So still no buzz on what ships become flyable in 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2? I'm guessing the Hoplite but still wondering about the Sentinel and Harbinger. Don't they need all these for Squad 42?

The Connie is not a combat ship. It is not that she is not much of a combat ship. She is not a combat ship at all. Don't be fooled by the turrets--they are on practically every ship and you should not in general trust just because you have some that they will keep you safe. Nothing will keep...

I am thinking I need an PMUV just so I have something to name "Thunder Chicken".

Obviously they envy us the quality of our crunchy, salty pretzels. It is very easy to underestimate the power of a fresh as opposed to stale pretzel. Besides, we all know it can't be the beer.

It's only happening now because there are no consequences. When the PU opens they would not be able to do this in lawful space and survive, and bounty-hunters will be looking for those who do this in lawless space, so griefing will come at a cost. When the PU opens we will all be able to earn...

This fun to joke about, but sadly I have seen this sort of thing several times, and it can really ruin the playtime of a lot of people. The horror stories from Eve seem to be the worst, but we had them at SWC as well.

Have you tried the Superhornet, Cutlass, Vanguard and Terappin all in the tank role? Seems like a lot of choices there. I am not guessing they will build a better one seat tank than the Hornets.

The Vanguard are the only long range fighters in game currently. Since Squad 42 is based on them it would be wise to consider the need for long range. I am annoyed CIG cannot publish stats on range and make them useful, yet wants us to buy the ships anyway. $400 for a Prowler I ain't payin'...

So are you flying the chin gun on the swivel? The thing to do to get an objective sense of how fast it turns, is to find a pair of markers and place the ship so that you will know when you have turned precisely a certain number of degrees. So for example, if you can place the ship where one...

That is interesting, but all 4 of the Vanguard variants should be able to be equipped with 2 S4 BEHR ballistic cannons and 6 Behring MVSA laser cannons, for a single pip total of 4195 DPS. Vanguard drivers laugh at the wee little Buckies and likes them for breakfast cereal.

I don't yet have a fleet because I don't have a gaming machine nor time to play, but I intend to by fall so I will share what I am interested in. For a dogfighter, I am waiting to choose between the Ghost Tracker Hornet with a pair of the big BEHR C-788 Ballistic Cannons , or perhaps a...

I don't know what you mean by "Combine". I still don't have a gaming machine so I don't have an account yet and can only access small portions of the official CIG pages. The weapons calculator does seem to be official CIG, and several have said these are the best numbers, but it seems at...

Have you flown your Vanguard with the big gun on swivel that way? I have still not heard the stories of what the big BEHR ballistic cannon is like on the nose, but it seems the perfect fit. Fast to target, great range and very powerful. No lasers means it will be stealthy until you fire it...

No, no. I still don't expect to have the time to put a rig in until late Fall. I am still working 70 hour weeks, and that needs to go back to 40-50 before I get any playtime again. I do think about what to build though. I think a curved 36" touchscreen and perhaps a couple tablet sized...

So it is like flying a light fighter, but with heavy weapons? Sounds fun but I would want strong reasons to let go of the stealth, tracking and range of a Ghost Tracker., and the pair of S4s on the Hornet ought to hit harder than the Buc. The BEHR ballistic cannons are beasts on paper, fast to...

Has anyone flown the Ghost Hornet with the Tracker turret, extended range tanks and a pair of BEHR ballistic cannons fixed?

How does it compare to the SH? About the same firepower, less shield and hull but more maneuverable? Why would you choose it over the Hornets given the Hornets can be outfitted with stealth and Tracker?

His jaw is too big. he looks like a giraffe. That's just deplorable.

That would be wonderful, but the only ships we know can swap guns for scanners are the Tracker Hornet and Aquila. I surely hope the Hurricane can do likewise, but we don't know this yet, and we have even less detail on the Redeemer. Even the Sentinel does not swap the turret for the EM Warfare...
