    Star Citizen on track for another record breaking crowdfunding year

    They might have a record year but it will be without my money.

    Flight stick question

    OK, now that looks interesting. I'm not sure I could get used to the angle there with the button location though. Wouldn't that still center if you release pressure?

    Fair enough. :)

    Titan Load out

    If I am going against Connies I am flying my Vanguard, or, maybe, my Eclipse. :) For a single seat fighter, Connies are very tanky. 60 seconds may not be enough, unless you are very accurate. The good thing about ballistic cannons is you get 60 seconds of continuous fire. The bad thing about...

    There is lots of opinion here (mine included). What best suits your style and needs is best found out by using this thread only as a starting point and figuring it out for yourself. :)

    Titan Load out

    I wasn't specifically talking about shooting at a Connie or a typical PVE larger target. Having said that. A fully crewed Connie where the crew is awake can force a player ship, even a Gladius or Arrow into defensive flight. The Connie plus Merlin is a nasty target for any single fighter.

    Titan Load out

    Putting that Deadbolt V with the MVSA on my Vanguard Warden does insane damage. I haven't tried doing something similar with a Titan, so I can't say whether it is worth doing or not, however with only 3 guns the Avenger tends to need all the damage it can produce, all the time. Note that with...

    What am I missing? Why the Voyager Quantum Drive instead of the Atlas?

    Titan Load out

    While this is true, the stock Gatling, the Revenant, and the Balistic repeaters only have 15 second of ammo. If you are going balistics, go with cannons, and mix them with laser cannons, so you only get one pip.

    This! One addition. Size 4 nose gun first. Size 3 wing guns second. FR 66 shields third. Atlas Quantum Drive Unify your missiles. From a practical standpoint nothing else really matters. Generally: Laser repeaters are my prefered choice, in most situations, and my recommendation for new...

    Flight stick question

    I ran a Logitech 3D stick for a while. It was a little sloppy but worked OK. A few years ago I got a Logitech X56 HOTAS for Chtistmss. I've never looked back. The thing about the X56 is it has thumbsticks for strafing. You don't have to hit cruise control or hold the stick forward to fly...

    We'll be lucky if Pyro makes it in before the end of 2023, my guess is closer to 2025.

    Starting location

    I prefer Loreville, but unless you are doing trading, you are probably better off basing on one of the stations and you can move your base of operations to one of those. You aren't stuck with your "home choice." You can just move your inventory and ships to a new location any time you want...

    Starter package

    In combat the engineering crew is responsible for damage control. I'd think that was rather important. Depending on the engineering space there may be more than one engineer required. The Carrack has too small a maximum crew, which is a life support limitation. According to CIG's definition...

    You are leaving out the flight engineer for the fully crewed Hammerhead, at a minimum. There are other positions on both the Carrack and the Polaris. Pilot and gunner is only short term.

    Can't sell the big ships if CIG admits that soloing multi-crew ships is not going to be practical. It isn't about playing the game, it is about making money to fund the development.

    Starter package

    My game package is a Scoundrel Pack. It makes my fleet a little less flexible when it comes to what can and can't be done with it. I see the appeal in consolidating a pack for that purpose, especially since all of my ships have LTI but keep in mind it does limit your options in terms of what...

    This. Very much this. I ditched my Polaris for the crew reason. In fact, about a year ago I reorganized my fleet around that concept. I was tying up too much money in ships that I would spend too much time getting crew for, instead of playing.
