EVERY TIME like, enemy ships HUG freighters, they can fly right through them half the time. It feels pretty darn unreasonable to expect us to never touch freighters or cargo pods. I’m trying hard not to but somehow even when I’m not pointing towards them I hit something and have sentinels come at me.

After using primarily fighters for hundreds upon hundreds of hours of my main save, I had finally found an Explorer that I knew had to be my new main. Helped that a natural S-Class just kinda fell into my lap. Transferred all my tech and cargo over, but decided to ditch the positron and phase beam in favour of just a dual-weapon loadout with infraknife and rockets (my fav combo anyway).

After optimizing the layouts with the given SC slots, I was resigned to the overall damage potential being 20% that of my fighter, and the infraknife achieving only 50% of the DPS. I thought I’d give it a try anyway.

Holy shit.

In the next pirate freighter encounter, I finished off the freighter in half the time. I was still skeptical, so I took on a host of combat missions, including solo pirate missions from the Nexus, sentinel freighter battles, and various random encounters. The results were all the same – the Explorer eviscerated enemies with a terrifying efficiency and brutality that my maxed-out S-class fighters could only dream of.

I had read similar stories of such performances, but hadn’t experienced it first hand. But now I know and I can hardly go back to my fighters.

Now if they can only fix that bug so both of my outboard engines are lit up.

If this update is symbolic of the 5 year anniversary and the progress the game has made since then, I think we all know more-or-less that Sean would put out an incomplete release over his cold, dead body.

Not again. Never again.

Especially given the symbolic nature of this update, turning the ship around big time, just keeping quiet and working until the update is ready for release would, I think, be the main takeaway from 2016.

It’s the most simple answer. Just has no intention of rushing out something that is not done (as opposed to waiting for some magic date or event).
