#3, pretty cool

Like I said, I knew I was tempting fate soloing the Carrack but had been having fun and didn't expect to be out long enough to see if any TESTies wanted to come along (a mistake I will not make again). I suspect the whole thing is related to some physics assumptions built into mining but I...

Last night I was ambushed in my Carrack by a Gladius and a Mole. While I was occupied manuevering to keep the Gladius from being able to touch down on the top deck the Mole attacked me with the primary mining laser and disabled the engines in I believe less than 30 seconds. It appeared that...

@Blind Owl glad you are home bro! You are welcome aboard my ships anytime - real family first, TEST family second. CIG is getting better at ship design with each new one they complete and the wait was definitely worth it for Carrack. It isn't perfect but for me it holds all the promise the...

@SoloFlyer I have soloed my Carrack but must admit it can be nervewracking - really gotta keep an eye on surroundings when landed in port or planetside, LOTS of hideyholes for would-be ship-jackers and jackholes alike. Sounds like it is also still possible to glitch-force in past the airlock...

I originally also was like, why doesn't this damned elevator go to the ground - BUT, considering the access that elevator has to the entirety of the ship (especially the EVA storage and armories) I am not as sure now - but the ramp makes me nervous every time I open it because you can't...

The gibbening, has happened, the Carrack is here, and we are, now, living the dream. I cannot say enough about how much the Carrack has met, if not exceeded, my expectations. While I was not a fan of the first looks we had at the redesign after the aesthetically near perfection of the concept...

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ As we get to a point where we can make changes it will happen. 'Gimp

Having had access to her for a while now and played around with some exploratory flights I offer the following: The crew cabin is a lot of wasted space IF you consider a true combat vessel with large crew requirements - in a US Navy ship that same space could bunk twice as many, maybe 3 times -...

I think I will slowly collect all variants of Cyclone except for racer - I can see dedicating one of the cargo bays as an additional garage\supply locker - especially if they will hold something like a Ballista - ultimately I want to grab the mil and tour versions of the Ranger bike when they...

I could not trust the Yellowjacket to stay put, glitched all over the garage and ended up under one wheel of both the Cyclone and the Ursa, so I went and made some monies, bought a Cyclone TR and this will be my loadout until the Tumbril Ranger's drop and I will replace one of the Cyclone's with...

I think on the subject of manpower we would expect a ship like Carrack to have hotbunking for 2 or 3 operating crews probably. Consider that a US Navy Arleigh Burke class destroyer is similar in size (155m) and has a crew of about 300 with I believe 3 duty rotations. Realistically I think...

That is weird. I'm going to see what happens (or maybe has happened...lol) when I login over lunch. 'Gimp

I am thinking it 'might' be possible to shoehorn a Dragonfly into the Pisces bay depending on how you park the Pisces (although I forget how much 'flying' the Dragonfly can do - might not be practical when planetside. Also, I have been so disappointed with the Mustang redesign I melted my Delta...
