You know, I probably shouldn't be complaining since I'm training up to fly a Pilgrim now which is basically the same thing, heh.

Oh and where is my question addressed? Page xx? Sorry I didn't bother to read all 1,000 posts in this thread, I read the first page and didn't see this mentioned so I decided to ask.

Why are you such a douche bag, trying to compensate for something?

Fixed for you.

[Squeakster]

? I don't even know what to say.

[Rotanee]

It doesn't hurt to ask if you at least show some respect for other people's time and a willingness to put in a little effort on your own to find the answer first. Especially if the answer is apparent.

I think you will find if you have been following this thread at all your quesiton is addressed in the last 10 to 20 pages.

[Squeakster]

My apologies then Rotanee, and thank you to everyone who answered my question.

[Manticore]

got a question regarding the new patch, what will be the new purpose of nano stabs when its only purpose will be mass reduction? will it still be good to fit for industrials/haulers or better get inerta stabs instead for faster aligning?
and how do cargo expanders + mass reduction modules stack? (as in how is the calculation regarding the mass done)

[Fog]

The effects of agility:

• Ship accelerates and decelerates faster.
• Ship turns faster
• Because of point #2, the ship can hold a closer orbit at a higher speed, which is frequently useful.

The effects of mass:

• Reducing mass by 1% will result in all the same things as increasing agility by 1%.
• Modules like afterburners and MWDs which apply thrust to your ship will speed you up more.
• However, mass is stacking penalized; agility is not. So if you are already decreasing your mass with rigs or modules, increasing agility will get you more "maneuverability" bang for your buck.

So inertial stabilizers, which just increase agility post-patch, probably won't be getting a whole lot of use (but they may well be cheaper, meaning that ships which only care about agility and don't fit MWD will want to use them.) Nanofibers, which decrease mass, will be popular among interceptor pilots - flying an interceptor, you will probably want a mix of overdrive injectors for raw speed and nanofibers for MWD speed and tighter orbits. Overdrives will be attractive for increasing speed on ships that have a fast natural velocity or want to be fast without using MWD.

[Sancus]

New nanofibers largely suck, because the mass reduction rigs are better, and they're stacking penalized together, so what you really want is mass reduction rigs and overdrives in your lows for speed. Ofc not everyone can afford to rig up their interceptor.

[Fog]

Right - I personally don't feel that my skill level (either SP or player skill) warrants flying an expensive rigged out factioned out interceptor yet, so I will probably leave the rigs off and fly with nano+overdrive in my lows. Anyone with rigs will prefer overdrives in their lows.

[Nako Mistako]

Not entirely happy about the richies flying expensive ceptors having even more advantages over the average pilot. Tricked out ceptors with implants are already ridiculously hard to catch, let alone kill. Hopefully the fix to logoffski in bubbles will include pods, in which case things get more interesting for actually including some risk to idiots running around with snakes. One can only hope that a new exploit doesn't replace it.

[Mist]

Wait, which do you use on interceptors now?

Interceptors are pleanty easy to kill for a dedicated pilot. Hint: Where one webber isnt enough, bring 5.

[Fog]

OK, but that's predicated on the interceptor pilot screwing up and getting into web range (of 5 different webs, no less.)
