>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.

I am glad that the spectrum forums are not taking this piece of crap excuse like blinded cultists, at least not all of them, anyways
Parker Sanchez
ayy I was just saltily making a new one for like the fifth time in a row. thanks user.
Andrew Moore
Assuming that the new ship is roughly 30-40m wide and similarly long and it's supposed to be an alternative to the Retaliator (less/smaller torpedos but it has pilot controlled guns instead), would it even be good in theory? Also if that picture is any indication it doesn't have a silly top-mounted turret, that's a plus in my book.
Jonathan Gutierrez
I need my space awacs.
Tyler Adams
I hate cig drones more every day. They are actually vigorously defending this CCU bullshit.
Sebastian Cruz

Ayden Gomez
Strange, I thought spectrum was full reddit, but there is a big cut of them throwing shit at CiG. There is still hope.
Josiah Edwards
Until the threads get locked and those users get banned because spectrum is an official forum, under direct control of the developers and thus criticism will not be tolerated.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
Are the same mods still in charge?
Anthony Bailey
you tell me I never used RSI or paid attention to its mod staff because official forums are literally always a shitty hugbox devoid of free thought.
Adrian Turner
We need more funny shops in the OP, this is just bland.
Inb4 it's a bathtub that pops up on its back. And there's plenty of space under the ship.
Liam Collins
That image is such a guesstimate, and need I remind you that the original Vanguard concept had a turret that folded flush into the hull
Owen Nelson
...
Ethan Perez
Last time an user tried to estimate the Hurricane size and that turned out to be correct. But then again, the image back then actually had something to work with instead of pure speculation.
Daniel Thomas
>copy/pasta To me they already planned a certain balance. But they are now fearing that player will just exchange their ship for the "best" one once the stats are finale and the ship flyable
They wanted diversity at launch but are starting to see that some will minmax to get the most for their moneys. They never had a chance, players will always bitch about their ship not being OP
Nathaniel Campbell
After however many years you've used the internet, how have you not learned that any forum moderator on any forum is a piece of power-hungry shit who has no friends or relevance in real life and wields an iron fucking fist online?
Not sure if Spectrum mods do it for free but I wouldn't be surprised.
Jayden Gomez
What, so they 'fix' it by getting more money? How does that balance anything?
Liam Young
>CIG are racist >CIG bans people who use racist slurs which is it goons
Juan Hill
Remember this trainwreck last year?
Kevin Taylor
I still can't believe that someone actually made a 3d model, albeit a shitty one, for a elaborate troll.
Logan Torres
Well firstly one of the images of the B-21 isn't even a B-21, its an X-47B, an unmanned drone a fraction of the size. So that triggers me.
But yes, the vanguard being the same shape doesn't mean its the same size at all.
Hunter Clark
>implying CIG is one man. >implying a man couldn't be racist, yet get triggered when his holy Nihon land is offended. You... you cultist!
Isaiah King
>user's carefully constructed bait from last thread is actually the second most upboated comment in the thread Color me surprised.
Colton Long
>y-you're entitled to nothing I hate this community so much
Juan Wilson
Entitlement mentality is a cancer in most areas of modern life, but not when you have actually paid for something. What is the perception of this entitlement mentality based on? We paid for this shit. If there were no backers, there would be no CIG. I try to be reasonable and see all sides of an issue, but this looks like straight up astroturfing. This has to be more than simple delusion. I could accept trolling over people thinking they owe CIG for anything.
tl;dr Take your big passenger ship to Sothis and run passengers and Boom delivery for quick Fed rank.
Cooper Wright
Is everyone ready for Hornet tears, now that the Gladius is getting at least 2 x S3 in 3.0?
Jaxon Cooper
It's still way undergunned compared to a Bucc. I'm not sure about tears, but Gladys will be slightly less useless.
Leo Richardson
>now that the Gladius is getting at least 2 x S3 in 3.0?
Oh you wish
Ryan Powell
>agile >fast >great visibility >looks cool >packs a punch best ship
David Thomas
Are there any other creators like this guy? His videos are short and to the point. He very rarely uses vocalized pauses and he appears to be pretty well prepared.
Jace Young
>great visibility It's as ok as some other ships >looks cool Subjective, but you do you. >everything else No.
Gavin Reyes
Watch this week's ATV at about 5 min. Gladius weapon mounts are getting moved around, and the wing guns in the video are gimballed size 2 repeaters.
Cameron Jones
S1s, babe.
Aaron Peterson
Nope, clearly S2. Look specifically at the rings around each barrel, how thick they are and how far up they are. If you load up SC with an S1 and an S2 you can see a big difference, and the one in the video is clearly the S2.
The S1 has very thin rings that are quite far up, the S2 has thicker rings and the barrel after the rings is much longer.
Camden Wilson
With 3 x S3 it would actually be worth comparing the Gladius and the Buccaneer. Right now it's languishing in the same DPS tier as the LN and 300 series.
Samuel Smith
Putting S3s on the wings but leaving the S2 on the nose make no sense. They would either all be S3 or the nose would be S3. They aren't going to make the nose S3 because it already has a ship specific gun.
