IMHO once it's released, with the multicrew gameplay coming and being expanded upon, starting in 3.23, the desirability for the Polaris will go down. Hype is great, but once it is actually in game, warts and all, and limitations on running short handed becomes as painful as it appears CIG wants...

Right. I'm not saying the ship is complete. Though I would hope it is complete by now, but that the bits and parts, the corridor pieces, the components, the doors, etc. should be done enough so that the props from the Bengal can be used for the Polaris, Galaxy, and Peersesus in the usual kit...

My point, poorly expressed, is they should have most of the kit parts needed for the large RSI ships.

Oh, I'm not saying that Stanton is complete, by any means. Pyro seems to have plenty of opportunity for fuel stops, like Stanton, making it viable for small craft, which it isn't supposed to have. It is fairly inhabited, which it isn't supposed to be.

It's integral to SQ42.

One would think most of those blocks come from the Bengal and possibly the Pegasus.

That would be the Anvil Valkyrie Liberator. They are both Anvil. Otherwise, yes. It appears they have retconned a good deal about what they told us about Pyro. It is supposed to be mostly uninhabited/uninhabitable with no resources and a brutally dangerous star. A place that is inhabited only...

I've managed to get three of the phase 3 done, but that's it. I don't know why, but my F7C Mk2 seems to be more robust than my Vanguard Warden (or my loaner F7CM Mk1). I'm not saying it definitely is, or that it should be, but it feels that way.

They haven't specified how much time. My guess is it is not going to be a trivial amount of time or expense but that is a guess, and things might change again. No, I don't remember which video I heard that changing modules is going to be at a shipyard or custom shop.

The only issue I have with the Vanguard modules, and other modules for that matter, it appears that a battlefield swap has been rethought and swapping modules requires time at a custom shop (Cousin Crows equivalent) or shipyard for the swap. That is rather disappointing in my mind.

I have a Sentinel BUK in my hangar and a Warden BUK in my buy backs. They are supposed to be called "combination packs" in the future.

Peltz, if he gets both seats he is after, will have a voice but will still be a minority on the 12 person board. Will it be enough? Maybe, but probably not. What is more likely to have a major impact is the Florida criminal investigation. Based on the Independent Audit Disney management and...

I'm digging the new Raptor. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19819-MISC-Raptor

Most of the issues, like you're describing, have been fixed, only to have them break in the very next build. That isn't, necessarily, a code base issue, but, more likely, an issue with build discipline.
