Yes, this is true for now. However, given the way many of the ships have grown, I think it is pretty likely we'll see Vanguards fitting into the Polaris bay. We'll have to wait and see!

Try to keep in mind that the chief advantage of the Polaris' hangar bay is not to carry ships, but to refuel, refit, equip and repair them. If you have a ship you want to pair with the Polaris that does not have a jump drive then you could carry it, but ships like the Hoplite are already long...

And don't forget it can carry more troops than the Prowler or Tally troop transport, as well as a fair bit of cargo/weapons cashe, small vehicles, etc.

Not sure I like it bigger. Makes no sense to me that they needed it bigger for components, and then made it bigger inside. Could be the inside difference is not that much but this will be easier to hit, and harder to fit into things like the Carrack bay. Could be they didn't want a Warlock...

Okay so, now I'm impressed! View: https://youtu.be/1IEdf9lazmM I'm especially excited by the 24 S2 "Firebug" self-charging missiles. That seems would make this a serious threat to air assault. I still think you want the Terrapin to kill them. It has an S4 ballistic cannon and heavy armor...

Not seeing the point of playing three accounts, but I think if I did, I would put them in three different parts of the verse to save flying back and forth. You can hire NPCs as bodyguards with a single account, and I doubt anyone can play 3 PC's well all at once. What is the official rule on...

I'll bet they make a way for the Hull C to transport them.

Given it is such a small quantity, and only 50% markup to be made, I'm sure there are better routes to run. I have to wonder how long it will be before they have slaver routes for smugglers, both of which make perfect targets for privateers.

Also worth noting it is possibly the highest value for your dollar of any combat ship. You get more guns, armor, and especially torps and missiles per dollar with that ship than anything short of a Polaris and you get more guns per dollar than the Polaris. marcsand2 was saying he thought the...

Yeah, I think the web site is wrong, though. Originally and in the pics, the Polaris has both ventral and dorsal twin S3 launchers so should be able to fire 4 S3s at once. I think Richard's point was that it is not just how many missiles you carry, but how many you can fire at once that...

The Tally has 2 size 9 tubes. The Polaris has 4 size 3 and 4 size 10 tubes.

If you want action but not dog-fighting, let me make three suggestions. First and cheapest is bounty hunting with a Penguin or a Hawk. You can do that alone. Second is just run missions. There are all sorts. Pick a ship you love to fly and find the right missions. While people talk about...

There's no way to tell. Even if we had raw stats for hull, shields, refresh rates, and damage for each weapon, the tactical situation determines so much in a punching match that there is no saying. I do think though, if S10 torps have the greatest range of any weapon, and you are flying with a...

There's no way to know yet, but one thing about the Polaris as a topedo platform is the torps will supposedly have much greater range than the big spinal mounts, so in theory, especially with a spotter and while "hiding" in something like an asteroid field, a Polaris could work over an Idris...

If someone is looking for a special benefit to offer TEST brothers and sisters, let me suggest that contracts where you agree to supply on schedule, that don't screw with someone else's lead times, are a great way to go. Basically this is just saying "I will do thus. . ." and then you do it...

Yeah. Seems pretty obvious they're presenting all the Drake ships as the poor pirate's choice for their trade, and it is really groups that are dangerous. That's why I am wondering what is knocking people out of quantum-space. What does this require and what sort of group are folks facing, or...

I think that's right, unless we find something like pyros or distortion cannons that swat an area can knock down torpedoes. In general, Corvettes are designed to bully smaller ships and get their asses kicked against real "ships of the line" which are frigates and larger. The last thing you...

Very well done!

This sounds like all full of awesome sauce. I'm glad there is an easy way of escape, but I think if indeed you are flying in and out of outlaw space, this ought to happen regularly and with a growing threat. I can't guess why everyone is taking this casually. I don't know of any other game...
