Ehh, I really like the idea of one big gun on the ship. However, currently S1 to S2 to S3 to S4 to S5 to S6 to S7 makes hardly any difference in dps, and I'm a spreadsheet kinda guy, so if it doesn't look good on paper I'm going to pass. Maybe they'll implement some mechanic later that makes...

You're focusing on the wrong bit. You need to consider this: "every couple of quarters instead of every quarter". Every quarter is a patch. Every couple of quarters therefore is every second patch. So the teams are divided (possibly unevenly) to work on every second patch, but the work is...

Well, they said the teams are - split on multiple delivery dates - Those delivery dates are couple quarters apart - But staggered so that we still get a patch every quarter I mean, I don't really see many ways to interpret that? Apart from there possibly being 3rd division that is already...

Well

Yes, certainly. I'd like that very much myself. At least we know that Idris, Javelin, Hull-C are being worked on (though at least Hull-C is currently waiting for some new tech from another team)

Yes, I also suspect there will be some rebalancing. However, that only happens if people notice and talk of the problems with the current values, otherwise CIG might be fooled into thinking that no complaints means people actually like the current values.

Well, yeah. I think few made the point that we'd get the things promised more reliably, tho as I said at the time, for that to work they'd need to adjust their promises to their actual velocity. They wouldn't really be 'moved around', they'd still be working on the same feature they've been...

Well, with the amount and size of missiles an Ares has, I think it'll do enough damage thrice over to decimate Hull C. And sure, the Ares pilot doesn't really gain anything from it, but griefers rarely seek loot. Only destruction.

Yeah, I was contemplating on mentioning that. Could be they're also moving the people working on these features to the team working on 3.9, which would probably be the logical choice. Then they'll move few other people to work on 4.0 and join the team working on 3.8 when they start working on...

Yeah, which then means that Ares owners are going to be a bit disappointed. It's not a capital ship hunter, the Ion couldn't really even take out Large ships (Assuming they're using Sure Stop, their shields regen faster than Ion does damage. Those shields have no regen delay.) Then again, if...

Yeah, but even if you're on pip, they might just make a slight course alteration causing you to miss. Besides, anything better shielded than a Drake Buccaneer / Anvil Hornet F7C, and you'll need 2 hits within 20 seconds to damage them. Whereas if you had a ballistic weapon, you'd at least do 50%...

Ares is specifically meant to fight against larger ships. If you try to use a laser cannon with 2k dps to take down shields with 774521hp that regen 7k hpps with regen delay of 0s, you're going to have a bad time regardless of what range you do it at. If you get up close and personal with a gun...

Okey, so I was looking at the roadmap today. Staggered development would mean that 3.9 is halfway done, they've worked on it for 3 months, and they got 3 months to go. However, what I find kinda odd, is that there seems to be little to no progress on it. What's more, the cards that have...

I'll be there. Randomly starting "NOOO DON'T DO THAT" bandwagon in chat. With no indication as to what "that" is. Hmm... well, my first advice would've been to wait until you can get a mobo with DDR5 ram and PCIe5 slots sometime next year (and maybe they'd release next gen CPU architecture as...

Well, all the gatling rounds that miss are just ~60dmg wasted. Every Laser cannon round that misses is ~2750dmg wasted. If you want to take out small targets, I think firstly, ballistics is the way to go, and secondly, gatling. Saturate area and eventually that nimble ship will lose a thruster...

Ehh, either you can't swap that S7 laser cannon out and the ship will be kinda underwhelming, OR you can swap it out for S7 distortion scattergun, and the ship will be imba af. Seems to me someone ends up disappointed in anycase, whether they're looking up or down the barrel I can't say. Kinda...

Hmm, just happened upon this old Ship Shape for Hull C. Rather than all the earlier concept pictures with those whatever boxes, we actually know things about these, and since the video showed such good angel, we can do some math. At first glance, it would seem like the ship is carrying 5*3*8...

Yeah, I've been wondering about those buybacks as well. Got one that I'd rather get back. No hurry tho, it's not going to fluctuate in price for at least the next 6 months. So I'm not that anxious about it.

I had forgotten about that video, but now that you mention it, yeah. Idris has been quite far along for a long while, tho during that video they were obviously very early implementations. And you're right, could very well be they're sitting on them. But hey, SQ42 will come out next year and the...

Yes. They die, police will investigate and nobody gets charged once they find out a wantonly open door was involved. I imagine it's the same in Canada?
