CIG had said they weren't going to do any more modular ships because they don't make enough on them, and the fact they still haven't released modules for the vanguard, Tally etc., does lend support to that notion. So yeah, it looks to me the Galaxy was an old design that was passed over and...

The Drake way

The Polaris will be out before the Perseus or the Galaxy, and I think once players taste that ship they'll be addicted as like no other.

10% faster than a 325A? That is really, really fast for a starter ship. So ugly it has an appeal. Need to know more.

Precisely correct. CIG has been relentless in designing so that every ship has an Achilles heal. Virtually every ship has a weakness. It's no surprise this ship has one or more too. If you want a ship with no significant weaknesses, you need to go up to the Idris. It was designed around the...

A Frigate is generally considered the smallest "ship pf the line", meaning the smallest fleet warship. It is one step up from a Corvette. The Idris was originally planned to be a Corvette, but its size went up and up during early design until be finally was reclassified as a Frigate.

My bad. The Idris is in the 9-Tails events. Technically not a bounty mission. Point is most often it is not shooting back, and to my knowledge we’ve never seen its guns manned by players. I think people will be surprised to find how effective the Idris turrets are when properly manned. Em, well...

Agreed with all said, but it does beg the question of why stop at a 5 man crew. If you go to the 11 man crew of the Polaris, you get all the benefits of all the modules for the Galaxy at once, with the possible exception of cargo size; you get a much larger vehicle bay (I believe with ramp...

The Slayer cannon on the Tonk has an alpha strike of 18,500, but recall it only fires once every five seconds, has a slower than normal projectile speed and much shorter range than other S5 weapons. And yes, one of the releases says S5 turrets, but the ship is clearly wearing S5 guns in both...

I have to wonder what this thing would be like in close ground support, hovering over the battlefield with 6 Slayer cannons doing over 100k damage with each strike. The turrets would be able to take out 3 Novas each shot. If the module allows for Tonk transport, this may be the ultimate hot...

So, it appears 2 twin S5 guns on the sides with twin S5 coverage and a third chin mount, all of which have good angles forward. First 6S5 forward gunship. I cannot see why this should have a larger crew than the Perseus.

View: https://youtu.be/0CD8oRvajgA "Modules will include weaponry, refueling, medical, transport and will extend in the future. . . " Crew of 6, size 3 shield, 3S5 turrets, 2S4 missiles, bike hanger, 512 SCU. Described as an industrial Perseus, around Carrack Size. Looks to me to be the...

I dunno. I haven't seen anyone play a good character in years. Certainly, there are none in Icewind Dale. BTW, the proliferation of deliberately evil characters is just as telling. Look at Critical Role. Certainly they are playing to the audience, just as you suggest. They're very...

Best visuals I've seen to date. Gotta say the Corsair calls to me. I absolutely love the elevator to the roof. View: https://youtu.be/dPxItZ8qIew

I didn't call you "Nazis adjacent" nor anything else. I offered the standard response to the notion that morality is relative, which is to show an example we can all agree is immoral. I did not make up the illustration of the Nazis death camps. You can find it in any philosophy text on...

I'm impressed with the images. I'm sure someone will tell me how they're unimpressive, but I think watching this on a 110" projection screen would make me pee myself. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3VxGTH8ReY
