Yeah. Even if you keep the easiest distinctions between fighters and bombers, there are other categories that may or may not be included in "multi-mission". Wild Weasel EM Warfare like the Growler are "multi-mission", but in space you have other tasks you do not have in the air, such as...

I don't think it matters much what class we would assign any particular fighter, since whatever rule we have for this we will find exceptions to; but I do think categorizing by mass is simple and insightful. If we leave dedicated bombers like the Tally and Eclipse aside, but include...

I'm a Sen fan but don't know what its range will be like. The Dur is nice, but is a flying target. The 315P looks like it will be customizable enough to make it feel like home, and it can outrun almost anything. One key issue though, is what is the scan range. If the Dur scans twice the...

. . .that can run SC would be what? Friend wants something used on EBay.

Counted. Drop a note in the Privateering thread in the professions folder so your name appears. There are actually a lot of ships in that price category so I left them aside, but yeah, if you fudge $25 you can get a much longer list. Some Vanguard and Conny as well as the Tally. I think this...

next costume:

Yeah well, the last costume was 10 years ago so don't hold your breath. I do so want some star marine armor though, or this at left, or Halo. Or something that started out like Halo and moded to look like the pirate heavy. With 3D printing I'm sure it will hit the market quickly.

Next time I do a costume I am planning to pick up a cheap, used electric airsoft gun and install glowy bits. The full-auto feature is nice since the gun will actually appear to fire, and if the slide racks it will reveal the glowy bits between shots...

Another way to dress up a Nerf, airsoft or other prop gun is to place a light stick or baton inside. Especially if there is an open slide, where looking in would reveal a nice glow in your favorite color (YELLOW on BLACK!) you can give an otherwise ordinary prop that look of a blaster. I have...

Uses "kosher" salt, which is the same stuff we put on the roads when it ices outside, and gobs of hot mustard.

Is there some unsuspecting innocent you can spread your addition to with a gaming package, and sign him/her up as your squire or some such? Bringing in players from outside the game is your best bet for loyal subordinates.

Yeah. The fact you can buy a Carrack for $350 is what makes the $425 for the Prowler so hard to take. If you are really going to do comparisons between ships, staying in the same price category would be advisable. So for prices around the Carrack you have: Caterpiller-- $295 Scythe--...

Privateer--Hoplite Unless you want to take the lead with the Sentinel, or be the missile master with the Harbinger, most will probably find the ship that does the boarding is the place of action, fame and fortune. Later when stealthy ships are available, the Prowler and Eclipse will replace...

Buy a Hoplite, Sentinel, Warden or Harbinger and come privateering with us. Then you can own whatever we decide needs liberating. Seriously, for game start, joining a group of Vanguard raiders is the best way to own whatever you like without paying for it. Pay for NPCs and upgrades, not...

I intend to own both and pay for neither. That is why my starter home will be a Prowler. Before the Prowler comes out I'll fly a Sentinel and a Hoplite (loaner for the Prowler) on wing. That and some friends is all you need to own a StarG, a Connie, a Tally, a Crucible, a BMM, a Carrack, a...

Has anyone checked to see if the Ursa fits in the Lancer?

I have never heard of being able to use a Hull series as a pocket carrier. I think there are a couple different dynamics to consider. In aviation (which is our closest comparison) some craft need to be refueled on a carrier and some can be refueled in flight. In flight refueling requires a...

Yes, they have said less maneuverable in atmo without wings, and more maneuverable with wings. They have also said there can be some special maneuverability based upon the propulsion system so the Prowler is supposed to have remarkable hovering over land that one supposes most ships will not...
