Prospero Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What ships will be available in the dogfighter do you think? I've spent some time thinking about it, and it seems safe to say that all the one man fighters will be there. The larger multi-man ships seem not so likely. The Constellation and Freelancer I'd guess not, but how about the Cutlass? Or even the Superhornet? Will CR limit it to only 1 man ships for ease of use on the multiplayer 'back-end' referenced as the reason behind the DFM's delay? My thought is this exactly, that only single man ships will be dogfighterable at the start, possibly to be patched down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danredda Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My guess is due to delays b/c of the backend, they may have the hornet as well as the aurora and maybe the 300i ready now for launch (damage states, etc.). I will probably use all of them, but primarily my SH so I can get used to it. Once Connie+ get in though, nothing except those as I plan on flying big ships more than fighters in the PU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnaught Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It makes sense that CIG would focus on releasing the smaller single seat ships initially, but saying that they have previously finished the initial pledge ships first so there could be the possibility of including the Freelancer and Connie. I'm assuming you can fly these ships with one person anyway, just not to their full capacity. CIG could then introduce either AI or Human crew at a later date. Personally I'll be bummed if I cant take my Connie out for a spin, and I'd also really love to use my Superhornet in a dogfight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredworth Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's what I think as well - start small, maybe with a single type of ship for all, independent from what you ordered, and then gradually move on to more complex ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisdumb Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was torn between the 315p and the 325a because I want to explore initially, but I figured the dogfighting module would be more fun if I had the 325a. Hopefully I can use the full loadout on the 325a when the dogfighting launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 first thing is, learn how to make credits in game, after you got your income, start with pvp. I start with avenger look for small fast trading and bounty hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tel-kar (Fox Anderson) Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Any and all when they get released into the DFM. Just look at the ships that I have, and that is just some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 In the live stream dog fight video Chris Roberts said the dog fight module will start with the hornet for everyone. Then as other ships are built and added, if you own one, you'll get the temporary hornet replaced by your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if at DFM you can no longer melt down and trade ships, and I can't fly my Cutlass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 You will get a hornet until your Cutlass turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterDragon Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 From what I understand, if none of your pledged ships are ready when DFM comes out, CIG will "loan" you a hornet so that you can play/fly in the DFM. As soon as one of your ships gets released, that "loaned" hornet will be taken back cos you have your own ship to fly. Make sense?

Gargoyle Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hornet or Aurora I guess as they seem to be the default ships so far. My Hornet is the F7C-M version so not sure it'll be ready for a while, especially when you consider the present pilot view. Aurora LX may be there 350R, doubtful it will be in the DF module for a while Freelancer will be getting the variant treatment when they release them, so again will probably not make it into the module early on. Xi'an Scout (Quark) haven't even seen concept art of these yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPVance Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Can't wait!! Any ideas on the DM launch date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewMagoo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 By the time the DF module is released, I expect that at least the Aurora will be available in addition to the Hornet. I think the only other ship with a chance to also be in is the 300i. Can't wait!! Any ideas on the DM launch date? I am guessing middle to end of March, because I think Chris has set a high benchmark for internal testing, before they release it. I expect that the earliest it will release is the end of this month. This is a total WAG, since I have no additional info about progress and I am not in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebtCollector Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I guess I'll fly anything I can. Of course my Freelancer first, to get the hang of the controls and test the limits of what I can do with the ship (speed and turn-wise). I highly doubt there will be many Constellations flying around. Although if you gather a couple of friends and fly around in the ship, with a couple of other friends in smaller fighter ships, it could spawn some epic battles I'm sure.

Sandje Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Mjeh, i hope you will be able to fly all ships, even if you don't own one.. How else can you decide wether you want to upgrade your pledge ship to a more expensive version.. or buy an extra ship.. I would like to testdrive before i buy for real money..

KI_Ghost Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 cant wait to get in my 325a! I think it will be one of the first too, because its designed for one pilot. They are easier to implement. After the single-seat ships, they will focus on AI or want to get the the bigger ships into the DFM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
