They had one and removed it. Consider for a moment why they might have done this. If you are flying a bird that needs serious horizontal motion to break hover, lets say like the Vanguards; and you flip the switch to turn off hover before you have adequate velocity, your ship ought to instantly...

Have you watched the two vids I posted on acceleration and hover? IIUC, the reason you seem to have trouble with an astonishingly high hover ceiling is that there is no ceiling. The toggle for hover/no hover does not consider altitude at all. It is just velocity relative to the ground/pad...

In CIGs defense, if you just look at what the ships are doing from third person, they actually appear to fly like ships, which was not true in the past. Yeah, it is going to take some skill to pilot close in now, but shouldn't it? Shouldn't there be an automatic reward for good piloting...

Hardpoint lists the Stalker, Reaper and Valkyrie V missiles as 31-34k lock range, 17-19km flight range. No update for the new missiles here yet. I don't think anything else calls out S7 missiles. Certainly there is nothing on Hardpoint nor SCDB 3.5. If the ranges are between the S5 and S9...

Congrats!

How did you spawn these? Any chance of putting them in a Reclaimer and transporting them to an asteroid to see how they perform, including lock range against any given target, and the lock range of that target, say against an HH or a Connie? This thing's utility is tied completely to its...

No details about the three versions. I have to wonder if they will work automated, and if you can drop them in vacuum, like on an asteroid, and have them track and attack on their own. That would be extremely very cool, especially given decent radar. I don't get they're marking it as 2X...

I doubt the mechanism CIG uses posits fixed blades, nor even blades at all. The Prowler doesn't have blades. It has grav plates. One simple observation would be to see if there is any negative thrust setting for any given ship, but really the only empirical way to know is to try to fly a ship...

I think too, that the animations of SC ships taking off and landing have always sucked. They don't look like theyt're flying at all. Now you have to actually pilot a ship to pilot a ship, and that is what SC is supposed to be all about.

If someone wouldn't mind, I would dearly like to know if your ship, any ship, will hover properly inverted. For ages I've had a hankerin' to fly the Vanguards inverted on terrestrial strike missions so the turrets are facing downward. For drops obviously you need the Hoplites right side up, but...

Both great vids! I think we'll soon see great piloting skills displayed in hover handling, and for some tasks it will be truly important stuff. I did not note an explaination of what benefits are to be had with ships like the Prowler, that supposedly have enhanced Hover. It will be...

I will as soon as I'm able! Yes, I'm very interested in this, as well as carrying 4 S3s and 2 S4s. S4's have 19km range, so. . .hitting people who maybe can't see you is fun!, and IIRC, something like 9k damage so a small bird could go down in a single hit. I am however, still curious how much...

Has anyone checked out the new Hoplite or Warden to test and see if the four fixed nose guns can be replaced as stated? Has anyone looked at the reactors? Anyone put Daybreaks in the Vanguards yet? Anyone looked at performance with one of the two reactors shut down? Anyone tried swapping out...

How do i get my plane out of the tree? I left a six pack in there. Well, part of one.

Yes, retractable confirmed. Also that the modular BUK packages swap across all platforms--sounds like any Vanguard can become any other Vanguard-- the S2s in the nose will be swappable for some other, but not all S2 guns, and the turrets will be swappable! meaning there is something of choice to...

The better deal you get when buying larger ships seems to apply primarily to original purchase. Once you have ships I don't think you can save in quite the same way by trading in for bigger. There are probably calculators available online you could use to confirm this. IMHO, there are two...

So does the Hoplite get cargo space?

What Vavrik said. Certainly, if you are flying a stealth bird, you ought to care about scan dynamics, because you're optimizing around that quality rather than others. You need to be able to fly unobserved and if you don't know what is a plausible detection distance, you can't do that...

Is there anyone here who can share with us what the Long Look radar does on the Tracker?
