    Good question.

    Its getting to be that concept time . . .

    The Rover is less interesting to me than the fact they plan a slew of F8s, a pair of Idris and a Javelin to all show up at the new space dock extension at once. I doubt the interiors of the cap ships are done, but that we'll see a real javelin is I think a first, isn't it?

    Its getting to be that concept time . . .

    I was looking at the 600i on Hardpoint the other day, and it gave me a painful reminder of the great heights from which we have fallen. If you'll recall, originally we were told in any gimble or turret you could step down a size and place two weapons. The Hardpoint calculator still says the...

    The fate of my Starfarer

    Unless you're hoping to buy a new concept at rock bottom prices, there seems little point to me investing in ships not in game. You can always buy ships in the future, so why not buy what you can fly now? The Farerer will go through some changes but we don't understand them all just yet, so...

    Its getting to be that concept time . . .

    A new medium class from Consolidated or Crusader would be nice. At this point though, I'd like to see the Nova, X1, and the Titansuit. I'd also like to see a traditional gunboat like the Redeemer or a new Corvette. We're always clamering for something to pretend is a gunboat. How about a...

    The Prowler's wing mounted S4s are gimballed. If you want fixed you could put S5s on.

    Three Prowler turrets on one Prowler?

    Wait for vid of it tryin' to dodge missiles. It is not going to be stealthy when loaded for dogfighting. Need to see what it does with missiles. Looks to me any Vanguard can take this out from 6 km. Doesn't matter how trendy and sexy you are when you're dead.

    Does the Carrack Turret fit?

    Stealth Recon

    So will there be a way to at least set an arbitrary direction so we can fly loose formations attached by scan radius?

    Stealth Recon

    Actually all the celestial bodies are fixed. Vehicles, weapons and asteroids are the only things moving. Stars, planets etc. do not move. This should not be hard.

    The Karna in Combat

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yn_5p7IWo8&t=4s Just a few points to note. It takes three full seconds to charge for a single, powerful hit, and less than this to squeeze out a full burst. Given 12 points damage for each hit in the burst (11 suppressed), I don't see the point unless...

    Stealth Recon

    I'm most interested in how to spot for the Polaris torps while hunting Vanduul. Several little craft like the EX and M50 should fit in the Polaris bay, which removes the troubles getting small ships with small Q drives in theater. But to the two points people seem to have neglected here: if...

    Stealth Recon

    It will be interetsing to see if the M50 can be fit with void armor and be just as stealthy as the EX. Because it has such a small beam nose, could be though it is bigger more of them will fit in a Polaris bay. There are two advantages the M50 has. The dash is far lower so it gives a much...

    Missile Choices 2

    There are other issues too. It really should not be the case you can fire all you missiles at once. If you have 4 racks and/or launchers, firing 4 missiles at once makes sense, but firing missiles that are internal, and waiting behind other missiles makes no sense at all. Because they allow...

    Missile Choices 2

    Well let me ask, you do recognize that no one likes slow firing weapons? No one likes slow to target weapons. No one likes budgeting fantastic amounts of energy to weapons. No one likes their weapons overheating. So if you're willing to put up with all this, don't you think the benefit ought...

    Missile Choices 2

    Now you're asking a question about what was said years ago, and I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you. You may recall though that several years ago, the intention was for all ballistics to penetrate shields 100% and that has been continually toned down. This latest evolution however...

    Well lets compare the first two, a Strife against a Scorpion. The Scorpion does about 30% higher damage. It carries more than 3X the ammo. Its projectiles are almost 40% faster to target so will hit more often. It takes 50% longer to overheat. For all these deficits the Strife suffers by...

    mix & match weapons

    Turns out the Nox will fit into a Pisces, so looks like ti will fit into the Vanguard as well. Still haven't located any vid of anyone firing the guns on the Nox. Seems so odd given it's use as a heavy machine gun. 1,600 rpm each of which will kill a person instantly along with a shield...
