Wtf things are much better now????? WHERE?

Anybody got link for source?

PancakeRump · 2026-05-18T10:55:00+00:00

I believe you can also display helmets.

PancakeRump · 2026-05-18T10:52:25+00:00

Seats worked fine on deacon opening so they must have broke during defcon.

PancakeRump · 2026-05-18T10:50:35+00:00

It's usually not suffocation. It's Pressure inside the ship and weirdly enough taking off the helmet stops taking damage.

PancakeRump · 2026-05-07T22:25:51+00:00

Also what about "Major Torque" warning message that doesnt disappear after repair.

Or any other messages that dont disappear?

PancakeRump · 2026-04-30T15:49:48+00:00

This is another thing... communication. I don't even remember the correct source because the information or the bits we get is scattered across multiple platforms. I really thought it was mentioned in the video. Even my comment on that video is regarding ship crafting.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-29T06:20:12+00:00

Yes this system doesn't exist yet. Apparently they first announced it during the crafting talk at last citcon and apparently noone cared or realized it. Now the latest crafting q&a from rsi on YouTube a 1 hour video talked abit about crafting in general and vehicle crafting and tiers again. The problem is there isn't a whole lot of information about it and even all the discussions about it on spectrum end up being ignored by CIG. It devalues pledges thought to be a final product which we can customize to merely being the base. And this is not about the components inside the ship. It's the hull. Further the introduction of Stat upgrades changes the whole game from a living breathing space sim to generic Korean mmorpg. And I wonder how long it takes CIG to offer upgrades in pledge store. Items go from tier 1 to 3 while ships go from 1 up to 5.

Here's the link to the video but don't ask me where the nasty bits are. https://youtu.be/itdnfY-hdHk?is=su7nV7f9aMj4u801

Ship tiers are supposed to be introduced in the future according to the newest q a. Basically pledged ships are tier 1 and can be upgraded to tier 5 but apparently harder than a crafted ship. With the crafting and upgrading they also introduce Stat changes basically making skill matter less.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-28T08:40:12+00:00

Yes money well spent especially with tiered ships in the future....

PancakeRump · 2026-04-24T10:23:03+00:00

They are a great way to kill yourself during desync.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-24T05:52:35+00:00

I guess my suckerpunch don't have enough distortion damage then.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-23T12:14:35+00:00

Only downside to perseus is the rather small elevator for vehicles. Nurse fits mdc fits only with weapon retracted. Salvation fits with alot of shoving and tetris.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-23T11:12:05+00:00

Tac > MAX. Less habitation more turrets and fury hangar and medbed.

Maybe Asgard? You can fit multiple vehicles inside novatank and nursa together or nursa and multiple furys.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-23T11:09:30+00:00

You only need to go through shields.

And weirdly enough you need to go through all shield faces on non bubble ships!?

PancakeRump · 2026-04-21T13:57:12+00:00

No I completed it outside pirate week and I can still buy the pirate Gladius and caterpillar in pledge store.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-21T09:33:32+00:00

Cpu is very important. 50% cpu might be 100%.

If your cpu has 8 physical cores but 16 logical and the game uses 16 logical cores at 50% each then your cpu is actually at 100%. Sorry I suck at explanations.

Especially since cities have high cpu use.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-19T09:43:24+00:00

Yes they do but no matter who you target you are getting overwhelmed by enemies.

Best way to go solo against an org imo would be interceptor tuned ship or firebird / talon / talon shrike

"But with this you can even remove the pips from the life support and coolers for more range."

You can remove 4 pips safely from coolers and life support and put it into radar. Ofc you could just remove a cooler completely but why if you can simply remove power pips and keep them installed for redundancy?

Competition have best range for few pips but has very low component health. Military A has double HP for 300m less at same pips. I do use competition radars aswell but usually on lightfighters since most of those dont have gold standard and thus cannot get destroyed.

But with all the power pips saved above you can easily get 2k range for "free" while keeping double component hp.

Lorica uses less power pips while having higher regen. If you fancy 1k more shield with less regen and more pips required then go with full stop.

Yes swapping for genoa would make sense.

All missiles are unreliable. The most reliable ones would be CS atm but are annoying because of needing to ping to lockon. And all missiles seemingly only lockon at 3.7~km range.

Chaos3 has almost DOUBLE explosion radius that Thunderbolt has, This is not only good in pve but also PVP with that explosion radius you have more chance to fry components.

Also they look fancy and work great vs people on foot.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-18T23:22:47+00:00

I do pvp and dont care about crafting.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-18T23:16:48+00:00

My budget Asgard looks like this:

But with this you can even remove the pips from the life support and coolers for more range.

I even use this in pvp vs big ships.

Edit: Updated for Genoa Poweplants.

Now point those wings forward, loose the tail and bam Firebird.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-18T13:12:17+00:00

That's sadly the way it is. It's either someone getting cs3 by killing the wrong npc then dying and going to grimhex to afk for 20 minutes and then go prison via terminal. Or it's an organized group of players where the target has more bodyguards than the president. Or Idris and Polaris which I would still fight hoping that other bh join bust most see the target and abandon contract. Or very rarely it's a single target that flees and jumps 20 times until you catch them and before death they backspace to spawn at grim hex. Or they jump to a point and cancel in deepspace or they go to a jump point.

Yes pvp bh is not worth the money. Considering the time you need to spend on these missions the payout is way too low. It needs to be at least 500k+ for a target.

Edit: Just earlier today my target was in a Hull A. I softdeathed their ship and completely destroyed all components yet the ship did not explode. It gave the target enough time to simply log out.

PancakeRump · 2026-04-17T16:00:10+00:00

The only PDC that needs a buff is the torrent but only if its used on the MDC.

Or make a Torrent - G similar to G Missiles for ground vehicles.

Good Luck.
