    Profession starter ships

    BTW I am one of those Liberator pilots. :) I bought it mostly to move my better half's and my short range ships, which we intentionally limited because of range considerations, but I am open to making a buck or three moving other people's ships. :) The Eclipse is a placeholder, not sure for...

    Profession starter ships

    I agree that there will be lots of screaming. But will it hurt funding, since people may either be ticked enough to not fund, or decide they have to have the bigger ships, that cost more.

    Or a Liberator pilot.

    Profession starter ships

    With the Misc Expanse joining the ranks of profession starter ships, it may be time to consider something. The profession starter ships, for the most part, have things in common. They are single seaters, with the basics to get the job done. It gives the player a chance to, "as the Earthers like...

    MISC Expanse Sale Now On - $135

    You could always stash a 10KT nuke between the refineries, for just such an occasion. Failing that: View: https://youtu.be/ST9OkLjTu9Q

    MISC Expanse Sale Now On - $135

    Cheaper than I expected. (No I'm not buying one. :) )

    Four guys, four days and a better hangar module than Star Atlas.

    Lumberyard is no more. Its base has been branched and released as O3DE. That is the version that has all the cool features. That is also not the version CIG is using. Even with that, I don't think O3DE is up to the same tasks as either Unreal or Unity. While I'm not saying these 4 guys could...

    Starfield

    You're right, underdelivered is incorrect. In 10 years CIG hasn't finished anything, even the basic tech to build a game on. It is a serious understatement. Nothing is delivered. Not the database, not the render engine, not the tech to make planets, not a single ship, not the flight model etc.

    Star Citizen on track for another record breaking crowdfunding year

    The Xbox isn't much different from a low end gaming PC running, essentially, windows. The PS5 is more difficult, since it doesn't run something close to Windows.

    Star Citizen on track for another record breaking crowdfunding year

    It's still the whales. They are either enticing more people to become whales than they are losing or they are enticing more of the whales to spend even more.

    Star Citizen on track for another record breaking crowdfunding year

    They might have a record year but it will be without my money.

    Flight stick question

    OK, now that looks interesting. I'm not sure I could get used to the angle there with the button location though. Wouldn't that still center if you release pressure?

    Fair enough. :)

    Titan Load out

    If I am going against Connies I am flying my Vanguard, or, maybe, my Eclipse. :) For a single seat fighter, Connies are very tanky. 60 seconds may not be enough, unless you are very accurate. The good thing about ballistic cannons is you get 60 seconds of continuous fire. The bad thing about...

    There is lots of opinion here (mine included). What best suits your style and needs is best found out by using this thread only as a starting point and figuring it out for yourself. :)

    Titan Load out

    I wasn't specifically talking about shooting at a Connie or a typical PVE larger target. Having said that. A fully crewed Connie where the crew is awake can force a player ship, even a Gladius or Arrow into defensive flight. The Connie plus Merlin is a nasty target for any single fighter.

    Putting that Deadbolt V with the MVSA on my Vanguard Warden does insane damage. I haven't tried doing something similar with a Titan, so I can't say whether it is worth doing or not, however with only 3 guns the Avenger tends to need all the damage it can produce, all the time. Note that with...

    What am I missing? Why the Voyager Quantum Drive instead of the Atlas?

    While this is true, the stock Gatling, the Revenant, and the Balistic repeaters only have 15 second of ammo. If you are going balistics, go with cannons, and mix them with laser cannons, so you only get one pip.

    This! One addition. Size 4 nose gun first. Size 3 wing guns second. FR 66 shields third. Atlas Quantum Drive Unify your missiles. From a practical standpoint nothing else really matters. Generally: Laser repeaters are my prefered choice, in most situations, and my recommendation for new...
