Maybe it's because I had an absolutely terrible time with the event earlier today, but I just didn't like this ad. And I usually do like Star Citizen ads.

Ah, well I suppose it depends on what you're after and what your strategy is. If you're playing the CCU game, you don't want to waste a nicely discounted chain on a ship that you end up not liking. But I suppose you could always have like $400 in store credits you use to always get the latest...

I think @Thalstan and @Daak Gelrin bring up a good point. CIG likes to always present the latest and greatest to drive up the sales, and then nerf them later to balance them. It's not about "if" it gets nerfed, it's about "when" it gets nerfed, most likely within the next 6 months. So I'd grab...

Hmm, those are good points. I'd still want that cross section reduction to be more tho, but it could work. Really? spviewer is saying the lowest you could go is 2.2

In theory you can get it down to 4km detection range, which would be cool for smuggling past a blockade I guess. That requires you to keep your nose towards the blockading ships though. You have a 10km vector agnostic detection range, which is kinda... meh. The cross section just absolutely...

Tidris? TSS Ardent Lord? TSS Drunken Matelot? TSS Dominable? TSS Penniless? I can keep guessing all day! But I choose not to.

On PvE side of things, the turrets are in a pretty great spot right now. I was just doing bounties earlier with my F7A MK II, and while I'm obviously not going to lose to a bunch of NPCs, when the server FPS is good even just an NPC Cutlass Black with its modest dual S3 turret is plenty of...

Well, it's not that it fits 'just' Nova. Nova is a pretty huge vehicle, so obviously all smaller vehicles and ships will fit as well. Like Drake Golem, Misc Razor, someone even claims they got an Aurora in there. It's a quite capable pocket carrier able to carry some small ships, not just snubs...

I can confirm, you can get Hunt the Polaris reward just for accepting the mission and then let someone else take care of it. You're not getting the 2 mil tho. But you're also not getting the 2 mil if you actively participate the missions, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Pretty fun event to do tho, highly...

Added some questimations about the currently for-sale concept ships, how likely it is we'll see them before/at Intergalactic Aerospace Expo this year and then just some vague guesses about how much the flight ready bump might be. (It's usually something like 10% rounded down quite liberally for...

2x S5 guns or 4x S4 guns. Hm. Tough choice. Depending on how armor gets implemented, two S5 guns might even be more desirable for punching up.

Oh wow, today is a great chance to grab a Perseus with Warbond discount before the flight ready price bump. Now the flight ready price bumps can be somewhat unpredictable, but Perseus' big brother, Polaris, went from $750 to $975. I'd imagine Perseus has a more tame flight ready price bump...

With blades, I'm only upset about how absolutely useless they are. You get 1 deg/s in every direction with the handling blade while sacrificing some speed. Alternatively you get a tiny bit of more speed by sacrificing 1 deg/s in every direction. You need a stopwatch to notice any difference from...

Well, $15 off the price of a Taurus, a $200 ship is pretty good, that's normal. It's usually like a bit under 10% of the price of the ship, rounded down to closest number divisible by 5. Though it certainly seems like they're deliberately aiming for such gaps that you'll have to spend $10 new...
