News Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement
the 2.3% maybe?
Because many of us love exploration, and we'd like to have more ships that are really great at it?
no, but you got to be careful you never know if it will fire at you if you get close to it.
2.8%. Pay attention!
Yes. Derailed just before Chichester and just after this thread
you have the conda, the python and the asp. you want more???
I haven't flown the T-10 so can't comment. That certain nails the looks*, cockpit views and attitude. I doubt it has the agility for easily and quickly moving from rock to rock.
(Well, apart from the spoiler. No self-respecting mining ship should have a spoiler. All the other mining ships would point and laugh at it).
oh thank you
Oh, and sod it. If we're going to list ship fantasies here.. why not add some articulated arms which can catch nearby floating materials or fragments. Or even latch onto big rocks to stay close without bumping into it as it rotates. And even a mining SRV with similar hydraulic arms for grabbing nearby materials without having to do all that rolling back and forth.
It's actually fairly nimble at thruster speeds so it can easily maneuver in rings. In supercruise though it's a real dog.
Well, I want a boat that looks good as an exploration ship. Which is why the Krait doesn't work for me, and I went back to the T-7. The T-7 just looks the part.
So have all the mods.
Could mean:
FD teleconference is interesting
Another thread is more exciting
TJ is in stealth mode
Edit ... or Brett has found a way to put them all in stealth mode [where is it]
I'd love a modified T7, let's call it a T8, which had less cargo capacity but 15lys extra jump range. A real Anaconda competitor for exploration. Man I'd pay real world money in the Elite Store for such a fine ship!
Is exploration so dangerous that you now fly in a coffin.
Yeah, the cargo space is a bit much. I got all modules I need and still 80 tons of it, and nothing to put in it. Who knows, there might be POIs where storage is useful.
It's not a coffin, it's a glorious ship.
I'd like to have some kind of a tether harpoon with physics enabled between the ship and the tethered object. It could create extremely funny gameplay moments when both are objects of similar mass, eg a Sidewinder tethering itself to a large chunk of USS debris, which is then smacked by a boosting larger ship. I'm sure we've all played Thrust or one of its descendents here.
What would it be used for? Throwing each others' SRVs at skimmers, lifting them into orbit, grappling to asteroids to run cold, grabbing annoying authority Vipers in a RES and mashing them off asteroids, that sort of stuff.
#RememberTheGnosis
+1 to that. Maybe call it a Boa? And some freighter paint jobs which look utilitarian even when new. Use 21st century seagoing cargo vessels as inspiration.
