    Max Crew

    Thing is, max crew is misleading. For instance the Freelancer DUR is a max crew of 2 people, yet it has seats for pilot, co-pilot, plus two others (repair and turret?) Also, there are 4 beds. To me, this seems like the max crew should be 4, not two. Honestly, I think a lot of stuff just got...

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    I prefer the 350 SRW diesel. Much better milage, better hauling capacity (would only be able to load 2000 lbs including passengers in a diesel 250 if you had a cap) etc. 800 ft-lbs of torque will get things moving FAST.

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    ALL cars and car manufacturers have their weak points. Some American cars and manufacturers have really bad press stuck with them since the late 70s and 80s. Those cars were horrible because they didn't have to be good. In fact, the Old 350 diesel engine (gas to diesel conversion) was so bad...

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    My next car (once this one gets to be 9 or 10 years old and is too expensive to keep repairing) will probably be a Ford, a Chevy, or if they come out with a rear drive platform...MAYBE a Buick. Honestly, if it had been available, I would have purchased the Chevy SS over the car I currently own...

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA Having owned 3, I can tell you this. They are NOT well engineered or tested. Like many manufacturers these days, they are in a rush to implement solutions and they they will fix the issues as they arise....usually at the customer's expense. My above example of the door handles...

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    Buy More Warranty Honestly, BMW quality is poor, the prices for repairs are just huge in the states, and they have some major engineering "oopsies" on their cars. For instance, on the 2006 3 series, if the fuse that powers the door locks for the passenger side blows - which it does as there is...

    Let's talk about the 300-series' pending rework.

    I actually don't mind the 300 series as is. No, it's not a great fighter, no, it's not the best explorer, the best racer (does have the top speed, but BAD acceleration), etc. What it does have going for it is a good all arounder that's nice as a tier 2 starting ship. It's an upgrade from the...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    Sam, I agree with your statements, but we do need to remember these are 2 very different craft with 2 very different roles. The Super Hornet is made for carrier/short ranged usage. It has 3 size 3 weapons and 2 size two. It's one of the best single player craft out there, PLUS you can have...

    Ship & Pilot: First run - Retaliator

    As many of you know, Aegis has been keen to drum up popular support for the Retaliator Bomber. To help that along, they have allowed select individuals to take one of the pre-production models for a twirl and see just how capable this ship really is. Visually, this ship is classic Aegis. It's...

    Looking for a source on embroidered caps

    Sent you a PM. I know the company does more in the way of uniforms these days, but last time I ordered something they still did embroidery. They also used to do promotional items like key chains, pens, and other advertising specialties. Not sure if they still do them these days or not, but I...

    Beerjerker, What part of the Midwest? I grew up in Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin, but most of my family is spread all over the Midwest.

    Morning all, hope your day is a great one! BTW, I've been to Oregon many times, and I love Portland, but Vancouver, Washington (just across the River), and Victoria, British Columbia are just as nice.

    Lets Talk About Guild/Squadron Member Cap !!

    if you CCU from the argo to the connie, I don't think you get the other hanger. You just get the hanger that came with the Argo. From my understanding, the only thing you change is the ship, but keep everything else that came with the package you originally purchased, including LTI

    Lets Talk About Guild/Squadron Member Cap !!

    Test is not just an org...it's an org, filled with orgs. I seriously don't see anything but the larger orgs being able to play a comprehensive game. I see orgs dedicated to exploring, mining, trading, bounty hunting, etc. I think only the big orgs will be able to do them all and offer...

    Speeding Ticket cleck tells me i may or may not have a warrant for my arrest

    unfortunately, like most, you would benefit from an attorney, but can't afford to get one. (hence why a lot of people say the US has a two tiered justice system) You might want to see if you can talk (well talk/go in) to someone from legal aid about setting up a payment plan or at least getting...

    Dreams vs. Reality

    This person who made this video lost ALL credibility with me when he said Freelancer's graphics "look like shit" Sorry, that person obviously has NO CLUE what graphics were like back then. Those graphics were on par, if not slightly better than the graphics that EverQuest launched with in...

    And I thought I was done with ships....

    My thoughts for the explorers were this. Sometimes you will have crew (real), sometimes you will want to hire out, other times you will want to solo/duo. I wanted a full range of explorer ships so I could run the gauntlet of opportunities. Want to go hunt for a new asteroid field to mine, the...

    Ship question, for running missions

    For this mission, the freelancer was an excellent choice, but what if you had more crew...or a smaller ship. I suspect you would not have been offered the mission, but you would have gotten a slightly different one that meets what your current ship can do (and different pay of course)...
