    I guess it had to happen.

    Looks like an investment opportunity to me.

    Carrack as an assualt craft

    And of course the ultimate assault craft is the Idris, or perhaps the Marauder. Size does matter. If however a mission calls for speed and agility you should prefer the Hoplite, and if it calls for stealth, the Prowler. So there really is never a single best answer.

    I guess it had to happen.

    I can see franchising elder care facilities set up like this. https://www.pcgamer.com/japanese-gaming-bed/?fbclid=IwAR3f3hHnWsTddjG0Bmkhkri7t0RK-z85OvV24vvWTMTdKhNFEb9G42jCLxE

    Carrack as an assualt craft

    I think you could certainly do it! but I also think you'd do it better with any of the three Hercules, and you get tanks.

    AI Idris mission in 3.9?

    The Idris shield is over a million points, and 8k refresh. Each turret has 4k hull points. Needs an EMP, S9 or S10 torps or it will cut attackers to ribbons. I doubt you can put enough ships in an instance to kill an Idris without those resources. I would not want to try it without at least...

    We need to test this out

    There's no "cloak" tech coming. Stealth works by reducing ElectroMagnetic (EM), InfraRed (IR) and Radar Cross Section (RCS) signatures, same as in real life. There is already lots of sig reducing tech in game. In general, ships normally detect other ships primarily through EM sig. Hence why...

    Persistence

    I foresee a strong disturbance in the force, where traders are gonna trade like never before, and miners are gonna mine like never before. Question is, what can you actually buy with these temp credits? Can you buy ships and hold them temporarily? all the ships' components you could want, etc?

    Persistence

    Word is all the money and gear carried over from 3.8.1.

    In game tool

    That's great! and I was actually thinking of Marcsand2's ability to tell the difference in battle when I penned this. However, I doubt anyone can tell the difference between an S2 Mantis and an S4 Revenant from the sight and sound, nor has their very different ranges memorized. Fact is though...

    In game tool

    Anyone want to guesstimate what it would take to code a small tool that when you hit a key, takes a screenshot that includes incoming fire, and compares the color of the trace against a library to immediately determine what weapon is shooting at you, and tells you what it's range is? Seems like...

    We need to test this out

    I recall CIG saying they planned this feature--something like a "auto fleet formation" function. Everyone flies together at the speed of the slowest ship. Maybe this is the first seen of it and it's not in game yet? I always wonder whether if when a large ship opens a Q jump, if close escorts...

    Forget your stupid Carrack and Mercury, I want the updated Glaive!

    The more updated Glaives the better! Something's gotta be the F8 bitch hoe.

    DARPA Terminators

    View: https://www.facebook.com/iRafaRioz/videos/471442993517777/ It's hard to believe this is real. If it is, it is terrifying we're building terminators. At time index 1:45, that looks to me to be a Barret M82 sniper rifle. Fires a .50 cal antiaircraft round. Weights too much and recoils...

    What will be your Carrack loadout?

    I don't own a Carrack, and don't plan to in the future, since I am more a Polaris guy, but right now the Carrack is certainly my favorite ship in game so I'll pretend for a moment I was outfitting one. First thing. . .I believe in ballistics. I do not believe in shooting people's shields when...

    GIB Carrack!

    So it's moaning but not squirting? That's not very encouraging.

    GIB Carrack!

    Word is, the Sentinel's EMP makes short work of the Carrack, so don't plan to fly it without PCs on those turrets! You need manned turrets to make boarding difficult.

    GIB Carrack!

    Does the Carrack have missile countermeasures?

    GIB Carrack!

    Confirmation the Razor fits in both the Carrack hangar and garage, at time index 4:30 here: View: https://youtu.be/QalYGuyvR8I

    GIB Carrack!

    That's kind of you, but it's really not that much work. Stick any ship into Hardpoint and click a component, and all the other available components come up, so you scan for the stats you want, like lowest EM, or fastest IR cooler, or fastest shield refresh, and you quickly get a strong sense of...

    Full Carrack tour!

    Best Carrack tour I've seen. Congrats! I'd still like to see someone pace off the garage area. It looks to be about 6X6 meters plus about 5M ramp, which is not big enough for a Razor, but I was toid the Razor will fit. Would be great to see this confirmed.
