With a good power distributor and thrusters you should be able to put half pips to eng and boost enough to stay inside a pythons turning circle so long as you stay close to its rear end and pivot at the right moments. And if you end up far off with it lining you up, you can always just joust back in behind it. I find enemy clippers and dropships trickier as they're that much more maneuverable but the same tactic should let you hammer them long enough while out of their CoF that if things change they're half dead already. Presumably you can pull off some sort of fancy FA off moves to stay behind em all the time but I've never been able to make that work.

How come people like the fas? It looks terrible on paper with those shields. Can it armor tank or something?

Is the imperial cutter playable if you get the 1.5 beta? also do they make you grind for credits as usual? If that thing is clipper-fast I'm selling all my ships for one when 1.5 hits live

What's the cutter's top speed? is it the same as the clippers? (oh please oh)

From what I've read elsewhere the Cutter has a weirdly small power distributor (7). Wonder what the hell the plan is there.

I take it the Fed. Corvette is definately better than the Imp. Cutter for combat stuff, right? Has anyone tried both

How does the clipper fare under the new hull tanking regime when it is space murder time? Compared to the FAS or whatever I mean. It never could shield tank that well

What does a ship's hull value do? Is that armour on modules? Or some sort of damage resistance across-board?

Urit posted:https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=140240 Thanks for that. No wonder I was running out of WEP so fast with 4 G large pulses as opposed to 4 T large pulses. I think I'd better switch one to a ballistic weapon. It's a shame burst lases are such garbage.

Urit posted:Bursts are the middle option, so they're not really good at being forgiving/low WEP usage (pulse win) or high damage (beam win) but they can be fine if you have a lot of spare power. I mean from the chart there it looks like bursts barely even out-DPS pulses of the equivalent size. Never mind I'm swapping a laser for a huge cannon anyways

BMan posted:So, Robigo bulletin board scumming. You know how you can make missions on the open bulletin board "stick"? When the missions eventually disappear, quitting to desktop and logging back in seems to bring all those missions back. I don't know just how they managed to program this to happen, but there you go. Also, you can just quit the high-yield instance, open another then immediately quit that and head back to the stuck high-yield one. There's no need to open the bulletin board then quit before the missions list appears. Surprise Giraffe fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Feb 25, 2016 |

I guess my problem is that it's a really boring ship in conjunction with what's available to actually do with those features. (except take nice screenshots)

If you're trying to boost your rep with an outposts factions, what would be the best commodity to dump there? Would it be the one with the lowest supply?

Clippers seem to be able to do everything the FAS can except maneuver well and be not a colossal target. I guess those are pretty important things though

As the game stands the Anaconda is apparently better in most ways, including combat (since 2xhuge hardpoints isn't actually that great)

Nice piece of fish posted:I think it's amazing on paper, it just looks so loving ugly. I belive the conda and vette are on par in combat as it stands. The conda has a beefy hull tank and better dps, and I don't think it's that much less agile

I'd really like a continuous boost in this game as an alternative to the f-zero style burst of speed you have to repeatedly fire off. It would be a relief not to have to hammer that button repeatedly when you're trying to speed towards a station or through a canyon etc. Has anyone tried souping up a cutter with speed buffs? or a clipper for that matter. Imagine a 500m/s clipper...

Frontier need to add people with anoraks and notebooks watching the ships go by in stations. Seriously though would it take much to have dock inspectors checking you out from the landing pad buildings? Or people having picnicks in the parks inside the rich looking stations? Some sense of a populated universe would go a long way

Modded clippers look glorious. 500m/s boost, 1.6k shields, 900 armour and big capacitor/pg boosts, that's gotta be a beast. I imagine you can do much the same/better with FAS/FDL

King of Cheeses posted:There's also a new mission mechanic which is paying way too much and could be a result of Ceos and Sothis being close, but also far out in the bubble. Its a cargo mission, usually to transport illicit goods. Its a "we'll tell you where to deliver to when you arrive in system X" type mission, but with no other systems even remotely close to Ceos and Sothis its a no-brainer. It goes like this: that's pre-2.1 board skimming money! yaay

I actually like the travel aspect of elite in a way, it makes the galaxy seem appropriately huge, but it definately needs to be more profitable in fun/spacebux and/or for there to be a more instant gratification alternative available when you log in.
