Well my merlin wasn't LTI...

My Merlin came with my LTI Constellation. I love flying the Merlin, but the gatling cannon goes through ammo quite quickly. Having an Archimedes would allow me to swap between the two snub-fighters while in my hangar depending on the situation; having a quicker Merlin that has 4(!) CF007 Bulldogs equipped could be nice for the longer battles so that ammo is not a concern. Plus, I feel like if I get an Archimedes, I'll have a small racing ship to go alongside the 350R and I won't keep eyeing up the M50...
I dunno... Somebody needs to talk me out of buying one. It would be my 11th ship, 9th that I still own (gave my 300i package and Aurora LN package away to a couple of friends).

Also buggy retaliator... Hangar ready? Think twice

Mine is shown as torp + drop instead of cargo+cargo and lot of glitches

Other than the fire my retaliator seems ok:

Random Murderer · Nov 24, 2015

Bah...
Couldn't help myself. I picked up an Archimedes.
It's not hangar-ready, but I still have a slot ready for it in my asteroid hangar.
And now I think I'm finally done buying ships before launch. Maybe.

for the price of the archimedes .... it would be wrong to not take a LTI

i can't even enter it ... only in turret and i can't even get out of turret unless i unlog

VTOL reactor also disappearing at close range :ohwell:

tho i am still totally in love with the Retaliator and i am more than glad to have it in cargo+cargo LTI configuration for the PU later

it's MY FREAKING DREAM SHIP!

if i can nickname ships ... i will call it "SR-7016 Darker than Black Bird" :laugh:

I managed to complete a com-array mission without crashing.

I couldn't resist and picked up a Banu Merchantman. I was busy with work when it was first available and I'm glad it came around again

I was so good for over a year, then they had to spring this "sale" on me! A further test will be when the Carrack is available again on Friday. So tempting!

That was awesome to see...I haven't been watching SC too closely tbh... you restored my interest in this title. Were you flying mouse + KB?

erocker · Nov 26, 2015

Yeah, was mouse and keyboard. It's a bit buggy so sessions only last so long before I crash. Latest patch is much better!

I'm still waiting for my invite, so thanks for sharing! I'm already quite impressed with what I've seen so far and can't wait to see what they will turn this into by launch time.

So can you give me some feedback on that versus your flight stick and controller?

I was gonna borrow a Steam controller again and see if I could bind it to this game...but after watching your vid...I feel tempted to put everything aside and go KB +Mouse for a run and see if I can make it work out in my favor.

erocker · Nov 26, 2015

If you're using a ship with gimbaled weapons, m+kb is great. Without gimbals... it's okay. You just want to hit Ctrl+C to lock everything forward but the control isn't as nice. Personally if I'm using a ship with no gimbals I prefer a controller/joystick as you rely more on ship control than gimbal control.

Oh! I ran into Chris Roberts playing last night. I saw the name CRoberts68 above someone's head and didn't think about it. Later I read on twitter that it was him.

noice, did you kill him?

erocker · Nov 28, 2015

Haha, no. But I was EVA'ing above the security station when I saw him. He landed his Hornet and went inside and got murdered by someone else! Lol.

This isn't new footage or anything but it's an awesome race between two 350R's .

Kursah · Nov 28, 2015

Well now I'm hoping to get into the PTU soon dammit! I want more stuff to do in the Alpha!!!

me too lol

erocker · Nov 29, 2015

It's sooo buggy right now. It'll probably be the week after next before it goes live.

Ahhzz · Nov 30, 2015

I got in Friday, haven't had a chance to "get in".... hope to soon, but SO has discovered PoE, and we're enjoying playing together again.

Delta6326 · Nov 30, 2015

Soooo I'm all giddy like a little school girl right now! My Black/Friday items have gotten in and it's time for a PC upgrade! Haven't done my own pc since Jan of 2009! Waiting on i7 to come back in stock and lower$$$
Now I will be able to play this game!
My biggest question is how big is the game from a fresh DL? As I haven't been following for a long time now. DL speed is 128kbps

GreiverBlade · Nov 30, 2015

i knew i could not resist ... not after getting a unexpected income saturday ...

bought a 2nd Archimedes, upgraded the 1st one to a 325A since upgrades retain the LTI status (i wanted a LTI 325A ... ) upgraded the retaliator base LTI to a bomber variant and my never settle pack to a Constellation Andromeda (not LTI but now i have a Merlin again ... )

thinking about buying some Archimedes LTI package to convert them to other ships for LTI ... dunno it seems better than buying just the standalone variant

Scrizz · Nov 30, 2015

what I want is a Vanguard that looks like a Sabre.

GreiverBlade · Dec 1, 2015

hufff i need to read patchnote more often ... i didn't know planetside was up ... it has a little mass effect vibe, dirty human "factory world" not Asari or other "cleaner" type :laugh:

ok ... i have a sever issue ... (oh at last i kept my LTI Tali ...) doing some stranges moves ... (aka: what i told before ... buying several Archimedes LTI pack and upgrading them for other ships, still have an Archimedes aside my count is 6 package: 5 upgraded 1 stock )

so i thought multi crew ship are not really for me ... then a Constellation hold no real utility (the Tali is an exception ... )

collection "almost definitive" (tm) :laugh:

300 serie (315P 325A 350R) Mustang (Alpha and Delta) and Merlin (planing to get a 3rd Mustang, probably a Gamma, and put the Merlin with the Archimedes once "hangar ready ) and Gladius

a pure beauty indeed ...

and i sorted the issue of the VTOL pod disappearing, in fact it only does it in the R&Y hangar ... oh well VFG is good enough (who knew that such a beauty would be picky and choose a space rock carved cave instead of a luxury hangar ...

)

Kursah · Dec 1, 2015

Hmm... I want more ships!! I'm broke... I do have the 325A fighter (with the crappy stock cannon and so-so laser...) and the Aurora MR all stock as well.

I haven't played enough yet to even know much about upgrades...but could use a little guidance here. I keep seeing you buy more ships...and while I'd love to, dunno if I can swing it budget-wise atm.

Maybe I'd be better off doing weapons upgrades?
