Can you explain to those of us who aren't yet flying, in what ways you have observed this? Is it harder to lock missiles? Does it have to be closer to lock guns? Is it wearing stealth armor and if not, could it be improved by stealth armor? And please tell us how you like the stronger...

What is the function of a "small" salvage ship? I take it you just grab parts, but do you need a real salvage ship for that? I read once that someone was guessing the Reliant would be good for that, but I can't guess why. It has a little cargo space, but so does the Redeemer.

That's what Ripcord was referring to with "trigger discipline". Even if you are flying all lasers and can't run out of ammo, most ships ability to recharge their shields is tied to limits in the reactor and weapons, so refusing to fire when you don't need to is always the best option. Also...

I would really love to see a Testie combat primer one day. I had no idea that some missiles take longer to lock than others. I'm sure just the issue of missiles is complex. Generally I don't like them because in every vid I've seen, they never hit. They don't even hit things like...

So you fly with two pair lasers on the wings as primary and a slower, stronger weapon that requires ammo for sure shots?

So what is the best dog so far? I know some say the Gladius is a "Hornet killer" but you black out in it so fast it doesn't seem to me that much attention to engines is the best choice. Gimme shields and guns any day over fancy stuff if that stuff makes you black out. That's worse than guns...

It only sounds like I have thought it out because I was convincing a friend earlier today of how much fun SC and Test is going to be. I'm hoping he'll bring his group over from Pardus. I was not suggesting to him that this above is what Test would do, but rather that any group inside Test...

That is a good point. If you play a standard outlaw, you won't be able to enter UEE space, at least in your own ship, and since they have treaties with the Xi'an and Banu, you might not be welcome there either. The Vanduul are already most unwelcoming, so basically you're relegated to the...

Practicing is where it's at. Every ship is different and will require different techniques for each ship and each opponent, but in general pilots who fly all the time excel at what they do. That's just the general rule. If you are finishing all the waves of the Vanduul that come against you...

You're actually storing up luck for later when it counts, and note you can't be flying the Cutlass and Buck. Its when you get to flying those that counts. That all said, marcsand2 is the guy to see to turn you into an ace.

See now this is the kind of brazen, crazy bastard we need around here. I'll drink to that!

Obviously I am the heretic here, who many may want to burn at the stake for failing to fan the flames of ship envy, but to say the truth I will probably just buy a Tana, some upgrades for it like an EMP generator if it can be fit, and then things like NPC's, Industrial Hangar extensions, etc...

Lets hope for an S5 turret instead of the crappy S1 in the last design. That was why it never appealed to me--it did not have sufficient weapons for the job it's supposed to do, nor enough a reason to pay for the Blue over the Black. Yeah, a larger shield is nice, but Drake is supposed to be...

Exactly right. CIG wants players to own and insure multiple ships and components. If they price things too high, people will just respond by owning only a single ship that is well equipped. People will always want something "custom" that is tricked out in some manner and they will pay to be...

Why would anyone use a motorcycle to move cargo? Put a tractor on the Cat and all you have to do is push the crates out of the target craft. That stuff should be easy. What will not be easy is getting your Cat anywhere near a real mark. I know as soon as I see a Cat I'll be thinking...

The Warden has not got many uses. Word is it is too sluggish to dogfight, and even though it has great range and great weapons, a fighter that cannot fight fighters is not much use. The Sentinel should be much more useful. The Harbinger is interesting with all the added missiles, but when you...

I love the artistic unity in the Drake line and I do think people will love to use them as a family, but I think there are a couple questionable notions in the scenario atop this thread. For instance, I think it is very important to realize that the greatest commodity in any game like this is...

Lets hope when they release more detail that will say the length and stick with it. I think at least a couple will fit in the Aurora cargo carry box. I'd like to know if it will fit in the Avenger and Reliant. I'm not sure why so many folks want to purchase stacks of them, as most players...

Looks like the concept sale starts tomorrow. See here at time index 3:35-5M and index 25-31M. Of special note it cannot move from the surface to space or the reverse, so it needs to be hauled and looks like it will fit in things like the Freelancer. I'm guessing probably not a Reliant nor...
