Interesting but still no mention of tractors. I would have expected multiple Sure Grips or a larger version.

That is a big deal for me. I will probably want to be involved in some complex and cool operation about weekly, but lots of the time it is just hangin' with the peeps and this ship looks more fun to hang in than any hanger I've seen. Bridge is equal to the Carrack. One has to wonder if they...

Just bear in mind that without some sort of support ship like the Polaris, you won't be flying any SH's except in an adjacent system. Really SH's can't replace the Polaris. The only ships that come close right now are the Vanguards and maybe the Redeemer, and no matter how many of them you...

I think it is in the description of the Carrack that it uses Cap Ship components and is built by a military ship provider, so it is a little between; but it serves a civilian purpose to both the military and civilian owners. Long story short, Capital ships are first and always combat ships...

I don't know from Eve. I can tell you that CIG is not using your definition and neither do military historians. Supertankers are not Cap ships. They are merchant marine. Cap ships are military only. Best you get this correct right now or you will remain confused. CIG is not using the term...

I have seen a lot of silliness posted about the Polaris, and especially the nonsense over at YouTube attached to some of the vids there. So just in case some here have not understood, let me offer a few simple observations. --Just as Grimbli is implying, the real benefit of the hangar bay is...

That is not the definition of a capital ship. Cap ships are combat ships, and none of the ships you mention are combat ships. Even though the Carrack utilizes some elements of military hardware, it is decidedly NOT a cap ship. For instance, the scan display on the bridge is not intended to...

I think if you really like flying gimballed you should at least try the Vanguard. That bird is going to have constant work in the 'verse, since it can go anywhere. Both the sabre and SuperHornet need carriers, so there are lots of places they won't be flying. "Long Range has lots of benefits...

Spies are probably best not associated publicly with any group and report directly to Montoya. If you want to be a spy, send your real name, home address, social security number, date and place of birth, and checking account number to Montoya so he can verify your personal data and hold your...

I think several of the smaller fighters ought to be able to take out the Vanguard if they are flown to their best advantage. Especially when the Vanguard has hard mounted guns and does not rotate like the real dogfighters, you ought to be able to get in close and avoid getting hit, and take...

IMHO, if you expect to be in a combat situation, the Gemini is the better choice. If rather you intend to stay in UEE space, in the normal trade routes, seeking normal employ, the standard Starfarer is better since it hauls far more fuel. You will make money faster with it. I believe they can...

For that kind of money you could buy a true "wing" of 6 Vanguard. Indeed I have been considering this. I haven't found a reason not to yet. It appears you might even take Polaris, Void Bomber and maybe even Idris with such a wing.

The only way to know if a ship can dodge incoming fire is pilot the ship in combat, but for smaller ships one can look at the number and size thrusters and the mass, and make decent predictions. We can guess for example, that the Bucky will outhandle the Hornet, Sabre and yes, even the Gladius...

Or you can wear down the shields with energy and use missiles on the hull. Either way, you cannot plink Vanguards to death given the huge refresh rate their shields have. They come stock with the best shields one can put in that class and the class above. They also come with three times the...

This is a very pleasant surprise. 5 big anti-fighter guns, enough to take on anything smaller than an Idris. Enough S5 torpedoes to take on pair of Vanduul Void Bombers from outside the range of their spinal mounts. This ship looks like it can stop Vanduul raiding parties. Looks like enough...

Its not an annoyance. It's a cleverly disguised firework, that goes all kablooie when you target it.

Yeah. The golf swing is just an attempt to make scanning a real time skill rather than only an intellectual exercise. It works for me.

I can see great reason to fly all four Vanguard variants together. We don't know what is possible yet, but it may be that pilots and gunners forming a wing or squadron can each individually tie their respawn points to a single Warden in the mix, and if a player is killed during a boarding...

You do well to point out what many people ignore when they buy large multi-crew ships. Even boats like the StarG need sufficient crew or they are just flying targets. The Redeemer requires 5 and the Idris 10, so it is a fair bet the Polaris will need about 7. I think you have much better odds...
