DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hello. as a total newbie in the game I need a long term objective. My question is: Is a pilot controlled battleship with a large amount of turrets possible or does every turret another player controller as in Star Citizen? So do you need a crew for the large combat ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 So I'm out. Back to the MMO Eve Online where I can fly a Titan solo Its a real pity - I was so optimistic that this will be my next game ;( I was hoping for automated turrets.

blundertwink Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, DocOrange said: So I'm out. Back to the MMO Eve Online where I can fly a Titan solo Yep. Don't blame ya...especially since operating a turret has no game to it. Not like you actually aim...it's just occupying space to occupy space. People complain about there not being enough PvP all the time...but it's so damn boring. "Mining simulator" is bad...but I'm especially not interested in "sitting in a chair" simulator.

DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Only to be shure and not leaving because of a misunderstanding. There is no LUA or whatever possibility to mount - lets say 10 or 100 turrets on a ship and give a command to auto fire all weapons to an opponent? You have to control each single weapon with a real player and the player aims and fires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 I found exactly this in the following video. So there must be a way to do this. Solo Ship with 3 guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click enemy to autoaim and click again to fire weapons. Thats it. Can't fly a battleship with 100 guns solo, you need a Crew to repair too. 9 minutes ago, DocOrange said: I found exactly this in the following video. So there must be a way to do this. Solo Ship with 3 guns Afaik 3 guns is max for Solo. If you can actually do more then im pretty sure it will be nerfed. NQ always wanted this to be a group effort and not a solo game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm really sorry about this. Even Star Citizen will have a NPC crew or computerblades - when its done in 10+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you need a crew for the large combat ships? Currently there is a way to exploit a NQ louse end and control both piloting and 1 combat seat. But it involves allot of lua, lowers game performance and is very likely to be "fixed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocOrange Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 How many guns can one combat seat handle? Only one gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one gun? nope, depends on weapon and talents. no talents + most expensive weapon = 2 weapons but with talents you can go with 5 or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make it run then it would be worth checking out before you spend months building a battle ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceRub Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If your ticket into DU is PVP, it's a hard skip for now. Wait until the pvp overhaul, or just prep for it. Solo battleships won't be a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelcro Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The problem is not that each weapon system requires a separate gunner usually. The problem is there is nobody to sit in all the chairs. If you are looking for pvp regardless though I would give DU a hard pass. The game is just not designed to make that fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyZoILLz Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There is a Work Around. I Think.. The Location you are in when you enter and exit the pilot seat is usually in the same position, In space, less worry about Gravity, U can have your Gunner seats close to your Pilot seat, and while in space, switch seats Midflight or Fight... Im hypothesizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
