Hi, new to the forum and the thread but I wanted some experienced input - do you think the Chieftain will be just versatile enough to become an all-rounder ship, similar to the likes of the ASP X. Asking for a friend. (Totally asking for me.) It looks gorgeous. I can't wait to get my engine greased hands all over it.

i listened to the podcast with ed lewis and he said it's a maneuverable combat ship. so probably a couple military internals and less general internals

I've been flying it ever since it launched, its useless in the way that the big 3 are better in every single way and at every role.
There is literally no benefit to flying the T10 over the big 3.

T10 is not rank locked like Cutter and Corvette.

Compared with Anaconda, it has a great view ;)

This just emphasises how great / unbalanced (depending on your perspective) the Anaconda remains

To me it just shows that FD dont really think about balance, they advertised it as an essential thargoid killer but it really isn't. The ship should have something unique about it (so it excels at its role). Not being rank locked isnt unique enough.

I just hope they dont do the same with the chieftain so if it doesnt have a high jump range or SLF capabilities i think it will be useless in the same way the T10 is.

I understand what you are saying, yes.

I have a terrifying feeling that this gorgeous new ship will still have the same "butcher's bench" Lakon cockpit. If that is so, it would be sooo damn lazy on FD's part, and a reason for me not ever trying it. Lets hope this isnt the case.

I'm hoping the hardpoint grouping will allow for two large lasers, a trio of railguns, and free medium hardpoint for utility. That sounds pretty exciting, to be honest.

Why couldn't it just be 2 large and 4 medium? Hell, I'd take 2 large and 3 medium. But no, FD has a hard-on for sticking small hardpoints on everything. The only way this thing would even be worthwhile would be if you can stick a fighter in it. Just another underpowered medium in a stack of mediums. I suppose I'm still stuck to the grind to the Vette.

Small hardpoints are really good.

If they are well placed, they would be perfect for railguns, as the small railgun has a big heat advantage over the medium, and only does 20% less damage than the medium.
