Sure, it's kinda cheap to just have a floating rectangle after another and call that a staircase, but that's really not just sci-fi fantasy. It could be just a really advanced quantum locking method (for actually levitating stairs) or it could be the struts are just optically imperceptible...

Well, you only need to have the assets done to make a teaser and announce it. I didn't mean that we'd necessarily go from having just Stanton to flying around Pyro, Nyx and the third one.

Those red splodges look more like islands than anything gaseous. That landing zone looks real interesting. I was kind of wondering how would they make Orison lag as much as the other capital cities, but I see the answer now. Hmmm. Wasn't expecting anything related to perma death in this patch...

Wait, $20 CCU from Aquila to BMM? Was that like a deal at some point or how'd that happen?

I still want to see a weapons platform module for Endeavor though. Y'know like, just 1x1 modules with two twin S4 turrets, 1x1 modules with one S8 crewed cannon mount, 2x2 module with a S25 artillery piece... Maybe bit exaggerated... But like, a very big gun with slow fire rate but extreme range...

It is my understanding that singe-1 got included as part of the 3.5 patch. Think they've done several balance passes for the guns that are actually in use, but think Singe-1 is just forgotten in the corner with some weird older values. AFAIK it is currently unobtainable.

Don't touch your mouse. Then just W, use A / D to strafe past obstacles instead of turning your screen.

Interestingly enough, I did some math here: Take daymar, it has ingame radius of 295km, which conveniently gives us 1.09mil sqkm surface area. If you are landed on the planet mining with 10k EM rating and some guy with a ship with s3 radars flies to the planet and stops at 3km height, (this...

With prospector, as long as you swap to Eclipse stealth powerplant, your EM drops from 30k to 10k while mining & maneuvering. I'd say that's pretty stealthy as well, considering you'll be on some random spot right at the surface of the planet or at like a million meter wide asteroid belt.

Yeah, that'd make sense, to an extent. Kraken having two different versions of it, the privateer and the... Kraken. Where the privateer replaces cargo hold 1 and cargo hold 2 with a market. And both of those are carriers to begin with, not cargo haulers. Meanwhile BMM has always been classed as...

@TomcatTrader Everything that Talonsbane said. Sage advice. Commit it to memory, rent and crash an Aurora to commemorate. To add, during IAE some of those warbond CCUs MAY come with an insurance upgrade as well. So keep an eye out for those. That's how I upgraded my game package ship to LTI.

Yeah, that's what I meant by "Yes-ish (Not the bengal, but some smaller ships)" because we certainly can lift off from some ships. I'd still say it's going to feel lot different lifting off from an actual carrier, with several wings of fighters following you, but 890 is cool AF as well.

Oh, damn. That really fooled me, because everything looks just so much more detailed now. The 2012 demo was looking... very 2012.

So, in order to avoid things that I actually should be doing, I figured I'd take a look at what was Star Citizens original scope for that original 2014 delivery date. (Yes, I may have ran into another person complaining about how "Star Citizen was supposed to come out in 2014 and it didn't".)...

Well, it very easily could. 1 SCU is 1.25*1.25*1.25 m. This means that 3584 SCU would take up 7000 cubic meters. Sounds like lot? It isn't. That's just a cube that's 19.13m*19.13m*19.13m. Or 19m*19m*19.4m to make it a bit prettier. Now, with BMM being 160m*160m*65m (LxWxH), fitting that sort of...

Hear hear! If this keeps up, BMM should be 1.6km long with S11 guns and able to solo Kingships by the time it comes out.

Y'know, this got me thinking about how we're not entirely sure about the cargo capacity, though there was that one thread where we took a look at the measurements, looked at the supposed cargo area and figured that yes, theoretically it'd be possible that it has the amount of SCU currently...

Oh deer. I wonder if we'll be getting any cool new deets about it, there's been some concept artist assigned to it for a while now, could get a new jpeg.

Well, when selecting a cargo hauler, the way I see it you basically always want bigger/more shields. Taurus has 2xS2, that's 1k hp/s regen overclocked (FR-series). Railen has 2xS3, that's 13.5k hp/s regen overclocked (FR-series). Let's say you're flying alone, and two pirate Cutlass Blacks show...

Interesting. So the wing design and thruster placement tells me this is going to be one agile ship. And an agile ship with 2xS3 shields? Forget cargo hauling, this one's a tank. A very agile tank. 4xS4 forward facing guns, that's not bad either. Really hate the S1 and S2 missiles though. Ah...
