Gotvoice attack? worth the extra $8.So glad I backed this when the kickstarter was up. Finally got a machine that runs it decently, having tons of fun. Started playing ~2 weeks ago, filthy casual and all that, took me a week to convince myself that a HOTAS is what I need, having even more fun now.
I also boosted one of my sidewinders straight into the edge of the mailslot after take-off once, so I've got that going for me.
Having such a nostalgia trip here, I loved F:E2 and FFE.
Vulture - Very manoeuvrable, decent jump range, two large hardpoints, but power issues. Kind of like an Eagle on steroids. Like it.Anyone tried out the new ships on the beta server? Not had a chance to download it yet, but dying for a good review of them.
AFAIK no official word yet. I would guess the Vulture to be about 10 million and the FDL at least 40 million but probably a lot more, maybe even 100 million to make it more "exclusive".Thanks for the info, both seem to suffer from really low jump-range. Any official word on the pricing?
Sitting in a Type 9 right now and wondering if I should simply grind the money for the FDL or sell this POS traderSure its nice to float 500 tons of cargo but dear god it handles like a dead slug and while I dont mind grinding I had a more fun time in both the Python and the Clipper doing trade.
Vulture 20m, FDL 100m, according to the price of the military grade composite, which is always roughly the same as the ship itself.Thanks for the info, both seem to suffer from really low jump-range. Any official word on the pricing?

Have a hard time with those calculations. FD are insane if the FDL costs more then 25 mil or so since its preformance vs price is a joke in that case. As you said, its based on the hull upgrades, I sincerely hope that is not the whole story.Vulture 20m, FDL 100m, according to the price of the military grade composite, which is always roughly the same as the ship itself.
However, their outfittings aren't as big as ships in that price range, so they aren't quite that expensive when fully fitted.
Python for example demands a 51 mil power plant and 16 mil thrusters, the FDL only wants 5 mil for each of those.
But both are too slow to be bounty hunters, so it's really just a very expensive PVE ship on both counts.
Dude, I feel your pain, but don't give up exploration! I've almost got my asp monies, about 1 million away, then its off into deep space until I die or almost die. Maybe in 5 months I'll come back and have enough to kit out one of these expensive ships.Went out 10k LY, scanned a shiton of systems including 4 earth like and a boatload of water worlds with life, came back 50 LY from civilization with all the data, jumped to a system, my son asks me something so i turn around to answer him for a minute, turns out my throttle was zero'ed near the sun's corona ....turn back when shit starts beeping, 350 percent heat, no saving that.
Fuck me for being a complete moron, Gah.
I hope you have enough for both ship and insuranceDude, I feel your pain, but don't give up exploration!

Indeed, the money I need is part of the required rebuys. I have explored 700 systems, just nothing further out than about 2000lyI hope you have enough for both ship and insuranceIt can be ....painfull out there.
I'm not sure how long that exclusivity will last but it's not a real surprise, as all Frontier's games seem to end up on the Xbox as well as PC. I guess the PS4 has No Mans Sky coming so Sony won't be in any rush to get it.Oh and exclusive release ofEliteon the Xbox One apparently... I hope MS had to pay good money for that.
FDL has a huge hardpoint. I don't see the problem. Given you don't need any size 6 or 7 modules on the FDL, it will be less than a combat fitted Python.Have a hard time with those calculations.

Why is it so hard for them to come out with the bloody price on things when they put everything else out there
Heard about it, getting along fine for now, plus the wife sleeps in the next room in front of the TV when I play...Gotvoice attack? worth the extra $8.
