    Yes! and it may well yet be. . . but the 'Claimer can't claim anything until it is beaten senseless by other means, such as an Arrester III, and it doesn't have missiles at all.

    MISC Reliant promo video

    I'm liking the ship more, but I have to wonder how they thought that would sell them. They certainly failed to show off the ships coolest bits. I'd say that was the worst promo vid I've seen, and the raven's vid was very disappointing too. Still thinking the Eclipse's vid was the best...

    Yeah, and there are other problems too. I'm not gonna be too concerned until we know more about radar, NPC pilots, and the actual size of the Polaris bay, but I think it is likely it will grow at least enough to fit up to 6 Razors, so although that's not a firm plan, that's a notion for a...

    According to the rumor above, two space turtles will fit the Polaris Hangar, though you'll chip the paint since they will be touching. I have thought about the Turtles quite a bit. The problem in identifying the best solution is first that we don't know what size the hangar will be and second...

    I'm guessing. It's only a guess. They don't need to all fit at once anyway. They only need to refuel. However, it does seem if they'll fit, they'll make large jumps much, much more quickly. The benefit of using them as stealth recon spotters for the Polaris Torps is they will coast...

    I don't have a fleet. I don't have a game package yet. I don't have a gaming machine and it wouldn't do me any good right now. I work more than 70 hours/week right now. Hoping that will end soon.

    I'm interested in combat, but not so much dogfighting. I am waiting to find out how useful the NPC pilots are. I'm interested in working with at least one other starting with a Hoplite or Sentinel, and adding Vanguards over time. If just a couple guys can lead an attack wing of Vanguards and...

    Best personal shuttle?

    Once the game is out in its full glory, with a whole wide universe to explore, travel times are going to become a serious consideration, and for the kinds of transport you describe I think you want both a very high quantum speed and range. You can find these here in a version that will no doubt...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    Did CIG endorse this particular sequence? Navies around the world have differed many times in how to name/describe ships. Destroyers have gone from the tiniest cap ships to the largest and most places between. Many designation tyes don't recognize things like "BattleCruiser", etc. I'm just...

    Piecing together a TEST Tuxedo

    For the cuff links I think you can go off theme a bit. Links are too small for checks. There are a kajillion oddball space-oriented cufflinks. I know, I just searched and was overwhelmed. You can actually get stuff that ranges from pictures of the Moon, spiral nebula, Star Trek, Star Wars...

    I was honestly not sure if I really needed an 890J...

    I agree completely, though I would note that there are some exceptions. If you want to build a strike team exclusively with Vanguards, you can likely do that here at TEST. However, if you wanted to send a strike team of all Eclipse, you could have trouble. Most players won't own that bird, so...

    Piecing together a TEST Tuxedo

    Yes, checks all the way. I would say one criteria for the jacket, go as blazing bright as you can find. Check bow tie and suspenders if you can find them. Any black dress shoes will work. The question is the top hat and cane. . . Certainly you need something to bonk people with who doubt...

    The New Reliants

    Unfortunately, though this notes the Tana has 2S2 plus 2S3 lasers, he doesn't note which are fixed or gimballed and the ships page is out of date. The Hardpoint calculator hasn't been upgraded yet. Can anyone here tell us what the Tana brings to the battle? How are the guns mounted, which...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    The Corsair side turrets are 2xS3 each. The front guns are 4XS4 gimballed, or 4XS5 fixed. That is a ton of firepower. If the Corsair rotates at a decent speed, it is going to be most deadly with fixed guns. If it is pokey, it will be a little less deadly with 4XS4 gimballed, but with the new...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    You can do that with any ship. You can install AI for turrets and they'll work. You can hire NPCs, each trained to one specific task only, and as turret gunners they'll work a little better than straight AI. You can hire PCs and they'll work better still. The problem is not the lack of AI...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    Wiki currently lists the 600i Explorer at $475. https://starcitizen.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_ship_and_vehicle_prices The Carrack will no doubt go to $500 before or when it is released. All the big ships are getting bigger. The 890 Jump is $890. I guess that thought that was funny.

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    I only left the 600i out of this comparison because of the leap in price, but it is fair to compare it against these three. Just note it is literally twice as expensive. Also, I think people will be pleased at what a great ship the Carrack is to "lounge around in". We don't have numbers for...

    The New Reliants

    Worth watching to the end. The original Tana was slated to have 10, S1 missiles. Looks like it now has 16, S2 missiles. That could make the Tana a serious contender, IMHO. Will be good to see some combat footage and compare the lock times against the gold standard which is the Vanguard...
