My prediction is Valakkar attacks are too heavy to resist with armor, and Fried Chicken is therefore dressed WAY too heavy for the required dodge, but we’ll see. View: https://youtu.be/HKJxvi2RaTo?si=_iAKRVPGYgixer02

I thought we frowned upon potential in our members?

Yes, it depends upon the jump. I think though what we’ll see are Idris P and K make long jumps and arrive close enough to their targets to launch strike groups, but not close enough to be sensed. Just seems a good precaution, and one more reason I support stealth strike groups of Liberators...

My bad. You are correct. What I took as a fixed S4 drive in the Polaris is an S3, and indeed can be fitted with a faster drive. The S4 in the 890 is faster still and the S4 in the Idris is way faster. So the rule that bigger is faster is indeed intact. Makes one wonder what they’ll do with the...

I was mindlessly meandering Q Drive specs, because I am that kind of nerd; and noted again that larger Q drives go faster in general. Efficiency of drives is harder to track than ever. I dunno why CIG complicated this by taking out the raw numbers we used to use. While so meandering I noted the...

Note the limited speed of the TAC was a problem more than once, and the inability to point the rear turret forward took it out of the fight. Odd to say, but the Carrack would have performed much better here. View: https://youtu.be/D2srxdPLlh8?si=fRGsNvMFwO_59LsO

We all know Han shot first. Now drink for that infraction. Drink I say!

You’re most welcome. BlindOwl is draining the tap off into his wheeled bathtub again. Someone get hold of him. Public Service Announcement: beer is not for swimming! Please do not swim in the beer!

He makes some great points. Twice the Redeemer’s shielding, and the ability to effectively run the ship with just 2 players. . .both key insights. You can imagine 6 players flying 3 Paladins w/ 12S5 and 12S4 guns between them. Makes one wonder whether the Perseus will be worth the crew. View...

TCS-4 black, Aril Quicksilver core, pack and helmet, Lumin V w/3X, light and suppressor, 6 batteries, multi tool, Curelife, FSK8, 2 grenades Very fast w/ good carry but needs concealment, cover and constant motion to evade; and memorize CureLife colors. Drop pack to FSK8. (CIG does not list...

So far as I am aware, all of the Vanduul designs are based around ramming. To do that you need to power the shields, which in their case means you are not using stealth. Vanduul designs run hot, and are not well suited to stealth, though they can be equipped for limited sneaking. My fear is...

The main trouble I see with the Esperia designs is you can’t change out the weapons. The Vanduul plasma cannons are designed to overheat the target while they shred which is pretty fun, but no options for designing your ride save putting a stealth reactor in. That means no shields so no ramming...

Word is there will be an Esperia release soon of this heavy fighter. Conjectures contradict one another but it is a heavy fighter with 1S5 pilot gun, 2S2 turret and 2S5 missile launchers, intended for a crew of 3 and built for ramming. Pics are of a beautiful heavy fighter and the unusual thing...
