    Bounty Hunting Combat Fighter

    Ok, took my 85x out for a spin (it was a LTI token) DANG that little ship is nice. I had an easier time taking out ships in that thing then I do in some dedicated combat vessels. The toughness of that thing is also just off the charts. It's definitely a worthy ship. The fact that it can...

    Combat Convoy

    I completely agree @Stevetank . I put out a number of roles, but most of them can be rolled up into one or two people for a small group. The reason I put so many roles is so that if groups get really big, you can split out roles and responsibilities and not have one person be responsible for...

    Combat Convoy

    My thoughts on convoys in SC. First off, I see this are more like a naval convoy than a land convoy. While there is a "best route" and a start, an end, and maybe some waypoints you must hit along the way, the rest of the route is up to you. You can go straight/most direct, or you can detour...

    New computer build for SC

    After some research... if you can. And ONLY if you can...hold off 1 year. Build an i5 with a 1060 video card if you absolutely have to, then give it to your mom/dad/brother/sister/in-laws/work friend/etc as a birthday/winter holiday present. Then, after all this is sorted out by next year...

    VirtualAce (Now N_forcer from Aerospace Alliance) Exploiting / Lag Switching Drama Queen

    People who brag about their IQs are either young and/or very smart (Mensa+ type), or have nothing to brag about... Of course, I've met people who bragged about their higher than average IQ....of 101....guess it takes all kinds

    VirtualAce (Now N_forcer from Aerospace Alliance) Exploiting / Lag Switching Drama Queen

    Guys, This is just some young kid (20 ish or younger I think) Called TheNoobifer1337 "some old guy" after he admitted he was 43 and would not waste time of stuff like that. Being 43 myself, I find the only people who call me "old" are those 20 or more years younger than I am. Test is a lot...

    Best Escort ship for TEST gameplay

    It's all going to depend on what needs to be escorted. 10 Hull Es? At least an Idris, maybe a Javelin. Certainly a Polaris or two, plus appropriate fighters and maybe a few long range missile/gunships. A Javelin? 1-2 Idris types, 3-4 Polaris, Multiple Connies/Redeemers plus fighters (when...

    So, why did they talk about catching a capital ships with shields down?

    Speculation... I don't know about shields in specific, but most ships do not sail on the the seas while at "general quarters" or with all hatches "battened down" However, In Sci-Fi, the raising and lowering of shields is very common. Here are a few examples: BSG - Set condition 1 throughout...

    Motherboard selection help

    I have three boards I am trying to choose between for my new system as my old one is failing. Someone asked why I was replacing my current system and I said what happened and what was going on and the piece of equipment (the z77) that I suspect is failing on my current system
