I chose the Wayfare to be my Go-To size 1 drive for Pyro. Same jump range and its slightly slower than the Vulcan but a 22 second cooldown vs a 10 second cooldown could be the difference between life and death and also the Wayfare has a much lower signature, so a ship fit with the Vulcan would be detected from further away. Faster cooldown and better stealth wins it for me

@TheeKevlarDucky Ай бұрын

Workaround for that is to cancel your jump right before arriving to the location (>5mm) Burns off the high CD and then you jump the short distance again and the CD is ridiculously low. The difference between Vulcan and wayfare at 100GM is like 2m45s so not a small amount.

@hawkzulu5671 Ай бұрын

@@TheeKevlarDucky Yeah and in my prospector id be visible another 20km further away with the vulcan vs the wayfare. With the mix of stats i chose the wayfare - even though its flight speed is slower - because of the other factors.

Just one problem with Industrial QT drives - their cooldown is massive in comparison to others. They're fast, and efficient, but they pay with cooldown. For S2 drives, please pay special attention to Hemera (Civilian A). To me it _looks_ like the true successor to XL-1: - third lowest cooldown time (behind both Competition drives, lower than even the XL-1) - lowest fuel use (tied with XL-1 and Spicule (Stealth A)) - third fastest (after XL-1 and Huracan (Industrial B)), with roughly the same spots for acceleration - fifth highest health (behind all the Military drives and _just_ behind Huracan) - can actually be bought in shops, unlike XL-1 and Spicule Until CIG detects we're having fun with it and _rebalances_ it, naturally.

Got a rambler for pyro explorer but now with the reduced fuel tank size am not happy with it . will let the 4.0 patch settle down then may have to melt ship and look for something else.

@ericwatson9152 Ай бұрын

You should do this for S3 ships. The size 2 QT drives actually have less range than the size 1s. So a 315p can travel much farther then a C1/cutty even though they both have a 1.2 qt tank.

@Gofr5 Ай бұрын

Last I saw the S1 and S2 QT drives were the same in terms of efficiency, but you're right. They've since bumped up the numbers for S2 drives. Medium ships getting shafted here.

@allekatrase3751 Ай бұрын

You're reading that efficiency stat wrong. I don't know why, but for some reason it's related to speed more than fuel. Just plug in the Vulcan and compare it to the second option, the Goliath, then compare the fuel required. Just look at the max distance possible. Better fuel efficiency means longer max distance so for the best fuel efficiency you want to sort by max distance. You then probably want to go for the fastest drive with the max distance. Which is still the Vulcan, but the efficiency stat won't necessarily get you to that.

@ThornedLily Ай бұрын

The Pisces was a close second for me when I went to buy my starter package, but the Cutter has always been my top choice from the starter options and it was on sale at the time so I had to skip the Pisces. I'll definitely be picking one of its versions up in-game though.

@Leptospirosi Ай бұрын

16:10 the only ship that should have been upgraded (other than the Mustang Beta, which is a Pathfinder with 0.5 SCU of QF🤦) should be the Nomad, which is a very large size B ship, once again crippled by insufficient range for hauling stuff to destination. The point is not just going somewhere, but being able to bring back another cargo to maximise profit. At least the Hull A has been given 1.2 SCU of QF, but the nomad, haulier of choice to bring a RoC to a cave and back, is now too limited in Range for Pyro, for no reason as most of its large hull is technically empty

@Baleur Ай бұрын

100i more QT fuel than SanTokYai, a heavy fighter designed to patrol solar systems, and too big and bulky to fit in any carriers smaller than Idris. I dont know what CIG are smoking when they come up with these random balance numbers. Favourite alien ship now melted for store credit because its too frustrating to use. How much do you wanna bet the Mirai Guardian will have at least 1scu QT fuel (twice that of Santok)? Classic CIG nerf before sale.

@valdecirzimbros9179 Ай бұрын

I thought the Cutter Rambler has an auxiliary quantum tank to extend its range? It accidentally got left out at its launch, but then got added. Did it get nerfed back out or accidentally left out once more?

You shouldn't hand-wring for even a second about current ship stats. They are literally arbitrary good-enough-to-test placeholders. They have zero bearing, ZERO BEARING, on the way they will be at launch. Buy ships for what their purpose and roles are and if you like them visually and vibe with them. The 'nerfs' and 'buffs' mean nothing. Nothing in the current game will remain the way it is. It is all placeholder and in flux. We have NO CLUE how things will shake out or if there will be one meta or another. You're basically hearing a baby cry and moaning "Oh no! This baby will never be a doctor with how much it's crying!" It makes no sense. This game is incredibly nascent still. If, in two full years, they start to balance things with an eye for launch, then you can start paying attention and complaining about them. Until then do yourself a favor and relax.

It breaks up the paragraphs and has natural pauses. Perhaps you could adjust the editing parameters to be less efficient/brutul with the non-speech deletions.
