Also, for those still thinking "Why crew the Connie when they could bring their own ships?", the answer is fuel. One fully crewed Connie will use considerably less fuel than bringing a Connie + other ships. Another reason, is the ability for the crew to manage ship systems and conduct repairs mid-battle. I think there will be considerable efficiency gains to crewing larger ships, in general, rather than every individual bringing their own smaller ship.
@chobai99962 жыл бұрын
Plus when the new damage model system is when when there's no more HP bar for the ship, instead every ship and vehicle will have the materials that make up the ship react to stresses in different ways depending on the tolerances of each little piece of the ship. No more hitting a single spot on a ship over and over and just blowing it up... instead, you'll have to 'eat' through the armour and hull of a ship to take out components and the connections between those components. This will not only make things more immersive as decompression, gaseous environments, and fire will be a thing, but also make combat more strategic and just better overall; not to mention the engineering gameplay loop as well where you'd need to maintain ship systems and repair things on the fly. Theoretically a ship could be filled with holes like Swiss cheese and be fine if they miss components, or..you could take out someone relatively quickly if you aim for the right part of the ship and destroy their reactor or thrusters. Anyways, what this all means for medium ships like the Connie and larger ones that they will generally have more armour and hull thickness than small fighters, they will be able to withstand more damage, while a well placed shot to an Arrow could result in a ballistic shot going right through the cockpit and killing the pilot, or shearing through the middle of the ship and hitting the power supply and rendering it dead in space.

The best usecase I see for the connie is mining in the Pyro system. You scan and scout with the connie and merlin until you find a cave or cluster of harvestables. When you find a good spot, you drop off the ROC (i thought it could fit two) and start mining, while the merlin and connie secure the location. When you have to log off, everyone merges with the connie and you park it in orbit, go to bed.

Just more tech-debt that CIG will eventually have to address. Good video Morph. Thanks.

As much as I'm glad to hear that some work has been done, I'm not willing to consider the ship "fixed" until they actually fix the issues with it. Such as the bottom nacelle guns you mentioned. Those are supposed to support S5 guns too. This was a pledge promise and has been thoroughly documented by the community not only as an issue, but also with suggestions for how to fix it and after CIG themselves confirming the issue and saying they would fix it. For CIG not to address it while they were actually working on the ship after years of players already waiting is ridiculous. It's one thing not to address it for years, when you're working on other parts of the game. It's another not to address when when you're already actually working on it. For that matter, they didn't address the "center" struts obstructing players view, after Cruz already promising to address it in a recent SCL. In fact, it seems like they didn't really address anything the community has been actively complaining about for years. If you're already working on the ship, why would you not take the opportunity to fix the long standing issues with the ship and completely ignore the community in the process.

Subliminal posted a video where the Connie shredded an npc hammerhead in less than 15 seconds when it had some distortion weapons on the pilot guns. I think it was two s4 distortion + 2 laser repeaters. In my experience, a Connie can go all day against an npc hammerhead if maneuvering in decoupled mode. Basically it puts the main thrusters to work on turns, which allow you to circle the hh faster than the turret fire can track you. Even before the shield hole fix, the Connie was a perfect npc bounty ship because even soloing you could out-snipe everything until you got to the hammerheads. Now that shields are fixed, all bounties before ERTs are going to be on easy mode (I mean, they kinda already were) because the Connnie will be undamageable and unkillable, which means you can do bounties one after another without having to repair.

While the Coni's need a general update (like a lot of older ships) the last BIG problem with the Coni post 3.13 is the cargo bay. The cargo bay is made in such a way that the top half becomes dead space if a rover is place inside. This is especially a problem Constellation Aquila which not only doesn't need that much cargo space but it A) will 90% of the time have a rover in the Bay making the upper cargo area dead space, and B) lack many of the facilities expected of a Explorer. My Answer would be to give the Aquila a deck layout like the Phoenix fill with the equipment needed for exploration. As for the Andromeda I give it a hanging cargo area (so you can hold cargo and a rover) or Phoenix like layout with expanded work space.

