    Car-nundrum

    Well, I know people won't like this answer but you did ask for our opinions. I think Benz are all vastly over-rated cars. Yeah, that is a nice car but for that kind of price you could have a 2015 XKR-S Convertible and it will outperform both those Benz's by a very wide margin in virtually every...

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    Is the plan for capacitors to be variable ship to ship or all very close to the same? Are we going to develop opinions about how thus n such a ship now sucks or is excellent based almost exclusively on its capacitors--something we can't change out?

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    675 rounds for the Revenant. That's something like 41 or 42 seconds. Crazy nerf. Who would use that now? Horrible. What a poor decision. There were so few people using gattlings already and now everyone is going to go energy. So Stupid.

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    No really it sucks that Sabres suddenly have just 2 shields. What we really want is the damned Vaduul die, Die, DIE! They all deserve to die! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K59L55NM9vk

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    Yeah, but special hulls like the Space Turtle, have more coolers than conventional hulls. You can sneak in anything, but you can sneak in sneaky hulls much better than most.

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    Well said, and though I favor real world physics and what CIG is trying to accomplish, there are gameplay reasons for departing from these. Getting a reading of a ship's type and cargo is not possible with known conventional physics, but it sure makes for good gameplay. BTW, they're again...

    Nautilus Escort

    I would not take a civilian ship of any type into a military op. If the main thing is big sensors, take an Idris. My point was thinking more toward mining Vanduul areas, where you want to get in and out unseen, and use the minefield as a trap during a later engagement. Large ships like the...

    I think the cross section missiles presume an active scan from the missile itself, but there's no active function in game.

    3:14 missile and sensor updates

    I think I've seen it before.

    What is the ship in the foreground at T7:45?

    3:14 missile and sensor updates

    View: https://youtu.be/MsDqdK3wsCk Though he says you can't launch more than one kind of missile at a time, I don't know if he checked voiceattack and alpha missile strike programs. It may be you simply can't send lock data to more than one kind of missile at a time. Certainly this is a huge...

    Nautilus Escort

    I was thinking recently about how to best deploy and maintain minefields. Seems to me you'd want several Nautilus in formation laying down a grid, and even though they're pretty well armed I think you'd want some escort. Mine-laying missions are nice in that they can be planned well in...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    IMHO, the most important use of Stealth is recon. Searching for something without being seen yourself is a powerful mode. There is no real "search" however in the planned missions. I think you will need either PVP for that, or the missions that will open up in things like the Sons of Orion...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    I think CIG was clear that the largest ships can only use large jumps points. I think the Herc qualifies, at least until we hear differently. 70 m beam is wider than the Nautilus, Perseus and 890 Jump.

    How much are mining and trade earning per hour for those who have a system down?

    The value of a mineable rock...selling a mining location.

    I take it you're hiring Carrack's to scan but you still have to haul the blow-me-upian ore back with the Mole? You can't transfer it safely?

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    The Herc does seem hard to beat but it costs a lot more and can't use medium jump points. Also looks like Herc pilots have a very hard time filling the hull with cargo that has good markup. As a result a lot of them are carrying many cargos at once and can't sell much of the cargo space most...

    The value of a mineable rock...selling a mining location.

    Can you explain what you mean by "opportunity cost"? Has anyone come up with an average time it takes to discover a find on this order? How common is it?

    TSMC - Ship Worth Taking | Sunday July 11

    This looks great. Wish I could join you. I have already recommended it to a friend who doesn't read the forum as often as i do. Let me recommend you bring some Red Cutties and spawn to them, so if you buy the dirt nap you're back on mission right away. Lots of players use the Red for FPS...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    I'm still hoping they'll do a quick pass on the bridge of all the Connies. I doubt they'll ever remove the struts--that's signature for most cargo-like ships. It's not a mistake. There aren't any Connie fighters and you don't need such an open view to launch missiles. What I want to see...
