Almost as cool as Black Sunder

[Blind Owl]

Ok kids.
I'm on the cusp. Grand Admiral. It's right there.

I need to spend $40

What do I need to compete my fleet?

So, as I hate making describes, I want y'all to name ships that you think fill one of these rolls:
Privateer
Salvage
Exploration
Espionage
Smuggling
Bombing
Combat
Command and control
Solo play

Yup, I know. Covers the whole field.

So here's the help: I already have;
Exploration Mega pack:
Cutty Blue
Harbinger (with BUKs)
Reclaimer
BMM (want to CCU to a Carrack)
Redeemer
Caterpiller

Hurricane (with upgrade to defender)
Terrapin
Cyclone AA
DF's (two pack)
Nox's (two pack)
Cyclone base

Haha, #fixmyfleet. I'm going to bed now. I expect good things when I awake.

I love you all.
Owl.

Doesn't look like you need anything. If youre super keen to spend you could always get a cyclone and gift it to me, ill let you ride shotgun anytime and we can reap the whirlwind together :)

 

[CosmicTrader]

You need the Constellation Taurus.

 

[maynard]

when I suggested an Aurora it was on general principles

but now that I see you actually don't own one...

isn't the choice obvious?

the CL is the only available standalone model over $40

So, as I hate making describes, I want y'all to name ships that you think fill one of these rolls:
Privateer
Salvage
Exploration
Espionage
Smuggling
Bombing
Combat
Command and control
Solo play
.

Here is my small list of ships and which rolls they can fullfil in my opinion:
Freelancer
Privateer. (enough Cargo Room and weapon power)
Exploration (The Dur is prefitted for that) Put a Dragonfly in the back, and you're also ready for planetary stuff
Smuggling (Bonus unlike the Cutlass it hasn't written "Criminal inside" all over it)
Solo play (One of the bigger ship that you still can handle solo verry well)
Combat (Well, it's not a Hornet or something simillar, but it can defend itself...)
Bombing (The Mis has way to much Missles inside)
Have I mentioned that I'm 100% in love with the Dur + Dragonfly combo? No? I'm absolutly in love with this combo!

Terrapin:
Espionage
Command and Control
Solo play
The Terrapin was designed to do that....

Herald:
Espionage (Well, maybe not that sneaky when it's engine is online, but the E-war abilitys are decent.)
Smuggling (Well, not that much Cargo room, but very hard to catch.)

 

[Aleph0Null]

Where the Javelin?

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

You're getting Grand Admirable, not a ship. It will be a trophy piece, somthing you look upon in your hangar and say to yourself "Yep, I finally made it"...

So either an Aurora for the GLORY of TEST (don't forget who encouraged you to spend so much!), or a 300i will do very nicely with a big plus that it is so bad to fly right now you can melt it guilt free when you need to and put the credit toward a 600i.

Haha, I like your mind.

You need the Constellation Taurus.

Ya know, I've never been a huge fan of the Connie, but one cannot deny the utility of the Taurus.

You do have a very pertinent point Sir Maynard.

Smuggling (Well, not that much Cargo room, but very hard to catch.)

The DURp was my favorite ship in the verse for a very long time. I could almost be enticed into one again.

The Herald does fit the espionage bill though, haha.

You see my indecision. I love ALL the ships.

Where the Javelin?

I crashed it. Sorry. So sorry.

Haha, I like your thought process. "So bad you can melt it guilt free..." haha. Nice.

 

[Grimm_Reaper]

YOu need a scan proof cargo hull for smuggling. Go connie phoenix

I agree, @Blind Owl definitely needs an Aurora

[Black Sunder]

You'll never be almost as cool as Black Sunder @Blind Owl.

Congrats on almost Grand Admiral.

But seriously you have a nice collection of ships but you need some more solo/2 person stuff. Get a Cutlass Black.

Tow things.... Eclipse.... why no eclipse...

Ok, 3... why hurricane in a Banu defender?

Maybe Owl subscribes to the Imperial Truth and doesn't like alien ships?

 

[CptFjord]

Wait... I thought owning an Aurora was mandatory for being a member of TEST, along with a reckless disregard for ones own safety.

I see there is an overwhelming consensus towards one ship...

You'll never be almost as cool as Black Sunder @Blind Owl.

But seriously you have a nice collection of ships but you need some more solo/2 person stuff. Get a Cutlass Black.

Haha. I can only aspire my friend. And you're right, I do need more soloable ships. That's what I wanted to start with, but stuff and things happened.

Tow things.... Eclipse.... why no eclipse...

Ok, 3... why hurricane in a Banu defender?

The eclipse scared me. I couldn't see it. As for the hurricane/defender: the hurricane will be flyable before the defender. It just makes sense to have the hurricane, test it out, then upgrade it if it's not what I want.

Maybe Owl subscribes to the Imperial Truth and doesn't like alien ships?

Maybe. Just maybe.

Wait... I thought owning an Aurora was mandatory for being a member of TEST, along with a reckless disregard for ones own safety.

I've owned many auroras. They have a habit of becoming more. Or less, depending on your point of view.

 

[Thugari]

If your wanting solo starter, why not a prospector?
