Yeah, someone's gotta check see what happens when you try to sit down in one of the troop chairs while holding a cargo crate. That could be a doable thing, and easy to check. My guess is oyu ca;'t use the seat while holding a crate, but who knows?

It's much more powerful than that. The Polaris has cap ship radar, while the Tally is medium. Since Torps have greater range than guns, this makes an enormous difference in the way the ships can be used. Add to this that the Polaris can support spotting ships like the Ghost Hornet, Tracker...

It's important when comparing game transports to real world transports, to note that in the real world, we don't fly armor. SC is presuming we can, so the closest real world troop transport to things like the Hoplite, Prowler, and Valk are not helicopters, but APCs. MV22's don't include guns...

I'm always for flying what is in game. What is it you want to do?

Best analysis I've seen so far, and I think a great argument for cargo grav plates in the Vanguard, Prowler and the Valkyrie. This guy is so right that if the notion of protecting gameplay balance requiress flying civilian cargo craft into combat zones, the notion is utterly broken. Troops...

I think they will adjust so you can dodge in the most agile ships and not in the others. For fighter combat I think the Hornet is really the central figure, that all others are best measured against as agile or not. I'm pretty sure I have read this in the past.

Everyone using these T16000s, is there a mount for putting them right onto a gaming chair?

I was going to recommend marcsad2 to speak to this issue, and yet was surprised with his posting the notion of adding tablets. That is way kewl. I have wondered about the added cost of using a touchscreen for ages, and fact is you only need it for a few things. Shield management is a great...

If you don't mind the cargo bouncing around, the Prowler adds stealth to that selection and it doesn't cost much more. I'm still lovin' on the Prowler, 'cause I loves S5 guns. Escort with an Eclipse or three.

Agreed, but if you want to run cargo in a military vessel, the Carrack is a better choice, IMHO. It may be slower, but the huge scan radius will keep you safer, and it hauls a lot more.

Welcome back!

Why buy something you can loan offin' another? I can sell you a few though, them's got the cash when the time comes.

That's true, but they're not designed to operate singly. If you put say one sentinel, two Harbingers and three Hoplites together, you have a formidable strike force that can pretend to be something else, and could outfight a Polaris. The nice thing is even though they cost much more, they cost...

Yeah, but if you factor in the R&D costs for the F-35, and add that to the cost of each fighter, it will be the first fighter in history that costs more than $1B@. If we buy few enough of them, which seems likely because they suck so bad; they could go over $2B@. So ask yourself why we sell...

My opinion on the Kraken is, if you want a pocket carrier, now you have one choice. N'uff said. I think it is too early to have an opinion on the Valkyrie. We need to know about speed and how much a hit it can take. In general, I think the idea of a large target, slow dropship with lots of...

I think it is way too early to say the prices are excessive. In the past, players were flying missions every ten minutes and earning 7k@. If you were racing or hauling oyu could make more, and macsand2 broke 1 million credits pretty quickly. So how can you say this or that is overpriced? The...

I always suggest buy and fly what is available, rather than wait and wonder what a ship will be like. There is plenty of time to swap out stuff in the future. The Vangards are going to be hard to beat, especially in atmo.

I don't think it has cargo plates. Nothing listed, but if vehicles count as cargo, one could argue; whcih may be why nothing on the ships page. Wait until some speed numbers come in. If the Hoplite is twice as fast, could still be the better choice. Fighting from a transport is generally a...

so it has 4, S3 turrets, plus 2 fixed S2? Fun vid. Is expensive, but pretty much a beefed up Cutty. Medium gear all around, and has a jump drive so hard to see why it wouldn't be good for distance travel. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RmaaxMW2uQ
