Montic’s post referred to a lack of pilot gun functionality with the Command Module docked, which is stated as a ‘for now’ and could be enabled in future, alongside the turret.
Q: Why so many jumpseats in the Ironclads?
A: So you don’t get thrown over in atmosphere. They’re for the people being transported, not the crew.
Q: Did the paints get swapped between Base and Assault?
A: No, yellow for the Assault is intentional.
Q: Paints not showing up after pledges?
A: Too high concurrency on the patch, back end is too slow
Q: Six guns and missiles for the Pitbull?
A: Unfortunately we couldn’t fit more. It was supposed to be as small as possible and so they had to make an effort to make it less cute in the process.
Q: In the current meta, why put 1-2 repeaters on ships anyway when they do little damage?
A: They’re supposed to be a threat to stuff like the Gladius, not to something big. And you can swap out guns as well, anyway, or come in after another ship has damaged the armour of your target.
Q: When toilet gameplay?
A: Absolutely no idea.
Q: Ripple selector on Tali for carpet bombing?
A: Limitation on queueing ordinance, increasing limit on bombs would also increase it for missiles.
Q: When will landing gear wheels actually roll?
A: No idea other than that it is still planned
Q: Will Origin ships in the future follow a similar design to the M80?
A: High-end DNA such as in this one will be present, but the overall feel will depend on the ship’s role.
Q: If the M80 competes against the Scorpius, how do you keep it from being overpowered?
A: They are different tools, the Scorpius is multicrew and turreted which has its own advantages.
Q: Why another refueler in the MISC Starlite?
A: The Starfarer is too big to be the entry into refuelling. As such, one ship with two Starfarer fuel pods was the solution.
Q: Was the ship specifically built around the feature?
A: Yes, it was the only way. It needed some nods to the Starfarer. And it does only the refuelling, no refining. No fuel harvesting.
Q: Does LAMP work on some of the new ships?
A: It should work on the M80. But refer to JC’s Spectrum post if it doesn’t, it depends on the canopy setup.
Q: Why not incentivize all loops as big money-makers?
A: Not all loops need to be rags to riches. Some things you need to want to do for fun rather than for money.
Q: Differences in Tiburon interior?
A: Massive armory where the docking collar was.
Q: Who fires the laser?
A: The laser is pilot controlled.
Q: What about the Idris laser and current bugs?
A: There were hit improvements but then also there was a bug with how some of the damage was passed on. An elegant solution is being worked on. These bugs are unfortunately also present in the Tiburon.
Q: Is the Tiburon considered a Hammerhead variant?
A: A variant shares the name of the base ship. Like an Avenger Warlock, Sabre Raven, Constellation Phoenix. This has been the case since the start of the project. As such, this is not a variant. Just like the Meteor is not a Mantis variant. They’re just built on a similar chassis.
