    FYI - October 2948 Subscriber Flair

    Just the arms. We get a piece a month. First it was the Undersuit, then the helmet, now the arms. I am betting next month it is legs, then finally in December the Core piece. It is also for sale on the Subscriber Store. So basically, wait till the whole set is released and get it for about...

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    I can see it now, "The Dancing Gypsy Trading Post and Emporium! If we ain't got it, you don't need it!"

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    Can't really trade the Vulcan for a Crucible, as a Crucible being a large ship, would not fit into the internal hangar. The Vulcan would be for minor repairs and refueling of vessels that would not fit into the hangar. Now, having a Crucible alongside as an additional ship to the "outpost"...

    I gotta ask, your handle, is it from the sword of French literature, or is it in reference to the airstrip denial weapon?

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    I like your thinking as a Support/Escort. Four small fighters, one medium fighter and a Vulcan to do minor repairs/run fuel to ships that can't fit in the Kraken's hangar.

    What's your guy's opinion on the new citizencon ships?

    From what I have seen, the small ships can fit into the internal hangar from their landing pads, they more or less roll in. The medium ships landing pads are elevators that can lift the ships in and out of the internal hangar. All ships would have to fit into the internal hangar as going to QD...

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    As I mentioned earlier, even setting back half of it's cargo for fuel and munitions, you still carry 3 times what a Catepiller can. Not as good as say a Merchantman, but a good hybrid with lots of potential flexibility.

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    This is my fear as well, I could probably liquidate my entire fleet and not have enough to get one.

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    I think the main benefit of it as a escort is that it can provide fighter support for the role of escort. Small fighters have very limited range, and most escorts would be guarding weaker, larger cargo vessels. With trade, you can denote just half of it's cargo capacity and still carry 3...

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    I think the carriers will have to carry fuel for the fighters. I was looking at this and thinking: 2 Prospectors (Small ships) 1 Hull B (Medium ship) 1 Sabre and 1 Hurricane (Small ships) 1 Eclipse (Medium ship) This would be great for extended planetary or asteroid mining, and could handle...

    The Kraken, all you need for escort duty or trade?

    I was thinking that too, heck, a Hull B is still considered a medium ship.

    Might be because Capital size ships can't normally land, the Kraken can.

    Have you cleaned your PC today?

    I usually set off a small shaped charge, it normally blows all the dust and shrapnel out of the system and across the room. Then I buy a new system. You guys getting all fancy with your vacuums, air cans, and scuba gear... Remember, there are few problems in life that cannot be resolved with...
