To the Developers :
I have not in the last 5 years ( 2009 ava here) seen MA come up with such an unbalanced idea and I would like to understand whether i am missing something or not.
Here's what i basically understand from what has been told
1. The Equus quads will be having ul warp and ul thruster.
2. The top speed is 118.8 km/hr which is somewhat better then the L and the UL quads.
3. The 10 items/40kg is what it can hold . That makes sense as this is supposed to be a fast transport method.
4. Now this is the confusing part. When u say (cargo+cockpit) exceeds 100kg the top speed of Equus degrades. This means that the person ( 2 persons) cumulative weight should be < 100k along with cargo for the top speed to happen. Further if that total weight exceeds 150kg then the warping itself becomes disabled. For example i usually without any stackable carry around gear weighing 200kg+. This is without any stackable on me. For most it would be 150kg+ i would imagine when u add the weight of all the stuff like armor etc and some spare things.
If 4 is true, I dont get the brain at MA which came up with the bright idea of putting that low a limit on these. Basically renders them useless for people like me who would not mind putting peds for convenience, and i am not even talking about carrying stackables but this BS does not even let me carry the other stuff around.
Well maybe i am not the targeted demographic, but i am sure you must have thought who is. What i would like to know is whom is this targeted towards??
There are two kinds of people i can think of,
a.) Those wanting to do the cargo missions day and night risking the time and peds only to be at the mercy of the pirates and hoping to get away and actually make peds with this 50k+ investment
b.) the pirates that would hope to be able to catch the other travellers in hope of some loot. However guess what, after looted they cant warp either and will be slow in there travels too so i guess its not even conducive to that.
c.) People have said that those with money would not mind travelling at a premium cost, but i bet people who have money also have other items they carry alongwith. How many people would be ready to strip to there minimum just to be able to travel?
I refuse to believe that something like this could be just a money grab from MA's office as then there are easier ways to achieve that. So i would like some help in understanding what train of thought was followed while conceiving these quads.
Also if u plan to change the stats to make it actually feasible , it would make sense to do that before the first quad gets sold.

The Quad-Wing Equus luxury spacecraft sacrifices cargo space in exchange for rapid transport capability, and thus has lower cargo capacity than other Quad-Wing ships (10 items / 40kg). Also, the top speed of the Equus degrades if the total carried weight (cargo + cockpit) exceeds 100kg, while warp capability becomes disabled once the total carried weight exceeds 150kg.
