    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    If the Sledge II is overheating, I think they're going to need to fix it in order to have a place for mass drivers. It seems they nerfed it way past reasonable. It is enough that it fires slower and requires heavy ammo. It should be burning less power, generating less heat, doing less damage...

    Nice

    Not much info. One report is that over 30 were killed and I00 injured. Another said more than 50 killed. One says whomever was driving got out of the truck and opened fire with a gun of some sort but did not say what. It will be a few hours before an official press release but it is way, way...

    Nice

    Just a shout out and call for prayers for our French friends. The truck gone mad incident will no doubt be all over the news tomorrow. I for one will mourn for our good friends who have paid with their lives yet again. So sad. Please pray for those who remain.

    What is that thing?

    Roger that. Naval designations change at different times and places, but generally Frigates are the smallest "ships of the line" whereas Corvettes are generally smaller and not considered ships of the line. Destroyers are often very big ships but in the US Navy during WWII, the "Tin Cans" that...

    Here's an older comparison. Apparently the original Sledge I was so overpowered they completely refurbished it. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goV81wgnRW4

    What is that thing?

    Looks way smaller than I'd thought it would.

    Ship advice

    It's sporty. I used to ride a Virago. "Asphalt protection" for that is generally a pair of jeans and sturdy shoes. Some of the go fast guys wear armor these days.

    What is that thing?

    . . .that passes overhead at time index 7:I5-7:30 ? View: https://youtu.be/EiDWT8i6Mb4 Could it be the Polaris? And at time index 7:38 in the background?

    SPOILER ALERT - Vanduul Ships Conceptual Art

    Fabulous art. Thanks. Its good to note in the comparison chart at the bottom, the difference in size between the Void Bomber and the Idris. From early intel the Void Bomber is more heavily armed, but it is much smaller, and the actual size is much less than the measurements because it has all...

    That's fine with me. With 4 big, fast guns, be they the Hornet's Sledges or Badgers, or the Sabre's 4 Panthers or Broadswords; I think you can probably kill stuff fast enough. The question in my mind concerns the function of stealth and radar. If the Long Look will actually allow you to...

    Ship advice

    I was thinking that too. He's the first person to note the positive result of greater range, and this comes to the issue when choosing the Reliant. I am disappointed they took the beds out and are speaking of it specifically as a "short range" bird. I hate that they nerfed it so, but I have...

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    Agreed, but I would note that it is so very specific, such as things like the Panthers draw I57.5 per second; that I think the data must have come from CIG. How could anyone have measured such a thing so accurately? Also there are columns for data that don't exist yet. No one merely compiling...

    I was told to farm likes here

    What do you do with likes once you grow them? Can you replant the seeds? Can you sell them? Do they grow into loves?

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    All your theory crafting is base on actual experience and helps a great deal. For instance, I did not know you had a control over where to put your available power. That does indeed imply a pool of power as a resource that can be allocated, and confirms the notion that there would be lots of...

    That is so awesome.

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    Cool. According to the chart I've been using they should never overheat, so I am disappointed. The low fire rate I can handle for the sake of increased raw firepower and range, but not the overheating. I was thinking of putting 6 Sledges and 4 Panthers on a Redeemer and now I am all put off...

    Ship advice

    So all the "VNCL" weapons on the table are Vanduul and not available to players? That would remove the option of that nice Blade Plasma Cannon I've been looking at. And even once we can hopefully capture Vanduul ships intact, they would not modify for UEE ship use, unless CIG changes its...

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    I wish I had found this post before I started a new thread on the subject, but let me recommend the other thread anyway. I think that chart does actually explain what may be the case if indeed the notion of a "pool" of energy is correct. It should be easy to verify the contents of that table...
