If I buy the AMD 'mustang' package off someone from eBay does it include alpha access or is it limited to beta? I already have a package with alpha in it, and I'd like to keep it if I sell my current ship to someone on reddit!

It has Arena Commander access, but it wouldn't have FPS or the other modules before beta access.

To put this in perspective, though, no other packages you can buy right now include access to all of the alpha phases (but all except the $30 one have beta access). The cheapest package including an ArCom pass is $45. So generally speaking, if you can get one of these codes for less than $45, you are saving yourself some money.

A dog begins eating a dusty old coil of rope but there's a nail in it.

If you don't care about what ship you start with or LTI or whatever, the AMD package is the cheapest way to get the game.

It's a "good deal" for that, given SC's unclear reputation as a "game"

Yeah. And if you don't own Alien: Isolation, Dirt 3, Dungeon Siege 3, Alan Wake, Darksiders 1/2, Company of Heroes 2, Total War: Shogun 2, TitanQuest, Supreme Commander, Just Cause, Deus Ex, Payday 2, Thief, Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution, or Sleeping Dogs then it's an even better deal.

I'd shy away from CoH2, it's a bugfest almost as bad as a Bethesda game. Other than that, the fact that they essentially throw tons of great games makes it even more worth it.

I blame SWToR.

Actually, it would be more fair to blame rpg games in general, but for now SC seems to avoid most of the rpg stuff like experience and crafting levels. Then again, if there is not encyclopedia worth of facts and stories about every planet and space station, I am gonna be bitching about the lack of immersion, because I am that kind of autistic sperg.

Now, had he said Retaliator, then perhaps I'd be quakin' in me boots slightly. The Retaliator is a proper beast.

I dunno. They just upgunned the Redeemer significantly. More guns and bigger (S3, S4) guns. And S4 missiles.

The Retaliator is clearly the kind of thing you use to tear apart a capital ship, but I think the Redeemer's what tears apart Retaliators now.

Was:

CLASS-3 2× (5x S2) – 2× (5x Firestorm Kinetics ASIM-09/c Spark III)
CLASS-4 Unmanned twin turret (nose) (2x S3) – 2x KA 11-Series Broadsword (S3)
CLASS-5 Manned top twin turret (2x S2) – 2x K&W CF-117 Badger Repeater (S2)
CLASS-5 Manned bottom twin turret (2x S2) – 2x K&W CF-117 Badger Repeater (S2)

Is:

CLASS-3 2× (5x S4) – 2× (5x Talon ASIM-20/c Stalker V per rack)

CLASS-4 Unmanned twin turret (flanks) (2x S4) – 2x Kroneg FL-33 (S4)

S5 engines, and apparently very heavy armor plating.

I'm sure they will, but a S4 missile is one short of a space torpedo, isn't it? Biggest thing you can fire that's not, presumably, slow and huge?

No comment about "Space Court", watched the unfolding drama, but not participate (much),but was the mods that banned. No one flagged posts, so Mods just doing their own thing protecting us from ourselves as usual. I was under the impression org thread's worked under slightly relaxed rules. But again there are certain threads that can run riot if the opinion's being put forward are pro-CIG, otherwise they'd have been shut down in a heart beat.

I read somewhere that Beyond Earth is now a part of the deal as well.

That's pretty tempting.

Turns out I was wrong about Thief, so I snagged Just Cause 2 instead.

I wish I knew how to use them to get Beyond Earth, I didn't see an option for the card I bought.

Oh, I wasn't talking about the RSI mods or forums. I couldn't care less about those and I'm shocked I'm not permanently banned from there already. I was talking about being banned from Goonrathi. Unfortunately it's hard to tell the difference between the two from my position.

If they do it like most previous CR games then Bombs=Torpedoes and you cannot physically launch a Torpedo unguided. They took so long to lock on you could not physically launch more than one torpedo per pass.

From the sounds of it we'll see a spectrum of it from dumbfire to ones that have their own counter-countermeasures built in.

From a gameplay perspective it's a question of how you design it so comedy point blank torpedoing is not a thing. Point defense guns that need silencing, minimum range for the torps to arm, and longish launch sequences including long lock on times would be expected. Else goons will just start suicide-ganking capitals in safe space.
