The non-warbond price is 175$, Sabre costs 170$ and the Taurus is 150$.
I kinda doubt stealth is going to be a big thing, unless CIG would go for a very different approach that would be long-distance engagements that rely on scanners etc. to get the enemy.
I'm already using stealth in the PU with the Ghost. You don't pop up on someone's radar or screen unless you're really close. It worked for the Sabre for a little while too back when it first came out, though it's much harder now. I find that it's much easier in the Ghost. The Avenger used to be pretty stealthy too, but I don't know if it still is.
still don't get it, since i can't buy the sabre normally either... something i am not seeing?
Sure, but what I was getting at is that once the Game reaches a phase where permanent progress can be made, the ranges for radar appearance will be relatively big even for "stealth ships". From a Balancing point of view, something deleting you before or immediately after appearing on your Radar is one of the things you can't put into a game like this.
The Sabre is Flight Ready, so it's highly unlikely to increase in price by the time it's on sale again... altough I did think the same of the Super Hornet.
Amen! Preach if brother Cold Fox Dude.
Being described as a 'glass cannon' makes me think that this would be a great weapon to use in tandem with a Harbinger against larger ships like a Polaris or Idris. It seems like you'd also want more dogfight-worthy escort like hornets and sabers just to keep the little guys from shooting you up your tail-pipes, though. Who knows, maybe a 'wing' can be structured for just this purpose.
