    New variant on the way (3.18)

    It looks like the Quantum Dampener and EMP are controlled by the "passenger", not the pilot, as well.

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    The sooner it gets here the better - I'm not sure my ship budget (mainly for potential WB CCU's - I already have a Vulture and no real need\desire for the Scorpius Antares) can handle the $Aus dropping too much further. To make matters worse, there's the "sale" with the release, coupled with...

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    Looked at another way, by the time you are able to play at least some of the potential server (and client?) side bugs will be ironed out and you should have a better experience than you would have had were you able to play at release...

    MISC Fury?

    It's hard to tell what it could be, based on just the name. It could be (among other possibilities): Fury -> Rage (combat) Fury -> Force (tractor beam focussed) - Possible multi-crew "SRV" style vehicle with larger\multiple tractor beams Fury -> Tear apart (salvage\ship breaker) - intermediate...

    MISC Fury?

    Mentioned at around 29:07, one of the 4 interns from Sweden (David) in the VFX team was stated to be working on this ship\vehicle. Given (according to the roadmap) that the VFX team appear to start working on ships\vehicles towards the end of their development, it's possible that we'll see this...

    Pirates Vs Protectors in 3.18?

  7. B

    For the Salvage peeps

    It's probable the "munching" will be (at least initially) along the same lines as ship destruction (with "cutting" lines matching where a hull splits on exploding), although there would likely be further work required on this both to allow the Vulture to do this, as well as to break down the...

    For the Salvage peeps

    For some, "adventure" is what they want, for others, relaxation, or an escape from the stress of their work\daily life. What some see as "relaxing" or a "break from reality", others may see as stressful, or boring\"another job". Ideally there should be enough space for players to spread out...

    For the Salvage peeps

    The problem is that everyone has their own view of what the game should be, yet few are willing to consider the views of others unless they agree with them. Add the way the game forces players with conflicting views of what the game is\"should be" into one system, and it's hard for players to...

    For the Salvage peeps

    You may still get some of that with salvage once they move on to "munching" ships and ability to remove components\drain fuel (much of the latter will probably be reliant on the implementation of drones). Sadly, with the way "soft death" now works, I'm not sure whether we'll have the risk of...

    For the Salvage peeps

    That's taking a cynical view of mining (or other industries), but even so, here are a few opportunities in mining which could be used to influence a variety of mining ships: There could be a "dual laser" mining option (similar to hull scraping) which could either be used to "scrape" a rock to...

    Sale incoming?

    I'd seen that as well, but when I testd a couple of nights ago, I didn't have the piano as an option - It was the table or nothing on mine. I did, however, see someone mention that the piano was finally working\appearing in 3.18, so it could just be a bug with the ship (like the hot-tub not...

    Sale incoming?

    All Constellation Phoenix (Standard and Emerald) come with the Lynx. From what I have learnt, the Piano was included with early models of the standard Phoenix (I don't know which versions, if any, of the Emerald have it). I believe the Piano was sold individually as well ("Hartwell Music...

    Sale incoming?

    If you're lucky, they'll do a larger pack containing a group of ships you already have, with a price above $1000, so you can buy it with credits from melting the ships you have and still receive the LTI. If they don't do a pack with an LTI Phoenix, I'll probably have be wait until I have the...

    Sale incoming?

    I'm actually hoping that the Lynx is released during Fortuna (work on it is scheduled to conclude at around that time), with the Constellation Phoenix and\or the Constellation Phoenix Emerald being obtainable with LTI as a result. While the Lynx has been included with both Constellation Phoenix...

    Sale incoming?

    It would depend on your intention with the Prospector: If it's not something you intend to keep, you can buy it any time. If you're interested in having it as a permanent part of your fleet, waiting for it to go on sale with more than 6 months "insurance", or using CCU's may be a better option...

    For the Salvage peeps

    Bad news for anyone looking for additional salvage, repair, or refining ships: Quote taken from the latest "Jump Point". It would be nice if each profession had even half as many ship options as combat does...

    Interestingly, Vehicle Munching is on the roadmap, with work scheduled to finish at the end of March...

    Sale incoming?

    It would have been interesting to see that picture, to try and work out what the ship\vehicle were. Edited to add: It sounds reminiscent of the Hoverquad\Nomad pack from back when the Hoverquad released: Would it be possible that they reused a picture from that? In the near future, we'll be...

    3.19 mining changes detailed in ISC

    Hopefully this will kill off the "Quantanium is the only thing worth mining" approach. I wonder if the mining outposts will also be affected, so that the commodities they sell reflect what can be mined in the area? I'd also love to see the outposts changed at the same time, so that they sell...
