Like 3.0, it can take up to an hour for their word processors to open sometimes :kissing_heart:
It's technically still Wednesday. Patience padawan, patience.

I been waiting on this as well. Hoping they answer the question on if they removed the 2 unmanned turrets referenced in the concept video. I didn't see them on the holoviewer or ship matrix. Those will be key for a PDS against torpedoes.
Amen to that. Plus it would be nice to let your copilot shoot at things too.
I hope. We will see. Post a link if it shows up!

I'm looking at the Hammerhead in the Holoviewer right now on the Hammerhead page & it clearly shows that the top & bottom turrets are still there as well as the 4 side turrets.

Those are the 6 manned turrets. In the Hammerhead concept video he mentioned on multiple occasions that there were an additional 2 unmanned turrets.
Noob question, if you don' have players on the turrets, they gonna let you hire an AI crew to do it?
Yes, that is supposedly the plan WHEN that portion of the system is flushed out.
The side turrets are manned, the top and bottom turrets are run from stations on the bridge, hence the 'unmanned' part.
Or at least, that's what I got out of that video.
@VFV Yeah, there's going to be both npc crew and the ability to run your turrets with 'ai chips' or something like that. Still a long way off though.

I upgraded to the hammerhead, seems like you’ll get more use out of it then the Polaris, majority of people are going to have small ships anyway, and I won’t need to force my wife back into stopping to pay for the torpedoes that the Polaris use
Sweet. Another noob question. Says max crew is 9. What happens if I cram more people in? Do they just magically die? Cause I think the hammer head could be an awesome drop ship. The turrets are so well placed, that even on the ground, it can protect itself pretty well. Get some good AI gunners, drop a ton of soldiers and a vehicle, have like 10 hammer heads do the same, that's a lot of fire power of some well placed turrets for ground or air threats. Could be useful
Nah, max people is only limited by available space, so you can cram as many in as fit. However, past a certain point there will be air/weight issues, and also, lag.

I don't know, given the sheer amount of Hammerheads that will be in the verse I would think the Polaris and Eclipses will be in a target rich enviroment.
