Aww man, i liked having REC ships available in the PU
aUEC ship "purchases" (until the next wipe) should be coming in 3.1 or 3.2. Realistically, 3.2 because it's CIG, optimistically 3.1.
Newsletter includes a sneak peek at this S4 laser weapon from Trident Attack Systems.

Wonder when we'll see the beam lasers they talked about a little while ago.
Thanks Elix! You're awesome

This week's AtV features a Ship Shape with the Anvil Terrapin. Next month's will have "something new" that Disco Lando was very excited about on last week's RtV. Bugsmashers later today, RtV Friday, the usual.
This month's subscriber flair is an action figure of a ship tech with a tool gun. This new line of hangar flairs includes a second figure in a unique pose for Imperator subscribers.

([url=https://youtu.be/xlZwE8xbjlc?t=12m50s]timestamped[/url]) how far we've come from clanking against a surface with static mesh landing gear
can't wait to see this in action with proper damping ramping up toward the end of the gear settling-down animation

Wow it's [I]so much better.[/I] Main engines still have off-axis thrust but maybe a lot less now, and the interior space is like 1.5x bigger (YOU CAN STAND UP!?). Hope we can see the reworked Beta camper soon too.
Looks like the wings fold? Seems like they have a hinge.
I'm not sure if the wings fold, but they're now not the landing skids for the ship, thank dog. I like the ability to load a full cargo box in the belly.

The Aegis Vulcan, a 3-man-crew 'starter' multi-purpose profession ship, has been revealed (in AtV). A VIP warbond presale ($190) is on for the next week. It uses drones to refuel, repair, and resupply ships; it has four drones, but only two can be in use at once.

Oh man, the Mustang looks sick now. I'm glad I have that weird red AMD Omega version from way back.
Does anyone know if they've said anything or alluded to the Origin 300 series rework? I keep popping up to ask every few months or so but all I'm aware of is that it's on the agenda for eventually.

It's on the roadmap for 3.4, due at the end of the year.
That Mustang looks really cool and I had no interest in the old model. The new Vulcan looks slick too. These are really cool ships
Call me weird but I like both designs.
granted the reclaimer was announced ages ago before there were totally solidified brand aesthetics, both reclaimer and the new vulcan absolutely should be Drake instead of Aegis, given both their form and function. No-frills utilitarian ships, operable by independent groups who can't just rely on large companies for services on a long outing or in less accessible space
Aegis is a major military contractor, so it makes sense that they build durable independent mission-built ships when they're making a tough workhorse profession ship.
What distinguishes them from Drake is that Drake lowballs absolutely everything, building ships out of the cheapest sourceable metals it can find because they're almost meant to be discardable. A Drake ship might have 1/3 the material cost of an equivalent from a more reputable manufacturer, and is also faster to pump out.
It's the difference between lowest US military contract bidder engineering and unsupervised Soviet engineering, but without the wildly exaggerated failure rate that'd logically cause, because the game isn't No Fun Allowed with Drake's claimed build quality.
The Reclaimer definitely rides the line on what counts as a Drake ship thanks to the Nostromo boner in the design, but remember that Drake makes cheap ships for scummy people.
New Mustang looks pretty good just because of them unfucking the godawful cockpit/head design it had before. Them getting rid of the million random subwings is a very nice bonus, too.

Upgraded to 16gb of RAM today and hooray I can actually enjoy the PU now. Was going to get an SSD as well but decided not to for now because of budget reasons but I'm not sure I absolutely need one now. I'm getting a fairly stable 20-30fps with the occasional stuttering every now and then.
Question though, is it me or do NPC ships have like invincible shields? I was dogfighting a pirate for like 5 minutes and I didn't seem to be able to drop his shields at all. Same thing in Pirate/Vanduul swarm, I can't even get through wave 2.
Oh also my REC/UEC weapons disappear from my inventory whenever my ship is destroyed or I remove them. Yay.

this is AFTER their shields were nerfed to hell, haha. I take it you're in a small starter ship with 2 s1 weapons, you're probably not going to do much to anything larger than aurora pirates at the moment. Worth note some damage seeps through shields, and the more damage on a shield, the slower it regenerates back, so if you can get a good steady volley on a target you'll notice it open up a bit more. Keep practicing, and play some pirate swarm with friends so you have more adept tanks keeping the pirates busy as you work on shooting things
I'm in a 350r with 2 S2 Badger Repeaters and an S3 Panther. I never had trouble with those weapons about a year ago.
[editline]a[/editline]
Huh, I swapped out the Panther for an Omnisky VI cannon (S2) and suddenly I'm killing things just fine.
whoa yeah that shouldn't have been giving you trouble. I haven't had any issues with the repeaters, and actually prefer the badgers/panthers on my cutlass over the slower firing weapons during this pass. If you're in a nimble ship I'd encourage slower fire weapons like the omnisky or behring lasers. Also consider tarantulas if you want physical weapons
at the moment the only gun giving me trouble is the pyroburst, it won't land shots on anything in a multiplayer environment, though it works solidly in solo pirate/vanduul swarm.
Ship shields including AI still go invulnerable at times, and there are invulnerability zones on some ships. Also like dai hinted, because sheild regen is highest at full shields it can be difficult to make that initial breakthrough chain of hits, but once you do and if you keep on target youll often be able to kill stuff pretty well now.
Targetting and ESP have a diceroll chance of being bugged when you target someone, sometimes it will break. If there is another target nearby you can swap and sometimes that will fix it. even if its not bugged, rotations are slow and wandering right now, so hitting stuff consistently is more difficult than usual. Accelerations are functioning in a non-newtonian way at the moment so even if you were ever good at assisting your aim aiming with consistent strafe as space god intended, that is significantly less practical right now.
Pyroburst, combine cannon and delta rockets are still bugged, they deal damage differently from other weapons, through explosions, so that whole grouping is broke until they fix that system.
3.1 is being prepared for evocati testing.

Paging Helix Snake, your chariot awaits.
3.1 is with the Evocati, in case anyone hasn't heard yet. Text links under the ton of videos I forgot to post last week.
