Given all the love for the Titan, it will be interesting to see what they do with the Reliant on the next patch. No one wants the Kore and IMHO, they really nerfed the ride when they took the bed out. It still has two small tanks and word is it is going to be long range once more. They were...

Well this is all moot since as Toys said, there are no plans to permit split thrust. However just saying, birds like the Vanguard have open fronts to their engines because they are supposed to be able to generate reverse thrust. If you reverse the thrust on one main engine but not the other...

While I get what you're saying, I think that is a different issue. The rotation rates--yaw, pitch and roll--are all a function of the maneuvering thrusters. All well and good. If however you could use the main engines for asymmetric thrust, forward and/or reverse; one supposes you could spin...

No, no, no. Clearly the fashion of our age dictates we find a way to declare victimization and demand some sort of reparations. I personally feel I have been brutalized by the mere news that Disco does not support me personally and my lifestyle choices of yellowness and blackness, and it does...

Please forgive this newb question. By way of explanation to those who don't know, I do not own a game package, nor a gaming machine, nor have the time to play right now; so I have to satisfy myself for the time being by asking questions and learning what I can. I can't "just go check", past...

What do you want to fly? Larger planes use a yoke, which is very like a steering wheel and goes in center like a wheel. Smaller planes use a stick, wich can be located by your hand, so you don't need a gizmo to hold it front and center and can put your keyboard there. Depends what you are...

Roast a pig each week and slather it in mandarin.

I think TEST has some FPS groups with guys who would teach you how to do it right, rather than rely upon twitch skills. It is much more important to learn good habits than to twitch well. Odds are if you have tried it and gotten killed a lot, it is not because you weren't pointing and clicking...

Anyone know anything about these DOMINANCE-2 Laser Cannons? Seems way too high damage listed in the DPS calc.

The spike missiles that go with the Sentinel are the Arrester III, and they also come with the Polaris, Hammerhead, Sabre and Gladius. Probably you can fire them from any bird big enough. The thing that makes the Sentinel highly unusual is it can mask its signature and that of the ships...

No, I would not expect any other details until they release the scan updates, I think in Q1 next year. Is Q1 or Q2, but soon. I noted that whenever it is, they did not plan to release the Sentinel at the same time, so the big update on scan that makes EWar a thing is not linked specifically to...

For SQ 42 to be ready, I think they need to build the Vanduul Cleaver boarding ship to go with the Void Bomber, so it is quite possible they're developing it now. They never say much about the state of affairs of Vanduul builds. I would not however assume it will be for sale. Could be you...

It isn't an especially good idea to publish how many cap ships the Org has access to. Much better to make possible opponents guess whether we have 10 or 100 Javs.

Love it but wish it had adjustable backlighting. Would love to be able to make it backlit red for a terrapin, green for a Vanguard, etc.

Wow. Thanks for this! Those are insanely low sigs. With the weapons turned off the Razor IR sig is 1/5 that of the Eclipse. The EM didn't ever go down quite as far as the Eclipse--1400 when the Eclipse was 1100, but the IR went down to 420 when the Eclipse was 2400. I have never seen...

Good question. I am hesitant to do this for two reasons. First, you only get the one into the Polaris bay, same as the Eclipse. The Terrapin has S2 radar, so is a good choice, but both are much slower than the Vanduul fighters and would be on their own if discovered. Being faster than your...

The Eclipse has the same S radar as the tiny Razor EX. While I like the notion of being able to attack large ships from more than one vantage point and using an Eclipse is good for this, the main mission of a spotter is to spot, and if seen to survive by fleeing. Probably the Razor is no more...

I'm looking at the various options again of what works best for spotting targets with a "spotting ship" ship, and blasting them with the S10 torps on the Polaris. I've looked at both speed and stealth as solutions for spotters, and even considered the Eclipse since it will fit in the Polaris...

Keep in mind that CIG deliberately limits the place of true multi-mission type ships so that players will buy more than one ship. It is rare to find a ship that can do many tasks well. Yeah, the Titan can do many tasks passably, but it doesn't do any of them really well. It is designed...

I continue to be impressed with the new ships. They're all brilliant in their own way.
