There was a man so wise
He jumped into
A sandy place
And burnt out both his eyes!
And when he knew his eyes were gone,
He offered no complaint.
He summoned up a vision
And made himself a saint.

>>154101164
Your minor faction rep decreases slower and increases faster the higher your standing with the controlling superpower.

So if Dindus of Urvantju are controlled by the Federation, and your Fed rep was 100%, doing missions for them would increase your rep faster and doing shit against them would degrade your rep slower.

>>154102790

Nah it's got the super powerplant by default. Regardless it's only meant to be like 30,000 KG vs the regular Lancer's 28,000 KG so not insane difference.

>>154102974
Powerplant doesn't matter.

Even fighters have different top speeds and handling from a few missiles, or removal of chin turret systems. The MIS will logically be slower and less agile.

Which is fine, because its a support ship. If you're dogfighting with it you're a moron.

>>154102974
I can't wait for the massive burst of butthurt when Freelancer owners first fly their ship with a full load of cargo in the hold.

>>154101972
Looks like it has evolved a little bit. I still think it looks silly.

Honestly I just believe that when Constellation owners get access to the cargobay torp bay they'll start complaining at the fact they have no cargo capacity and their ship still handles worse than when it was empty.

>>154103269
Even the Super Hornet with its juiced up parts loses about 10 from its SCM speed vs the base Hornet.

The MIS dropping to 160 wouldn't be unreasonable, I'm more worried that it would end up slower than massive ships like the Constellation or Starfarer because CIG likes to draw SCM speeds out of a hat, it seems sometimes.

I really like the Herald and the fact that it's mostly thrusters. Wish they'd make a cargo version as a "blockade runner" that could be used to move small amounts of cargo between planets quickly.

>>154104303
If we're talking intended purpose it's the Cutlass.

But I would wait until after the rework before actually upgrading.

>>154104303
Cutlass. Make sure you get the Flashfire Specialty Mount and a S4.


>>154104391
You can physically carry small cargo onboard, but you may as well use the Herald for what it's supposed to be: Blockade running data.

There is Aditi which is the empire equivalent, which gives missions that are half as distant for half the reward. Unfortunately it's also out of the boom so there's not as many freight missions.

Need to wait until people do enough missions to put these systems back in boom states.

Curious to hear your reasoning. They seem pretty evenly matched to me.

>>154104859
Cutlass is, or will be, a straight upgrade from the Avenge in every regard except for speed. Cutlass has great cargo, crew capacity, weaponry, shields, powerplant. You can fit a lot of firepower on a Cutlass.

>>154104859
Personally I think the Avenger is too weakly armed, with its main firepower coming from a ballistic weapon that can and will run out of ammunition.

It doesn't lend itself toward salvage operations, and its cargo capacity is tiny.

I still think the Cutlass is small and agile enough to dogfight with, and is better in every other regard, especially when thinking about making money.

>>154104859
Well, they are similar ships, but the Avenger is a small fighter with a very small cargo bay, whereas the Cutlass has more cargo, more weapons, and a few seats in case you want to bring friends. Basically, it has a lot more flexibility in its role than the Avenger does.

It's really up to you if price isn't a factor.

>>154103903
Now I remember why I stopped going to the forums.

Wait, why doesn't ED have cargo storage?

>>154101561
It's gone now though

Is it going to come back to the shop?

>>154104487
>you may as well use the Herald for what it's supposed to be: Blockade running data.
Yeah but there doesn't seem to be a blockade runner for cargo. Like a freelancer who's main cargo bay has been replaced more thrusters.

>>154105204
because the gameplay is that you find places that sell cheap, guess at where it buys high, and take the loss if you fucked up?

>muh convenience

git gud

What's the deal with ship re-works? Do we know the schedule or which ships are considered "complete"?

Obviously the Hornet is getting reworked now,what' next?

>>154105439

What about when you have a ship full of cargo which isn't currently useful, but will be later?

You just get railroaded into either using it NOW or dumping it?

