    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    If you If you say so. I was never interested in the DUR anyway. If the MIS doesn't have a rear turret, I am not interested. In fact I am now rethinking having any ship in that size category at all since it doesn't offer a significant upgrade, in capability, from an Avenger. Cutting my personal...

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    The reason I really want to know how many blades a Medium Computer can install. The Tali can have 2 Medium Computers and a blade can automate a turret.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    That and the reduction in the cargo capacity would cover the sensors. Also why I thought the MIS had better sensors than the base.

    Turret slot, not cargo capacity.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    No the Aquilla has the same cargo capacity as the Andromeda. The Taurus additional cargo capacity comes at the expense of the lower turret and the Merlin. The Andromeda and the Aquilla have the same specs, except the Andromeda has a top turret and the Aquilla has the sensor array. So the DUR...

    The Aquilla doesn't lose cargo capacity. The Red doesn't lose cargo capacity to the scanner. And the red's scanner isn't manned. If that is what it is, then, that is what it is, and the MIS is not for me. The question becomes do I really want a ship in that size class.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    If that is the case, then, for me, the MIS is out. Base or Max, or lose the medium size ship altogether.

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    If it can carry a buggy or rover, and some stasis pods, I was actually considering getting one to be my bigger bounty hunter ship. That way I can have a living module to entertain clients, carry a vehicle that can bring a bounty back to the ship, and use as a drop ship or PT boat, or...

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    I am looking at a Tali as well. The question for me is how many blades a Medium Computer can hold. The other question is if a buggy will fit in the Tali's cargo bays.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Note that the Base Freelancer has 2 remote turrets with 2 size 3 ballistic cannon plus a manned turret with 2 size 2 weapons (Currently M4A Lasers). The MIS is missing a turret, it is most likely the top turret, and very likely an error to have it missing. The gun loadout was always the same as...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Sorry I wasn't clear. The ship is clearly fitted with missiles. On the wings and ready to fire on the top mounts. The lore has the explosion in the reloads. So filling the cargo hold with explosive ordinance is the reason for the mishaps, not having missile mounts. And I have looked at the...

    They are the same turrets on the base Freelancer. Port and Starboard.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    The specs on the MIS page are wrong and his interpretation is even more wrong. The rear turret is missing from the sheet, and the guns he is saying were size 5 are the two unmanned turrets with 2 size 3 guns each are the same guns the rest of the series has. It is not quad size 3 on the back.

    Filled with missiles. :) It was clearly designed to be fitted with them. LOL. A magazine hit is very likely to be catastrophic, but the same can be said for most ships with internal ordinance. :)

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    For light hauling the Black is better than the Blue. The MIS may or may not still have the ability to remove the missile racks, making its hauling capability anemic, if it can't. Further in the comparison remember that missiles are likely to prove expensive. Now the Freelancer does have the...

    Whats your favorite ship change?

    Favorite Ship change? The Freelancer gets a second shield and second computer. Add in the ability to add a blade to a computer to run a turret, and the Lancer got more survivable. Least favorite ship changes The Freelancer MIS doesn't list the ability to remove the missile racks for cargo...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I like it. More than I am willing to spend, and a bigger team that is likely practical, but I like it.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    That was before the ability to land a bike in a ship was in the code. So yes, tandem is speculation, but the camera angles showed space for 2.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I already said that. :slight_smile: I think it was in my first post. :slight_smile: It was: For a Bounty Hunter, the Freelancer, the Cutlass, and possibly the Redeemer, all fill the same role. Medium size ship with some cargo capacity, should have the ability to carry prisoners and a bike...

    3.0 ptu for Christmas?

    They are still adding features. Feature creep gone wild. We will be lucky to see PTU beyond Avocado before the end of February, and actual release before Summer the way they are going.
