Aurora Army

[Tyronne]

So knowing that our official ship is the Aurora, and many of us have Auroras, I was curious if we were planning on doing "Aurora only" ops? There are two reasons this would be awesome:

1.) Well.... it's a giant fleet of JUST Auroras. Even the grandest of capital ships would feel fear.
2.) It would not evoke a superiority complex among our not-so-wealthy pilots (such as myself).

I know variety is the spice of life, and having a diverse fleet is awesome. But doing these Aurora only missions on occasion would not only make some people feel less inadequate about their ships, but would also give a chance for some of the Connie/MM/Idris/Cat/FL/Cutlass owners to dust off their Auroras, and join the brethren of TEST on exploration, cargo, and raiding missions! Let me know what you all think :)

P.S.: Here's a poll! Since I know the lack of them has caused an uproar.

I 'bought into' the game with an Avenger. If I don't also get an Aurora before launch, I will definitely make it the first 'next ship' I get in-game just for TEST purposes.

The thought of an entire armada of Auroras with TEST roundels emblazoned on the side just makes me giggle. If TEST didn't live up to that proclaimed level of tomfoolery within the game every once in a while, I will be disappoint.

I don't have an aurora. I gave it to my friend. That being said, we need to put those goony casuals to shame :V

Aurora only fleets would be awesome. Think of it as a big marketing campaing for TEST. Like the Coca Cola truck at Chistmas:

A fleet of twinkling Auroras make their wair across a snowy spacy landscape and lighting up the countryside space between the stations.

Happiness!

Can I crew someones aurora?

There's room in my sleeping quarters ;)

Otherwise, I'll have to speak with my mechanic about attaching a Class 5 turret to the bottom of the ship for you. Landing is overrated anyway!

I should have made it a public vote! Darn....

 

[HechtorDravere]

Keep this classified information to yourself. Divulging TEST war exercises will be treated as treason and met with death by bunny.

X up!

 

[starkestrel]

Yeah, my problem is that the poll is missing the third option:

• Of course. This isn't Imperium.

 

[BluChew]

X up!

No need to X up, here at TEST, we've just release our prototype Spai Detector. We're still working out the bugs.

- Tell me, what do you do with spais?
- Burn them!
- And what do you burn, apart from spais?
- More spais!

 

[Barthanes]

OH OH OH! SPAIS are why we have a TEST commissar/guidance counselor ! I don't have to just spout random human superiority propaganda and prayers to the EMPRAH! Death by TEST commissar/guidance counselor is best way to get rid of SPAIS!

"According to this book..... You are a SPAI"

 

[Corwin]

I don't have an aurora anymore but this needs to happen. Also, this SPAI detector is brilliant! Props to whoever came up with it!

So according to this poll, two people have signed on for TEST to use their larger ships as targets for our ramming practice!

Why not use the more massive ships for anti-ship ramming?
