Okay. Believe what you like, but tell me; why do you think they refuse to put cargo plates in so many ships?

Hey look, it's not my statement. You can do a search. Chris and the devs have said this many times. The discussion is not meant to be concerning "multi-role". The original question (forgive if I confused it) is "general purpose". There are no general purpose ships in SC. You can find a...

Touche, and you could make the same argument for the Carrack, but note you are still swapping out modules to create different variants. Sans this, it would not be multi-role. You can call the Battlefield Upgrade Kit something similar, but in that case you are actually swapping the ship instead...

I think you'd be much better off not characterizing any ship as "multi-purpose". CIG has said officially many times there are no multi-purpose ships. The game is designed specifically to avoid multi-purpose ships. If it had multi-purpose ships everyone would buy just one ship. What you're...

All explorers have big fuel tanks and upscale scan. The Corsair is one of those. The Cutty is not and only one of the Lancers is. The Avenger does not have an explorer class variant. The 300 and Reliant do, and they are called that becasue they have upscale scan and fuel tanks. The only...

I could not have said it better myself. What do we care it has so many guns if when you try to use them you get your ass shot off? That's why I lost interest in the 600i. It's just a flying target, and way too easy too hit. If I am doing exploration, I want a ship that can defend itself; and...

Has anyone tried to use their gimbals to giude their fixed guns? Say on the Sabre, can you use the autotargeting to guide your flghter so all 4 guns come on target? Does the display actually tell you where in the box the gimbals are pointing?

This ship is really growing on me. I can't believe no one asked about its speed and maneuverability as compared to the Connie and Mercury. Makes me think they were dev written questions. The players aren't really so stupid they wouldn't ask, are they? If this thing rotates like a Connie (25...

Trust me, you want to read this very badly...

That is essentially correct. Smaller ships run "picket" just as soldiers on the battlefield do--to warn of the enemy's approach and also to intercept incoming torpedoes and fighters. Corvettes often do this. The thing with corvette class ships (and they're often called other tings, like...

HH is designed as a patrol boat, not a ship of the line. You can argue whether corvettes are authentic ships of the line, becasue experience shows if you want to win a battle, you can put them in fleet engagements, but if you want to win a war, you do not. That ambiguity, caused by the fact...

Don't be sorry! That's not a crazy request. That's a very cool request! If you need a sexy female voice speaking English with a Russian accent, let me know and I'll ask some people who would be happy to earn some voice credits. I suspect they'd do it for free so long as it is not very long.

If you get stuck without enough Q fuel to get to a refueling station, there are smaller ships that can come to your aid than the Starfarer. I think though, if you run out of fuel you're stuck until someone comes to refuel you. The opportunities for price gouging are going to be pretty huge...

Woodward's group at Cal State Fullerton is working through their NIAC Phase II funding right now, and NASA is changing the NIAC funding mechanism to allow for Phase III funding for the first time, so they can continue to support Woodward's work. Is very exciting. It appears NIAC Phase III will...

Okay so, there are actually three uses for the quantum drive? You can jump normally. You can jump "orbitally" which is much lower field, shorter distance--a kind of "microjump", and you can use the drive to open a wormhole and make a much longer jump. Makes sense. I'd like to learn more...

I have two friends at church who work for USCG. They both jump out of perfectly good helicopters into the sea during hurricanes. Talk about nuts. . .

The IR here is 3X higher than the Hardpoint calculator says it (actually, the Kore) should be, and really the calculator has more reasonable numbers. 10k in standby is too high. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKV0pAw9Iw

They're due in three months, brother! I could just pee myself--which is a reason to drag your leg around, drool out the corner of your mouth, and play pirate. Pirates do that. It's like somoeone was cheerleading and shouted "give me a P !!!" and well. . .

Looks like a Yellow Jacket to me. Pretty awesome.
