>ED info: pastebin.com/AEU0TuVt Be aware, Thargroots are currently grabbing ships out of witchspace and giving out complementary rectal probings, it is advised you shoot the fuck out of them whenever possible, or just go with it if that's your thing, I ain't tellin you how to live. Apparently the Ayylmaos are rumbling again, inquire within if this means goddamned thing or if its just Braben trying to scare up some more money.

But nowadays we would be more likely to use smaller, more versatile bomber, hence the Eclipse.
> Speculation from various planned features and what FPS allow:
- scan & discovers jump point (radar stuff, unless stated other ship should be able to do that too) - travel while mapping jump point from inside (radar stuff) - long distance scanning system (radar stuff) - long distance quantum-travel (laaaarge fuel tank, cause there's no fuel station there) - survive space/planetary condition (equipment?/special armor/shield slot?) - land - carry a rover/bike (to exterminate natives and carry priceless artifact) - retrieve sciency sample (cargo), or even capture animals in cage - take seed and try to cultivate them (only one ship boasted about space-farming the Endeavor) - process science (medical lab or maybe a science module) - heal yourself from the poisonous fauna/flora (medical bay) - survive eventual ultra-advanced and dangerous alien precursor-technology - or discovers the wreck&cadavers of a previous human exploration team who didn't make it back home - make it back home

>tfw your favorite ship won't be flight ready for at least a year, maybe more.
On one hand it's sorta sad because I'm stuck with loaners even during the 3.0+ state, but on the other the redesign will be probably be really good since they'll have almost everything locked down and they'll know exactly how to build the thing into the world as opposed to building it hoping it works with the world.
Also here's hoping shitty turrets are removed, power armor station is added, and that it can drop a Rover from the skycrane like a Pelican from Halo.

>remeemer rework is the tali going to receive the same treatment now that the eclipse has taken her place?

*deftly maneuvers behind your fully-equipped javelin*
psshhh.... nothing personnel.
*eclipse teleports in front of your bridge and vaporizes the command crew*
*instantly begins fragging the ship's population and pops your vessel without allowing a single lifepod to escape using his size ten FUCK-K1LL3R brand torpedoes*
try again kiddo...

You had one fucking job to do as OP.
All you had to do was read the damn last posts, OP.
Wyatt Reed
new ship when?
Brody Jenkins
god damn. Nothing like these mass suicides on the surface of Kosmala Rewards. Nothing beats this gameplay
I wish, but I heard the Tali is already 100% made with the AEGIS style. Maybe if it lack the proper destruction mesh? But even CIG is probably already using it for SQ42
It's barely less minmaxed than the pict in the last thread, mine laying? really? At least it doesn't have the two corridor
And remove the frigging VTOL clusterfuck, they aren't even placed at the center of mass anyway.
Isaiah Williams
I wanna break 300M tomorrow. I just dont know how much I need to build decent ship. Not even bothering with the big three tho
Bentley Russell
~350 million should be enough to A-rate a Python and leave you a comfortable buyback buffer.
Dylan Cruz
well I have been eyeing Imperial Courier and Federal Gunship. If I could max both I would have two ships that handle and play very differently. Then I would also like to have have some ship for passenger missions
Mason James
>tfw this slick social commentary piece will never be featured because it's too bold and taboo
Use this for prototyping: coriolis.edcd.io/ You'll know exactly how much you're gonna need and then gauge on how much you want.
Jace Robinson
what ship would you use for passenger missions?
Aiden Jones
I have unlimited money so I'd use the Beluga or Orca. But hell any ship will do so long as you don't want to transport luxury passengers for luxury cabins only go to the Beluga/Orca/Dolphin ships.
Orca is the true memeship
Jose James
Orca looks nice. Is the large landing pad requirement a huge downside tho? Can it be used for hauling/mining?
Nolan Martin
What ship makes the passenger plane *ding* sound again when you boost? I require a video of it.
My A-rated all-multicannon gimbals Funship is just over 100 mil. iCourier is considerably less than that, around 20 mil probably.
Also, consider Orca. Such a wonderful ship, you won't want to fly anything else. They changed it at some point. From memeship with no passenger cabins and a jump range of a heavy assault ship, it's pretty good for general cruisin' now. I think they cut off some of its fats, so shields and FSD are quite a bit better.
But if you want to grind 10 minute hypervacations, consider a ship with maximum amount of optional internals - despite of the size. Sightseeing missions are usually just a few people who reserve a whole cabin.
Caleb Russell
It depends a lot, it could be a great mission filter. E.g. Sothis-Ceos, large-only restricts missions to stations, no detours to outposts. On the other hand, flying outside of a bubble too far could be dangerous
Orca.
Joseph Cox
well im not going to lie, Orca looks sexy as hell. I will gladly sacrifice some efficiency for the sake of aesthetics, for example I loved Adder because it sounded so good and had nice view from cockpit
For gunship I was thinking about going for fighterbay + gimbaled cannons
Carson Perry
Look at this ass and buy an Orca.
Jack Howard
These games are like their general
Dead
Go home space dads
John Ward
Efficiency? Large cargo/passenger space, decent FSD range, fastest among large ships and handles gracefully.
Well, there are a couple of downsides that I might have forgotten to mention. It's long. Very long. If a mission brings you to a landing on, say, bumpy edge of a crater - good luck finding an acceptable landing spot - you better learn to drive fast. Another problem from that is cargo scoop, if you want to pick-up stuff in space, you better do it without rush.
Pic related. It was in a very dark shade which made everything harder. Then the mission glitched out, scans gave me data but didn't update the mission and i had to return.
Still more fun than doing the spreadsheets.

