    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Ah. . .I forgot about the latest, and much more complex weapons system. That may well be, which would dearly suck. It really depends upon the pipes and they haven't released the piping system yet. Do you even have info on where the power from your reactor is going? Is there a power...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    I don't understand what you'r saying. The Saber has 2S3 fixed and 2S3 Gimbaled. That's 8 S2 slots. If you use all Sledge II's you pull like I,600 power, but they never overheat. There's a question how much ammo you can carry, but that seems secondary to me. Some of the nice things about the...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Has anyone put 8 Sledge's on the Sabre? Does it have enough reactor power for that kind of setup? Has anyone used the Sledge for attacks out at 5-7 km? Can you hit at that distance?

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

    I want to own half a dozen ships but I'm not sure I will. I think everyone ought to have at last one fighter, and it looks like I'll pick a Sabre. I love the Reliant so I'm sure I'll get a Tana. I want a Carrack but there are a lot of them and I don't need to be the captain. I'm happy to...

    Toasted salt and onion, with cream cheese please. No, none of those fishes. . .

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

    Its good to keep in mind though, that a blind man could hit the Star-G by spitting downwind. You can kill that thing with almost any other ship. Probably a Lancer could kill it very easily from 5 km, even if it had the same guns. The Redeemer can still dodge. How well we don't yet know. I...

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

    I work in development of these kinds of radar and communications systems, intended for use in deep space. It is very cool stuff, but CIG is going to be relying upon some game dynamics we don't yet have the technology for. My company is developing that technology now, so you'll see it in the...

    Interesting that they say the system has 7 jump points and the map only shows 5: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15406-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy Also of note this is the home of Anvil, Origin and the Xi'an corporation Gyso which runs CTR refusing stations all...

    Fly the missions. Looks fun and easy to make pesos in little time. Pick up weapons, booze (which you can apparently sell), cigars, etc. And there are apparently a bunch of Easter Eggs already set at GrimHex, waiting for players. Also note, I think I heard the other day that Olisar will be...

    GrimHex

    Just some random thoughts: If like many of the players posting their adventures on youtube, you still are not wearing armor, it is probably best not go to GrimHex. Wear armor. I have seen a PC take a hit from an electric shotgun at point blank range and kill his attacker, because he was...

    Around the 'Verse episode I00 pt.2, they just committed that with 2.5 the Reliant will be flyable. See time index 3M: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpalZlE4FC8

    Yes. There was only vague official word on this, but the one commitment CIG has made to this issue thus far is that it relates to the presence of a bed on your ship. Under what conditions you can log out with the bed, and for how long are TBD, but without a bed you cannot expect your ship to...

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

    Yes, it will be interesting to see what CIG uses for a "life-signs detector". If we'll have the ability to distinguish between various life forms, the only plausible explanation I can think of is an exceedingly sensitive EM scan, meaning you're receiving broadband RF from a highly directional...

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

    It depends how you "find" something. If you're using active radar, you can pick up any object of sufficient size, but you can't tell a rock from a person from a ship except for their size. This will not help you at all if the person is floating amongst asteroids, for example. If you're using...

    Piracy Privateer

    Do you recall the source of this info? I did not get the impression you have from the Lore vids. I got the opposite impression, that CIG intends players reshape the universe through their actions. The entire Outsiders storyline appears to me malleable and begging intervention. Likewise, what...

    No. It concerns the size of the ship or crew and the number of beds or some such but they have yet to make a determination. For now it's good simply to note that you cannot spawn into a Reliant or most fighters because there is no bed, and you will not be safe in it for any amount of time that...

    Wasn't this one of the capabilities originally planned for the Carrack? I recall some ship was suppose to have probe droids to extend it's scan range.
