My fleet is F8 MkII Glaive and a fuck ton of loaners

mighty wave
#

oo i might buyback my f8

#

i do have 2 f8 golden tickets still

bold coyote
#

I do mainly combat so i refuse to get rid of my combat ships (even tho i rarely fly f8 anymore unless its f8 v f8 or piracy)

#

But im sure ill fly it a hell of alot more when MM drops

mighty wave
#

i dont like doing fighter pvp

#

im not good at it

#

im good at commanding a fully crewed HH tho!

bold coyote
#

I love it i got the game to primarily pirate and pvp

#

All the games i play are pvp games tho ;p

mighty wave
#

hh rn sucks cuz most fighters can sit outside of its range

#

CIG specifically talked ab this

bold coyote
#

Like big ships feel good imo but dogfights are SHIT

mighty wave
#

when the HH gets maelstrom armor, fighters cant do shit against it

#

is what they said

#

unless its missiles

bold coyote
mighty wave
#

hh has 360 vision, there are some very tight and small blind spots

#

but other than that not rlly

#

HH SHOULD be able to take on atleast 6 light fighters at once

bold coyote
mighty wave
#

its a sub-capital meant to kill light fighters

bold coyote
#

They showed a gladius (iirc) taking out the guns on a HH fairly easy at citcon but could likely be faked

mighty wave
#

the health of each component isnt really that low

#

they also turned the AI down

bold coyote
#

Ahh okay so likely something that can be done just not recommended

mighty wave
#

if ur in a heavy fighter maybe?

#

but light/medium fighters should NOT be an issue to a HH

bold coyote
mighty wave
#

heavy fighters have much more missiles and bigger guns

mighty wave
#

it makes those long range fighters stop targetting the hh

#

then the hh can just pester it with missiles

#

also the same concept with torp boats

#

fighter escort can take out torp boats before they get close or even shoot their torps out

#

the only fighter i see being an issue are the ares

#

that could actually cause some damage with its gun

bold coyote
mighty wave
#

other than that

#

if its just 5 light fighters

#

heavy fighters can stay close to hh

#

so that the light fighters have to get close enough to even deal damage to heavy fighters

#

which will prob be in range of the hh

bold coyote
#

Yeah PU situations are def gonna be more role dependent now squads are actually gonna be picking and finding strong suits and what good for the group over all bc yeah all LF in that situation is iffy but you do 3 LF & 2 HF i think they can put up a decent fight and possibly win against HH ( if better coordinated)

#

If you can isolate and focus on one of the escorts at a time very winnable

#

Probably depends on who gets blood lust first tho cause group of fighters can get tired of the fight and try to do risky shit to end it quickly and it ends up not in their favor and all fighters get swatted or it could be my situation above where the HH escorts get blood lusted and start to chase these LF and get isolated and picked

woeful ferry
#

But what about those two Javelins though?

#

I mean, steam has people like this:
https://steamdb.info/calculator/76561198028121353/ (most removed/delisted + total games owned): ~350k$ for games, probably much less because of regional pricing
https://steamladder.com/profile/76561198023414915/ (highest steam level): ~242k$ for steam levels, probably much more, also a very valuable steam inventory, also probably a scammer

Star Citizen doesn't even come close

Of course if one were to buy those games in Europe. Their regional prices are probably a bit lower. But there are a lot of people that spend massively on Steam, or games hosted on Steam. Can't even get stats on how much money is spent on cosmetics for games like Dota 2 or CS2. And then there's the whole card trading stuff, can only approximate steam level costs.

you were betting against arsenal winning ?

and you won the bet ?

unborn drum
# signal folio what does this bet mean

So it means… in either half… Aston Villa MUST win (tie is a loss). So even if Arsenal got 3 goals in first half, if Aston Villa got 1 in the second half and Arsenal got 0 in the second half it would win

#

The result was…

First Half
Arsenal 0
Aston Villa 0

So that was a loss but

Second Half
Arsenal 0
Aston Villa 2
So it won

ok nerds
from the silhouettes from IAE
which do you think we sill see this ILW?

