Ships Type-10 Released!
- Thread starter CMDR Dreamstate
- Start date
Di you even bother to read my post? -.-
Try to understand that there is nothing ‘mythical’ about endgame. That you choose not to participate in it, cool. You’re one of the few people that doesn’t feel the need to do things on an increasingly larger scale. However, for the very, very large majority this will NOT be the case. Wanting to enforce your isolated viewpoint on that majority is what I called arrogant.

Autobots confirmed.
They want to know why Lakon stole Optimus Prime's head.

I just bought mine at Jameson. Approximately 400million space bucks later, I can say that she doesn't look too bad.
First impressions:
Hardpoints
4 Large/3 Medium/2 Small? That's a lot of multi-cannons for my fighting space cow!
Size 8 power plant? Nice! Plenty of utility slot power!
So many utility slots!
Size 6 distributor? Meh. But not as meh as it could have been.
Lots and lots of internals - plenty of room for hull packages.
Also... the jump range is not insultingly bad. I am pleasantly surprised. No lie, I was bracing for single digits.
I took her out for a spin. Big pig? Yup. But not nearly as drift-piggy as I feared she might be.
I haven't gone hunting yet, but I'm pretty darned excited to mow the lawn in VR.
Still, though: 400million for a vicious battle cow? That was a hefty purchase. I really hope she doesn't let me down in the RES. If she pans out, then I'll ditch my gunship.

This... Is a well known issue for any explorer. “My conda has amazing handling! Oh, oh it’s a brick in supercruise.”
Really annoying that thrusters don’t translate into more maneuvrability in sc.
how should it go into heat when there isn't even enough energy in the distributor to heat it up.
Can we get some in-cockpit screenshots up in here, please? Thanks
Two seats below, and one on top.
There's like, a dozen or so forum members who owe that "I hope I can make it go 40ly!"-guy apology cards and flowers.
It will be very amusing if this ship carves out a niche as an explorer.
Yeah, it just seems far more obvious in the type 10
Dude, this the third time in this thread you've mentioned your exclusive love for the teenie tiny ships. You do realize that you're the minority right?
FdL is a fine ship for the job, provided can get it to reach Beagle Point well enough and don't mind putting in the effort for it, and of course assuming that you like exploring over racing. Has a competent fuel scoop potential.
I'd like taking my combat loaded Vulture explorer ship out to Beagle Point, but I'm not one for jumponium nor star boosting, so I can't reach it. I plan on taking my Cobra out there at some point though.
As a ship apparently created to combat the Thargoid threat, what capabilities does it possess that are missing from other ships?
What's the must-have factor that's going to make a CMDR throw money at it (other than "it's new")?

You just need to be smart about the loadout, and that distro will do just fine. Mine is going to be an armed in-RES miner:
2x large burst turrets / 1x med on the bottom
2x large gimballed multicannons
2x small railguns
2x med mining lasers
Given that a fighterbay is going in there, it can't fit the limpets to keep up with 3 medium mining lasers anyway, so the distro limitation is irrelevant.
If you wanted something a bit more multipurpose, put gimbal or turreted pulse or burst lasers in the mediums, rails or missiles or something in the smalls, and 4x large cannons, multicannons, or frags are all going to give you serious firepower and no real problems with the distro.
To me an endgame ship is the ship that is optimal for earning credits in a given role, or is best at a certain role. By this definition you could argue that the Asp Explorer is an end game ship. It is for me for exploration
For me it what I like to fly the best. Earning credits doesn't really mean much to me. What is the point in having billions of credits if you can't use them for anything.
That is your definition of endgame in ED, which is perfectly valid, but it is your choice. It is not my definition of endgame. It is precisely why I said the ship progression stops at the Cobra part and anthing after that is personal choice and personal goals.
You have decided that you want to have the optimal ship for earning credits. I have nothing against that. It's perfectly valid. Just not my cup of tea.
The ability to field 4x large AX weapons and 3x flak cannons gives it the most AX firepower of anything in game right now.
Sweet, cheers. Any of the actual cockpit view from the pilot seat? Wanna see how she compares to the T9...
mmh im thinking of trading the conda for this
