    Pimax Crystal Super VR

    Harry, when the Dream Air comes out (supposed to be ) please do pop in and keep us appraised of your adventure. I presume you’re using a gaming laptop, which everyone warns against. I love seeing people vanquish expectations. What do you plan for controllers? Do you both fly and fight FPS and...

    Concept ships

    IIRC, when the Pioneer concept was revealed, CIG said we wouldn’t see it until 1.0. That makes sense given we’re waiting on 100+ worlds, so starting on settlements is a bit premature.

    Am I allowed to start hoping for the Crucible, or do I now have to wait for the Liberator, etc.?

    Ship Armor

    Word on the street is that with the implementation of armor, fighters will no longer be able to run over Corvette and Cap class ships. I am supposing S4 cannons and up will still get some “penetration”, but we’ll have to wait and see. Whatever it is the change is being lauded as a big one. The...

    Deck Champion?

    So, I’ve been asking myself again what is the best “deck fighter”, meaning what would go best inside the Idris or Liberator for fighter cover, flying over Eclipse. One of the updates from 4.3 has delivered what may become a new Meta. The Esperia Talon has had a huge boost to 24,930 hp and...

    So 4,000 players bought a Perseus on day one, for $2.86M.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLINDOWL!

    I should say a couple fun things about owls. I was out peeing in the woods the other day, as I oft do when in the woods; and I had a Great Horned Owl swoop past not more than 6’ from me. Astonishing. Owls have an extremely cool feature not shared by other birds. Their feathers have little barbs...

    Running an Idris

    Oh gees, I can’t believe I forgot to post the link! Yes! That’s the one. Thanks so much. One of the things it left me wondering about is near the beginning when she justifies having an org based around a ship “for when base building comes out”. I’ve heard that justification before and it...

    Running an Idris

    There are some gems in here. Where to get the seats to turn a Titan into a stealth troop transport. How to manage the broken physics grid on the Idris hangar bay. Lots of great insight. I have thought for long that TEST needs a group like this, able to generate high quality vids of org...

    New Vehicle - Star Citizen MDC for $45 is nice!

    It’s interesting and certainly worth investing in if you have a single space to defend from missiles, but it’s worth noting these are essentially a single S1 gun each, so around 300dps. You are not going to deter fighters with these unless you have 20 or more of them. The missile variants will...

    This is why I keep hoping the Liberator will fit 3 Eclipse. The pads will certainly fit them with landing gear down and wings up.

    L-22 Alpha Wolf

    Looks like they added some dorsal stabilizers and dropped the fuggly daggerboard. The are repeaters putting out >2k DPS with a projectile speed of 1650, which is a little less than the Galdereen, in damage, speed and range, but the spread is less, the power consumption and temperature to IR are...

    The Clipper has cargo plates. And indeed, you can fit a Dragonfly, or two Hoverquads in the cargo bay. The grid is 3x2x2, so holds 12 SCU with a walkway next to the grid. I think the pods are scheduled to be 2x2x2, which as shown in the vid below, would be fine on the grid but is too large for...

    Montoya first look at the Perseus

    I agree, medium class components are good. Combination small and medium is even better, like the pairing of one small and one medium reactor in the Sentinel, allowing serious flexibility. On serving aboard the big ships, keep alts in mind. I definitely will have separate accounts for playing...

    Pie Week

    By special decree, all pie eaten this week is shame and guilt free, but you have to be careful with the topping. Happily, mankind has adapted to the special needs created by pie week, and responded appropriately with sugar free whipped topping. Just so you know.

    Thanks for the pic, Chip. When you go to fit a Nox in, see if you can back it in such that it only covers a single grav plate. My hope is you can still get by it and it will then displace the minimum amount of cargo. I would suggest leaving on the boarding ramp to see what happens but it might...

    L-22 Alpha Wolf

    So the energy gun version is out. As previously mentioned the L-21 had its impressive gun range nerfed. The L-22 likewise has a 3km range. Apparently either no one at CIG had originally noted the 5k ranged allowed the original release to attack ships with relative relative impunity, or they were...
