In this shot, that Lancer is looking an awful lot like the Firefly class Serenity. . .

I was wondering about this when I first read the posts. I had no idea kids that young were online. I don't honestly see the value there. That seems way too young for them to be unescorted, and if a parent is with, seems there ought to be something more rewarding than playing online. IMHO, it...

Okay so the notion of a $10 NPC is a myth? That's never gonna be a thing? You can pay NPCs in game, or purchase PC slots with game packages, and turn PC slots into NPCs with limited automation, but you can't just buy NPC slots at $10@?

Does anyone know if the plan for owned NPCs will allow a friend to log in and play an owned NPC while the owner is playing? My guess is, CIG wants everyone to own a game package, so might not allow this. Would they keep it single active player per account?

That is classic and deserves to be over-quoted.

IMHO, for running small transport you need something that can outrun the Hornet. That's my baseline. Hornets are pretty ubiquitous and they will shoot your Reliant to tiny bits quite easily. I think for outrunning Hornets you want a 135C, a 300 series, a Mustang Alpha or an Avenger Titan, and...

Last I heard Chris Roberts respond to this directly, the plan was to be able to put up to 50 ships and many times more players into an instance and keep it running smooth and fast. While I don't understand the changes needed to make that happen, I think there are others here who do. Perhaps...

Yeah well, I'm not the guy to respond to that as I can't play at all yet. I was just told it was 7k/mission for the simplest ones, and I think I saw some vids that supported that notion some months ago. I think also at that time people were saying even for placing last in racing was something...

". . .the party members should be able. . ." meaning that is the system's design or what you would like to see? Is it still true mission running is like $7k/mission and they take about 10 minutes? How long did it take to run your transport? Am I comparing apples to apples--they pay is in the...

I think that is supposed to be what the whole game mechanic is supposed to be like in basic design, but then quickly gets much more complex. A couple years ago and last I checked, there was and perhaps is still a huge difference between how Vanduul reactors work and UEE components work. It...

That's close. The power necessary for any given amplitude wave, is a linear function of frequency. Or put another way, for any given range and amplitude signal, the higher the frequency, the more power needed. So yeah, in general you can get longer range with a lower frequency. The trouble...

The sensing ability is all relative. Best you can do for now is lower the sigs as much as possible in any given situation. I think it is going to take a real stealth expert to know make good appraisals of when you can be seen and when you can't, and performing the calculations for a real...

Actually the Distortion Cannons do great damage to shields. If you're flying 6 of them on a Tana, you should expect to bring shields down very quickly. Here's a Warlock shooting two cannons and it takes the Hornet's shields down in 5 shots, you can pick it up at time index 1:15: View...

And you can always attach transducers to your chair that make it shake when you take a hit or crash.

There is a hidden advantage here too. Not only would you be able to identify sound directions in game, but you could do this without an opponent seeing you do it. so conversations in a bar take on a whole new level of cleverness. The data from the unit is likely identical to the gyros and...

Take the castors off and build it into a motorized, linear-rotation stage like those in many of the SC ships, where you rotate and slip in front of your screens just like the seat slips in front of the console on a ship. HOTAS in each hand, I think. . . https://align1solutions.com/

Any idea what are the implications for Star Marine? Would you be able to scan for sound in an FPS environment simply by turning your head the way you would in real life, and can you identify sound directions this way? Seems like it is possible this could give a significant advantage in FPS, if...

I think if what you want is a very light freighter, your choices are the Avenger Titan, the Reliant Kore and the 135C. If you want to do light freight, you have to have a strategy for coping with crooks who want your cargo. With the Titan and 135C, the strategy is run away. With the Kore you...
