I would wait to decide. There are two issues. First, somewhere near thirty ships are about to get serious rework. Some of this is good and some is not. The 400i recently lost its stealth status. If it gets it back, it could become the premium explorer. Right now, the 315P is still the premium...

That is a good way to go, but you know me. I am a little addicted to seeing without being seen. The Firebird’s signature is half what the Pisces is, and it can kill opponent scouts and fighters at 25km. So there’s that. But it does take up three times the deck space of a Pisces. If you wanted...

That’s a great idea. I usually think in terms of playing against AI because I plan to play the Sons of Orion storyline, killing Vanduul. Against players you need to be more cagey. And it is also a great excuse to put a med bed in the field. I think you could make a great argument for keeping a...

Absolutely I agree the Polaris needs as many scouts as it can get, but the Razor is smaller, faster and harder to hit than the Pisces, so I’m not sure why you would use a Pisces. Four Razors, three Pisces or two Terrapins will fit in the hanger. The Terrapin has a bed and S2 scan, and a small...

If you need to land troops, the Pisces is good, but the Terrapin is better. If you’re trying to save deckspace to fit as many scouts as possible, the Razor EX has a lower sig than the Pisces, is much faster and maybe we can cut the wings off and stack a dozen in the Polaris bay. They are...

Well keep in mind, the Sabres are all medium fighters with stealth. To be fair, it should run away if it’s facing more than four fighters. That is a lot, however, and it doesn’t need to go looking for a fight. It needs to scout, and to shepherd torps onto target, which means flying with them...

For Polaris scouts you want low sig, speed, high scan, low deck footprint ( to fit more than 1) and a bonus is lethality. The Terrapin seems to fit all but the last, but it is not fast nor lethal enough to cope with enemy scouts. So yeah, the Firebird looks pretty full of awesome. If we can cut...

So the Polaris is in Erkul. Interesting numbers. EM and IR are 16-17k. Its S3 missiles have a lock range of 25km and the S10 torps lock out to 40km. EM is easy to drop to 2k by shutting stuff off. The IR won’t go below 16k even with the reactor off, which is probably an issue with Erkul. It...

David Icke is the reptile guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory

I once read a book about dragons that claimed they are real and hiding in wilderness settings all over the world, but that we’re not familiar with them because of their potent “mimic” ability. They supposedly have such great camouflage that they’re near impossible to spot even when you get a...

Yes, CIG has a huge interest in protecting PvE. Note too, piracy is pretty easily tamed by sheer numbers of even moderately competent security, and turning an interesting if trivial combat into a lethal one is simple. Don’t have 2 security Avengers. Have 8. There are many simple fixes. It’s...

So, I imagine since this has been moved to where no one can find it, it’s okay to give an update. A lot has happened on this topic that refuses to die. Lots of actors are suing Disney, Kathleen Kennedy has been ranting at Bob Iger, questions raised about whether Kennedy is staying as planned...

Who is the guy with the theory that lizard people live in the center of the Earth? I think he sold a bunch of books.

I hope this doesn’t come across as a wet blanket, but IMHO; it’s much more important to identify crew than game loops you want to play Captain in. The ‘verse is gonna be full of disgruntled Captains who purchased expensive ships and never flew them because they never pulled a crew together...

I don’t think we’re going to have a problem. Avenger is very, very good at what he does, but he has tunnel vision and seldom understands anything other than what he sees. Worse still, he is so committed to weilding this huge difference between skilled and unskilled pilots, as Montoya says; he’s...

The trouble with the Marauder and King Crab is the backward folding knee. It makes for decent speed, but it causes the Mech to bounce severely which can affect aim. If you want to dominate in the Assault class, choose the Highlander, with Black Carapace for self healing, partial wings for...

For those who use or are interested in Virtual Table Top Role Playing Games, Foundry has taken it to the next level. Choosing Glass Cannon to showcase it was a good call. I’m a fan of their Pathfinder 2e campaigns. They pulled off this demo pretty well. So Table Top is not quite dead yet...

Lol! That is funny. Whenever we think seriously about conspiracy theories, we’re faced with the fact the powers that be, whatever they are; are not trustworthy. So even though I’m not given to conspiracies, I will own they must exist and likely we have no idea what they are. A few weeks ago...

Well, we all know every profession in game will have its economics reset at beta, so worrying about it now serves nothing. Hauling will always pay and hauling in the danger zone will pay much more than in safe spaces. Let’s not complain until they screw it all up. I’m most interested in the...
