    Buddy System

    That's like when the bartender tries to cut you off and doesn't know you already stole a bottle of tequila, so you don't care. But you're "limited" to tequila.

    That's just Owl. He sleeps like that when he's had almost enough to drink.

    Officer Record: Tyberius Sun-Tzu Kain

    Tyberius Sun-Tzu Kain gained entry into the esteemed UEE Naval Academy at the ripe age of 16. He finished his undergraduate in Tactical Science at age 19 and Masters in Strategic Studies by age 21, and then entered active duty as a promising young bridge officer aboard the UEE Simon Wedgly, a...

    Anvil Carrack - Reverse the Verse - The Shape of Ships (Dec-2018)

    I agree if they lose the 2 floor bridge design it will be a great loss, but I see nothing in the simulation that suggests this--only that they haven't worked up the second floor yet. If they drop the second floor the ship would lose much of its appeal to me. I really loved the cathedral...

    Highlander Fleet time

    Polaris. Not too big, not too small, fast for its size, can do many different kinds of tasks from running freight to attacking Vanduul Void Bombers, and most importantly--it has a pool table. You poor sods who go without pool, whatever do you do when focusing hard on your drinking? Do you at...

    New Failure to Report video blasting SC.

    I managed through less than two minutes of the whining. That pansy boy needed to be spanked as a toddler. He's all girlieman and we don't want him in our game.

    Fleet meltdown...

    I'm not sure you can land a Kraken, so probably not more versatile. With as much cash as you have in, you might consider fly the Idris first since it will be out years earlier, and move up to the Javelin when it gets released, which again will probably be years before the Kraken. If once the...

    Idris - not any time soon

    The 890 is not a capital ship. People can argue whether the Polaris or any Corvette is a capital ship or not, but generally to be a capital ship one needs to be a "ship of the line". IN the SC universe, the smallest cap class hip is the Idris. This is a different nomenclature than used for...

    Theorycrafting / Question about medical gameplay and large battle logistics:

    IIUC, a bed may give you a choice to respawn there, but you have to set your spawn point. Not sure if this was official or some past theorycrafting, but IIRC the notion came up in discussions of why beds on ships are important. I know the presence of a bed serves to allow the ship itself to...

    Theorycrafting / Question about medical gameplay and large battle logistics:

    I think that is objectively true and hopefully will be true of replacing munitions, fuel, providing repairs, etc., but I also think if you own a Polaris for example; you will want to keep a dozen marines on it constantly, so that you can't be boarded and so you can pose an imediate threat to any...

    Theorycrafting / Question about medical gameplay and large battle logistics:

    There is a ton that CIG has not committed to yet so it's painfully difficult to theorycraft here, but IIUC, they have said NPCs will not respawn. You can heal them, but when they die they are dead and don't come back--NPCs really do suffer permadeath. And IMHO, NPCs may well become the single...

    What's the state of fighters?

    So borrow one. I'm sure people here in the forum have dozens of them they seldom fly. I doubt the flight rework is going to change the general characteristics of most ships. They're mostly flying as intended. Besides, I want to hear the stories of what happens when someone flies the...

    What's the state of fighters?

    It's not just the Arrow. Switch in and out of landing mode and the bug may disappear.

    What's the state of fighters?

    Welcome back, Owl! Word is, current patch is kickin'! Go fly. Someone even said recently the Vanguards are fast, but he didn't explain what he meant.

    Anniversary Sale Megathread - See First Post for Links - Ends Dec 4

    Sounds like you want a SuperHornet loaded for bear, and with the best shields you can get. However I do recommend looking into the Raven as an alternative. It looks pretty entertaining to me the way they fight, and it does open up some interesting gameplay against larger targets. You don't...

    What is your combat fighting style like? Do oyu like to dance around and avoid incoming, joust, or just point and shoot until something dies?

    I think it's intended as a specialized bomber. If you want to bomb terrestrial targets, seems the best choice.

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    No. The official word from CIG is this should be the most difficult task in the game, and Vanduul ships self-destruct, so your options will be very limited. Flying outlaw makes it even harder i think, but there should be a place for nice guy boarding parties.

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    It's a stealth boarding ship. You can drop peeps planetary if you like, but it is specialized to sneak up on unsuspecting craft, blast them with blinding distortion and deliver party favors. What's more fun that loaning ships off others? Seriously, that is a bargain.
