Thanks so much! All of this helps enormously. One thing the calculator points out in excruciating detail is how many people are making vids with very sorry loadouts. I see many people running missions with 4 weapons. For the same reason soldiers carry one weapon, you really ought to try to...

Wow, this is huge: FPS Data 3.5.0 Thanks so much for this. Now it is obvious that you do not want to carry things like pistols. BTW, there are great reasons soldiers do not carry pistols or "back up weapons". They carry secondary weapons for special purposes. Very cool speed calculator at...

Cool but if you can board it, why not take it? The trouble with boarding Vanduul ships is they have a self destruct, so you need to disable that in short order, or take control of the bridge first thing. Will be interesting to see if we can use breeching charges on the bridge and enter...

Sounds like he must drink a lot. Maybe we should invite him to TEST.

Yeah. Killing a Kingship is going to be very difficult, especially when you recall that there will be strict limits as to how many ships can enter an instance. Manning the big ships makes good sense, but the level of player cooperation for such a thing will probably make that relatively rare...

Regardless of what happens with NPCs, I think you'll be able to man all those at once. If you get involved in the Sons of Orion storyline, there will always be Vanduul targets to hit. I think here at TEST you'd find a long list of folks who would enjoy manning all those ships and more on...

I have been wondering about using them on the Hoplite as a boarding platform. The Arrester IIIs look like they will be great for single seat small ships, but the shields on medium class and above are so powerful now that if all 8 of the Arresters that a Hoplite can carry were to hit say, a...

Daily. I expect to need aggressive diplomacy to convince the Outsiders, slavers, smugglers and pirates to loan me their ships. Also I will own that I like the bounty missions. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsbbchVRjts

I think those were the counterfeit TESTies.

Best analysis I've seen to date by far. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8rtzi_wt9U

Yeah. No matter what they do with NPCs, PCs will always be better. OTOH, it doesn't take much from AI to fly in formation and launch missiles on command. Actually, I am thinking AI could be better at formation flying, and obeying orders than real pilots. If that's true those are probably the...

Yes, there should eventually emerge excellent reasons to have multiple copies of identical ships. We've been told that we will be able to hire NPC pilots, and that NPCs can be squaded together, and that NPCs can fly escorts. So although it is doubtful that you can send NPCs on their own...

From another thread (I didn't want to hijack) Great vid! And yeah, obnoxious but funny. Excellent work. I poked around and what it seems is, for any combat situation I probably want heavy torso, since it enables 4 grenades and a heavy weapon, but I probably want medium or even light for...

What sort of armor is that Wallace is wearing, and does it restrict your view compared to lighter armor? I presume that is the heavy Outlaw? I thought it had not been released yet.

Not bad, but I don't get why it is not circular. Seems I missed something.

People don't steal becasue they think other people are greedy. They steal because either they're hungry or they are comfortable stealing. If they're comfortable stealing, they'll always find some excuse, but the character issue comes first and the excuse is whatever is handy. It matters much...

Yeah, really great work by CIG. I think this demonstrates again the necessity to understand the game dynamics as stated in the past, and to have clarification on them. If we can link any team's radar, then a stealth ship like the Razor EX could shadow an Eclipse or two and provide targeting...

Interesting. I hadn't thought of the Crucible at all. I suppose of you park the Polaris where you can drive up on top, that's an option since the hangar bay floor raises up. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/citizen-spotlight/10357-Ships-That-Can-Carry-The-Nova

If Toys wants, I can ask some friends if they want to do some free promo work for TEST, to appear at the August conference in Germany. Hot German friends: Kiara in Garching Bei München, Bayern Natalia in Dortmund Lorraine in Bonn Trouble is could this send our membership over a...

That's gotta be it--Javelin reveal. It's due in September. https://external-preview.redd.it/DeAAEZCRrgNgdkYlXUMilFn92IbTFx8E2rZuS9_i1E4.jpg?auto=webp&s=44da03c6755ec8fde98aaf2784516176dc90007c
