It’s not just that $230M is an insane amount of money to spend, but in addition they spent on the order of $100M on marketing, and this was all AFTER Bob Iger instructed Kathleen Kennedy to cut back the costs of the project. People will recall, after the show tanked, Iger fired the entire...

It’s a copy of all the storyline theatrical vid from the game, start to finish—basically gives you the story of the game. I personally thought it intriguing. I think complaints that the story was boring or predictable were a bit harsh. I admit I am not the game connoisseur that others here are...

So viewer has the Terrapin with two S1 scanners and one S3 scanner. Anyone know what’s up with this? https://www.spviewer.eu/performance?ship=anvl_terrapin

So in case anyone cares, the Acolyte drama creeps on with revelations the reports of spending $187M were inaccurate. Rather, seems Headlund indulged herself in spending over $230M. That’s astonishing. Can you imagine telling your boss “oh btw, I spent $130M over budget, right after you told...

Yes well, when Apollo ended, the will to spend collapsed as it was built upon Cold War space penis envy, rather than a sincere yearning for exploration. The human space flight program was cut down to 1/10 what it had been and its goals pruned back to building large structures in Low Earth Orbit...

I’ll be happy for big ships to simply have huge ballistics magazines so we don’t need to reload. Fine with me. CIG promised us huge utility from workbenches that can be had no other way, including making improvements on weapons and armor. Though they said this when they released the Carrack...

This is all fascinating and exciting, but it also raises red flags about details, and there are a few things they didn’t speak on that have me concerned. It sounds like life support can be enhanced to provide for more characters (PCs and NPCs) but this requires a greater power budget. So...

What is supposed to happen is every time a crimestat player appears in core world space, half dozen security flying Penguins and such show up, and a contract is simultaneously issued through the bounty system. The security craft merely need to delay players who show up in Redeemers and such and...

This is perhaps a good time to remind folks, SC is not a game yet. We’re not players. We’re play-testers. So the whole notion of grinding doesn’t actually make much sense. It’s really far smarter to focus on learning the game mechanics than playing high Rick roulette by trading, mining, etc. In...

I would wait to decide. There are two issues. First, somewhere near thirty ships are about to get serious rework. Some of this is good and some is not. The 400i recently lost its stealth status. If it gets it back, it could become the premium explorer. Right now, the 315P is still the premium...

That is a good way to go, but you know me. I am a little addicted to seeing without being seen. The Firebird’s signature is half what the Pisces is, and it can kill opponent scouts and fighters at 25km. So there’s that. But it does take up three times the deck space of a Pisces. If you wanted...

That’s a great idea. I usually think in terms of playing against AI because I plan to play the Sons of Orion storyline, killing Vanduul. Against players you need to be more cagey. And it is also a great excuse to put a med bed in the field. I think you could make a great argument for keeping a...

Absolutely I agree the Polaris needs as many scouts as it can get, but the Razor is smaller, faster and harder to hit than the Pisces, so I’m not sure why you would use a Pisces. Four Razors, three Pisces or two Terrapins will fit in the hanger. The Terrapin has a bed and S2 scan, and a small...

If you need to land troops, the Pisces is good, but the Terrapin is better. If you’re trying to save deckspace to fit as many scouts as possible, the Razor EX has a lower sig than the Pisces, is much faster and maybe we can cut the wings off and stack a dozen in the Polaris bay. They are...
