@NaffNaffBobFace What you are talking about is THE fundamental balance issue that CIG faces. Everything else, ship weapons, flight models, legal system, economic simulation, all of it, is just details in answer to this question. Hopefully Todd Papy and the handful of royalty at the top...

Kind of in the same puddle of mud.. got a lot more in than what I use, and coming to the opinion that cutting the small ones in favor of a few really big ones makes quite a bit of sense. As a thought to ponder, many of the medium ships should become quite useful for the solo pilot once NPC...

You are missing my point. Turning off components reduces signatures; it is NOT bespoke stealth gameplay as we used to have. Also, turned off components drop EM; IR behaves very differently and may NEVER get down to those numbers depending on the ship's engines. And the detection algorithm will...

A topic still near and dear to my cold, dark, low-signature heart.. Before all the components were homogenized by Yogi's team in their impossible quest to achieve some semblance of balance in combat, "stealth" had meaning. It was an actual gameplay style with tradeoffs against military...

That'll be movie night, for inspiration. Along with Blues Brothers.

BMM and Kraken will not be the only marketplace ships. It's been stated several times now that a small food cart is on the list, and it's a sure bet there will be at least one in between. It has also been said that an owner of one of these ships will be able to hire NPC's as shopkeepers...

Short answer is yes, and others have stated reasons. Longer answer is that ALL the older ships are said to be eventually brought up to parity. If what you are actually asking (likely, methinks!) is if the Connies are going to be improved upon, as we've seen with other ships. My opinion is...

For about a year I tried to play EvE on a Hughes satellite link, 2013/14 timeframe. Those are geosynchronous orbit, and the lag was epic, sometimes over 1 second. Starlink offers some interesting possibilities if you have a situation where the dish can see the sky. Jeff Gerling and a few...

Can't disagree, it's utility as a small load cargo runner is quite high. If that happens to be illicit goods, who's to know? Having said that, I believe that the 'stealth' characteristics are part of CIG's ship balancing act and not specifically focused toward smuggling. I.E. it can find...

As someone who does fly the 315p quite often, I'll endorse it as a jack-of-all-trades.. or maybe a 10-of-all-trades, because it decidedly lacks damage output compared to most other ships near it's size. 2 size 3 guns can certainly do the job, albeit slower than light fighters or even other...

@Montoya Boss, not off to a good start with the predictions so far ; remind me to not buy crypto from you 😄

Thinking it might be a light version of 2021. With no keynote to hold peoples attention, it will have to stand on the merits of the other presentations or whatever marketing hooks they hang out there. @JakeAcappella made some statements about it at the PNW Bar Citizen; Not to expect much from...

"Actually some advice on that, it was originally a vanguard pledge that I ccud to a reclaimer, if I melt it can I use the associated store credits to buyback the vanguard pledge with lti, which is at least mostly soloable?" Yes, you can melt it and use your buyback token to immediately restore...

As a former.. member.. of ADI, I endorse this message.

Confirmed!! Banu Merchantman weaponless .. ;)

I have a Gladius to Nova Tonk available in buyback $30. Might be more than you are looking to spend.

You're good on this then? I have two in buyback.

I want free poutine... Happy 4th everyone, where ever you happen to be parking your ass and/or drinking your beer this weekend. I was married to a Canadian for near 20 years, lived in the UK for a few, and have done the expat thing enough to be satisfied that the world is in fact, round. One...

That is an efficient brand. Close enough.
