    What's your "one" ship?

    What sort of exclusion clause could be in an insurance contract to make cracked foundations an excuse to not pay? I am mystified.

    What's your "one" ship?

    Indeed. If you are sticking with the $150 limit, there is no doubt you should compare the Tally base and the Taurus. If they leave the Tally's shields and engines nerfed the way they have, the Conny's are a great choice and they haul more, but the Tally is only a little slower and it has a...

    What's your "one" ship?

    The Sentinel, or no I mean the Prowler, or no, I mean the Polaris!. . .no wait, the new 600i looks so great if it is fast and ohhhh. . . You SUCK asking that question!

    Hey, has anyone. . .

    . . .done the stuff here in this thread? Like what? Has anyone shot down missiles or torpedoes with distortion cannons or pyrobursts? Do we know if these area affect weapons can be used as defenses against missiles?

    600i Q&A

    If this ship sports the speed and agility of a fighter, then it is finally filling the place of the light transport we see in the Millenium Falcon--the one people want desperately. If it rotates like a fighter and can mount 6 S4 ballistic cannon, it will provide the most powerful pilot seat in...

    The Adventures of a Noob

    There is no doubt the Aurora and Mustang were designed to make you wish for a more capable ship, and then there is a new step in capability every $5 for a lot of ships! CIG knows what they are doing. Now that they have you, they will squeeze every penny from your wallet for many years to come...

    Countering Star Citizen "Spys"

    You can't eliminate nor stop spies. There are two tools for reducing their effectiveness. Our situation here at TEST is almost identical to that I face at work, and the solution is properly known as "Corporate Counterintelligence". CC generally operates in two spheres, passive and active...

    What should come next?

    Yes. Although it shares much in common with the other three, it has a different frame so cannot swap out the modular interior the way the Warden, Harbinger and Sentinel can. Personally I hope they change this and give all 4 ships the larger entryway of the Hoplite. It kinda ruins the set and...

    What should come next?

    I have still heard no ruling whether the seats in the Hoplite can be replaced with cargo and holding cells. If you can put three cells along one side, I would certainly choose the Hoplite over the Blue, since it is significantly faster, can take a much harder hit, and arguably has better...

    What should come next?

    The Avenger does have the benefit that is it much faster and easy to handle with no NPCs nor AI. The Cutty needs someone in the turret.

    Hurricane Irma Thread - Florida, Georgia, Alabama - Be Safe TESTies

    Yeah, turned cat 5 this morning--sustained winds of 175 mph. Many meteorologists have suggested we may need a category 6 for this one. The worst case scenario is what I saw late yesterday pop out of one of the models. . .it strikes Miami head-on and moves directly North, lashing the entire...

    My nerf gun project is complete!

    Hey, those LadySmiths are pretty potent stuff. .38 with +P+ ammo is quite a jolt in such a tiny airweight package. If she wants pink I say more power to her, just so long as she never points it at me.

    My nerf gun project is complete!

    S&W has been selling Pink LadySmith's for decades. Apparently the coloring does put some people at ease.

    600i Q&A

    I don't think of it as a stretch at all. It is twice the size, twice the mass, and twice the price of the Connie, yet carries less cargo and has smaller turrets. Seems obvious to ask what you get instead of what comes with a Connie. I dunno what makes you think 5-10 years but that's not even...

    600i Q&A

    It's the perfect Bounty Hunting ship for a smallish crew of about 5. Looks like there will be room aboard for all manner of tricks and this is the boat to get tricked out with some real surprises. Mines? Decoys? EM warfare suite? Several S2 sensors? Holding cells. Nice accommodations for...

    600i Q&A

    Looks like they will put 4 TR5 main engines. If it can maneuver like a fighter, I will be interested. . .doesn't mean I will pay for one.

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    Chris has addressed that specific situation several times now and said it will not be possible. Somehow they will track the ship and you will not get the insurance payout. They have to do this or quickly CIG would no longer be able to sell ships, which is their bread and butter. Pirates have...
