  1. Shadow Reaper

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    Ask the SH owners around, I'm not sure but you may be able to put the Tracker turret in and the Tracker extended range fuel tanks. I'm not sure about the Ghost's Void Armor, but the idea behind the Hornet is just as with the US Navy F-18--true "multi-mission" capability. It should be far...

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    I believe you can still pull the turret off of the SH and fit some small cargo? Is that still a thing? Might work better for you than the Cutty if you just need a little space. And welcome to TEST!

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    If shields are going to work against ballistics, I wonder who will use them? Seems to negate their primary advantage. Ballistics are generally slower to target, have more limited range, overheat faster and run out of ammo, so why would anyone choose them if shields work against them? Have you...

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    Yes, but what is the alternative? Any game developer wants as many people to be able to play as possible, and people to pay as much as possible. The fact you can find ways to buy an expensive ship in game is encouraging, and no one wanting to earn an HH is going to do it with 4k missions...

    Cheap Polaris

    The HH is selling for $725 now in the CIG store, so my guess is the Polaris is going to go up over 41k. It was originally $750. I guess people got tired of waiting for them? But this is a great price...

    missile lock

    Yes, but how do you know when you can fire? Do you just keep closing and trying to fire? With the Eclipse, when you open the bay doors to shoot, your radar signature should go up, so you don't want to be trying again and again to fire. If there is no notification a weapon is in range, then...

    missile lock

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYauColnqiw Has anyone seen recent data as to the range of the various missiles and torps? I was watching this again, and was struck by the fact the Eclipse could lock a Tally at 27 km (time index 1:12) but the targeting retical did not appear, so I am...

    Anyone interested in helping test things? When 3.3.X is live I need a HH crew and attackers.

    If I may make a suggestion, I think we may also learn a lot if you're able to pull the lasers off one turret and replace them with ballistics. Even if you have to settle for S4 guns, the BEHR C-788 ballistic cannons do about 50% more damage than the S5 BEHR M7A lasers, and all that damage goes...

    Anyone interested in helping test things? When 3.3.X is live I need a HH crew and attackers.

    The HH would get owned by just 4 small fighters without its missiles. It is fast enough to lunge at whoever gets in front of it and go all guns on that target, but to treat with multiple opponents at once at range it needs the missiles. S3 missiles should be hard to evade, so if the HH keeps...

    Thinking about upgrading my starter ship but would like some advice.

    If cash is an issue, I suggest swap to a Mustang and see if that works better. If you decide you need to put in more money, borrow some ships here and see what you like by flying them. Depending upon your flight style, the Lancer might be a better upgrade than the Cutty. Depends how you...

    For details of astronomical phenomena, see the Loremakers Guide series. They always put nuggets of info in about interesting stellar phenomena and such. Hence systems like Null, are centered on a classical Cepheid Variable star. View...

    Squadron 42

    View: https://youtu.be/VppjX4to9s4 Love the F8 at time index 2:25 IIUC, still the only way to get an F8 is to play SQ42 through until the end and complete certain merit awards.

    [Video] - Citizencon crowd reaction to Kraken was wild!

    This ship can support medium class ships, like the Lancer, Tally, Connie, Cutty, Cat, Vanguards, etc. So far as I am aware, that's something you can't do with anything short of a Bengal. I'm pretty sure Carrack, Polaris, and Idris cannot fit any medium class ships. It will be interesting to...

    Polaris is Now a Limited Quantity Ship.

    By definition, capital ships are always and only warships. The Reclaimer is not a warship. Another part of the definition is that the main target of a cap ship is one of its own class, and since Corvettes usually attack larger vessels they are most often not considered cap ships. The...

    Due to popular request, we are getting a TEST KRAKEN! - Donation drive within.

    Has anyone seen info on the supposed "S8 manned turret"? I had no idea they decided to go above S6. When did this happen? I'm volunteering to man any turret, when I'm not busy playing silent stalker.

    Polaris is Now a Limited Quantity Ship.

    Keep in mind, that any small tending craft you might want to operate off a Polaris can be flown into theater seperately, and then manintained with the hangar so long as they fit. If you want to fly ten Hornets off that hangar you could do that. I dunno if they're really gonna make it limited...

    The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!

    I think they are restricting the gravity to the areas above the plates, so August has a good point. There is an artificial gravity generator, and it emits gravitons, but it doesn't create a force unless above the grav plates. The plates need pipes so if damaged in combat, sections of the...

    Does a dedicated Dropship need Quantum Drive or Jump Drive?

    The Vanguard is really not a dropship. The general platform is supposed to be "long range fighter". Personally I don't think they can get $330 for ship with no QD and I think they know this. Still no official word what to think on JD. I think they expect a firestorm when they come out on...

    Polaris is Now a Limited Quantity Ship.

    Is a good guess. I'm still hoping as they open it up the hangar gets a little bigger--same with the Carrack.
