A killing machine.

With 3.18 Ares Inferno be like: Fear Me 🤣

[@cpt.tombstone]

I was hoping to get to the part where I can test the ballistic changes in 3.18 against a hammerhead, but I wasn't lucky in this case :D. In another session, I got to the Hammerhead part, and it was a massacre, the Hammerhead exploded in less then 30 seconds.

​@@cpt.tombstone Is it getting a buff in 3.18?

[@cpt.tombstone]

@@armankiarmankii it got a buff in 3.18, yest, but we are at 3.19 at the moment, probably 3.19.1 next week :D

@@cpt.tombstone ahh i see, i haven't been catching up on Star Citizen as of late. Are the Ares any good now?

[@cpt.tombstone]

@@armankiarmankiiWell, it's good for it's intended role, I'd say it's a bit sluggish to turn still (worse than the MSR, a ship 5x the Ares' mass). You can handle small fighters harassing you with the missiles well enough, and anything larger than a Connie is made quick work by the Gatling gun. With ballistics penetrating shields now, every landed hit chips away at the target's health. However, the ship is still not 100% there until physicalized damage is implemented on most ships. Once that's in, the Inferno will be able to disable ships much more easily, as it's rounds are supposed to penetrate through even a hammerhead's armor, and hit vital components such as power relays, coolers, power plants and so on. I hope the gun gets an accuracy tuning as well at some point too, as the spread is huge at the moment, so precision striking a component would be nigh impossible with the current spread model.

This Game :D "or should i say techdemo"

[@cpt.tombstone]

Well, it's an alpha :D And later I found out that there was actually an enemy somewhere out of radar range, hiding, so the game may not have broken in that moment,

[@suboptimal4539]

The way they seem to market it as a game isn’t accurate, they need to correct that

[@nabihlakkis562]

What did you mean?

[@cpt.tombstone]

They market it as a game in-development, currently in testing, I say that's accurate.
