"New here ready to crash and have fun." Welcome! This is TEST. "Crash" and "Have Fun" are synonymous. Often accompanied, encouraged, and enabled by flying under the influence .. Jump into Discord and join the active crew there!

@White Lando A fair question, especially since all of these ships have limited application and/or serious drawbacks. So my thoughts - Which ship really depends on how you want to play. Cliche, yes, but true. Using DPS as a guide is going to be misleading. Bombers are tools of opportunity, as...

Catch up with me sometime and you can fly mine. It is not yet a terribly useful ship; John Crewe has stated he doesn't consider it a medium fighter. CR called it a 'resilient datarunner' at release. It's undergunned, has no missiles, using the EMP is fussy, and is less agile than a light...

Welcome back :) I was an EvE Uni instructor for a while, specialized in scouting and EW ops. The BoB wars pulled me out to 0.0 and I stayed with the game for about 10 years before giving up on the path the developer was taking. And personally, Archer. You can change the question conditions...

Your 315p is a solid ship that allows play in a couple of areas now and has much more gameplay on the way. This is the ship that hooked me into SC and I always keep at least one around. It is not geared toward PvP but handles PvE quite well. It's fast, has outstanding QT range for it's size...

Despite all the changes the Vanguards have endured, they are still very solid ships. Until the Ares were released, I was running ERT's in the Sentinel. It's fitted with GVSR's on the nose to burn smaller ships. I switch those off and turn on the Size 5 Omnisky for the HH. It's nowhere near as...

There is another option besides wracking through your existing Windows install - set up a completely separate SSD. This may sound like a pain in the ass as well; might be for you. But I've found a number of reasons to have multiple SSD's with different op systems/configurations, and it is BY...

Been feeling for a while now that when it happens, we will get more than just Pyro. The gameplay reveal at CitizenCon demonstrated a very important point - that there is more content going into these systems than just the landing zones listing in the ARC Starmap. It will be awesome (and...

Taxes..??? I'll figure my own donations to the beer fund, thank you very much AND You can pry my calculator from my cold, dead hands... (which happens a couple of times a week in this patch, at least, and as I have yet to make it back to my body, it's there for the taking). @Lordgarrett99 not...

Some mostly coherent thoughts on your questions.. Corsair is very unlikely to fit in an Endeavor. Cutty is supposed to, Apollo has been hinted as 'possibly'. 600i is getting a major interior rework to include a med bed. The gameplay provided is expected to go well beyond what the Corsair will...

To engage on Discord, and get back into the TEST events. There are folks here putting a lot of effort into the "GAME" aspect of TEST gaming. Other 'resolutions' are already happening as actions :)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Holiday Season, whatever you prefer to call it. For all of you who engage here on the forums, THANK YOU, for the gift of your time and thoughts. I shall be TESTing some fully leaded eggnog in your honor tonight today immediately.

Part of the problem at hand is that CIG has not fully explained the injury levels and related treatments. So, more to come. Conceptually though, it seems to run along these lines - medpen = mask symptoms multitool = mask symptoms with less chance of overdose magic med raygun = better healing...

Hey.. now there is an idea. They might be expensive LTI tokens, but since they are paid for... hmmm. I do have a BMM ccu that hasn't been used yet..

No. SCM is mostly irrelevant in gameplay at this time. Do not know if it will be emphasized more in the future. The Cutlass Steel is currently limited to 900 m/s in afterburner. That's over 100 m/s slower than the Sentinel, Hoplite and Harbinger, and over 200 m/s behind the Warden. I can see...

Retracted for typing without paying attention - Anyone taking bets on what the nerf will be? "Because it's made of Steel, it doesn't actually need any shield generators.. for balance, you understand". @Shadow Reaper - The Hoplite has a bigger gun on the nose, 2 shields, redundant power...

He's out near the end of the range, so with that in mind what he shows seems pretty accurate. Roughly speaking anything over 1km I can be inside the pip and watch 4 or 5 shots slip past the target. Getting closer helps of course, but that's not the Ion's forte. The Ion will work fine in it's...

Not fake. Either the spread or the Aim Assist has been altered. Source - me, after several hours in PTU last night.

@White Lando I'm running CF-557's on the Redeemer's main turrets. Same velocity projectile as the stock gatlins; at size 5 you are limited to 700 m/s until further notice. Being lasers, it becomes easy for a small crew to run up a string of bounty missions in short order, or physically beat...

There was quite a bit of discussion when tractor beams came into the game for the multitool. The idea CIG expressed at the time was that if the ships shields are up, a tractor beam would have a very difficult time holding on to a ship. If you go back and look at the Q&A for the SRV you should...
