    Permanent fleet planning question

    It's worth noting that if you plan is for the permanent part of the game, there will no longer be wipes. The question no longer reverts back to what you buy with real cash, but what your fleet should look like. When Beta hits dying will become something to avoid and avoiding it will be more...

    Reevaluating the Meta

    Certainly, for locking down fighter traverse across a sector of Vanduul controlled space, there's nothing worse for the creeps than a fast stealth fighter carrying a pair of AD4B. Hit and go tactics. . .run amuck. Kill them. They all deserve to die. Kill and disappear in Vanduul space...

    Reevaluating the Meta

    I think we're using the term "feather" differently. What I heard was that the tiny veins that stick out the back can be shot away and not affect flight performance outside atmosphere. Are you saying this is not true?

    Reevaluating the Meta

    I don't know. When you say "without a wing" are you talking about shooting off the feathers or the engine? I still can't go on Discord for security reasons--consequences of working in aero/defense. So whatever you can glean and share is appreciated. I don't make the rules.

    so I had an idea for the carrack.

    The Carrack has long been criticized for its sole entryway. I think CIG promised some time ago to provide a fix. I doubt it will come before we see the modules.

    Reevaluating the Meta

    I personally favor the Arrow, because it depends upon higher agility, and that suits me. Also, I prefer the Arrow because I believe that when we finally get to running the Sons of Orion storyline, we'll be doing deep incursions into Vanduul space that require some sort of carrier, and that we...

    Reevaluating the Meta

    Just a quick question. The meta for combat fighting always seems to be the Gladius. However, the Talon has the same SCM and top speed, same range, more hull, same shield, same weapons damage (except that the Talon's S4s hit out to another km), and if reports are accurate--the Talon accelerates...

    Gallant and Grenade Party

    View: https://youtu.be/KO_SA8gYUzE Note she starts out with the Gallant set on 3 round burst, and switches to 5 round burst. The former seems much more effective. Later on she is emptying 4 squeezes of 5 rounds into a single target and it barely goes down. I think the recoil must be enough...

    Tractor beams and salvage game loops are going to be big! (Video)

    Another point to keep in mind for 3.19, it should be the first patch where we’ll be able to swap components in the field. So if you’re flying a medium ship or larger, or a small ship with an actual cabin (300 series), you should for example be able to fly a Civilian A q-drive for max range/speed...

    Tractor beams and salvage game loops are going to be big! (Video)

    Sorry I missed this and posted a duplicate. I’m on my phone so can’t delete it but I’m sure it will die quickly. I’m personally hoping for two things here. First, that we’ll be able to flip a switch in the cockpit and ships like the 315 will autoload their cargo spaces. It needs to be powerful...

    3.18 is live (EDIT: we voted that 3.18 is not live)

    Earliest reports are the patch is surprisingly stable. So good news thus far.

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    Yes, due any second.

    Noobifier wants the game to be commercially released, and my thoughts on the matter.

    That wasn't my take away at all. My take away was a bit of shock that so many people think their opinion in this matter, matters, when Chris has always been consistent in noting he will not release it until it is finished. "It will be done when it is done." The whining is just childish...

    Scorpius Anteres in PTU

    I hate that they invented yet a third S4 EMP and gave it better stats than the others. 1100M radius beats the 750 and 900 M radius of the others and CIG does not allow us to swap them. Why poke the bear? I fail to see the point.

    How to get a free Carrack

    "High performance ramp" cracked me up.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    The FBI and DOE can both be made to reverse their official position. All it takes is for Trump to say the virus is from the lab.

    For the Salvage peeps

    This is a bug. If you look at the extraction rates on the split screen, it is clear that salvaging intact hulls is intended to extract faster than extracting from pieces. He's just not reading his gauges.

    First mention of work beginning on the Titan Suits!

    The last official image I have seen has the knee joint of the suit at the foot of the driver, and that knee slides on a rail down the front of the suit shin to the foot of the suit. So what you have is a suit that is only about 7' tall when shipping, but closer to 10' tall when in use...

    MISC Fury?

    I'm still hoping for a long-range crew of 3 stealth recon scout with quad S9 torp launchers. An oversized version of the Tana would be bangin'.
