I think if you compare the Aquilla to the Max, you will find there is almost no comparison. Yeah, the Aquilla will be easier to hit in a fight, but it rules over the Max in every other category, save that it cannot fit through the smallest wormholes. If you have a serious interest in...

Can someone point me to where there are statements about what ordinance an Eclipse can carry? How many of what size torps and missiles? BTW, the componests spreadsheet has been updated. Apart from the 100+ changes in the missile page, they removed the entire column for distortion damage...

That is the profile of an information merchant--someone who stalks the hangouts, identifying movement patterns and partnerships, who is actually "growing" in a significant sense as he adds to his network of information conduits. You fit the profile of a covert agent, and there is a LOT more...

The StarG is a great option, in that it can refuel escorts, so you can pick anything that can refuel in space. We don't know how many fighters that includes, but it will include the Tana at the least, and half dozen Tana loaded for bear even in the hands of NPCs would form quite a deterrent...

I don't think we know enough about the big ships to make good decisions about them yet, but my guess is the Idris will require about twice as many players as the Polaris. So to me the question comes, which are you better off with, a single Idris M or a pair of Polaris? I think the pair of...

No ship without escort is safe. The guns and turrets on Lancers only make you feel safe, but Lancers are flying targets, and IMHO you should never fly one without escort outside UEE space, or even in UEE space where there are pirates. If what you want is a mix between exploration and freight...

The Warden has a bed. You cannot re-spawn in-situ without one. The Harbinger has room for more and larger missiles than any of the others. The Hoplite carries boarding troops none of the others can carry. The Sentinel carries EM warfare gear that is unavailable to almost all other craft. If...

Swapping the Avengers for more Vanguards would be attractive to me. I am hoping to own an entire wing of Vangaurd, including all 4 variants. I think you can fly sweet missions, even if you have to pay NPC pilots. Trouble is, when you spend that kind of money you can just buy a Polaris, and...

Keep in mind there will be at least three different kinds of sensors, maybe more, and at least three different sizes with very different ranges. It will probably take more than a dozen Reliants to replace a single Carrack, and most craft can't mount the sensors necessary to exploration at all.

Fighters generally carry S1 and S2. Some rare fighters like the Harbinger, and Sentinel carry S3. The Gladiator carries S5, so we can guess it will be able to carry S3 instead. The Tally says S3, but if you recall the walk throughs, looks like they are S10. The Polaris is a much bigger ship...

The Reclaimer should be finished by Fall. The Carrack will be another year. Seems an easy choice to me. Fly the Reclaimer now and wait to see if you want the Carrack instead of or in addition to, a year from now. It really depends much more who you are gaming with than what ship you all...

I think so. Might carry a little more ordinance than the Gladiator. Think of the B2 Spirit: much smaller than the B52, but large enough for the largest sort of bomb you have, which is much larger than what will fit on a fighter/bomber like the F-18. I would not be surprised if this fits a...

The Harbinger will be flyable in a season. This won't be flyable for a couple years. Makes it an easy choice. Also keep in mind this is a carrier-based attack ship. The Vanguard will all have much greater range and probably speed too. Better to fly the Warden, Harbinger, Hoplite and...

So join us when we loan them off The Outsiders on Leir. I keep telling people, the last thing to spend money on in the 'Verse is the ships. Save your money for NPCs, insurance and such. You can't "liberate" NPCs.

So if this carries a rack of S3 missiles, it is the perfect companion to the Prowler for snatch and grabs. Send a bunch of Arrestor III's and dog pile on the rabbit. Hope it can mount extended-range tanks.

No stats published about weapons, payload, components, etc? BTW yeah, it does look like they fold and this is therefore a carrier bomber. Stealth version of the Harbinger.

I think there is a fair chance they will rebrand the Redeemer to another manufacturer before they rebuild it. I'd make it MISC. Right now it has a place in the market since technically it has more firepower than the ships with airframes, and should be both faster and harder to breech than the...

Anyone else think this looks like an oversized Avenger? You know if they have several variants where you can swap out the bomber bay for other things, this could become one of the very coolest ships in game.

Has anyone read anything about the Eclipse being a carrier based bomber? This looks too big for carrier based to me. I am wondering if it is a long range bomber.

Agreed, I think they will get a least $400 for this in the future. They could probably get $500 for this and the Carrack and not injure future sales at all.
