My bad, but you get my point. Aegis doesn't have a carrier. That is the proper way to think of what a capital ship is. CIG confuses the issue becasue there are so many saps who will buy a ship merely because someone called it a cap ship, or claimed it has cap ship components. The 890i is NOT...

Yes, but if the crew are NPCs, they won't be skilled at more than one thing. If you want to use NPCs for protection, best you hire a pilot for whatever fighter you have, or a turret gunner. If you have PCs for crew, great to multi-task them, but I think we are going to see a lot of small and...

BG noted the graphic on the announcement is of the tails of the Eclipse, so has hypothesized it will be an Aegis carrier. That sounds very reasonable to me since the Polaris, Javelin and Bengal are all RSI and Aegis ought to be after that market. View...

In that case I recommend you give them different names so others can tell which you're talking about. ::hic::

Okay. So is there some connect between game dates and RL dates? This year is 2949?

If you have the pilot for an escort, aren't there a lot of other ships to choose from defense? I can't see why you'd want a P52 if you have the pilot for a Sabre, etc.

It doesn't say August. It says April, 2949, which is just a few weeks form the issuance of the note. I dunno what that means IRL time. How did you get August?

I was wondering about that too. According to the stats page, it should be much smaller than the Polaris, and <1/3 the mass. Obviously something has changed from its early appearance. I doubt it is close to the Idris, since that would be something like 8X the early mass projection, but it does...

I'm not a 300 series fan, but I love the new versions. Makes me rethink them.

Personally I'd prefer ships we can own and fly like Corvettes.

Pegasis is an RSI ship: https://starcitizen.tools/Pegasus

I'm surprised the Javelin is so much larger than the Kraken.

Oh, ands since the Avenger rework, it now hauls half the cargo of the Avenger, instead of twice as much.

Yeah, the 300 series is only pushed back to a 3.5x, so could be in just a few weeks. Won't be that long and apparently the 300i is working. I'm excited they put the beds back in the Reliant. That bird is fun even if it is cannon fodder, but they nerfed it terribly when they decided to make it...

Edit from above: the 300 series has been pushed back :-( , and the Reliant now has 2 beds! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_R_4dgvM0U

Just to remind for those who are into exploration, the 315P rework and Reliant Sen are both due for release with 3.5. Expect the Reliant update to be big, since no one wants what CIG made first time out. I'm hoping they put the bed back in and made it long range. Also due with 3.5 is the...

They did say from the startt the ting that would make it out as Drake was the size and number of guns. It is a smuggler's version of a glass cannon. Expect it to be fragile. I'm not a fan of snubs either, but it's important to understand ships this size absolutely cannot have hangars. There's...

You're looking for a "general purpose" ship to run some cargo and explore the 'verse. The Corsair is cheapest, and has the most guns, but the least cargo space. The Mercury is probably the fastest, not much more than the Corvair in price, and has all those lovely computers. The Aquila cost...

I have the same misgivings about asymmetry, especially when it is tacked on and not seemingly a result of form following function, but like Toys, the shape is growing on me. I do love this size ship. I haven't heard whether it is really faster than the Conny, Mercury and 600i. What's with...

Supposed to be a new variant of Sabre?
