I don't speak Jap, but in my own experience (I've been playing for less than a week), NPC ships are retarded. Things like an Anaconda will have lasers only, which require power, but if you knock it's shield out, it'll divert all power to restoring the shield.

You have to stay on it though otherwise it'll get it's shields back up and start firing at you.

The sad thing is that NPCs actually have fear responses although they rarely ever trigger.

You have cargo but you'll obviously fuck them up: "I think I'll leave it."

They stand no chance against your elite combat ship: "Whoa there big guy, I wasn't hurtin' nobody."

Founder's access is for kickstarter backers (or when you get elite rank in something) and beta insurance discount was for the prerelease beta only.

One thing about FDev is some of the ship designs are nice.

Too bad there's no fucking sense of scale when you get into a sidewinder vs a cutter.

That's a problem imo. I parked my Python right above a Coriolis yesterday. I had absolutely no idea how huge the Python is, it hardly seems bigger than an Asp or a Cobra from the inside. Likewise with planets, I never got that "woah" feeling from seeing one up close. Dunno why this is.

>I've read about 6 gimballed multicannons earlier?

They shred hull but it takes a while to chew through shields.

I used to run 2x small beam lasers in the lower two small hardpoints that are really close together and multicannons in the 2 meds and other 2 smalls. Used the beams to bring down shields and then unloaded with the cannons and some supplemental laser fire as available capacitor permits.
>>
>>125424980
How is this in other space game like X series?

Maybe Horizons will fix that a little. The game doesn't really let you get close to most celestial bodies. Also it seems like the FSD cut-out range/hyperspace in point depends on the size of body with the end result that they all kind of look the same size.

I mean if you check the range to the target I guess you can see how big it is. But you don't really feel the size.

In the X series everything's in little pockets a few hundred km across and connected by jumpgates. The planets can be very close but they're basically backgrounds since there's no supercruise. You can fly full sized capital ships, although X3 and its expansions have no cockpits unless you have mods.

A route that many a trader’s livelihood rested on, was ruthlessly shut down today by Federation forces due to allegations of illegal human trafficking. The future of the station and it’s closely knit population is uncertain as rumours of a Cartel in league with the Sirius Corporation are coming to light.

So, I've got 260 million credits after all my recent robigo runs, should I buy a Python(which I should be able to fully upgrade.) or should I buy an Anaconda?(Which I would'nt be able to fully upgrade. It'd be highly dependant on how easily I could make more money to upgrade and insure it later by bulk trading.)

Anaconda and bulk trade yourself to oblivion.

The new moneybug is going to involve planet landing

There's a trick to salvaging in the buggy that breaks the item count. It was in the last beta so it'll be in the release too. This shit's gonna be great.

Alright, it goes like this

>Get in the buggy, don't move
>Grab the goods while getting back in your ship at the same time
>You'll have the goods in your hold but they'll still be outside as well

It's a pain in the ass getting the positioning right, mind you, but once you do, it'll be a good time.

Don't know what the Asp Scout is supposed to do. Diamondback Explorer is cheaper and does everything the Asp Scout does but better (longer jump range, runs cooler, better guns).

Oh, I see it now. Yeah ViperMk4 has 21ly jump range while Viper has 15.

That's something, though the the ViperMk4 is near identical to the CobraMk3. Only 2 internal compartments are different. A rated they're nearly the same price too. On paper the Cobra is more maneuverable.

Just got this game yesterday and been just trying to get the handle on controls on my thrustmaster, how the game works and how the world works.

You could've self-destructed and saved yourself 5 minutes of Darth Vader breathing.

There's an actual self destruct option in the ship functions panel on the right.

Also, fuel scoops.

>>125451658
Vulture is a great ship though.
>>
>>125453171
>>125453260
Oh, must've missed the self destruct.

Fighting ofcourse sounds like the most fun, but I'm a little worried about my abilities to hit anything with this flight stick. Still need a lot of training to line up the shots, feels like two hands are not enough to control everything.
I guess getting a better ship will give me more time and space to do things, now there is this constant feeling of not having enough time to manage everything.

HELLO-HELLO, check how the cocksucking War Thunder launcher works, you shitty dumbfuck.
It's fucking 2016 almost.

And what is more important, why the fuck can't I play the Horizons expac with Steam overlays and tools. It's just another fucking update ffs.
