Last I heard, it is still the plan to do some limited crafting on specific crafting benches, as found in only a few ships including the Carrack, as well as several kinds of facility. IIRC, Grimhex is supposed to contain workbenches in the future. The plan was to allow perks to weapons, etc...

Yes, but it is a necessary precursor to perishable sub-components like sensor buffs, so the earlier we make this switch, the sooner we move to things like replaceable component sensors, which is something many have waited on for years. No, if you'll recall; the original intent was to not insure...

Keep in mind that armor is already partially emulated by the very varied hull point values assigned the ships. When we move to armor, those hull values will be broken down to armor on specific locations that once pierced, allow weapons to damage specific components instead of going into a...

So Disney finally makes an explanation as to why Mando season 3 lacked depth. It's because Dave and Jon were forced to rewrite so much of it to remove Cara Dune from the story. Now that Kathleen Kennedy is out, Dave and Jon have written Cara Dune back into Mando season 4, as well as writing her...

That's it exactly. Dogfighting is dead. Today's IRL combat is to get in range, fire missies and fly away before you opponent can spot you. Fighters don't fight, and they don't actually pass one another anymore. America's most recent air-to-air missiles are gong to make that a thing of the...

Yes, this is what we all signed up for because those who understand physics, know that player interactions would not happen in a playground with an arbitrarily high velocity of the ships. Not only this, but players would be crashing into things like planets just as they do when driving in the...

It's all about choices. Despite most prefer fixed over gimbaled on agile craft, many still use gimbals. It's Burger King--"Have it your way!" It's a broken analogy. You can't use dragsters for daily use. They're designed to hit their heat limits in just a few seconds. After that they go...

My guess is the number of ships players will fly often is just 1-2. They'll decide which activity they enjoy most and do that regularly, with a side distraction. Probably everyone wants to own 1 ship of war, be it a fighter, bomber or even a Reclaimer they fly with a clean up crew--everyone...

I would have been much more impressed if it were loaded down with next level scanning or medical.

It's worth noting that if you plan is for the permanent part of the game, there will no longer be wipes. The question no longer reverts back to what you buy with real cash, but what your fleet should look like. When Beta hits dying will become something to avoid and avoiding it will be more...

Certainly, for locking down fighter traverse across a sector of Vanduul controlled space, there's nothing worse for the creeps than a fast stealth fighter carrying a pair of AD4B. Hit and go tactics. . .run amuck. Kill them. They all deserve to die. Kill and disappear in Vanduul space...

I think we're using the term "feather" differently. What I heard was that the tiny veins that stick out the back can be shot away and not affect flight performance outside atmosphere. Are you saying this is not true?

I don't know. When you say "without a wing" are you talking about shooting off the feathers or the engine? I still can't go on Discord for security reasons--consequences of working in aero/defense. So whatever you can glean and share is appreciated. I don't make the rules.

The Carrack has long been criticized for its sole entryway. I think CIG promised some time ago to provide a fix. I doubt it will come before we see the modules.

I personally favor the Arrow, because it depends upon higher agility, and that suits me. Also, I prefer the Arrow because I believe that when we finally get to running the Sons of Orion storyline, we'll be doing deep incursions into Vanduul space that require some sort of carrier, and that we...

Just a quick question. The meta for combat fighting always seems to be the Gladius. However, the Talon has the same SCM and top speed, same range, more hull, same shield, same weapons damage (except that the Talon's S4s hit out to another km), and if reports are accurate--the Talon accelerates...

View: https://youtu.be/KO_SA8gYUzE Note she starts out with the Gallant set on 3 round burst, and switches to 5 round burst. The former seems much more effective. Later on she is emptying 4 squeezes of 5 rounds into a single target and it barely goes down. I think the recoil must be enough...

Another point to keep in mind for 3.19, it should be the first patch where we’ll be able to swap components in the field. So if you’re flying a medium ship or larger, or a small ship with an actual cabin (300 series), you should for example be able to fly a Civilian A q-drive for max range/speed...

Sorry I missed this and posted a duplicate. I’m on my phone so can’t delete it but I’m sure it will die quickly. I’m personally hoping for two things here. First, that we’ll be able to flip a switch in the cockpit and ships like the 315 will autoload their cargo spaces. It needs to be powerful...
