I think official word on this is still they will sell it to no one who hasn't unlocked it in Sq42 first. So I can't see any way anyone is going to get their hands on it for some time.

This looks great, but ceertainly needs a lot more time to digest. I would note though, that to be useful nearly everyone at TEST needs to be on this service. To accomplish that you'd need to essentially close down Discord 9after sufficient warnings), warn people off spectrum, and close this...

I am curious what others can tell me about Q travel. When the drive spools, it emits about 10X the EM so will be easier to spot. What I'm curious about is if it emits this much higher level of EM when it reenters normal space. Does it generate an EM spike at point of reentering normal travel?

2nd iteration (removes jump between 1st and 2nd salvo) Layout: Q Drive: SparkFire, Range 459, Calibrate 10 s, Spool 6 s, cooldown 10 s (26 s cycle, ships rotate 80*/s in the first (onto target) and last (toward destination jump) second of each cycle) Reactors: 2X Eclipse Coolers: Primary: 1...

There are two main calculators each of which I use often, and each with its own limitations. The Hardpoint calculator generally has the more detailed information. So for example, you can quickly click on a reactor or cooler and see all the options, and look at the details of how much EM each of...

I think with fighters that need to jockey for close position in a dogfight it makes less sense, and remember the 26 second cycle time. That's the fastest medium drive. The others are mostly 33 seconds, so really not going to help much in a dogfight. Micro-jumping is best used for bombers or...

At the top of the original post in this thread, I noted the calibration, spool and cooldown times of one particular drive. It has a 26 second cycle, and the guy was microjumping a fraction of a second at a time. BTW, this is why I have said many times that a micro-jump calculator needs to be...

What is the minimum you can jump? I watched a guy in an Eclipse jump 4 times in 2 minutes, looked like he was only in quantum for a second or two each time. In what sense can you not jump just 10 km? Is just not that precise? Yes, I know how stealth works, and how it will work.

~placeholder so I don't lose my notes~ Layout: Q Drive: SparkFire, Range 459, Calibrate 10 s, Spool 6 s, cooldown 10 s (26 s cycle, ships rotate 80*/s in the first (onto target) and last (toward destination jump) second of each cycle) Reactors: 2X Eclipse Coolers: 2X Nightfall Guns: 6 X CVSA...

Yeah, but we're talking about battle. There's no point in shooting the bad guys if all you want to do is irritate them and give them a sunburn. If that's all you're after, just use harsh language. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries" or some such.

I don't think you can kill a person with a distortion weapon. If the Lightstrike VI is an S6 weapon that would explain a lot! It is listed in Hardpoint as an S1 weapon. Given that, I think I would mix and match the Yellowjacket and Havoc, for the same reason--kills all kinds of targets fast...

You can set up triggers however you like, but the pips will land together given terrestrial ranges. Most targets will be 0.1 km away or less. I like the notion of matching because the ballistics will slaughter foot soldiers and the laser can kill shields and vehicles, and can't run out of...

So I'm toying with the calculators with the Ursa Rover. Never done this before. Can't really modify anything but the guns yet, but looking at vehicle class guns is very interesting. Against a hard target like another rover, you'd like the Lightstrike VI. Weird that it does so much damage...

Yeah. I didn't want to complicate the issue too much with details especially since erkul doesn't post weapon temps and Hardpoint hasn't listed the Prowler and its new weapons yet. But to that point: The Deadbolts do crappy damage. If you want the deep hull penetration of cannons the C-778 is...

Some great test footage: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoEyYPpFrmM&t=329s Observations: 1) The ship keeps warning of overheating. Though the warning is that the engines are too hot, IIUC the entire ship uses the same heat budget and it is the peculiar weapons aboard that are making...

I have to say I love this ship, and the vids of it in combat say it can manage as well as a Vanguard. However, if you intend to do what this ship is designed for, drop a lot of marines for FPS play; I would point out that the Sentinel frame combined with the Hoplite package is a better choice...

Very nice review. Beautiful ship! Reminds instantly of the MV-22 Osprey, which a buddy of mine tels be is a real kick to fly. I will own that I am disappointed that they didn't deliver on the components room. We were told there was going to be something special there, and I was hoping for a...

Did you know about this time delay? View: https://youtu.be/qodSZ8JNcLA

Do you get what the ability to quickly QDrive jump again and again yields to the player? This is a huge big deal on the battlefield and even affects what you enable during stealth. Pardon me, but WTF people don’t get this?

Thats what I’m asking. Can you do that?
