I stuck with the Polaris because it is a bit more multi-role and has more offensive capabilities against big stuff. That being said, the Hammerhead is a damn nice ship and will be critical to fleet doctrine when the game comes out. Either way you can't go wrong showing up in either ship to...

With the Polaris you could tell which serial number you were by looking at the url. I'm sure somebody with a better memory will swing by and explain this better if its applicable to the Eclipse sale. In the Shipshape today one of the lead designers mentioned the words "negative space" in the...

I am not quite sure how we can defend these things en route to destination. Despite owning one of these ships, I can't just ignore the problem. They are huge floating targets, with little to no turret coverage on the belly side as far as I can see. I hope that screening vessels can knock out...

Shields may not be a mistake. Armor values will be far different depending on model of ship. Terrapin is a good example of smaller shields to lower signature and have more power to put towards scanning when it does go active on scanning. Edit- just to be clear- Terrapin is a good example as it...

305 last I saw a moment ago. I did my part- have a new Pioneer ready for action!* *When it is actually released. Ownership does not guarantee competence. If by some miracle the ship actually gets somewhere useful and lands the correct way up, due to "Space Union Workers Outpost Act" the outpost...

We all do. I love the C&C / Red Alert worlds. Hell, I ran a Renegade server and learned how to host trying to run it. RA1 I played in their Westwood Online tornies. When Westwood was bought by EA I was all like "meh, hopefully they will get better servers and they would be stupid to break up...

Maynard above is correct - it is more about how much bandwith is needed between the game and the server, and how much latency you have to said server. More locally stored assets is moar better... save for the values for money/exp etc... Heck, as long as they dont have 4 multi-GB patches in a...

Shadow, I inclined to agree with you on most of it. However, I see ships that are variants and/or featuring upgrades over the stock ship to be the ones they want to limit. Even if the components are not that good compared to the best options having a free fully fit ship with lifetime insurance...

It appears so. Also, keep in mind that packs like that which have a Cyclone model you don't like can be upgraded to other cyclone models.
