Is this a place to make a plug for the notion of the folks here to loan their ships to others who can't afford what they'd like to fly? Seems like a great team-building exercise to me. Lots of us have way more ships than we can field. If there is someone flying an Aurora or Mustang and your SuperhHornet is just sitting, why not offer a fellow Testie some fun time?
Literally already something discussed starting years ago. There absolutely is a "ship rental" program in some form or another going to be in place for Test Squadron. But its success does depend greatly on people not being stupid with other peoples ships, so good luck with that.
If they cover the costs of everything uninsured, I can't see how it would be much concern. Suppose they paid you the costs of all weapons up front? Would you not then have no risk?
That depends entirely on how easy it is to use the in-game ship replacement program, and what effect (if any) losing a ship will have on insurance. Along with several other factors like I don't want to loan my ship to someone who is going to be doing dumb shit, just because they can afford it. There is a difference between having fun in the game, and trolling your corp.
IMO Fighters are overpriced in the comparsion. I'd sorta let the Cutlass slip since it isn't really a fighter anymore and the rework looks cool, but IMO you get the choice between buying something inferior or spending so much you'd get a fairly big ship for it.
I have not heard anything about quad mounts, but have been hoping for this from the start. Does anyone have any detail about this? Is it a real thing? Is it just for turrets, or is there a possibility we will be able to mount quad S1s into larger gimbals like those on the Prowler? Will we be able to mount triple S2s on an S6 gimbal?
The Hurricane for example does have a quad mount turret.
No I got plenty 0$ CCU in my hangar and in my buyback that I can recall that the same CCU in the store today are not 0$ any more.
Cool... guess there's hope for me to get something bigger than a Herald as 2nd Ship then... :P
This isn't true by the way. I melted my explorer pack, fiddled around with loads of ships, just bought my explorer pack back and it cost me more. Price dun gone up over in UK due to exchange rates.
Well that is just the exchange rate that have been corected but in general not counting to exchaneg rate going up and down, what you pay is what you buy back for.. ;)
Yes it's a shame though as I didn't realise it could happen. So when i decided to melt my stuff to have a play around with other stuff, I've lost $100+ worth of credits effectively. Big mistake I made.
Ouch! That's a low blow, I always check the difference on google comparing the price of a ship or buyback.. The different currency in the store.
The Anvil Hurricane concept sale kind of put it in perspective for me. Fighters are so constrained in their roles and pretty much one dimensional. So, goodbye Buccy, hello Red. If I feel the need to shoot something up, there will always be Arena Commander.
I like the Redeemer. You could actually solo it if need be and still lay down some wicked firepower. And as you just stated, its not as one dimensional as a dedicated fighter.
