Beyond - Inside News (Interview with Ed Lewis)

Wing missions for solo player too. Is this involving NPC Wingmen? Let's hope so

That would be cool, missions that require you to team up some NPC wingmen and fight in large battles or attack planetary installations. Seems no reason why they couldn't implement something like this, given that an SLF pilot essentially operate as wingman already.

It would be nice, but I think it will be like taking on a mission above your rank.

 

[zombieapocalypse]

Yeah, unfortunately, that is probably more likely to be the case. But we can dream!

 

[Mugur]

Hey!

I GOT IT WRONG!!!!!!!

It's 2 Large, 1 medium and 3 small!

SOrry!!!!

Come on!!! Just let it have 3 large and 3 small and everybody will be happy. Also if you put a distributor less than 7 we will all hate you. But let's pray for 6 at least...

 

[Alec Turner]

thanks Muchly Alec. I know it's kind of "second place" (everything is to Ed) but we did get the results of The Last Gasp up as well in the 'cast

Buckyball results? Second place?!?!?! Never!

Ed can wait, I'm fast forwarding to that bit.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Dreaming is good!

Then again maybe not....

 

[Fosdyke]

I fear that. One day i hope NPC Crew and NPC wingmen. A pity we have already the mechanics with SLF. Please FDEV

 

[Alec Turner]

Hey guys, I've also added a permanent link to your podcast to the "Youtube channels, podcasts, etc" section of my best-of-the-forum-(and-elsewhere) thread. Is the iTunes page the best page to link to or is there somewhere better?

 

[Barking_Mad]

Well we could pointlessly speculate that this has been done that way so with DLC on the way it can be left open to work that way.....

 

[Cmdr Tel]

Not an Anti-Xeno ship then.

How odd designing a ship now that can't pack the max anti-xeno weapons

you are pretty darn awesome aren't you Alec... I mena, maybe not quite Ed standard... but almost certainly above Braben... (jokes, please don't put out a hit on my lord Braben)

Soundcloud is the direct host for it and then it goes out to iTunes and podcast apps from there. There's not a quick "catch all" that'll do it for everybody really apart from "soundcloud [link] and all good podcast apps"

 

[ErichZann]

Thanks. Even closer to Clipper / FAS then. Possibly slightly worse off on DPS due to armour penetration on small. I hope it's agile then.

Well it depends. Small ones are good for lasers if you want to use them, and then 3 smalls are more than 1 medium. Also depends on the positioning, if the small and medium hardpoints have good convergence for fixed lasers / rails, and then 2 large MCs, wouldnt be too bad maybe.

Nice podcast PixelBandits o7
Count +1 subscriber!

 

[Furnace]

Thank you, Pixel Bandits and Ed Lewis!

So much this... [up]

OK cool ... I'll add the soundcloud link as well. Any of you going to Lavecon this year? (expecting tickets to go on sale any day now).

P.S. Don't know how I missed your podcast ... my iPod is now full of back issues, should keep me going for a few weeks!

 

[Kayweg]

Nevermind new ships and wing missions, but they're finally putting in actually useful trade tools ?
Good news.

 

[Rock-Hermit]

Well that's lunchtime sorted.

+1

For me too.

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Paid Content: No details at the moment.

Everything is awesome, but this is....telling

As ever, we'll HOPE to be sending a few members, for both LaveCon and EliteMeet (and there's no way we'd miss FX18!). All depends on locations, money etc. etc. Obviously we love to cover things, but running as a non profit and without ads where possible it can be tough

I'm guessing the cargo space on that Chieften is limited, else it will risk taking over from the Python...
