CR made some public statements a couple years ago about the criminal justice system, that people would not be able to skirt around criminal status by associations with friends, loaning ships, multi-characters, etc. Obviously there is something important planned because CIG makes their money...

Given the size of the hangar on the Carrack and Polaris, I would not expect to fit a pair of hornets in anything smaller than an Idris. Of course an Idris would make a cool trade platform, especially if it can land, and we will be selling only slightly used Idris P at reasonable prices.

I don't think the BMM has a hangar, but the 890J is expected to be a militarily capable ship. I have always been impressed they planned more weapons in from the start than a Carrack. Sounds like the Endeavor might work for you.

Tyberius Kain has been my gaming handle pretty consistently for about 20 years. Friends usually call me "TK" or "Ty".

If you had your druthers and could design one ship to live out of, what would it be like? Post your delusions. . .er, I mean thoughts here. What I wish I had would be sized between the Prowler and Polaris: the Aegis "Black-Heart" class stealth assault transport. It is patterned after the...

Let us know! I have often wondered what 4 Pyros on a Sabre would be like. You have to be able to get close, but the Sabre is fast enough that it can almost always control the distance of an engagement. It can strike invisibly from great distance with its missiles, and then shatter targets...

Yeah, I always thought the main weakness the Prowler has is no missiles, and really you need significant spike capability to drop a ship all at once. Team a single Eclipse with 3 S9 spike torps with a single Prowler and really almost any unescorted ship is at your mercy up to the Polaris class...

Yeah, well I think whatever they do, they will want to keep the Black special in some way, and if you could just pull the stasis pods from the Blue and put in whatever you like, what reason would anyone have to fly the Black? Even with the smaller reactor and shields, the Black is gonna be VERY...

Yeah. Pyros always have that drawback, but on the Polaris you have side turrets that can reach out further, and top turrets to defend against air assault. I think so long as you scout an area first and know there is nothing to breech the Polaris' shields, you can drift around and destroy...

Crichten writes one post and suddenly we go from 57 to 67. I don't think we will have trouble finding folks to pira. . .em. . .sail with.

I would bet they nerf the Blue in some way so that the Black keeps its place as the standard Cutty. If you can't remove the stasis pods, the Black will be the main choice. That is my bet. This would make the Blue great for bounty hunting and not much else. They want the Black as the...

You need to decide what you want to do before you consider what is an effective way to do it. Certainly there are plenty of people here who will loan you a powerful and capable ship once you decide how you want to spend your time. You don't need to buy ships. You need to connect with players...

We have the same curiosities. It will be great to see how they work it out. Certainly if we can link to spawn in any given bed, that would explain why ships like the Redeemer don't have as many berths as crew. What happens when ships are linked together in small fleets, and whether a bed on a...

There is also the extra-communal, anti-humanist, belligerent fee owed by The Outsiders on Leir, for turning their backs on humanity. Word is they are storing several Polaris in order to pay their fees to the appropriate folks carrying official letters of mark, or maybe unoffical letters.

It is doubtful that everyone who has asked to be on the list will be available to actually join a group once this type of group play is enabled. It is still worth noting we currently have 57 people on the list. If 15 of them are available in the same time frame, that is a good sized group. It...

IIUC, the bed allows you to respawn in situ. so for example, if you are on a mission to take a Polaris intact, and have a wing of 6 Vanguard acting together, you probably want one Warden in the mix. If one of your Master Sargents who are running the assault teams dies, you want him to respawn...

My take on a ground assault package is that the things needed are in order: troop transport capability, very heavy shields, bottom facing turrets or lesser alternative is chin mounts that can target ground assets. This said it is good to note three issues that are important to me. First, in...

If you try to do everything, you can indeed do it all, but will do it poorly at best. I suggest plan around you main interest and fit other activities in as side ventures. Remember you can borrow ships from friends, so you don't need a Prospector to try prospecting, and the game is full of...

I'm not sure why I am not getting an image I can post or even DL. IMHO, the real trick to designing fleet engagements is to not use more assets for any one task than are necessary. You want to build in reserves in case something goes wrong, but your reserves can't be particularly large or...

Perfect partner for the Prowler.
