Alright, so the other thread about trading got me thinking about ship to ship combat and how it's quite fastpaced right now. Any ship piloted by an NPC goes down in milliseconds right now, smaller ships can take like one salvo, and even the only capital ship currently in the game, with...

At this stage, Lucasfilm could just do a movie about senate debating things, and it would still be a blockbuster. Wait, they did. And it was. Anyhow, yeah. Looking forward to pretty much every new Star Wars movie at this point.

Currently in game, depending on armor and weapon used, it takes anywhere between "No time flat" and "Wow I'm being shot at I'll jump behind this cover, med pen, phew I survived, now I'll just try to find where they were shooting me from... Ah there, back to cover and... oh there were two and the...

So, just now I took 300k worth of drugs to Grim Hex. On my Gemini. Everything is going as planned, I get to the terminal, sell the first 30k. Figure I'll either spend the next hour doing this or hop the servers a bit. So I hop server, I go to the terminal and... my ship is greyed out on the...

It takes 52 seconds for me to QD again (or 72 if QD bugs only once), I think flying is a bit faster. It usually goes like this: Terminal says "Hangar 03". I got to hangar 03, my ship is not in hangar 03. Idk, perhaps it's bugged for me specifically.

Woah, wait. If you're just going to have a GTX 1070 in there with an I5, this is probably not a good idea. https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator Your system would be hitting like 450W MAX (if you add a bunch of fans and HDDs etc. not listed here). Corsair RM1000x efficiency curve...

Reststops are the most dangerous of them all, they leave you infuriating distance from the target, you got to spin around thrice and pray to RNGsus to find the landingpad, do your trade, head back and sacrifice a goat this time whilst praying to RNGsus, Jahmble and Allihn all at once to find the...

pm me the link, I can poke it a bit, see if it's "blatantly obvious scam" or just "maybe a scam". (I'm a software engineer with minor in IT security)

Yes, I don't mean the ship would actually be empty, I'm just saying the pirates could perceive it as empty due to lack of escorts. The point is, you wouldn't break into the house that has no front door, you break into the house that has triple lock on the door, because THOSE people have...

That is an excellent question. I was quite sure I used the right acceleration numbers to calculate the time it takes to reach top speed... but I guess my insomnia got in the way and I used the wrong formula, solved t from s = vt + 1/2at^2, which I needed to check the *distance* the hoplite would...

I've been talking about Starfarer Gemini the whole time, but I see the confusion now. :) I thought beam was the central piece of wood running the length of the ship? Well, I'm probably mistaken. I see the position you mean now, but I don't see how you'd keep up. If the tanker is moving 1050...

But I hear Sonic-Showers cause ear cancer! We must campaign against sonic-showers, to save our future future generations of slightly inconvenient cancer treatment!

Last time I tried discussing anything about coming up with formulas for hired crew, escorts, etc. it turned ugly ;__; Anyhow, the way I'd do it is escorts get a cut of the profits once you return from the trip. I think the most fair system would include consideration for how big of a risk...

Or could be that pirates who see a ship without escorts will assume it's empty. I mean, what sort of a dummy would go around without escorts? Capturing an empty ship is not worth the effort. Now if the ship has escorts, you know they're transporting something valuable enough to warrant escorts...

Not quite sure if that's the best direction. It'll only take a second to aim 4xS5 + 2xS6 at anything roughly in front of it. And that's also where all the missiles are. Well, if you're shooting from the max range, 9km, then sure, you probably wouldn't be detected. But Gemini has very good...

Well, it really depends on how much those escorts would slow you down and how frequently you'd really need them. Like if the trip takes 3 times as long because of coordinating with your escorts for a slower quantum travel, but you only get attacked every 3 runs and your ship can handle running...

Aren't spike missiles just for establishing connection to the targets computer, so you can attempt to hacking it? Assuming it does, you'd still need to get to 2200m or closer. While it's the heaviest duty EMP module at the moment, I'm not sure if it would work against heavier ships outright...

Chances are I'd already be decoupled and spinning to rotate new shields against the distortion damage if the hoplite has gotten that close. Well, you could try to go around, but with 133 m/s speed difference, and a circular radius of 5km, that is going to take a while. That starfarer will be...

Hmm, not quite sure how exactly distortion damage works currently, didn't they redo it a patch or two ago? Isn't it disabling the part that it hits, not everything in the whole ship? Also, I seem to recall it mentioned somewhere that larger components / etc. dissipate distortion damage faster...

Distilled spirits all the way 🍺 It's supposedly roughly 2x the current cargo space of the Starfarer (excluding Starfarers outside containers). Also, since we know a Nova Tank can fit through the cargo bay door, we also know that snubs will fit. Meaning that you could very likely fit 6 merlins...
