>Why the fuck do I always have to make the new thread - edition

Hey, I called not it.

>>149221636
We always die when I'm sleeping.

Is there a reason for other ships to exist when all you need is an ASP and a Corvette?

>>149222560
>ASP
Are u serial???

>>149222968
Don't tell me you use a Anaslownda to explore.

objects caught within a planet's gravitational pull in realspace will fall to the surface, which makes them harder to scoop

i'm gonna point my ship to the surface city right below and see what happens

>>149222430

bumplimit, friendo. we proper general now.

>>149223220

continuation: a 722 ton python's terminal velocity seems to be 574m/s

>>149223220
Remember that mines aren't affected by gravity.

>>149222560
>corvette

You misspelled Cobra, CMDR. o7

>>149223334

I know. It just surprised me because I was 3.3Mm above the surface, examining a signal source. The moment I spawned in the stuff just started falling to the ground.

>>149222560
Can a corvette get fucked by a more agile ship, or is it just pure OP?

>>149223807
It can get assfucked by a skilled Vulture like all big ships.

>>149223045

The Anaconda is the best explorer ship in the game if you have no budget.

As in, money to outfit a spare Anaconda for exploration.

>>149224000
The ASP is the best explorer if you're low on budget though.

>>149224309
And why would you be? One afternoon of Sothis fixes you with enough money for a maxed out exploration Conda.

>>149223942
>tfw keep trying to find fun in bigger ships but keep going back to the vulture because gotta go fast and turn faster

>>149223942
I find this very stupid. Why waste millions on credits on a Corvette when a competent Volture or even a Viper can run around it in circles and ass blast it? It's like tank against motorcycles, no matter how skilled one might be with one they shouldn't be able to even dent the hull.

>>149226043
To poorly quote ftroop:
"We don't want people who have large ships to be indestructible by people who don't"

And to paraphrase that: "We want dads to stand a chance [in their Cobra MkIII]"
Also, do you know why the Dadbra has the fastest boost speed (if you don't count iEagle)?

But yes. It is a bit stupid that hugeass ships don't have passive defence against tiny ships, in the form of really strong shields or something. But because getting an A graded Conda takes roughly 150 hours of playing (without Sothis, mind you. With Sothis it's probably around 45 from the second you start) it would just cause people to fly large ships and nobody would even bother with 80% of the ships in game.

>>149226536
>>149226043
I think it makes a lot of sense. You're not supposed to 1v1 in any of the large ships. They're meant to be played with fighter bros on your wing.

>>149226990
If only we could have that level of interactivity with players. Imagine if there was a grouping/matchamking possibility.
A mission:
>A pirate lord on the loose!
>He has been seen flying a Conda
>Accept mission
>Starport would have an option: Look for wingmates, specify need for wingmates, specify price you would pay them (optional).

>>149226990
The problem is that it's actually very easy to 1v1 a decently fitted Anaconda/Corvette with a Volture.

>>149227354
Exactly, his point was that it would make sense that large ships should be unbeatable in 1v1 by small ships.

Now I remember why I don't take fucking missions at all. I have no idea what to do. They tell me I can find them in X system but this shit is gigantic how do I know where to look?

>>149226536
>ships don't have passive defence against tiny ships
But they do, smaller ships are limited to smaller hardpoints witch do less damage to larger ships. The vulture, however, breaks that mold hard by mounting large weapons though.

>>149227732
Is there a Nav Beacon? Go scan it, will tell you precisely where to go look for it.
Otherwise the mission icon tells you it is a planetary mission, so:
>Land on planet
>Get that SRV going
>Find loot
>If you roll double sixes it will Structural Regulators.

>spend several hours looking for last 3 mats for engie mod
>1 quest reward mat, 2 uss mats
>nothing found, no progress made in an entire evening

why is this allowed?

>>149228589
Not everything in life always goes to plan. Don't be an entitled millennial wanting instant gratification and everything just given to you!