wouldnt Imperial Clipper be better than Orca tho?

Isaac Lee
Why do you force yourselves to talk about Star Citizen? I don't know why I keep coming back.
Like half of a single solar system out of 100 is several months away, and we haven't heard much about the majority of game systems being worked on. Just space ships (jpgs) and moons.
The stretch goals on this thing are like 4 years away at this rate, and that's only IF they stop pumping out more ship concepts.
I hope I can limit my visits to these crap threads to like every 3 months. Good luck to you guys.
Jaxson Green

Has derek gone too far this time, is there anything he wont do to stop SC from coming out.
Jayden Kelly
Tears are no longer enough Sandi, I thirst for blood.
Cooper Anderson
Derek you have to be stopped.
Jaxon Parker
God those kinds of exploration mechanics would be amazing. Even if a quarter of that made it in I would be happy.
Hudson Peterson
it was better
Jordan Martin
Dunno, man, while I liked the concept art, I'm pretty happy with how the ship turned out, inside and out.
Jayden King
The urge to buy more spaceships is so strong
Dominic Martin
buy an eclipse, goyim.
don't you want to PVP competitively?
Andrew Cooper
>implying it will be good for anything but sealclubbing the unsuspecting noobs on Auroras.
Alexander Fisher
Well I do want at least one ship with LTI
John Diaz
lti is a joke bens fatass killed it

