The ability to position for a missile shot is a function of speed, maneuverability, observability and sensor lock range-. Sixth generation fighters are not designed for dog-fighting, which by definition references use of a gun. Modern fighters--those being designed in light of the terrible...

Reviewing videos again on the new refueling game loop coming out in a few weeks and here are a few details I missed which supermacbrother highlighted : A- an escrow will be used to transfer the money between players. B- the refueling ship will have a new hud specific to mange the process of the...

Sorry, but that's just not so. Dogfighters like the F-22 have low wing loading (377kg/m^2). That's what makes them air superiority craft. The F-35 is a flying brick because it has such high wing loading (525kg/m^2), but it doesn't matter because it is not intended to ever use its gun.

God bless for helping in Ukraine. I'm curious why you waited for Putin to be marching on Kiev. For all his blundering it doesn't seem there's much to stop him now, or are the reports in error?

Giving players the ability to sell items from their local inventory to shops using a new interface powered by Building Blocks. This supports the recently added Loot Generation feature, allowing these items to be sold for money. This includes kiosk and service support for sale of non-commodities...

IRL, total mass devided by control surface and flight surface area deternmines "wing loading" which is a fair measure of maneuverability. High wing loading is why the F-35 is such a shitty dog-fighter. Note most modern combat is just position and shoot missiles, so high maneuverability is not...

Nooo. . .I'm pretty sure when it first announced they were specific that when the turret is forward it is pilot controlled. CIG knows it will be a huge success based solely upon the notion of more firepower than any other platform, no matter how badly it handles. I think it is planned to...

It's not ballistics v slower lasers. It's S1-4 are 1,400 m/s and S5 are 700 m/s. Total FUBAR. Lets all hope they'll go back to more reasonable and divergent stats on the weapons.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing the same as Montoya. I think if they fail to make the rotation rate low, they'll have troubles disenfranchising the other heavy fighters. I could be wrong but it feels like they have to nerf maneuverability such that it's back near where the Cutty is, and that is...

I was a fan of Hercules at the time and of Sorbo now. He's generally a great guy.

You should keep in mind that the AI is being designed such that there will be three different skill levels for NPC gunners, that the least of these should be more effective than AI blades, and the best NPC gunners should be less effective than PCs. So if the gun is consequential at all, you'll...

I don't think he said that exactly, but he did wear himself out expecting stuff like salvage to release on time. To be fair, marking two weeks work to get moist eyes does not ingratiate the masses nor give confidence over why salvage and refueling are so crazy late. Can't blame Morph for...

That is unfortunate, but since missiles and torps are used at distances greater than guns, perhaps it does not matter that much. Ballista would be vulnerable to fighters, but the fighters are very vulnerable to the Carrack manned turrets. What is "Terada"?

Wow. Great vid. Thanks for this. It actually appears there is room for a pair of Ballista side by side on top, though I'm uncertain whether you could enter the one on the starboard side or if the door ramp would not function. Certainly worth investigation. S7 torps are nasty, as are the S5...

Yes well, again to remind, I have never seen a Ballista atop a Carrack. I have mentioned this before, because even just one added to the firepower of a Carrack is a game changer, but I don't own a Carrack and in the months since I made the observation, I'm still not aware of anyone having done...

Yeah, I think we're just not connecting here. To be more clear, we're talking about leaving the Carrack hangar bay doors closed and parking on top of them. Players have found that you can do this with at least three ships (Arrows) at a time and the local gravity of the Carrack will hold them...

Look at it again and think about it. Both positions place the missiles facing directly forward along the Carrack's centerline. They could not be more centrally located. I think you must think I'm describing something other than what I'm thinking. What is not obvious is how to get a Ballista...
