If it's done right, it'll be fewer servers, not more. If you recall for the longest time we were stuck at 50 players per server. That's because everything the game needed to play was on that server. When a player loaded in, all the stuff that player owned became an entity on that server, and...

@Lorddarthvik You having a bad day mon? As someone who plays most every day in the roughest patches that are publically released, I have to take your post as rhetorical rather than factual. Server meshing as a concept isn't new at all. The way that CIG intends and NEEDS for it to work IS new...

Hey mon.. Erkul, Cornerstone, spviewer.eu and other websites use datamining tools that pick out the desired information from the patch .pak files. The accuracy of what they display depends on how well the tool and user do the mining. It is worth pointing out that Erkul often has errors, as...

This. The ship is WAYYYYY too far from being done to spend any energy getting worked up about the placeholders being put in for QA testing. John Crewe himself stated that they were looking at the idea of upgunning it to have more ship-to-ship options than just the torpedoes. Because those...

The Medivac Light can be gifted, but you'll need to find someone willing to give theirs up as we only received one each. It was a dead simple thing to get so.. ?

Scramble for the outer rim in a desperate race for survival. Remember, the Romans lost.

(written by Joss Whedon, performed by Sonny Rhodes) Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, Tell them I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me...

Yes. Local product, unfiltered and (for me at least) had to ask specifically. A friend there introduced me to it at a pub in Yeovil which was a couple blocks from the house. The barkeep seemed to find a Yank asking for it most amusing, but he always smiled when bringing the mug 🍺.

If you aren't drinking proper scrumpy from Somerset county then you've got a treat waiting. Absolutely fell in love with that stuff while living over there.

@NaffNaffBobFace The Broadsword and Tarantulas are back to being very good choices. Overall TTK is much higher due to a number of factors that CIG has adjusted but Ballistic Cannon are quite good at winning fights again. There is a very niche Strife build which is worth having some fun with...

Until you actually use them. Repeaters of any kind simply can't keep up with the TTK of the cannons in this patch. Like a lot of folks, I've settled into using the Omnisky's on daily driver ships for their overall balance of speed, accuracy, alpha and power efficiency. A notable exception is...

Chat logs are logs. The real question isn't if, it's for how long they want to keep them. Do you remember back a while ago when CIG announced that they were adapting the A.I. in the game to mimic the behaviors of skilled PvP pilots? It's trivial to capture every input that a player puts into...

Data. Lots of data. PTU runs like it does because there is a metric ton of analytic code running which is dramatically reduced for Live. I have it on very, very, very good authority that they can recreate the game session of any player that catches their interest.

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Best part about people being greedy enough to exploit now is that it has nothing but positive impact in the long run. To paraphrase Lord Farquad "Some of you may be banned, but that is a price I am willing to pay".

CS refers to physical cross section, what a traditional radar pulse would bounce off of or an optical system would observe. For IR and EM the subroutines are pretty much in place, visible and adjustable by player choices. I'll completely agree that there are lots of weirdness in the values if...

During a past show it was put out that the CS values were created by doing a simple 'voxelization' of the ship's profile. It is supposedly a dynamic value now, and 'should' represent physical size in the game. Since we can't see that value or how it's calculated experimentation is about the only...

Shadow, https://www.spviewer.eu/ - datamine of values, goes much deeper than erkul but is not a fitting tool. https://doctrine.substack.com - dont know if this guys thoughts are worthwhile yet; currently on a 'free subscription'. - This person made a clumsy video on the topic. View...

While there can be no doubt that the concept of LTI has been weaponized by CIG Marketing, it will still be a cost avoidance in game especially for those with larger ships/lots of ships. I'm happy to focus on cash-purchased ships having LTI, no matter how that eventually affects game mechanics...

I agree with you that the Combined Arms concept is the path they are on; we know that they have or have had military advisors in the studios helping them concept the gameplay and interactions. For an MMO that wants to be around for a long time after release, the depth this would bring if done...

Yeah, no. As of my response you joined 22 minutes ago, and immediately post looking for handouts with a question that doesn't make sense. If you're legit, spend some time in the Discord and learn how the game works. We're a friendly bunch :)
