    DOGE pays off for DiscoLando!

    IMHO, all crypto schemes are ponzi schemes and ought to be illegal. They are not currencies of legitimate nations. They thus do not produce either a product nor a service. Because they do not produce at all, they can only leave debt to later investors, which is what a ponzi scheme is...

    Are we getting a new concept soon?

    Guesses on the 400i, competing with the Lancer, Cutty and Vanguard. Small cargo, S2 quantum, 2 S3 turrets, 2 S3 gimbals , 3 S2 reactors, 1 S3 shield, 3 S2 coolers. This could make a great stealth build, and if it handles as well as a Vanguard or Cutty, the 2 S4 fixed guns make it pretty...

    Invictus Launch Week 2951 - Hercules Starlifter Thread

    Such a beautiful ship, inside and out. I have been waiting for more detail to come out to comment, but I did want to share one concern I have with the C2. It is still my choice, but it is a concern. The C2 is max 2 crew. There are no gun stations. The copilot has control of one of the two rear...

    Ship and Pilot: Quantum Drive fuel Curves

    Keep in mind that the drives are of sufficiently small size that large frieghters can carry spares and choose between them on any given jump, so picking the middle of the road is not necessary. You might be better off to carry only extremes.

    Qualifying for Positions

    Any way a player gains a badge of approval that says to those who don't know them that they're competent at a given task would be fine. If you're test averse, methinks TEST is the wrong place for you (pun intended) but what I'm describing is completely voluntary. If any given player doesn't...

    Ship and Pilot: Quantum Drive fuel Curves

    If you go to erkul, each time you place a drive into a ship it gives you your range, based upon the tankage of that ship, and travel times to three locations based upon the speed--very useful specs.

    Qualifying for Positions

    I'm not familiar with the skill system for players either. I do recall there will be three? levels of skill for NPCs you can hire, and you pay more for them depending upon their skill set. The point behind SC seems to me the characters don't have skills, but rather the players do. You either...

    Qualifying for Positions

    If you can walk away, it is success! Seriously, I think if there were 30 kinds of positions to qualify for, I'd train in 20 of them. I'm one of the few looking forward to crewing the ships of others. The Jav ain't worth a thing without a good crew.

    State of the Squadron 45!

    If you're not having a reaction to beer you're not doing it right. The way to get this worked out is to drink much more of it. Sooner or later you'll get a proper reaction.

    Qualifying for Positions

    The recent release of the Nova had me thinking (rare though it is) that wouldn't it be great to develop a qualification system, where players could apply for training and pass some sort of test that says to others who would hire them, that they know what's involved in any particular position...

    Tonks a lot!

    Could be it's going through rapid update. What I see on erkul is the option for each of the two missile launchers to carry 1S6, 2S5, 4S4 or 8S3. 16 missiles with range past that carried by most fighters is a serious handful. The numbers on the Slayer ballistic cannon are silly--about 35X that...

    Tonks a lot!

    From his analysis it sounds like you really need to fill all three seats in at least one tank out of three. MAYBE a skillful commander can command three tanks if all his drivers are listening carefully, but I would not want to be in a tank without the 360* situational awareness. It's certainly...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    I used to believe that, and then they gave the Valkyrie cargo plates. So now it carries more guns, more troops, and more cargo than the ship they told us broke the need for other ships. I no longer believe that explanation. It makes no sense to me. I think it really matters who whines loudly...

    FPS 3.12 Calculator

    So what do you want to wear when piloting? On the left is my standard combat build, and on the right, what I wear when in the pilot's seat and can't wear Heavy. I'm very surprised to find I can wear medium torso and carry a shotgun, which is about all I need if I have to go search the ship for...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    It not only had rear cargo capacity, it had it's own dedicated cargo winch that ran down the ventral side of the tail. You can see it in this animation, time index 2:35: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTE_nJWiU4w My issue is that when CIG decided to tweek it, they broke their own...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    Someone glitched into the Redeemer interior. Looks FUBAR to me. The new interior has no room for cargo I can see, no cargo loader, no upper deck with the galley, and seems mostly wasted space. Very disappointing. They should have just left the thing alone. Pick it up at time index 1:40...

    The Big Cat Cometh

    Tour of the Javelin. My take: I like that it looks dirty and lived in, so long as you can order bots to clean it up. The hand smudges all over make it look lived in. I do not understand the reason for 15 turrets each with a pair of S7 guns for larger ships, and a pair of S5 guns...
