Yeah, until CIG got word and wanted their cut. Of course if all he wanted to do was "trade" with his friends here at TEST, he might get away with that for quite some time. I would bet there are a couple dozen guys at TEST who would pay a cool grand for half dozen of their favorite models. He...

Actually there is one notable exception peeps ought to look into. It is possible ships like the Connie can mount a full electronic warfare package. Depending upon many things, just this might keep one safe at least for a little bit. If you can confuse an enemy just enough you do not have to...

If you were to find that on ships short of cap ships, the role of the fighter would be greatly diminished, and CIG has said they intend for the fighter to be the backbone of all ship to ship engagement. There is only one ship designed to fight fighters and win--the Corvette--and it remains to...

Wow, two pages and no one said they are looking forward to bounty hunting? Isn't that supposed to be a thing in 3.0?

The Connie is really the only general purpose ship so far, though the Merchantman will go that way some too. The guns are there to make you feel safe enough to make poor choices and become pirate munchies. Everyone's gotta live, right? Keep in mind that no one is flying these big ships alone...

Anyone flown the Hoplite yet? Does it come with all the same weapons installed as the Warden?

So still no buzz on what ships become flyable in 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2? I'm guessing the Hoplite but still wondering about the Sentinel and Harbinger. Don't they need all these for Squad 42?

The Connie is not a combat ship. It is not that she is not much of a combat ship. She is not a combat ship at all. Don't be fooled by the turrets--they are on practically every ship and you should not in general trust just because you have some that they will keep you safe. Nothing will keep...

I am thinking I need an PMUV just so I have something to name "Thunder Chicken".

Obviously they envy us the quality of our crunchy, salty pretzels. It is very easy to underestimate the power of a fresh as opposed to stale pretzel. Besides, we all know it can't be the beer.

It's only happening now because there are no consequences. When the PU opens they would not be able to do this in lawful space and survive, and bounty-hunters will be looking for those who do this in lawless space, so griefing will come at a cost. When the PU opens we will all be able to earn...

This fun to joke about, but sadly I have seen this sort of thing several times, and it can really ruin the playtime of a lot of people. The horror stories from Eve seem to be the worst, but we had them at SWC as well.

Have you tried the Superhornet, Cutlass, Vanguard and Terappin all in the tank role? Seems like a lot of choices there. I am not guessing they will build a better one seat tank than the Hornets.

The Vanguard are the only long range fighters in game currently. Since Squad 42 is based on them it would be wise to consider the need for long range. I am annoyed CIG cannot publish stats on range and make them useful, yet wants us to buy the ships anyway. $400 for a Prowler I ain't payin'...

So are you flying the chin gun on the swivel? The thing to do to get an objective sense of how fast it turns, is to find a pair of markers and place the ship so that you will know when you have turned precisely a certain number of degrees. So for example, if you can place the ship where one...

That is interesting, but all 4 of the Vanguard variants should be able to be equipped with 2 S4 BEHR ballistic cannons and 6 Behring MVSA laser cannons, for a single pip total of 4195 DPS. Vanguard drivers laugh at the wee little Buckies and likes them for breakfast cereal.

I don't yet have a fleet because I don't have a gaming machine nor time to play, but I intend to by fall so I will share what I am interested in. For a dogfighter, I am waiting to choose between the Ghost Tracker Hornet with a pair of the big BEHR C-788 Ballistic Cannons , or perhaps a...

I don't know what you mean by "Combine". I still don't have a gaming machine so I don't have an account yet and can only access small portions of the official CIG pages. The weapons calculator does seem to be official CIG, and several have said these are the best numbers, but it seems at...

Have you flown your Vanguard with the big gun on swivel that way? I have still not heard the stories of what the big BEHR ballistic cannon is like on the nose, but it seems the perfect fit. Fast to target, great range and very powerful. No lasers means it will be stealthy until you fire it...

No, no. I still don't expect to have the time to put a rig in until late Fall. I am still working 70 hour weeks, and that needs to go back to 40-50 before I get any playtime again. I do think about what to build though. I think a curved 36" touchscreen and perhaps a couple tablet sized...
