Has there been any discussion on any new missile modules. Specifically dumbfire missiles for the fighter class. There have been alot of new weapons but no new missiles and the fighter class really needs them. Any good interceptor can avoid 80% of all self guiding missiles from the fighter class.
How does ping aware prediction work?
So… i picked up a DLC pack off Steam (Figured Star Conflict is actually a lot more fun now than it was… and wanted to ‘give back’ so-to-speak), and it had this in its description:
“Gold VIP” Permanent 10% bonus to loyalty gain and a 10% bonus to ships synergy gain- speed up the development of your ships!
Is this a bit out-dated now? given the new premium is now ‘time based’ rather than ‘account based’ ? Or is it a ‘hidden’ sort of bonus that you dont actually see at the end-of-map score screen and such?
NOT an angry post or anything… Just genuinely curious if someone needs to update that info on the steam store just in case it is out-dated :004j:
Questions incoming:
How is R9 Beta accelerator Gigas II balanced compared to SR mark 3?
How to interpret ‘each enemy marking you as their target’? Does this affect small turrets/rak turrets/anything non-ship as well?
Does R13 Neuroconnector WPN-F70 damagebuff reset after switching sectors(open space/multi phase PvE mission)?
Was the GS-hull for credits a mistake(bug) or a feature? If the latter applies will this happen again and/or maybe for the GS-scanner too?
Will there be a rebalance of the sector ‘transport hub’? The ‘escort the transport’ mission is incredible difficult to achieve for R7-R9 ships due mostly 1-2 predators in his way.
Were some of the designs influenced by the X-Series?
Will there be any more dual-mode weapons like the Phaser?
How are you all? How was your 2015? Any video of summing it up coming soon?
Edit: I just found the video about 2015 so that question is answered.
Why was the black-hole generator removed?
Why is the collection of materials so vague and difficult to figure out? (Many have been asking this in chat today, with the coming of the destroyers and a ship needing resources at rank 8, it has exposed a lot of newer players to the idea)
I just thought of: Will you guys make this game work on PS4 with cross platform server and such stuff like War Thunder?
Items appearing in various locations in team battle (hull repair, atk boost etc.) arent showing up in new maps (leviathan catacombs etc.) are you planning to modify them?
Will there be an aimhelp for laserweapons and/or static objects? Because aiming with those/at those is a bit unhandy due the pointdamage especially over large distances.
Does the R14 implants get resetted with switching stages(in PvE for example from stage 1 to 2) or in Open space with switching sectors?
How does the chosen Dot in the lootingscreen affect the loot given? (Not talking about the purple dots)
→ No effect and it’s just generating randomly the reward from a table
→ On the field is 1(or more) kits/better loot available and hitting the right place, where it’s ‘spawn’ give it like is with the purple one
Or even a third category of this lootingsystem??? Some explanation to this would help. o.o

Yes, R14 implants reset every time you spawn. You can test it yourself, if you like.
It does not functionally matter if loot is randomly generated at pickup time or at game end, or even at match start, so there’s no point in asking. Random doesn’t vary with time.
The number of available ships is growing… new secret projects, destroyers and more to come.
More ships means more modules and weapons. Being able to react on enemy tactics means
I need to have more modules in storage. I really would welcome more storage space.
When will the maximum storage space be increased ?
When will you hand out the rewards to the old beta players, when it comes to ranking system of all 3 factions in the ship’s tree?
Free stuff, you know… for no effort other than just ranking, but only for a new players. Old ones got forgotten and thrown away.
So far, only the new ones get it, which is completely unfair, especially if you count the support of the old playerbase, which made such game possible to grow and evolve.
