Herald is a great little ship. Wish it had a bit more fuel. Cannot do much data running if you are hopping from gas station to gas station. The interior of the herald is one of my favorites. It feels real. No extra space, no smooth panels to hide all the wiring. Everything is packed in as tight as possible like we do today. Keep weight down so exiting atmo is possible. But real problem with the ship is that it has no range. So you can sneak in and steal data, but then you have to hope you can refuel at next station before you get caught. Or you will need a very large ship's hangar to park in and let that big ship do the traveling while you just hide in the hangar.
Palisade size one shields 70% - 98% of physical protection, FR-66 50% - 95% physical protection. I would say thats better. I agree in Atlas in size one's. The Herold is like the "Listening van in the street" :-)
Nice video thanks! I'm surprised that the data game loop isn't in game yet as it seems one of the easiest to implement... There are no huge assets or complexity, it seems far easier than salvaging for exemple...
Thanks! I'm sure its more complicated than we think, maybe and this is pure conjecture on my part, that they want more systems to make data running more in depth. Either way it is a game loop I'm looking forward to.
8:40 while you do get a tiny boost in DPS you lose gimbal. I think they need to increase the capacity of laser weapons when gimbals are removed. Just claim it takes capacitor power to move the gimbals. Right now with all laser repeaters with fixed weapons you get a paltry 488 DPS sustained. That takes into account constant fire and waiting for recharge. 1236 DPS burst. So one mag dump will get you that amount of DPS. But if you stick with gimbals you get 472 DPS sustained. 16 DPS is practically nothing. I would keep the gimbals so you get more shots on target. For burst you are losing about 150 DPS with the gimbal loadout, but that is your damage per second until you capacitor is empty. Fixed was important before capacitors. You got the increased DPS until you overheated your weapons which usually took longer than depleting your capacitor today. They need to give a reason to go fixed. Right now there is not really much reason. For laser weapons at least. For ballistics, go big. You do lose the gimbal ability but your DPS increase is massive in some situations. On s1 and s2 setups, not as big a difference. But 300 DPS more in this case with the bullets bypassing shields, that makes a difference. Especially since your DPS does not change until your belt is empty.
Steve,,, Another GREAT Info Video ...as we always expect from PIN.... is there any new on from CIG on RoadMap/Spectrum....about data running...(How,When,Dates).....Thanks Mate Ice Jager
With the changes that are coming for atmospheric flight in the future, the use of various ships that now use maneuvering thrusters may change bringing limitations in time hovering a location and counting more on it´s aerodinamic while in motion for sustained flight. The Herald with it´s tiny wings(like T-rex arms) may be the ship more reliable for use in space/low gravity moons where it will shine.
Honestly, this ship's abysmal QT range REALLY hurts this ship. It does QT like a fighter, but without the ability to reliably bounty hunt. And while the MSR is much pricier, it blows this thing out of the water in absolutely every respect. So everyone picks up the MSR, and no one ever picks this one. If they gave this ship a double QT tank, it could shine as a low end solution for both data running and courier roles. Right now, it kinda just sucks at everything.
Man, after a year of not playing I went back today...loading screens forever, when I finally got in, I was kicked from the game 3 times due to bugs within ten mins each time...I am sorry I gave money to this game.
Star Citizens Drake Herald a ship I feel will be excellent in its data running role. But what do you guys think? As always let me know down below!!
Shame there's not data running
It is my favorite ship for missions that you cant quantum directly to. You can hit absolutely stupid speeds in atmo which makes it great for them.

A Competition C drive will give you the best range. I have one in both my 325i and Pisces
I claim my Herald on arrival at August Dunlow. It's the quickest way to get out the atmosphere when my business at Orison is done.
Nice

This ship is so fun to fly in atmo not sure it it will be better than a msr but Def should be faster when we get master modes
Yep, master modes will definitely mix things up. I'm looking forward to it.
This is the best ship in the verse. Come at me!
I was thinking of putting one of these Heralds in a Polaris. I'm ambassador for my org. "The Celestial Turks" and will require one of these.
I think it could be useful.
Quality content on this channel!

I haven't seen anything recently, but I imagine its still a way off before we can run data.
Your ship tours are second to none. The Herald is a personal favourite. It will be great when data running is introduced.
Thankyou buddy, and yes I'm certain the herald will be awesome!

Yes good point, it will be good to see what direction CIG take this ship.
"Cornered by pirates" let's be honest, it's a Drake ship, so really it's more like "Cornered by authorities" 😉
Honor among thieves , I like it 👌 ha ha

I think the Gs are gonna be rough on pilots.
Fun fact: both engines are the same size.

But... there is no data running in the game yet.
Thanks genius