kindred yacht
#

I am betting on polaris since citcon

#

and we will have also a smaller ship of some kind, there is zero chance they will release only polaris, CIG needs money this ilw so it should be a hit. If it's with the one already showed at citcon it could be one of the zeus. Would make sense because we will get mirai bikes for the cheap, zeus for the midrange and polaris for whales. Everybody will have something to pledge.

slim gulch

They said Fly over only didn’t they?

placid stone
#

The Polaris isn't ready

#

It didn't even have the turrets yet

# slim gulch They said Fly over only didn’t they?

yeah, i read that after i wrote that. No chance of polaris. It's a tought call then, i still think that CIG will want to push someting cool at ilw to boost sales unless they will just aim to sell a shitton of bikes as lti tokens

#

We get the bikes for 3.23

#

Medical Ursa for ILW

#

Probably one more concept sale for ILW

#

And of course the Tali rework

slim gulch
slim gulch
kindred yacht
#

I'm not totally sold on the medial ursa, I think makes more sense to sell it at a later point to have another LTI token sale down the year and the theme doesn't really fit ilw imho. Tali rework could be a thing and it's really welcome but yeah, i think we need a high seller military ship to be released... But we should also consider that F7C Mk2 was just launched, idk if there is market for another medium/heavy fighter so soon, it should be something bigger (in the zeus range) or smaller.

Anyone aiming for the Firebird?

What's the whale review of that ship?

slim gulch
#

Worse than Talon Shrike at what its role is. Worse than Sabre Raven at its good looks. But looks good and functions ok enough that if it is cheap, then it could be bought.

azure maple
#

Kinda meh imo

placid stone
#

Anything is better than an alien ship

slim gulch
kindred yacht
#

Firebird looks very cool and i kinda like the concept but atm seems a bit in the middle ground where you have too few missiles to be consistent with the game in this state and falls a little short of dps compared to light fighters if we consider only its hardpoints once the missiles are gone. Tbh it's really dependent to missile hit rate and until they fix the servers (4.0 could be a huge step forward in that regard) it's kinda very hit or miss. Talon at least have 24 missiles to play with, you can afford some of them missing, firebird doesn't have that. My guess here is that this will be a kinda okay ship that could be really powerful in patches where missiles are strong and just below average when missiles get borked. Tbh my pledge could come or not, mostly depending on the ship price, but i don't have many hopes for that. Sabre base is already 170, the comet variant is 185. There is no match here for when the talon shrike exist and is only 115 (it's also true that the talon becomes totally irrelevant when missiles aren't good having just 2xS2 hardpoints).

while also freeing the hangar for an escort fighter

The warbonds came back up but not the store credit ones bleh

warbonds and store credits are mutually exclusive

Just wanted to see the name of it since it seems to change every year for some reason

I actually got it in cart and checked out, even got the email confirmation, and it’s not in my hangar nor is my store credit used lol

And the order number just says ā€œNULLā€

ironclad ccu will make me concierge, very happy about that

native merlin
#

I'm personally super excited for it

#

I've been looking for a cargo ship and an armoured freighter sounds like a great time

#

Even if I don't use it as a carrier

#

Will probably be getting the normal version, not the landing craft

Aw cripes. Definately hit concierge this ILW

should I get the liberator... or wait for this ironclad carrier variant with the repair bay and stuff

blissful cliff
tired pilot
#

cuz they didn't even discuss it's name on ISC

#

so maybe they aren't ready for it

#

idk, wouldn't make sense to not release the concept for the military version at drake con but

maybe, but you could always chase a kraken this weekend

AI friends for life

tired pilot
#

yea maybe, but that might be really basic and unfleshed out

#

I'll have to wait and see if they're actually viable

#

and cost effective too

#

I doubt the AI NPC's will be that efficient

#

but who knows

#

they might be useful for gunners cuz they have aimbot

#

but will they target who I want them to?

blissful cliff
#

only CIG knows

tired pilot
#

without taking 10 years to send that order in menus/Mobiglas individually to different crew members

#

or using a captain's chair interaction menu

#

(which I won't be using because I'll be flying since my entire crew is AI)

#

idk if you've ever had a pilot in Warframe railjack missions

#

they just fly around in circles shooting at stuff

#

glorified gunner

#

the meta is like 2 gunners and an engineer that repairs/kills boarders then you pilot and go do objectives

#

so we will see

I may have melted my liberator ... for a liberator

#

in my defense I didnt CCU chain it the first time so now I have a lot of spare credits sitting around

#

so any suggestions on something to get with said credits LULW

#

while Im at it I might as well do the same with my polaris to get all the credits I could ever need ...

