Grind grind grind....then out of nowhere I find a gem of a "game play" : Silent Running

Agree, FAoff and SR is what saves the game for me. It's just very unfortunate there is almost no gameplay around this that isn't self-imposed.

The best thing in the game is and always was the fight model. I just hope that gas giant gameplay will be centered around that, flying in turbulent atmosphere...
But more realistically it will be scoop N hundred tons of gas to get some stuff.

Don't fit missiles to a fast ship unless you want to shoot yourself!

Silent running?

Oh the good old days of shieldless Cobra III smuggling runs from Robigo...

Quick question : Wasn't silent running more vicious in the past ?

You used to be able to fire from SR and it would neither force you to resolve on scanner temporarily nor multiply the heat your weapons generate.
Perpetually-stealthed diamondbacks were a major contributing factor to heatsink capacity getting nerfed from 4 pucks to 3.

With the Engineers in the work and its ridiculous buffs - why did they even bother?
