Fantastic piece of work!


The first thing I looked at was the weapon damages (page 40):-
- Would be very interesting to see how the damage varied by class.
- Are the damage figures shown against shield or hull? It would be interesting to show how the weapons deal damage differently to shields and hulls.


Again! Great work!

ps: Your chart does beg the question what are the points of Pulse, Stealth and Burse lasers when they all seem to behave the same?

As far as I know Forger has taken ship, damage and other stats from the threads on the forum. The links to these threads are provided in his manual so it is better to check those links directly.

I dont know if it's been said or not, sorry if it did.

page 50 about the mass lock zone(on the right)
the pictures is showing the station orbit, not the mass lock zone circle.

that's why for the time being i just included those numbers more as a placeholder, i took them from forummite posts in PB/SB and they WILL change, that's why i am hoping that after gamma starts we will have some pilots sharing specific and FINAL data, then i can make a weapon catalog with pictures, damage done against different hull types, heating etc., as currently i see no point in comparing weapons in such depth - that will change.

so that's something that will be updated and modified heavily. if you ask me then i guess stealth lasers (if they will be present in game as now they are not) do same damage as burst/pulse but generate much less heat, also i am sure that there are differences for each weapon against specific hull types but this all need to be tested ;)

also i am interested in knowing how cannon/multi does against shields, how different classes really differ etc., but right now it's waste of time to test all specifics as we are not in the gamma and for correct information we will need to wait ;)

same goes for jump range, module/weapon/ship prices, when we enter gamma i am looking forward to receive all the data to make this guide as close to reality as possible ;)

This is very useful, and looks good! Are you planning a section on super cruise?

it's already there in simple form, when FD will change how it works it will be modified :)

I have seen hundreds of same questions answered by same answers and as i wanted to make a guide for ED in gamma anyways here's my guide (it's in alpha stage now).

I used all information i could find on forums (thank you guys!) and i hope this piece of information currently will be good guide for new pilot's and even maybe some advanced ones can find something interesting there.

Hi Forger,

Really huge and nice work you made here! Congratulation :D

Just one small point, why you wrote Anakonda instead of Anaconda? (page 2, 11, 51, 56, 65)

Judging by some other minor grammatical errors, he's prolly not a native speaker and several languages spell the snake name this way.

you got me :) English is my third language and such projects do help to improve it a little, at least that's what i hope ;)

so please DO CORRECT me, then i will know where are my mistakes and stop making them over and over again ;)

I imagined that was the answer as I'm also not a native speaker, it was just to try to say it in a polite way :)
