    Ship advice

    SC appears to be set up very similarly to the way Mechwarrior and before it, Battltech, were designed. In fact many of the weapons are the same. Energy weapons have the benefit that they never run out of ammo, so if you're flying into missions like deep penetration, where you don't know you...

    Ship advice

    I think subscribers can fly Sabres for free this month, but you can't put whatever weapon on you like. You have to fly with what they give you, which is what is described on the ships comparison page. Is that right? BTW, I just saw a vid with DanGeesling flying 4 S3's on his Sabre, and it is...

    Ship advice

    Can you take a moment please, and tell us what the difference is between flying this radar and the standard radar, and then how it affects your flying? Not just what it looks like in the hud, but how you use the extended ability of the Long-Reach? I am fascinated by the whole EM warfare thing...

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

    LOL. . .such a great way to wake up gulping coffee and misting the plants when it comes out my nose like that. Yes, by all means. I think they may be highly underrated. Their stats are very different than the 3MA, but they are not technically as different as you might imagine. If when the...

    Ship advice

    A wise man in my position--one who has never flown in SC--would not answer this question. There are plenty of experts here. I will however capitalize on my ignorance for once and share an opine that has served me well in similar games. Firepower, speed, agility, range, range of weapons...

    Well you know those Pirate bastards stole them anyway. We ought to recover them and search for their previous owners. Anyone looking for a Cat, a dozen Dragonflies, a few Cutlass and some Bucks, we should go get some. Has anyone taken on the little pirate bands flying around Comm stations...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Ah. Okay. That makes good sense.

    So the only way to downsize one step and put two weapons is on a turret?

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Ah. . .I forgot about the latest, and much more complex weapons system. That may well be, which would dearly suck. It really depends upon the pipes and they haven't released the piping system yet. Do you even have info on where the power from your reactor is going? Is there a power...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    I don't understand what you'r saying. The Saber has 2S3 fixed and 2S3 Gimbaled. That's 8 S2 slots. If you use all Sledge II's you pull like I,600 power, but they never overheat. There's a question how much ammo you can carry, but that seems secondary to me. Some of the nice things about the...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Has anyone put 8 Sledge's on the Sabre? Does it have enough reactor power for that kind of setup? Has anyone used the Sledge for attacks out at 5-7 km? Can you hit at that distance?

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

    I want to own half a dozen ships but I'm not sure I will. I think everyone ought to have at last one fighter, and it looks like I'll pick a Sabre. I love the Reliant so I'm sure I'll get a Tana. I want a Carrack but there are a lot of them and I don't need to be the captain. I'm happy to...

    Toasted salt and onion, with cream cheese please. No, none of those fishes. . .

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

    Its good to keep in mind though, that a blind man could hit the Star-G by spitting downwind. You can kill that thing with almost any other ship. Probably a Lancer could kill it very easily from 5 km, even if it had the same guns. The Redeemer can still dodge. How well we don't yet know. I...

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

    I work in development of these kinds of radar and communications systems, intended for use in deep space. It is very cool stuff, but CIG is going to be relying upon some game dynamics we don't yet have the technology for. My company is developing that technology now, so you'll see it in the...

    Interesting that they say the system has 7 jump points and the map only shows 5: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15406-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy Also of note this is the home of Anvil, Origin and the Xi'an corporation Gyso which runs CTR refusing stations all...

    Fly the missions. Looks fun and easy to make pesos in little time. Pick up weapons, booze (which you can apparently sell), cigars, etc. And there are apparently a bunch of Easter Eggs already set at GrimHex, waiting for players. Also note, I think I heard the other day that Olisar will be...

    GrimHex

    Just some random thoughts: If like many of the players posting their adventures on youtube, you still are not wearing armor, it is probably best not go to GrimHex. Wear armor. I have seen a PC take a hit from an electric shotgun at point blank range and kill his attacker, because he was...
