edit: as for space jpeg's I ended up CCUing to a retaliator bomber from my constellation aquila for no reason other than I liked how it looked, I am sure it will find some use at some point in a goon fleet when the game never comes out. As for flying it...I could care less if someone else flies it..I personally would rather be in a gun pod or at the engineering minigame /ducks

Guys, turrets on bombers aren't ever an effective weapon. They were used in ww2 because escort fighters didn't have the range for most of the war. The turret gunners rarely took out fighters and only ever did because there were hundreds of turret gunners in the bomber packs vs a couple fighters. Even a well placed turret in SC would suck

well of course...but that is the entire point of large fleet battles. you dont go out solo in a ship with tons of turrets and a few friends onboard and expect to live longer than it takes a superhornet to find you, same as a b17 wouldnt expect to live long if a FW-190 or ME109 found them. the idea is to only take out a ship like that in large fleets of other bombers with a fighter escort.

yeah the ball turrets might hit like wet noodles, but 20 or so of said ball turrets on the same target is enough spaghetti to make that pilot feel something tingle.

any L class ship will be a "EvE Titan" of Star Citizen. useless alone.

Who is that segment even for? It would make sense to do a beginners tutorial around the game's release since that is when you are actually going to have new players. But this is a segment inside an ultra nerd web show where everyone knows how to move a joystick. He spent way more time talking about how 'realistic' the thrusters on the ship are than actually explaining how to use the joystick.

Don't tell me this is that "explain to women in sperg detail how to do something" fetish that some goon mentioned a while ago :stonk:

Karl, as usual, you are incompetent in everything you do.

http://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/03/05/financial-worries-linked-to-rising-suicide-rate-among-baby-boomers

Characteristics of people dying by suicide after job loss, financial difficulties and other economic stressors during a period of recession (2010–2011): A review of coroners׳ records

quote:

Financial/employment-related issues contributed substantially to 13% of suicide deaths.

People whose suicide was recession-related were more often employed and had financial difficulties than other suicides.

Few entirely recession-related suicides had ever had contact with psychiatric services.

Unemployment and job insecurity linked to increased risk of suicide

quote:

As an accompanying paper in The Lancet Psychiatry notes, fluctuating unemployment is only one effect of economic recession that may affect mental health. Other economic strains include falling income, zero hour contracts, job insecurity and debt.

You know why that is? Because financial stress can trigger a depressive episode, since everyone gets them at some point in their lives and it goes with all the risks depression brings. You don't need a history of mental illness to be susceptible. gently caress you, Karl.

Karl thinks he's immune to everything because he lives in the EU and somehow that means no one's allowed to take any legal action against him for any reason. I think the guy is beyond broken, he's so fixated on what we say, on what Derek does and attacking anyone who challenges his views. If he really felt justified in his opinions that SC is fine and nothing is ruined, why does he (or anyone else) give a poo poo what we post about?

cause if they just like own a hotas and mic that's one thing, but if they have a $5000 mancave for fake piloting? much less air controlling? it's less respectable.

Agreed, I am in no way moaning about what people find fun, if being an air traffic controller in a game is fun then fuckin go for it, life's too short not to :)

Turrets are there to deter attackers. They've been in use for a long time (Since WW1) because your big, slow target of a plane needs some added survivability that adding tons of armor can't compare with.

Its also not solely about fighter escort range, as even close air support aircraft in WW2 had defensive guns (See: Il-2, Ju-87, etc). The 100s of guns vs single-digit enemy fighters also ignores every part of the war that wasn't the Western Allies bombing campaign vs Germany.

A well place turret in SC could probably be fun, but that depends more on how much the turret in question and see and cover effectively. If a player could control all the turrets at once a-la War Thunder, it would be okay. With WT's control method, "fun" would rely on how good the pilot is and how hard it is to kill with turrets.
