I'm still lost. Isn't the point of doing this, that you get LTI on a starter ship and can then apply that to other ships? In other words, if I buy a $40 starter game package on each of 10 accounts, and gift the ships all to one account, then melt them all, I have $400 purchase ability on that...

I may need to go that route. I definitely want to investigate the land of touch monitors, and this above does not seem to go that way. I am planning to go mouse and keyboard, in a compact space, and if I can tap the screen to point a swivel gun on a Sentinel, Prowler, or Polaris, others will...

The form factor is not really a flexible part of the plan. There is no room for a desktop and I know a laptop is not useful. The plan is for a 27-34" flat or curved all-in-one with touchscreen. This is about 6X the internal space of a laptop. Is anyone familiar with the all-in-one form factor...

While peeps are discussing the nuances of SC investments, I have a question. Presuming I have no account and want a Prowler, is there a preferred method that I can use to get more than just the Prowler? If it is $400, am I better off starting 10 new accounts for $40@, then melting them and...

So you PC users that are running recent stuff are all loading Win10 and SC into your cheap SSDs? Forget hard discs? I am using a Mac for almost a decade now, and need to add a PC for SC. I am looking at all-in-one solutions that will fit on a swing arm next to my favorite comfy chair, and...

So no one here sees a reason to prefer the new i7 processors that support Optain over any other SSD solution?

Would speed up more than your SC boot up time?

It may work better for the Prowler. In an assault ship one hopes you are controlling the engagement, so have an opportunity for example to face your enemy and put the shield where you want it. For fighters this might also work if all you ever did was the jousting style CIG is working to get...

You may be able to direct them, but they are S1 shields, and the refresh rate will certainly reflect this. Expect them to be better than than most S1 shields, but not by a lot. Most serious fighters have S2 shields. The Reliant has S4 shields. You read the brochure and then tell us all why we...

These are wise men. Listen to everyone who loves the Vanguard, for we rule. If you want to sometimes explore, but most times kick ass, then buy a Vanguard and crew a Carrack. It costs nothing to crew and the Carrack will do a much better job at exploration than anything else. There are lots...

I guess Groot is Banu? I am not happy with any fighter that doesn't sport S4 guns, but if you are going to do without, having 6 S3s is not especially terrible. I think a Sabre or Hornet would eat this for lunch tough. Crappy shields, big target hull, low speed and maneuverability, no missiles...

It was all intended as humor. Sorry if it didn't come off that way. I never cuss except for humor's sake. Sometimes I forget people don't know me that well here.

Keep in mind the big torps are only good against large, comparatively sluggish opponents. For fighters you want S3's max. Still no word about shooting torps down. If for example you could mount 2-4 Pyrobursts on the Polaris' S6 chin mount, you might destroy torps before you take a hit, which...

Seriously?! WTF! The latest Star Wars trailer is out almost a week, and no one mentioned it? Seriously? Are you all MAD?! Have your brains been scrambled? Do you not understand responsibility to community, and caring for one another, and giving to each other, and coming together in time...

I think CIG's current word is instances will top out at 50 players and 16 ships, and they are hoping to extend this to 32 ships. It seems to me it would well behoove the commander of any large ship or operation to have significantly more players attached to a ship by setting to spawn in berths...

Maybe. My first choice of a ride right now is the Sentinel, but there has been precious little said exactly what the e-war suite will be capable of. We do know it will sport some sort of "EMP charges", which all by itself is very interesting. If you dig this kind of play, drop a post in the...

I have actually been running wargaming scenarios in my mind for many months on how to use a handful of Vanguard or Prowlers effectively for privateering. The methods vary greatly depending upon whether you use speed (the Vanguards) or stealth (the Prowler and Ghost Tracker). The trouble with...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUDwpY99Jg The "Titan Armor" powered body armor was news to me. The work on the Reclaimer, Aquila and Prospector continues and they still say they are overhauling the ships' stats page. Wonder how many months they can claim that?

Did someone report the 788 bug? It matters if they move the pip or speed up the cannon!

One of the things easy to over look with the Polaris is it probably mounts S3 sensors, so will see ships at great range, and the S3 missiles have terrific range--much greater than any fighter weapons. Small fighters can dodge gunfire, but the S3 missiles are supposed to be the hardest to evade...
