Looks hopeless. That calculator looks worse than the other. 400i with FR-86 charging has an EM of just 12k? If that's so I'll take two. Makes no sense at all. I think during 3.14 CIG stopped caring about the numbers they report both inside and outside the company and the calculators are...

There are quite a few ships that look good on paper but don't have enough power to adequately supply all their needs at full draw. I'm not sure the explanation, but it may concern power draw request time, and/or the fact that erkul does not calculate reactor power used during afterburner (which...

The Redeemer likewise looks like one reactor is not enough for all that's going on, and just one cooler makes it appear it would overheat under stress. Is that so? Can you tell us the top speed of the Redeemer? How do you think it accelerates from SCM to top speed compared to the HH, Carrack...

Note that laser cannons have half the projectile speed of laser repeaters (700 m/s instead of 1,400 m/s), so the distance between the pip and target will be twice as much if you switch to cannons, and the target has twice as much time to change direction and avoid the shots. Though cannons are...

Thanks for the vid! I had not seen that before. Does anyone know when we expect Pyro in the PU? Part of it was scheduled for this quarter and the rest for next, so I don't understand what is what. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/progress-tracker/deliverables/zyh810y2atgf6

The thing that most bothered me about the 600i was that CIG routinely shows a lack of anticipation toward storage. None of the ships have enough storage for weapons, armor, etc. All that empty space behind the three seats on the 600i bridge is enough for an entire armory, and having an armory...

I think Richard is right to hesitate to guess about the Liberator, but CIG has said quite a bit about it--enough that Boredgamer makes it an open question whether the Lib is actually OP. I doubt it's that. I don't know why CIG has a thing against carriers that can carry medium ships...

I'm sure they designed the misadventure part in. They didn't discover it.

So maybe sell it and replace it with the Ursa? Seems like the choice is really missiles or guns.

The Lib's pads are wider then the Hornet, so at least 25m. The Eclipse is only 20m long, so odds are excellent it will fit crosswise with its wings up. Depends who you're hunting. If you're hunting across Vanduul space, you'll want to launch from the closest, safe, quiet UEE space and that...

Watch the tanks vid above. The frame rates seemed fine to me. Here's another vid of the Carrack in ops, with Katie handing over her ship and crew to a new Captain--her last command of that ship as she moves on. View: https://youtu.be/T7K0Y7SfNQE Interesting point, that the new Captain...

Mil Sim is especially formidable because they use the specialized jargon of real military groups. Specialized jargon and methods develop out of need, and enable super-enhanced communications. You'll note much of what they say to each other is only barely intelligable unless you have that...

What don't you like about the G12?

I like that she's a real student. For an org leader to go train with other orgs takes some humility and is really excellent leadership. I think she singlehandedly brought the Skunks over from ED. There seems to be a lot of them, and combined with the Raccoons and Pathfinders, she has...

I am still pondering daily all the uses for the Liberator. I would certainly want to fly the Eclipse off the Liberator. You're right though, I don't think there is a single light fighter than has the range of the Eclipse. I think instead of teaming it with a fighter that has similar range...

Epic tank battle: View: https://youtu.be/jCRzuG8H8og?list=RDCMUCbcYPE10gBDIYzFyFX2WI7w Given they have the connections to get in these battles, and we certainly have the players and equipment superior to them, maybe we should see what we can do for each other? How did they get that sort of...

I agree completely, and I know there are already some groups who play and train regularly at TEST. I haven't heard tell of any super tight "mil sim" groups. The Skunks, Pathfinders and Raccoons are all interesting groups for the depth of their sim work that we can learn from--hence my posting...

More Katie--the Skunk Works training with another org, the Raccoons, using grav bikes to board ships from the stern of a Carrack. I think this would be done better with the smaller Nox and better still from the X1 force when it comes out. Makes me lament--we still don't know if the Nox will...

I've been watching a lot of Katie of late, just because she does such great narrative over her vids. I stumbled blindly onto her episodes with crews handling larger craft. Without any brutal military precision, her team handles Retalliators, Hammerheads and Carracks to deadly effect, and her...
