Based on this, if that is their goal, I'd say that they'd make the Odyssey around $25 more expensive than the BMM with the warbond CCU having a $15-20 discount.

Just remember that the best TEST drives conclude with an "artistic" parking job. I'd like to think that we have a reputation for having members with "artistic" skills in various forms. Especially if the phrase "hold my beer & check this out" is given. hehe

Hello, my name is Talon & I really like space jpegs. I'll sit down so the next can introduce themselves to Jpegs Anonymous here within TEST Squadron.

I'm quite happy that I was wrong about the price that I suspected the Spartan might be sold at during this event. $65 w/ LTI standalone is a good deal, especially for how many geared troops you can transport on the ground at a time. I picked 1 up this morning.

I'm looking forward to a Xeno Threat style event where the Fighter ships of the Xeno faction launch from within the Idris, which would require it's hangar doors to open to launch or receive their fighters. At the same time, that would be perfect times for ships like the Eclipse or Ret to launch...

I'm really hoping that you're both right, because that would be all the more awesome. With them improving the AI combat functionality as well as adding in this new medical game play & having some bunker missions be where you have to clear out a base, then hold off a counter assault, having more...

I'm curious what the cost of the Spartan will be & hoping that it'll be low enough to count as the low cost ship ($125-$175) of this event with the RAFT as mid ($225-$350) & the Odyssey as high end ($400-$500). These are obviously my own best guesses in cost since I have no clue.

I'm probably stupid for hoping this, but as it's this ships concept sale, I'm hoping that its cost this round would be somewhere in the $400-$500 range to maximize initial sales by undercutting the $600 Carrack, then the next time it's up for sale they move the prize closer until its cost...

All great ships & I agree about the Polaris.

Here's another crazy idea. Pair a redeemer or 2 with a squadron of Ions to work as their security as they snipe large targets from range & preferably cover, in case the adversaries send small or medium dog fighters to intercept them.

I'm starting to think that we're looking at this all wrong. From what I recall, the Vanguards, as their name suggests, are meant to be long range strike fighters. With the Redeemer being a gunship, perhaps it's meant to fill a role similar to the Hammerhead, but with smaller convoys or convoys...

The best theory I have is that based on lore & a few ships, MISC has worked with the Xi'an, so it might have some Xi'an features that would cater to a different niche of exploration in a size larger than the DUR. If you reach Space Marshal this year, then congrats in advance. If not, congrats...

Welcome to the TEST party! Do you have any favorite ships so far that you either have or hope to have in your fleet someday?

ARGO will probably reveal the RAFT. My long time guess is that RAFT = Refine, Analyze, Filter & Transport. A ship from MISC that is potentially large enough to have Disco struggling to restrain himself from hinting more than he's currently allowed? I won't lie, I'm intrigued & my finances are...

Hello & nice to meet you. I see that this was your initial posting here on the TEST forums. While I don't happen to have any information on this currently, do recommend that you make a new member introduction post so that we can get to know you a bit before diving straight into potential...

When this happens, I'll ask how the planning goes to pair the 1st F8C with its "Executive Edition" sibling. That's what started coming to my mind as the 1st grew close with the realization that the IAE would be arriving before the year ends. Obviously, my bank account is seeing that creeping...

You're always welcome to TEST out mine whenever you want my friend.

Clearly the Ares are a 1st strike sort of ship, like the Talon is supposed to be because of its stealth abilities. However, should the swarm of dog fighting get close enough to the Ares, its best chance for survival is that enemy ships will fly in front of its weapon avoiding other fighters...

Watching the firing of that Gat makes me suspect that some players will be hoping for full sensation VR as well as the ability to lessen the padding in the bottom of the seat, just to feel the vibrations. Similar to those that get a certain thrill from riding a motor cycle with a powerful engine.

Personally, I like both the Redeemer as well as all 4 of the Vanguards. As for which is best, I'll say that it will often depend to some degree on the situation, scenario & who / what is available at that time & place. Sorry that I'm not much help with this debate. In my humble opinion, if...
