Is it just me, or does this mean that all the Quant ships are going to be at a huge disadvantage in a circle-jerk? (circle fight) Like, yawing-Tensy disadvantage...?

I thought that the new art guy knew about stuff like hitboxes being important to balance.

I guess I'll have to do my fighting in a Quant cargo ship.

Based on other game-feature info released so far, circle fighting may be obsolete.

Re: New Solrain Ship?
I don't think I could go Quant, just because I'd have to learn to re-aim (on the yaw axis).

Honestly the profiles I've seen have made a yawing intensity look great. And that's just scary.

Re: New Solrain Ship?
It all depends on how hitboxes are done. If every ship class has the same hitbox regardless of shape, it's a complete non-issue.

If they implemented it that way it would very much surprise me.

That would be really stupid of ND to give every ship the same hitbox....

Well, it would save Quantar from getting owned. Again.

Re: New Solrain Ship?
I just hope all the factional ships are not too similar. Similaries like rough, technical, organical, sleek, aggressive and so on design yes, but not things like all vertical orientated.

No more stupid than safe zones.

Re: New Solrain Ship?
while giving every ship the same hitbox might sound like balancing, i'd rather not fire my guns THROUGH another ships cockpit because it extends beyond the default hitbox.

I'd much rather them actually take the time to BALANCE the profiles. But we all know ND's previous difficulties with that.
