it's a little tough (atm) to facilitate "don't go there". starter missions generally send players to Rustville, RAB x, etc. Building Cargo rep with RnR? There's only a handful of routes they'll send a player. Besides all that, it's not pirates that are the problem. 3 out of the 4 trips to a planet, I've been jumped, not by pirates, just people f'in around. In one trip, I got missile spammed by a phoenix. Ran out of flares, RIP. Corpse run in a buc, landed, and jumpy by a Fury. lol It's Pyro my man!

18:30 This is desperately needed. Plus more breadcrumbs.

Piracy is griefing. Pirates always have the advantage and the game has no balance for honest players. Without the game having counters to pirates, those players are griefing.

not expecting from 4.0: any fix to update any of the forgotten ships or originally promised gameplay (which would go far to repair a lot of the growing erosion of player goodwill; but hey, worms and fluffier clouds are apparently a bigger thing to expend resources on). then again bigger systems are a good thing. shame we can't effectively qt anymore (note: 315p and a lot of other forgotten ships recently had their qt nerfed heavily). seems to be a long, ignored, and forgotten list that the shills and fanbois just don't bring up...

How dare you mention my mom!

Expectations are low honestly. But if we get stable servers, the entire game gets much better. Consistent hangars, elevators, and access to the inventory would be a massive QoL update😂 As a mostly solo player, I know I’m going to need to stealth my C1 out before heading into pyro and play smart. I’m looking forward to it. And hopefully my org runs some pirate interference to join in on.

WTF are you even talking about 12 people to a server, its ALWAYS been 50 or 100

I think you will be safe till mega orgs take over. Like a orgs filled with asmondgold simps like he did in new world

Dont make Videos If you dont know the Infos. there was a 50 Player Cap. Not 12. Station was delamar. And Pyro dont have more Locations. It has much less 😂 i can Go on but i Stop here

In eptu every settlement I go to for missions there is a polaris camping and killing players. So good luck doing missions.

In order to have ORG balance we'd need like 10k minimum players, maybe more. If everything was a 1 -3 player ship, we'd be good with way less, but having ships that require up to 65 lol... you need a sh*t ton of people to balance that out. Otherwise if two orgs have a proper "fleet battle" you are looking at potentially 500 people per side. That's a 10th of your server population with just that. No idea how they are going to make that work.

I think you're underestimating how many griefers there will be. I've tried visiting a planet in pyro with just an empty nomad just to appreciate and explore just for it to end about 3 minutes into getting in atmos destroyed by a random player for no reason. I've completely given up on the ptu because of it. Hoping once it goes live people stop just playing deathmatch once they don't have unlimited money

*pirate watches this video* *goes to the SECOND most lucrative spot* :P j/k lol

Yeah i like what i am hearing, Pyro will be an interesting shift in gameplay in most aspects of SC

Let them eat nachos and pizza!

It was Cry-Astro you were thinking about during 2.6.3.

I’m less concerned with griefing in pyro but concerned that they’ll stay in Stanton. There are already no consequences in Stanton.

NPC performance in 4.0 is great

Nice one!!

The prize at the end of contested zones is a random ship.

Are you in WA State?

Congratulations on the new fur baby! 😊 Thanks for sharing that!

The BMM is a show of the wealth and opulence of a Banu clan. Thats why there seems to be a lot of 'wasted space' and strange design choices within the ship. Its supposed to be form over function to a high degree, and that makes it feel more alien in a way. I like the massive open space in the gun room. Nothing else has something like that, and it makes it more distinct from other design languages and ship layouts, as I believe it should be.

If CIG makes it so the ship delivery delay is hours or days, as you guessed, they'd lose a ton of players. That would be completely stupid. As far as medical care, the same applies....players only have so much patience. It IS a game, afterall.

The ship cant be released without player trading/merchant systems being implemented first. doing so would make it floating paperweight with no real application other than being a base, which is something we already have.

merchantman would be due for major rework already and still wouldnt have its floating bargain barn functionality if it had released way beck then...............food for thought.

