    I am totally lost. I was under the impression the Jav has 2 S10 (Cap Killer) guns and 11 AA turrets of indeterminate size--but I was guessing quad S4s, plus undetermined missiles. I thought the Jav already made a quick appearance and had had its weapons fitout determined so I don't get the...

    I'm obviously missing something. I thought Large shields were putting out like 115k HP and cap shields were spec'd for 1M HP. The Jav is spec'd for 4C and 4L shields for a HP max of 4.460M HP with insane refresh. If that's still so I don't see how any group recommended thus far is going to...

    Fleet compositions

    For a long range hunting party a Polaris with a handful of M50 scouts may prevail. For an inexpensive dive into PVE hunting, I recommend a lone Liberator, 3 Eclipse, 9 M50 escorts for the Eclipse and a Lancer MIS for cover fire. That's a cheap entry to fleet actions that only takes about 14...

    1 Javelin and 4 Gladius to kill the incoming Eclipse. or 6 Eclipse and 14 Gladius if you're the hunter rather than the hunted It will always be more advantageous to be the hunter rather than the hunted. I think you need to set the scene with more details of the environ before you can make a...

    Starter ship for a first timer

    All the ship choices you're considering are poor combat choices, made so you can do both combat and hauling. I recommend you wait 2 weeks to do any significant combat and start with a 315i. Depending upon the time you have, you can easily earn half million aUEC/day flying the 890 Jump mission...

    Weapons refactor, turrets and more in Star Citizen patch 3.17

    I'm annoyed by the refactor. There was plenty enough diversity in game as proven by the fact players varied so widely over their choice of weapon. Most players carry SMGs despite the rifles are much better, so OBVIOUSLY there was plenty of diversity in choice. They originally made the best...

    Star Atlas continues to try copy Star Citizen with a hangar module

    It's easy for me to respect Chris Roberts for his work on SC. He's pursuing a passion to create the best game he can imagine. It's hard to respect Star Atlas. They're creating a clone because they think Roberts had a great idea, and with it they can maybe make money. SC is the best of...

    Scorpius expectations?

    Some of that is right. Most of it is wrong. The F22 was not cancelled in favor of the NGAD. The production line was closed for the F22 more than two decades before the NGAD was a gleam in the Pentagon's eye. The F35 is not going to replace the A10. In all its three versions, it is a...

    Ukraine

    I don't want to respond to each response because then we will inevitably fall into partisan viewpoints and disagree. My interest was merely to ask people to ask themselves why this is happening. Had we sent 1/4 the military aid two months ago, that we agreed to send two days ago, no one would...

    Ukraine

    "In 2018, the Ukrainians bought 210 missiles and 37 launchers. Then they purchased 150 missiles and 10 launchers in 2019. They have reportedly already used these a handful of times, according to a November 2021 report." 47 Javelins is not enough to defend thousands of miles of boarder either...

    Ukraine

    Four years ago, the House stopped shipments to Ukraine--all but 37 Javelins. 37 weapons to defend a country almost as large as Texas is nothing but show. Javelins are primarily defensive weapons. The only reason to keep them from Ukraine is if you think you can profit off their fall to Russia...

    Ukraine

    I hesitate to make this post, and if it is removed, I will not be offended. I would like to make a handful of completely non-partisan observations as regard the details of this war and the astonishing propaganda being shoveled at all the major news networks here in the US. Observations: 1)...

    Scorpius expectations?

    The ability to position for a missile shot is a function of speed, maneuverability, observability and sensor lock range-. Sixth generation fighters are not designed for dog-fighting, which by definition references use of a gun. Modern fighters--those being designed in light of the terrible...

    Refueling

    Reviewing videos again on the new refueling game loop coming out in a few weeks and here are a few details I missed which supermacbrother highlighted : A- an escrow will be used to transfer the money between players. B- the refueling ship will have a new hud specific to mange the process of the...

    Scorpius expectations?

    Sorry, but that's just not so. Dogfighters like the F-22 have low wing loading (377kg/m^2). That's what makes them air superiority craft. The F-35 is a flying brick because it has such high wing loading (525kg/m^2), but it doesn't matter because it is not intended to ever use its gun.

    Selling Lootz

    View: https://youtu.be/mw_YMaBFPeA Some things to try: use the Gallant with scope, light and suppressor. Fly a 300 series and park it in the hangar for easy looting. Drop a gun and suit of armor in the med bay when you set your spawn point. With lootz, this is now a 200k/hour mission. 20...

    God bless for helping in Ukraine. I'm curious why you waited for Putin to be marching on Kiev. For all his blundering it doesn't seem there's much to stop him now, or are the reports in error?

    IRL, total mass devided by control surface and flight surface area deternmines "wing loading" which is a fair measure of maneuverability. High wing loading is why the F-35 is such a shitty dog-fighter. Note most modern combat is just position and shoot missiles, so high maneuverability is not...
