Good call. One of them just ordered the T-Flight, the other just got a new PSU. Hoping to introduce them to Wings this week.

I've been in Nijotec fighting for the Feds but it's calmed down a lot. Mayhaps I'll head to Lugh, if feasible.
Hell with fighting for those corrupt pricks! Might head out there to kill me some Feds though

Corrupt? We're bring FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY to all the planets! Even the lifeless ones!
So I just screwed up and totaled my ship costing me 1 million in cargo. My own stupidity was to blame and I am going to be careful 100% of the time now (I was flying risky without cargo and that lead to this).
I've noticed a section in the menus that mentions cargo insurance and was curious if anyone knows how that works (or will work when implemented)? The only thing I can find about it online is where other players have asked about it on the official forums so I didn't know if it was planned or just something left in the menu.

I've only played with the debug camera for a few minutes this evening (Cities: Skylines, ya know), but I did quickly come up with two issues/questions:
Is it possible to move the camera further from the ship? It seems to stop at a fairly close distance (from an Asp, anyway). Is it based on a fixed value, like 100m from the starting point or something?
It wasn't working inside the dock, although the patch notes seemed to indicate that it would. Maybe because I rebound the hotkeys? I want it easily available for Voice Attack, and my VA seems to have issues now and again with multiple-key presses.

Bought the game and fought through a couple install headaches. Managed to get it up and running successfully though. Even salvaged my old PS2 Ace Combat 5 HOTAS for PC.
...and now I have to sleep for work tomorrow. But I'm ready for a weekend of tweaking controls and getting my outerspace on. Can't wait.

Flying that looks ridiculously fun. ^^
The Frontier forums are trying to put Cmdr Isinona in a Vulture btw..

This game has so much promise.

Yeah the Vulture is fun to fly. It's not particularly fast but it is nibble. The Viper was fun as well, they both make the Asp feel like a dump truck.

Gah, I want a Vulture so bad.

Where do you get the flag paint jobs? Was that a limited run?
I believe they were limited. Ended selling about a month or so ago.

Damn, I'm guessing they'll go back up again sometime. I want to show my 'merican pride.

Oh man, I can't wait to see how much I got back.

Yeah, I've parked my Anaconda and Python for now and fly around in the Vulture. High intensity conflict zones is not a problem with this ship, even with multiple ships firing on me. Great fun, and with the increased bounties I might even make a dough without having to resort to boring trading with the 'conda.
If the FdL didn't suck so much for its price, I might get rid of the Python.

That was a hefty rebate for the Vulture. I don't know the exact amount but it was more than 10 mil cr. added back to my account.
Edit: Holy shit, the Vulture is 5 million now. That should make a lot of people happy.

Does that mean the Vulture cost is ~10million now?
Felix Lighter

Apparently, it's 5 million. I must have received a 17 million cr rebate. I couldn't remember where my balance was before the update.
Anton Sugar

5 million??? Fuuuuuck, that's MUCH better. Now I have a goal
EDIT: FDL is ~51 million now.

Say Whaaaaaaaat? That means I can afford one tonight after I get home.
Edit: Someone on reddit said: Vulture 5 mil. FDL 50 mil. Fed Dropship 21 mil.

oooooo 50 mil for the FDL? That's in reach if I sell my Asp... but, I need that jump range.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Wait, the Vulture is 5 millions credits now????
Okay, now THAT's a price I can live with for a superior fighter over the Vyper. I may just have to actually buy one now. And exploration data is now worth more? I love that change!
Same! My current Viper is worth over 2 million, it's been a great ship. But it's time to move up to something a little more beefy.

For a while there hasn't been a proper combat ship upgrade from the Viper that was within reasonable buying distance. The vulture fits that role perfectly. So happy they finally realized there was a hole in the lineup.
I was able to move the camera around while docked because I remember it going through the floor into the lower dock area. Granted I believe I was on an outpost instead of inside of a station so that may have played a role in it. I will try to test both out the next time I am at the respective docks and see how it works.
Hmm after seeing how much more affordable the Vulture is I may have to go buy one if I decide to run more combat. How does it compare to a cobra for conflict zone usage (and/or RES bounty hunting)? That is the 'best" combat ship that I have at the moment or at least the one I've used.
Allright! Knowing that I will be picking up that Vulture and going for some combat. Sure I'll be spending almost all of my "hard earned" trading money but it will be something different.
Now watch me have a hard time finding one to buy and then finding a RES or conflict zone.

I can't wait to play. I'm sure my % in the community event has plummeted though.

It's a combat ship. They only cut prices on combat ships since trading still yields a lot more money.
Sorry, what?
At some point, it's speculated that pirates could operate out of hollowed out asteroid bases.
It's a combat ship that's shit at combat. The weapon hardpoints are spread too far apart and it turns like a pig.
Frankly the dropship is a giant POS.

Ugh, so I go out of town for work on Saturday and won't be back until Tuesday. I'm really worried the buff to combat rewards will be nerfed or reduced before then and I'll still be Vulture-less, so I kinda wanna cram as much as I can in over the next few days.
I still really, REALLY like the Vulture design, y'all. I actually think it looks pretty fucking awesome. Kinda reminds me of the Predator.
I think there was some concept art of bases in asteroid fields. Not sure if they've actually included it in their plans.
