We don’t know yet if it can be maneuvered without wings deployed. If not, it will be impossible to fit in many ships the Ursa fits in.

Just keep in mind that there will always be a limit to how many ships can participate in any action. If CIG sets it at 50/side, best is optimize by going for larger ships and crews. So there are limits to the utility of such a tiny ship. Also keep in mind that the Razor is not much bigger. If...

I think had they given it a Q drive, no one would buy or fly anything else. It's half the target size of an arrow and pulls twice the gees of a Gladius. 60% more gees than the Razor nd Arrow. For carried fighter looks like the new meta. You will have the danger of leaving your spotters behind...

Or the MIS? I always look on in wonder at the MIS, as maybe the only true combat ship with more beds than it needs. I always wonder about it as a special opportunity. It's very annoying that CIG locked down the dorsal turret as it gets in the way of so much, but it might not get in the way of...

Little hot but the stealth switch should knock that down to about 4k. Not bad at all. The EM is silly low. https://www.erkul.games/loadout/NEOxBbNW

How many will fit in the Hercules? Will they fit those weird triangle cargo pods on the Railen?

Super useful if it’s that tiny but includes a Q drive. Without one, not so much. Moving a carrier within striking distance of a short range fighter with an Atlas drive leaves the carrier relatively safe. If a carrier has ships with no drive, it needs to put its nose right in the nasty. Without...

Apparently there will be a bomber variant as well, so this is looking like the Talon. This guy is guessing no Q drive. That could be. . . View: https://youtu.be/GX1Yiwl6IuA

I have always loved the whole Bubble Fighter design as seen in Lost In Space, Oblivion and especially Cowboy Bebop. I would not be surprised if it has 4 S2, and comes in under $100. Certainly CIG could get more but this is competing with the Arrow. My guess is it totally lacks handling in...

The only variability I recall about insurance was whether places like Grimhex would supply insurance for pirated ships at hugely inflated prices. I don’t even know how many years ago we switched to include insuring non-stock items. That was not however the original activity. IIRC, it was only...

I can't honestly say whether it will create more troubles than we can manage or not, but certainly it will cause huge problems. The one thing I can say is that we have to see these things come into game sometime, and without CIG's sense of what will be implemented when, its really hard to say...

Absolutely yes, and you can see immediately how complex this all is and why CIG will certainly need to leverage AI to get a workable solution.

I understand, but all of the economy will be adjusted when we hit Beta. Hauling profits will necessarily be raised,at least in dangerous space. (Note we don't even have the distinction between safe and dangerous space yet.) Like it or not, CIG has been clear that they intend all haulers...

Forgive me for not having read your post, but I need to ask, you do realize the reason CIG has given that you can't insure cargo is that no players would then hire escorts and turret gunners, which is the play they want to support. If there's no threat of losing cargo then there's no excitement...

Happy Birthday, Righteous Ace!

It's all a true story. The coffee machine in the Antares grinds and perks coffee picked only on active volcanos. Six natives died to pick your cup of coffee. It's all true. I know because I found it on the Internet.

Last I heard, it is still the plan to do some limited crafting on specific crafting benches, as found in only a few ships including the Carrack, as well as several kinds of facility. IIRC, Grimhex is supposed to contain workbenches in the future. The plan was to allow perks to weapons, etc...

Yes, but it is a necessary precursor to perishable sub-components like sensor buffs, so the earlier we make this switch, the sooner we move to things like replaceable component sensors, which is something many have waited on for years. No, if you'll recall; the original intent was to not insure...

Keep in mind that armor is already partially emulated by the very varied hull point values assigned the ships. When we move to armor, those hull values will be broken down to armor on specific locations that once pierced, allow weapons to damage specific components instead of going into a...
