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

    You got a break for buying early. The prices should go up. The earlier you commit to anything, the more you should save. Those guys who put pennies down years ago should have something more than bragging rights, and our thanks for that.

    My guess is very few will jump at the Electronic Warfare Officer role for the Sentinel. If you're a strategic thinker rather than a tactical dogfighter, the second seat in the Sentinel looks to me will be fabulous fun, and there is still a turret to man, so plenty of busy. Anyone who flies a...

    Not lovin' the new fighter. Still don't think we need to see more fighters, but a Sabre that weighs another 50% doesn't seem to me to have much going for it, and they didn't even try to sell it on its merits. What were those merits? you may ask. We don't know. Prowler is up $25. Could be worse.

    Something we need to do.

    I think that's true, but it really is a very different activity to make a vid for its own sake, and viding something else you're doing. What we're talking about is scripting something so the end product is of a finished video, that says we're way kewl and people wish they were us. Lets face...

    Which of the Vanguards is that?
  6. Shadow Reaper

    Something we need to do.

    Very way kewl. Hey, I can imagine TEST doing seasonal vids like this only scripted and shot from a separate video craft. Anyone here a good video editor? So for example how many Vanguards could we gather for a strike team and post them not only leaving a jump point together, to actually...

    On top of the Expo Idris

    He jumped from an overflying Aurora.

    On top of the Expo Idris

    Was certainly worth trying to get in. Imagine if CIG had left the doors unlocked. Sovapid would be wearing legendary status right now. And what if he could have stollen it? That is full on "MYTHIC SHADOW WARRIOR, PLEASE TAKE MY SISTER, THE PIZZA AND ALL OF THE BEER!" status.

    Fighting at 7 km

    Yes, this is exactly as I suspected. This is why I think the Vanguards working together are going to become the standard strike platform for boarding in space. With a single Sentinel to fly point and confuse the target "oh, there's a Lancer coming in", a Harbinger or two and a Hoplite or two...

    What is behind the notion of them selling a specific number and no more? Just to create supply issues to keep the prices up?

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    They are obviously the best. And about the Esperia costing too much, think of what you can earn with a Prowler, and ask how it could possibly cost too much. I want that bird expensive so we don't see them everywhere.

    Fighting at 7 km

    I have no game package and no gaming machine. I won't be playing for at least another season.

    Vanguard tweaks in the future?

    I don't know what the original concept was like, but if I had my druthers, certainly all four variants would be swappable from the frame of the Hoplite, the top turret would hold the same 4S3 as the Hurricane, and the Warden would be able to carry 4 cargo.

    Fighting at 7 km

    Is there anyone here who can put an M7A on something and tell us what they can hit at 7 km? I'm a huge Vaguard, Prowler and Polaris fan, and general fan of S5 guns. The M7A lasers will hit out to 7 km, and that is out of range for all other guns S1-S5 as well as all S1 and S2 missiles. So it...

    Wow. The HH went to $725? What was it before? I thought it was back near $400. This is the cost of a Corvette.

    Idris P "Upgrade" Clarification

    Can you tell us how recent your info is and where it came from? I am curious becasue when the detail on the Idris was last made available (that I'm aware of) was before the decision to include S7-9 weapons. The Kraken was the first to include 8 S8 guns, and it appears it is much more heavily...

    SALE HYPE! What are your fleet plans?

    Just a friendly word of warning to those considering an Idris--frigates are ships of the line. They're intended for extended fleet engagements. They can take real hits unlike any smaller ship, but they are not intended for hit and run tactics. They stand in the open and fire at other, very...

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    So do you find yourself fighting under 2k range in order to use the ballistics, or do you go back and forth? The thing I hate about S1 guns is the tiny range--seems to me a huge disadvanatge unless you are jousting. I'm always curious how pilots cope with that.
