    Most interesting locations?

    Ghost Hollow 1) The AI is super stupid here. The NPCs can't see a ship landing 70 meters away, and allow you to walk up on them from behind even in medium armor. Normally I would recommend a suppressor, but the targets are so spread out that there is no discernable benefit. Weapon reports only...

    Behold the Beast

    I suspect it will be at least as drifty through the turns as the Sabre, and perhaps as much as the Vanguard, but the shield refresh should be way past either. I think CIG will want to make it the go-to just because they'll sell more SQ42 that way. It won't surprise me if it becomes the meta...

    Behold the Beast

    Don't know why the shields are locked down, but look at how many there are! https://www.erkul.games/loadout/7dI8zPTY

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    I'm not disparaging anyone. I literally do not understand the purpose behind roleplaying a job. I have a job. I do have a 5e character who is a scribe and cartographer, and makes serious bank during down time scribing 1st level scrolls with metamagics included. Thing is, you don't actually...

    Hurricane Ian

    News is saying 90-95% of Ft Meyers was destroyed. The images are horrid.

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    I don't think he's talking about standard economy. He's noting that in a careless iteration of big bounty offerings for players, the targets themselves can cash in by having their friends off them with a single shot to the head, and later collect the bounty themselves. Same trouble as with...

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    I think officially, CIGs response to mass murderers is going to be bounties so large that it pays for teams of bounty hunters to chase them. Griefers they will punt, but horrific outlaws of great skill are intended. If Avenger_One earns a multi-million aUEC bounty, you can rest assured that a...

    Unreal 5

    I'm the farthest thing from an expert in judging the look of any game, as I just haven't played enough of them. This is however, the first time I've had trouble identifying whether the set is real or not. I consider this impressive. Gotta have something to do with the lighting, I guess...

    covert military ops

    Good vid. Absolutely, the attack on the pipeline is a consequence of the war in Ukraine. There aren't that many players that could be responsible. Certainly no one believes our Geriatric Puppet could be responsible. He can't even tie his shoes. The Finns would never do this--their...

    covert military ops

    I do not personally buy the pipe robot gone awry, nor accident of any kind theories. Both parallel pipes broke at once. Yeah, submarine seems possible to me. Anyone with torpedoes in the Baltic could have done this. I'm pretty sure that rules the US out, and leans toward a Russian false...

    covert military ops

    View: https://youtu.be/ShXmPA21j-E This is the best analysis you're likely to find in the coming weeks, until the pipes can be inspected. Right now, "test gas" which is also Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is leaking from the open pipes, and it will be 2-3 weeks before they can be inspected...

    Pyro coming in 2023? Where's my Liberator?

    No mention if the tractors will be released for tasks other than Salvage? It will suck if CIG puts them on the Vulture and Reclaimer, but not on the haulers that have them like the Cutty, and 315P. I thin they're supposed to aid in cargo loading and unloading speed.

    F*ck Cancer. A tribute to those we've lost.

    Deepest condolences, buddy. Lost my Mom 4 years ago and it still stings.

    Salvage Division name?

    I'm not sure players doing salvage will benefit from grouping much past the size of a Reclaimer crew. I think players in the Sons of Orion storyline will want to have such crews they're accustomed to working with, and provide them with protection as they strip the hulls of Vanduul ships...

    Best Stealth Transport

    It used to be S tier in their evaluations, but they both moved it down to A tier when its EMP was nerfed in 3.17. Avenger_One was all like "thank God" because he hated that there was a ship where an average pilot could compete with him in an S tier dog fighter. Well, there is no longer. BTW...

    Best Stealth Transport

    Well no, ship cross section does not matter unless your opponent pings. Stealth was not disabled. The stealth capabilities of specific ships were disabled, especially as with the Sentinel, but the Eclipse works much the same way as it always has. It has tiny signatures that are half that when...

    Best Stealth Transport

    Even full stealth ships like the Eclipse will benefit greatly by turning off their shields and weapons but larger ships have other concerns. As mentioned previously, there are no S3 stealth components. If you want to sneak you're stuck with ships using S1 and S2 reactors and coolers. The...

    Best Stealth Transport

    At present, the best stealth transport is the 400i. Much has changed since this thread prior to 3.14, and ships like the MSR, Connie, etc. had their EM sigs boosted so high they'll never function as stealth ships. The 400i however has a tiny sig.
