I would respectfully suggest you check your bird's stats more carefully. I think it is likely it is the absence of a real testing ground that you are not seeing the bigger picture. If Hardpoint is correct (and so far it has never been shown to be wrong--they're doing a good job), the stock...

Yeah. I agree. Google could decide to do it for SC though. With 14 million players and the number will rise, would sell lots of VR sets.

I will respectfully disagree. I think we're headed there and Google has a vested interest to create this. We've had motion sensing keyboards and such for over a decade. We can detect tiny movements of thumbs and fingers holding VR sticks, so there is very little to stop this from happening...

Great post! Just a few thoughts to consider: 1) Personal shields are not yet in game, but when they are, they are supposed to guard against energy but not ballistic. 2) The size weapon matters most, and what weapons you can carry depend upon the type armor you are wearing. For close combat...

Is anyone flying the Sabre with 4 ballistics (Mantis 220), 3 FR-66 shields and just the IonBurst reactor? If so, are you getting better stealth with the shields down (highwayman) and do you have enough power? Asking for a friend. Anyone want to recommend Sabre loadouts?

Someone here was complaining of motions sickness last week. I wonder if this was the cause.

So what does it take to replace the SC twin sticks with virtual images of sticks so you can fly a ship without a physical interface past the Quest? Are we just waiting for someone to write an app that allows different kinds of stick setups, and once that happens you'll see your controls in VR?

You're thinking of a black hole. A stargate, traversable wormhole or as physcists call it, an "Absurdly Benign Wormhole" doesn't include a singularity. It uses a Jupiter mass of negative matter to hold the throat open...

The Polaris can launch Arrestor III missiles, and we may see Arrestor 10 torps. Certainly it can mount one big-ass distortion cannon on the chin. So I doubt am EMP bird is necessary. Using a cannon is the cheapest solution. I think though given my choice, I'd still want to drop ships direct...

Okay so let's suppose you want a capital class mining rig, and you're just sure given the opportunity, the Vanduul could be persuaded to give you one of their Drillers. So you go and set up between Caliban and Orion, and you find a place where ships quantum through regularly. Since you know the...

Okay so, whole new game. . .I gotta say I agree with many of the concerns about this, but I think if managed right, this is going to be terrific! Looks like it might fit in the Polaris bay. . .hmm.

Yup. I still want to know if it can swallow small fighters whole, and what happens if they then turn their weapson on the insides ot the Reclaimer. Seems there ought to be some way to mount some kind of distortion weapon inside the Reclaimer bay to neutralize a fighter and blow the cockpit...

My guess is CIG is fully aware of how things have gone in Eve. I'd bet many of them have played. If the risk is high, then few will bite, and fewer pirates will wait, and it may all turn into a nice dynamic. If only the rare player will haul outside UEE space, and only the rare pirates will wait...

I'm wondering how likely it is the Mantis sports a pair of S6 mounts and room for a boarding party. Yeah, CIG always wants to see cooperative gameplay, but if I were designing an interdictor, I'd want those elements along. A pair of S6 Condemnation Distortion Scatterguns are still listed as...

I don't see how we can guess a size for the thing, but I would not guess an interdiction generator would fit on a smallish bird. I would expect this to be at least the size of a Nautilus. The whole notion of dropping someone from quantum into a minefield does have an an appeal. I am of course...

That's a SW Marauder class corvette.

Well, if it's bigger. . .

A heavy fighter or fighter-bomber with side-by-side seating maybe?

If there weren't already a Drake Vulture, that kind of ship would be my guess. I think the Vulture is a very cool idea and prefer that over a lot of other vocations, but I don't think the Vulture was very popular on release and I can't imagine CIG adding to that area of the game when it isn't...

Well said.