Gladius is really the starter fighter and is only a small step up from an Aurora LN, if you ignore the downgrade from loss of cargo. My money is on it being the reward for completing SQ42.
Ryan Rivera
Eh.
Bit of a stupid change if it was true. Flying around a Gladius with two GT-220s or S3 ballistics.
Brayden Butler
Unless the Aurora rework really fucks up the damage model / hitboxes / flight profile of the Aurora LN, I would even argue that the Gladius isn't a step up from it at all.
Aurora LN definitely the best value ship.
Blake Brooks
The dumb thing about the 2.6.3 meta is, the Gladius and 300 series pack a serious punch monoboating NN-14s. If you are a good shot, you can wreck face. Who knows if the neutron cannons will still be good later, but they are reliable and accurate now.
Asher Ramirez
I bought one to CCU to a Dfly so I didn't have to have a Merlin loaner. I wound up buying a Dfly outright in the last sale so I didn't have to give up the LN because I liked it so much.
Gabriel Edwards
>Putting S3s on the wings but leaving the S2 on the nose make no sense. It would be strange, but there's no rule that says they can't.
>They would either all be S3 or the nose would be S3. My money is on 3 x S3.
>They aren't going to make the nose S3 because it already has a ship specific gun. The ship-specific guns on the Gladius and Avenger were only ever temporary, because fixed guns of one size up looked stupid on the small ships. Most of the existing guns will be getting remodelled for the new component system. In this week's ATV it looks like the Gladius nose gun has been made longer, and has lost the huge ball at the back. Personally, I think that the gun has been slimmed down because it is now S2 on a gimbal puck, in a normal S3 mount.
Jayden Robinson
The first Gladius on the leaderboard is #41, and he isn't using Neutron cannons.
Second is at #50, and again isn't using Neutron cannons.
Third is #64, and isn't using Neutron cannons.
Isn't a single 300i in the top 100, and we're into meme loadouts and shitters now. Even an x85 in the top 50.
So no, Sabres/Hornets are the meta.
Grayson Lopez
There is PvE also. Nobody gives a shit about what works in AC, because that's not a real game scenario. I'm talking about how to maximize the damage output from the guns, not AC missile spam. >Combat specific ships do really well in a combat specific scenario. stunning deduction Watson.
Nathan King
>PvE
lmao
Elijah Collins
No, what people really don't give a shit about is Vandildos lazily flying about with a fraction of the health they'll have in game.
>Gladius >Not a combat specific ship
Carson Lopez
tfw no orion
Benjamin Reed
>using leaderboard of a missile spam game to debunk argument about guns.
I gave up on VS and use waves 1-3 of PS to benchmark loadouts now. The number of hits to take a ship out are more consistent, and I'm only testing damage. Compared to every other ship I've tested, Gladius is barely as good as a 325a and is not in the same tier as Hornets, Sabres, and Buccs. Gladius is a combat ship like a Toyota technical is a combat vehicle.
Ian Green
Hope you realize that it shows you which weapons did the most damage on the leaderboard. It isn't missiles.
>Gladius is a technical
The fuck are you smoking
Alexander Ramirez
>Oh shit I said something stupid about the gladius not being a combat ship >better move the goalposts entirely to some vauge bullshit about a real world counterpart that makes no sense
Sebastian Cruz
maximum damage from the hardpoints =/= most effective loadout for a playstyle. You aren't even arguing the same thing. I don't give a fuck what is on the leaderboard at this moment. I care how many shots does it take to kill an NPC and how does that compare to other loadouts on the same ship. That's all I was pointing out. Obviously aiming one shot hits is much harder than practically anything else, but I'm not talking about difficulty, only output.
>Gladius is a combat ship like a Hornet is a combat ship That makes about as much sense.
Jaxon Campbell
Then learn what the term "meta" is you fucknut
Dylan Jenkins
The Gladius used to wreck Hornets, so what you're saying makes zero sense.
Juan Hughes
No, you're right. It's not a technical. It's a Camaro with guns. >Civilian tier armor >Civilian tier shields >Civilian starter tier off the shelf guns >Vaguely shaped like an out of date fighter >muh cumbat ship Right.
Jace Gutierrez
Auroras used to wreck Hornets. So what?
Gabriel Watson
The Gladius used to be the top-tier ship before they destroyed the flight model and its thrusters.
Have you ever played this game before?
Wyatt Bell
Nigga, I've been here since the hangar module was new. I've been farming Gladius' tears for a long long time now.
Jose Peterson
Yeah all those tears of them wrecking face for patch after patch, I'm sure they were really crying
Brody Bennett
No but they get super fucking triggered if they catch any rumor that they might get nerfed further into irrelevance.
Ian Young
God, the ORG bios some people write, holy shit. And I thought fanfics were autistic.
Josiah Jones
Doesn't "sightseeing" also increases Exploration rank quite a bit for a tiny distance it takes?
