That is indeed the real question! There has been some language Chris has used over the years that seemed to imply, that one cannot escape the law by removing the witnesses, and that all piracy will evoke criminal status. he has even said people won't be able to escape this by using alts, or...

I think Montoya was speaking of the turrets, not the spinal mounts. IIRC, the Idris is supposed to have 6 S6 manned turrets, which should mount a pair of the S5 lasers. That gives them lots more range than anything a fighter can carry apart from missiles. In such a scenario, the fighter wants...

Yeah. I think everyone will be flying in a suit in case they are boarded, which would almost always suck all the air out. Blowing stuff up will do that.

I'm not following.

Well if you melt your Vanguard and fly the Hoplite you get as a loaner for the Prowler. . .you don't need to spend THAT much more. I dunno though, if you can use your BUK on the Hoplite to get your Harbinger back.

I am particularly interested in the specific ranges any given ship will see a Ghost, Sabre or similarly armored ship. For instance, if a ship with S2 sensors like a StarG can see a Vanguard at 20 km, and when you put Void Armor on the Vanguard it cannot be seen until it is at 5 km, it will be...

I'm not. I have not thought much about stealing ships at port but someone here just noted the old proverb that locks are meant to be picked. It's true. Locks do not stop thieves, they just keep honest people honest. Real thieves will always find a way to pick the lock, break the lock...

The SH comes with a larger reactor and especially if you are running big shields and energy weapons, the reactor would make a difference both in performance, and in the EM and IR signatures you put out. Likewise, the reactor in the Ghost was supposed to have been chosen to minimize EM and IR...

Chris Roberts has said more than once that UEE ships do not have a self destruct. Vanduul ships have a self destruct, but humans do not kill themselves willingly, and if you think you will blow up the ship to stop someone boarding it, you will be disappointed to find that is not an option...

Has anyone ever said officially there will be a way to lockbreak, other than blowing up the door? same with ship access. Is there going to be a way to circumvent personal permissions and take command of ships without owner permission? Seems that would be less necessary for boarding, since the...

I've been through several hurricanes, latest including Sandy the eye of which passed right over my house, and I know from experience the reports are true--the flooding afterward is always more dangerous than the high winds. The reason is primarily that people are smart enough to get out of 80...

Prayers for you guys. . .

. . .but I got a box that goes BOOM! that says all doors are open to me.

Is there a way to put the Ghost Void armor on the S-Hornet? If you buy the S-Hornet frame, what can you not do with it by swapping out components that you can do with another Hornet? If you buy something like the Tracker to S-Hornet upgrade, so you lose the Tracker turret? If you buy the...

Ah but we already know Montoya has 6 Javelins hid out back behind his house. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!

So far as I am aware, there is no shortage of ships of any sort. I would focus on purchasing ships that will be in game ASAP. Purchasing ships that won't be released for a coupe years let is probably not going to be as satisfying in the short term.

This is true, but with exceptions. It is objectively true they can add people to work on more ships at once, for example. Right now, there is no hope to have all the ships flyable in 2 years, and most of the ships offered and paid for are never going to be ready by Beta. That is something...

I think that was a good analysis, and good guesses as to how the various community components will respond. Certainly there was too much to lose and too little to gain by doing a live demo. If it were me, I would make a very public explanation of how I am hiring at least 3 more workers for...

This would be a kick to fly with 6X S4 ballistic cannon on the nose, and all those glorious S3 missiles; if you could point the ship like a fighter. Instead it is going to handle like a garbage scow. 4XS2 main propulsion sucks. This thing is the mass of a Tally, and the Tally has 2XS5 pushing...
