Topic: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

Personally I don't feel that sharing accounts should equate to a permaban as some seem to think it should, people got slaps on the wrist, whatever.

Moving on now....


When we get freighters yo?!

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

The informations leaks by the dev are rare, what they have says until now :

  • named the scarab

  • an hovercraft, without the cushion

  • a new extension for pilotting it

  • about 720 U for the cargo hold

  • and it is expected to be released before chritsmas.

All of these are sneak peak, gathered from various talk with the devs, it might change until the release.

Yummy!

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

Well, thank you Devs for awnsering me with the blog!

Its going to be interesting to see the base speed, as a heavy probably fairly slow, and with 1 leg slot making a choice between LWF and a sheild is going to make for some interesting encounters!

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

It better not be any slower then a lithus... Lithus is heavily armored. The blog says this will be thinly armored, and it hovers... so it better be as fast or faster then a lithus.

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

Blog says about the same. But there's that choice between sheild and LWF, and without a t4 LWF its of course going to be much slower than the lwf fitted lithus.

Even LWF fitted on the Lithus, you almost have to have a sheild to protect against bumps and scraps, as its actually too slow to get past even the 1st bots on the Gaoley to ICS-A leg without taking a few pot shots.

LWF fit, with low armor, could mean a signifiacnt amount of damage even from 1 star bots as you plod past.

So, while it has some good terrain coverage, finding 100% safe paths is going to be a challanege, even on alpha, and I can see the need for escorts on beta.

My guess is that leg slot is going to default to a sheild, as a LWF isn't going to make it fast enough to avoid being locked, not to mention lwf reducing the already low armor, just makes it too dangerous to lose the bot. But it will still be faster than making (3) round trips with a lithus!

My guess is the MK2 version of this bot will be very popular.

Looking forward to new players and new conflicts.

900U? Yes please!


4 hours mining and one trip hauling? YES PLEASE!

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

MK II will be the shiznit ; the extra cargo is nice, but it will be the extra leg slot so they can LWF and sheild fit.

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

HOVER BOTS HOOOOOOO

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

I don't know what it's going to take to prototype one of these, but if anyone is intrested in pooling resources to get these things into production I'd be more then glad to help. Get in touch with me and we can work out some kind of deal.

A stack of industrial hmech kernels (t1 should do it), a healthy amount of norgalis and epitron, and a pile of misc commodities.

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

Smokey I have some alts that farm kernals so if we can work out a deal I'm happy to help out

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

found this to be the most exciting part " it’s the first member of a new robot class we call gliders"

New class of robots is good and means more choices are on the way.

factional mission tokens is good too...id rather have nic and rep gain and be able to select what i need as a reward later on in bulk.

On a side note on missions, i would like more mission type control.  Personally i like missions to compliment what im doing rather than driving what i do, but request that the option to talior what my missions require rather than take away the new more interesting missions.  Basically id like an option to select what im killing/resourcing/scanning ect, dont care if it comes in reduced reward form.  Keep the new multi step missions however, just give me an option to get a bit of rep and nic bonus for what just feels right at the moment.

Im guessing we'll have new Hover bot NPC's to kill for their tech and kernals smile

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

My question is how much would a Scarab cost big_smile Getting one Definitely makes setting up mining/harvesting camps quite viable wink Also the tokens are a good touch big_smile

Re: Enough about account sharing WHEN WE GET FREIGHTERS?

You industry nerds really need to think abit outside the box ..... The bot hovers ..... Its effectively not limited by mass, therefore a LWF should not increase the speed. Bottom slot will then be a shield (or the cargo expander mod hinted in the dev blog)

Pure speculation here of course but it would be cool if the Devs used this logic.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against industry nerds, I make fun of my industry alt all the time. Please do not raise the cost of my T4 sensor supressors!
