You should keep in mind that the AI is being designed such that there will be three different skill levels for NPC gunners, that the least of these should be more effective than AI blades, and the best NPC gunners should be less effective than PCs. So if the gun is consequential at all, you'll...

I don't think he said that exactly, but he did wear himself out expecting stuff like salvage to release on time. To be fair, marking two weeks work to get moist eyes does not ingratiate the masses nor give confidence over why salvage and refueling are so crazy late. Can't blame Morph for...

That is unfortunate, but since missiles and torps are used at distances greater than guns, perhaps it does not matter that much. Ballista would be vulnerable to fighters, but the fighters are very vulnerable to the Carrack manned turrets. What is "Terada"?

Wow. Great vid. Thanks for this. It actually appears there is room for a pair of Ballista side by side on top, though I'm uncertain whether you could enter the one on the starboard side or if the door ramp would not function. Certainly worth investigation. S7 torps are nasty, as are the S5...

Yes well, again to remind, I have never seen a Ballista atop a Carrack. I have mentioned this before, because even just one added to the firepower of a Carrack is a game changer, but I don't own a Carrack and in the months since I made the observation, I'm still not aware of anyone having done...

Yeah, I think we're just not connecting here. To be more clear, we're talking about leaving the Carrack hangar bay doors closed and parking on top of them. Players have found that you can do this with at least three ships (Arrows) at a time and the local gravity of the Carrack will hold them...

Look at it again and think about it. Both positions place the missiles facing directly forward along the Carrack's centerline. They could not be more centrally located. I think you must think I'm describing something other than what I'm thinking. What is not obvious is how to get a Ballista...

The remarkable thing about the Carrack that is not obvious at first glance is that several ships can be perched atop the closed hangar bay and will stay put during flight. For instance, three Arrows can be placed up there, turning the Carrack into a small carrier. There are lots of great vids...

https://starcitizen.tools/Category:Personal_armor https://starcitizen.tools/ADP Simplest to start is all Clarke Defense systems: Medium or heavy helmet, Heavy torso, Medium arms and Light legs. It is never wise to go stronger than light legs as they will slow you down and wear you out. Best...

Honorable Mention: I am still fascinated by the possibilities of the Carrack with 2 Ballista's added. One sitting atop the hangar bay, and one slid half way into the vehicle bay gives 4X Hellion VII torps is 400k+ alpha strike damage, plus 4X4 Scimitar V is 150k+ on each of 4 strikes. If when...

Even after my last disappointing analysis, I am still recommending that those who love this consider operating a Liberator and allowing players to bring 3 Eclipse, 12 M50 and 1 Lancer MIS and work as a strike group. If you really want to carry ships, that is 18 ships flying off your Lib, all...

Necro wizard!

Ask around for the combat flight training. TEST has some real pro mentors that can help you get on top of your game. Marcsand2 has just posted up about combat flight training this Friday. FYI, he has been flying combat a couple hours a day almost every day for more than half decade. There are...

The Idris is a Frigate. Next step smaller is the Polaris which is a Corvette. Next step smaller is the Perseus which is technically a gunboat. In WWII parlance it would be called a destroyer or "tin can", intended to hunt submarines. In today's parlance it would be called a "Missleboat"...

Yes well the question is what did CIG mean in this instance by the word "abilities"? This could be interpreted more than one way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. My memory, which is not perfect; is that they were specific that the original BUKs did not change the armor nor reactor...

Each of the Vanguard frames has a single advantage over the others, regardless of what you put in with the BUK/module. IIRC, the Warden has speed, the Hoplite has hull points, the Harbinger has an S3 turret and the Sentinel has stealth. Right now the Sentinel stats are fubar but one supposes...

To be clear, the Vanguard has never had a buff. The difference in survivability of the Sentinal is all because of the EMP. Years ago Vanguards were easy to take down if you got really close and optimized against their poor turn rates. Now with the EMP, savvy pilots won't bull rush a Sentinel...

5 fixed hits the target so no reason to go smaller. Right now cannons do seem to be the better choice as noted above, but weapon stats are all nerfed and deliberately screwy, and you should not expect any of them to stay as is. CIG is messing with all the stats on a daily basis, so even...

The stealth on the Sentinel seems to be temporarily fubar, so it is not really wise to optimize around it at present despite how much you may want to launch missiles out of the inky black. Despite this I always choose the Eclipse reactors as they appear to be plenty of power. No word on...
