Panther Clipper Mk II Update | Available Now

I have understood that there should be a yellow aiming dot about in the center of the forward HUD during flight, which indicates the forward vector of my ship. I do not have that nor can I find an option to enable it. Could someone please tell how that aiming dot can be enabled and disabled?

It is called the mouse widget I think and can probably be found in the general bit of the options menu.
It is years since I enabled it so I am not sure exactly where it is now.

Thanks! I found it under Controls --> Ship controls --> Mouse controls. It is not shown when headlook is active, and I use headlook most of the time, but it is still helpful. I did not need it before I got the Panther Clipper.
 
Speculoos:
=========

The PC MK II cargo modules are likely the precursor to future new modules, where the "maximum" was once reached at A-rated.

Instead of Enhanced Drives for the Mamba, there could then be MK II thrusters.

Most important, however, would be the secondary power plant in the ship, which is needed if you want to repair the primary one without a landing pad.

Perhaps Grade 6 Engineering with two effects per module will come too.
 
Turrets are more pointless (pun intended) than the point defense turrets.

What are these small turrets even effective against? They're barely effective as class 3. Regardless of weapon type.

I should be able to bring both of my npc crew to man turrets if we're going to have them in the game and eliminate the jitter nonsense for those at least. That would at least be a little helpful.

That or bring back accurate kinetic (ramming) collision damage between ships. I should be able to knock an fdl into next week with a pc at full boost.
 
As another commander writes in this thread, the autodocking computer indeed tends to collide with towers that are inside space ports: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...a-panther-ii-is-in-certain-situations.639637/

It's difficult to convey this with a screenshot, but here's the autodocking computer going to the landing pad 40 and colliding quite badly with the structure on the right:

It causes quite significant damage (notice that my hull is fully engineered):

Just had it hit that same tower and it was quite a noticeable jolt when it happened fortunately I was in a Stellar so the shields merely lost most of the outer ring.
