Dos answer es si, they do fill a roll. Pretty much just ONE role, and that is designated hitter. It's the single seat fighter concept taken to a logical extreme.
As @Richard Bong aptly pointed out up above, the Eclipse does a very similar job while providing some capacity to fill other niches as...
@Blind Owl They have been 'un-nerfed' somewhat, to the extent that the guns actually hit targets again. Still takes some patience to make use of, and a player in a light fighter is the stated (and effective) counter to these ships. I bought mine back out, and have been enjoying them for...
UPDATE!! The dates have been extended thru December - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/arena-commander-experimental-mode-schedule
So this is still possible to do - and that's really good, since it appears I did not get credit for something along the way...
Which pedals you after? I've got a set of the basic Virpil's (VPC Warbrd) that have never been used, and would pass them on at a TEST friendly discount if they appeal.
I'd originally set up the simpit to swap between HOTAS and Dual stick.. and never actually swapped once the Virpil Alpha's...
TEST is a very welcoming group.. but joining and shilling gear on the same day isn't likely to earn you anything other than suspicion.
Come hang out in the Discord, introduce yourself here on the forms, have a favorite beverage.
I'm hoping you are right.. there are some precedent for the extra armament - The Phoenix has both turrets and supposedly a PDW at some point, the E1 has both turrets available to that chassis. I do like the Phoenix but would welcome a newer design.
CIG's game design of creating predator and...
Had two Orion CCU's that went to $0.. the annoying part is that they were the $25 warbond upgrades to the BMM that were released recently. I wasn't actually surprised as both ships were/are expected to go up in value, but it was disappointing to see a cash buy so quickly become a moot point...
We've been waiting for your buddy, Jelly-filled, so if you can find him and bring him along.. might be a good referral :)
Welcome, jump into the discord and be popular for a few minutes.
These are fair observations.
Some thoughts on the topic:
Had no problem doing Vanduul Swarm in the C1; just a data point, nothing more.
Cutty's fly terrible in atmo. The 'Master Modes' update will change the tuning but I doubt this weakness will go away.
The Blue was our sole example of heavy...
Live is the same.
PTU is the same not ready for prime time, not currently being updated.
EPTU is the channel being used by CIG for the current patch cycle in the run up to IAE 2953. Normally this is where the avocados are found.
Tech Preview is currently where Pyro is being tested.
No, I have...
Dammit @marcsand2 I was trying to ignore this one; some of us have actual lives to live you know. So I've heard. From others.
Edit for tracking because CRS syndrome:
MM Vanduul Swarm complete; also gives 2953 aggressor badge *
MM Duel complete; figured to get my ass handed to me but it didn't...
Hypervisor is used as a generic term for the managing layer; the intent was to imply decision making responsibility. I'm sure they have a different internal name for it.
I agree with your statements here, and would like to also point out that the replication layer is not a necessary element...
@Shadow Reaper in a practical sense, with the demo working it becomes a matter of scaling. The point of 'dynamic' server meshing is to allow the hypervisor (or whatever name it is given) to be very specific in that scaling. Some obvious questions include what actually needs to move between...
