    600i Q&A

    They could consider it to be a personal touring ship.

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    I was wondering if you were ok, but I figured you were probably distracted. I probably should have shortened my quote "We shall be shadows"

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    Auto-land systems need to be explored, as well as automated combat launch (Straight out the door) Hands on landings/launches from the craft inside will probably end up causing more damage than weapons fire long term.

    Actually, there is gravity. It shows when people call to their death from orbit. In atmosphere, ships will expend maneuvering fuel in order to stay aloft. In order to refuel, they must go back into space, land and refuel, or get fuel from a starfarer. In space, hydrogen is only expended at a...

    Simple. I don't want to cart ungrateful VIPs all over the place. I want to find stuff. If I was going to get it, it would be because of the speed and maneuverability, not the luxury. Speed and maneuverability gives me two advantages. It lets me navigate unknown jump points better, and it...

    What sort of specialty ships do we have?

    Seriously, we have a lot of people, so we have a lot of ships. Even if it was only an aurora (which every member of test should have...or at least had) If there is a particular ship you want to serve on, I am sure you will get the chance.

    Doing a comparison of the Aquila vs the 600i explore. Not just from the ship matrix, but also from some of the text of the brochure Breakdown is Aquila /// 600i explore. Weapons Guns 4xS5 hardpoints /// 3xS5 Hardpoints 1 turret with 2xS2 Hardpoints Room for 1 more turret at expense of sensor...

    Don't have a problem with the crash, the tech, or anything else they did during the demo. I thought it was a pretty good demo. What I do have a problem with is the lack of communication with us, the backers. I don't think they did an adequate job describing all the changes they were making to...

    crash your 600s to get better engines for your connies (just pull them out before you crash em)... Probably insurance fraud though

    Connie sized. Remember, they have resized most things. Fighter sized will use mostly S1 stuff except weapons. Connie Sized is S2 except weapons. Not sure about Freelancer sized stuff I think StarF, StarG, Carrack, etc will be S3 Polaris S4?...might still be S3 Idris will be next up...then...

    This looks like it will be faster than the connie. Brochure says the highest speed in it's class

    One thing I didn't like. The Capital ship combat was much too short. In general, I thought ships exploded too quickly. I don't mind if the game turns into a shooter so long as some of the big consequences they were saying would happen are significantly reduced.

    Supposedly, this was the first time they tried driving up the ramp. As for physics break downs...yep. That's why they are now in the cleanup phase on 3.0. They have a lot of tech in there right now and it's time to push to a new alpha release. I've taken a look at the progress reports and...

    Face tracking, my worries and issues.

    From what I've been able to find out, a lot of this tech was designed by another company (faceware tech). It seems that the "work" being done is just integrating it into their systems. If this is the case, It might really be better to integrate it now, then have to rebuild things later...

    The 600 explorer is close to the aquila, not the carrack.

    Things we noticed during demo

    I agree. This is a lot more than the 3.0 that was shown last year. Is it enough to calm the group of people out for blood? No idea. Also, how does the money get split? Can you share cash in 3.0?

    Things we noticed during demo

    Love some of the new tech, but I hope it's not needed for everything. That said, trackIR might not be needed anymore. 12 second flight from between the two moons.
