Fuel prices were hammered about during Evo phase. The official response is that this isn't intentional, it was a side effect of merging several branches of code and the associated systems. Expect it to be corrected and probably quite soon, as the prices are prohibitive. It's not a Cutlass...

Theorycrafting is fun :) @Shadow Reaper does a lot of it, and while the information we have to work with for ships like the Polaris is very incomplete, painting scenarios is a good way to learn the game systems. Latest information on Scanning has three elements: a) Completely passive, good out...

It's another case of "Oh shit, we built this and it's TOO strong". Even though I don't own a Corsair, my opinion is that they should just leave it in and deal with it having the high kill counts. What has actually happened though is a bit more complex. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the...

Level 4: I no longer have a wife/significant other. Actually not recommended in most cases.

Lots of good thoughts here, I appreciate that all of you have kicked in on the discussion. Some of my underlying 'angst' (if you will) from the original post relates to the loss of Todd Papy as Director of the PU. He had a clear idea of how it was intended to work, and an understanding of the...

Definitely Stockholm Syndrome. With regular, powerful doses of buff to the Connie lineup. 2x size 2 --> 1 size 3 shield 2x size 4 + 2 size 5 --> 4x size 5 pilot guns many iterations on handling improvements P-72 buffed for both racing and combat manned turrets NOW BUFFED from 2x size 2 -->...

Erkul's numbers are just for the placeholders that have been used for QA testing (and game capture, advertising, etc). John Crewe himself said that they were looking to up-gun the ship so it would have tools for larger vessels. The torpedoes are going to be expensive and powerful; using them...

I believe you, never did get into Elite even though it's in the collection. But what you are saying is that 90% of the playerbase opted out of whatever PvP looked like in that game. That's a pretty strong statement that it wasn't satisfying to a large portion of the players.

I think you are correct here Boss. I'm not a creative, so there may be other ways to manage or mitigate that are beyond my vision. But what I do well is analyze systems, and the game as-built is not going to reach the goals they claim to be aiming for.

Sharing this without completely endorsing his argument. He is very, very good at the small piece of the game he engages in, and it's not until late in the video that there is an acknowledgement of other gameplay outside of that. However, it is my opinion that he identifies the core problem...

With not one, but TWO P-8s. Hitting with the full FOMO on this one. Which won't keep me from buying it, we are in need of a good DMR in game and I'm not rich on time to farm them. As the package appears in your online hangar, you hear, ever so faintly, a trace of sinister laughter from your...

The ship with the lowest signatures overall is the Sabre Firebird; right now it sets the floor for stealth gameplay. However, none of the ship modules that affect signature have been re-adjusted to that reality yet i.e. a shield is a shield is a shield. A point worth making is that CIG has...

Yep!! It is so consistently bad that I've come to think of it as some kind of weird marketing ploy.

For reasons completely inexplicable in our universe, the ship matrix has never been accurate. Current patch information can be and is mined by the folks who maintain Erkul and Spviewer, with each tool having a slightly different focus. As to long term intent.. who tf knows. So many game...

I'm sorry. Here's a beer 🍺

Ummm.. where are you pulling those numbers from? Erkul. games reports: M50 280 SCM, 620 boosted, 1450 max Peregrine 267 SCM, 654 boosted, 1448 max (spviewer.eu , pulling from the same data, agrees with this and adds that the ship has 30G of forward acceleration on tap) Razor 280 SCM, 620...

It has no weapons; it's a dedicated racing ship. Also, per the release info and Erkul, it has 13 thrusters. 1 main and 12 maneuvering. It's got ridiculous thrust and boost capabilities. So no Interdiction ship or anything else useful beyond a really fast, expensive taxi that you'll look cool...

It's the most favoritist, power crept, really expensive but limited-gameplay, can't effectively pvp and might eventually be useless against armor single seat fighter in the game! What's not to like? I do use the ship for running missions, and another paint option is never a bad idea, but I do...

While I see your point, I have to respectfully disagree with you for this event. It's a popularity contest; the point of it is to engage the audience which is best done by showing the ships they actually like. Also, CIG is already manipulating it behind the scenes to improve the variation in...

Are you joshing us man? It's always had a bed. Other than the handling being jerked around in the various flight models, it's not changed since release. I love the look of the Peregrine, it's a pretty bird that would be fun to fly. But no weapons, as @Mudhawk pointed out, makes it a hard pass...
