Play the game?! I don't remember that being a condition of the original arrangement...

Theory-crafting this through and thinking about the mech-style suits that are coming, as with Drones there is no reason why a highly vulnerable ground unit in a high-risk area like the front lines or a strategic target would have to have a physical person in it. The human controler could be in...

Richard.

An excellent point, especially with the Starter Ships, and lets face it they did change LTI to function outside of the Kickstarter so anything could happen. We can only work on what the rules are here and now, I suppose. Store Credit used to come with LTI on new concepts, it no longer does...

So you didn't get any ships in return for the $1000 you dropped on the project? I've not heared of that before, is there a way I can donate without getting any more jpgs? Even donating by being a subscriber gets you hangar flair... I take it your $1000 just turned into Store Credits immediately...

I'd love to see the source for where they said that ;-) From the day I first pledged on the first day of 2016, I was informed pledging was not a permanent funding method, and the pledge store would one day be closed at the end of beta - Further to that, I was told the pledge store itself would...

Migaloo springs to mind, its an Albino Humpback and the name matches your scheme very well... But the one I think could really suit your ships destructive potential didn't have a name as such - It washed up on the beach of Florence, Oregon so lets call this whale Florence: Instead of removing...

Don't apologise - it's good to know you may have at least one priority outside of a computer game. Thats pretty reassuring if you ask me.

Who knows at the end of Beta there may even be an CCU amnisty where the'd open up $0 CCUs again and let everyone make the fleet they really want before the lockdown. All theorycraft but i'd hope that to be the case.

And the other percentage of the concierge who are Original Kickstarter Backers say no ship sold since that point should have had LTI. I don't think anyone is going to be a winner in the LTI crapshoot. For the Kickstarters they can take comfort in the fact their sacrifice may have turned it from...

I swear when I joined I was told that the more the game progressed the more they would want us to play rather than pay. the store becoming more and more nonviable part of that... I'm sure I was told this...?

Got any LTI Tokens? Do the CCU's stack up well? I joined right at the beginning of 2016 - I knew the Pledge Store and CCU system was always going to slowly become less and less viable until it was closed at the end of Beta... Perhaps this is the beginning of that process?

Based on those prices.... I can't wait to see what will happen to the Endeavor. Although i will have to :) Not due to be worked on until after the game goes live, I believe.

Helicopters have VTOL but drink fuel doing it, a helicopter cuts its time in the sky drastically flying slowly or hovering. Harrier Jump Jets have their throttles high when hovering too (as you'd expect). [Theroycraft=] Although every ship currently has the ability to VTOL in an atmosphere or...

I didn't make up the fictional wing and position of "Acting Head of TEST Weapons Research Lab (TWRL)" for nothing you know ;)

Uh.... Bombs don't need gravity to work in space.... They just need inertia.... You could have spececentric dive-bomber wings, where they fly at the target and release the payload... You don't even have the limitation of wind pushing the bomb off course, as long as the target is stationary...

According to this random video I just found on Youtube by some dude called @Montoya they mention its 100 meters - thats the same as the Starfarer but much wider: The Unique Selling Point for this ship as well as VTOL is it's roll-on-roll-off, there is a ramp at the back AND the front so no...

I'm saying thats an actual picture of my face after a particularly interesting one ;)

The Hurc is nice but i'll be keeping hold of my Taurus - I still remember when they said the Connie was likely to be the biggest ship you could solo effectively and I value that. Doesn't mean i'm not entertaining the idea of getting a Hurc though ;)

Crusader, buddy. Genesis is the only other ship they do right now, but I could see them being an Origin competitor in terms of cool ships if their sci-fi looks keep this level of awesome up, though.
