Seems pretty cool tbh.

Neat!

FD are such a tease!

A teaser for the teasers that will be teased at an event spread over 3 days.

Looks good.

 

[Fost]

Nice.

 

[porowozek]

Now we don't have to watch any livestreams, yay!

 

[Gedemon]

One thing I'm wondering since the beginning, with the fire power and defense of the big ships, what kind of weapons do you have to put on an embarked fighter to make it more useful the the slot(s) it will use ?

Looks good.

They left one part out a missile taking out the condor.

 

[Panticus]

That ship-borne vessel went straight into supercruise? - so not immediately in the same instance as the mother ship? Is that the first disappointment in this gameplay?

 

[Jools]

modern marketing is so silly

we already had an announcement that they will announce the announcements, now they have a teaser announcing that they will announce something

Meanwhile we`re still waiting to see things announced years ago in the first 40 newsletters and during KS...

it's about generating threat to pull an enemy's attention off your main ship. I think. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[YinYin]

Notice the heat sinks.

No chaff.

Heat sinks.

Got you talking about it though

Why do you need a ramp to launch a ship in space? And if (for no sensible reason) you do employ a ramp, you then need some mechanism to hold the damn ship on the ramp before it launches to stop it drifting away.

Nope, I think it's just a visual trailer effect. I guess a Condor isn't capable of flying in SC anyway.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Condors can't go into supercruise. No FSD drive as they are too small as far as I know, so they will be in the same instance your own ship. That is the whole point of them surely, that they fight alongside your own ship.

Because it ejects the fighter AWAY from the mother ship, if both ships are manoeuvring. Notice the angle?
