No posts for nine hours? I guess this is a good sign?

raptor needs to find a niche. Any thoughts on where and how?
Apr 08, 2006 bojansplash link
Agreed, raptor still feels sluggish, more like a hornet but with only 2 wep slots.
However there is now one setup that is just too uber. SCP with dual hive posis.
Since SCP has uber thrust and spin he can use hive posis like a rev c /2x1500kg is nothing for SCP/ and with their uber targeting nobody has a chance against ship like that.

Agree with bojan about the posi-prom. And yeah, the raptor is currently pretty cool, but doesn't really have a role. The vult MkIII outperforms it in everything but turbo drain and recently spin torque. It has more mass, less armor, and less thrust than a vult, and the same weapon options.

I also agree with Bojan, but since the drop rates are low, it may take a while for someone who hasnt stocked up on hive posis so it may not even be that bad.

Oh and please reword the station faction phrase, it'd be better if it would say: "This station belongs to the [faction]."

There should be a limit to the size of ships that can dock with a trident or a cap ship. NO moths in either, and maybe a few others for the trident.

I fail to see how a HAC is too small to allow the docking of a moth...

Yes, the Hive Posi SCP is some scary shit, but as Astaroth pointed out, the drop rates are low, so it shouldn't imbalance things too greatly (although I still think the SCP needs a thrust nerf regardless - the AGT mass increase didn't do anything for it either, even though the AGT prom was the main problem with the AGT)

I still say that you give the raptor massive forwards thrust and no lateral/rotational thrust.

I'm with Rogue on this. Well. Heavily reduced lateral & rotational thrust, not no thrust at all. :P

TC and rogue:

without at least moderately high lateral thrust:weight ratio, a ship with such a fragile hull and large frontal area would be fodder in any kind of combat situation. While I agree that it needs more forward thrust and speed, I think that knocking down the later thrust much would be detrimental to its combat ability.

I say give it good thrust all around, but with exceptional thrust only in the forward direction.
