    Piecing together a TEST Tuxedo

    For the cuff links I think you can go off theme a bit. Links are too small for checks. There are a kajillion oddball space-oriented cufflinks. I know, I just searched and was overwhelmed. You can actually get stuff that ranges from pictures of the Moon, spiral nebula, Star Trek, Star Wars...

    I was honestly not sure if I really needed an 890J...

    I agree completely, though I would note that there are some exceptions. If you want to build a strike team exclusively with Vanguards, you can likely do that here at TEST. However, if you wanted to send a strike team of all Eclipse, you could have trouble. Most players won't own that bird, so...

    Piecing together a TEST Tuxedo

    Yes, checks all the way. I would say one criteria for the jacket, go as blazing bright as you can find. Check bow tie and suspenders if you can find them. Any black dress shoes will work. The question is the top hat and cane. . . Certainly you need something to bonk people with who doubt...

    The New Reliants

    Unfortunately, though this notes the Tana has 2S2 plus 2S3 lasers, he doesn't note which are fixed or gimballed and the ships page is out of date. The Hardpoint calculator hasn't been upgraded yet. Can anyone here tell us what the Tana brings to the battle? How are the guns mounted, which...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    The Corsair side turrets are 2xS3 each. The front guns are 4XS4 gimballed, or 4XS5 fixed. That is a ton of firepower. If the Corsair rotates at a decent speed, it is going to be most deadly with fixed guns. If it is pokey, it will be a little less deadly with 4XS4 gimballed, but with the new...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    You can do that with any ship. You can install AI for turrets and they'll work. You can hire NPCs, each trained to one specific task only, and as turret gunners they'll work a little better than straight AI. You can hire PCs and they'll work better still. The problem is not the lack of AI...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    Wiki currently lists the 600i Explorer at $475. https://starcitizen.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_ship_and_vehicle_prices The Carrack will no doubt go to $500 before or when it is released. All the big ships are getting bigger. The 890 Jump is $890. I guess that thought that was funny.

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    I only left the 600i out of this comparison because of the leap in price, but it is fair to compare it against these three. Just note it is literally twice as expensive. Also, I think people will be pleased at what a great ship the Carrack is to "lounge around in". We don't have numbers for...

    The New Reliants

    Worth watching to the end. The original Tana was slated to have 10, S1 missiles. Looks like it now has 16, S2 missiles. That could make the Tana a serious contender, IMHO. Will be good to see some combat footage and compare the lock times against the gold standard which is the Vanguard...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    My bad, but you get my point. Aegis doesn't have a carrier. That is the proper way to think of what a capital ship is. CIG confuses the issue becasue there are so many saps who will buy a ship merely because someone called it a cap ship, or claimed it has cap ship components. The 890i is NOT...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    Yes, but if the crew are NPCs, they won't be skilled at more than one thing. If you want to use NPCs for protection, best you hire a pilot for whatever fighter you have, or a turret gunner. If you have PCs for crew, great to multi-task them, but I think we are going to see a lot of small and...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    BG noted the graphic on the announcement is of the tails of the Eclipse, so has hypothesized it will be an Aegis carrier. That sounds very reasonable to me since the Polaris, Javelin and Bengal are all RSI and Aegis ought to be after that market. View...

    Is anyone naming their ship The Planet Express?

    In that case I recommend you give them different names so others can tell which you're talking about. ::hic::

    Okay. So is there some connect between game dates and RL dates? This year is 2949?
  16. Shadow Reaper

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    If you have the pilot for an escort, aren't there a lot of other ships to choose from defense? I can't see why you'd want a P52 if you have the pilot for a Sabre, etc.

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    It doesn't say August. It says April, 2949, which is just a few weeks form the issuance of the note. I dunno what that means IRL time. How did you get August?

    Star Citizen ship comparison chart

    I was wondering about that too. According to the stats page, it should be much smaller than the Polaris, and <1/3 the mass. Obviously something has changed from its early appearance. I doubt it is close to the Idris, since that would be something like 8X the early mass projection, but it does...

    3.5 PTU Wave 1 (300i, 315p & 325a in game but presently disabled)

    I'm not a 300 series fan, but I love the new versions. Makes me rethink them.

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    Personally I'd prefer ships we can own and fly like Corvettes.
