To be fair, they do both. The Firebird had virtually no purchases until they doubled the missile loadout and sharply enhanced the stealth and maneuverability to match the Raven. So they are “balancing” in both directions. The real question is how they routinely get the balance so obviously and...

Landing good reviews and audience ratings—best since Mando. View: https://youtu.be/4t9iXDGEDI4?si=fXHPSlkDlyd_Z_Hc

I personally understood the Corvair nerf, because it is not intended to be a solo ship. It’s just as lethal now as it used to be, so long as it has a small crew. The fact they tried to release the Paladin with no pilot guns is very, very concerning. 4S4 pilot guns is fine and without nerfing...

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are doing Skeleton Crew, but this is the only project to get past the KK female leads only filter since Mando. It’s not hard to note SW is mostly young guy audience and discern what they prefer. The trouble is KK does not care what her prime audience prefers. She...

A dedicated gunship like the Hammerhead, Redeemer or Paladin ought to have more and bigger guns and shields than ships that haul cargo, bombs, etc. Nerfing the Redeemer just before putting out virtually the same weapons package on another ship says to the players “we are not trustworthy”...

Second time I’ve been fooled like this.

Medium ship with S3 scan, like the Apollo. Extended range and an extra S2 shield. Players seldom value extended range but that may begin to change with Pyro open. Range is a constant concern with aircraft, watercraft, military planning, etc. We don’t much think about it because most of...

“Spicey” doesn’t cover it. Sounds like players are done believing CIG is honest when they sell concepts, only to later nerf them. The weapons nerfs on the Redeemer are ridiculous. That ship was fine the way it was.

View: https://youtu.be/pSjZjzcxrN8?si=EErCsUNQv95lX7lQ Interesting point that all of the guns are remote, leaving all players on the small bridge for easy communication. That has always been my preference and the design of my Jedi Sojourner in ffg TTRPG. Also he’s saying the missile launchers...

Another contender to consider in this range is the StarLancer TAC. It didn’t inspire much discussion but it has some serious advantages, especially for exploring. Has another turret. Has two tier 3 med beds. Has a dedicated Fury bay. Has life support for 7 or 8, I forget. Long story short it may...

Yes but the Perseus has a small hanger that can fit perhaps 4 Fury. So once again, the key to expanding the utility of one of these size ships is beds. If we can hot cotton the Perseus bunks so we get an additional 4 or so beds, ships like the Perseus won’t have the prime vulnerability you’re...

So you could leave the side turrets with the pilot, the big turret with a dedicated gunner, and have dedicated missiles and engineer. 6 missile launchers, each with 4S2, say you load Rattlers is 4 salvoes of 24k damage. . .that is quite a lot. I like it but I think this would have been the...

This reminds of the surprise reveal of the holoviewer replace on the Polaris. Could CIG be moving back to “under promise and overdeliver”?

Sounds like you will want to wield a Vanduul Plasma Lance.

I’m not familiar with any new details of the Pathfinder role. I just think in general, Pathfinders like the 315P and Terrapin are low gunned so they’ll have a low signature. This seems to be that, but upscale from the others. Missiles enable low signature because launchers don’t require...

One of the things that disturbs me about the vid is they said the “ late game” or “end game” is cap ship combat. I don’t think they’re thinking straight about this. There is nothing late or end related about cap ship combat. What they mean to say is they don’t want pretty cap ships destroyed by...

From what I have scraped together it has: —2S5 stocks twin M7A laser cannons. Unlimited ammo, superb range, 3k dps. Excellent sniper w/ no reason to upgrade. Much lower power draw than 4S3 weapons, could be what enabled the 2S1 reactor build on this size bird. Attrition 5s offer a 25%...

After seven years of the Tally and Eclipse using torps as first strike weapons, and millions of dollars in sales of them and the Polaris, it is really lame to introduce a foil and make it overwhelming. It makes me feel once more that CIG has been less than forthright with us. I’m all for ship...
