I am curious if there is anyone here who understands the cores issues as would relate to Software Defined Radio and Cognitive Radio. One can look at what is availalbe in SDR COTS items, but in designing next generation power systems capabillities for things like radar and encrypted UHF...

The Lancer carries almost double the cargo of the Cutty, and almost 4X as much in the Max version. It is important to note that if you are doing short hauls in safe space, you really do want the largest freighter you can buy since that will generate your profits. The Hull series should be the...

CIG has said in the past that the larger the missile the slower it is and the easier to evade, but the harder to fool with counter measures. So indeed you did exactly what they suggest against the larger missiles and torps, continue flying like a rabid weasel. My question as well. I would love...

And if you haven't fl;own the main gun on swivel you may like to do that. Even though she rotates slower than short range fighters, the swivel does not. The best way though to cope with the slower rotation seems to be to keep distance.

There is a lot we don't know about weapons in general, even those we use every day. It is a trivial thing to mount an M7A laser on the nose of any Vanguard and see if you can hit stuff at 7km. If you don't have enough control to hit an opponent at that range, there is very little point in...

We should have a single thread stickied to the top where you guys can all give advice. I am hoping to build a PC for the first time in a decade. I currently use a Mac, and don't game; but intend to in another couple seasons. I am not planning to use the machine for much other than SC. One of...

Wow. I know where to go when I buy my next system. You guys are amazing.

According to the report of others here, the stats page on the Banu is completely wrong. Apparently two of the S3 mounts are not guns but pylons, which means good missiles. Some of the Vanguard carry S3 missiles, others do not, so you need to specify which Vanguard when comparing. Also the...

I used to be in love with the Reliant line, especially the Tana, but the things that spoiled it for me are the poor handling and explodiness. They do not maneuver well and cannot take a hit. Combined with their short range and sub-par weapons load-out, I think they make great targets. It...

If you want to check out the Cat, I suggest compare it to the StarG. With such a tiny price difference between them, and the StarG actually faster, more heavily armed, and carries 5X the cargo, I can't fall in love with the Cat. I would take a StarG, Carrack or Reclaimer over one for a home...

I have always recoiled from the linearity of the Connies, as they seem boring and unsurprising to me; but they all have amazing stats and flexibility for such a small ship. You can put lots of people in, or fly it alone. You can haul, scan, fight. . .really it would be simpler to list what the...

No, like SPACE HERPES! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-me2inj1nNw

I would not put money on that. No matter how one reworks the Cutty, the Connies carry a LOT of S4 weapons. A Cutty might not even last long enough to get in range. Not saying guile cannot succeed where the ships are unmatched, but the Connies are pretty tough nuts to crack.

If I had to start with one cheap ship it would be the Warlock. The current iteration of the EMP generator does not knock the Warlock out when you fire it. I dunno what that is all about but that is all full of fun, and should make it easy to add several other ships in a single day. The hard...

Thanks!

I think this is the second time someone reminded me the ships page is so wrong here. You know, whether a fighter carries missiles or not, and what guns, shields etc. it carries are actually things you ought to know before BUYING one. Sometimes I could just scream with all the stupid on the...

I think it is true that for a ship to be a general purpose escort, it needs to be long range, which leaves you with the Banu Defender or one of the 4 Vanguards. The Defender will shine if you like to joust, meaning close on an enemy and hit them point blank range; since it can carry 6...

Great stuff here! I think when the entire scan system is in place, meaning they have EM, IR and RCS all working as intended, people will generally tend to scan for EM and IR passively to detect other ships. RCS pulsing can give away your position as easily as obtain another's. Since everyone...

Yes, but I thought you were describing attacking a group, rearming torps and attacking again. In general, I always envision assaults as very quick affairs, If you do not immobilize a target quickly, they will jump or otherwise escape. I don't think you will ever have time to refit torps and...

What would stop your targets from fleeing? Seems to me either their computers are down or they are not. I am still wondering what to do with the Hurricanes. If you compare then to the Superhornet, it is hard to say it will be better for much of anything. It cannot take a hit like the Hornet...
