Fine for a ship in space, but anything that lands ... Do you not understand the significance of "above ground level" or AGL in flight parlance? That's one radar reading that tells a pilot how far above the ground he is. When you fly NOE (look it up), your altitude AGL is VERY important. GPR is a separate system on the ships.

Devil Khan Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 nearly six month later... and GPR isn't a round dish and I'm sure we had already dealt with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldon Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So lemme get this straight. You're taking issue with the fact that a mining ship - designed for finding ores and minerals in the ground - has a special ground-penetrating radar that's pointing at the ground?

Devil Khan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Personally I'd prefer if it didn't go out so far. It would be fine if we had large flat areas without rocks and "stuff". It's fine like the retaliator rotating it's engines they clipped the ground still it is still a retaliator how many of you have wallpaper or posters. Anyway, they are all my opinion have zero ruling in CIGs law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they are all my opinion have zero ruling in CIGs law. For the retaliator, I like the fact that it can't just land in the middle of the desert. It is not designed fro exploration and would not have those requirements (kings of like how f/a 18s can't land on a dirt runway). On the other hand, I am fine with hand wavy magic for the GPR, even if it has to be far from the ground (as it will need to be with all the rocks (or maybe the want to force us to find a super flat spot!).

Devil Khan Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Very nice the Prospector is nearly flyable. However they should really fix the glass looking outward. I mean you don't see the reflection on normal place/helicopter glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 So... 3.0 is here and playable to an extent. One question right off the bat on Prospector. I have been searching for an answer and also asked on RSI forums. Drawn a blank.. WHAT is the doohickey that drops down on the aft end for, do?

I believe it's a stand to prevent your ship from tipping over while using the mining laser. You can see it has a fairly wide flat base and hydraulic arms, most likely to aid in stability either on uneven terrain or shaking from the laser beam.

Danakar Endeel Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Woohoo! I got to check out my very own little Prospector today! Seems it had Gremlins in it though as the thing was malfunctioning with sparks and smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoA Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Time to get really excited about the Prospector and what CIG is doing with Mining + Scanning (if you own one this is a must watch CIG vid). Out of all the ships I have melted (to shift my pledge to other ships) = the Prospector has now vaulted to the number one position to Un-Melt (still thinking about it - but I get these frequent urges to increase my pledge for some reason - lol ). The reason why the Prospector is so attractive is that it doesn't overlap much with the function of the Orion as much as something like to Vulcan overlapping the Starfarer / Crucible. Per the video it looks like CIG is really thinking out the mining mechanic and it looks really fun GeraldEvans and ChiefWarrant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
