Questions

[Shadowma]

Hi I am relatively new & have a few queries as follows -
1. Can we own more than one ship?
2. When can we expect the ability to walk around our ship
& engage in FPS ground combat?
3. Is there a way to tell what weapons can be used in your current ship
without any difficulties? Had trouble as I purchased weapon & then it disabled
my engines as it used to much power.

Iam sure I will have more questions as time goes on, sorry for the noob inquiries
but I did search the forums & the manual & info is a little limited.
Thanks in advance for any info or status.

Welcome to the game

1. Yes.. to be implemented
2. In an expansion or update after initial release
3. You probably need to put pips into weapons because they over heat or need capacitor charge to work Often in combat, or general piloting, to get the best out of your ship it requires you to put power into the various systems as needed and this is key to being extremely effective. You can view which weapons go in each slot from the outfitting menu at the stations.

If you are getting shot at putting pips into shields makes your shields stronger - I believe. When you are attacking put pips into weapons, etc.. Need to go faster, or want to be able to boost, put pips into engines. Putting pips into various systems charges the capacitor which in turn empowers a particular system.

In addition to Cosmos' points...

You might be interested in the list of design discussion threads, which includes Frontier's proposals for multiple ship ownership.

Just to be clear, I don't think we've heard anything about FPS combat per se. It's confirmed there will be some kind of first-personish mode in a future release, and combat is the natural assumption, but on the odd occasion Frontier talk about it, they tend to mention things like space-walks. They're probably just playing their cards close to their chest (as usual), but I thought I'd mention it

Boarding is confirmed, so FPS is confirmed, just not known yet WHEN
