Would speed up more than your SC boot up time?

It may work better for the Prowler. In an assault ship one hopes you are controlling the engagement, so have an opportunity for example to face your enemy and put the shield where you want it. For fighters this might also work if all you ever did was the jousting style CIG is working to get...

You may be able to direct them, but they are S1 shields, and the refresh rate will certainly reflect this. Expect them to be better than than most S1 shields, but not by a lot. Most serious fighters have S2 shields. The Reliant has S4 shields. You read the brochure and then tell us all why we...

These are wise men. Listen to everyone who loves the Vanguard, for we rule. If you want to sometimes explore, but most times kick ass, then buy a Vanguard and crew a Carrack. It costs nothing to crew and the Carrack will do a much better job at exploration than anything else. There are lots...

I guess Groot is Banu? I am not happy with any fighter that doesn't sport S4 guns, but if you are going to do without, having 6 S3s is not especially terrible. I think a Sabre or Hornet would eat this for lunch tough. Crappy shields, big target hull, low speed and maneuverability, no missiles...

It was all intended as humor. Sorry if it didn't come off that way. I never cuss except for humor's sake. Sometimes I forget people don't know me that well here.

Keep in mind the big torps are only good against large, comparatively sluggish opponents. For fighters you want S3's max. Still no word about shooting torps down. If for example you could mount 2-4 Pyrobursts on the Polaris' S6 chin mount, you might destroy torps before you take a hit, which...

Seriously?! WTF! The latest Star Wars trailer is out almost a week, and no one mentioned it? Seriously? Are you all MAD?! Have your brains been scrambled? Do you not understand responsibility to community, and caring for one another, and giving to each other, and coming together in time...

I think CIG's current word is instances will top out at 50 players and 16 ships, and they are hoping to extend this to 32 ships. It seems to me it would well behoove the commander of any large ship or operation to have significantly more players attached to a ship by setting to spawn in berths...

Maybe. My first choice of a ride right now is the Sentinel, but there has been precious little said exactly what the e-war suite will be capable of. We do know it will sport some sort of "EMP charges", which all by itself is very interesting. If you dig this kind of play, drop a post in the...

I have actually been running wargaming scenarios in my mind for many months on how to use a handful of Vanguard or Prowlers effectively for privateering. The methods vary greatly depending upon whether you use speed (the Vanguards) or stealth (the Prowler and Ghost Tracker). The trouble with...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUDwpY99Jg The "Titan Armor" powered body armor was news to me. The work on the Reclaimer, Aquila and Prospector continues and they still say they are overhauling the ships' stats page. Wonder how many months they can claim that?

Did someone report the 788 bug? It matters if they move the pip or speed up the cannon!

One of the things easy to over look with the Polaris is it probably mounts S3 sensors, so will see ships at great range, and the S3 missiles have terrific range--much greater than any fighter weapons. Small fighters can dodge gunfire, but the S3 missiles are supposed to be the hardest to evade...

Yeah, until CIG got word and wanted their cut. Of course if all he wanted to do was "trade" with his friends here at TEST, he might get away with that for quite some time. I would bet there are a couple dozen guys at TEST who would pay a cool grand for half dozen of their favorite models. He...

Actually there is one notable exception peeps ought to look into. It is possible ships like the Connie can mount a full electronic warfare package. Depending upon many things, just this might keep one safe at least for a little bit. If you can confuse an enemy just enough you do not have to...

If you were to find that on ships short of cap ships, the role of the fighter would be greatly diminished, and CIG has said they intend for the fighter to be the backbone of all ship to ship engagement. There is only one ship designed to fight fighters and win--the Corvette--and it remains to...

Wow, two pages and no one said they are looking forward to bounty hunting? Isn't that supposed to be a thing in 3.0?

The Connie is really the only general purpose ship so far, though the Merchantman will go that way some too. The guns are there to make you feel safe enough to make poor choices and become pirate munchies. Everyone's gotta live, right? Keep in mind that no one is flying these big ships alone...

Anyone flown the Hoplite yet? Does it come with all the same weapons installed as the Warden?
