I think I've seen it before.

What is the ship in the foreground at T7:45?

View: https://youtu.be/MsDqdK3wsCk Though he says you can't launch more than one kind of missile at a time, I don't know if he checked voiceattack and alpha missile strike programs. It may be you simply can't send lock data to more than one kind of missile at a time. Certainly this is a huge...

I was thinking recently about how to best deploy and maintain minefields. Seems to me you'd want several Nautilus in formation laying down a grid, and even though they're pretty well armed I think you'd want some escort. Mine-laying missions are nice in that they can be planned well in...

IMHO, the most important use of Stealth is recon. Searching for something without being seen yourself is a powerful mode. There is no real "search" however in the planned missions. I think you will need either PVP for that, or the missions that will open up in things like the Sons of Orion...

I think CIG was clear that the largest ships can only use large jumps points. I think the Herc qualifies, at least until we hear differently. 70 m beam is wider than the Nautilus, Perseus and 890 Jump.

How much are mining and trade earning per hour for those who have a system down?

I take it you're hiring Carrack's to scan but you still have to haul the blow-me-upian ore back with the Mole? You can't transfer it safely?

The Herc does seem hard to beat but it costs a lot more and can't use medium jump points. Also looks like Herc pilots have a very hard time filling the hull with cargo that has good markup. As a result a lot of them are carrying many cargos at once and can't sell much of the cargo space most...

Can you explain what you mean by "opportunity cost"? Has anyone come up with an average time it takes to discover a find on this order? How common is it?

This looks great. Wish I could join you. I have already recommended it to a friend who doesn't read the forum as often as i do. Let me recommend you bring some Red Cutties and spawn to them, so if you buy the dirt nap you're back on mission right away. Lots of players use the Red for FPS...

I'm still hoping they'll do a quick pass on the bridge of all the Connies. I doubt they'll ever remove the struts--that's signature for most cargo-like ships. It's not a mistake. There aren't any Connie fighters and you don't need such an open view to launch missiles. What I want to see...

Meaning, you can simply eject the cargo because of the tractor beams? When I look at Lancer, Connie, Runner and Corsair, I still think the most practical to fly is the Lancer, just because she is so stealthy. I don't think it would be much a life living on one though. For comfort I think I want...

Interesting. It sounds like they didn't have any kind of plan for such an eventuality. Makes me wonder what the point was of an entire mining group if not shared defense. One of the things he did not mention is deception. In this instance, a good bluff can save an entire group. Saying more...

Kinda places it at the top of the solo-transport pack. I'm gratified they gave it lots more than the Lancer Max and StarRunner, or it would have faded to obscurity. Never gonna be quiet like the Lancer nor fast like the StarRunner, but if you want to fight your way out of trouble, seems the...

I think we should note that there are a couple different roles/uses for stealth and they differ in loadout. There's the standard stealth attack where you're looking at a single strike and then fight hot, and there are stealth situations/loadouts where you go back into stealth again and again...

Welcome back!

It's a bit more complex than this and I didn't understand it completely, but past tech has been on the order of 14, 11 and 9 nm/transistor. I think this is as large a breakthrough as it is because they're actually building transistors 3D, and when you average out the switch density you get this...
