Love the look of that ship and it's a good alternative design vs what they've build so far. Not sure how they'll balance it considering how large the front profile is.

Oh nice, Don't think I've ever had a proper look at one of those ingame, certainly don't recall flying one!
Yes I'd go automated into the commercial stations, after all they don't want you crashing and making a mess and manual landing on random planets etc. Just to clarify I have actually bought this game a while back, I just don't have a GPU to play anything just yet, I do have a good CPU for it though

Our next get together you can have it to tryout, it is an interesting ship.

So I occasionaly check the funding to see how that's going given the constant moaning about the state of the game and noticed that they've secured $482,358,411 so far. If I recall correctly, it was around the end of November that they passed the $400m mark. That's pretty amazing growth in funding in less than 8 months and I'd imagine they'll hit $500m in the next couple of months.. crazy amounts but I'm glad that someone is giving this sort of approach a go even if the start wasn't that confidence inspiring!

I was watching a streamer the other day and he did a quick chat poll on how many people had only bought the $45 starter and how many had spend more than $1k. It seemed to be quite an even split. They really seem to be on a bit of a roll with how playable (and yet still bug ridden to hell and back) it is.
We're getting a new Banu transmission later in the week.

Wait till when 4.0 drops....
Soldato
Yup i think if they get static meshing in place, that will open things up further as that is really the make or break for this project... without static you can't add more systems, increase ship count, have a dynamic economy with the fidelity required.
Soldato
If 4.0 turns out to work it should be in time for my new PC as I gave my old Xeon E3-1231v3 and 1070GTX to my son and I cannae play SC at the moment.
Soldato
A lot rests upon how soon and how well the ptu testing for 3.18 goes and then how well the 4.0 ptu goes too.
I predict 4.0 will be a q3 2023 patch just to stay pessimistic lol
Soldato
I gave my son my PC as I play mainly on my Series X at the moment... I'm in no rush for a new PC
Soldato
I hope you are wrong, I suspect you hope you are too

LOL of course!I hope you are wrong, I suspect you hope you are too

Very nice. I do think they've not explored the alien tech enough yet. Even just in lore / pictures. And the ships we do have are humanised versions from the lore I've seen.
I watched the Khartu-Al being used in AC and while the manoeuvrability looked great for the amount of Gs it can pull. It's such a large target front on, with not enough firepower.

Its the first alien ship, released way back in 2016 and completely forgotten about since then, it needs brining up to date, badly, the firepower actually IMO is fine for a light fighter, 2X S3 (Panthers) that works well with the manoeuvrability it has, but shields seem to be bugged, one missile hit; shields and engines were down, i was a sitting duck, just one missile, my 325A has the same 2X S1 shield design and it can take 3 missiles before the shields are down and even then it doesn't just sit dead.
I like it, i would have liked it as a light fighter, but its made of paper, it needs fixing.
Just give it a Size 9 torpedo, glass cannon

Now i'm thinking about revisiting the Drake Buccaneer, an old favourite of mine.

Looks cool from the outside, sounds awesome, but ooooof that cockpit view. More obscured than the Connie's! lol
