Yes well the question is what did CIG mean in this instance by the word "abilities"? This could be interpreted more than one way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. My memory, which is not perfect; is that they were specific that the original BUKs did not change the armor nor reactor...

Each of the Vanguard frames has a single advantage over the others, regardless of what you put in with the BUK/module. IIRC, the Warden has speed, the Hoplite has hull points, the Harbinger has an S3 turret and the Sentinel has stealth. Right now the Sentinel stats are fubar but one supposes...

To be clear, the Vanguard has never had a buff. The difference in survivability of the Sentinal is all because of the EMP. Years ago Vanguards were easy to take down if you got really close and optimized against their poor turn rates. Now with the EMP, savvy pilots won't bull rush a Sentinel...

5 fixed hits the target so no reason to go smaller. Right now cannons do seem to be the better choice as noted above, but weapon stats are all nerfed and deliberately screwy, and you should not expect any of them to stay as is. CIG is messing with all the stats on a daily basis, so even...

The stealth on the Sentinel seems to be temporarily fubar, so it is not really wise to optimize around it at present despite how much you may want to launch missiles out of the inky black. Despite this I always choose the Eclipse reactors as they appear to be plenty of power. No word on...

Someone may have been confused that your sentence will go away over time if you get sent to prison. Currently if you cooperate and mine, a 7 hour sentence is over in 20 minutes. It is more fun to remove the crimestat, however. I say that everyone needs to know FPS combat and how to remove a...

Everyone should know how to clear a crimestat. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube to choose from.

What is the reason to mix rather than go for quad shots? Are you getting different locks at different times?

I don't know her handle. Apparently she has too many guys chase her when she plays to share that. We bumped into each other in another SC forum.

This below is what they were planning about half decade ago. I'm only aware of a single update: 2-3 years ago there was a press release that the Vanduul had attacked and destroyed an Outsider outpost on Leir with a pair of Void Bombers. Void Bombers cannot fit through the small wormhole out of...

Actually the Lancer is the largest ship that will fit through a small wormhole, but you're right. The A does have an advanatge in that it can go places the Lancer cannot. It will be interesting to see if it gains a stealth advantage as well. The move to small avionics is not one in the right...

I don't think the Hull A market can sustain a price increase. It's already $80 and the Lancer, which is twice the ship; is $110. Scorpius may go up.

I totally agree with voting with your wallet, and I think that's exactly what we have seen. We live in an age when minority opinions lack humility and restraint, and often try to drown out the more sensible majority. It's because we vote with our wallets that the loud minority has failed so...

Well said.

I didn't recommend Tiara look for great flexibility. Rather, I suggested she wait to develop fighter, mining, bounty hunting and hauling skills until she has learned FPS, stealth, and many simple gameplay dynamics. I'm a firm believer everyone should have at least two ships unless all they want...

Anyone see the vid of the Idris one-shotting a Carrack at 30 km? Was stopped and unloading apparently and then all at once BOOM!

Scorpius and Hull A coming?

I've had an IP waiting to develop for years that is totally next generation firearms. It stands head and shoulders above the best battle rifles known today in about a dozen ways. The problem is, it will take about ten million dollars and five years to develop. That's a steep ask. The IP is...

Maze is 400 aUEC/unit. That's 40,000/SCU and 160,000 for the extra 50% haul in the 315 over the Titan. 480,000 total. Profit is 40-60% of this. Since drugs are available in lots larger than 12 SCU, that cargo space is all useful, which is not true of the Nomad. The 315's greater range...

Agreed. The Stalker is a far better fighter than the 315P, but the Titan is only slightly better since it is slower, so you really need to choose strength or cargo.
