2.6 Aurora LN is probably the best starter ship.

Just thought I'd mention - helped moonshiner out tonight with the old pirate swarm. He chose a vanguard, I decided to be a REAL test member and chose Aurora LN. We both got our caterpillar skins - just sayin' :smile:
Are you sure you got them because that was supposed to end 2 weeks after 2.6 went live. If you got them though then awesome.

I've been aurauraless for a while thought I'd pick one up to try in 2.6 see what they've done with the hull and shields.

Hey it's a great starter ship - you can fit a big store box to haul some cargo (soon), it's got 2 x S2 2 x S1 guns all nice and close(ish) together and its got a size 4 (?!!!) missile launcher so you can either mini torpedo with a S4 missile (hahaha bye bye connie) or you can do what I do and run 2 x S3 missiles only the bigger ships can survive a hit and even then they can be in trouble from it. or if fighting smaller ships you can fit 4 x S2 missiles which are great for damaging small-medium fighters etc.

I am impressed! I got to Wave10 on vandul swarm without my favourite S3 missiles, gonna try again with my s3s and see if I can make wave 15.

Compared to the avenger which has had its manoeuvrability nerfed - it's competitive now especially when you consider you can put whatever guns and missiles, you want on the aurora whereas the avenger is very inflexible with the unmovable tigershreik and only a pair of s2 missiles.


yeah she good i was the mr like 1 day put more 5$ to ln its a lot better

NOOOOOOOOOOO it is as I suspected. No more Size 4 missiles. The aurora LN was too powerful for its size and class :(

This is from CIG schedule for 2.6.1

Ships
  • All Auroras can now equip a Size 2 missile rack

Hey Mike, if the other posters reason for everything suddenly stops working isn't the cause, it may be what was doing it to me, I was accidently turning off flight assist during combat and experienced the same issues you listed, try turning FA on and off to restart it see if that is the reason
I was on hiatus from the game for a bit, but the reason it was doing it was the aftermarket coolers or power plants I put in there. Stock version is running fine and dandy, minus the usual buggy delightfulness that is the Aurora. Thanks for the info. If I run into any future issues, I'll check that out.
