    How many docking ports does the Idris have?

    I don't see the Liberator as needing bunks for pilots. In fact given the speeds we travel and the preponderance of bases, it appears beds, in general, are overrated.

    How many docking ports does the Idris have?

    Since they are getting rid of all vertical docking ports, the number is unknown since the model I've looked at has those. IIRC they are round, as well.

    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    The other plan is to consider a progression in your chosen profession. So, for example, a ROC, a Prospector, a MOLE and an Orion.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    A Dragonfly is the only ground vehicle I have. It isn't as fast as a Nox, but more versatile, IMHO.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Since the insertion is noisy, they know you're coming. One would think flight crews are suited up.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Breaching a wall is a better choice than using a door in the real world, especially when the defense has a few fireteams of their own and knows you are coming. Granted this is a game, but I just keep thinking about the Storm Trooper bodies in the airlock in the opening sequence of Star Wars.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Other than to serve as a dropship for ships with XS hangars, I still don't see the point. It would work better without the docking tube and more storage.

    Best life and sales advice I ever got was from a Muppet.

    New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer

    I rather have a Sabre or Hornet and a Wingman also in a Sabre or Hornet than a Scorpius. Fortunately I do have a Sabre and a wingman (wing woman?) with a Sabre. I don't see the attraction, other than to "lock S foils in attack position."

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    This fits in the Hangar of any ship with an XS pad. So either to take your marines to a fight, or board through the hangar on ships that you are after.

    I am the liquor

    I have met liquor. In fact my relationship with the entire liquor family is both long and quite close. You aren't liquor, except possibly by marriage. After all that crazy Barcardi went and married a Mormon, so I guess anything is possible. Welcome to Test.

    Range, tankiness and firepower are the obvious answers. The Vanguard line are not supposed to be variants. One Vanguard should equal all Vanguards with Combination kits. Though the Hoplite was only implied not stated outright as being part of the equation. So, if you dump your Hoplite in...

    The trip mines were 3.16, I believe. The Grenade Launcher is a little older. Both will fill an airlock with bodies quickly.

    It, IMHO, comes down to what size unit you are trying to move. If we go with 8 man squads, then it takes 2 Valkyries to move a platoon and the Hoplite is pretty useless. With 6 man squads, then 4 Hoplites, 3 Legionaires, 2 Retaliators or one Valkyrie move a Platoon. (Though the Valk is short...

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    If it also works as a drop ship then this ship serves a role the other dropships don't serve. You can deliver Marines from an Idris, Liberator, or similar size landing bay, to the target. As a dropship, this is the right size to deliver a squad. I'm still a bit dubious about the whole "enter...
