Which still doesn't say anything. LOL

The problem cones in when there are more than one missile. With multiple high speed targets you need rapid firing weapons. This is true in real world navies (The Phalanx and Goalkeeper systems are the Current and most extreme examples), and most science fiction. The pyroburst will get one, and...

I have a Hornet Ghost. It is a nice ship, I have three Tarantulas and a Flashfire with a Ballistic Combi Cannon on it. When I hit I leave a mark. :) However with Item 2.0, according to the new guides that came with the Ship Matrix, the nose gun is gone and can only mount the chin turret with 2...

Changed with the new rules and the ship matrix. No longer exists. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16181-The-Shipyard-Weapon-Hardpoints Where they exist now they are specifically changed to turrets that are specific to the hull and not swappable to a different hull. (No...

I made the same point on missiles, since the Cutlass has more missiles, though the MIS has more if you want them. Further missiles are expensive, so cut into your profit margin. I am actually considering the MIS, not for removable missile reload racks, I would rather remove them, but for the...

I saw that. It means you may be able to carry a bike or a little cargo depending on layout. But we don't know how that will work out. The Freelancer and the Cutlass are equivalent. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

The turret on the Hurricane is manned, whether it can be slaved to the pilot, since it isn't a remote turret is an open question, but I doubt it. You should be able to AI it, but you are giving up controlling more than half your firepower.

The difference between the Cutlass and the Lancer is the Cutlass has a slightly faster top speed (Makes no sense to me at all in space, but what the heck.) and one size bigger guns on the top Turret, but the Lancer has twice the fuel, the option for a second shield generator, more cargo space...

I doubt that the Bounty Hunting mechanics will be in game before the Blue.

There are only 3 Size 5 guns on a 600i, the Connie has 4. I did not see anything in the new ship specs that allows you to double up guns if you go down a size. Did I miss something? The Pyros are energy weapons. I would actually go with badgers on the turrets and point defense blades for the...

Why Exploration package over touring?

In my concept the Freelancer fills the same role as the Cutlass Blue, presuming I can get stasis pods for it. And I actually like the Freelancer. LOL. I think the same issue with the Super Hornet and the Avenger also applies to the Dragonfly only more so. A person on the back of a motorcycle...

Presuming you can get one for a non-wildfire, non-Superhornet.

Which is why I only want one ship without an interior. LOL.

With Drake, it feels like World War 2 tech on the interior. B-52's feel more like a starship than Drake ships. :) It is an aesthetic thing. :) Tracking on a planet is why I am thinking I am going to need a buggy, Rover, AFV or similar that can transport a bounty back to a starport. Which...

I would own a Cutlass Blue if they had them for sale. After playing with what little we have, I am glad I couldn't. My problems with the Cutlass series in particular and the Drake ships in general are, primarily, aesthetic. I just don't like them, it is a personal problem. LOL. My problems with...

I get that. LOL. I don't expect a final list, just a working list. :)

Hi All, I know the Bounty Hunter Mechanics are not even a serious consideration yet. LOL but I am trying to plan ahead a little. I would love some input from those that have been at this a little longer. I am thinking that relocating from one home base to a new one is likely to be time...

The Saber hits harder than the Hornet unless you can add the ball turret to the standard Hornet. If the flashfire mount is still a thing then it is close. Both of those questions about the hornet are open, unfortunately.
