I personally favor the Arrow, because it depends upon higher agility, and that suits me. Also, I prefer the Arrow because I believe that when we finally get to running the Sons of Orion storyline, we'll be doing deep incursions into Vanduul space that require some sort of carrier, and that we...

Just a quick question. The meta for combat fighting always seems to be the Gladius. However, the Talon has the same SCM and top speed, same range, more hull, same shield, same weapons damage (except that the Talon's S4s hit out to another km), and if reports are accurate--the Talon accelerates...

View: https://youtu.be/KO_SA8gYUzE Note she starts out with the Gallant set on 3 round burst, and switches to 5 round burst. The former seems much more effective. Later on she is emptying 4 squeezes of 5 rounds into a single target and it barely goes down. I think the recoil must be enough...

Another point to keep in mind for 3.19, it should be the first patch where we’ll be able to swap components in the field. So if you’re flying a medium ship or larger, or a small ship with an actual cabin (300 series), you should for example be able to fly a Civilian A q-drive for max range/speed...

Sorry I missed this and posted a duplicate. I’m on my phone so can’t delete it but I’m sure it will die quickly. I’m personally hoping for two things here. First, that we’ll be able to flip a switch in the cockpit and ships like the 315 will autoload their cargo spaces. It needs to be powerful...

Earliest reports are the patch is surprisingly stable. So good news thus far.

Yes, due any second.

That wasn't my take away at all. My take away was a bit of shock that so many people think their opinion in this matter, matters, when Chris has always been consistent in noting he will not release it until it is finished. "It will be done when it is done." The whining is just childish...

I hate that they invented yet a third S4 EMP and gave it better stats than the others. 1100M radius beats the 750 and 900 M radius of the others and CIG does not allow us to swap them. Why poke the bear? I fail to see the point.

"High performance ramp" cracked me up.

The FBI and DOE can both be made to reverse their official position. All it takes is for Trump to say the virus is from the lab.

This is a bug. If you look at the extraction rates on the split screen, it is clear that salvaging intact hulls is intended to extract faster than extracting from pieces. He's just not reading his gauges.

The last official image I have seen has the knee joint of the suit at the foot of the driver, and that knee slides on a rail down the front of the suit shin to the foot of the suit. So what you have is a suit that is only about 7' tall when shipping, but closer to 10' tall when in use...

I'm still hoping for a long-range crew of 3 stealth recon scout with quad S9 torp launchers. An oversized version of the Tana would be bangin'.

Great stuff. Hopefully we'll see the Tally modules get some love. It'd be nice to see a module for the Titansuit for the Valkyrie and perhaps even the Carrack as well. I don't know how much players actually care about using S1 weapons for FPS. I still have yet to see a careful tutorial of...

Agreed. Though I think a better first response craft would be a fully crewed Redeemer. I like this idea a lot.

Em. . .what he said. Do we even need to argue about this? If players want to cope with the hardships of mining, or transport, or scavenging, or whatever, more power to them. For most of us, the game is a break from reality. We don't want another job. We want an adventure. Do I need to...

Combat is not like mining. Success in mining, transport, salvage, etc. is measured by a single variable--cash/time. Combat's vast variability makes it significantly different. Players actually gravitate to different fighters based upon their skills, styles and situation. That is not true of...

I will respectfully disagree. While virtually all players have reasons to participate in combat, only a fraction participate in mining, salvage, transport, etc. Players need a choice between solo and multi-crew. Choices beyond this would result in one ship becoming the meta and others being...
