I recall when they first offered the Scorpios they gave us a graphic that clearly showed a military application. Same here. There are two Zeus flying together in formation, firing and taking fire. Why anyone would want to take a ship this size into battle is beyond me. It’s pretty rare for a...

I should likewise seek to support peace here. I put up with a lot of complaining about CIG, but most of it is not here. It’s in various other groups some of which pander to complaints near daily. It is not fair for me to respond out of patience where the players seldom complain so my apologies...

Ouch. That hurt.

So you agree these JPEG ships are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them, and agree people are paying for them, but think it’s somehow morally deficient—NOT “the right thing to do”, for CIG to sell them at their offered prices? If that’s what you think (please correct me if I’m...

So, I came across a graphic of the ST version I had not seen. At time index 7:32 here, you can see two graphics both of which show a dorsal turret like on the MR. Note the background is of a battle. CIG has sent us little love notes like this before. I think it’s safe to say the ST is a combat...

I’m curious how you decide what is “the right thing to do.” I have never seen any signs in your complaints of sage-like wisdom, and in an age of moral vacuum I’m curious what is your guide. In free market capitalism, prices are set by what the market will bear, meaning free people get for their...

You do understand, the two big ticket items holding back the game were SQ42 and Server Meshing. Reports on both these fronts are good. It’s okay to be grateful for that.

BTW, in technical startups, the business people all assume the technical people (both physicists and engineers) are a dime a dozen and easy to replace, and the technical people tell themselves the business people are just there for the money and are easy to replace. None of this leads to the...

Is anyone spotting signs of slavers? IIRC this was offered as characteristic of the region some years ago, and I recall making a mental note to prey upon Pyro for their sins. Seemed they deserve some grief. Any signs of slavery? Slavers, blechh! Kill ‘em all I say. Once beta hits this is...

That’s true, but we don’t want to see the Blue relegated to the pile of useless. Rather, the MR seems to be taking only the larger ships from the Blue’s list of targets. It may be a step up, but primarily in that it can carry more boarders , take more hits and take larger ships. CIG has always...

The A1 and C1 both have an SCM of 154 and a top speed of 1,120m/s. They pull 15.5 gees forward and 9.9 lateral, and are apparently significantly better in atmo. So generally a little more agile than a Black or even the Blue in atmo, but with significantly less top speed than the Blue (1210)...

So the Fury is about half the mass and volume of the Cyclone TR when its in landing configuration. The Cyclone is 6 L x 8.75 W x 3.5 H and 27k kg. The Fury operational (and when contracted) is 7 (6.13) L x 5.4 (3.27) W x 3.8 (3) H and 15k kg. So looks like a fit. There may actually be room for...

Yes, I was wondering about that too. The tests they did indicate the rocks that can be towed are much smaller than you’d guess, but they probably mass out similar to ships.

Is anyone familiar enough with the size of the Cyclone (which we’re told will fit in the Zeus) as compared to the Fury? Will the Fury likewise fit in the Zeus?

S3 tractor on the C1 View: https://youtu.be/X7vl8mRnbnM?si=PdMLHKeVJV3FsiFQ

Repeated muggings have been reported where a player on the train near Arcorp 18 continues to OD characters with a med gun and steal all their stuff. So beware. At least three episodes have been reported so there are probably more.

So I guess I’m hooked on this ship. Both the ES and MR call to me. If they’re as quick and nimble as the Warden, and if they’re stealthy, I think I’m all in. I just can’t get away from the looks and given it comes stock with fixed guns, I’m thinking they made it pretty maneuverable. I adore the...

Great stuff. I want to see what happens if you grab a person and slam them into the side of a cage, etc. Has anyone spotted the S3 ship mounted tractor? I read in another group yesterday that the tractor is missing off the nose of the 315P.
