One of the issues that it seems no one has faced yet in combat, is the whole sub-category of situations that arise with long range scanners, especially from larger ships or specially designed ships like the Space Turtle. When you can sense or be sensed by an enemy while still outside their scan...

At SWC there was talk of someone putting together a personal jump calculator, which would do the precise calculations for you, so that if you wanted to go to a specific set of coordinates in deep space, it would give you the exact heading, and time that you should be in flight, so you could exit...

That was a great explanation, but I want to be clear--there is still no way for the pilot to enter the coordinates of the location you want to jump to, so you cannot do what I described above? Your friend can give you the coordinates where he is, but you cannot simply enter them into your...

Or take work flying escort for a group who can supply you with fuel for the trip. Even if you cannot refuel in space like off a StarG with a refueling probe, you can refuel anything that will fit in a Polaris, for exmaple; and so an make much longer trips. Any movement of an Idris would be the...

Great example proving the point of why team play is key. Flying alone should always come with hugely associated risk. The keys to success in SC all concern how well you work with others IMHO.

I just opened the calculator to check this and 3 of the 4 S5 weapons are now missing. Interesting. Worth keeping an eye on to see how it updates. My guess is the S5 Vanduul originated WAR cannon will be some sort of limited access, in-game reward for taking down Vanduul.

I'm still not clear on something. Can you Q jump t arbitrarily assigned coordinates within a system, or do you have to select some sort of nav point that shows up on the HUD? So for example, say you are neutralizing (EMP, distortion cannon or spike missile) Vanduul fighters in mostly empty...

God bless. It is true, the best revenge is to live well. Sounds like you have that in spades.

In SWC we used to plan tactics around "micro-jumping", which was to plan a standard warp jump and exit the jump inside the same system you were leaving from, which meant in a matter of just a few seconds. That would cause you to leap across an entire system that might normally take half an...

I deserve to win the Hull A because I am smart, and cool, and funny, and everyone always likes me, and I give chocolate to friends, hot chicks and small children, and I love to kill things and take their treasure. Please give me a Hull A.

Free massages in prison? I thought it was bad we give prisoners free gym rights ('cause who doesn't want the bad guys all burly?) and free tattoos. So really, anyone discharged from German prison gets $2,000/month for life? Is that really true?

On the issue of long range, one thing to keep in mind is that without a bed in your bird, when you log you will get bumped back to a dock somewhere, probably back where you started. With the bed you can log, sleep, work, go eat dinner, etc.; and the Warden will be right where you left it when...

Yup. Need to wait and see, though I can't understand how the Tally can act as a bomber with such a low speed unless it has some limited stealth. I would look for that as stealth comes into game. 188k is a lot more than the Lancer Max and a pair of Cultass which is 98k. Twice as much. We need...

I suggest you define the terms used in the doc and post a link. For the largest group to be able to use the sheet, they need to know what the different speeds mean, and they need to be able to find your work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ymcp3JpCcD96REDS9rpJBDG70/edit#gid=1875385912

By adding the Freelancer you lose the nice high top speed of the Cutlass. This is just what I recommend against. Ships with high top speeds are optimized around this, and to throw this benefit away for any reason should be done with great hesitancy. Part of what makes the Cutlass a great ship...

Nothing on the Polaris?

It still sounds that we will be able to hire NPCs as crew, including as pilots of escort craft. If that happens, people will pay top dollar for NPC pilots and put them in that "extra" fighter ship they had. Now if you planned to take special advantage of the Cutlass and want to consider it a...

The calculator won't open right now so I can't check, but I believe if you look at the very short S5 list, at top is the version we will eventually be able to mount, and near the bottom is the Vanduul version. Looks like we will be able to mount their weapons, but keep in mind they overheat...

When did they stop working?
