I use 3 Panther 227 repeaters (nose, and both wings), plus 2 badger 117 repeaters on the turret. I usually don't have any issues with overheating unless I am constantly on the trigger. I find that with the punch I have from the Panthers, with the extra bit I get from the badgers, I don't have...

Ship & Pilot periodicals present Gladius: First look Star Citizen has given subscribers a neat and useful perk: Ships of the month. This month, the Gladius is front and center. Developed by Aegis Aerospace, the same company that brought us the Sabre, the Gladius is classified as a short range...

Honestly, I don't think any of them will make for good explorers. The black and red look to be more of a job of the day, be it Search and Rescue, hauling cargo, or pulling in salvage. (I honestly don't see any place it states the black has lower IR engines when I look at the ship sale page or...

oh, and when I am exploring, I don't want to be fighting when I can avoid it.

I actually don't use missiles that much. Too expensive to restock IMO and you only have so many, plus half of them just seem to wander away and not hit anything. I can think of other ways to throw away UEC. It's also why I prefer to use energy weapons over kinetic weapons. I would rather use...

Hmm, Instead of Dare, I think "Dare to be Stupid" might be a better song for us (well, at least for me...I am always trying stupid stuff)

I had the chance to...cough...borrow (and return) a freelancer yesterday. After driving it, I am not sold on getting one for my small explorer ship. Yes, it's smaller than the Aquila and will fit though the smaller jump points, but it's just not that maneuverable. I am worried that a small...

Jethaya, You don't need more than the Aurora. Lots of people have room on their ship and in an Org this big, you should be able to find someone that needs a crew. From 2 person ships like the vanguard and freelancer (which might benefit from a 3rd crew person to run the turret or...

I think it will depend on what you are using your "explorer" for. Are you looking to find hidden ships/threats, etc when with a battle group, therefore relying on strictly passive sensors, or are you going to be looking for asteroid belts, dead ships, etc where active sensors may be more useful...

Yakety Sax is definately one of the songs I hear in my head when playing with fellow Test members Here are a couple of others and

not Germany or China, but... http://www.it-isac.org/ or one of the other ISACs, depending on what you are trying to look at. They should be able to handle political issues.

Happy Canada Day!

One thing to remember is that the explorer ships may also end up being a very good command ship/awacs platform. Change out the sensors that look for minerals/jump points, etc to look for ships, etc, and you go from being able to zero in on wealthy resources, to being able to zero in on threats...

Correct. I should have said IF the freelancer still fits through the smallest wormholes.... My bad

In my opinion (which counts for absolutely nothing), someone who really wants to explore for the sake of exploring should have 2-3 ships. If the Freelancer still fits through the small wormholes (which is my current understanding), get that one over the 315, especially if you are a decent...

By itself, a large fuel tanker should not be able to abuse all fighters, but one-on-one, a fighter should not be able to survive close in - and it should be hard to even able to get into close range. Turrets, shields and main guns with some minimal maneuvering SHOULD be able to make it very...

I played with a starfarer last night, and honestly, I was not impressed. Yes, the nose cannons will kill absolutely any small ship it hits first shot, but if your opponents get close, you are doomed. Turrets (at least in the current iteration) are really not worth all that much. Lost a person...

My deepest condolences Black Sunder. Managing anything in this group will take a LOT of work... seriously, good to see Rock Raiders being a division in test!

Montoya, It all depends on how much money you want to invest, what kind of support personnel you have (just you, or you plus others), and what kind of quality you want out of the final product. I've seen good quality videos out of some phones, but if you are looking for image stabilization, HD...

Nice to meet you
