Drake ships in general feel less spaceworthy than a World War 2 aircraft to me. :) Drake ships, to me are too blocky, as well. Those are the aesthetic reasons. The only Drake item I like the look of is the Dragonfly. :) It isn't that the ship can't do the job, it is just that I don't like it...

I am seeing a bunch of wasted space in the Defender, but I am not seeing enough space to properly secure a bounty. The most important factor is how well do you like the ship. It is all about how you feel about the aesthetics. If you don't like the look of the ship, you won't be happy with it...

I am not all that impressed with second and third wave PTU or release either though. :)

It is as close to a Polaris that you can currently buy and fly.

Back to the OP The Polaris is unlikely to be available from CIG before the next anniversary sale. (Though you can purchase it Gray Market.) The Retaliator serves a similar role at a lower price and is flyable now. If you are a Subscriber it is also available now. My recommendation is that If...

A Javelin carries a Platoon of Marines, IIRC. A Platoon of Marines requires 4, rough guess it could be 5, Hoplites to deploy to the target. Boarding your dropships is easier in a Hangar than through EVA. Land a Hoplite, load your marines take off, land the next Hoplite, etc. One other thing...

The point is that a Hoplite doesn't fit in the Polaris Hangar. A Sabre is about as big as it gets.

Official word is a Sabre will fit, barely. If you want to carry a Hoplite, you need a Javelin.

BTW Beer is not the answer. Beer is the question. Yes is the answer.

As a police/bounty hunter ship it needs a weapons rack and a locker to change into body armor or civies. Remember nothing more than a side arm and a flight suit in the pilot seat. :slight_smile: Because of that most of us are going to be going out the ramp not through the cockpit anyway...

And that is just part of what should be going on. Like I said, CIG drives me nuts on this. My favorite is getting smacked by bugs I watched them fix on bug smashers.

I did 3D Graphics Software QA for 9 years. Their QA and release process drives me absolutely nuts. Especially since the servers are not the same and they still haven't figured that they have to test on both production and dev, not just dev. So yes, I feel your pain. LOL

That is exactly why I have my Titan. Versatile ship, low cost can be used to retrieve cargo or, with a stasis pod or six, people. :) "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...

I don't even expect my Tali to leave port on day one, unless it is to shuttle it away from the crowd to a less crowded home port. That is why I have an Avenger Titan, and will have stasis pods for it when that addition is allowed as opposed to the current either/or. :) I have a Vanguard...

Right. I was just pointing out that the Size 10 were not for that role.

I will also note that, for an alert pilot, a ship smaller than a Connie/Tali, dodges size 9 torps fairly easily. Obviously we haven't seen size 10 yet. Combine the ability to be dodged, the lock on time and the cost, Size 9+ Torps should not be classified as anti-fighter weapons. That isn't to...

BTW, for those interested the Tali is the Subscriber Ship of the month right now. I am not sure why, after all turrets are bugged, there is nothing worth firing a Size 9 at, in the game, and since the modules are not in game you can't haul cargo with one :) but it is the ship of the month.

My Tali has two Torpedo bays with two fixed launchers (aft) and 2 rotary launchers (Fore), and locks and fires all 6 at once. On the other hand, I stand corrected, the Polaris has 4 tubes.

I wouldn't think much bigger than a Sabre or Hornet, though a Gladiator might fit.

Thinking of naval ship roles, the verse is missing a stealth ship between the Polaris and the Idiris. Something with torps instead of the flight deck. A rail gun to deal with Merchantmen and clean up. Then we would have the equivalent to Submarines.
