Oh my god it has a space walkway in the rear section
IT HAS A LITERAL "WALK THE PLANK" AREA
from the sound of it it might even be flight ready within a few weeks, as they're already talking about watching the quantum effect through the rec room windows, and adding specific landing pads and repair platforms in Crusader specifically for it
also jesus, if teller got [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOr9DGDl0VA]the caterpillar's updated scale[/url] correct, we're going to need an even bigger big hangar. I think the SF has expanded as well though so we'll see

Big because Starfarer is huge
...you know if I spent another $5 I could have a Cat
guess we'll just have to wait and see then but for now I'm getting my money's worth with the SF

I've got a cat so when that goes hangar/flight ready we can spacepunch it up and make some informed decisions
..."informed decisions" is just gonna be some [del]high impact sexual violence[/del] trying to fit the nose of the Cat into the hold of the SF isn't it

Why not take it a step further, the Starfarer is a liquid hauler
Fill it with drugs

So the Starfarer can roofie the Cat during penetration?
You sick bastard.
Let's stream it.
Holy fuck the Starfarer is making me so excited.
I love how immersive this game is. It takes me back to Star Wars Galaxies and being able to just go explore space on other people's ships, but much more immersion when it comes to gameplay.
I don't know what I'll do with my life when this game comes out fully.
[URL="https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15255-Starmap-Posters-Available"]Starmap posters are for sale, limited quantities.[/URL] $18 including worldwide shipping, ships rolled in a tube.
Note: If you have a physical pledge package that includes a starmap (e.g. a collector's box package), your map will ship with the full box, not when these ship.
I wish the actual map part took up more than a quarter of the page
that video sold me on the star farer
i like space ships that act like flying houses
What will happen if my crew count exceeds the escape pod limit? Will I be fined by space OSHA? Will I have to fight someone to the death in hand to hand combat for the last pod?
These are important questions

captain must go down with their ship
that's why you have the cargo bay, you could jam an [del]M50[/del] captain's deluxe evacuation module inside easy

An M50 seems like it'd just waste space. I'm sure you could fit at least 5 P-52 Merlins in there instead, much more efficient.
I can just imagine someone going to attack a Starfarer and having a swarm of tiny Merlin fighters fly out the cargo hold.

A swarm of angry Archimedes with suckerpunches on all four wing mounts followed by a pack of armed guys on EVA -- surprise, muhfucka, this Starfarer's a baitship and the only shit being jacked here is you.
[QUOTE=Visorak06;49959338]Between alien ships, Elix. If The Khartu and Blade both fit into the same role, with similar capabilities, and those two factors are the "requirements" for justifying the price point then would they not be priced similarly? I don't understand how that argument could be skewed that way when I clearly meant alien ships.
And Dai, I did not realize ships were priced solely off rarity (Which I think is absurd, for the record. If ships are that "rare" they shouldn't be available until they can be earned in game the "right" way imo). It puts a sour taste in my mouth when me and my best friend both love the alien ship designs, I love Xi'An and he loves Vanduul, and then he gets arbitrarily shafted because RSI decides "nuh uh, Vanduul ships are more special than Xi'An".[/QUOTE]
it's not arbitrary though. as others have said vanduul are hostile and their ships self destruct. xian and banu shit is literally made to export so it's readily available
no one said they were priced solely off of rarity. the $ prices are a reflection of IN GAME PRICES which takes into account size, complexity, quality etc, but also supply and demand.
it would actually be really retarded not to do this since certain ships would end up being 'better value' to pledge for ie. constellation $250 => 250,000 credits, blade $150 => 250,000 credits; pledge for a blade now and trade it for a connie in-game to save 100 bucks
it's actually your own assumption that all alien ships should be equal for some reason that is completely arbitrary

Even better than that would be to turn the gravity off in the cargo hold and fit in as many players as possible, who are all equipped with swords.

Have all of them brace with their feet against the forward wall, then reverse the ship towards the enemy really fast and slam on the brakes, with the cargo door open.
The pirates would see a swarm of EVA-suited guys coming at them with swords, and would shit their pants.

M50 isn't even that big (did merlin dimensions change significantly from the old to new model?

Actually, why even bother with the EVA suits? It's not like you're going to pick them all up again after. Just throw them out all once and hopefully some of them don't miss the target completely and survive long enough hit the other ship with their [del]sword[/del] fists a few times. If that doesn't work, the large amount of players to fly through should at least slow down the other ship for a few seconds.
You could even send them out at at a time as a brief distraction.

problem with fitting m50 anywhere is the wings have a permanent wide span, whereas the merlin's wings are already stubbier and fold up, which would let you stack them closer together, but also fit through tighter doors given they're about the same height as the m50
also you can have like 5 merlins for the cost of one m50
2.3.0 is on the PTU and I'm downloading it right now.
