The mighty Javalin arrives: View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1NPVPHM26HI

We don’t know how much improvement will be possible by swapping out engines. If the 600i was designed for econominal touring and the thrusters can be replaced with something that will make it rotate 20*/s faster, that ship could become extremely useful. The explorer already has a lot going for...

I think the Idris has a shop where you can regularly repair all ship’s components. If that’s so you need a dedicated engineering team so you can iverclock virtually everything. Still, I’m holding out for an M model. The Outsiders are thoughtfully tending mine at present, and expecting me to...

I think you need to ask yourself two questions before any of the answers will be meaningful. First, is this for solo or group play? Second, does it need to be good at anything other than bombing? The most utilitarian of all the bombers is certainly the Sentinel with the Harbinger module...

It will take some obscure reasoning to not make a slot for the quantum snare and dampener in a Polaris, Idris, etc.

How much more do you make for a live capture than a simpler kill? Seems kike it would need to be a lot to justify the time and expense of live capture. I think if you're not looking to bring them back alive, the Vanguards are all better hunters, especially the Sentinel.

I agree, I don't know where this leaves the Mantis, and I think they'll want $195 for it. Its a shame it is not a bit faster, or it would be worth adding to a vanguard fleet just for the quantum interdiction. I still wish they'd given the Cutty more gun and less missiles.

I'm looking forward to commands like "load the hangar" when I get home from work, "Combat mode" to turn everything in a ship on, "stealth mode" to turn off guns, shields, a reactor and a cooler, and "pulse cool" to turn on the secondary cooler for a predetermined period of a few seconds then...

Cross posting from Facebook. I can’t actually read this since I’m on my ohone, but may deserve a sticky: Hey folks, a few people up to now asked for some help with Voice Attack, in terms of having a nice profile already set up. Of course, I always stress on the benefits of doing these things...

Would like to see it in black and yellow, instead of yellow and black. Too much yellow. Looks like a bad snowcone.

May 22nd – May 23rd: Tumbril/RSI/Origin 325a: Origin’s sleek signature fighter, the 325a makes a great companion for finding your mark with style and sophistication. Aurora LN: Designed for dangerous combat situations, the Aurora LN comes with bigger shields and larger weapons that pack a...

I agree with this, but I think I failed to communicate what I was thinking here. I'm not talking about PvE as opposed to PvP. I'm talking about NPC escorts that allow the player to extend his presence against both AI and other players. The entire notion of an NPC escort pilot and prefigured...

Incidentaly, the HH looks disturbingly like the Scimitar, which was a very close runner-up for the starship contest the Redeemer won. Many folks think the Scimitar should have won, and in a sense it did when they made the HH, though the Scimitar was a much better design than the stupid hollow...

One of the reasons I love the Sentinel, and chide players for thinking and choosing what can be done with any ship, is that we really need to think in many ways of what can be done with several ships. Escort AI, or "ship AI" is contingent upon an NPC in the pilot's seat (we think), but the AI is...

This is a big deal, and though it is new; one hopes CIG will work it into game as a normal sort of radar. The work on this actually goes back more than half decade. This is the first time academics have made it work. Could be they've had this at Lockheed Martin for half decade. I would not...

I'll bet they made the change so that they can fit everything inside. That was the original point behind gimble assist. Do you know anyone who has fired a turret from a fast maneuvering ship like the Hurricane, Vanguard, or even the Cutty? I doubt this will outmaneuver the Cutty. Anyway, you...

I know people talk about me behind my back. They are envious of my tow jam. What they don't get is you can have tow jam too, just. . . What? Oh. Nevermind.

It won't piss off the people who already bought it. Recall, the Harbinger is already up to $290 so you should expect the Redeemer to be at least $315. It's a five person ship. If they put the right guns on it and make it fast enough, they can get $400 easily. Certainly after such a long wait...

The problem is in part that the Aegis style guide emerged as a thing after this design. The other Aegis ships already shared enough in common that the brand came together, but this really looks more MISC to me. Still, seems they are pursuing it. This was in the 3.9.1 leaks. I'm shocked it...

I don't think the original had a rear facing remote turret. . .but I like it!
