Brightmist Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Depends on what you're engaging but eventho Vanguard has a ton of shields and component health as it stands, that doesn't really reflect into its firepower and it's a bigger and slower target that most ships will have a good time shooting at. Fuel mechanics might come into play but Vanguard might not be able to land inside smallest capital ships like Idris to repair. Should do fine paired with Kraken tho. If F8C gets 1 size smaller hardpoints: 6x M4A + 2x M5A = 6 * 355 + 2 * 650 = 3430 alpha dmg Puts it slightly higher than a Hornet but lower than Vanguard, yes. It'd actually be alright and the ship might not end up breaking the game. S2 power plant on it is still pretty strong if it's designed to be a more nimble fighter than a Hornet.

Anvil does tend to compensate for lower turning speeds with high jerk values, which allows the f7c to turn really fast under boost. In the sheets the F8a has a slightly higher mass than the the f7a (it is way lower than the F7C- and its part of what the devs were talking about in the flight model ATV) and the F8a has less jerk. I expect the f8a to be faster, but not as nimble as the f7a. I think the f7a and light fighters will still have a strong role. Mass is going to get more and more important. I am really excited. Alas. they really should have prioritized the new flight model. and maybe reworked weapon velocities. But, I really like the anvil flight feel today.

Brightmist Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 They've also said smth about Aegis ships having good pitch and Hornet might just end up yaw heavy which would be nice I guess. Hornets might not end up being good in atmo tho, there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they sell a reward for SQ42 completion (and a concierge perk)? Wouldn't that undermine the incentive to play SQ42 (and annoy certain concierge members)?

ChiefWarrant Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I jest, BUT...... if they did sell it: CIG would absolutely clear $200,000+ in the first day of the F8 sale. They read the threads. They know the hype. If the Esperia Glaive can sell for 350, they can get away with selling this “unobtainium ship” for substantial more. 1. To limit the amount purchased for exclusivity 2. Enhance its rarity 3. I could go on but you get it. I can also make a longer list of things that CIG has done to annoy backer at all levels and date backed. We are not special. If I spent $60 or $15,000 .... I am not more entitled than the other person. If CIG sells the F8, those $10k backers essentially get one for free. Albeit, with a different skin to signify their baker level. As far as SQ42 play through. I don’t think access to purchase the F8 in the PU is the incentive of the game. The game is the game. The “Benny” is that you do have that option in the PU. So if you don’t purchase it (if it’s even sold) because you don’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of real money for a fighter, then play SQ42 and if you beat it.... there’s your bonus. TLDR: Origin G12A is the concept vehicle that will be sold and not the F8. But if they did both, one is priced affordably, and the other outrageous to limit.

Devil Khan Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 $1 mil is the low average for one event sales (per ship and not per brand). In recent years there have been more than one first time concept ship for sale and vehicles and also upgrades for "capital" ships. Aside from being only in the poster and vid. I seriously doubt it is for sale. Bengul was there will we get it? Btw, this was supposed to be held at gamescom which got cancelled. 99.9% says no sale for F8C.
