  1. Shadow Reaper

    Stalker or Hawk

    I think it is still too early to say, for reasons I'll explain in a moment. No. Both the Avenger and hawk are entry level and can't really do the job well. I'm surprised you're not considering the Blue. If you're hunting, I think there will be many times your prey will Q away, and to catch...

    Unless you know better what a player would gravitate toward in their interest, I suggest the starter package and Mustang to 325A upgrade. That ship is a step above the Avenger which most consider the best starter. If a player gets into a fight with an Avenger, they have a reasonable...

    3.10 uncoupled Hovermode

    Great vid. Thanks! So for the Vanguard, would your suggestion be to learn to toggle decoupled on/off regularly for different maneuvers? Hovering seems important and cool.

    You've got crabs

    Me: I do not. Haven't had that since Dorell, and the Ginny sisters, wh. . . Owl: No, really; we've got crabs

    3.10 uncoupled Hovermode

    So lets see the vids of your piloting skills. I especially want to see how the Vanguards handle close to the ground. Looks like the Space Turtle rocks. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDCp_JX49M4&fbclid=IwAR0RMUtucmXf6cMjMmK6WsFEIJU3Y6vKGuI_It4OnM5fJHMi7Sp8kSCWYps

    Hi I am Kaiya!

    I thought the new guy buys the beer. Wasn't that a thing. . .?

    State of the Banu Merchantman

    I doubt CIG will much change the size nor intention of this ship. They really want player merchants to have a huge impact on economy. I think CIG is aware many players want to use the BMM as an internal transport similar to the Hull C, and probably they will be able to do this, but I also...

    Yes, CIG has a long history of responding to the base. However, they know where they want to go with C&C, and the players complaining aren't thinking about this at all. Did you mean "Sledges" rather than "Singes"? The Sledge is back in S1, S2 and S3. No reports yet what CIG is doing here...

    It's not punishment if every solo player has the same debuf. It's an advantage/reward for cooperative play. (Besides, no one has yet checked to see how quickly they can tag with voice command. You may actually find that with some effort, some solo pilots obtain a large advantage through this...

    Mercury Star Runner looking good.

    The bulkheads in Bam's upper pic are not asymetrical. Fair chance we were looking at the Herc. Would make sense. Do they need the Herc for SQ42?

    I didn't say you're ambiguous. I said you're equivocating by using the term "behind" in two different ways. Look, this is a done deal. CIG did this to give us a reason to have people in the turrets, and performing C&C on cap ships. They have to do this to make cap ship combat a real thing...

    Mercury Star Runner looking good.

    The asymetrical bulkhead almost looks like it's pointing somewhere. Maybe they're going this route for Crusader in order to thwart people getting lost in the larger ships, the way they do in the Starfarer?

    Hi, I'm Starstough and I follow instructions

    To be fair, Kirk was written as adolescent wish fullfilment. Picard was written much more seriously. Like what captain goes on dangerous away missions, just so he can suck face with green women?

    Hi, I'm Starstough and I follow instructions

    Picard is a better Captain, but Kirk gets the girls. In the broad scheme of things, which do you suppose matters more? Welcome to TEST! Does the new guy buy the beer?

    Has anyone flown the new Sledges yet? What are they like?

    I didn't mean to count them out. Everyone needs the opportunity to play alone at times. We all need this. The real difference though is going to come in large engagements, with dozens of birds in the sky. Those who have the benefit of skilled C&C are gonna wipe the field against those who do...

    Yes, there are differences, but you're equivocatiing. If a pilot rotates their bird to face an opponent that was behind them, that opponent is no longer behind them. This does not negate the need to get behind your opponent. The point is, a Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) or a command channel...

    Word on the street: --Large ships handle terrible in atmo, just as should be. --The Reclaimer cannot get off the ground for more than two seconds--sounds broken. --Light fighters are flying their best since 2.6, and a real blast to fly. So maneuvering is both worse in big birds and better in...
