    Best Jailbreak Ride?

    I've been curious about the elevators, since it sounds like the 400i uses 2 or 3 of them and thus has no ladder or ramp. Should be interesting to see what that's like. It should be higher off the ground so no kneeling to get underneath. I'm told the 300's are so low you can't even get a Nox...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    The ARGO is useful, if you need to move cargo or prisoners from one cap ship to another, it's probably the cheapest vehicle for that, and can fit in tiny space aboard your cap ship. It's in SC vids years before it was released. Thing is, we don't even have the cap ships yet, and why would you...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    The C8X is a lot of ship in a tiny space. Had they made it fast, I think lots of people would use it.

    Ship showdown predictions?

    No one wants to be a wet blanket smothering other people's fun. It's not as if I hadn't considered whether I'm too sensitive to this issue. Let me explain a moment why I think I'm not. During the late 80's and early 90's I was both an undergrad and graduate student in philosophy of...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I hope you're right. I can't help though, thinking of trolls as defined by the term "chaotic evil" in the D&D tradition. Chaotic evil does evil for the sake of evil, with no gain to be found. They ruin anything good for no reason other than that they can. Unlike lawful evil, which does evil...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I am disappointed that this competition attracted so many trolls, intent to subvert even the simplest playtime competition. It bodes evil for the game, that there are so many trolls they could come close to winning the competition. It bodes worse that these spoiled...

    The ARGO has no Q Drive.

    Starting Over

    Another decent smuggling vid. Note that the 315P not only has 50% more cargo and higher speed than the Titan, but it has 40% more quantum range, which means oyu get to choose that faster drive. View: https://youtu.be/pgrIGWMn_WI

    Best Jailbreak Ride?

    What makes the best jailbreak pickup ride? Anyone here who has done a jailbreak, what did you use for the getaway? What are the prime requisites? I keep seeing Carracks despite they seem ill suited to the task. I'm thinking fast, quick loading, easy to handle in atmo, fast, maybe stealth...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    You know if they had put decent cooling into the ARGO it could have been used as a stealth boarding ship, but they didn't even put S1s in. It's like they said "lets make the shittiest ship ever" when they designed the thing.

    Ship showdown predictions?

    Given the Argo beat out the Carrack, I think we can all ignore this entire process, as corrupted by those who made a joke of it. The top three rated ships certainly should be Carrack, C2 and MSR and the C2 only because it is still fresh. Carrack really should be second, IMHO.

    Fifth anniversary in TEST Squadron!

    Happy fifth! Isn't there a rule, on your fifth you buy the house a round? I'm sure there's a rule somewhere. . .

    Armor

    Yes, it's been a problem since the mission was first released, but as I said it's easy to avoid. Don't try to shoot over the glass even though they are doing it. I have wondered if this doesn't reflect the "defense bonus" CIG has mentioned they intend to place in all boarding missions. Somehow...

    Armor

    So far as I'm aware, the NPCs can only shoot through a short glass wall atop one staircase, while PCs cannot. So long as you're aware of this you can just move to the staircase. They're very unlikely to fix the problem since the wall has a handrail that would block some shots and not others.

    Armor

    Purely based upon stats, I favor the Gallant over all other weapons. Take a peek here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16LuddI3xsVsIk6lRBrQ8SZEIgAsXGmpTsB1Hss6AYjM/edit#gid=869785434 You'll see in cell 8U on the spreadsheet that the Gallant does 66.98 damage on a single burst (and it...

    Armor

    I wasn't aware CIG was now allowing players to pilot while wearing Heavy torso. That was not the case for a long time. How many are running around with all heavy, three guns, four grenades and a prayer no one shoots at them? Anyone here not aware of the movement calculator, hit speeds...

    A thread for folks to think and endlessly rethink their home away from home. What do you like/dislike about armor suits? What mix and match do you find entices you? How much weight under what conditions do you usually carry? And mystery question bonus points: what's the heaviest armor you...