How many people are doing Quince and other shit? The Space IRA could use more manpower.
Julian Ross
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! I CANNOT BE STOPPED.
Also, PVP in an Eclipse? Against Monoboating Hornets? Are you mad? You'll get vaporized.
Caleb Peterson
You are weak.
Landon Campbell
I swear, every time I see this, I think he gets bigger. In real life and in the picture.
Lincoln Perry
I was about to make a spergy "teleports katana: Unsheathes behind you" post, but then I had a better thought.
The Vanguard and tally use the same turrets right? Will tally be able to rig a bunch of the Sentinels EWAR turrets and be the ultimate jamming ship?
John Roberts
Is the Eclipse just a gankship?
Nathan Adams
Its an org fleet ship, specialized for killing stuff alrger than itself, more or less useless alone, but quite dangerous if its part of a larger plan. Like the F-117 its job will be to strike first beforre the target is aware and neutralize some important defensive system, alternately It could be used for deniable attacks against targets your not supposed to be hitting.
Parker Clark
I just wanted spess legs
Dylan Collins
FD already said that space legs won't be coming any time soon. Keep in mind that "soon" to Frontier means 4-6 months.
Adam Ortiz
Come home, space man.
Kayden Long
I hate that I'll probably be atmospheric landing in SC before I do so in ED
Levi Russell
I'm entertaining myself with engies. Gonna unlock those dirty-dirty thrusters today.
Zachary Walker
I went and looked. Technically it looks like you can attach the Sentinel turret to the Retaliator, but I doubt it has the proper connections or internal hardware to make it work. The Vanguard Sentinel has specific E-War dedicated equipment stuffed into its escape pod in place of things that would be nice to have in the event you have to, you know... Escape.
Colton Bailey
Man if only the tally had large internal spaces which could be repurposed for uses besides their initial intent.
Evan Thomas
Makes sense. They need to wrap up Horizons first and do so along the explorations theme.
Spess legs are for running from spess aliens. But I still hope they make one-time -only excruciatingly long unskippable animation of you walking from the station to the ship and boarding it.
Worth the wait, I want them to do a good job on the atmospheric composition and clouds. Though it would really fit 2.4 if they added at least thin atmosphere landing.
Wyatt Sanders
Won't help if you don't re-engineer the interior to have the proper information connections to the turrets.
Jeremiah Reed
Are all ED money-making schemes dead still, or have more shown up?
Dominic Russell
i bought the $60 mustang or whatever and went into the universe and shit like wtf 20 fps and you people say this game is good I can't even fite against the pirates because this shit ship is garbage like wtf yeah pay to win will be this games lifeblood fuck you shitizens I'm going back to elite
Benjamin Bell
It's like Im really in 2013 again.
Colton Hughes
they already have power, data, cooling pipes to each turret, not like each gun has its own sensor array, they're all feeding from the ships primary radar.
Isaac Ortiz
if any fucking dad think they are tough enough to play outside of solo mode i swear to god ill blow their anaconda up real fucking quick
Jacob Flores
Yeah I hope they don't half ass the atmospheres. I'm really hoping they include gas giants too but that might just be a pipe dream
Logan Jones
I thought dads didnt play in solo. Thats the reason they whine about pvp so much, they ahve MUH IMMERSHUN pbjections to solo mode but also don't want to be bother by those durned kids and their pee vee pee.
>mature gamers that don’t mind you going afk without notice or hearing your screaming household while you play. group of people that spent the first half of their life attaining status and possession, and the second half trying to escape it.
Joseph Thomas
It's a weird to think about a tech demo having orgs
Jose Cook
I can't remember if I'm in open or solo, but I'd imagine it's open given all the ships flying away from a Quince outpost
Or do they have NPCs doing more missions in parallel in solo now?
Josiah Powell
If I bought an Eclipse, how long do you think it would be before I actually get to fly it?
Sebastian Lewis
3 Months minumum likely, It may be an SQ42 ship in which case its fast track if its not, who knows might not be a for a long while.
The upside is that you get both a Tally and glad as loaners for it.
Brody Harris
>177540921 The change with the lifepods was just because I seen dozens of complaints about having the lifepod way the fuck away from most of the ships. And I just threw a messhall into the old space for lack of anything else to put there.
Likewise a lot of people have complained about a lack of crew stations since every other multicrew ship has them, even the Retaliator's concept art
The bathroom/shower area is already on the ship, in fact I'd make it smaller than the current design. And the med bay is just the currently pointless captain's quarters.
But yeah, the small cargo plates was probably pushing it.
Colton Hughes
What ancient ass post are you linking to?
Joseph Anderson
Guys reddit just cyber bullied me once again. I was simply saying that SQ42 had no chance or coming out this year and they got all pissy. Can we raid them just one time?
Joseph Phillips
Press escape to see the mode. Or Ctrl+B to see bandwidth. If it's low, within 200 B/s you are alone
Anthony Turner
Wow there is a news van ship? Man they really think of everything
Andrew Butler
Not to mention that actual commando would have CMDR to their name if their chariot is targeted. Or that players have unfilled radar marks.
Did these sidewinders plunk themselves into the ground to respawn faster? Anyway, mass suicide is a sad thing, don't engage in it.
Jonathan Williams
Is this a game yet?
Blake Nguyen
It was a surprisingly fun arena combat space game for awhile, they then fucked that up with horrible ship balance and terrible flight mechanic changes in preparation for an mmo that's still years out
Alexander Bailey

Austin Bell
The patent expired
Anthony Gray
like trolling on Veeky Forums, raiding reddit is a waste of time, they're nothing but a giant circle jerk on literally any sub and they will explain away any thing and everything presented in a raid as "evil trolls, goons and smarties" The only thing ever worthwhile is making a standalone post and just letting it fly free, hope some borderline cultists see it and get the message. But there is no sane discussion to be had on reddit you will be drown out by legions of delusionals and drones.
Pissing into an ocean of piss.
