There was quite a bit of discussion when tractor beams came into the game for the multitool. The idea CIG expressed at the time was that if the ships shields are up, a tractor beam would have a very difficult time holding on to a ship. If you go back and look at the Q&A for the SRV you should...

Very much in agreement @Sayora I may be in the wrong group now.. as this season, no new cash was spent. Even credit was selectively applied, although my hangar is pretty much out of tricks for the foreseeable future. Take hope folks! It can be done!! In the meantime, I'll join you with a shot...

I've sworn off blondes.. being one myself, it's too much work. But you said a magic word there, Guinness...

True. Would be more accurate to say that not all of its intended targets are in the game yet, and the systems (armor, physicalized damage, proper distortion effects, engineering etc) are still in development. I rolled all that up into one horribly generalized statement. Less coffee or more...

Would suggest taking Camural with a grain of salt. If you don't have any on hand he'll supply it for you. Both Ares currently are on par with the Cutty, Freelancer, Valkyrie and Hurricane for maneuverability. Forward accel has also been reduced to around 15g's, which is still fun. As a...

Agreed.. the game is slowly being moved in that direction, where support ships will be as useful/necessary as the damage dealers for group play. A Vulcan, Terrapin, a couple Ares and Vanguards could become a highly effective hunting patrol. As to the Ares being exceptional; gonna voice the...

In tonight's PTU patch (7871074) the accelerations and handling have been tuned.. less forward accel (a mere 15+G :) but considerably better handling. I found the original tuning frustrating to fly; this is much better, and I was able to hammer both models through Pirate Swarm. The Ion took 10...

Agreed, but the Singe never worked reliably in game, and the server tick rate was the culprit normally pointed to. Some of the laser cannon had velocities that were much higher than current as well. Right now I think that the overall nerf to everything (shields, guns, and ship agility...

@Bambooza @vahadar agreed, this ship is BEASTLY I don't know how it will be adjusted, but do expect something to change. @Pippen if you can't grab one for yourself, grab one of us.. the fun meter pegs in this ship! EDIT: To your original question, the Warden, or any Vanguard, with the AD5B...

A quick point on the MSR - John Crewe has stated that the scanning array is *not* equivalent to that of the Aquila or DUR, intended for 'local' scanning only. Of course we lack any context for what those words mean to CIG... I do recall one of the senior game engineers talking about local...

The honest answer to your question is that we can't answer it with facts yet. Freelancers were stated long ago to be the largest ship that would fit through a small wormhole. But during the hype around the MSR, it was stated they expect that to fit thru any wormhole that the Freelancer will...

EDIT: PTU 7822709 I think the medium components must be in the middle of a balance pass on PTU. There was no measurable difference in this ship. Neither of Erkul's calculators match these numbers. Stock except for Hemera QTD: EM 11649 IR 11150 With Nightfall coolers and Eclipse reactors: EM...

He does make a few good points, but given his historic bias against anything Origin and for anything Drake, worth taking with a grain or two of salt. I usually enjoy Minion's thought process, but this is an area where he falls on his face occasionally. He does here when trying to equivocate...

You are not wrong, but those laws a) are in active development b) don't apply everywhere. And the entire reason for existence of a Point Defense turret is near-instantaneous response once a threat is identified. In 'lawful' monitored space, the act of releasing the bomb could easily be the...

I am going to suggest that right now, bombing is not relevant. Players own no structures; that gameplay is a long way off, allowing for plenty of time for counters to be brought into the game. As someone who has used the A2, it's not all that. To select a target on the ground with any accuracy...

My name is Ayeteeone, and I endorse this message!! Using @wmk 's method I was able to turn Tram and Meyer's into a blistering fireball!

I completely agree with you except on one part of your statement. Having spoken to Sarah McCulloch after the release of the C8X, I know she put a SILLY amount of effort into it. It wasn't an open concept; the list of constraints and goals she had to work with was huge. Not the least of which was...

Shadow I think you might be taking this too seriously.. Having said that, the Carrack actually makes quite a bit of sense as there is a vehicle which can be stolen to assist in the escape that prolongs your lifespan on the surface. Drive out, and up into the waiting garage.

Happy to hear that my mental meanderings have been helpful :) There are more iterations to come; while the community response seems to have been mostly positive, there's been nothing yet on how CIG views the results thus far. So waiting it out is probably wise. (Full-ish disclosure - these...

I don't have an answer for you. I worked several projects in Kabul over 2013 and 2014; of the guys and gals I worked with only a few got out before the collapse and I've only heard of 2 making it out in the aftermath.
