    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Hi All, I know the Bounty Hunter Mechanics are not even a serious consideration yet. LOL but I am trying to plan ahead a little. I would love some input from those that have been at this a little longer. I am thinking that relocating from one home base to a new one is likely to be time...

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    The Saber hits harder than the Hornet unless you can add the ball turret to the standard Hornet. If the flashfire mount is still a thing then it is close. Both of those questions about the hornet are open, unfortunately.

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    So the Bucc is armed just slightly under the Super Hornet but the same as the Hornet with the full ball turret. (The Wildfire has the Super Hornet Ball Turret, but doesn't have an entry for the chin turret, not sure if the ball turret from the Super Hornet can go into the standard turret with...

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    Should be on sale at least once this year. If I wasn't, personally, thinking Bounty Hunting and a consequent belief that I will have a need for stealth, I would definitely agree with you. Given the demonstrated travel times, I don't want more than one fighter without an interior. So the...

    Both the Lightning and Sabre are listed as Superiority Fighters. We have been told the Military hasn't bought the Sabre and it is being sold to contractors. We have also been told the Lightning is adopted by the military and not available to civilians. Granted it is all just speculation. :)

    Don't know that it is better, but it is more consistent, since you can mount a gimbal and a size smaller weapon on fixed mounts. There is no real difference between the, for example, gun mounts on the back of the sabre compared to the front of the sabre.

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    Beauty is in the eye of hte beholder. I really can't stand the Drake ships. they look too clunky to me, and I really don't like the WWII tech vibe they seem to give me. :) In comparison, to me, a B-52 looks higher tech than Drake ships. :) On the other hand I love the look of Aegis ships. :)...

    I was under the impression that the Sabre was an unadopted prototype and lost the contract to the F8 Lightning.

    Note the new specs for both in the ship matrix. The standard Hornet no longer has a nose gun option, you have the chin turret instead, not as a choice. The Super Hornet, on the other hand is allowed Size 2 weapons on the chin turret and Size 3 on the Top turret. I thought I noticed a change in...

    Sabre Raven

    And don't have an open PCIE slot. I suppose you could put one in a Alienware Graphics Amplifier or a Razer Core, but that would be a serious waste of that box.

    I like the look, hate the specs and don't need a new SSD. Pass.

    DiscoLando is an enemy of our org

    Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure they're the balls I like best.

    So I had a thought (Mines?)

    It is, but I am not the one that performed thread necromancy on it. :)

    So I had a thought (Mines?)

    Given the volume of space, mines and carpet bombing space have about the same general effectiveness. You have to either know the exact route to be traveled well in advance or have a bazillion mines and are defending a point target. Mines have to be silent, but also have to detect targets. That...

    HTML is HTML, but as far as ecommerce, I have done work with a few. Most recently Magento.

    Is this SQ42 pirate ship?

    It is a Space Hulk, just out of the warp. It is probably full of Genestealers. Send in the Terminators to cleanse it.

    New Ship Matrix

    An Alpha game with a website where they are selling things based on bad information. Fixing stats would take no more than 6 man hours per month, it isn't like they don't have enough employees or enough money for such a simple task.
