The remedy for pirates is certainly escorts. No matter what you're hauling cargo in, a handful of escorts is a huge deterrent. Certainly if I were flying a Star G I'd want a handful of Tana's flying escort. Even though they don't dogfight well, any NPC can launch missiles and since they...

SC is pointing toward the best solution to this problem I've ever seen, which is bounty hunting. If you want to earn cash for killing players, you want a job as a bounty hunter. From what they're describing of how they want the game to play, it is going to be HUGELY inconvenient to hold outlaw...

Couple things. . . First off, UEE ships do not have a self destruct. Only Vanduul ships have that, and the reason they have it is so players don't load up on free ships on a daily basis. If you want to steal ships and not have the hassles of outlaw status, there will be a small selection, as...

They still owe us scanning sensor sats, probes, mines, and personal shields, and I would like to see a long range stealth gunship. Maybe another Tevarin design, but larger than the HH and smaller than the Polaris--skip the hangar. Something like a five person Eclipse with several big guns.

Looks all full of beast mode. Love the vent work!

I vacilate back and forth what I want my first ride to be--Sentinel or Hoplite--because even though I don't fancy running cargo, the ability to do that on ocassion seems worthwhile to me. Sometimes missions have you move a single crate and you can't do that in many smallish birds, but the...

I'm not planning to play a trader, transport pilot nor smuggler, but players have always questioned about what happens when you move unsecured cargo. Certainly I would try it in the Hoplite. I've never seen it with any of the ships, and though people ask about it, I haven't seen anyone do a...

Yup. But there is room if you don't lock the cargo down. It's the only stealth ship with room for cargo that comes to mind past the Ghost's one unit, though perhaps I'm just not recalling. I think though, one could probably fit 20 crates in there. Given the update with how sensors work and...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TSWeEmyzk4 Interesting that they chose to discuss the smuggler's trade and the Prowler at the same time, essentially begging the player to wonder whether they can get their ill gotten goods into the Prowler. It was NOT originally slated to carry any...

I think especially for laptops, the heat saved with 7nm tech will find a place.

I just got what looks like a scam popup from the embedded links in this forum. I was just logging in and a popup appeared pretending to be Wells Fargo bank, but was not. It was in their colors, etc., so just saying, if you're selling links for cash, you appear to be selling them to a scam...

The size of the switches isn't just that it makes the processor smaller. It requires much less power. So for a single Ryzen3 on turbo it's burning 100 watts instead of the i9's 165 watts. That's a huge difference when you need to cool them by the thousands.

So lots of us love the Lancer but hate that it has such a crumby field of view (FOV). Several birds have bad view angles, and this is not by mistake. Its actually a selling point that fighters have such a FOV, so CIG isn't going to "fix" the Lancer. However. . .might we not see a special Head...

I'll be fascinated to learn how the new 7nm tech tests out. Certainly if Oak Ridge is already putting cash down, they expect something big here. Seems odd to me they would place an order for an exoflop machine unless they had already done extensive testing. So my guess is the new tech holds...

I've actually been looking at the NViDEA HGX-2 for some time, for use in future spacecraft as a flight computer. The HGX-2 is a 2 petaflop machine that draws about 10KW. There are no spacecraft that have ever been designed that have a power budget that can run such a machine, but we expect...

Yes, it often makes good sense to use multiple ships of the same kind or closely connected kinds, like the Vanguard variants; in groups. One of the benefits of the Vanguard is it has very high speed for a ship with such great range. If you combine it with ships that are slower, or that have...

However we also know that components lost when a ship goes boom will be expensive to replace. One of the things I like about the Razor EX is that although it may be worth replacing the shield or reactor, it is very serviceable as is. It seems would be nice to have a bird you enjoy stock, just...
