I am not sure in game functionality will speed up (i.e. adding features), the more complex things get the more issues crop up the more time it takes. What does seem certain though is that more ships will come out because they seem to have finished the S42 ships so can reallocate those resources...

I can see that making any ship modular is more work, it is clear the cat was an early decision where the belief of more modular but less ship types was encouraged as they thought it was less work. Since they have got on the ship sales equals big mullar clearly this changed. So yes modules are...

Some will keep it as a cargo hauler even though it is a lousy option (Comparing to other ships anyways) just to be different. What I need is an option for oars so we can run the oars in space just like the Vikings, if don't matter if its crap if its fun (okay it matters a bit). I have invested...

It would be easier to add guns.. Just saying.

All testies banned from PTU bummer.....

Oh and the very point of a brochure at this point of the game for the caterpillar? Yeah cash grab.

I suspect even the sensible buy them in game players will eventually progress passed the single crew ships. I can see a lot of fun to be had with events of testies together for whatever purpose in whatever ship but day to day I cannot see how it wont be NPCs for most people. I have one known...

I can see the logic for variants, what is key is if they let current owners get the other variants cheap, like buying a module so you still get flexibility. I only bought a cat for the flexibility and not as a pirate (If pirating is lots of fun I think there will struggle to be enough victims)...

I do hope it is the hoplite because I have no interest in at all zero. I do not get the game play of paying loads of NPCs to then carry them to invade another ship. Either they will be really good or really bad, either way will be a game problem. Note I have no problems being bad on another...

So the current rumours have said, Science and Salvage are no longer modules planned for the Caterpillar they alluded to this in the anniversary presentation when he said he had to simplify the toolbox for cats. The problem I have is all that leaves is cargo and pirate and we already know its go...

I think they get tied into what they like making, so it probably wont be a small industrial ship. Since they reportedly took salvage away from the caterpillar what would be useful would be a ship for that other than the reclaimer (can a cruicible do any? still both expensive ships). I do not...

I thought the armoured cockpit was to protect it when it investigates jump points? Or does it just insert the tip!

T.e.r.d is okay but its usually spelt Turd. Test Universe Research Division.

I am pretty sure the starfarer is shall we say larger. That being said if you open the cargo doors on the starfarer can you insert the catapillar. Surely the catapillar can fit in that long corridor down to the front turrets?

There will be 100 systems at launch (who knows in time) and maybe there are 5 jump points in each system (unlikely) so that's 500 jump points to find (yes some will decay but even so note I have counted in the enemy occupied systems to as if you can explore them!!!). It doesn't sound like much.

Given the popularity of the Carrack generally I like many will be looking forward to seeing how it turns out and just as importantly what sort of game play it has (The rover is nice but a lot of ships can carry a dragonfly which seems to have similar gameplay). Just how different (better) will...

Well the annual sale added:- 1 herald 1 cutlass red 1 starfarer

Ah well after a little thought I purchased a CCU to the sentinel from the Buccaneer following the sales pitch above! Its your fault. Besides I went for yellow as its nearly team colours. The Bucc was priced as it was because of the old cutlass price so its hard to know how effective it will be...

And there was me thinking it would be a thread complaining about pvp. Yeah snowflakes!

I can also see the logic for some sort of reward element for players with basic packages to keep playing. (Upgrading weopons and all that first of course) Maybe after a week of play. Largely speaking though what matters more is not how long it takes but rather whether its fun. If you grind for...
