I think it's a bit anal to quibble over whether the Avenger and 300 are actually "starter ships". I seem to recall the vast majority of the players in this forum deciding the Titan was the best starter ship just a year or so ago and it has held that title for years. Players driving the Reliant...

I've watched a dozen reviews on this now and will do a meta-review in a few days. This is maybe the best review I've seen thus far: View: https://youtu.be/S2OWaIw9gC4 I want to live on this ship more than any other I've seen to date, for many, many reasons. However, according to SC...

Gets my vote for sexy as can be.

I'm sorry but we simply disagree here. I have 4 friends who have started with the 315P on my recommendation.

I want to agree (spruce top dreadnaughts sound best! Hardwoods look prettier, but I toted a spruce topped 12 string around Europe for 2 years and can tell you there's nothing better for open air performances) but based upon dozens of notes I've seen online, many if not most practiced players...

IMHO, if you want to compare ship ranges, best is look at the range with Civilian class A installed. Every ship has a different fuel efficiency and actual range is more a figure of merit than something reflecting the cost to refuel. As to cost of starter ships, yeah. The Cutter is shockingly...

I'm surprised to see this here. Didn't we come to understand this was an old design some employee at CIG leaked and there is no such ship planned for development? The design is old, and probably predates the Perseus. My guess is the Perseus is what was released instead of this.

Apart from the aesthetics which I agree this ship is keen on; what recommends this ship past the ability to carry some of the smaller vehicles, and is that really the key to a good starter? Both the Titan and 300 series are much faster, much more maneuverable, have twice the shield, better guns...

I agree it is a cool ship. It feels like a recreational vehicle you can live out of. It can fit vehicles, which is not true of any of the other starters, but that is the only thing that can recommend it. Flying this ship will get beginners killed for exactly the reason I gave. This game was...

Just remember, the Cutter can been seen at twice the distance as the Aurora, Mustang, Avenger and 300 series ships. It is a flying target. Please lets all stop pretending that seeing and being seen doesn't matter. Only idiots think that. Lets all please start thinking about how this game is...

CIG had said they weren't going to do any more modular ships because they don't make enough on them, and the fact they still haven't released modules for the vanguard, Tally etc., does lend support to that notion. So yeah, it looks to me the Galaxy was an old design that was passed over and...

The Drake way

The Polaris will be out before the Perseus or the Galaxy, and I think once players taste that ship they'll be addicted as like no other.

10% faster than a 325A? That is really, really fast for a starter ship. So ugly it has an appeal. Need to know more.

Precisely correct. CIG has been relentless in designing so that every ship has an Achilles heal. Virtually every ship has a weakness. It's no surprise this ship has one or more too. If you want a ship with no significant weaknesses, you need to go up to the Idris. It was designed around the...

A Frigate is generally considered the smallest "ship pf the line", meaning the smallest fleet warship. It is one step up from a Corvette. The Idris was originally planned to be a Corvette, but its size went up and up during early design until be finally was reclassified as a Frigate.

My bad. The Idris is in the 9-Tails events. Technically not a bounty mission. Point is most often it is not shooting back, and to my knowledge we’ve never seen its guns manned by players. I think people will be surprised to find how effective the Idris turrets are when properly manned. Em, well...

Agreed with all said, but it does beg the question of why stop at a 5 man crew. If you go to the 11 man crew of the Polaris, you get all the benefits of all the modules for the Galaxy at once, with the possible exception of cargo size; you get a much larger vehicle bay (I believe with ramp...

The Slayer cannon on the Tonk has an alpha strike of 18,500, but recall it only fires once every five seconds, has a slower than normal projectile speed and much shorter range than other S5 weapons. And yes, one of the releases says S5 turrets, but the ship is clearly wearing S5 guns in both...

I have to wonder what this thing would be like in close ground support, hovering over the battlefield with 6 Slayer cannons doing over 100k damage with each strike. The turrets would be able to take out 3 Novas each shot. If the module allows for Tonk transport, this may be the ultimate hot...
