I was looking for a different way of presenting the idea, something more relateable. To that end I don't feel successful because my point is that in sports, the OG player-vs-player, you might not win the game but you aren't penalized by losing previously earned income. Insurance does NOT make...

Player vs Player in any other sport, take Baseball - Say the Yankees fly into Seattle to take on the Mariners. This isn't generally a hard game for them; there might be a couple of questionable calls but usually they play, notch a win and then both teams head out for the night to do it again the...

Hmmm. Prospector - awesome original form-following-function design. I'd love to know how much cash this little ship has brought into CIG's bank accounts. MOLE - brave attempt that fails horribly. Physically it's oriented down-front to do everything, but blocks the pilot's view of the work...

His content isn't worth the time it takes to write this response. But out of respect for the OP @Mudhawk I'll put in that @BUTUZ called it perfectly. No room in life for intentional jackasses.

The Constellation series would like a word. Only one though, as they need to get back to work being good at everything.

Had no interest in the game until you brought up John Pritchett. Flying a 315p in the 2.6 branch was the adrenaline hook that got me into SC, and John was the guy developing the physics and code for that flight model. I very much miss the days of sliding between asteroids at full throttle...

You keep talking like this, Santa might not visit.. even if it does come true lol. As someone who has been in 4.0 almost daily, it is coming along well but there is a metric ****ton of changes to get functional.

In the IAE Show this morning it was indicated tthat the Guardian will be coming in 4.0. So probably immediately after IAE, as that patch is still problematic.

@Thalstan Been thinking about your original question... best guess is, Not for 1.0. At some point beyond that yes. Short version is that the replacement for scanning is already in the SQ42 dev build, we've seen it used in past presentations and the expectation is that it will be in the SC...

To some extent I think that's inherent. In describing the MSR gameplay it was said that it might take missions to go scan an area and return the data. The ability to hack may become the difference, but who really knows? It would not be a huge stretch to put in Tier 0 courier missions for...

Welcome back!! Absolutely in the Discord, there is someone on at any time of day. These forums are a good record, but participation could certainly be better as it's usually just a handful of us discussing things.

Best reason I've ever heard to buy a ship in this game !! This is supposed to be FUN, after all :)

Items 1 and 3-7 are all gameplay that has been discussed at various times and I expect to see. Genuinely if these don't show up then I'll be finding a new hobby (with apologies to Tessa) as these were my attraction to this game. 2 is a very cool idea that would give additional purpose to the...

I don't see them cutting back on systems. We've known for years that the initial release would only be a handful. The big reveal regarding systems this year was actually that every planet will have hundreds to thousands of points of interest, instead of one or two. It was bluntly stated in the...

Good questions on a topic that is near and dear. Some thoughts to add, but no good answers.. The scanning portion of exploring, particularly 'long range scanning' is dependent on server meshing. As the area of responsibility and managed entities are intended to be fluid numbers, it will be...

Pssst... Galaxy too..

A hauler big enough to carry a full size Valakar. A Crusader starter that probably could have been a great medium or heavy fighter with a couple of component changes. Or a competitor to the Recon Cutter. Looks aside, I think CIG missed a trick with this one. The Anvil 'Paladin' with 4 size 4...

I'd say only in passing, but now we know what to play over the station PA system! @maynard Not necessarily. ELO was an integral part of the soundtrack for GEN X's teenage years, back when creativity meant actually creating something unique, not sampling/copying/covering/riffing off of somebody...

Lots of good discussion, but one point that should be corrected.. The medical beds in the Red are Tier 3; The bed in the Medical Terrapin is Tier 2 which is the same treatment class as the Carrack and the 890J. How much this matters DOES remain to be seen, but given how CIG has developed...

I agree with your analysis here. They are reaching hard for a way to incorporate PvP as a value-added aspect of the game, but this mechanic (the shield system in Pyro) feels incredibly artificial and forced. Taken to it's logical conclusion, it becomes a necessary duty to perform to protect...
