Privateer--Hoplite Unless you want to take the lead with the Sentinel, or be the missile master with the Harbinger, most will probably find the ship that does the boarding is the place of action, fame and fortune. Later when stealthy ships are available, the Prowler and Eclipse will replace...

Buy a Hoplite, Sentinel, Warden or Harbinger and come privateering with us. Then you can own whatever we decide needs liberating. Seriously, for game start, joining a group of Vanguard raiders is the best way to own whatever you like without paying for it. Pay for NPCs and upgrades, not...

I intend to own both and pay for neither. That is why my starter home will be a Prowler. Before the Prowler comes out I'll fly a Sentinel and a Hoplite (loaner for the Prowler) on wing. That and some friends is all you need to own a StarG, a Connie, a Tally, a Crucible, a BMM, a Carrack, a...

Has anyone checked to see if the Ursa fits in the Lancer?

I have never heard of being able to use a Hull series as a pocket carrier. I think there are a couple different dynamics to consider. In aviation (which is our closest comparison) some craft need to be refueled on a carrier and some can be refueled in flight. In flight refueling requires a...

Yes, they have said less maneuverable in atmo without wings, and more maneuverable with wings. They have also said there can be some special maneuverability based upon the propulsion system so the Prowler is supposed to have remarkable hovering over land that one supposes most ships will not...

Yes, but you understand if the only people flying gimbals are keyboard users, everyone who chooses to do something else chooses the consequences of that decision. We all know gimbals will point faster than ships, and some ships like the Vanguard rotate too slowly to dogfight, so if you choose...

I like the Radar/Stealth version (RN) but I don't immediately see the difference between it and the Ursa. It is slightly shorter, slightly narrower, holds the same 2 people and weighs 1/6 as much. Not sure that is a selling point unless it will fit in things like the Hoplite where the Ursa...

Yeah. . .I am hoping to trade the UEE a Vanduul Void Bomber for a wing of F8s. 6 should be enough. Well maybe not. . .

. . .is? How would I know? But just to nudge us into a friendly ruckus, I will own I think it may be the Hurricane. Sure you need to fly defensive, but it will be more nimble than the Hornet. Basically it is a light fighter with the weapons loadout past a heavy fighter. So just saying, the...

Have you flown the Ghost Tracker combo? And what weapons do you prefer?

So you use the keyboard for everything except pointing the gun, which is done with the mouse? And have you flown the Vanguard with the chin gun on swivel this way?

So who is flying a fighter with main weapons on gimbal and how are they doing it?

I thought the Bucky was supposed to have an S4 mount below, that could carry some fabled piratical "interdiction" weapon for pulling ships from jumpspace. What happened with that?

No one is using a gaming controller? Seems to me this adds enough buttons that you can fly the gimbal, and IIUC, is what USAF uses for their drones. Can't be all bad. If you put strafe up, down, left and right on the four buttons under your index fingers, left stick to fly and right stick to...

If you don't love flying evasive and just want to bring heavy DPS, you should try the various Vanguards. They are the only fighter that can carry an S5 weapon (like that way big friggin' laser with higher range than any other gun). Personally I would prefer a pair of S4 ballistic cannon for...

If that's what you like, the Hornet is going to be very hard to beat. You might like the Vanguard as well, and it offers extended range, which though something you won't see the benefit from right away, will matter a great deal in the PU. Same with the Banu Defender. I think it has 2 more...

I am still hooked on the idea of a pair of S4 mounts. Since finding the Hornet does not offer this, I am looking with renewed favor on the Hurricane. The stock turret is kinda fun (place for 4 Jokers?), and if it can mount a Tracker, and the skin can be covered in Void Armor, those two S4...

Yes, but we revere smugglers here. Smuggling in your own high-octane booze is indicated.