#

so whale club do we have any suggestions for ships or something fun to get with my newfound spare credits

#

oh nvm I got a bad idea

native crag
#

I got myself a kraken and a javelin this ILW so i'm happy, aswell as i already got polaris, idris, persus šŸ˜„ tho i had to sit up til 0200 my time to get kraken cause i forgoth the first wave of sales 🄓

if its a cutter or aurora i'll ram you with an idris, i have a personal beef against those two ships lmao

chrome hedge
#

I already own a cutter

native crag
#

Ahhh yes, the nautilus, its a neat ship

#

bring it infront of me and die O_O

#

xD

chrome hedge
#

but yeah

#

my CCU chain savings + cutting out one ship I didnt need netted me a bit more than I expected and idk what to do with it all

native crag
#

the last thing you see in your cargo door in your cutter when i find you in the idris xD

chrome hedge
#

my cutter is the LTI game package, I plan on bribing somebody to play with it

native crag
#

i have 416 to my store credits atm,, tho i just bought the kraken lol

chrome hedge
#

tbh idk if I really want to keep this as an ironclad

#

it doesnt really interest me

#

but the liberator isnt coming anytime soon and I dont see a reason to apply the CCU to it atm

native crag
#

huh, i bought both ironclads + the paint, because i love industrial ships

chrome hedge
#

I really just love the liberator in particular

native crag
#

it looks like a shoebox tho

chrome hedge
#

my fault, snub-kraken

native crag
#

isnt the liberator an carrier?

chrome hedge
native crag
#

yeah, so its purpose is the same as Kraken, isnt it?

chrome hedge
#

its just a ship transport / landing ship

#

but it can be used as a carrier technically I suppose

#

I totally wasnt planning on using it as one for my nonexistant small ships

native crag
#

xD

chrome hedge
#

at least now that my railen is gone I know what each of my ships are for

native crag
#

well thats neat

chrome hedge
#

is it a good selection, no

#

do I like them, yes

native crag
#

i see nothing wrong with this =))

chrome hedge
#

idk I feel like Im missing some smaller useful stuff

native crag
#

mmm im more of a big-ship kinda guy, tho generally, despite my amount of big military ships (javelin, kraken privateer(well that one is civilian tho), idris, polaris, persus ,, ect) i am more of an industrial guy,, reclaimer, vulture, orion, arrastra, mole, prospector, starfarer, crucible, vulcan,, those things is waht i really love, the military stuff is literly just collectibles for me, that i want to just roam around in every now and then,,, the Javelin i literly plan on just make into a mobile base lel

chrome hedge
#

I'm trying to make a balance on that end

#

Some combat shops and some money makers

#

And also lots of medical

native crag
#

im not getting them to make money, im getting them because i find it fun to play as industrial

#

granted,, these days my money income comes from stealing AI ships and selling em to players 🄓

dang, congrats!!! i woke up specifically for this, and still missed it by whatever millisecond!

golden grove
#

Damnn!! The best luck that I've had personally is adding it to cart, then keeping it there until the next wave (if you don't get it the first time obviously), then just spam the purchase button over and over again until a minute or two into the release.

#

Can always stalk the store the day after, just incase you get any melters.. that's what I did last year, but no luck.

cursive reef
#

is today the last day to get kraken?

golden grove
#

I believe the last wave was roughly 6 hours ago

quiet vortex
#

Yeah the warbond version hasn't been selling out, but the store credit version vaporizes almost instantly every time they release

golden grove

The price for the kraken is just insane.. lmao

i dont have the creds for something like that lol

ok used some of my credits to rebuy the A1 since I think its cool

Does that mean javelin in PU is also right around the corner hmmtomato

Kraken isn’t as in demand since it’s basically in infinite purgatory

#

Almost as bad as BMM but not as bad

slim gulch
#

Pretty much, yes.

