    That is so awesome.

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    Cool. According to the chart I've been using they should never overheat, so I am disappointed. The low fire rate I can handle for the sake of increased raw firepower and range, but not the overheating. I was thinking of putting 6 Sledges and 4 Panthers on a Redeemer and now I am all put off...

    So all the "VNCL" weapons on the table are Vanduul and not available to players? That would remove the option of that nice Blade Plasma Cannon I've been looking at. And even once we can hopefully capture Vanduul ships intact, they would not modify for UEE ship use, unless CIG changes its...

    I wish I had found this post before I started a new thread on the subject, but let me recommend the other thread anyway. I think that chart does actually explain what may be the case if indeed the notion of a "pool" of energy is correct. It should be easy to verify the contents of that table...

    And I take it there is no way to get your hands on these guns except capturing the fighters that sport them?

    Understanding the Weapons Table

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nU2Ten4SWLfPrB92PsuJ2xNEevBDc5Rkqr7jsusGUAE/edit#gid=278523881 I'm still trying to understand what I see and in particular what "Power Limited DPS" means. I am not certain but it appears something like the following. It appears most weapons have a power...

    850 DPS according to the chart. You're saying the Glaive carried two of them?

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    Could be they're just not in game. Several months ago I read an analysis and the guy was calling them "the best S3 weapon". Was not a bad analysis. It's on this chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nU2Ten4SWLfPrB92PsuJ2xNEevBDc5Rkqr7jsusGUAE/edit#gid=278523881 If anyone can...

    This was true in Mechwarrior too. In fact, PPC's were just notorious for their ability to miss opponents, and drivers would not even try to hit fast targets with them. Using a fast or slow weapon changes the way you see the battlefield and the way you fight. Why are the Panthers so popular...

    It reminds me of learning to play pool. Once you can aim and shoot you know half the game. The hard half, the part many casual players never even begin to explore, is cue placement or where you leave the cue ball after you shoot, so you have easier shots and can shoot again and again. Same...

    SC appears to be set up very similarly to the way Mechwarrior and before it, Battltech, were designed. In fact many of the weapons are the same. Energy weapons have the benefit that they never run out of ammo, so if you're flying into missions like deep penetration, where you don't know you...

    I think subscribers can fly Sabres for free this month, but you can't put whatever weapon on you like. You have to fly with what they give you, which is what is described on the ships comparison page. Is that right? BTW, I just saw a vid with DanGeesling flying 4 S3's on his Sabre, and it is...

    Can you take a moment please, and tell us what the difference is between flying this radar and the standard radar, and then how it affects your flying? Not just what it looks like in the hud, but how you use the extended ability of the Long-Reach? I am fascinated by the whole EM warfare thing...

    LOL. . .such a great way to wake up gulping coffee and misting the plants when it comes out my nose like that. Yes, by all means. I think they may be highly underrated. Their stats are very different than the 3MA, but they are not technically as different as you might imagine. If when the...

    A wise man in my position--one who has never flown in SC--would not answer this question. There are plenty of experts here. I will however capitalize on my ignorance for once and share an opine that has served me well in similar games. Firepower, speed, agility, range, range of weapons...

    Well you know those Pirate bastards stole them anyway. We ought to recover them and search for their previous owners. Anyone looking for a Cat, a dozen Dragonflies, a few Cutlass and some Bucks, we should go get some. Has anyone taken on the little pirate bands flying around Comm stations...

    Ah. Okay. That makes good sense.

    So the only way to downsize one step and put two weapons is on a turret?
