2115v7 - Your Thought

[BelzeBoss]

well as u guys said is true...
I would also like well... when u made the new ships stronger, why u don't make the older ship stronger  just to balance it...
Cause i don't like Phantom is too good ship and too fast... and WA1 is just fast :\
That is example...

At Phoenix, m8, u stole my render  :-w

Guys, I really don't know how you test how fast is a ship turning.
Actually, the easiest way to know it is to edit the ini files and just read it, but (thanks god) they're coded and you/we can't see it.
Now the only way to know how fast is your ship is only ingame.

I suggest you to use facts and not your thoughts. Another point is that you "feel" better or you think one ship turns faster than another, or simply you just like that ship and end point.

But let's act like scientists. Try this:

First of all; does a ship turn faster stopped, on reverse or in cruise? How can we test it?

I do the following: select a planet, trade lane, station, whatever that doesn't move, and put your nose right direct to it. Then start turning left or right and start chrono at the same time. Do at least 4 complete turns (4*360º) and stop chrono when you're right at the same position as when you started. Lap time=Total time/number of laps.
Now you can see how fast can your ship do a 360º turn. The more laps you do the less error you'll have.

Second. Now that you know that your ship turns as fast stopped as braking and as in cruise, do the same with the ship you want to compare.
Check results. Surprised?

U are damn right...I wanna fly ships like Crusader, Defender, Dragon, Wolfhound, i wanna pvp in these ships...but sadly they are vanilla so weak.

@ Hash: they're compressed, not (en)coded. Also, you don't have to edit your ini files to just read the values out from them - so if you only do that, you aren't doing anything illegal with your client. (Messing around with them, recompressing them and overwriting the mod files, however, will hopefully earn you a swift kick in the ass by FLAC.) Let's act like scientists, and try to dig as deep as the source :P

@cmdrsaman: Hahaha, Idk m8, I just opened that with my wordpad and what I saw was worse than chinesse to me.  :P
If you say you can read it (without touching) then much better. You'll see that many ships turn as fast as many others.

Ok - something worth remembering here is this: "You can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time BUT never ALL of the people ALL of the time."

With that in mind its worth researching the vessels - remember all the fuss over Titanium Crushers and Eagles?  Well I dont see it being that different with these other vessels till people get to try them out and decide for themselves.  Despite the lag I was able to take down an ESF player in his new ship - I was in the Anubis Mk2 with Annies and it torched a player using lasers - so at long last it appears that the balance with the lasers has been restored - at least thats how it looked from my end.  

I am trying out the Typhoon Heavy Fighter - seems promising.  My connection is a little better than it was before, however I have noticed that the moment battleships turn up its a waste of my time playing as the Packet Loss goes through the roof. My ping maxs out at about 120 to 150 - not great, but its the /loss percentage (packet loss) that is the killer - 1 and 2% doesnt help but its workable.  Battleship turns up I get 20% loss and then the connection drops... Might just be me and my lousy connection.

I will work round the different ships - keen to try out the traders.....!

Overall?  Brilliant! - could have been a few more inclusions from other contributors but that decision is not up to me. Personaly Im sorry the battleships are still in - but hopefully this time they fly like battleships and will need fighters to protect them - just like in "reality" - Battleships flying like fighters or freighters? Nah....doesnt work for me.

Havent had a chance to check out the 3D systems - hoping that they have been "tidied up".  Any sign of trade lanes in the 3D systems yet?  Would be ok if they were made 2D  - but again thats not up to me.

Enjoy - and remember - You Are Being Watched.... Scream On!

a simpler way to check the stats of ships is by using FlStat...
its a program which gives you info about ships and weaps..
just so peaple dont get the wrong impression:

IT IS NOT A CHEAT

see for yourself
