I didn't say you're ambiguous. I said you're equivocating by using the term "behind" in two different ways. Look, this is a done deal. CIG did this to give us a reason to have people in the turrets, and performing C&C on cap ships. They have to do this to make cap ship combat a real thing...

The asymetrical bulkhead almost looks like it's pointing somewhere. Maybe they're going this route for Crusader in order to thwart people getting lost in the larger ships, the way they do in the Starfarer?

To be fair, Kirk was written as adolescent wish fullfilment. Picard was written much more seriously. Like what captain goes on dangerous away missions, just so he can suck face with green women?

Picard is a better Captain, but Kirk gets the girls. In the broad scheme of things, which do you suppose matters more? Welcome to TEST! Does the new guy buy the beer?

Has anyone flown the new Sledges yet? What are they like?

I didn't mean to count them out. Everyone needs the opportunity to play alone at times. We all need this. The real difference though is going to come in large engagements, with dozens of birds in the sky. Those who have the benefit of skilled C&C are gonna wipe the field against those who do...

Yes, there are differences, but you're equivocatiing. If a pilot rotates their bird to face an opponent that was behind them, that opponent is no longer behind them. This does not negate the need to get behind your opponent. The point is, a Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) or a command channel...

Word on the street: --Large ships handle terrible in atmo, just as should be. --The Reclaimer cannot get off the ground for more than two seconds--sounds broken. --Light fighters are flying their best since 2.6, and a real blast to fly. So maneuvering is both worse in big birds and better in...

This vid is very old. I think we're a long way from seeing Hulls other than the C.

Supposed to be S1,2&3 versions now.

If you're behind someone in a dogfight, and they don't have the situational awareness to know this, then what you end up with is much more like dogfighting than flying turrets. I think this is what CIG is after, and what some of the pvp soloists are complaining about. Now they're vulnerable in...

Keep in mind that after years of tweeks, pvp solo pilots are still jousting, still point and shoot, still nothing like real fighter combat. Because you don't really die when you die, people do not fly like in real combat. It is still after all the changes we've seen, extremely rare for pilots...

For comparison, the Hull C has a Large Q drive, same as the Cat, but hauls about 8X as much. I was very surprised to find the spine down the center of the extended frame is traversable. Nice ship that some say is the largest Hull that can be handled by one person. Same max crew size as the...

Welcome! In case no one has already said, go on Discord and you can find plenty of folks to connect with and crew a Carrack. Why buy before you fly? There are lots of Carrack owners here!

What's new with the missiles?

Agreed, but it does seem to say that we now have the real benefits of a REO, like on the F-14 Tomcat. This is more realistic if it gives a clear advantage to two seaters. Exactly. Who has been up with a Cutty, Vanguard, etc. with someone in the turret to see if the turret gunner can pin...

In the PTU.

I think I explained about this some months ago, but just as a refresher on the whole issue of scout craft: At present what it appears until the EM warfare patch comes, is that EM, and IR sensitivity scale with radar size, and that size scales as a power of 3. So a Medium scans 3 times as well...

You should expect they will cost at least 10,000 times that much in beta. The 100 credits is a placer holder. They're really free right now. The nature of exploration is such that hunting explorers will be problematic, unless you're filling your time with exploring yourself, and are merely an...
