    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    The only thing I can think of, which would make up the funding loss for this year, is to sell the RSI Pegasus to backers. No, I don't think they will but it would sell like hotcakes.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    As a bounty hunter (intended role) Pyro shouldn't be a healthy place for me to be. Given that I would prefer to avoid it without a huge reward for the risk. Unfortunately since they decided to leave Hadrian off the list of initial planets, Pyro is the (Unintentional?) economic center of the...

    Need input on a new desk!

    I personally like these, but I can't fit them in my house. (I'd need 2 in the same room.) https://imperatorworks.com/ I went to IKEA, picked up a 5' long butcherblock desk top and 4 legs. Got 2 pieces of wire management racks, a pair of joystick mounts, a headphones hook and a coaster for the...

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    See my response to @Shadow Reaper on log out or escape. The short answer is no. The pods will be used to bring in live bounties, regardless if they are NPC or PC.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    There was a suggestion, by CIG, that if you were captured, you could either wait for the pod to be delivered, or accept the capture and skip to the prison sentence (similar to waiting for medical rescue or respawning in the hospital). The person in the pod would be switched to an NPC so the...

    Honoring those who served - Veterans Day

    Thanks to those that came before me, to those that came after me and a special thanks to those that served with me.

    POLARIS first look!

    II don't have a Polaris. I don't want a Polaris. I don't care enough to argue about it.

    POLARIS first look!

    I just found this. Apparently they do.

    POLARIS first look!

    Hard telling what actually happens. It looks like tube 3, which is on one side of the elevator, and runs past the torp launch control runs through the elevator shaft in the videos I've watched. To be fair, I can't get the ptu to load in, and I don't own a Polaris, so I haven't seen it myself...

    Roadmap to 1.0

    You know CIG doesn't do "beam me up."

    POLARIS first look!

    I love how Torpedo 3 fires through the main elevator. :)

    That isn't how CIG works.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    That is the CIG marketing material for the Constellation Andromeda. :) And is still on the sales page. They also, originally, talked about the back seat in a Super Hornet as suitable for carrying a Bounty. Based on the Hawk bounty compartment rework, and what they have shown as part of the plan...

    Roadmap to 1.0

    They can't board your ship or enter the turret. At least in the current code.

    When you think handsome Bounty Hunter making his way through a galaxy of enemies, you think Constellation. :)

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    Have you been in a Blue? The armory on the Blue is, in addition to the weapon racks in the crew area, in the same section as the prisoner capsules. Complete with an armor locker. Behind a steel cage. Very Razorcrest like.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    They're both supposed to have 12 cells. As for why you might need that many? We already have bounties with 3 criminals on them. That number could go up. And if your bounties are in Pyro or Levski, you're going to have to get back to UEE space to turn the targets in. It might be a good idea to...

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    Lookjng, particularily at the Cutlass Blue compared to the Zeus MR. I know the nerf bat hasn't hit the Zeus yet. I also know the MR isn't flyable yet. I'm more looking for first impressions on the Zeus compared to the Cutlas Blue, in particular speed and agility. I know the Zeus has a crew...

    Roadmap to 1.0

    They can't get NPCs to cross a physics boundary. They can't get NPCs to cross doors. NPCs are no where near close. AI blades doing point defense is already in the code.
