That is bloody brilliant. You don't then need drivers, and you could maybe squad together NPCs for missile control on each Ballista. Maybe NPCs on the Ballista turrets for fighter suppression. Maybe just need one pilot for the Endeavor. Maybe a second for one Ballista. You could load up the...

I'm wondering if you can grab it with the claw or tractors and place it into the salvage bay.

Don’t they need the Javelin and Bengal for SQ42? Who makes them?

I agree, and I think it has several other creative uses besides. Certainly up until now we would have expected any ship that comes in over the battlefield to reign unchallenged due to the heavier shields, hull and firepower values of ships over vehicles. Until now the best way to kill a tank...

Yeah they will change it, and it will be different, but it will be different with every ship you fly. So best hone your skills now on how to hone your skills.

Pippin, if you're crashing again and again, watch the vids! I totally get why people are complaining, but this is what we came to the game to support. Enough with phony skills earned through grinding tasks, and children with no adult responsibilites dominating games that adults love to play...

I want a random drawing so long as they draw me. Me, me, me, my, my my! "Mine, mine, or I help you not!" Okay, so someone is supposed to quote Luke and say "just give it to him."

Is there an articulation between the rear wheels and the door? It looks like one but I haven't seen these things bend in any of the vids. IMHO, this would be much cooler if you could disconnect at that point, and leave the missile section in place, and control several of these missile racks...

Hover toggle and a holographic depiction of what is under your ship, both coming soon. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGJ6MM4M5Eo

They had one and removed it. Consider for a moment why they might have done this. If you are flying a bird that needs serious horizontal motion to break hover, lets say like the Vanguards; and you flip the switch to turn off hover before you have adequate velocity, your ship ought to instantly...

Have you watched the two vids I posted on acceleration and hover? IIUC, the reason you seem to have trouble with an astonishingly high hover ceiling is that there is no ceiling. The toggle for hover/no hover does not consider altitude at all. It is just velocity relative to the ground/pad...

In CIGs defense, if you just look at what the ships are doing from third person, they actually appear to fly like ships, which was not true in the past. Yeah, it is going to take some skill to pilot close in now, but shouldn't it? Shouldn't there be an automatic reward for good piloting...

Hardpoint lists the Stalker, Reaper and Valkyrie V missiles as 31-34k lock range, 17-19km flight range. No update for the new missiles here yet. I don't think anything else calls out S7 missiles. Certainly there is nothing on Hardpoint nor SCDB 3.5. If the ranges are between the S5 and S9...

Congrats!

How did you spawn these? Any chance of putting them in a Reclaimer and transporting them to an asteroid to see how they perform, including lock range against any given target, and the lock range of that target, say against an HH or a Connie? This thing's utility is tied completely to its...

No details about the three versions. I have to wonder if they will work automated, and if you can drop them in vacuum, like on an asteroid, and have them track and attack on their own. That would be extremely very cool, especially given decent radar. I don't get they're marking it as 2X...

I doubt the mechanism CIG uses posits fixed blades, nor even blades at all. The Prowler doesn't have blades. It has grav plates. One simple observation would be to see if there is any negative thrust setting for any given ship, but really the only empirical way to know is to try to fly a ship...

I think too, that the animations of SC ships taking off and landing have always sucked. They don't look like theyt're flying at all. Now you have to actually pilot a ship to pilot a ship, and that is what SC is supposed to be all about.

If someone wouldn't mind, I would dearly like to know if your ship, any ship, will hover properly inverted. For ages I've had a hankerin' to fly the Vanguards inverted on terrestrial strike missions so the turrets are facing downward. For drops obviously you need the Hoplites right side up, but...
