Anybody else think that's a silly name? All ships have a hull.

No worse than some car manufacture names in real life. :pac:

The Design article on cargo interaction is just awesome.

New Reliant, looks like a star wars B wing. It's also smaller than it looks.

Includes life time insurance.

That's a pretty cool looking ship. Looks a lot bigger than the other starter ships.

Looking at size comparisons it's not that much bigger.

Mostly the flying wing design making it larger.

humanji

True, I suppose. I haven't actually looked at any stats, I was just looking at the picture of it landed with the cargo being loading on the back. Maybe because it's back loaded, it gives the impression of a bigger craft.

It's not a bad price, either.

Is it wrong that I want to play around with these assets?

humanji

That Bengal looks pretty awesome

The_Valeyard

Seen the Panther.......wow, the size of that thing!!!

Even if the game ends up being rubbish, as long as I'm able to wander around the bigger ships I'l be happy. I don't know if that means they're that impressive or I'm very easily amused.

Could be both

All military ships are free to fly next week.


Anyone buy a Hull ship or Reliant?

SC is really pushing my RAM at 80 odd % usage with just it + Win7Pro running. Its coming close to time for a full new rig just for this :pac:

That...was.....excellent. They can rip off Alien(s) film music all they like. Great show for the disbelievers.

Robert ninja

Content was very solid. Looking forward to the full release. Presentation was handled badly, though. They really need to outsource or contract someone to handle the overall presentation.

The_Valeyard

Multi crew........brilliant!!!!! Looks so much fun. Great progress made!



Agree with Robot Ninja, presentation poor, content excellent.

Dair76

Missed the live feed earlier, but will try to give it a look over the weekend. How long was the presentation?

Edit: Oh, it's showing for me now. Over two hours!

Glad I waited before buying a new stick, the branded ones look good.

$149 for the cheaper one Options are good but will have to see what other companies answer it with.

149 for a HOTAS is not actually that bad. Depending on the build quality though.

I'd wait for reviews of the new sticks as Saitek's quality control is pretty poor. Was really hoping Trustmaster would be the one who got the license to make them

Rumour is that Saitek were the only ones willing to build new models rather than skinning current models which while it's still a rumour does make sense since they have a nice modular design.

My only issues with Saitek so far has been the RAT 7 mouse, I swear by my STRIKE keyboard and the modular pictures of Hotas attached to said keyboard made me just a tad wet.

Yep, the Star Citizen: Mouse, Keyboard, and joystick combo, looked amazing,

mouth drooling over it!!!
