    The practical use of Carrier birds.

    My current fleet is an Avenger, a Sabre, a Vanguard Warden and a Retaliator, plus a couple of bikes. In my fleet the Sabre serves the role of Carrier fighter for the Org, stealth recon and hard hitting combat craft to cover other missions. The Avenger is supposed to fill the role of...

    [Mercury Star Runner Intensifies]

    I'd settle for getting rid of the struts. Oh and it looks like someone ate a whole box of grreebles then puked all over it.

    Roadmap: where did the Cutty Blue go?

    It is now sitting in 4.0. Without the game play mechanic figured out, I think that might be optimistic.

    WTB warden buk

    The Hoplite not having the hardpoint is not necessarily the case. Now that they have been standardized there is no reason not to have the hardpoint. In fact J. Crewe implied that it does. Since, at this moment, none of them have that hardpoint, there is no way to know, either way.

    I guess it had to happen.

    This still looks more comfortable. https://www.mwelab.com/en/

    is the Carrack undermanned?

    The cargo are modular bays. Living module, like the Retaliator?

    is the Carrack undermanned?

    Thd bigger problem for as starship is not the number of bunks but life support capacity. While the Carrack is not s "combat vessel" it is also designed for, unlike a freighter or tanker, for solo operation away from support. Which, IMHO, makes it both undermanned and under gunned.

    is the Carrack undermanned?

    It isn't about the beds, but the crew requirements. How many hours a day do you spend in bed? The mission appears to require, at a minimum, pilot, engineer(s), shuttle pilot, astrogator, sensors, 2 drone operators, doctor, nurse, 2-4 person away team, 4 gunners. Crew of 6 is pilot, Engineer...

    is the Carrack undermanned?

    You left out "Away team." In reality the ship should have a crew of around 12 to carry out a its exploration functions. More as a military scout going into harm's way. However, this is a game and consistently putting together a crew of 12 is not realistic, unless you are in Test Squadron...

    PC Advice. Keypads/GPUs etc.

    These days I would go with a 1TB SSD, nothing smaller. Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=dp_cerb_2 While my current monitors are all ASUS, I have never gone wrong with an LG and it has the best Specs and the best price for an Ultrawide Screen. I just got a Logitech X56 HOTAS for...

    Squadron 42 visual teaser... Let the discussion commence

    Single player FPS games have never really been my thing. I certainly wouldn't pay full retail for one. It depends on what the actual thing turns out to be.

    Squadron 42 visual teaser... Let the discussion commence

    The video didn't show much of anything that was new. Yes, a couple of Vanduul ships we haven't seen in their rework. One new one. Everything else we have seen. Many of the clips we had actually seen previously, they were just cut together in a different order. Yawn. After the vertical slice...

    Idea for new game play for bounty hunters.

    The proper role for a Bounty Hunter: "We are a single body, with no allegiance to anyone but ourselves. We offer one, simple service to all of our clients - we will cross contested jurisdictions for you, find who or what you’re looking for, and bring it back to you in the condition requested...

    No more boxruns for starter ships in 3.8?

    Coming in for a landing at Area 18. Crossed into the no longer marked no fly zone. Boom. Wake up in Area 18, oh that's different. Get notified that I my ship is taking too long to land. Get told I am blocking an active flight bay. (What the wreckage?) Catch a 650 fine, and a 550 Impound...

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    We have had size 9 torps for a while.

    Melt the Nautilus for the Ares?

    I would think mining beacons would be a Capital Offense.
