One of the reasons I love the Sentinel, and chide players for thinking and choosing what can be done with any ship, is that we really need to think in many ways of what can be done with several ships. Escort AI, or "ship AI" is contingent upon an NPC in the pilot's seat (we think), but the AI is...

This is a big deal, and though it is new; one hopes CIG will work it into game as a normal sort of radar. The work on this actually goes back more than half decade. This is the first time academics have made it work. Could be they've had this at Lockheed Martin for half decade. I would not...

I'll bet they made the change so that they can fit everything inside. That was the original point behind gimble assist. Do you know anyone who has fired a turret from a fast maneuvering ship like the Hurricane, Vanguard, or even the Cutty? I doubt this will outmaneuver the Cutty. Anyway, you...

I know people talk about me behind my back. They are envious of my tow jam. What they don't get is you can have tow jam too, just. . . What? Oh. Nevermind.

It won't piss off the people who already bought it. Recall, the Harbinger is already up to $290 so you should expect the Redeemer to be at least $315. It's a five person ship. If they put the right guns on it and make it fast enough, they can get $400 easily. Certainly after such a long wait...

The problem is in part that the Aegis style guide emerged as a thing after this design. The other Aegis ships already shared enough in common that the brand came together, but this really looks more MISC to me. Still, seems they are pursuing it. This was in the 3.9.1 leaks. I'm shocked it...

I don't think the original had a rear facing remote turret. . .but I like it!

Good question.

EMPs no longer bypass shields. . .etc. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ezMkIR7hUs

The Rover is less interesting to me than the fact they plan a slew of F8s, a pair of Idris and a Javelin to all show up at the new space dock extension at once. I doubt the interiors of the cap ships are done, but that we'll see a real javelin is I think a first, isn't it?

I was looking at the 600i on Hardpoint the other day, and it gave me a painful reminder of the great heights from which we have fallen. If you'll recall, originally we were told in any gimble or turret you could step down a size and place two weapons. The Hardpoint calculator still says the...

Unless you're hoping to buy a new concept at rock bottom prices, there seems little point to me investing in ships not in game. You can always buy ships in the future, so why not buy what you can fly now? The Farerer will go through some changes but we don't understand them all just yet, so...

A new medium class from Consolidated or Crusader would be nice. At this point though, I'd like to see the Nova, X1, and the Titansuit. I'd also like to see a traditional gunboat like the Redeemer or a new Corvette. We're always clamering for something to pretend is a gunboat. How about a...

The Prowler's wing mounted S4s are gimballed. If you want fixed you could put S5s on.

Wait for vid of it tryin' to dodge missiles. It is not going to be stealthy when loaded for dogfighting. Need to see what it does with missiles. Looks to me any Vanguard can take this out from 6 km. Doesn't matter how trendy and sexy you are when you're dead.

Does the Carrack Turret fit?

So will there be a way to at least set an arbitrary direction so we can fly loose formations attached by scan radius?

Actually all the celestial bodies are fixed. Vehicles, weapons and asteroids are the only things moving. Stars, planets etc. do not move. This should not be hard.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yn_5p7IWo8&t=4s Just a few points to note. It takes three full seconds to charge for a single, powerful hit, and less than this to squeeze out a full burst. Given 12 points damage for each hit in the burst (11 suppressed), I don't see the point unless...
