I have declared it hot garbage because it looks like an albino T-Rex with down syndrome that was also cursed with several physical birth defects.

And the Corvette is awesome and straight shits on it in the looks department.

The hardpoint layout seems reasonable given it's basically a slightly larger Clipper with a huge hardpoint. The only thing they didn't mention is the shields but I'm very excited to try it out in the next couple of days.

One thing they did mention is that it's fast. You know what that means? Ramming Speed :unsmigghh:

The thing has an absolute poo poo ton of engines stuck to its rear end so I'm imagining it is fast as hell.

A lot of people are hating on it for looking like a bigger Clipper but I'm in love.

Same. Really digging the different ratio of nacelle:hull than the Clipper, looks kind of like a futuristic Imperial Blackbird. Should hopefully be a bit easier to manoeuvre through the slot, too since it looks to be longer and taller but not as wide.

The Clipper already has my favourite cockpit in the game (all that unbroken canopy :fap:

) and based on the footage they showed the Cutter is basically the same but bigger. Given the size of the engines I'm also hoping it sounds like a supercharged Courier :getin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=choK7Z4FXSQ and the other ships in motion on their channel now in isolated short clips. Also regarding stuff like "2xC1, 2xC2"- you should really include the powerplant and power distributor when you think of a ship loadout. How much a ship can power and how well it sustains it is as important as- if not more important than- what it can carry. Like the Gunship isn't just two extra small hardpoints, it's also a class 7 power distributor.

Can anyone summarize what the core game play will be like once the new expansion comes out? Are they fixing the empty feeling of the universe as it currently exists? Will the game be as fun as rebel galaxy? This is not a troll post, I'm just wondering if it's going to get to a better place than the game is at right now.

Since I never had that empty feeling people keep talking about I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, but yes, the game will be even better.

Just let me throw a ton or two of generic 'Ammunition" consumables into my Eagle's useless cargo hold. :mad:

Though if we can craft gimmicky stuff like guided bullets or ones with extra armor piercing, etc. That'd be neat.

The Cutter hardpoints were apparently mis-stated, it has 1 huge, 2 large, 4 medium, and 8 utility mounts. That sounds better but I think I'll stick to working towards the Corvette.

4 medium

. Well, beams on the large and 4 multicannons it is.

E: or 2 large beams and 1 huge/4 medium cannons for maximum hull damage :getin:

It's basically an Imperial Voyager.

KakerMix: Apr 8, 2004; 8.2 M.P.G.

The Corvette has those two huge hardpoints center mounted directly behind the cockpit, it also has a single large hardpoint so you know that the large is also center mounted. It's also the most maneuverable out of the large ships as the Corvette is more maneuverable than the Anaconda and the Cutter is not as maneuverable as the Anaconda. Cutter is fastest though.
Without power plant numbers and shield numbers though who can say. I'm so into those two huge hardpoints though.

The Clipper is supposed to be "fast but not maneuverable" but in reality once you hit the magical 720t with A rated thrusters it starts turning like an Eagle. I wonder if the Cutter will be the same.

I'm a little disappointed at only a single large since I was hoping for a straight up better version of my Cannonconda gunwise (C4 cannon + 3x C3 cannons :getin:

), but a more maneuverable Anaconda is extremely my poo poo

I would expect so. The Clipper is loving huge already (it's nearly as big as an Anaconda) so the Cutter isn't going to be that much bigger and I assume it'll be one size larger on most of the internals leaving the performance roughly the same. I'm expecting the Cutter's hardpoints to be similar to a combination of Clipper and Courier with the C3s in the nacelles. C2's on the wings and the huge under the nose.

My only concern for the Cutter is the shields because the Clipper has kind of garbage shields in comparison to stuff like the Python but given how high the Courier's base shield values are maybe it won't be a problem.

The Corvette seems really good to me. From what I can tell, it has much better hardpoint placement than the Anaconda (which I think is horrible as most of you know by now :v:

) and if they ever put in C4 beams or multicannons in it'll be an absolute monster. They also said it has decent shields so I'm hoping for somewhere around the FdL level. I also think it also looks better than the Anaconda.

I'm thinking at this stage that the Anaconda will be the best all rounder of the large ships (and the best at exploration/cargo stuff), the Fed Corvette will be the best at packing straight up firepower (especially against larger targets) and the Cutter will be the best at ramming things and looking/sounding the best.
