Chances are your new set up will be pretty drat close to your old one anyway.

Soon I will have to go through the same thing: The cheap Logitech Attack 3 joystick I've been using is slowly breaking. If I'm lucky the thing will limp along until next year, when I was planning to buy a new one anyway. And a new joystick with lots of new and different buttons means re-mapping loving everything.

FDev needs to do some more CGs where completing them makes certain rank restricted ships available for purchase again to anyone for X amount of days. I'd love to get my hands on a gunship or Clipper again but can't be assed to bother with the rank grind (Even though I'm only one fed rank away from Gunship).

Huh. I must have done this at some point, because I keep unplugging and re-plugging my joystick all the time and never lost my bindings.

It could just be an old bug that they've fixed since then, but it seems like it keeps track of what profiles require what devices, and it tries to adjust itself accordingly. Emphasis on “tries”; “succeeds” not implied. The problem I had was that, with a custom profile, it would spaz out if, say, only half of them were connected — what wasn't there got unbound and replaced with default, which tended to move those buttons/keys from what I had reassigned them to. Double fun if I accidentally loaded my BMS profile in

Ah, that probably explains it: I only have the one joystick attached to my profile and my planned future joystick will also be an old-fashioned one-peripheral deal. If that only happens if you have something like those HOGMASTERS with their fancy multiple thingies or whatever, I'm probably lucking out by only having this one thing.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:so if money is no object, what would the ideal missile ship be? I agree with the goons before me and in no particular order, I'd go for: 1) The Federal Gunship. 4 medium mounts for packhunters paired with a pretty robust secondary layout (1 large, 2 smalls) makes this one a pretty solid contributor, especially once 2.2 gives you the option to carry a fighter bay. The dual fixed plasma repeaters plus chaff option for your fighter chews through shields pretty drat fast, plus having a fighter for a distraction should help keep your target from just outmaneuvering your fat rear end. It's also pretty drat tanky, if clumsy as hell and sort of a pain to travel with. 2) The Fer-de-Lance. This one also has four medium mounts for packhunters,and comes with a giantass C4 huge hardpoint for a 'secondary' gun - I'd probably go for a laser of some description to knock shields down. Bonus points if it's one of those modified setups that damages a target through their shields or overheats them. No fighter bay, but the FdL is pretty drat zippy and nimble for something its size - especially when compared to the Gunship. It doesn't nearly have the internal space of a Gunship, though, and it's a complete pain in the rear end to travel any distances with what with its 16-ton fuel tank. 3) The Imperial Courier. A rep ship, but it's pretty cheap and has three medium hardpoints. Plus, nobody expects a ship the size of an Eagle to vomit out fifteen-ish warheads per trigger pull. A lack of secondary weapons means this one really performs the best with wingmates to take out the other dude's shields (unless you go for something like the overload munitions special mod on all your missiles). Either way you probably want to also mount a heat sink launcher on your ship - three pack hunters put out a lot of heat in a hurry. The fDrop could basically be like a babby's first Gunship without the C1 secondaries and the fighter bay. I might also consider a fAss, with C2 missile racks and a pair of big C3 conventional guns.

Is this game still good? I'm wanting to play again but I haven't played since season 1. Do goons still have a presence in this game? E: when is season 3 generally expected to roll out? Are they on a 1 year cycle or are they doing the "it'll be finished when it's loving finished" routine? One in the Bum fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 5, 2016 |

We're in the beta for 2.2 right now. Drops in a couple days, then 2.3 and 2.4 are probably following in Winter/Spring 2016/2017. Don't expect season 3 before Summer next year. Edit: And yes, we still have a large presence in the game. See the other thread.

I remember being on a goon private group server during season 1 when Harry's monkey balls hangout was the place for goons. Looks like you've moved on to another system.

In the end I didn't preorder the new T16000 hotas because I was silly enough to get married sometime in the past and well, you know, accountability. Will have to wait until gift season. So if anybody got one, is it as good as the second coming of Jesus?

The entire update of 2.1 was delayed. Technically, Engineers was released in Spring. Commanders (2.3) is not going to be finished and released during Fall 2016 unless they half-rear end it and just put out avatar creation without fixing anything from 2.2 and don't even have a beta period at all.

30 modules stored is probably enough to get all the engineered FSDs and overcharged multicannons you'd want to transfer between ships. Aside from shipping engineered components for ships with crappy jump ranges I don't even know what I'd use it for. I guess it's a cool thing for some people and of course it'll get brown sea'd into uselessness. Much like having ship transfers without prohibitive costs/times it's a QoL feature and limiting it just makes it lovely. So yeah... it's going to cost a fortune and not allow you to transfer by the end of this. The Space Amish always win.

Yeah, 30 is enough for me because I fly one ship and only ever swap internals. It's a terrible number if you're a normal person. Should probably just be unlimited.

Sometimes I wonder how the devs calculate those numbers. Do they just put some notes with random numbers on a board and throw darts at it or how do they come up with this poo poo? 30 modules. Wow. Why not 3? Or 0,3? If we're using nonsense numbers, why not go full tilt into stupid ville?

On one hand I think people are overestimating how much storage they actually need but 30 seems like an arbitrarily low number.
