    What's your guy's opinion on the new citizencon ships?

    Agreed, but if you want to run cargo in a military vessel, the Carrack is a better choice, IMHO. It may be slower, but the huge scan radius will keep you safer, and it hauls a lot more.

    Is anyone going to buy the Kraken?

    Why buy something you can loan offin' another? I can sell you a few though, them's got the cash when the time comes.

    The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!

    That's true, but they're not designed to operate singly. If you put say one sentinel, two Harbingers and three Hoplites together, you have a formidable strike force that can pretend to be something else, and could outfight a Polaris. The nice thing is even though they cost much more, they cost...

    Ship prices in UEC

    Yeah, but if you factor in the R&D costs for the F-35, and add that to the cost of each fighter, it will be the first fighter in history that costs more than $1B@. If we buy few enough of them, which seems likely because they suck so bad; they could go over $2B@. So ask yourself why we sell...

    What's your guy's opinion on the new citizencon ships?

    My opinion on the Kraken is, if you want a pocket carrier, now you have one choice. N'uff said. I think it is too early to have an opinion on the Valkyrie. We need to know about speed and how much a hit it can take. In general, I think the idea of a large target, slow dropship with lots of...

    Ship prices in UEC

    I think it is way too early to say the prices are excessive. In the past, players were flying missions every ten minutes and earning 7k@. If you were racing or hauling oyu could make more, and macsand2 broke 1 million credits pretty quickly. So how can you say this or that is overpriced? The...

    The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!

    I always suggest buy and fly what is available, rather than wait and wonder what a ship will be like. There is plenty of time to swap out stuff in the future. The Vangards are going to be hard to beat, especially in atmo.

    The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!

    I don't think it has cargo plates. Nothing listed, but if vehicles count as cargo, one could argue; whcih may be why nothing on the ships page. Wait until some speed numbers come in. If the Hoplite is twice as fast, could still be the better choice. Fighting from a transport is generally a...

    The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!

    so it has 4, S3 turrets, plus 2 fixed S2? Fun vid. Is expensive, but pretty much a beefed up Cutty. Medium gear all around, and has a jump drive so hard to see why it wouldn't be good for distance travel. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RmaaxMW2uQ

    https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/anvil-valkyrie/Anvil-Valkyrie https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/anvil-valkyrie/Anvil-Valkyrie-Liberator-Edition No, I don't believe the "ready to fly" claim. . .can it truly be?

    Hurricane Michael in the Gulf

    I have several friends look like they will get hit by the worst of the storm, and one with homes both in the panhandle and in Atlanta--looks like he could get hit twice.

    I finished watching all 4 seasons of Star Wars Rebels last night!

    I think the best starting point is the live action movies watched in the order they were produced. Animated series then broadens out the universe. First thing is you identify with the world from seeing people in person. While we're on it. I loved Solo, but I do not like what Disney decided to...

    anyone ever use this?

    Well it looks like engineers (which is what I'm concerned with) generally train in Solidworks and Maya. It's an extra $4k to pay for Solidworks over FreeCAD but I think we'll get that back in time spent quickly enough. Turns out this gives a good list of the features you don't get with...

    I finished watching all 4 seasons of Star Wars Rebels last night!

    Yeah, I loved the first three seasons, and Thrawn is also my favorite villain after Maul. I used to love to hate Agent Callous, but. . . No spoilers. Season 4 is not in the library yet but should be soon.

    Hammerhead vs Polaris

    Why not get the Hammerhead when it comes out and then trade up to the Polaris later on? You may decide by then to have one of each, and since you can earn them in game, why not? Go with what you can fly first, IMHO. And that from a huge Polaris fan.

    New Fallout 76 trailer - Sept 27

    There is a cheezy freeware phone app based on this same storyline, was actually pretty fun.
