3 posted:There was a video contest. I made a video. Exceptionally done. I especially liked the part where you got the part where they wing the Space Cops to mesh up with the song about hitting an undercover cop. Also, did the Keelback driver jump away without his fighter buddy? I saw one of the generation ships and definitely  for spooky. The random portholes lit or flashing feebly, the subtle creaking of the metal as it expands or shifts, and the voice acting was very well done. I can't be bothered to fly to every ship, but have seen most on youtube. I hope there's one or two that haven't met some grisly end. It would be fun to find one orbiting some planet somewhere, turned into a station, or a ground port where a successful colony was built.Krycek posted:I use this special effect on my Anaconda and corvette turret builds. Each hit increase the target's heat regardless of whether you hit shield or hull. Without heat sinks, the target ship will overheat, causing module damage even when shielded. Is that effect engineered?

grimcreaper posted:Its really a shame that E:D cant have something similar to Starcitizen. SC will have NPCs that are seamless and indistinguishable from human players because the ai being run will be far mor advanced than anything seen in games before. They will have entire lives that they live at all times and unique reactions to players. I heard that some NPCs will plant acorns at stations, and when their grandchildren visit those stations decades later, they'll be able to find and admire those sweet sweet legacy spaceoaks

They should have an event where we find a live generation ship lost the f out in space and it has to be escorted somewhere. Just like peacefully though. It would go real slow, so yoiu could just check up on it once in a while.

It seems like it would be faster to just retrofit a jump drive on one. Or just ferry the people off individually. Although maybe nobody would want to tell them that technology exists now to avoid pissing them off. "Yeah the trip you've spent the last 1000 years on? That took me like 10 minutes. Like, this isn't even far enough out that if I realized I forgot something I wouldn't turn around to go back and get it." The Cheshire Cat fucked around with this message at 14:19 on May 10, 2017 |

I imagine it's a bit like the Mormons in the Expanse. It's not just a matter of going to colonize a planet, they willfully wanted to leave the greater human society to go do their own thing. Thus leading to why the Elite setting seems to imply it'd be a dick move to interfere with them.

Tippis posted:Actual, yes. Exploraconda is the goal. Like a few others I started a new pilot after coming back for Horizons, and I miss that ol' dumb boat. Never got to explore with it back then. Another ship recommendation question: I want to ferry stuff to Cali and Colonia for the community quests. What's the best ship for ultra-range freight?

I mean I was being sarcastic of course but honestly a community goal to save a discovered still living generation ship that you could dock with to bring supplies to would be just downright cool as heck.

Welp I'm in love with the courier. I jacked some super-rolled Clean Enhanced drives into it and a tricked out FSD. 28ly jump range and 367 top speed. 8 tons of cargo space and a missile launcher that holds 10/27 seeker missiles. The hull is paper, sure, and the slightest whisper breaks most of my modules but I can dunk missiles all day and outrun basically anything out there. I was excited for a Clipper but now... Now I don't know how it could get better than this! EDIT: forgot the best part about my ship: it needs a half-empty tank to fly well and disables a bunch of modules to deploy weapons. It's an SR71 in space. Sixto Lezcano fucked around with this message at 17:42 on May 10, 2017 |

Star citizen is aiming to release after elite ends development. It's a good plan, also allows people to save up for the ships that cost as much as real vehicles.

I'd say 'source your quotes' but there is so much of this and there are so many people that would unironically post it that you can just make this poo poo up on the spot with a few key words and be impossible to determine if it was real or fake.

This old lady goes to a butcher shop and asks the man how much ground beef is by the pound. "$1.40," he says. "What!? That's outrageous! Lenny across the street sells it for $0.80!" "Well, why don't you go get it at Lenny's then?" Annoyed, the woman says, "He's out of it!" To which the butcher replies, "Well, when I'm out of it, it's only $0.75" Except in this case, Star Citizen is charging a bunch of money for something that's not out (and never will be), while I can play Elite: Dangerous right the gently caress now for less.

This is fully armed with appropriate weapons as well  Sometimes I undock, get out of masslock and wonder why I can't jump. Of course its because its so fast I don't notice landing gear is still down.

The DF loving annoying speed ship charter is classified but to get you started, grab some 3A enhanced thrusters, get a stonking great dirty drives 5 roll, and lightweight most everything else. For more info you'll need to make a pilgrimage and chat with the speed monks in discord. Here's a guy I pulled over who stuck around long enough for me to start recording, mess around with some more, then have another frog come in for the kill. He eventually got away  Also I am terrible at flying this thing but its fun as gently caress.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez_S7d2vJB0 Nostalgia4Infinity posted:despite having more money than god this is why i'm planning on heavily engineering a Cobra 3.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:despite having more money than god this is why i'm planning on heavily engineering a Cobra 3. Cobra III's have size 4 thrusters, which means they can't use enhanced performance drives (only come in size 2 or 3), so you're probably gonna top out at 600 at most. Well you could probably stick a size 3 on there but you're gonna be slow as gently caress because of how heavy you are. For speed ships your options are really Courier, V3, or iEagle (really only the first 2 are useful). Although I did once come up with a sidewinder build that boosted 666 m/s. Edit: I got a good amount of CIF as mission rewards at Quince and from scanning the bugged overlapping outposts, random outposts will give you some but not as much as Quince.
