Another of Owl's redundant threads.

[Blind Owl]

So, if you had a Polaris, a Raven, and a Mercury Star Runner, which 2 of these ships would you like to compliment your fleet, and why?

Been a while since I've had a good indecision thread, haha.

My choices are:
Carrack
Vulture
Redeemer
Harbinger (with Sentinel BUK)

Yes, I know everything depends on my play style, etc, but I'm just curious to hear some thoughts.

I sold it all and started from scratch. It's what was best for my family, and honestly, I want to feel that sense of accomplishment when I earn new ships. I want something to work towards. I am no longer concierge, early backer, I have no perks or awards. Naadaa.

New Owl is new.

Thanks for all the input ladies and gentlemen.

 

[maynard]

first!

also, theorycrafting at this early stage is an exercise in futility so imma just shitpost instead

Hahaha, thank you Maynard, you never fail me. I got almost the exact reaction from you that I had anticipated, haha.

 

[CosmicTrader]

I couldn't select the Carrack twice...............

 

[Wolfy]

Mercury.

 

[Beerjerker]

Redeemer because while I have forgotten all about it, I don't want everyone to, so I will be able to one day hitch a ride in it.
And Vulture because it's named after a bird.

 

[Tealwraith]

Redeemer cuz dropships are way cool and Carrack cuz, uh, Carrack.

 

[Blind Owl]

Haha, I love you guys.

 

[Zookajoe]

I chose the Carrack, because it is an exploration ship that can be used as a merchant ship, and is named after a 15th century merchant ship that was used for exploration.

 

[marcsand2]

So, if you had a Polaris, a Raven, and a Mercury Star Runner

A small capital for torpedo runs.
An EMP fighter.
A data runner with transport capabilities.

The Carrack for exploration.
The Harbinger for torpedo and electronic warfare, even some fighter capabilities.

I opt out boarding actions and gunship.

 

[Talonsbane]

While I selected Carrack, I'm surprised that Beerfarer isn't listed as an option, because exploring the Verse will surely cause you to work up a thirst & knowing you, at least 1 of those "fuel tanks" will be @Blind Owl fuel of the alcohol based variety.

I'll have to second this ^^ :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Aurora LX for that sweeeeeet leather seat.

 

[Sraika]

carrack and vulture would give you the most well rounded fleet
the sentinel is one of my favourite ships tho

 

[Kenlee]

Carrack/Vulture! Your Polaris is basically a Redeemer on massive steroids and your Raven can handle the same situational EMP troll as the Harbinger.

 

[Talonsbane]

Wait, @Blind Owl does this mean that you're also selling off your Raven?

 

[Carlos Spicyweiner]

I picked the Carrack and the Redeemer. Carlos Spicyweiner is an industrialist and entrepreneur (yes, I had to google that), because I suck at combat. I think an explorer the size and capability of the Carrack will afford you the opportunity to earn a healthy supplemental income while you ply your main trade with your considerable mercenary fleet(including that Redeemer). If salvage is going to be anything like mining with the prospector, it's not going to be very profitable at all, just a good starter ship for someone who REALLY wants to be in the salvage business

 

[SoloFlyer]

Of the choices I would go Carrack/Vulture. I'm definitely going to pick up a vulture at some point. I like the idea of the Carrack but I already have a Constellation Aquila. They perform similar functions don't they, so both would be redundant?

 

[marcsand2]

does this mean that you're also selling off your Raven?

Impossible, unless you sell your account :wink:

 

[Blind Owl]

Impossible, unless you sell your account :wink:

Exactly this, haha.

So development lads and lasses:

I sold my entire account. The question of what ships would suit my fleet is a moot one, as I now have two ships, and two ships only, haha.

Thanks for all the input folks.