Did a minor upgrade from a C1 to a Zeus ES. It was the only thing i could think of that seemed reasonable/inexpensive (for me) to show some support.

The Paladin is pretty interesting since you can control the 4 size 4 guns and someone to man the quad size 5 turret, but i have a rule against buying concept ships because things can change

Love your content! FYI, the Gladiator got a major buff last patch! Pilot has 2x s4's now, shield went up to s2 and # of missile racks doubled! Coupled with tanky HP, I think you oughta give it another look!

I think that for the most part the redeemer doesn't need significant changes, I predict the paladin will have quite a bit less maneuverability than people think. If there's one thing I think needs to be addressed on the redeemer is the components, power to shields specifically, powering all 6 of those s2 shields takes so much out of your capability, and having a pilot with pilot weapons to worry about keeping on target will make it much more of a hassle to manage over the Paladin. I think the easiest way to fix this would be to simply change the redeemers shielding to a single s3, idk about space, but surely they can cram it somewhere if they're able to put 6 s2s.

Do you really get a free F8A/C for completing squadron 42? Have CIG confirmed this or is it just speculation..

ironclad not ironside XD dont destroy the name of my baby XD

Called the Ironclad Ironside. Ngl, I’d love a broadside cannons Irondclad variant called the Ironside! That would be epic 🏴‍☠️ Lose cargo for broadside cannons that would be useless against fighters but cool against bigger ships

Medical Terrapin was dubbed Hospiturttle on Tree0311 podcast.

The Paladin description was updated for the 'United Arms' section: "Each turret hardpoint can be manned by a dedicated crew member, allowing the pilot to focus solely on flying while gunners maintain pinpoint accuracy. When operating with a smaller crew, the pilot can take direct control of the wing turrets, ensuring no defensive position is left unmanned. During quieter moments, crew members can relax in their own private bunks, with onboard living amenities providing comfort and convenience no matter where the Paladin is deployed." Basically it means you can operate it with 2 crew and still utilize all guns, but with 4 crew you get more 'range of fire' I guess. I feel like more ships should be able to just do this, if this one can...but I fear this change is due to backlash that it had no pilot guns, and will change or be quickly nerfed (like a few other ships, you know...just a few others lol). Actually, I feel like a sudden change or addition hours after something is released or announced has happened a few times this IAE...

Love the looks of the Paladin but keeping my Redeemer.

I wouldn't say it is on the Valk chassis but from the recent jumpoint articles giving BTS looks at design process for new ships like the Starlancer they will start by sort of kitbashing existing concepts from the manufacturer. I think you can see bits of the Valk but also the legionnaire and terrapin.

I expected a bit more of a big reveal before just having the Paladin up for sale. This whole IAE feels like the cart comes before the horse a bit with the way they are doing accompanying video content. Just a bit odd. At least to me.

So as far as I recall CIG stated that you will have the opportunity to purchase the lightning in game after completing SQ42 I assume it is rep locked in 1.0 but you won't be "given" the ship.

Here is my dumb and stupid comment...... The Paladin is a good looking ship. I love the Valk but have no use of a dropship, this thing warranted a CCU grab for me.

I hope we see some interior customisation with the BMM. Some simple things like choosing the colours on the walls and floors, but maybe also choosing statues and other kinds of decoration.

Any advice for a lonely whale who owns literally 85% of ALL ships with skins concepted and released? 💰😏

I personally wouldn’t notice the difference in the skins for the Polaris unless 4 were right next to each other

Nice skins man 😂

My discord group is full of people who don't want to be a ship captain. I want to try all other roles too. I don't know where people get off repeating this idea that "everyone wants to be that captain on the bridge giving orders" based on nothing at all.

Been trying to get an Idris for 3 years now.

Man, what a cutie! Melts your heart.

Your personality really shines in this one. Congrats on the new pup!

I dont think I would take the Corsair over the Taurus for a solo or 1 player. Corsair isnt horrible but the Taurus I think edges it out and its 50 cheaper.
