    Question: what are the best solo ships for PvE, which you can buy in game for aUEC in the current 3.16?

    Properly flown, with good timing, a Hawk can kill many light fighters in one pass. It can also strip the shields from a Vanguard in one pass. As one of the few ships that we know will be able to take live bounties, it would be a good long term choice. It is supposed to be designed to be a gun...

    Question: what are the best solo ships for PvE, which you can buy in game for aUEC in the current 3.16?

    I haven't played enough 3.16 to get back to ERT yet. In 3.14 and 3.15 one in 3 torps from my Eclipse would fly off in a random direction. A torp is about aUEC3500. But when you reload you pay for 3 torps regardless of how many you need. Changes in 3.16: In 3.16 the AI targeting has improved so...

    The Galadreen and Attrition both have the same velocity as the MVSA. (Not the GVSR). If you use proper trigger discipline with the size 5 Cannon, a fight against 4 escorts and a primary target uses less than 20 of the 70 rounds.

    A size 9 one shots a Hammerhead with the shields up. The problem you can run into is the ERT group missions aren't always 3 Hammerheads. The Ecliplise isn't really useful against a Hurricane or Vanguard.

    The EMP is a placeholder for "EMP charges" whatever that means. So the Sentinel is intended to have some kind of EMP capability. Note that in crowded space an EMP causes friendly fire incidents. My Hawk has earned me an occassional Crime Stat. I have a Warden with a Sentinel BUK.

    I've been running my Warden with MVSA in the nose and the size 5 Ballistic Cannon under the nose. 8 Dominators and 8 Tempests. Put the MVSA on group 0 with the cannon on group 1. 4200 burst DPS after you melt the shields a bit with the lasers. Things just tend to go splat.

    CIG pulls in $4.5M during boycott

    I don't know that I would say "boycott." My better half and I both have accounts. At the end of 2021 this is our Combined Fleet. Our road map for Q1 For Q2 Q3 And Q4 We decided to cancel the roadmap and discard all of the cards. :)

    3.17

    The Hull series had a recent price increase. The Hull A was 60, the B was 90 and the C was 250. I'm not sure when the increase happened, but it was IAE at the earliest.

    Open Letter to Tiara

    Stealth, in general, is in a crappy place and has been since 3.14 went live. This is the part I based the recomendation on. If all they want to do is smuggling, then sure but I wouldn't count that as maximum flexibility. The problem is, working the criminal side of the law, means there will...

    Open Letter to Tiara

    You and I have talked before. Yes, I understand your views on stealth. In general I agree with them (other than the Sentinel of course :) ). There is reason to believe the Titan and Stalker will have equal stats later, and the difference will be empty, full of cargo or carrying prisoner pods...

    Open Letter to Tiara

    Interesting perspective. I like it. As a counter point, may I recommend the Avenger Titan instead of the 315P? It does everything the 315p does with a little less cargo but is a better combat craft. This way, if you do want to go the combat route it is a competent fighter. If you want to go...

    LTI Tokens are back on the menu boys!

    Not worth it at any price. At the rate of development, all insurance is LTI.

    All this salt is just the normal cycle repeating!

    IMHO it is both. They fail to show any actual progress, then insult the community by blaiming the lack of progress on them. We have a company that is selling an intangible at some future unannounced date, and has been for close to ten years. Ten years in and nothing is finished. Even the base...

    The hangars were either local or individual instances. The reason was it was poor, unmaintained code that wasn't worth the effort to bring up to standard. Proper accountability and leadership makes employees more productive. And the last as long as it takes is not from the outset. It is a...

    They open sourced Lumberyard. and now call it Open 3D Engine. View: https://youtu.be/6ccjR9qI5YU Funny, but not surprising, to see Tafi on there. :) I ran Software QA for the other half of that company a few years back.

    All this salt is just the normal cycle repeating!

    The problem with Nyx and Pyro is they are reliant on Server meshing, which is highly unlikely to be available this year, much less the next two months. The hat is empty, there is no rabbit. My biggest complaint is nothing is finished. In 10 years not a single thing is complete. Not a feature...
