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

    It reminds me of learning to play pool. Once you can aim and shoot you know half the game. The hard half, the part many casual players never even begin to explore, is cue placement or where you leave the cue ball after you shoot, so you have easier shots and can shoot again and again. Same...

    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...

    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...
