I wish it was possible to destroy these things, instead of just forcing them to retreat..

[@ScreamingElectron]

Imagine the explosion.

[@BerserkMan-yw4ql]

Yeah, it think since the game actually tracks each of the capital ships it would be to much for Frontier to change the system so that capital ships can created or destroyed.

[@Kratos58gt]

Fair point, just imagine the amount of accomplishment players would feel for destroying one though.. I feel like they could build so much more into the power play portion of the game. There is a lot more, I feel, that can be done there.

[@BerserkMan-yw4ql]

For sure, power play is really lacking in my opinion and if capital ships could be destroyed i feel like they would appear more often making the superpower appear to be actually engaging in conflict.

[@Kratos58gt]

And in the case of war, it would actually make the player feel like they are doing something that can turn the tide of the war

[@shawngimnes]

Let me tell you, seeing this shit in VR for the first time I actually shouted out "I'm so fucked" when flying through a Federation capital ship's docking area dodging fighters. It was amazing.

How do you play in VR? Do you have to use a flight sim setup or can you just use the headset's controllers?

[@urfork1]

@@user-zq6yz5gf6d no headset controllers. its mouse and keyboard or flight stick. if you already have the headset, using a keyboard + a Logitech 3d pro stick is a very cheap option to have a great time. the 3d pro is only 40$ us. same price as the game.

Bro I’m over here happy to make 200k off a trade deal and rarely finding over 10 ships in one combat area while you guys are playing Star Wars space battle simulator.

[@KristofferEngstrom]

Am I the only one feeling its abit strange that some small ships can force a capital ship to retreat, meanwhile the biggest weaponsystems of the capital ship cant even kill a conda ? Feels abit wrong.

[@chriss2031]

My two cents so far is that the capital ships defenses are geared to survive other capitals while the fighters go around and pick apart the enemies heatsink ejectors? in areas the other cap ship cannot reach. If you cannot eject your reactors heat as a cap ship you have two choices, stay and melt yourself to slag or run away to cool off somewhere safe.

[@KristofferEngstrom]

@@chriss2031 true. That could be an answer. Doesnt bring clarity to the how a small ship can survive the hit thou. Must say Eve online has a good solution to this where they work with signatures etc. Biggest guns haveing a hard time even hitting small agile ships and vice verse.

[@chriss2031]

Well, given that deflectorshields ala star trek are right now outright unrealistic anyway you could chalk that issue up to shield frequencies etc pp. *shrugs* If they wanted relaism they should have rolled without shields to begin with but amma nitpicking.

[@thefoxamongwolves9843]

Yeah the Imperials fighter escort got killed pretty quick so it had to defend on it's own. Looks like it's guns had been shot out too and it wasn't even firing back toward the end there

[@thefoxamongwolves9843]

[@trickydicky2594]

It's specific to each ship. The sound design alone kept me playing for a while.

[@ugrena7419]

This games sound design is in a league of its own. I really wish I could say the same about the rest of the game. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to like, but I have a really hard time recommending it to anyone that doesn't have a very specific taste.

[@nathanpace3090]

@@ugrena7419 the game has a lot to it... but it’s so, SOOOO tedious sometimes. I barely play anymore as all I really want to do is get a big ship and fly around with friends, but the grind to get that is astoundingly large.

You know what would be kind of f*cking awesome? If you could actually destroy a capital ship.

The Majestic Class Interdictor is a battlecruiser manufactured by Gutamaya exclusively for the Empire. As a capital ship, the Majestic serves as the backbone of the Imperial Navy and the core of each of its fleets. In contrast with its Federal Navy counterpart, the Farragut Battle Cruiser, the Majestic Class prioritizes opulence over firepower, as seen in its prominent artificial gravity centrifuge which houses the crew barracks, as well as luxurious quarters and amenities for officials and guests. Nonetheless, it is still a fearsome warship that enemies of the Empire provoke at their peril.

Personally, I do wish that after a retreat, you could trace the jump of the Capital ship and head after it in an attempt to destroy it for good. Moreover, give it a heavy economic shift as a result. Makes sense why they'd retreat. You can fix guns, you can replace heat sinks, but rebuilding an entire Capital Class vessel would be expensive. Who wants that risk?
