The Apollo will get its ass kicked in any real confrontation. if your plan is to go into battle with the Apollo, plan to cut and run. Faster is therefore better. Forget the missiles and guns. If your plan is to do medivac, faster is better. Look at the Vanduul fighter speeds and you'll get...

I think the butt scratcher may be a previously sited race called "stormtrooper" but that has had his arms half ripped off by a wookie.

I'm not familiar with any statements that rare ships will be available in game only. I know CIG has said there will be rare components available in game only and not for sale (until a player tries to sell them.) That seems to me to provide a great balance. Even a cooler, if it does the job...

Congratz!

I know a dozen people who intend to play but would never spend their time with an unfinished product, so I think there is a much larger market out there than most people know. Though I don't know how many WOW players etc. there have been, I would look to that kind of number, and I suspect it is...

The big ships take a lot of time, but they knew this and started years ago on them.

The fact they were pushed back does not concern me nearly so much as the stated reason--they're allocating additional resources to the Vanduul ships. They have already had troubles with moving people on and off ships. The Carrack hallways were all screwy because they had one team building one...

Yes. The Rangers are superior in that they are shorter than the X1 Force, so may fit in ships like the Hoplite better. Rangers do not however carry shield generators, which have proven to be especially effective against FPS fire. Also, grav bikes ride over boulders and such (see the various...

We don't know much about planetary exploration yet, but it is well to keep in mind it is possible, if not most likely; that multiple X1 Force bikes will be much more efficient than loading everyone up together in a rover. You can then be scanning muiltiple locations at once. So don't assume...

You may find the Apollo can be better outfitted for exploration than the Corsair. I've been focused on it a lot lately and there are many questions to be answered, but in short--it has that big ass Large radar. The Aquilla does not even have Large radar. None of the Connies, Cutties; Lancers...

Use Hardpoint: https://hardpoint.io/#/customize/1YQDJAAAAAAAAEGkfG8inwVAGxZ68o-SyAG1IHdgNALABBNz31KcyA Presuming you will be flying close quarters, I would put Havocs in the nose, Sledge IIs on the wings and try to fly with the Slipstream reactor. If it gives enough power for all systems, you...

Noooooo. . .not the Prowler!

Power, in this game; will always be about your friends. If you want to explore and have friends enough for a Corsair and an Apollo, get a Carrack or a Polaris. IMHO.

What do you intend to do with the ship?

Yes. Which have med beds? Is there one in the 600i or Caterpillar for instance? Could the Cat carry a med module with several beds?

How many ships in game have beds? Beerfarer? Reclaimer?

Do we know how many PCs can set any particular bed as a respawn point?

I think the smaller and faster the support ship is, the closer it can go to a conflict area once the area has been cleared. The Cutty Red has just 4 med beds. I'm hoping the Apollo will have closer to 10. The Endeavor could carry closer to 100, but it will be dangerous to bring it close to a...

Agreed! No one wants a support ship in a fire fight. I think though, when you consider deep pentration missions into Vanduul , pirate or slaver space, where there is expectation of boarding or terrestrial FPS play, you need to be able to heal NPCs so you don't lose them, and spawn PCs in situ...

I respect and admire the Endeavour, but it will never be part of a stealth incursion package. At best, medium ships will go where others rightly fear to tread. You need to be able to hide to do deep incursions. We're going to go murder Vanduul, because the story says they deserve to be...
