HH is designed as a patrol boat, not a ship of the line. You can argue whether corvettes are authentic ships of the line, becasue experience shows if you want to win a battle, you can put them in fleet engagements, but if you want to win a war, you do not. That ambiguity, caused by the fact...

Don't be sorry! That's not a crazy request. That's a very cool request! If you need a sexy female voice speaking English with a Russian accent, let me know and I'll ask some people who would be happy to earn some voice credits. I suspect they'd do it for free so long as it is not very long.

If you get stuck without enough Q fuel to get to a refueling station, there are smaller ships that can come to your aid than the Starfarer. I think though, if you run out of fuel you're stuck until someone comes to refuel you. The opportunities for price gouging are going to be pretty huge...

Woodward's group at Cal State Fullerton is working through their NIAC Phase II funding right now, and NASA is changing the NIAC funding mechanism to allow for Phase III funding for the first time, so they can continue to support Woodward's work. Is very exciting. It appears NIAC Phase III will...

Okay so, there are actually three uses for the quantum drive? You can jump normally. You can jump "orbitally" which is much lower field, shorter distance--a kind of "microjump", and you can use the drive to open a wormhole and make a much longer jump. Makes sense. I'd like to learn more...

I have two friends at church who work for USCG. They both jump out of perfectly good helicopters into the sea during hurricanes. Talk about nuts. . .

The IR here is 3X higher than the Hardpoint calculator says it (actually, the Kore) should be, and really the calculator has more reasonable numbers. 10k in standby is too high. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKV0pAw9Iw

They're due in three months, brother! I could just pee myself--which is a reason to drag your leg around, drool out the corner of your mouth, and play pirate. Pirates do that. It's like somoeone was cheerleading and shouted "give me a P !!!" and well. . .

Looks like a Yellow Jacket to me. Pretty awesome.

Yes! and it may well yet be. . . but the 'Claimer can't claim anything until it is beaten senseless by other means, such as an Arrester III, and it doesn't have missiles at all.

I'm liking the ship more, but I have to wonder how they thought that would sell them. They certainly failed to show off the ships coolest bits. I'd say that was the worst promo vid I've seen, and the raven's vid was very disappointing too. Still thinking the Eclipse's vid was the best...

Yeah, and there are other problems too. I'm not gonna be too concerned until we know more about radar, NPC pilots, and the actual size of the Polaris bay, but I think it is likely it will grow at least enough to fit up to 6 Razors, so although that's not a firm plan, that's a notion for a...

According to the rumor above, two space turtles will fit the Polaris Hangar, though you'll chip the paint since they will be touching. I have thought about the Turtles quite a bit. The problem in identifying the best solution is first that we don't know what size the hangar will be and second...

I'm guessing. It's only a guess. They don't need to all fit at once anyway. They only need to refuel. However, it does seem if they'll fit, they'll make large jumps much, much more quickly. The benefit of using them as stealth recon spotters for the Polaris Torps is they will coast...

I don't have a fleet. I don't have a game package yet. I don't have a gaming machine and it wouldn't do me any good right now. I work more than 70 hours/week right now. Hoping that will end soon.

I'm interested in combat, but not so much dogfighting. I am waiting to find out how useful the NPC pilots are. I'm interested in working with at least one other starting with a Hoplite or Sentinel, and adding Vanguards over time. If just a couple guys can lead an attack wing of Vanguards and...

Once the game is out in its full glory, with a whole wide universe to explore, travel times are going to become a serious consideration, and for the kinds of transport you describe I think you want both a very high quantum speed and range. You can find these here in a version that will no doubt...

Did CIG endorse this particular sequence? Navies around the world have differed many times in how to name/describe ships. Destroyers have gone from the tiniest cap ships to the largest and most places between. Many designation tyes don't recognize things like "BattleCruiser", etc. I'm just...
