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

    Practicing is where it's at. Every ship is different and will require different techniques for each ship and each opponent, but in general pilots who fly all the time excel at what they do. That's just the general rule. If you are finishing all the waves of the Vanduul that come against you...

    You're actually storing up luck for later when it counts, and note you can't be flying the Cutlass and Buck. Its when you get to flying those that counts. That all said, marcsand2 is the guy to see to turn you into an ace.

    See now this is the kind of brazen, crazy bastard we need around here. I'll drink to that!

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

    Obviously I am the heretic here, who many may want to burn at the stake for failing to fan the flames of ship envy, but to say the truth I will probably just buy a Tana, some upgrades for it like an EMP generator if it can be fit, and then things like NPC's, Industrial Hangar extensions, etc...

    Help me making the right choice.

    Lets hope for an S5 turret instead of the crappy S1 in the last design. That was why it never appealed to me--it did not have sufficient weapons for the job it's supposed to do, nor enough a reason to pay for the Blue over the Black. Yeah, a larger shield is nice, but Drake is supposed to be...

    Help me making the right choice.

    Exactly right. CIG wants players to own and insure multiple ships and components. If they price things too high, people will just respond by owning only a single ship that is well equipped. People will always want something "custom" that is tricked out in some manner and they will pay to be...

    Piracy Drake psynergy

    Why would anyone use a motorcycle to move cargo? Put a tractor on the Cat and all you have to do is push the crates out of the target craft. That stuff should be easy. What will not be easy is getting your Cat anywhere near a real mark. I know as soon as I see a Cat I'll be thinking...

    Advice Please On Ship Swap

    The Warden has not got many uses. Word is it is too sluggish to dogfight, and even though it has great range and great weapons, a fighter that cannot fight fighters is not much use. The Sentinel should be much more useful. The Harbinger is interesting with all the added missiles, but when you...

    Piracy Drake psynergy

    I love the artistic unity in the Drake line and I do think people will love to use them as a family, but I think there are a couple questionable notions in the scenario atop this thread. For instance, I think it is very important to realize that the greatest commodity in any game like this is...

    Dragonfly concept art, first look!

    Lets hope when they release more detail that will say the length and stick with it. I think at least a couple will fit in the Aurora cargo carry box. I'd like to know if it will fit in the Avenger and Reliant. I'm not sure why so many folks want to purchase stacks of them, as most players...

    Dragonfly concept art, first look!

    Looks like the concept sale starts tomorrow. See here at time index 3:35-5M and index 25-31M. Of special note it cannot move from the surface to space or the reverse, so it needs to be hauled and looks like it will fit in things like the Freelancer. I'm guessing probably not a Reliant nor...

    Dragonfly concept art, first look!

    New art is great! I can't believe it has a shield generator! This opens up all sorts of new options for terrestrial assaults.

    Dragonfly concept art, first look!

    Can you imagine like 30 of these things hiding in an asteroid field and using a draw play to pull a big Vandal cap ship nearby, then swarming it with 60 sucker punches and bludgeoning them into submission? Oh fun times. . . "Get your Vandal thumbs on sale here now, all 50% off!"

They look just...

    I'm gonna wait to buy and just steal them off Carracks. That thumbprint ID thing is no bother at all. I just take the whole thumb.

    Armor Issues

    I should note, to be really useful, it would be good to test each while carrying different weapons. IIRC, the intention is to have 3 weights of armor each with various motion restriction, and three kinds of weapons that also reduce motion. Carrying just a pistol is supposed to reduce your...

    Armor Issues

    Has anyone seen a good vid on the various armors? I am curious to see a real test of the motion restrictions one has to cope with when wearing increasingly heavier armor. If someone here is able, if you could time how long it takes to run from one point to another with each sort of armor and...

    The Redeemer would certainly be my first choice for a boarding craft, since after your crew of cutthroats boards any vessel, you're essentially holding on station in case reinforcements arrive, and the Redeemer is just so kick ass. One of my favorite ships. I want coffee mugs for home.
