I suggest borrow a Vanguard and see how you like it. It is the only fighter able to carry an S5 weapon, which means it can carry the longest range energy weapon--the dread BEHR M7A--which is the only normal gun with >6km range. If you like to shoot from distance, I would check out this...

If you would like to be able to haul cargo, the Tally looks like it may have enough hull that it can sneak about with shields down, running a smallish reactor and minimum thrusters. We should all make it a habit to boost to max speed and decouple. The Tally might drift through systems to...

I am interested to do that, and the Polaris is a LOT of ship for the price, but I have a thing where I want to actually fly what I pay for in the next couple years and they haven't even started the Polaris build.

Not sure if I'll be ready to jump in by November but if so, I am thinking of a Sentinel and a Hoplite. And probably a Ghost-Tracker SuperHornet. . .but if I can make a Ghost Tracker version of the Hurricane. . .why are ships so hard?

I would not be surprised if they made Spectrum deliberately incompatible with Discord somehow. The problem is what happens when you die. If when you die you can warn your friends what killed you, the game loses a lot of its immersion. I think this is one reason CIG is taking on the...

You hit what seems to me the real issue for attacking bases with cap ships--range. I would not be so afraid of the S12 Torps as the S7 spinal mounts on the Javelin. Without wasting ordinance, it should be able to rain destruction on bases so long as it can get in range. Spinal mount "cap ship...

Yeah. And FPS is not for everyone. Team ship to ship combat is not for everyone. There is really a balance to be had I think. The more cooperatively you play, the more powerful your presence in the 'verse, but also the more you need to collaborate with others and work as a team. Lone wolves...

In my youth I was a taxi driver and dispatcher, and actually grew up around two way radios that broadcast to all the cabs on one channel but they broadcast back on another they could not receive on. The reason was to cut the chatter. So all the cabs could hear dispatch but not each other...

Right! I kept thinking there would be some redeeming quality, like someone would hit him and make it all better.

I would fix the page for free, but if they had the answers they would post them up without the help. It is because they don't want us to trust we have those answers and later complain when they change them that they are resistant to fixing the page. They said 9 months ago they were going to...

If you're talking about your girlfriend when someone else needs to be telling your comrades about a target, you can get everyone killed. As much as we all want to have fun, everyone needs to "cut the chatter" in conflict situations.

I thought PETA would have put an end to strangling cats to create a soundtrack by now.

"Jeffrey Dahmer? I love that guy!"

A single player with a chaotic and inflexible schedule flying a huge ship with other ships sitting on, is pretty much the perfect mark for pirates. You should expect to have them all stolen, and replaced by insurance, and stolen again, and replaced and. . .well STOLEN again. . .and. . .

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jLYS7cSC98 Great thoughts for combat. Only a little on the hear all/speak to ______ only issue. Needs to be slightly more refined, but this is great stuff.

The original "Blade Runner"?

I lived in Portland for 12 years, and I miss McMenamins more than the rest of that lovely city combined.

I am as frustrated as you. I routinely groan in response to the fact the ships page is nearly always wrong. OTOH, were they making constant corrections, they would get grief from people who are treating it as if it were a game where they had purchased this or that when in fact it is not a game...

I think it's one of the sevens. Like drinking beer flavored wine. What could be better?

Actually that was True Lies, 1994. Much better than LAH.
