  1. Shadow Reaper

    Movie trivia time.

    Hey, you need to quote good lines. None of this pansy stuff. Where is this from? "Jamie, by land or sea you can always rely on Tom Blue for wrongdoin' of any nature." Makes me laugh every time.

    Consolidated Outland Pioneer

    Yeah. And I just remembered the big mining platform is supposed to be the Orion. So not a space exploration ship, but intended for exploration, and not a mining platform. Doesn't have the colonization feel for me and I would think it is too small. Maybe something like a flying garage bay...

    Consolidated Outland Pioneer

    I don't see how to get the size of the ship from the pic. If we knew the top Sabre were the same distance from the viewer as the Pioneer, we could measure. Looks to me the Pioneer is roughly 18X the length of the Sabre or 468 meters. That's 3X the length of a Reclaimer or Polaris. I don't...

    Vanduul Combat Tactics

    Military Intelligence has verified that the Turnip Story was planted as a form of disinformation intended to protect clandestine Vanduul rutabaga fields. Vanduul Harvester spacecraft have been tracked to their source hauling hollandaise sauce and burpy bibs.

    >7,700 kills! Hey man, you need to be training our Master Sargents for boarding actions.

    Avocado 3.0 is out.

    I have a strong stomach but I'm getting queezy. . .

    in The Pit

    Crying in the beer is not allowed. Not allowed! Freekin' Canadians just don't get we don't want warm beer. Given I will be starting so late, I'm sure my piloting skills will be very low, so I am hoping to start in the second seat of a Sentinel. People always think about piloting, but the...

    in The Pit

    I think the Redeemer will be faster than the Vanguards, but right now it is way short in the missile department, the turrets are too small, it won't be handy in atmosphere and has no EM warfare capability which is I think where all the fun "sneaky tricks" are gonna be found. OTOH, for all these...

    in The Pit

    I think about this often, and I am not opoosed to using a mouse. Sounds like if you have gimbaled weapons that would be the best choice, but I am no longer convinced the Vanguard needs gimbals, and the step up in firepower from fixed is most welcome. Have you flow the Vanguard since the last...

    Tally rear living module

    I've bought hundreds of things on EBay over the years. Is there something especially risky about buying SC stuff there?

    Vanduul Combat Tactics

    Has anyone witnessed the Vanduul fighters using their armor to tear through UEE craft by ramming them with the reinforced blade portions of their ships? Is that a thing?

    Tally rear living module

    Has anyone seen this? I just happened upon one on EBay, and was surprised by the graphic. Looks pretty nice. Looks like a decent Merc team ride, though I would still pick the Redeemer, and 600i if I didn't need the extra cargo space.

    Everything Hangers... Hiccup*

    I think the plan is just as you describe, save that in the case where a player is flying a ship with no bed, if they log out and do not return within a set time period (to be determined), when they log back in they and their ship will appear in some port or hanger. There has been discussion of...

    Shame Owl had to sell his Reclaimer. Would be great to take a team out and see if you can kill 100 Vanduul fighters in a day and recover 10. Could be big cash in that.
  16. Shadow Reaper

    in The Pit

    When you take out a target that way, does it go all boomie, or does what's left sit available? I have long wondered whether it will be possible to take fighters by putting breaching charges on the cockpit. If that is possible, Vanduul fighters ought to survive when the cockpit is destroyed...

    Avocado 3.0 is out.

    IIRC, the Reclaimer is supposed to be released with 3.0. Not sure how long the Avacados need to test before release but I think it is just a few weeks?

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi - trailer!

    One of the many things I love about SW is they give the bad guys the coolest ships. Darth Maul had that Sienar Infiltrator, which was one of my all-time favorites. Looks like they gave Kylo Ren some mix between the Advanced TIE Interceptor and the Infiltrator. I love those Sienar products. ...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi - trailer!

    I'm pretty sure George signed away all say, so it is now officially in the hands of the Evil Empire. I think though anyone with some common sense knows they should stick with as much of the signature format as possible and look for novelty only in the story, its characters, etc. Sounds like...

    in The Pit

    Against small targets like Vanduul fighters I expect you are just shooting at whatever you can hit. That's to be expected. I think what you aim at on a larger target will change depending upon your intentions. If I were planning to take a Polaris intact through boarding, what I would target...
