    What's better?

    Ideally you'd have the Aurora's fly out and swarm the Kingship: If the intention was to leave them inside hangars attatched to the Hull, then you'd be better served by simply having explosives in place of them in the cargo\hangars, as you'd carry more explosives that way - Plus having the...

    What's better?

    Had you considered a Hull E loaded with Hangars containing Auroras? The Hull draws the fire from the Kingship, allowing the Auroras to get much closer before launching and being "detected" (and so able to be engaged), and allows the momentum of the Hull (or it's wreckage) to increase the amount...

    Warbond CCU Question

    Not really - You pay 10% when you buy it initially, but when you melt it, this "returns" to your balance (but is not visible) and is applied against whatever you use your "credit" on to cover the tax that you would have been charged had you not used the money for the melted item, and instead...

    Warbond CCU Question

    Is it possible to list the CCU and date you have for the purchase on any you're note sure of (CCU game seems to show the date you melted buybacks, not purchase date), as there's a chance someone here may have one in their hangar still and can check.

    Warbond CCU Question

    Even the "CCU Game" plugin and website won't help check, unfortunately... I bought a couple of Spartan and Raft CCU's at IAE last year that have 10 year insurance, but the site doesn't reflect this component of them - It does, however, show it for the CCU's purchased at Invictus (The only CCU's...

    New ground vehicle on the way (Anvil Centurion)

    Here's another view on it by a relatively new player: It appears to have 500k uSCU personal storage, and "can" fit in an 890 Jump... If they can work out the detection for ground vehicles, these could be interesting if a group\org want to "control" jumptown. I could also see these being...

    New ground vehicle on the way (Anvil Centurion)

    Looks like a new "version" of the Balista will be arriving shortly that uses guns rather than missiles:

    Auto-looting and Auto-selling

    With the upcoming database reset and reduction in aUEC balances, I'm guessing that most people would probably like a way to help return their accounts to their current state after the patch releases. This being the case, here's a video I came across a week or so back which may be of interest...

    Database Wipe Incoming 3.17.2

    I prefer the Aril armor - The yellow HUD it gives seems better than the standard blue.

    Caterpillar internal rework on the way?

    If the roadmap is accurate, the Retaliator has had a "gold standard pass" during q1 and q2 last year, with the room swapping (modules changing) being worked on at the same time. I'm guessing these will be implemented after Q1 next year, however, as there is an entry for the Aegis Retaliator...

    Alien week - Yes, there are warbond CCUs

    If you go to the CCUs section of "Your Items", there's an option\filter for "hangar" and "buyback" (headed "Place")... Select whichever you want, then scroll to the bottom of the table. I then used the numbers in the calculation: Hangar -> Hangar CCU pledge total \ (ships pledge total + Hangar...

    Alien week - Yes, there are warbond CCUs

    I had to use a calculator to find the %: With "CCU pledge total" being either hangar alone, or hangar + Buy-Back. I'm planning to slowly convert as many CCU's into "cash" rather than credit based as I can, so if I don't need them in future and they increase in value (vulture ones in 3.18, for...

    Alien week - Yes, there are warbond CCUs

    I left currently unavailable items off the suggestions, and stuck with what is available now, to avoid complicating things :) For example, if you bring the Vulcan in, it confuses things more than they already are: In the $195-$250 range you have (among many possible combinations)...

    Alien week - Yes, there are warbond CCUs

    I'd suggest that you ignore the vulture -> defender CCU, and grab a Constellation Taurus -> Defender CCU instead, leaving a gap betwen the Vulture and the Freelancer MIS (Constellation Taurus CCU you have) to fill in later. I'd also suggest an M2 -> Merchantman CCU, leaving a gap between the...

    Caterpillar internal rework on the way?

    I don't think it would have a huge impact on what could be transported, but it would simplify arranging cargo by mass to keep the ship evenly balanced for flight, which is something they are planning on implementing. If you look at the current boxes we can "create", we have a 1x1x1 and a 1x1x2...

    MULE! Looks like a handy vehicle for those bunkers

    I haven't tried combat yet (poor reflexes - among other reasons - means PvP is out of the question for me, and I've been reluctant to even give PvE a shot), so can't give any insight into their combat perfomance (flight or guns). The ones I have tried seem OK leaving atmo, but I've only really...

    MULE! Looks like a handy vehicle for those bunkers

    Surely CIG would never do anything to upset their customers... I'm currently undecided on which ship to use for ROC transport [1]: Nomad is cheap, but reversing onto tray and time between cockpit of ship and controls of ROC (3 doors plus ladder) is too long. Cutlass Black is not quite as cheap...

    MULE! Looks like a handy vehicle for those bunkers

    Maybe it's just my eyes - It looks to me like the "line" the mule is driving along with its wheel on the right is a corner where the ramp has a side forming, rather than remaining flat from that point.

    MULE! Looks like a handy vehicle for those bunkers

    I have a cutlass that I use as my current ROC mover, but I'm planning to replace this with a valkyrie soonish - It seems a better ship than my other option (Freelancer MAX) with quicker access to the ROC if you manage the jump correctly (jump at the right time and you miss the ladder\ladder...
