My favorite, and you can stand if you're manning a standing console on a Carrack, etc: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-OE1ZPi8vU

You sound very organized! I guess a lot of you came over from Eve together? Are you using VOIP as well? In a hairy fur-ball I would generally prefer to talk to teammates rather than type notes. I think though this misses the harder part of the issue. It is the long spans of time with...

I think that would be cool, but I also think you would have a terrible time convincing a mess of players to stand around in a Carrack waiting to be attacked. If there are things to do in the Dragonflies, then by all means use the Carrack as a base and explore those ancient ruins by day, sleep...

For those of us willing to wear a parrot, it's important to note what you can and cannot "appropriate". A Corvette you can take from your enemies. The NPC's to man it you will likely not be able to conscript. You will need to pay for those. If I'm not paying for all the ships I want, I can...

Isn't there supposed to be a recent ADM chip that is 50% faster than everything else and low heat? Is supposed to be packaged in the HP Envy I think.

Yes, but why should they design an entire scout for the Carrack? Wouldn't most owners prefer to select the ship they want as a tender from amongst a handful that will fit? The thing to remember is that in any conflict, the key limiting factor to force that can be applied is the number of...

Why would you want to purchase a Corvette when The Corporation is willing to purchase them for us?

Episode 1, starts 1 minute in: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXUMd4T5mw I liked it.

I would like to see it slightly bigger, but not much. The center section could be wider, but not the rest of the ship; so a 64M beam could fit say a 20M wide, 35M long hangar bay at least 10M high. That will not fit even medium sized ships and not more than a couple fighters, but it makes an...

Has anyone else considered the landing bay on the Carrack seems too small for a fun variety of ships? Even though it has a bay rather than an attachment point like the Connie, this may make no difference. I would love it if the designers were to make it able to fit 16M beam ships like the...

DARPA puts out solicitations like this often. So do several other DoD agencies. The trouble is, most of the solicitations are too small to be worth chasing, and they always seem to grant "government use" rights which means if you land the project the best you can do is cost plus 8%. Hence why...

X Count me in. Anyone here from the old AOL FreeForm Gaming Forum, Red Dragon Inn, Stars End Bar?

This seems to me to dovetail nicely with the thread about kicking Vanduul butt in Virgil space. Partner a Reclaimer crew with a Warlock or Reliant with an EMP generator and one hopes you could pull down big pesos disassembling Vanduul craft of all sorts, even including the smaller cap ships...

Yes, Han is the choice of champions, BECAUSE he shot first.

Yes, I agree it overheats quickly. Just 3.3s and then it's cooling down for almost 40 seconds. That is however, enough to dump about 25,000 points damage per minute on a target at long range, if all you hit is that target--something like a large cap ship. If you are circling at 5k range for...

If you have a Redeemer and I steal it and give it back to you, and your insurance replaces it; you now have two ships. For stealing ships to be plausible in an environment where insurance replaces them, there needs to be some serious limitation or nerf on that process. Each time a player...

So what did you think? Seems to me the slow speed means it's not much good at medium ranges, but for large, slow targets like cap ships and for blanketing an area at close range, the Mantis might be a winner. With 5k range a SH could waste a Carrack by itself ,or a few SH's could kill an...

IIUC on the chart I posted the other day, the S3 sized GATS Ballistic Gatling "Mantis GT-220" has by far the highest DPS of any weapon. Trouble is it creates so much heat it is done shooting in 3.3 seconds. So it needs to be used like the GAU-8 Avenger cannon in the nose of the Warthog--just...

Great stuff. IIRC, the The Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy: Vega System describes a group called "The Descendents of Orion" who are paying cash money to those who will fly against the Vaduul. I think they're on Vega 3, and this means they're likley flying against targets in Virgil and Tyber...

Yes, I do. There are entirely too many shadows here and they need to be reaped. People keep sowing shadows with no notion of what sort of crop they'll get. So far as I'm concerned, enough shadow to hide me and my pilfered pirate booty is enough shadow. As for pouring in the drink, so long as...
