  1. Shadow Reaper

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    If you want to fly solo cargo and already have an Aquila, seems you're set. What sort of weapons do you have on it? Have you taken it out to see if you can manage missions against NPC pirates with it?

    Valkyrie Q&A

    Is the Idris still the largest ship that can land?

    Countdown to $200 million

    I think it already is. Lots of people buy ships on concept and sell them at huge markups once they're no longer available.

    Countdown to $200 million

    I won't celebrate until it tops the charts as most expensive game development. GTAV is still number one at $265M. We need to get out there and help sell Auroras!

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    I think it's worth keeping in mind that if "winning" involved being effective in whatever kind os scenario you might involve yourself, there are certainly arguments to make that only time in the verse will make you a winner. Someone who plays every day, whether he is grinding or flying his...

    So which R2 did you buy?

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    Gotta wonder what the refresh rate is for the Large and Cap sized shields now.

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    I want work as a drunken navigator. I can hear it now: "Hey Ty! What are we doing in Leir? I said "steer us home".

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    Firepower is not good, but when your target is dead it doesn't much matter. There are lots of vids on YouTube. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzytMwuXs1g&t=611s The Raven is also a slimmer target, faster, and more maneuverable than the Hawk and Warlock. I'm sure if you ask around...

    Well the Saber Raven can do that, and probably better than the Warlock! Still no cargo space though.

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    Ask the SH owners around, I'm not sure but you may be able to put the Tracker turret in and the Tracker extended range fuel tanks. I'm not sure about the Ghost's Void Armor, but the idea behind the Hornet is just as with the US Navy F-18--true "multi-mission" capability. It should be far...

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    I believe you can still pull the turret off of the SH and fit some small cargo? Is that still a thing? Might work better for you than the Cutty if you just need a little space. And welcome to TEST!

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    If shields are going to work against ballistics, I wonder who will use them? Seems to negate their primary advantage. Ballistics are generally slower to target, have more limited range, overheat faster and run out of ammo, so why would anyone choose them if shields work against them? Have you...

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    Yes, but what is the alternative? Any game developer wants as many people to be able to play as possible, and people to pay as much as possible. The fact you can find ways to buy an expensive ship in game is encouraging, and no one wanting to earn an HH is going to do it with 4k missions...

    Cheap Polaris

    The HH is selling for $725 now in the CIG store, so my guess is the Polaris is going to go up over 41k. It was originally $750. I guess people got tired of waiting for them? But this is a great price...

    missile lock

    Yes, but how do you know when you can fire? Do you just keep closing and trying to fire? With the Eclipse, when you open the bay doors to shoot, your radar signature should go up, so you don't want to be trying again and again to fire. If there is no notification a weapon is in range, then...

    missile lock

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYauColnqiw Has anyone seen recent data as to the range of the various missiles and torps? I was watching this again, and was struck by the fact the Eclipse could lock a Tally at 27 km (time index 1:12) but the targeting retical did not appear, so I am...

    Anyone interested in helping test things? When 3.3.X is live I need a HH crew and attackers.

    If I may make a suggestion, I think we may also learn a lot if you're able to pull the lasers off one turret and replace them with ballistics. Even if you have to settle for S4 guns, the BEHR C-788 ballistic cannons do about 50% more damage than the S5 BEHR M7A lasers, and all that damage goes...
  19. Shadow Reaper

    Anyone interested in helping test things? When 3.3.X is live I need a HH crew and attackers.

    The HH would get owned by just 4 small fighters without its missiles. It is fast enough to lunge at whoever gets in front of it and go all guns on that target, but to treat with multiple opponents at once at range it needs the missiles. S3 missiles should be hard to evade, so if the HH keeps...