Fly safe CMDR o7

>>149227427
>>149227354
Actually my argument is that it's perfectly fine vultures (and whatever else) can 1v1 corvettes, or at least it would be if the game worked as it clearly intends for you to play it. That is to say, fdev clearly want big ships to be glass cannons, not fortresses, and they want them flanked by wingmen in fighters to fight off the vultures and whatnot. Problem is we've got hardly any of the systems in place for that kind of gameplay to occur naturally. We need fighter bays, parasite fighters, guilds, stuff like >>149227228 mentioned, and a host of other stuff implemented. As it is now, they're all just big bullseyes.

>>149229340
What are you even saying? Vultures, Vipers even Cobras can fuck Condas and Corvettes up without the need of those systems you mention.

>>149229792

Condas and Corvettes need those systems, not the small ships. Reading comprehension.

Have the devs shown how multi crew will work? Will the crew be AI?

>implying anyone who knows how to play this game wouldn't fly one.

>>149228029

That's the one thing I hate about the salvage missions. Even with the scan telling you what planet to go to, it's obvious as fuck that you have to fly around the planet for a random amount of time before the mission objective spawns.

>>149231785

I got it up to 607 after boosting and then turning off the engines.

When I finish grinding for my current engie mod I'm gonna load a 404t cargo conda with shit and do the same

>>149228589

I spent days looking for the mission reward mats I needed. I actually have most of them but I'm just tired of looking and having to carry shit in my cargo bay that I wont need unless I have the mats that NEVER FUCKING SHOW UP ANYWHERE EVER.

The engi "fix" that's coming probably wont help at all. It'll probably just make it worse.

>>149227732

Stupid option: Just drift through the system looking for degraded or encoded signal sources. There is a small chance that any one of them will have your mission objective.

Smart option: Drop into the nav beacon and passive scan it, or if you have a discovery scanner nevermind the beacon and just honk it. You will be told where to look. Get within 0.5ls of the planet specified and drift looking for signal sources. In this case it's much more likely to show up and will even be identified as your mission objective before you even drop into it.

>>149231907

500 was pretty much the limit around the beta/release of horizons because of a soft cap on velocity. You couldn't push anything much further than that regardless of circumstances because of exponentially diminishing returns on speed.

That cap has since been relaxed so I'm curious to know what sort of terminal velocity a T9 can reach now.

I don't like the conda for exploration just because its supercruise maneuverability is shit and that makes it a chore to pull away from stars / align with destination.

Fucked if I know. I'm not holding hopes up for anything.

>>149243092
New station designs and interiors. 's what I heard.
When is gamescom?

>>149244315
17.-21.8. so roughly a month to go.

I don't think it will happen but if they actually add walking on stations, ships and first person shooting, they'll have to re-model pretty much everything. Most of it looks great on a distance but as soon as you get close it has the look of a PS2 model.

>>149244620
And that is the reason why this game runs so well. And that is why I don't care about walking around shit.
I can get immersed enough sitting on my poopstool in my cockpit and just looking around.

>>149244680
True, the game is much less in need of more half-baked, buggy, grindy, shitty features than it is an expansion of the core game mechanics. I wish they'd just take a few patches to flesh out and give more purpose to the main professions, instead of tacking on more shit that no one wants.

What other purpose would the main professions have? They do what they're meant to do, I don't think there's not much else to do with them.

>>149247791
Purpose, not much without player guilds and expansion. They could vastly improve gameplay with added mechanics though.

Imagine if exploration was more than honking, and paid decently.

>>149248039
What if through concentrated play effort a system started gaining more population and lesser systems started losing...and need for different items?

>>149247476
Cobra is the only option of the ones you listed. You'll want to A-rate the FSD and get an advanced discovery scanner.

>>149250661
Sothis runs.

>>149247791
Not him. I'd like more immersion stuff. Like, say, an assassination mission where they're on the surface of a planet, and when you get in range they try to rush their SRV to their ship, you could destroy the ship and try to shoot the SRV in the air as he flees, destroy the ship then land and have a SRV fight, cripple the ship and wait for him to board to finish it off, or let him board and dogfight him. It'd just be nice to have more variety.

>>149251325
Sothis doesn't do shit for ranks. I'm better off doing regular missions. I want systems like Shu Babassi 'm shiet.

