    3:10 is live!

    There is nothing real or even realistic about Star Citizen space combat, especially not the changes in 3.10. They have actually gotten further away from realism. If they were going to add realism, I would be all for it. For example, when it comes to realism, the Anvil ships, as a brand, would...

    Hammerhead to Polaris CCU?

    Thanks Michael. It is worth consideration, depending on what 3.10 brings.

    Hammerhead to Polaris CCU?

    The Retaliator flies worse than the Connie, though with less oversteer. (I have both.) Thanks.

    Hammerhead to Polaris CCU?

    I am in the thinking stage so not in a hurry. I am waiting to see what the flight model changes do to fix my hangar queen, the Retaliator. It just isn't fun to fly. The Polaris became a limited ship last anniversary sale so I can't CCU to it through the store. I am thinking I still want a...

    need ship Advice

    For a second ship, the greycat mining buggy, should come, warbond, with LTI (lifetime insurance). Depending on price that might make a great base to upgrade from. When upgrading a ship the insurance on the ship you upgraded from is the Insurance the new ship has, unless it is a special upgrade...

    need ship Advice

    Yes, or there might be a good LTI token between now and then.

    need ship Advice

    You might consider the 300 series. You don't give up any firepower from the Stalker. Breaking the bank is relative. LOL. Speed in normal space or in Quantum? IMHO, the biggest issue with the Avenger series, the 300 series and the Cutlass is range. The Freelancer doesn't appear as comfortable...

    Luxury ships - what's the point?

    The Phoenix is armed to the gills, for its size. It gives up 16 SCU (Compared to the Andromeda) for better quarters a rear automated point defense turret (not yet implemented) and a bar. If they would let me CCU my Andromeda to one, I would. :) Fast in normal space or in Quantum?

    Alien Week is ON!

    I have tried to use a buyback token on a warbond Nox a couple of times and it never let me.

    Alien Week is ON!

    With one exception. If you melt something you bought warbond, you can't buy it back with credit.

    Alien Week is ON!

    I have both a Nox Kue (LTI) and a Dragonfly Yellowjacket. (The Yellow Jacket is a CCU from my Mustang starter package (60 months Insurance)). I am not really seeing much of a use for either. The Nox is likely to become a Stalker or a Hawk.

    What the F1? (..and F2)

    I believe that is part of the known issues with the database server. They fixed the database, according to the patch notes, but couldn't fix the accounts. Requires a character reset.

    In the market for a bomber.

    I keep coming back to the 600i Explorer, that way I have a bar. I believe the Bar is more important than the Torpedoes.

    Fleet Repository

    The Connie has a CCU for a Redeemer, in case the Redeemer rebuild is great. The Retaliator was intended as my large party Bounty Hunting endgame vessel. Unless its flight model changes that may have to seriously be rethought. (Though I really hate to give up old PT-73. :) ) If I can carry...

    True, but some are more crap than others. :) I won't decide before the anniversary sale, and maybe not even until the Anniversary Sale in 2021. :) I can be patient

    In the market for a bomber.

    There isn't a Drake ship (Other than the Dragonfly) that I have liked yet. So while I understand the opinion, I don't share it. LOL.

    Invictus Megathread

    I would pay to have all of my ships have the same color scheme. The choices for what you can paint, and the lack of an ability to make them uniform just makes no sense to me.

    In the market for a bomber.

    The Connie flies like crap, but I am getting used to flying it. The Connie checks all the boxes for what I want to do in the verse, but currently serves as a place holder, while I wait for what is still to come and, especially, what the Redeemer turns into. The Retaliator is the ship that got...

    In the market for a bomber.

    I am, intentionally, limiting myself to one Carrier bird. Everything but my Sabre needs range and an interior with amenities. The Eclipse has longer range than the typical Carrier Bird but it still tied to either a carrier or a base for eating, drinking, showering, sleeping, changing armor sets...
