    Reliant Variants

    Anyone notice the Kore does not have a single S2 reactor as anticipated? It has a pair of S1's which is vastly better. You may for instance, lay in a low signature with an extra cooler for primary and a high output, uncooled model for secondary, and you would be very stealthy until the...

    Instancing with 50-100 players is out, now 1000 players?

    Doubtful. All ships are immune to attack when they are in a hangar, and it only stands to reason those that cannot be hangared will have similar protection under some similar circumstance. If orgs had to provide 100+ players in support 24/7 just to own a ship, what would be the point of that...

    Just a thought

    IMHO, the best sort of organizing you can do right now is simply "vision casting" what you'd like to do and see who has similar interests. I did this in the Privateering thread some weeks back and there was quite a healthy response which says to me people do like the idea of piracy but don't...

    The Problem with Capital ships

    I think CIG is on record that NPC's will be effective in boarding parties and turrets but not as effective as players. I think you want to have NPC's for defensive reasons, but when you pick the time and place of battle, you want players. For this reason attackers will always have some...

    The Problem with Capital ships

    I don't think we have enough info to make cogent battle plans, but would note that probably any assault on cap ships will be contingent upon EM Warfare. You need to sever the connection between the big ships and their fighter screens so the fighters don't know to kill incoming. Reuires several...

    The Problem with Capital ships

    Sorry my keyboard is broken. Last I herd, instances limit the number of ships, not players; and presently limit to I6 ships. The intention is to drive that to 32 ships. IIUC, the inside of each ship is like its own instance, so not problem. We need range specs on torpedoes. There is no...

    The Problem with Capital ships

    I am still skeptical of how cap ship combat will work, when ships are insured. Unless Javs and Bengals take months to replace, how can there ever be anything like a real war? I have heard what sounded like a plan that the larger a ship is, the longer it will take to respawn, but have not heard...

    Piracy [In-Game Occupation] Let's raise the Black Flag! (TEST Piracy)

    It is slated to have 4 S4 Gimbals, so could mount 8 Sledges. That's more than a Redeemer. It is too big to be maneuverable, but It could cut your engines to shreds, just tear them right off your transport, along with every weapons mount. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    Thanks to the lady in front of me at the drive thru this morning!

    He must have been flying an Aurora and she felt pity.

    Reliant Variants

    All the Reliant have 2XTRI. They will be poky, though they will be very maneuverable. They have about the least thrust of any ship. They should be good at avoiding IR scans, and missiles.

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    I like the idea of 4 guns all the same plus missiles. You can then set the second stage for the missiles. Has anyone loaded two different kinds of missiles onto one fighter and how did that go? Is it that you have to load each launcher with all the same, or both launchers if they're the same...

    How does melting and unmelting work

    It's the same in both directions, but when it's turning solid the latent heat is called latent heat of condensation. When it turns gaseous it's called latent heat of vaporization, etc. It's basically just a certain quantity of energy for each degree change for any given material, plus...

    How does melting and unmelting work

    This is the specific heat for energy needed to change any specific temperature, plus the latent heat specific to the material for the phase change between solid and liquid, which is often very large. It's surprising that. . . What? Oh. Never mind.

    Eric Davis has one on his head. . .a rabid hamster. Oh, that's supposed to be the "in" hair cut? I don't think so. Get a hairbrush. You look like a moron. I don't care if you're a millennial, you look like someone got your head caught in a laundry drier. Save that styling' stuff for the...
