    Staffing with NPCs

    How does one deal with pirate fleets, when each pirate has 10 npc wingmen? UEC should not directly convert into power/strength, IMO. Goes against the whole "skill-based" argument they've been making since day 1.

    Staffing with NPCs

    I'm guessing the designers were ill-informed. I know that they pretty much have to be better informed than us - but I'm still sticking with my statement. It goes against what CR has said in the past, and it just makes for bad gameplay down the road. I think wingmen will be limited.

    How do missiles work? (Or: Oh my god how can I stop sucking so bad)

    Awesome Dude's response is good. TL : DR - Missiles have limited range and turn radius. Against some missile types, getting good at tracking and dodging them is more effective than countermeasures. Watch the radar.. sometimes it's accurate! REC an M50. It is difficult, but possible, to...

    Find us a Home! TEST HQ

    You could be right about that - AFAIK they haven't said either way. To me, though, "stable" doesn't necessarily mean "permanent". It would, except that this isn't actually natural phenomena - there are "gods" of this verse, and they plan things. I suspect they will switch things up, while...

    Find us a Home! TEST HQ

    I'm not going to name specific systems/places(aside from Spider, because that place looks awesome, but likely wont see it for yrs). I am, though, going to put out a few things to keep in mind. 1 - "Neighboring" systems could be meaningless. Disregard. JPs will come and go, we know this. New...

    Aegis Sabre Fighter - Who is getting it?

    "While no one will deny the Hornet’s place as the UEE Navy’s brawler, the Sabre offers an elegant and nimble alternative to handle an ever-evolving combat landscape." It doesn't say that it has lower armor, but I believe that is what they meant by calling the Hornet a "brawler" in comparison...

    Aegis Sabre Fighter - Who is getting it?

    Bought one. Will probably CCU to something cool at anniversary sale. It's a nice ship in theory, but the cross-section just does not seem right for an agility-based(likely low-armor) fighter. FI: In theory - a really good pilot could keep his enemy presented with that thin, front-on...

    Endeavor, or something else?

    Things to consider, just in case you didn't know: Ships can be sold to other players('gifted' for $), and ships can be melted for store credit - BUT ships that are bought using store credit CANNOT be sold(gifted) to other characters. (NOTE: Selling ships to other players is technically against...

    I don't know this^ guy, but he probably deserves the ship more than I do.

    [WTT]E:D Account, Decent Underground account - for SC stuffs

    Now that is a funny question, seeing as how you did most of the work on it.. I don't know now, honestly. I had posted these for an Endeavor fund.. but I already pulled the trigger on it.

    [POLL] Who is planning to get an Endeavor

    I'm getting one, for sure. At least a full hope, and full bio-dome setup. But I do hope we get at least one dedicated org-owned hope as well. Will contribute.

    Am I Crazy or...

    The "TBA" announcement was just a placeholder, in case the Endeavor concept was ready for sale. It isn't. Tuesday, now. FPS.. seems like they are slacking again.

    Org funded Endeavor?

    FTR, that one's not accurate. Backer photoshop. Someone assumed that those circles are landing pads - and thus must fit a cutlass. It's a big ship - but not THAT big. And someone, Lando IIRC, has said since that those are NOT landing pads(anymore?). If you picture the large top-and-center...

    Org funded Endeavor?

    IMO, get a Hope. This way we always have one. Just seems like a good thing to always have available. And you know if you put up the link we'll fund it, boss.
