Welp. I added that small fighter and land vehicle. Have to resist the temptation to change the Titan into a larger industry ship.

Well yes. I suspect there are going to be a lot of disappointed people when they realise that even a medium size ship will benefit from having a crew of 3 to 4 people. I can see even the Vanguards benefiting from having a gunner and engineer in addition to the pilot. As soon as components can be...

Personally I'd keep the MIS, bin SH, bin Sabre. Use the money to buy an Eclipse/Apollo or two industry ships like say a Vulture and a Vulcan or Prospector

This has changed quite a lot since the last time I updated my fleet. Really want a Ranger as well. I might get another fighter/small industry ship also. Think I need a rover also but only the Polaris (maybe) and the Star Runner will take one. I don't like having large ships generally. So the...

Wow not enough drunken weaving or Auroras though.

This has nothing to do with SC. Small staged low rate production runs and the concept of concurrency have inflated the cost of the F35. But that one engine creates an incredible amount of thrust. All that aircraft has to do is offer the same exact same capability of an F16/F18 in terms of range...

The Valkyrie seems very cool. But I can't really justify a ship just so I can reverse a Cyclone (that I'd also need to buy!) out of in flight.

A terrapin, a hawk and a Xmas present for someone. So I guess £260ish? Should really work it out properly

I did this prospector for solo mining. Aquilia for cargo/exploring where I need transport. I think a terrapin is a good addition to that as well so you can find mining locations and locations to explore. Then come back with the prospector or Aquilia. Also I'm thinking the aquilia in theory can...

Added a terrapin. I sort of am considering melting my cutlass and aquila for a Carrack. But I only really want one huge ship everything else needs to be sololoable and be able to generate money and I already have a Polaris to be my hanger queen.

Cheap with lti else not sure. Recently swapped an avenger for a cutlass wanted a freelancer Explorer but didn't have enough credit. Plus have an aquila anyway. Wouldn't mind a gladius or vanguard.

I think this is actually the only way an Idris, Polaris or Jav could sustain say a squadron of smaller ships. If it can't jump with you then the cap ship is stuck with a patrol of 3 ships or in the case of the Polaris and Jav 1. At least this way you could refuel and rearm the smaller vessels...

+1 prospector

Honestly the thing I care about in the engine is the Vulkan renderer. I want that in and working to a reasonable state. By the sounds of it CIG is doing a lot of in house developement. CryEngines source is now open and with all the ex Crytek employees at CIG then if the Vulkan renderer makes it...

The bottom turret is missing on the Taurus I don't think thats a good 'look' for a drop ship supporting ground troops as they disembark. Plus I suspect it'll be noisy and lit up like a xmas tree going in.
