    Redeemer vs Warden - thoughts?

    @Bambooza @vahadar agreed, this ship is BEASTLY I don't know how it will be adjusted, but do expect something to change. @Pippen if you can't grab one for yourself, grab one of us.. the fun meter pegs in this ship! EDIT: To your original question, the Warden, or any Vanguard, with the AD5B...

    Opinions: 400i vs DUR

    A quick point on the MSR - John Crewe has stated that the scanning array is *not* equivalent to that of the Aquila or DUR, intended for 'local' scanning only. Of course we lack any context for what those words mean to CIG... I do recall one of the senior game engineers talking about local...

    Opinions: 400i vs DUR

    The honest answer to your question is that we can't answer it with facts yet. Freelancers were stated long ago to be the largest ship that would fit through a small wormhole. But during the hype around the MSR, it was stated they expect that to fit thru any wormhole that the Freelancer will...

    The Origin 400i

    EDIT: PTU 7822709 I think the medium components must be in the middle of a balance pass on PTU. There was no measurable difference in this ship. Neither of Erkul's calculators match these numbers. Stock except for Hemera QTD: EM 11649 IR 11150 With Nightfall coolers and Eclipse reactors: EM...

    The Origin 400i

    He does make a few good points, but given his historic bias against anything Origin and for anything Drake, worth taking with a grain or two of salt. I usually enjoy Minion's thought process, but this is an area where he falls on his face occasionally. He does here when trying to equivocate...

    Hercules A2 Bomber - Bombing Quick Tips

    You are not wrong, but those laws a) are in active development b) don't apply everywhere. And the entire reason for existence of a Point Defense turret is near-instantaneous response once a threat is identified. In 'lawful' monitored space, the act of releasing the bomb could easily be the...

    Hercules A2 Bomber - Bombing Quick Tips

    I am going to suggest that right now, bombing is not relevant. Players own no structures; that gameplay is a long way off, allowing for plenty of time for counters to be brought into the game. As someone who has used the A2, it's not all that. To select a target on the ground with any accuracy...

    Hercules A2 Bomber - Bombing Quick Tips

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I completely agree with you except on one part of your statement. Having spoken to Sarah McCulloch after the release of the C8X, I know she put a SILLY amount of effort into it. It wasn't an open concept; the list of constraints and goals she had to work with was huge. Not the least of which was...

    Best Jailbreak Ride?

    Shadow I think you might be taking this too seriously.. Having said that, the Carrack actually makes quite a bit of sense as there is a vehicle which can be stolen to assist in the escape that prolongs your lifespan on the surface. Drive out, and up into the waiting garage.

    Ship Weapon choices in the Era of capacitors (patch 3.14 and beyond)

    Happy to hear that my mental meanderings have been helpful :) There are more iterations to come; while the community response seems to have been mostly positive, there's been nothing yet on how CIG views the results thus far. So waiting it out is probably wise. (Full-ish disclosure - these...

    Where were you on 9/11?

    I don't have an answer for you. I worked several projects in Kabul over 2013 and 2014; of the guys and gals I worked with only a few got out before the collapse and I've only heard of 2 making it out in the aftermath.

    Where were you on 9/11?

    I was still on active duty at NAS Lemoore. The family's morning routine didn't include TV, so we found out when a buddy called on the phone, yelling for us to turn it on, turn it on! Like many, we watched the second hit, and the collapse. One thing that stands out in the days afterward, were...

    Ship Weapon choices in the Era of capacitors (patch 3.14 and beyond)

    Correct sir, take another drink! This is NOT balance, this is rebuilding the foundations so a balance can be worked toward. I can see a bit of the genius on the Vehicle Experience Team coming through, and am impressed.

    Ship Weapon choices in the Era of capacitors (patch 3.14 and beyond)

    As @Zookajoe said, the dev page for Erkul. Usually the link is shown at the bottom if you reload the regular page. Turrets have their own capacitor, save for a couple of ships like the Superhornet (and that's probably a bug). They do not combine with what is available to the pilot. Not...

    Ship Weapon choices in the Era of capacitors (patch 3.14 and beyond)

    3.14 did what every good pie should do, it teases your senses for a while then hits you right where you live… (for those of us who eat, anyway). The Tier 0 implementation of Capacitor gameplay, along with a few other key changes in this patch, has accomplished several the goals that the Vehicle...

    Dual Virpil Constellation Alphas

    @vahadar Using the WarBRD bases, on Foxx mounts. Very, very happy with this setup overall.

    Dual Virpil Constellation Alphas

    As @JackalDark stated.. I've got a pair of these running dual stick and have absolutely no problem with them. Protip - you can name each stick in the Virpil software and Windows will stop confusing/swapping them at random. There is the oft-missed step of running the Windows calibration as...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    One day into this, and looking at the TOP tab on the voting website.. the MSR has already won. Hands down, it is sending everybody else home. Carrack is doing well, no surprise. Sabre Raven has an early start too.. one of the best looking ships in the game, and 'Most Likely' to have a...