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Dominic Mitchell
>Putting S3s on the wings but leaving the S2 on the nose make no sense Why would a nose gun never be smaller than pylon gun, a few aircraft had gun pod like that.
The nose gun have better gimbal, it can be practical for other reasons.
Carter Mitchell
The only ship that has smaller guns on the nose is the Vanguard, and it has 4 S1s to make up for it. In SC, wings can be shot off, so you keep the most powerful gun on the ship. Hornets, 300 series, and Bucc are all set up this way. It would be odd for the Gladius to have 2 S3 guns that can be shot off, leaving it with only an S2.
Cooper Hill
>when you can't tell satire from actual backers any more
Jackson Foster
>Doesn't "sightseeing" also increases Exploration rank quite a bit for a tiny distance it takes? It would seem that way. Sothis and Ceos are kind of unique for Fed systems, the passenger missions combined with the Boom missions is what is new.
Hunter Phillips
If I were the tinfoil hat wearing type of person, it would appear to me that it is chat bots arguing with astroturfers.
Wyatt Foster
And now I have ten pages of possible $0 CCUs to and from every hull I own or could buy back.
Daniel Ward
More info on the Eclipse.
Aaron Lewis
b-but the cutlass ended up being wayy bigger after its rework, and more powerful! They'll do the same with the retaliator r-right?
Connor Turner
Top left image is an X47B, not the B-21.
Just because you can line up the Vanguard concept on top of the silhouette, doesn't make the cockpit or scale the same size, invalidating the use of a human for scale
Samuel Rodriguez
And they make every Tali owner pay additional 5$
genius
as if their tears and suffer werent enough all these years
Aiden Gomez
When will we get more ships in ED? SC has about as many ships and it's not even a game.
Jaxson James
When will the tevarin be playable?
Justin Edwards
Yeah exactly. No game, only ships. They need to put more focus on the fucking game.
Kayden Cruz
...
Brandon Nelson
Still nothing illogical in putting a handy turrets on the nose, who say this turret can't be specialized anti-shield so you drain them faster by having better aims? If we followed your logic every fighters would have the same guns, same shapes (+all on the body), and follow a vertical progression. As a side note, wings are less likely to be shot of than the center of mass. Frankly you should complain about less silly stuff
Carter Bennett
Finally managed to a rate my cobra 3. Where do I go from here?
Jaxson Perry
That really depends on what you want to do
Ian Ross
>Frankly you should complain about less silly stuff
Kevin Foster
lol, when will the humans be playable? I'm sick of the babyface bald clone army
I hate this timeline, everything is just so wrong.
Cooper Howard
I'm trying to parse this post but it escapes me
Jonathan Robinson
why not /scedg/ instead of /Scg/edg/
We aren't getting separate generals any time soon and even once both games are 'done' I still enjoy talking about them both as they're so related.
Parker Rogers
Is anyone else buying an eclipse
Ryan Thomas
I was actually hoping Hellion would get updated enough to talk about. I play it too.
Isaiah Williams
Ah look at this gentleman, sleeping.
Clearly healthy minded, what with him keeping his muscles contracted like a vice!
Depends what it actually ends up being.
David Barnes
Depending on what it is I might melt my Hurricane and Cutlass for one. But only if it turns out to be either a gunboat or a bomber without a million turrets and less torpedos, but some pilot-controlled guns instead.
Kevin Adams
So people looking for either can find the thread. It's common fucking courtesy.
Kevin Cooper
What is it about this game that compels people to count others' money?
I absolutely do not give a fuck how much CIG increases prices or what extra fees they collect. i got my entry pack, and I'm all set. I cannot conceive the reason for all the shitstorm people are raising over buyable ships, it's just bizarre to me. Like, if some rich or retarded people want to waste their money and fatten up the development budget, why would you mind?
Jonathan Cruz
>Tali owner >not CCU away from that ship all this time
It's their own damn fault.
Connor Miller
>I absolutely do not give a fuck how much CIG increases prices or what extra fees they collect.
Good goy!
Mason Cooper
It seems like stealth carrier based bomber is a safe bet, which is a shame because that means its basically going to be useless
But I love the B2 and I'd love a re purposed exploration ship version or something would be nice, though we've seen how well the retaliator's modularity has worked out so far.
Ryder Foster
You know why I don't give a fuck? Because I'm not buying shit from them beyond that initial $45 starter pack that has everything I need.
Elijah Reed
Not very goy if he isnt giving anymore money.
Know your memes
Jason Hernandez
Guess at best, really.
Good for you! Shame you're incapable of understanding how people might act differently, user.
Eli Edwards
aegis as far as we know only makes military planes and this is more or less confirmed a military plane
They have fighter, Heavy fighter, stealth fighter
They have Bomber, Fighter bomber, ???
It stands to reason, I can't really think of what other niche the thing could fill
I hope it's not, honestly, the things I don't want
1. A bomber 2. Another personnel carrier 3. Another fighter
Aiden Anderson
Gladiator is Anvil, user.
Did you know the B-21 is also meant to be a smaller, more versatile and cheaper B-2?
