Nice...Thanks Mr. Sunder.

 

[Knax]

37!? what was it before?

 

[Black Sunder]

37!? what was it before?

It was listed as 10 for the longest time because they never updated the stats from when it was a corvette.

 

[Crymsan]

I bet that rail gun will be fun to fire! Well if it hits!

 

[JackAvalon]

These stats lead me to believe that they are more indicative of the M variant rather than the P. The M will have the S10 railgun but the P will not. The P variant should however have more maneuverability and more cargo space. I'm interested to see what comes out in the future as they build the game.

When I get home I'll look in the Concierge forum to see how much salt has been generated that the ship can not be solo NPC crewed with any sort of efficiency.

 

[JackAvalon]

I think if people really want to solo a capital ship they should look to games such as Dreadnought. Just my two cents anyways. Im looking forward to teaming up with my fellow Testies and flying my Idris-P on some drunken ops.

Solo is for sex! Multi person is for Idris. Why is this concept so hard for some people?

 

[Crymsan]

They do look like organisation ships. Balance will be key here but is it better to have ten players on an idris (am assuming you do not need 37), or say ten in vanguards or redeemers or whatever. Sadly the NPC requirement for this game does worry me.

 

[AstroSam]

In which way does it worry you?

They really pumped up the Idris. Originally it was planned for about 10 people (?). Now 37?? Holy Moly.
But after even get lost within the Starfarer I'm not sure if I want to get into the Idris - and the only way to get of this ship is to kill myself :D

 

[Crymsan]

I am worried because it seems a lot of people are buying multi crew ships with at least the hope they can fly them some of the time on their own. The whole funding of star citizen has been on buying more than a starter ship. NPC behaviour will be key to this.

If you bought an Idris, surely you can afford the even more glorious Aurora for solo play! :)

 

[Crymsan]

Sadly I upgraded my aurora LN LTI and no way to undo it!

 

[AstroSam]

Tzzz, whys here no dislike-butto?!
Anyway, you will be charged as "guilty". Punishment: no beer for you this weekend, Crysman...Crmysa...Crasmyr...ah whatdahell...;)

:D

Holy Moly indeed, that's more people than fit into one server instance

I want some of what those devs are smoking

 

[AstroSam]

64 are matching into a server instance currently - or is it the defined goal? Ah, and I might be wrong but didn't Chris Roberts mention that they are to kill the instance strategy and going another way...?
[edit]yeah right, here it is: http://www.starcitizenblog.de/2016/03/instanzierung-neu-gedacht.html?showComment=1457684139098#c6454743361555625620
One german guy has thought this whole message over and explained it and made some draft pics (no translation, sorry)

 

[Crymsan]

Ah so its a weopon of mass exclusion!

 

[Walex]

Take Off Method VTOL

Holy crap! You know this is essentially like having your own marvel Helicarrier, except IN SPACE!!!
Please post pics of you with a badass eyepatch! :D (Probably best to skip the blackface!)

But seriously, it's blowing my mind what this thing will be like flight-ready, in universe. I'm blown away by the Beerfarer in the Hangar, just thinking about how that will work with a full crew!

Max Crew 37
37 Crewmen! Awesome!

This is where we will demonstrate that the combined ineptitude of thirty-seven inebriated TESTies will be a truly terrifying and unpredictable force in the SC Universe! :D

 

[AstroSam]

Yeah, well, to stay on a serious level: I've remembered that I read about the plan of RSI to initiate own instances within capital ships, thus you are playing in an instance which is one of n instances within a section (with reference to my before mentioned link).
