The REC system is really nice

[Adreyu]

I was afraid i was going to have to grind for hours and hours. but realistically the most expensive ship is 14000 REC and you can make that in like 2 and a quarter games of vanduul swarm.
Definitely a positive force for star citizen in my opinion. 

anybody else had a chance to try it out?

After five games of Vanduul Swarm (that ended up me having to solo all of them) I am now the proud owner of every Hornet.

I decked out a my loaner hornet with all the bells and whistles and i cant understand why people keep saying they are underpowered. i still didnt have as much fire power as the super hornet and i was wrecking

Because its the only ship they've flown, sure its like flying a potato in space but they are impossible for smaller ships to even dent.

Well 3x size 3 weapons don't sound like much but you can kick some serious butt and only the Cutlass can fit more + the Hornet is plenty maneuverable. The Hornet is not underpowered I'd rather say that the Super Hornet is overpowered with it's turret.

Also you can save money/REC by using a size 3 gimbal mount instead of the nose turret.

I just wish that there would be a size 4 gimbal so I can put the Mantis back on the wings. When AC 2.0 drops and bigger guns and mounts become available the Hornets become even more deadly.

They need to balance the smaller ships some how, last thing you want is to be flying around the verse and know your mustang can't outrun a Hornet.

On the flip side the M50 (fastest ship?) Once out of conflict it has nothing to worry about.

on the topic of speed, I think the Cutlass needs 20 more max speed, to a limit of 200. At least while empty.

I think it should stay as is but have no or little difference while hauling.

Aurora should get a 20 increase but largely affected by hauling stuff.

Mustang have a 5/10 increase.

All ships should have a 50 increase but it takes a longer time to hit top speed even while boosting.

Although this isn't perfect it would make it more interesting

This. I like this.

[Adreyu]

If you take the gimbals off the wings you can put he mantis's on. honestly i dont use gimbal mounts at all. once you get used to flying and aiming with the nose, gimbals are barely an advantage.

You're gonna be that guy who tries to buy all the Rosalina amiibo's cause he hates the character so much.

I RECed them, so now I just wait for them to disappear forever

One very important point you guys probably need to know.

 

 

The amount of rec you get currently is more than intended. With the next release (1.11) they plan to decrease how much you get per game, but it will take time to find the sweet spot. So if you can, I suggest saving a decent amount for now and try not to spend it too fast, as it will take a bit more effort to amass larger amounts in the future.

Good to know. 50,000 REC for re-renting my gimbals and badgers should be enough

I plan to eventually try the cheese move of super hornet with 5 neutron s2. Yes I feel like being evil at one point

 

 

Otherwise, I'm good. Plan to stay as a subscriber, so I shouldn't be bad off with rec considering how often I play.

I don't practice near as much Battle Royale as I should. It doesn't show, does it?

You do have decent timing. Whether by luck or by tactics, you kill stole me like a pro that last time we all played together (not a negative comment). I nearly kill two people and was about to finish them when you popped in from behind, shredded both my targets and killed me from behind fast enough. You actually did that a few times on me, lol. So I'd say your quite decent as is. It is more about situational awareness than anything for battle royale. You keep going the way you did in that match and corwin will have someone to seriously worry about.

Haven't tried the M50 lately but AFAIK the 350r is the fastest with 300m/s, M50 and Mustang omega with 280, Mustang gamma 270, Gladius 250 and so on.

They should increase speeds otherwise one could sue Origin Jumpworks for false advertisement, because in the 300i commercial it broke the sound barrier which is 343m/s on Terra.

I could but I can't live without them.  :lol:

1 it also baffles me that the m50 isnt the fastest ship and they just keep nerfing it. 

2 it really doesnt make that big a difference to have gimbals, the power of a size 3 mount would benefit you much more. I wish i could take the gimbals off my deltas turret so i could remount my now useless extra badger repeaters.

I don't like that the exclusive ships (SH, M50, 350r, Delta) are only REC-able from EA by subscribers.

Putting them behind a pay-wall really creeps me out.

I definitely think they are too close to the situation and dont see it that way, i dont think they are paywalling things on purpose,

and they may even need the money for costs they werent expecting, a lot of AAA games are more expensive than this.

Having said that i agree with you, lately it does seem like they feel they need to attach a price tag to everything.

I would love it if they just stopped doing concept sales all together and let some of the ships be a surprise at release.

or at least the alpha/beta

How do you know they aren't already doing that?
