    Polaris looks good in pyro

    Well keep in mind, the Sabres are all medium fighters with stealth. To be fair, it should run away if it’s facing more than four fighters. That is a lot, however, and it doesn’t need to go looking for a fight. It needs to scout, and to shepherd torps onto target, which means flying with them...

    Polaris looks good in pyro

    For Polaris scouts you want low sig, speed, high scan, low deck footprint ( to fit more than 1) and a bonus is lethality. The Terrapin seems to fit all but the last, but it is not fast nor lethal enough to cope with enemy scouts. So yeah, the Firebird looks pretty full of awesome. If we can cut...

    Polaris looks good in pyro

    So the Polaris is in Erkul. Interesting numbers. EM and IR are 16-17k. Its S3 missiles have a lock range of 25km and the S10 torps lock out to 40km. EM is easy to drop to 2k by shutting stuff off. The IR won’t go below 16k even with the reactor off, which is probably an issue with Erkul. It...

    The Truth is Out There

    I once read a book about dragons that claimed they are real and hiding in wilderness settings all over the world, but that we’re not familiar with them because of their potent “mimic” ability. They supposedly have such great camouflage that they’re near impossible to spot even when you get a...

    Avenger__1 video on ship combat as of 3.24

    Yes, CIG has a huge interest in protecting PvE. Note too, piracy is pretty easily tamed by sheer numbers of even moderately competent security, and turning an interesting if trivial combat into a lethal one is simple. Don’t have 2 security Avengers. Have 8. There are many simple fixes. It’s...

    The Acolyte

    So, I imagine since this has been moved to where no one can find it, it’s okay to give an update. A lot has happened on this topic that refuses to die. Lots of actors are suing Disney, Kathleen Kennedy has been ranting at Bob Iger, questions raised about whether Kennedy is staying as planned...

    The Truth is Out There

    Who is the guy with the theory that lizard people live in the center of the Earth? I think he sold a bunch of books.

    Ship numbers question

    I hope this doesn’t come across as a wet blanket, but IMHO; it’s much more important to identify crew than game loops you want to play Captain in. The ‘verse is gonna be full of disgruntled Captains who purchased expensive ships and never flew them because they never pulled a crew together...

    Avenger__1 video on ship combat as of 3.24

    I don’t think we’re going to have a problem. Avenger is very, very good at what he does, but he has tunnel vision and seldom understands anything other than what he sees. Worse still, he is so committed to weilding this huge difference between skilled and unskilled pilots, as Montoya says; he’s...

    Mech suit teaser

    The trouble with the Marauder and King Crab is the backward folding knee. It makes for decent speed, but it causes the Mech to bounce severely which can affect aim. If you want to dominate in the Assault class, choose the Highlander, with Black Carapace for self healing, partial wings for...

    Next Gen VTT

    For those who use or are interested in Virtual Table Top Role Playing Games, Foundry has taken it to the next level. Choosing Glass Cannon to showcase it was a good call. I’m a fan of their Pathfinder 2e campaigns. They pulled off this demo pretty well. So Table Top is not quite dead yet...

    The Truth is Out There

    Lol! That is funny. Whenever we think seriously about conspiracy theories, we’re faced with the fact the powers that be, whatever they are; are not trustworthy. So even though I’m not given to conspiracies, I will own they must exist and likely we have no idea what they are. A few weeks ago...

    Mech suit teaser

    Well, we all know every profession in game will have its economics reset at beta, so worrying about it now serves nothing. Hauling will always pay and hauling in the danger zone will pay much more than in safe spaces. Let’s not complain until they screw it all up. I’m most interested in the...

    Mech suit teaser

    ::yawn:: Okay so yeah. They delivered something. Trouble is it doesn’t do anything you can’t do with a hand held tractor. So it’s just taking up space. It does have interesting dynamics and if they add armor and weapons, maybe they’ll be worth having. That’s a big maybe. With armor, a shield...

    Mech suit teaser

    There are quite a few pics of what the Titansuit should look like. Note the rail on the top of the lower leg. It appears the joint above it slides down the rail to lower the suit in order to squeeze into ships and such. This is the only suit or Mech I’ve seen with this innovation. I hope they...

    There’s no interaction because you have bullied everyone else away. They’re obviously not allowed to discuss what you don’t approve of. OTOH, neither of you need to open this thread. You could instead pretend to be adults. The advent of one Star Wars site trying to cancel three others is...

    Disney

    I couldn’t get through this whole vid, but it is worth noting Rachael Zegler is suing Disney for cancelling a bunch of projects she had contracted, including three promotional appearances for Snow White. You’d expect that. Her lawyers want her to get paid the millions she would have had the...