The Harb was more durable, but the Connie with M7As on the top mounts could kill even Valks before they got close enough to fire back. Fairly stealthy with Sukorans too. I just found it far more efficient for everything save ERTs with an Eclipse. Like many, I've had a love/hate relationship with the Connie and melted it more times than I can count.

I wish you could set the Turrets as PDCs and have the auto engage at least defensively against missiles on their own. And i do like the 788 on the gimbals paired with some fixed Distortion weapons

I'm still waiting for the Taurus variant ... but I'm glad I have it, I really like the style of the ship. I also hope the bigger cargo will allow me to put a small ship in it.

I'm hoping that a Razor EX will fit in the Taurus variant or 2 ROC miners.

I'm sorry, but IMHO the connie needs a full rework, simply tweaking its numbers for shield and weapon strength ain't gonna cut it! I think it needs to be wider (it needs more internal volume, like the connie phoenix), and it needs a few more remote turrets for full 360 coverage (since its maneuverability isn't so good). I personally believe this ship is too small to have a snub fighter docked with it, use remote attack drones instead. Save snub fighters for larger ships, like the Caterpillar. Ships larger than the Caterpillar, like the 890 Jump, could even have 2 snub fighters! Cosmetic changes I want to see include - the silly lifting fans have got to go, and there are too many greebles on the hull (you don't have to remove them entirely, just tone it down a bit). Also, the struts on the front windscreen are too thick, make them thinner so they don't obstruct the view (again, you don't have to remove them entirely, just tone it down a bit).

I have owned all previous variants to the Taurus since I started backing in 2013. The Phoenix.. I purchased that for the mighty promises made at the time that it would be able to function as a Command ship! Betrayed by the Nerf Bat and ship and feature creep, I CCU'd all of them for bigger or better. Just the other day I applied a CCU to the Cutlass for the Taurus, I feel the ability to carry vehicles etc just opens up more gameplay options. I think it will be handy ship to have in the early days.

I actually bought one just when 3.13 public PTU got released. Just had news today that vehicles now properly go up when closing cargo bay Next ship will be a Carrack : Did you know 2 P-52/72 can fit in the upper ship bay, and actually some other small ship (m50, razor, etc.) can go in cargo bay 😈 ?

I fell in love with the Aquila while having it as a loaner for my Carrack, the size was just right for me, and I really do miss the ability to fire some guns while piloting. With a bit of love and care, the Connie will be a great ship, I hope they do another pass over for the bridge to improve visibility and a bit more use of the space inside the ship. I will be getting a connie in game, no doubt about it, I love the looks and the size of that ship, even though it was a buggy mess when I flew it.

I literally just earned enough to buy this ship yesterday. I'm still experimenting with builds but so far I love my connie.

I have found a stock loadout Connie makes PVE up to HRT simple as it quickly takes out the enemy before they can get close. I also do a lot of bunker missions and I have no trouble taking out the turrets with it. However for PVP it's a different story as experienced players know how to exploit its weaknesses. It was the second ship I bought, and I was never disappointed with it. I have considered an upgrade to an MSR, but the MSR has too many doors and the "immersion" gets tedious very quickly.

ive been taking on hammerheads solo in my connie. its all about how you engage. the trick is to pull the hammerheads out of the asteroid field, so you can maneuver at high speed and then either do fast passes or keep backstrafin at a distance of about 3km. i use c-788 and galdareens. Ive also defended against arrows and talons. Its not about how "good" a ship is, its all about what the pilot can do with said ship

The *only* thing that needs to be fixed is the hub area. There needs to be a better crew quarters. That's it. Once there's a better interior then this ship will be where it should be. The rear of the ship is fine.

My friend got the Andromeda before this patch came out and immediantly upgraded it to do as much aplha damage as possiable and have as much shields as possiable. He found he could easily destroy most targets in seconds and for heavier targets he just spammed his 52 missiles making the fight very easy. He never found that he was out maneuvered either being able to keep track just as easy as my fully upgraded Avenger Titan. The only issue he had with the ship is that sometimes it would randomly explode after a single shot when he had no damage but that could be because of the holes in the shield.
