    Qualifying for Positions

    Any way a player gains a badge of approval that says to those who don't know them that they're competent at a given task would be fine. If you're test averse, methinks TEST is the wrong place for you (pun intended) but what I'm describing is completely voluntary. If any given player doesn't...

    Ship and Pilot: Quantum Drive fuel Curves

    If you go to erkul, each time you place a drive into a ship it gives you your range, based upon the tankage of that ship, and travel times to three locations based upon the speed--very useful specs.

    Qualifying for Positions

    I'm not familiar with the skill system for players either. I do recall there will be three? levels of skill for NPCs you can hire, and you pay more for them depending upon their skill set. The point behind SC seems to me the characters don't have skills, but rather the players do. You either...

    Qualifying for Positions

    If you can walk away, it is success! Seriously, I think if there were 30 kinds of positions to qualify for, I'd train in 20 of them. I'm one of the few looking forward to crewing the ships of others. The Jav ain't worth a thing without a good crew.

    State of the Squadron 45!

    If you're not having a reaction to beer you're not doing it right. The way to get this worked out is to drink much more of it. Sooner or later you'll get a proper reaction.

    Qualifying for Positions

    The recent release of the Nova had me thinking (rare though it is) that wouldn't it be great to develop a qualification system, where players could apply for training and pass some sort of test that says to others who would hire them, that they know what's involved in any particular position...

    Tonks a lot!

    Could be it's going through rapid update. What I see on erkul is the option for each of the two missile launchers to carry 1S6, 2S5, 4S4 or 8S3. 16 missiles with range past that carried by most fighters is a serious handful. The numbers on the Slayer ballistic cannon are silly--about 35X that...

    Tonks a lot!

    From his analysis it sounds like you really need to fill all three seats in at least one tank out of three. MAYBE a skillful commander can command three tanks if all his drivers are listening carefully, but I would not want to be in a tank without the 360* situational awareness. It's certainly...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    I used to believe that, and then they gave the Valkyrie cargo plates. So now it carries more guns, more troops, and more cargo than the ship they told us broke the need for other ships. I no longer believe that explanation. It makes no sense to me. I think it really matters who whines loudly...

    So what do you want to wear when piloting? On the left is my standard combat build, and on the right, what I wear when in the pilot's seat and can't wear Heavy. I'm very surprised to find I can wear medium torso and carry a shotgun, which is about all I need if I have to go search the ship for...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    It not only had rear cargo capacity, it had it's own dedicated cargo winch that ran down the ventral side of the tail. You can see it in this animation, time index 2:35: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTE_nJWiU4w My issue is that when CIG decided to tweek it, they broke their own...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    Someone glitched into the Redeemer interior. Looks FUBAR to me. The new interior has no room for cargo I can see, no cargo loader, no upper deck with the galley, and seems mostly wasted space. Very disappointing. They should have just left the thing alone. Pick it up at time index 1:40...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    Tour of the Javelin. My take: I like that it looks dirty and lived in, so long as you can order bots to clean it up. The hand smudges all over make it look lived in. I do not understand the reason for 15 turrets each with a pair of S7 guns for larger ships, and a pair of S5 guns...

    Looks like New Zealand to me. Hope they don't wake up Smaug.

    FPS 3.12 Calculator

    This is a .95 build for light infantry: Note to get this kind of movement, you can still wear medium armor, but you lose a grenade, your side arm, your multi-tool (can't cut doors) and you're down from 480 to 360 rounds for the Gallant. That's a good trade off for twitchy players who can...

    FPS 3.12 Calculator

    The calculator now has room for two buildouts to look at and compare, left and right. In this comparison, the combat build on the left moves at 0.9 speed because of the weight it's carrying and the bottom third of the screen explains some of the consequences of that such as actual move rate and...