Am I reading this right? No more commodities required for upgrades, which effectively removes the need for cargo storage? Only one of each material needed for an upgrade, and the frequency of drops and number of mats per drop is being increased?

Did Ftroop actually do good?

>>149284165

Storage would still be nice. I hate having to swap for D rate modules and sell weapons to increase jump range if I have to travel, and then hoping there's a high tech system somewhere so I can rebuy my modules. It'd be a lot easier if you could pack modules in your ship to ferry them with you.

>>149284165
>Did Ftroop actually do good?
Yeah, instead of bothering with implementing storage they removed the need for it. Brilliant.

>>149284723

Module storage is incoming, along with the ability to transfer ships between stations without having to manually fly there, and some form of hiring NPC pilots. It's all listed in the new journal thing coming with 2.2. Also it looks like Powerplay is getting a little love in the near future, some kind of voting system is being implemented, presumably to give players more influence over what their power does and reduce the effects of 5c activities.

Holy shit, it just blows my mind that people can play long enough to earn high-tier combat ships and have literally no idea how to play. Good job cobro.

Reflective armor.

What's the hell ?

>Vulture bro is used to gimbals and isn't aware of silent running, and thus is a terrible shot
>Pulse lasers aren't strong against a fully hull-tanked ship, especially if you are barely landing any hits
>Cobro probably has reflective armor, reducing his damage taken from lasers even further

FDL ho and Vulture bro have no idea what they're doing, Cobro does

>>149298465
They're pretending to be cops. Routine traffic stops sometimes involve checking headlights/turn signals/brake lights to see if they're functional.

>>149298667
He was wanted, why wouldn't they just jump straight to """""detaining""""" him?

>>149295957
The RPers weren't even trying there, that FDL was sitting in place trying to outturn a FAoff cobra, and the vulture was shooting untargeted for the first half of the fight, and he was completely out of power in seconds. A competent vulture with a decent fit would have eaten that cobra alive.

>>149298667
Yeah I got that. But this isn't real life. What's the fucking point doing this shit ?

>>149298486
Plus the one in the vulture is using a controller which is shit for aiming manually so he got double fucked

This whole thing was perfect for the cobra pilot

>>149298907
Don't tell me you're one of those psychotic grinding min/maxing griefer entitled millenials, CMDR! The true joy in this game is getting lost in the deep lore and using your imagination to pretend you're part of a living, breathing universe, just like I did in 1984! Why can't these sociopaths understand such a simple concept? No hope for this generation, I say.

Fly safe CMDRs o7

>>149298853
Probably pretending they don't know he's wanted. Beats me.

>>149298907
Immersion I guess. Also because they get off to having power.

They want to pretend to be cops, but they didn't even bother learning the terminology.

I don't think it'll be enough though. I'm looking at the changes and they look great, but it doesn't change the fact that engineers is still tedious as fuck and doesn't do anything other than give your ship percentage upgrades. They make the overall grind go by faster so you can grind more in less time.

I really am holding out for a BGS update and Powerplay revamp. What this game needs is more ways to influence the galaxy, and not simply changing flavortext on the system status screen or changing colors on the galaxy map.

>>149301047

That's a man, baby.

>>149302531
>>149265930
Why can't they just change the recipes and roll out a hotfix now instead of rolling it out with all these other changes that take way more time and effort like surface scanners telling you exactly and how much, leading to their timeframe being "we'll give you a timeframe within the next couple weeks" meaning it could be months from now? Why does fdev have to needlessly complicate things that would make players happy in the present?

I mean, I'm glad it's coming, I really am, and I don't mean to shit all over a good thing, but there's no reason to bundle changing a few items and quantities around with all that other stuff.

>>149303802
Check out packhounds. Itano Circus, man.

>>149304287
Agreed. There's a lot of potential in both the BGS and Powerplay to give this game a proper "end game," but we all know FD is just going to continue bolting on more buggy, grindy garbage instead.

Data delivery and skimmer destruction stacking

There isn't really a great place to do skimmer stacking for either faction but shu babassi for the empire and sothis for the feds works okay for data stacking, and by okay I mean suicidally ineffective, but that's all there is right now.

