    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    Fair enough! It does seem that way, but I don't have an explanation either. I suppose parts of a large target ship may be >600m away and thus its hitbox intersects the shell of the EMP pulse, when the target marker says it's closer than that?

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    That's awesome - nice vid, and going by the upload date 25 Jun 2021 it's current for 3.13. Also, even nicer tactical explanation of what's happening. It seems anyone could orbit and hit a target similarly well with just a little practice, and it all seems quite calm and methodical too. I was...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    Thanks all, very interesting and it will be fun to see how these mechanics evolve as the game matures. I am looking forward to using this Sentinel build as part of a wing for a long range cap ship attack some day. But to come back to one part of my initial premise for asking those questions...

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    Good review, thanks for sharing. Have been using a Tobii Eye Tracker 5 since mid December; six months. I haven't played with the settings very much, and only in SC's menus. Didn't touch the curves or settings in the Tobii software at all yet - didn't need to. I found I like to only keep head...

    Congratulations (sort of) and welcome (definitely)!

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    I have a vague notion of how stealth mechanics are intended to work in Star Citizen, though it's incomplete and imprecise. And I get that they will likely evolve and change quite a bit over time. But how would you use stealth for, say PvE bounty hunting in a Vanguard Sentinel? Here are some...

    Tell me I didn't make a mistake... Ordered VKB vs. Virpil

    Virpil seem to have a backlog of Alpha preorders all the time, and I guess it is sort of self-limiting because lots of potential buyers also don’t want to wait. I pre-ordered and had to wait just under five weeks for mine to arrive, including a few days languishing in UK customs waiting for...

    To Thrust(master) or not to Thrust, that is the question..

    Hi @Starscribe, TL;DR, don't. At least, I did, and I wouldn't recommend it for SC. I have a Warthog HOTAS and it’s a nice enough piece of kit, which I enjoyed using for ED and flight sims a few years ago. It's very heavy and solid and well made, but it is EXPENSIVE, and it really isn’t optimal...

    Hello from another UK dad with too little time and (probably) too much money spent on SC

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts on Mole vs Prospector. I kind of think I'm not going to be satisfied until I've given both a good go :) So far I'm up to about 1m aUEC mining Hadenite with a ROC and an MSR, and it's okay except for all the bugs. It's early days, so may change my mind, but I...

    Hello from another UK dad with too little time and (probably) too much money spent on SC

    Thanks NaffNaffBobFace! I haven't named mine yet, mostly because crashing them or being in them when I get a client or server crash might be too traumatic. I'm tempted to upgrade my Constellation Aquila to a Mole, but I have sort of become quite attached to it. With a Carrack for exploration and...

    Hello from another UK dad with too little time and (probably) too much money spent on SC

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hello. I'm brand new to Test Squadron, but have been playing a little bit of SC now and then since the beginning, when it was only hangars, lag and sub 10 FPS! I didn't bother playing for ages, but coming back to Alpha 3.11 in November was a revelation. How did...
