To satisfy my own curiosity I thought I would run some numbers that might be reasonable concerning the simplest kind of boarding. For convenience sake I need to make some presumptions here, but it should be fun anyway. Lets say we have an attack on a Star G. Lets presume it has a crew of 6 and...

There are four ways that have been mentioned officially concerning how to disable ships intact. --Distortion Cannons do distortion damage necessary to shut down a ship's computer, which will also shut down its engines. See the Joker Sucker Punch Distortion Cannon, number 7 from the top found...

When can we expect secure sub-forums to protect our valuable in-game trade secrets?

I doubt there will be a simple mechanic for stealing small fighters in game. CIG has already said on multiple occasions they don't want this to turn into Grand Theft Auto in space., and that stealing ships will be extremely difficult, and generally be smaller ships boarding larger ones. Keep...

Since it is a carrier based or short range fighter, it is going to be hard to steal. You would want to prearrange someone to take delivery and scoot away outside UEE space with it as I presume they could track it. Wherever you are you should expect 4-5 jumps with any UEE presence looking for...

This is turning very cool, very fast. Can you couple/decouple with voice commands?

I don't think anything that size is ever going to be more than a target. Star G's are almost the last thing you want in a conflict. Granted, they're cool for a mobile base and such, but I think the Reclaimer is going to be even better. Of course if you want both, a Star G should fit inside a...

The Vanguard is the best multi-crew because it can kill anything on this list and steal its treasure.

Point being, the ship will rotate much faster when decoupled? Just to be clear, "rotation" is the proper term that signifies how quickly a craft turns or rotates along one of its three axes. This is the proper measure of how quickly and easily a ship can be directed to target its fixed-mount...

What is "decoupled" exactly? It's like turning off the computer aids on a Wobbly Goblin or some such? You're flying a inherently unstable bird by hand?

I noticed when viewing weapons comparison vids of others, it is common for players to feel they are killing faster when they are just shooting faster. Seems you didn't make that mistake. For most it "feels" better to be shooting constantly, but as you observe, many weapons kill faster that...

Here it is: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8YxA2tSLYE Noob has several dual stick vids now. They look good. And not to be too repetitive, but just noting I am convinced we have not seen ships like the Vanguards made the best of, because the ship rotates too slowly to fire...

I'm interested in putting together a multi-role deep strike wing, so half dozen Wardens and Sentinels generally flying a pair of Omni XII's on the gimbal and 4 of he Vanduul S2 Plasma Cannons on the nose. Top turret will vary but could often mount Jokers. Probably wearing void armor but we'll...

Unless they're totally retasking the Cutlass, that would imply they intend to allow boarding sans the collar. That means many other ships can be used for boarding. Likewise, if there is a real benefit to the collar, then we should expect all manner of peeps in standing room only aboard ships...

I have never seen anything that suggested that kind of functionality and I would be extremely surprised if anyone wrote code for that. There has been a great deal said about the AI and none of it remotely suggests what you're calling for.

Maybe so, but I have seen nothing that says they're going to sell F8's. It appears to be all fan based vapor, for which CIG has no responsibility that I can see. Has anyone seen an official CIG post that they're going to sell F8's?

That's a Scimitar, the ship that lost against the Redeemer for the Greatest Starship Comp. It may yet be released but it is a gunship class, not a fighter. Holds more crew, has greater range, endurance, firepower and is able to stop a broader selection of ships across a much larger area than a...

It sounds to me that it is essentially a super-Sabre. It has all the speed, maneuverability and limited stealth of the Sabre but with twice the firepower and the tanking hull of the Hornet. It is a superiority fighter based off the Hornet, so sounds like that's what they built. Anyone with...

CIG has been clear from its first mention of the F8 that players will not be able to buy them. The intention with them is to assure the UEE maintains control over its territory, rather than be taken over by players. The only way to get one is to steal one, and good luck with that. My guess is...
