Type 10 Defender Feedback thread

[Tuuhea Takasumu]

“The Type-10 boasts greater speed, acceleration and maneuverability than the Type-9, and also offers a more focused hardpoint loadout. We envisage it being particularly effective in combat situations.”

No, it is Keelback 2.0. Here's how to fix it:

1. Delete spoiler

Spoiler

2. Move hardpoints to center

Spoiler

3. Delete external pods

Spoiler

4. Make it have more DPS against Thargoids by allowing 6 AX-weapons to be fitted

Only useful feedback is number 2

The 'huge hardpoints' in number 3 are actually the landing gear...

Ah indeed, thank you for pointing this out. Fixed.

1. Asthetics, deal with it.
2. No
3. As stated, landing gears and Asthetics.

Its fine AFIk. Fits well for what its supposed to be right now.

1. Move hardpoints to center.
2. Increase the speed (at least 1.5 times).

Hardpoints aren't center for a reason. Like we need another conda clone with wings.

Are you sure you want a T10 to be able to boost 450 with DD5s? That sounds broken.

1) Anti-thargoid ship can not use fixed AX-weapon. This is ridiculous.
2) Yes, 450 with DD5 is normal. This will make the ship suitable for anti-thargoid and PVP-role. Now, with 135% DD5 thrusters i have boost <290. This is ridiculous too.

 

[Starwolfe]

Sounds like you should fly a Conda then.

 

[Monk]

Not all ships should be the epitome of whatever...

Love the Space Bull for what he is! As for the "fake" bits...I need a better look at those.

1. Yes!
2. Yes.
3. So much yes. And get rid of those stupid winglets.
4. Yes.

In fact the whole ship looks like designed by a 10-year old. Chrissakes, i know you have graphic designers on your team because the stations, and ship concept art in your book look awesome. How come you guys can't quite get a decent ship design together in the game itself?

My perspective: a huge fan of the type 9 and someone who purchases cosmetics regularly..

The type-10 wasn't what i expected.

- Its pretty obvious the type 10 is a type 9 with a cosmetic ship kit applied. You can tell because the same roughness that shows on ship kits and is absent from base ships is present on the type 10, look at the spoiler, its ship kit quality... not core ship.
- For optional cosmetics, i can forgive any lack of care, but for formal additions to the core game, i expected more. This does not match at all how frontier presents itself as developers.. there's a gap between image and output.

Disclaimer:
- If i never purchased cosmetics i would most likely be okay with the quality as it was free!
- If i didn't already like the type 9, it wouldn't be as much of a lore slap in the face to be treated with such disrespect.

- I can only speculate david brabens 15 yr old nephew is doing work experience in the ship modeling team and gets to do what he wants like those little kids on game of thrones. Nothing else could explain this. From watching many livestreams with the developers i don't understand it.
- Writing it off in the description text doesn't count, its still a ship with a ship kit is now a ship.

Um what? A conda uses the same size of thrusters (size 7) and with DD5 maxes out around 360 boost. In order to do that, it needs to be under the thruster's minimum mass of ~900T (after DD5). I cannot think of a decent PvP conda under 900T (if someone has one, let me know).

As for the T10, it will never be under that magical 900T limit. The only way the T10 will ever get under it's thruster's minimum mass is if it gets size 8 thrusters (not very likely). If you want a big ship that boosts over 400 to hunt thargoinds in, go get yourself a cutter.

Neither do I (except i think that the nephew must be 12). Concept art in book: great; ships that make it into the game: fugly. It really, really mars an otherwise beautiful game to have the main protagonists, so to speak, look so unengagingly ugly.
