  1. Shadow Reaper

    the Sentinel

    A friend asked how I would equip this for general use. I would certainly fly 8 S3 missiles and be the first to fire in any engagement. You have medium radar and should seek to fire from stealth mode with shields down. For guns I would go all Ballistic--six Scorpions and a Revenant. They don't...

    the Sentinel

    The Sentinel has much less armor and shields than the Harby, but it also has about half the EM signature with everything turned on 40k v 22k. It appears someone input the wrong reactors in the Hardpoint for the Harby and Sentinel, because the Sentinel's GammaMax dumps 3,866 EM for a ship total...

    Great turnout tonight

    Where are the monsters? Shouldn't there be cave monsters?

    more sim pit stuff

    That has been my plan for most of the last year, but I really would like a wrap around feel and the difference in price in the monitors is minimal. I think though, 3 4k monitors is going to require a second graphics card so it turns out to be much more expensive than it seems. Still not sure...

    the Sentinel

    Yeah, I have followed the Sentinel since it's first mention and they never said a word about this that I have seen. Perhaps even more importantly, it is the only long range bird with stealth built in. One supposes the reactor housing has special protection, like the Hoplite has special armor...

    the Sentinel

    I gotta say the look of that workstation in midships is just friggin' packed full of AWESOME!!!! It would be cool though to have the choice of the EMP or the S5 torps and still have stealth, etc. Can't wait to see what combinations are possible.

    the Sentinel

    So can anyone confirm that differences other than the paint scheme still exist between the variants? For instance, the Hoplite is slower but carries more armor. Is that still true if you swap in the sentinel gear? The Sentinel has stealth, which probably means a box around the reactors to...

    the Sentinel

    My guess is even this above has changed since the Sentinel's EMP generator is in the place of the Harbinger's S5 torps. But the point is, these older BUKs are not going to be offered by CIG, so if you want them you need to buy them somewhere like EBay?

    the Sentinel

    Can someone explain to me how this can be for sale, when the Sentinel is not for sale? Maybe there is something different available to those who have game packages than what I can see? I prefer the Hoplite frame, since it has more armor, despite it is a little slower. I would like to be able...

    . . .has an EMP Generator and comes with stealth? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CW0sfoVjvM

    What to do with my Gladius?

    Are you flying with all fixed weapons?

    What to do with my Gladius?

    Given your stated goals, I would want a Hoplite, a Sentinel BUK, and all the toys to outfit either for any specific task (which is just what I intend.) It will be very interesting to see if the Vanguard can fit an S1 and an S2 reactor. If it can, it will be a premium stealth bounty hunter. No...

    Banu Defender commercial

    I think it would be great in a small group to tank with, but the leaked online vid is unimpressive to me, and I just can't adapt to having so much forward view blocked by your own ship. I think the point is that the second seat angles the shields and the pilot kills targets, so drawing fire...

    With 3.7 around the corner, what will be next for you ?

    We must be looking at different sources. According to Hardpoint, the FR-66 is 6,120 cap/306 regen, but the Palisade has 7,920 cap and the Mirage has 342 regen. FR-76 same kind of thing: 24,793/310, but the Rampart has 32,085 cap and the Umbra has 346 regen. These were the leaders until the...

    I murdered a javelin today

    If I were building that sort of fleet, I think I'd want at least 3 Nautilus and a Mantis before I'd want a second Jav. I think we'll see Nautilus going out in groups. I'm curious what folks would pay for a captured Bengal.

    With 3.7 around the corner, what will be next for you ?

    The original claims about the Tevrin shields were that they do not cover the entire ship, so have to have someone actively point them in the direction damage is coming from, but that they were stronger and recovered faster than UEE shields. I do not recall any connection with the Banu, but this...

    With 3.7 around the corner, what will be next for you ?

    So is this the directable shield the Tevarin were famous for, and will it come in the Prowler?

    With 3.7 around the corner, what will be next for you ?

    I am hoping to actually have time to play for the first time during 3.7, if I can get a gaming machine together. To start I want to explore the bounty hunting missions with a Sentinel/Harbinger/Hoplite. That would be my first ship: one of the three with the BUKs for the other two. I may start...

    RSI Mantis reveal

    I want to agree, but then we'd see many, many more of them in the 'verse and I doubt that would be a good thing. Tackling like this should require a group, IMHO, or players will use it to grief. If you can't take the target, you're just annoying people. I'd rather have less annoyance and real...
