    Survey: What is the FLAGSHIP in you fleet ?

    I have the base. I am seriously considering, temporarily, swapping it out for a Constellation Andromeda. The current Meta is cargo. I have a Retaliator base to Andromeda CCU and a Andromeda to Retaliator Bomber CCU. The question, now, is just timing. :) It is still my favorite looking ship...

    No real rework. Some minor tweaks. Because of its quantum speed I have done some flying in it. Compared to my Vanguard, Gladius and Avenger it is a bit sluggish on the helm, but not as bad as I remember. Still not really useful in the game but when you show up, people do notice.

    Survey: What is the FLAGSHIP in you fleet ?

    Biggest ship I have any desire to fly. Waiting on the promised Bounty Hunter Module, and looking for a rear cargo module.

    WTB Tali Modules, maybe a Harby BUK

    In game name is Quentin McHale. Richard Bong (US Ace flew a P38) just didn't do it for me after all.

    You can buy one of the showdown ships for a limited time

    Ah, out of the box numbers. Don't they have the same size mounts though? So you could throw the same equipment on both, right? So the missile numbers aren't correct on the page anymore. Like I said earlier, and elsewhere, the MIS has more missiles. From a practical standpoint, if you are...

    Survey: What is the FLAGSHIP in you fleet ?

    My Vanguard is likely my daily driver. My biggest ship is my Retaliator, also the most versatile. Flagship, don't really have one.

    Need advice on ships to buy for Support operations (Directly supporting the KRAKEN)

    Just some observations. The Tonk and the Ballista are very specialized and limited in scope. You are likely to be happier with a Cyclone TR and a Cyclone AA, and possibly a base cyclone. Much faster, harder to hit and easier to deploy. The Eclipse, Arrow, Saber and Lightning are Carrier...

    WTB Tali Modules, maybe a Harby BUK

    @DirectorGunner had BUKs which is where I got my Warden BUK. Not a big hurry though since the modules are not supported by the code yet.

    WTB Tali Modules, maybe a Harby BUK

    Hey guys, anyone got Tali Cargo and/or Living modules? I am also considering a Harby BUK. . :) Anyone have them? Edited to add: Not doing the BUK, it is a novelty, I don't need. Thanks for putting up with me Owl. Now all I need is rear Cargo, thanks to the wise howl's link.

    You can buy one of the showdown ships for a limited time

    Wait until the anniversary sale. I don't have either but I have owned both the Lancer and the Cutlass. For combat the Vanguard is generally a step up from either. If you want a Lancer over the Cutlass, then my recommendation is the base Lancer or the Max. IMHO if you want a pick up truck, get...
