It is 2/3 the width and 2/3 the mass of a Hornet. It is much smaller and harder to hit. This might fit into a Carrack. It also should be easier to hide on sensors than a Hornet. With a smallish reactor and 6 Pyrobursts mounted, this thing is from the gates of Hell itself. With the top turret...

Just as importantly as the length, the Hurricane is 2/3 the width and 2/3 the mass of the Hornet. It uses TR1 maneuver instead of the Hornet's TR2, and TR2 main engines instead of the Hornet's TR4. It may be as nimble but will not be as quick. What it will probably be is even more stealthy...

I'd say it is the prettiest ship since the Sabre. Except of course the Polaris, which shall ever be the prettiest ship.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hurricane/Hurricane Well, first thing to note is with a pair of S4 guns up front, you already have as much firepower at the pilot's command as any other ship I can think of. Fitted with a pair of BEHR C788 Ballistic Cannons, anything you can hit...

I have not heard anything about quad mounts, but have been hoping for this from the start. Does anyone have any detail about this? Is it a real thing? Is it just for turrets, or is there a possibility we will be able to mount quad S1s into larger gimbals like those on the Prowler? Will we be...

Great stuff. I am curious as one who has never flown any SC craft (no machine at present) why the coordinate system seems to be so skewed. The 360/00 radial coordinates are normally at top center, and here they are just off the 3 o'clock position to be annoying. Is this how people see...

If they cover the costs of everything uninsured, I can't see how it would be much concern. Suppose they paid you the costs of all weapons up front? Would you not then have no risk?

Is this a place to make a plug for the notion of the folks here to loan their ships to others who can't afford what they'd like to fly? Seems like a great team-building exercise to me. Lots of us have way more ships than we can field. If there is someone flying an Aurora or Mustang and your...

One of the issues that it seems no one has faced yet in combat, is the whole sub-category of situations that arise with long range scanners, especially from larger ships or specially designed ships like the Space Turtle. When you can sense or be sensed by an enemy while still outside their scan...

At SWC there was talk of someone putting together a personal jump calculator, which would do the precise calculations for you, so that if you wanted to go to a specific set of coordinates in deep space, it would give you the exact heading, and time that you should be in flight, so you could exit...

That was a great explanation, but I want to be clear--there is still no way for the pilot to enter the coordinates of the location you want to jump to, so you cannot do what I described above? Your friend can give you the coordinates where he is, but you cannot simply enter them into your...

Or take work flying escort for a group who can supply you with fuel for the trip. Even if you cannot refuel in space like off a StarG with a refueling probe, you can refuel anything that will fit in a Polaris, for exmaple; and so an make much longer trips. Any movement of an Idris would be the...

Great example proving the point of why team play is key. Flying alone should always come with hugely associated risk. The keys to success in SC all concern how well you work with others IMHO.

I just opened the calculator to check this and 3 of the 4 S5 weapons are now missing. Interesting. Worth keeping an eye on to see how it updates. My guess is the S5 Vanduul originated WAR cannon will be some sort of limited access, in-game reward for taking down Vanduul.

I'm still not clear on something. Can you Q jump t arbitrarily assigned coordinates within a system, or do you have to select some sort of nav point that shows up on the HUD? So for example, say you are neutralizing (EMP, distortion cannon or spike missile) Vanduul fighters in mostly empty...

God bless. It is true, the best revenge is to live well. Sounds like you have that in spades.

In SWC we used to plan tactics around "micro-jumping", which was to plan a standard warp jump and exit the jump inside the same system you were leaving from, which meant in a matter of just a few seconds. That would cause you to leap across an entire system that might normally take half an...

I deserve to win the Hull A because I am smart, and cool, and funny, and everyone always likes me, and I give chocolate to friends, hot chicks and small children, and I love to kill things and take their treasure. Please give me a Hull A.
