    Which will be your home system?

    (written by Joss Whedon, performed by Sonny Rhodes) Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, Tell them I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me...

    Potential shifts at Disney

    Yes. Local product, unfiltered and (for me at least) had to ask specifically. A friend there introduced me to it at a pub in Yeovil which was a couple blocks from the house. The barkeep seemed to find a Yank asking for it most amusing, but he always smiled when bringing the mug 🍺.

    Potential shifts at Disney

    If you aren't drinking proper scrumpy from Somerset county then you've got a treat waiting. Absolutely fell in love with that stuff while living over there.

    The Storm AA

    @NaffNaffBobFace The Broadsword and Tarantulas are back to being very good choices. Overall TTK is much higher due to a number of factors that CIG has adjusted but Ballistic Cannon are quite good at winning fights again. There is a very niche Strife build which is worth having some fun with...

    The Storm AA

    Until you actually use them. Repeaters of any kind simply can't keep up with the TTK of the cannons in this patch. Like a lot of folks, I've settled into using the Omnisky's on daily driver ships for their overall balance of speed, accuracy, alpha and power efficiency. A notable exception is...

    CIG Suspends over 600 Accounts

    Chat logs are logs. The real question isn't if, it's for how long they want to keep them. Do you remember back a while ago when CIG announced that they were adapting the A.I. in the game to mimic the behaviors of skilled PvP pilots? It's trivial to capture every input that a player puts into...

    CIG Suspends over 600 Accounts

    Data. Lots of data. PTU runs like it does because there is a metric ton of analytic code running which is dramatically reduced for Live. I have it on very, very, very good authority that they can recreate the game session of any player that catches their interest.

    CIG Suspends over 600 Accounts

    Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Best part about people being greedy enough to exploit now is that it has nothing but positive impact in the long run. To paraphrase Lord Farquad "Some of you may be banned, but that is a price I am willing to pay".

    Current Component Stats are Placeholders for 4.0

    CS refers to physical cross section, what a traditional radar pulse would bounce off of or an optical system would observe. For IR and EM the subroutines are pretty much in place, visible and adjustable by player choices. I'll completely agree that there are lots of weirdness in the values if...

    Current Component Stats are Placeholders for 4.0

    During a past show it was put out that the CS values were created by doing a simple 'voxelization' of the ship's profile. It is supposedly a dynamic value now, and 'should' represent physical size in the game. Since we can't see that value or how it's calculated experimentation is about the only...

    Will CIG sell F8C before SQ42 (again!)?

    While there can be no doubt that the concept of LTI has been weaponized by CIG Marketing, it will still be a cost avoidance in game especially for those with larger ships/lots of ships. I'm happy to focus on cash-purchased ships having LTI, no matter how that eventually affects game mechanics...

    The Storm AA

    I agree with you that the Combined Arms concept is the path they are on; we know that they have or have had military advisors in the studios helping them concept the gameplay and interactions. For an MMO that wants to be around for a long time after release, the depth this would bring if done...

    Help me get my friend and his wife cheap ships?

    Yeah, no. As of my response you joined 22 minutes ago, and immediately post looking for handouts with a question that doesn't make sense. If you're legit, spend some time in the Discord and learn how the game works. We're a friendly bunch :)

    Origin 400i + X1 = 💥

    My opinion of the ship is that I love the interior, think they missed a trick on the exterior. Keeping it though, for the stated bonuses that it is supposed to have for scanning (and the holotable to do that with!). I haven't taken it out in 3.23 yet, but don't imagine that the MM changes did...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Been a fair few times I've wished the foresight had been there to stay with just 3 or 4. That list would be the Sentinel for it's future EW gameplay, the MSR for all that it should be bringing, and a competent medium explorer such as the 400i (although I still consider this slot unresolved due...

    M2 vs A2

    Breaking News! (and a good laugh!) The friend of mine mentioned in that post took about 30 seconds to upgrade his M2 to an Ironclad Assault for the Princely Sum of $5. I like the M2 for it's purpose but in his case the upgrade was a genuine steal.

    F7C Mk1 (and variants) to be removed from sale (pledge store and in-game)

    Happening, announced in the announcement. I'm interested in the Mk II Ghost, personally. Want to see how they position it within the *stealth* ship collection.

    Ironclad

    Hey! I think it's awesome that they are introducing a target just in time for the Polaris torpedoes! 🤣

    M2 vs A2

    The chin turret is only moderately useful. You need a person in the gunner seat to make it worthwhile, so if you have a friend to fly with regularly then it helps. The turrets controlled by the co-pilot are also annoying. Last time I used them, had to choose between upper and lower, with the...
