    The Freelancer MIS is a BEAST!

    Yes. The older component sheet listed missile range and tracking range separately. I think it was dropped in the current, but I don't have time right now to check. Also, the tracking range is somewhat arbitrary in that is it for some specific target magnitude and the target size changes bases...

    I have always thought if they would put all of the qualities of the DUR, MIS and MAX together, THAT would be a potent missileboat. With a second set of engines one supposes the Max is pretty fast when empty.

    That's the Polaris bridge in my sig. BTW, the 3D holographic map is a real thing. https://www.zmescience.com/research/new-interactive-military-holographic-3d-map-by-darpa-3214344/

    The Freelancer MIS is a BEAST!

    Yeah, I was just looking at the missile rack page. Obviosly they will put severe limitations on this. I had no idea they had made efforts to actually implement what they had said about reducing a size and doubling the number. However, if you look at the missile rack tab, and follow the logic...

    Pretty sure the Raptors lock and fly twice that far. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SPwKk5FsOH3dyMBIQrELpQRW6f1vzqrbJtMHg_bVZLM/edit#gid=63043860

    The Freelancer MIS is a BEAST!

    I think it is for the same reason the Hoplite is green. Something due to military status. Doesn't mean you can't put it in black Void Armor, or some other. Totally dominates over the Andromeda, IMHO.

    So it still seems you could load 4, S4 missiles? Just FYI, but the S4's are over-the-top, with tracking to 20km. I'm not fond of birds this slow. It's half the speed of a Vanguard, but no joke; S4's are a game-changer for me. If CIG comes up with Arrester IVs, I would buy this bird for...

    Anyone here know where the update for this is? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SPwKk5FsOH3dyMBIQrELpQRW6f1vzqrbJtMHg_bVZLM/edit#gid=676362496

    Please allow I make the suggestion I have made before in similar circumstances. You own the battlefield from 9-~4 km. Don't close on opponnents inside 6km. Plan to take them out with missiles at range. You do not need your guns. Instead, consider using the 4 scatterguns for anti-missile...

    The Freelancer MIS is a BEAST!

    Okay so, here's a guy who actually shows you the top of the ship and you can see there are two missile launchers. Also, if you look at his screen, you can see that at some point in time, he had 19 missiles. We don't know from this vid how many missiles the bird carries because he did not tell...

    The Freelancer MIS is a BEAST!

    That is huge. Has anyone confirmed this? The only youtube vid I have seen of the MIS had cargo in the hold, and no misslile launcher, so I hesitate to say what the MIS actually is. If it's flyable, why are there no vids showing things like missile fire rate--a key component to whether this...

    I don't think CIG cares nor will intervene to get your money back from hookers.

    Highlander Fleet time

    Once the Sons of Orion mission storyline is active, you should be able to earn a respectable living killing Vanduul Void Bombers and the like. That is really what the Polaris was built for. You will however need an expert crew you can trust, or you will find yourself quite dead. Void Bombers...

    The Hawk is awesome!

    The Lancer, all four Vanguards and the 600i all work fine for small team bounty hunting. They're all fast, they can all disable with S3 missiles or guns, and they all have room for your catch. If you want to rely on guns and stealth, the Prowler will do the job too. Of these the Vanguards...

    Did you think every CIG employee's every word was corporate policy? Apart from getting the poor sod some disciplinaty measures, I doubt there's much you can do. Certainly CIG isn't going to change policy based upon what some employee said in chat. You can always melt the package, no?

    The Hawk is awesome!

    Yes, there are three ways to disable a ship: distortion weapons, spike missiles and EMPs. Distortion weapons have very limited range, as does the EMP, but spike missiles have long ranges. At present it appears spike missiles will be hard to get. The only ones presently showing are the...

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    Well, I'll shamefully note what I have in the past. Over ten years ago I was dissing Apple and in specific, Macs, to the guy who is the number one guy at NASA working with Ames' new supercomuter. He responded by spanking my ass and telling me what I didn't know about Apple. So in response I...

    [Video] 3.4 Roadmap and beyond

    I agree with all Toys has said, but I'm disappointed they bumped the Defender up before the Sentinel.
