I recall the Dire Hawk and the Shadow Hawk. That doesn't mean we'll get them. As for "ship of this size" there are quite a few people that, intentionally take bigger ships, like the Connie and 600i into combat. The Retaliator, Hammerhead, Persesus and Polaris are designed to be taken into...

I figure that while the flight model is changing, and should increase the differences when that happens, the relative comparison should stay the same. The Q&A specifically says the Zeus II should be less agile than the Spirit. The comparison between the Blue and the Spirit, should give an...

I see the MR and Blue being in the same tier, like the Hawk and Stalker are both Bounty Starters. My guess is the next tier is likely to be Connie/Tali size (both are mentioned as bounty hunting ships.)

CIG has also been clear they want multiple ships in the same space doing the same job. I don't really see the MR and Blue in different tiers for Bounty Hunting. More like here is two different ways to take the same target. One doesn't clearly outshine the other. Like the Stalker vs. the Hawk...

The Hawks (my wife and I each have one) definitely stay. We each also have a Blue and a CCU from Blue to MR. Most of our ships are paired so we fly with a wingman. I have a Liberator making it so the Hawks aren't really range limited. If the MR can't run things down and stay with them, it...

Erkul says the Blue has better Pitch and Yaw but the Spirit has better roll. Since Pitch and Yaw are equal the only need for roll is to change the direction of "up" for use of the main thrusters to strafe up. I thought the Blue was supposed to have better forward acceleration than it does...

The Q&A says the Spirit is supposed to fly better than the Zeus. Does anyone know how well the Spirit flies compared to the Cutlass Blue?

Since we know the Spirit is supposed to fly better than the Zeus II, how does the Spirit fly compared to the Cutlass Blue?

The Cyclone is slightly smaller than an Ursa. I certainly wouldn't count on a Fury fitting.

That is the current plan in this house. Two unapplied CCUs, one for each of us. We might end up with one MR and one Blue (to go with our pair of Hawks) too. IIRC the Cutlass is also supposed to get more rework than just Gold Standard pass as well. And we need more information on where...

After the Q&A, I'm left wondering if the MR is worth it over the Blue. I don't know if the performance is enough to do the job, and it is a 3 person crew. It's definitely prettier.

If it's going to fly about the same as a Blue, then the question becomes what are the crew positions.

Yes. It is all part of the variable, but it adds additional complications, and needs to be accounted for. It's not just object, location and vector (which could be a pair of base 16 numbers), the objects are mutable and can be containers. I'm thinking most objects will need to be stored as an...

Since things are supposed to be destructible and some things like guns and ships have a wear state and potentially a damage state the objects are mutable. Making the database have a longer string, or be a matrix variable, depending on how many states need to be stored. Further having objects...

Agreed!

A good part of Citcon still felt like feature creep. I hope they finally get going so maybe I can play a gold standard game before I die.

CIG finally did the one thing they needed to do. They finished something and declared it done. I wonder if the Starfield release prompted that. (My guess is that it did.)

That was Gouda.

That is the one the MSR wins, IIRC. The 350R and M50 were for the Murray Cup.

They show an Argo moving a 32 SCU container in the Hull-C promo. Perhaps that is this variant.
