    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    That would've been nice, but it was equipped with an automatic transmission. Before that I had a 4 cylinder 1997 Chevy Malibu that would shred most Mustangs & Camaros at the lights, usually smoke them for the initial 1/8th mile & often still squeak out the win at the 1/4 on the city streets in...

    Wormholes Suck (literally) or out of the frying pan and into the. . .

    IF that was actually performed live, instead of performed a recording while those on stage acted like it was live, then I'm going to guess that she'd had a few runs with that in advance. Which might explain CR knowing that the ship might end up effectively lost in space between the 2 systems...

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    I named my 1996 V6 Pontiac Firebird "The Flaming Chicken" because it was only the V6 instead of the v8. Ironically, it periodically proved that a large part of racing victory is in the personal skill of the driver & not just the power of the vehicle.

    WTB BMM CCU

    While this is true, the more CIG adds features & fidelity into the game, the less multi-crew ships will be able to be soloed effectively or efficiently.

    Ares can have external size 5 Torpedoes!

    Perhaps there needs to be a Org of those that own / operate Starfarers that can post the names of those that attack their ships to either give them a jackass tax each time they needs emergency fuel top offs or if they are a repeat offender, simply have them banned by all players from helping...

    Ares can have external size 5 Torpedoes!

    Somebody's going to be taken out by surprise torpedoes on a taco Tuesday by a TESTie with a happy trigger finger.

    Carrack Killer Video Response

    They'll wait to unveil the "Oddy killer" until a year or so after that's been released & has gotten itself a BIS nod. They'll probably release something major like the BMM, Polaris or some other major ship that is popular that isn't out yet with a boosted price instead.

    Grappler Ships

    If I saw 1 of these coming towards a large ship, I'd do my best to catch it with a tractor beam & maneuver the entrance to right behind the main thruster of a big ship, then have that ship go full throttle. I wonder how salty Vanduul get when thoroughly roasted. Will they go well with beer...

    Shit new applicants are saying

    What if the captain ordered the pilot to ram the object while doing a keg stand with the help of his other crew members? That would up the challenge a bit.

    Grappler Ships

    I'm thinking, that depending on what ship I'm using, I might just have a handful of full beer kegs near a door, so that if I get interdicted & some jerk space pirate tries to steal my goods with a tractor beam to hold my ship in place, I'll have a partner open the back & toss out the beer...

    Grappler Ships

    Based on its layout for entry, I suspect that the tractor beam for the Cutlass Black will mainly target behind & to the sides as a means of drawing in cargo that has been scattered into space or on the ground around it to save the time & effort of the crew from having to do so manually. I have...

    Carrack Killer Video Response

    I'm currently choosing to accept that CIG's statements that during this developmental process, everything is subject to change. Thus As @Montoya & others have pointed out, the Carrack was listed as "a top tier" exploration ship, but that doesn't exactly state that it is the absolute best in all...

    Hey everyone *enthusiastically waves*

    Hello & welcome to the TEST party @Johnyreeco , how are the roughnecks doing? What sorts of ships & game play do you like or are looking forward to most? I'm guessing that you might be a fan of the ARGO MPUV Personnel carrier as well as FPS gameplay such as clearing bunkers instead of bug...

    Carrack Killer Video Response

    I love my Carrak, so I did my best to purchase a WB Oddy as well separately. I then waited a day to melt the Oddy to then use the funds to help secure other ships that I can either use now or to lock in the price for 1 "soon (tm)" through the CCU game. I'll now do my best to save up over time...
