    Hercules military transport

    Looks like the base model has 4, S3 remote turrets. The Military transport adds a single S3 chin mount. The gunship adds 4 more turrets some of which are S4 and S5. They balanced the ship by limiting the arc of fire from the turrets, so the three forward facing turrets cannot fire on the...

    Hercules military transport

    I love the Spooky/Spectre/Stinger/Ghostrider. One of my partners' sons is flying AC-130s in Afghanistan right now. The thing they all seem to have in common is long duration, extended range flight, and at least one big-ass gun mounted where you would normally put cargo. Those turret mounts...

    Hercules military transport

    I haven't seen the promo materials so very limited to what I can guess, but just want to point out that the note of VTOL is probably a Red Herring. I can't think of any SC ships that don't have VTOL. There was special mention of the Prowler providing some sort of special VTOL ability but it...

    Hercules military transport

    Wow. I can't see who manufactures it, but rounded surfaces looks could be MISC. I'm guessing $500-550, troop, equipment, and civilian cargo? BTW, the Hercules is the C-130 turboprop. The Starlifter is the C-141 turbojet. They again named after US inventory.

    First draft images of the JR Fabs SC PC Crate I won are in

    That is too cool. You know, if you leave the SC logo off, and get written permission to use the TEST colors and logo, and could 3D print this shape out of plastic and offer it with and without the pi, odds are good you could turn some pesos selling these at Cons and such. Especially at Cosplay...

    Maybe a Hull C? I thought we were due for a Hull, weren't we?

    State of the Squadron 30

    I would tell my boss if he doesn't let me go play at CitizenCon I will shit on his head while cackling like an old witch. The flees of a thousand camels will infest his armpits if he doesn't let me go. Unnatural electrical storms will plague his person and cats will lie down with dogs...

    So... Concept sale...

    While I don't expect it, I will hold out hope for an Aegis gunboat the size of the Redeemer. I still think it odd they had so much work done on that excellent design and set it aside after having sold it to the folks. While there is room for improvement there, especially needing bigger guns...

    What is so special about TEST Squadron?

    Amen to that. How many of us have been part of groups that were filled with gaming tyrant drama? I take myself sseriously. I just don't take YOU seriously. No, but seriously, this Kenlee has it right. Why else focus on Auroras and skunky beer? Absolutely. The biggest selling point is we...

  12. Shadow Reaper

    What is that?

    Could be. Is very different from the early Vanduul art. In particular the face is much wider at top and narrower at bottom, and the teeth are longer and pointier, but could be the Vanduul. Also looks like the face is softer--doesn't have the shell-like appearance and it has nostrils and lips...

    A Kr'Thak? at time index 2:20? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcRqd8p3a0A Here are the races: http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Races I'm not spotting it so it looks like a first glance at the Kr'Thak to me. IIUC, this is a rename for the original "Krell" who were not...

    Flying the Shadow Reaper

    See that is frustrating to me. The official explanation is that EMP, spike missiles and distortion cannons all disable the computer, and when that goes down, so do the subsystems, which always include the engines. But if the Raven and Warlock act differently, then that explanation is incorrect...

    Flying the Shadow Reaper

    That's what I thought. I wonder if it is a power management issue that he can't fire the Pyros while recharging the EMP, or is it the EMP broadcasts position and ruins the stealth of the Raven. Or both. I can see there could be reasons to pulse less, but unfortunately, the pilot is not...
  16. Shadow Reaper

    which would you rather have. . .

    Last I heard the current plan was to limit the number of times you can spawn the same name, and after about ten deaths you need to change your name. Also the spawn time grows the more deaths you have. Who knows what they'll do though. That was a couple years ago I think. Definitely they will...

    Flying the Shadow Reaper

    So if you pulse a pirate Connie as we see here, and your friend flies in quickly with half dozen Marines, and they blow the bridge screen with a boarding charge, you can take the ship and call it yours?

    which would you rather have. . .

    Yeah, the Crucible is highly underrated, IMHO. One significant difference in SC may be though, that NPCs and especially PCs, will be less lilkely to abandon a damaged bird but may instead fight to the last breath, so boarding is called for.

    Netbooks

    Okay so yeah, this is what I need to know. What is a Chromebook? A quick check at EBay has HP, Samsung and ASUS all selling Chromebooks, and they all seem to be Win 10. They're about twice the cost of an Android netbook ($180 instead of $80, unless you buy refurbished--then they are the same...

    Netbooks

    Yeah, but either I misunderstand or I was not clear. I'm a Mac user so Windows is not familiar. There's no advantage there. The question is whether to pay for the more expensive Windows 10 netbook or a much cheaper Android netbook. It needs to be able to run things like Apache Open Office to...