I'd wait for the next patch. Maybe if we're lucky they'll make ranking easier or something decent for grinding will appear

Is the Phyton worth it for combat only or should I just stick to the Vulture?

>>149310532
The FAS is pretty much the vulture Mk.II so I'd say it's an upgrade

What weapon should I use in the FDL huge hardpoing?

>>149311034
depends what you have going on in your mediums, some common setups include 4 medium multis and a huge beam, or 4 medium pulses and a huge multi

try out the huge PA if you're a good shot

>>149310921
>>149310787
I thought the FAS had worse maneuverability?

>>149311034
For infinite RES/CZ farming, I like 2 medium and 1 huge fixed pulse, and 2 gimballed beams to keep pressure up between passes or on smaller, harder to hit targets

>>149311034
One huge beam, 4 pack hounds

Take your enemies to the circus.

>>149311201
only marginally, a decent pilot can keep an FAS in any NPC's blind spot basically forever


plus grade 5 dirty drives make the difference in agility negligible for almost any ship outside the big ones

>>149309570
pythons a good miner too.

dont judge me

>>149311034
Beam, PA or MC are always good choices

>>149311201
Yeah but not by much.
In return you get better internals, two medium hardpoints on top of the two large and the option from more interesting builds.
Problem is you'll have to grind the rank for it

>>149311480
nah, mining, while not super profitable, is probably the comfyest profession in game

I still never figured out if two mining lasers were actually better than one. this was also back a year ago.

Its worse than a vulture. Not much worse than an fdl. Im not fa off genius so that might be even better

>>149317983
FAS has stronger thrusters than the FDL.
Think of it like this, the FDL likes to fight in lines, the FAS likes to fight in circles, and ram when it can.

>>149319775

The FAS is slightly more maneuverable than the FDL, Before the FDL got its maneuverability buff the FAS was significantly more maneuverable. Its lateral thrust game is still significantly better than the FDL's though.

One thing that isn't really covered on paper is how the FAS retains a lot of its maneuverability outside the blue zone on the throttle.

But I want to know how to stay close to bad guys, in their blind spot.

Go to a RES and try to stay behind a pirate that's trying to scan you

Silent running my man

Okay, fair enough. So do you just fly through the game in FAOff permanently, eventually? Or do you still turn it on for simple stuff like docking?

Guys I'm scared. What if that alien probe means Jews are going to appear in the game?

>>149324186
They'te already in. Just go to Sothis.

What's the point of this game?

Grind for days and then go blow people up or what?

I love sims, and space sims, but reading everything about the game has made me hold off. Has it ever had a 50+ percent off sale?

AFK turreting still works?

It hurts so much. I just want some dirty drives...

How much armor does your ship need to be considered a tank? over 2k?

>>149325392

Exactly 2133.8

Or, you know, whenever your ship can take a lot of unshielded damage compared to other ships of its weight class or above.

How accurate are point defense?

I hear frag cannons are OP with the inf ammo, that true?

Extremely, probably 100%. Never seen one outright miss. They do have magazines though, so they can be overwhelmed by massive spam. Luckily their reload time is automated and pretty short. They also carry a fuckload of ammo. One is enough for most ships, two or three will be enough for the largest ships, in different spots to cover several angles.

Beware that they cannot shoot down torpedoes. (I think)There may also be engineer mods for missiles to make them more resistant to hits from point defences. Not sure of this either. I do know however that you can purchase special missile launchers from a pledging to a power, that fires multiple missiles at once, making a hit more likely.

Still a challenge to get through a PD, though. Absolutely worth to put one or two on any ship you might be shot at in. Plus, they shoot green lasers which look and sound really awesome, especially if they're shooting at mines in front of you.

The Anaconda has so many hardpoints I don't know what to put.

Should be noted that if your opponent has packhound racks your PDs will be f u c k e d.

I usually go with three on my Python. I hope at least most of the missiles would go down.

Some AI are very stupid. This pirate followed me all the way to a station and started shooting me even when I was already inside.

Try ECM.

If you time it accurately and activate right when your opponent launches his torpedo/packhounds I think you may be very amused by the result.
