I think you're playing a semantics game. You're hypothisizing people made up their own criteria and are thus justified in shitting all over the intention of the contest. Sorry, that's not okay. That's trolling. Neither of us are in a position to psychoanalyze why any one person participated...

No. My contention is that the ARGO is not the "favorite flyable" ship of anyone. Voting for it was thus intended as a bad joke that makes a mockery of the competition. As to the argument that some people can't afford expensive ships like the Carrack, please note that Carracks need crew...

We will have to respectfully disagree. I get what you're saying. I have been thinking like this though, for 35 years. Anonymity brings out the best, and more often the worst in people. Think about it. If a IRL friend of yours was a pad crasher, you'd smack him on the head and tell him to...

Okay so, how about the Avenger Stalker? Blazing fast SCM and burn, big ramp, good guns and great stealth--small chips can't see it past 2.5 km. Easy to handle in atmo. . . The Stalker is significantly faster than the Titan, and quieter. Problem is limited range, but that just means oyu need...

I dunno who thought of this, but it is a spectacularly good idea that gives huge extended reach to munitions at almost no development cost. Would be great to see this in SC when bombs start to fall...

I've been curious about the elevators, since it sounds like the 400i uses 2 or 3 of them and thus has no ladder or ramp. Should be interesting to see what that's like. It should be higher off the ground so no kneeling to get underneath. I'm told the 300's are so low you can't even get a Nox...

The ARGO is useful, if you need to move cargo or prisoners from one cap ship to another, it's probably the cheapest vehicle for that, and can fit in tiny space aboard your cap ship. It's in SC vids years before it was released. Thing is, we don't even have the cap ships yet, and why would you...

The C8X is a lot of ship in a tiny space. Had they made it fast, I think lots of people would use it.

No one wants to be a wet blanket smothering other people's fun. It's not as if I hadn't considered whether I'm too sensitive to this issue. Let me explain a moment why I think I'm not. During the late 80's and early 90's I was both an undergrad and graduate student in philosophy of...

I hope you're right. I can't help though, thinking of trolls as defined by the term "chaotic evil" in the D&D tradition. Chaotic evil does evil for the sake of evil, with no gain to be found. They ruin anything good for no reason other than that they can. Unlike lawful evil, which does evil...

I am disappointed that this competition attracted so many trolls, intent to subvert even the simplest playtime competition. It bodes evil for the game, that there are so many trolls they could come close to winning the competition. It bodes worse that these spoiled...

The ARGO has no Q Drive.

Another decent smuggling vid. Note that the 315P not only has 50% more cargo and higher speed than the Titan, but it has 40% more quantum range, which means oyu get to choose that faster drive. View: https://youtu.be/pgrIGWMn_WI

What makes the best jailbreak pickup ride? Anyone here who has done a jailbreak, what did you use for the getaway? What are the prime requisites? I keep seeing Carracks despite they seem ill suited to the task. I'm thinking fast, quick loading, easy to handle in atmo, fast, maybe stealth...

You know if they had put decent cooling into the ARGO it could have been used as a stealth boarding ship, but they didn't even put S1s in. It's like they said "lets make the shittiest ship ever" when they designed the thing.

More great analysis on 3.15: View: https://youtu.be/UQnLAy4D-yo

Given the Argo beat out the Carrack, I think we can all ignore this entire process, as corrupted by those who made a joke of it. The top three rated ships certainly should be Carrack, C2 and MSR and the C2 only because it is still fresh. Carrack really should be second, IMHO.

Happy fifth! Isn't there a rule, on your fifth you buy the house a round? I'm sure there's a rule somewhere. . .

Welcome!

Yes, it's been a problem since the mission was first released, but as I said it's easy to avoid. Don't try to shoot over the glass even though they are doing it. I have wondered if this doesn't reflect the "defense bonus" CIG has mentioned they intend to place in all boarding missions. Somehow...