I can't stand how they die over and over and over, but continue to do the same retarded bullshit because they'll just beg devs on the forum to pay the insurance cost.
How can being retarded and shitty be fun for these monkeys? It's not even satisfying flyswatting them en-masse. I know they don't care, and that in their lizard-like brain they only have an urge to grind. They don't care if they are wrong, they don't care why they're wrong, they don't care about what could make the game better.
It's unreal, and I legitimately hate these fucking moronic dads.
Yes I am aware that if they stop playing, Frontier will have some rough time due to the playerbase drop. That's fine. I don't even care. If it means every scumfuck vidyafather on the face of the galaxy is exterminated once and for all, it's fine.

I hope so. Length wise it looks like it should be about two avengers.

>>154110665
>>154110548

Shield "size" no longer exists with the new item port system. Just saying.

It'll have a bigger shield (or rather, more of them) but it won't necessarily be directly comparible to the Constellation.

>>154110556
It'll be included hardware but you can probably just buy it in the PU.

If you're wanting just speed, grab the Herald as it should be faster.

>>154109705
>>154109483
But i want to explore with comfy spaceshitter :(

>>154110751
Shield size = Shield capacity. If two ships on the old system have the same size then they'll have the same expected capacity. So we can expect a Cutlass Blue will use the "Medium" ship shield units of the Constellation.

>>154110836
They need to add the space shitter first.

Avenger is shit, everyone is just going to step over it from the Aurora directly to a larger ship in the PU. Even the NPCs police are choosing in favor of the Gladius these days.

>>154112675
Nope. There's an option to peace out and fade to black where you are replaced by an NPC version of you and it's like a lite death OR you can ride it out all the way and see how things play out or if you're a roleplay fag like me.

Ftfy.

avenger should have been a paddywagon / small hauler with an opening canopy instead of the retarded cockpit door

That'd be the Endeavor. Slaveship would just be playing naked inmates vs Harmbaton secuirty.

Man there was a toy commercial I saw for Tailspin as a kid with a toy of the Sea Duck in it and I wanted that shit so bad. I didn't care about any of the other toys, I wanted that plane.

Tried to look for it, but just found happy meal toys. Pity.

Has anyone combed through the descriptions on the star map to figure out all the potential economic planet types and map it out?

IE mining planets, etc.

The sea duck is pretty neat.

I forgot the name of it but it's a shame the show Talespin was based on is not really available anywhere.

What do we want to happen here?

Transfer time seems reasonable? Considering there's online elements to the game, and it's fairly slow paced generally.

>>154117021
There's a filter option for that.

Most valuable areas will be undiscovered asteroid fields which you pay explorers for the location

Where's the video of Chris talking about ship pricing and stuff?

Does anyone have the chart showing the size difference between elite and sc ships? I forgot to save it.

>it's an 'trawl through a million USS's to find rebel transmissions' mission

Did they change these or something in the past year? I'm on my tenth signal source, and all I can find is Horizons materials.

>>154118624
Did you fire your discovery scanner or scan the nav beacon to find the mission USS?

>>154117975
Instant, because the game is already slow as fuck as it is, sitting in a station for two hours waiting for your ship to arrive is fucking awful. Not to mention as Sarco said, it'll delay the 2.2 patch because they'll have to code a lot more for it.

>>154118715
Nope. Didn't know that you needed discovery scanners for anything but exploration. I'll try the nav beacon.

It's been a while since I played. Thanks, anon.

>>154118839

It'll most likely give you a planet to go to and once there you can just slow the fuck down in supercruise and a mission signal should pop up after a bit.

>>154118839
Yeah, people hated USS hunting so they added the option to use a discovery scanner or scanning the nav beacon to find mission USS. It's listed in the mission description. The nav beacon also automatically scans every planet in the system when you scan them, so there's a reason to visit nav beacons now. It's one of the recent(?) changes I like.

Other stuff is like putting the mission targets for hauling on the nav tab on the left display, which speeds up the game in that I don't have to look at the system or galaxy map anymore.