#

Idris is done, Javelin is supposedly like, half done??

#

Polaris is also ā€œalmostā€ done.

swift kite
#

I could be speaking out of my ass but I thought the interior was like farther than 75% done

#

Polaris interior is still greybox

swift kite
#

Javelin

slim gulch
#

Ooh. Very nice.

swift kite
#

Since they use it for a lot of SQ42 gameplay stuff

#

Supposedly

slim gulch
#

I want it.

swift kite
#

#

I’ll solo it. Idc what anyone says.

slim gulch
#

Then release it now.

slim gulch
swift kite
#

I’ll ram people if I have to

slim gulch
#

Why is SQ42 holding it back?

slim gulch
junior edge
#

SQ42 needs polishing maybe the same goes for some of those ships?

swift kite
#

I mean most ships need polishing regardless of their state of development

junior edge
swift kite
#

I’d take a javelin that’s half closed off any day as long as they update it over time.

#

I doubt anyone would complain

#

Other than some cry babies maybe

junior edge
#

fair enough, i surely would not complain. But it's understandable that's not within CIG's quality standards, especially when it comes to art

swift kite
junior edge
#

thats one big ship

swift kite
#

I think it’s Chris’s quality standards maybe, idk. Lol

junior edge
#

I'm happy that either chris or someone else has those quality standards

swift kite
#

I’d love to know who is the actual person who decides ā€œoh, it’s done but there’s no gameplay. So no.ā€

junior edge
#

I mean some ships ingame dont have their gameplay yet so i don't see the problem on that end

swift kite
#

Like… did people actually complain about the MSR gameplay loop when it came out? I can’t even remember. If so, why would anyone care? Everyone loves the carrack and like half the ship doesn’t have its stuff implemented.

#

Over half even

#

Because those gameplay loops just don’t exist yet

junior edge
#

Some people still complain about the MSR lol

#

I own an MSR and honestly it's the best daily driver ever. Well polished, plenty of space too

swift kite
#

I know lol. Yet you rarely hear people complain about the carrack other than maybe it’s elevator during quantum.

swift kite
junior edge
#

I mostly do fps stuff or light hauling, and some relaxation exploration on the side, so it's perfect

swift kite
#

I honestly just love cruising in a big fancy ship

#

Even if I’m not doing anything

#

Or doing something casual

junior edge
#

indeed :D the game looks great it's nice to chill like that

swift kite
#

I just wish more key locations had markers

#

Like the lake

#

I wonder if it’s searchable now with the new StarMap

junior edge
#

it's right next to dunbooro (or however it is spelled)

#

at least one of the lakes

#

I can't wait for the day we can mark locations we find and save them

all im gonna say is CIG needs to retroactively give us more ships with naming rights

bold coyote
#

Pretty sure all ships will be nameable at some point

swift kite
#

Otherwise I would’ve looked

orchid shadow
daring python
#

Like, CIG itself giving the ships distinct names ''Caterpillar'' ''Ironclad'', ''Valkyrie'' etc.

#

Those are more kind of names individual owners would give it in your average sci-fi franchise.

#

Whereas the ships would be a ''class'', E.G shipline productions ''Star Destroyer Class'' but an actual specific name would be up to the captain or whatever.

swift kite
#

Is the origin complete pack a limited sale? As in can it sell out?

slim gulch
swift kite
#

Is it LTI?

#

Would have to be right? Since it’s over the $1000 amount?

slim gulch
#

Yup!

gloomy bronze
quiet vortex
#

"Bengal". "Spirit" "reclaimer" are the class / model of ships, then they are named as part of that hull series, similarly to how Navy ships are named - Take for example, the many names of the Arliegh-burke class destroyers, where a single ship bears the name of the class of ship, but there are many other ships in that class with unique names.

orchid shadow
#

its like boats irl

#

people name them different names when they own them but they all have a hull name which describes what the boat actually is

plush smelt
#

As someone already said, there’s the specific model class (Essex class, Takao class) then there’s the role class (carrier, heavy cruiser)
