The forums are a great spot to come and talk with like minded folks in a manner that, as mentioned in other posts, isn't slammed by a ton of messages at once. You get direct engagement on your topic/question/interest, and it's with like minded folks who are basically wanting to discuss the exact...

I really like the look and idea of the Mule! Stoked to be able to carry one of those around soon. I swapped out the Odyssey for an Apollo and a Phoenix, too many big boats for me (did lose some sweet ccu value though)

Yeah. That said, it was originally sold as "Exploration/Combat" and the brochure literally shows the Corsair 'assaulting a station'. I like to think it's going to be a straight rat ship, the devs said there is nothing special about the ships scanners. How does it fill the role of a true explorer?

For Connie I'd likely get the Phoenix at IAE (was there last year anyhow) so that could serve as a multirole VIP mission boat. Only thing about doing that is it eats deeper into the credits, so that would restrict other ships. Could grab it and the MSR though, both would be more useful to me...

So, in your mind, does the Connie, MSR and Corsair work well together, or do a pair cancel each other out? MSR is a data/hauler to my knowledge and I doubt the Corsair will hang with it in speed or data.

Yeah, part of my core fleet is definitely the Starliner and the Corsair. I only worry that having a Connie will overlap with the Corsair too much.

Ha! Then I'm in trouble bc y'all are the brightest minds in t he 'verse!

Awesome input! Thank you very much for your time! You said my current fleet could move something like a Hornet. Is that based on the assumption of the Merchantman being able to move vessels like the defender? I know the odyssey has a hangar but if it gets the axe, that’s that. I’ve gone back and...

Solid advice! Thanks gents! I’ll derp around in the carrack tomorrow a bit.

Pax transport is already handled by the Starliner. There were other loops listed after. I don't think there are many of us here that are solely interested in only one mode of gameplay. Not to say those that are, are wrong for it. Just isn't my style, that's for sure. No worries, I appreciate...

Yeah, my thoughts were basically this: Odyssey is an expedition vessel made for long treks into the black. I'd likely not stay out weeks at a time, personally, and would more likely do a few days tops. So the Corsair should fill that role just fine, explorer lite with piracy capabilities. The...

How do they not? The MSR is cargo + data/smuggling, the sentinel is a combat ship, Apollo doesn't really fit in with anything but med gameplay is on the way and surely it'll make some form of profit. I mentioned transports, trade, some combat.

Passenger transport, some combat but not tons of it, trade and some exploration. Don't have much interest in mining, refining, etc. Who knows down the line though, when they add more systems in! I'm just going off experience in other space games, x series, elite etc.

CCU'd, and that's been part of my back and forth. I just feel like it'll be one more big ship sitting in the hangar. "Space base is cool tho!" Yeah, but long treks in the black on a giant ship, lots of work to do for the lonely spacefarer. The Endeavor has biodome, hangar and general research lab.
