I want to agree and in general I do, but it is certainly an oversimplification that they reset all the weapons ranges and speeds as one of just two. That's FUBAR, but they did say this is the beginning of many changes and they will go back and supply the rich diversity we're used to. Yeah...

I'm happy you still have fun activities to pursue. Lets hope the weapons nerf is very short lived. It does sound like CIG anticipated their oversimplification would need quick remedy. Just remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Shoot CIG a note. They've asked for feedback. That may be...

Someone needs to talk with them about better flair. They could do a whole series of books with crazy names, kitchen items, potted plants, a thousand other things than these stupid skins for ships most people will not ever want to fly.

Welcome!

Lets hope you're right and they reclaim the terrific diversity of choice the players used to have. I always look for something unusual that offers some advantage I can leverage in game. If they make all the weapons the same range, speed, etc., there's no way to create an unusual combo. Kinda...

My bad. I was still in old view on erkul when I thought I was in new view. I think the reason I'm experiencing a lot of anger here, is that I'm generally something of a crack sniper shot and CIG has removed that dynamic from combat. You can't snipe with a weapons that move 700m/s and no...

Given several of the S5 have speed to target amongst the highest, it's hard to understand in what sense that is true. Any ideas? Do they plan to nerf all S5 and above guns to hit? I am trying so hard not to be angry about the changes and give them a fair chance, but it's getting harder and...

That's a good argument for all large ship turrets to have a minimum of S5 turret guns. Still can't. Maybe my point above wasn't clear. I think if you want to motivate players to team up to fly heavy fighters, those fighters have to provide some sort of clear advantage over two small or medium...

Okay so, given the new numbers for weapons, anyone here chime in. Why would you choose to fly any fighter other than the Vanduul Glaive stealthed or not, when its S5 weapons hit at much greater distance than any other fighters with much more power, and you can ram things to cut them in half...

What is that at time index 3:52? View: https://youtu.be/8RlaGOBred4 I thought it was a model of an Ares, but the thing on top makes it look like a personal watercraft. Is this a Crusader grav bike?

Vanguard can crew three though. I don't think the issue is that the Vanguard is not survivable with just one player. I think the real issue is that the REO has to provide more utility than a second pilot in a second ship. What CIG is not taking to account is that in SC, there is an unlimited...

AWD is not faster on anything except a slick surface. Turning the car depends upon the static coefficient of friction between the tire and the road. That is not changed by powering the wheel. Powering the wheel alters the amount of longitudinal force the wheels can put on the road (and...

It feel you man, but I think it's way too early to tell how this will all end up. They nerfed all ships when they made it so you can operate only guns or missiles, and that is reason to have two man teams, but I think what CIG doesn't get is that such coercion is going to backfire just like...

I think Branson missed his opportunity by taking 17 years to get to space. Had he got there ten years ago he would have recouped his investment long ago. Now he has to compete with Blue Origin and SpaceX both of whom are going orbital, so not just some 4 minute adventure--the real thing...

Actually it doesn't. AWD Lambos are markedly slower than read drive. AWD doesn't help much on high friction surfaces like tracks, which is why few race cars are AWD. Theoretically, if you have a car with unlimited HP, then distributing that HP across all wheels would help, but even cars with...

I'm not seeing a range difference between ballistics over energy. Still seems laser cannons are the range champs, though the ATVS got a significant boost.

All true but there is one other part to the equation. When you power all four wheels you essentially double the power losses in the drive system, which are actually much higher than most people realize. I once watched a contest between five what were then supercars--each up around 600 hp. The...

I'm still thinking of going deskless. The more I learn about assigning stuff to button boxes, the less I think I'll ever need a full sized keyboard, and without that, I don't see the need for a desk. This is the first gaming chair to make me think twice about using a recliner. View...

My condolences not only for your loss, but your situation. My EX fiance's family tried to stick me with their family hobby by "giving" me an old Corsair they wanted me to restore. It had rotted in the driveway for many years and was not worth restoring, but at one time the family owned five of...
