VoA Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 You can fit Banu Defender in 890 Jump, just not in the landing mode Pharesm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefWarrant Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Just beautiful. I think and hope this is the patch were CIG gets some love and pats on the back for the work thus far. Caves are cool, FPS mining is cool, toggle VTOLs, weapons, attachments, ....... just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharesm Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 So VOA, how is the Defender doing in pirate swarm? Better than a Gladius? A Kartu-Al? a Glaive? And could you take some new interior shots? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they dock or perhaps they can be slaved to the BMM through AI. I just looked at this post AGAIN, and I thought damn, he's MORE than right! Should be as many defenders on a BMM as there were fighters rolling off the Necromonger mothership! INVASION! Booster Terrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't run them in the PTU yet (images are from other Evocati). My guess is that the defender doesn't have its true potential realized yet (with its strong defensive options like in the concept sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athenos Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Wasn't the shield on the defender supposed to be a "active" shield operated by the co-pilot? So as single player ship its true potential will never be realized. LowZone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as single player ship its true potential will never be realized. I think so...... the Banu ships are actually more co-dependent on each pilot and each other ship (so likely yes - you'll need both pilots for its true potential) - likewise its sybmotic relationship with the Banu Merchantman isn't know yet.

Pharesm Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Awesome! So this leads me to assume, that you can get two motorcycles into it as well! Good times for the Defender crew, should they touch down on a planet ...or a large enough ship to drive a motorbike on, or in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustav.Henrik Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Do we know what caused this massive massive traffic to CIG site? Is it just the Mantis sale that broke RSI page? Or did CIG sell a few javelin and idris or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefWarrant Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It was boiling point of 3.7 launch, Mantis sale, Defender sale, Harbinger variants sale, ALL OF it!!!!! I'll never understand why do updates on Fridays. It's gonna be all hands on deck working through all these issues this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharesm Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 All three pretty cool shots! And I think you are the biggest fan of all the alien ships in Star Citizen! Did you get that Tevarian drop ship? I'm pretty sure you did I used to have a Karthu-Al, but with all of CIG's shenanigans, I melted the sucker. The only Alien ship I still have is the Glaive, and I'm not too happy with the current state of it either, but then I haven't downloaded 3.7 yet, cause I'm away from my home and my unlimited internet connection...

Didn't get the Tevarin drop ship but still retain my Khartu-al (and have the Santok yi (sic)) - since it is still one of my favorite ships in the game. Here is another cool shot from Reddit... Come dance with me under the sea. and this one... LowZone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be as many defenders on a BMM as there were fighters rolling off the Necromonger mothership! I'm not sure it will be that only because the Defenders have beds which weakens the parasite ship theory as well as the remote control theory. It is designed to be long term fighter support (notice I did not say long distance). My money is still on some kind of contact-less connection. Sensor linking, regenerating hull when in range, fuel replenishing, or shield boosting Like beaming energy to the Defender so when its in range it's shields recover faster/stronger (A.K.A. AoE defense boost from the BMM). The Banu seem to favor shields over armor so the last one is my top theory. Pharesm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Terrik Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I would still like to see some kind of drone mothership where remote controlled fighter drones are controlled from Within the safe confines of a large drone carrier. Given the ever expanding use of drones nowadays I think it is a safe bet that a lot of warfare in the future will be drone based. You would only lose relatively cheap hardware in case of a dogfight loss without losing the irreplaceable pilot/drone operator which takes years to train. Even AI controlled drones make more sense than manned fighters: they can pull many more G‘s and you can build much smaller ships because you don‘t need to house the fragile human. Esp. in space where speeds can become ridiculous and no human can hit anything without a supercomputer doing the targeting and trigger pulling for the human anyway AI control makes much more sense.
