Re: Sci-Fi authors and Astronomy

Distance from Earth to Moon is 384,000 km. The book I’m reading is called Starship’s Mage. They use magic for interstellar travel and fusion drives for space travel. The weapons they use are homing missiles with anti-matter drives and lasers. Speed of light is about 300,000 km/s so it would take abo...

Sci-Fi authors and Astronomy

Sometimes I wish Sci-Fi authors who have a basic grasp of physics play games like ED or Kerbal Space Program. This would allow them to understand better the distances and times involved in spaceflight. I brought this up cause I just started reading this book where the author keeps placing ships in t...

Re: 3.0.3 Dropped Today......

So if you scan a clean ship in independent space and it shows a bounty, you can’t shoot it?

Re: 3.0 Beta

Can’t wait for the beige plague to start fading into memory. Looking forward to the new Engineers. Will do experimentation to see if my grandfathered modules are better or the new modified ones. Currently, trying to accumulate as much materials as the current system will allow. Also, looking forward...

Re: 3.0 Beta

Personally, I only tried the FDL once and the FAS once. I always tend to compare ships with the Python. And compared to the Python the Chieftain just isn’t for me. It depends on your play style. Me, tank when I have to, run when I want to, run rings when I feel like it, carry cargo, go exploring (ju...

Re: 3.0 Beta

Flying the Cheiftain. Not too bad. Manouverability seems pretty good. Shields suck but armour seems good (though 150T for reactive armour is a way too much.) Don’t know what people are talking about when they say it drifts. Brought it to a Haz Res, it did ok. To me, the fuel tank is too small and it...

Re: 3.0 Beta

Actually, I’m quite liking the engineering changes. Sure it takes more mats now to engineer multiple modules. But once an FSD is engineered to top G5 long range you don’t need to try and keep rolling to get the god mode buff. If you like it you like it, it's just that no one really needs the god ro...

Re: Smuggler idea

I thought the heat sink mechanics only stop scans if the ship doing the scanning is beyond a certain range?
If the authority ship is within a certain range, lowering your heat sig does not work?

Re: Lakon Chieftain Beta Acess 25/1

This or the Krait might be a competitor to the Python.
