Clairvoyants. Duh!
Clairvoyants. Duh!
Just clairvoyants? how about a channeler or a telepath? a pyromanth might come in handy, too..
6 Months Paid? Wouldn't you say it's fair that Beta Testers get one too. ;_;
Wasn't Ingame Time reset when they started allowing us to pay for this stuff?
Anyway, I'd like to see it as a Preorder Gift, but that's just because I'm a preordered customer. :P
The ship certaily has a foot-to-rear-end-ism to it, and it's rather different from all the other fighters.
The long-time-signup-thing, does that slip if I let my account expire by 1-2 days?
That happened to me fairly recently between two 3-month-subscriptions...

Oh aye Demonen, me too, I hope not, I mean, im greatful theres the option to use paybycash, but they are not always as fast as they could be, and my accounts expired a few times (ok, i could buy bigger chunks, or sooner), and its usually not really my fault (ie, a delay in sending money to PBC, or them just not realsing they do actually have it >.<)
Oh well, if worst comes to worste, i'll just get another 6 month thingy :D

SF:
Limited-access ships don't -replace- other ships... least of all the vulture.
as for ports, I'm thinking (considering size and form) 2 small and one large... or if we get more specific ports, something that would let it carry the equivelant of two non-missile large weapons.

Out of curiosity, are we talking 6 months of paid & played, or just paid?

How about we put the CtC cargo in these babies? That'd be fun.
The CTC transport needs to fight back then Leebs.
Or it's just another pretty thing that goes boom. :P

"LeadFist: It isn't the update size, it's the total download for new users. We're very careful about increasing the size of the overall client. If it exceeds the "newbie patience threshold" then it may impact our new user trials and potential signups. We add stuff to the client only when necessary, and we go wildly out of our way to keep it as small as possible. Hence, our MMO is 120megs or so, while some are over a gig and most are somewhere in between. The smaller the download, the more accessible we are.
These textures will only add a few megs, it isn't the end of the world, and given the importance of the ship it's worthwhile. But again, as time goes on it all adds up. These textures, the new cap ship, so on and so forth. I have to be careful, I have to keep these things in mind. That's all."
Don't let the download size mess to much with adding content. Most users that play MMOGs have broadband. I would say that a gig of data is no big deal. To make the download easier on users with a slower connection, split the download up into sections. That way a new person can download ships one night, pause the download, and come back and download the universe the next.
It seems like 512x512 would become a problem when dealing with larger capital ships.
Interesting shift in design. So are you going to morph existing ships towards the new design, or create new ones to replace the old?
