So it is like flying a light fighter, but with heavy weapons? Sounds fun but I would want strong reasons to let go of the stealth, tracking and range of a Ghost Tracker., and the pair of S4s on the Hornet ought to hit harder than the Buc. The BEHR ballistic cannons are beasts on paper, fast to...

Has anyone flown the Ghost Hornet with the Tracker turret, extended range tanks and a pair of BEHR ballistic cannons fixed?

How does it compare to the SH? About the same firepower, less shield and hull but more maneuverable? Why would you choose it over the Hornets given the Hornets can be outfitted with stealth and Tracker?

His jaw is too big. he looks like a giraffe. That's just deplorable.

That would be wonderful, but the only ships we know can swap guns for scanners are the Tracker Hornet and Aquila. I surely hope the Hurricane can do likewise, but we don't know this yet, and we have even less detail on the Redeemer. Even the Sentinel does not swap the turret for the EM Warfare...

I asked because I am looking to hire someone who can do this kind of work, but we are still hoping for one person who can do both this, including model building, and animation for industrial vids like the one I posted above. If you want to draw and model real spacecraft, send me a private note...

Can you do animation work as well? Stuff like this? View: https://youtu.be/BTEhohh6eYk

Rice, how did you get the 3D bits into the printer? What process did you use to map and what did you map, or was there already a map or did you draw them yourself?

I would be thrilled if the Redeemer has slots for good scan, but don't bet on it. Even less I strongly doubt it will have the extended range of Lancer DUR or even the Hoplite. CIG is totally committed to avoiding ships that can be used as good general purpose, because most players would buy...

The Freelancer is the largest ship that can pass through a small size jump-point. It can be set up with extended range scan and long range fuel tanks, which could easily be much more important in exploration than martial survivability, especially if the Lancer captain is willing to run away.

Just updating this thought experiment since it is long since we have better stats on weapons. --Lets presume the same 3 Vanguard attacking--2 Hoplites and 1 Sentinel. --Lets presume the same StarG has upgraded shield and the attacker still needs to drop 6,000 points shielding for their spike...

This is why ultimately I think the best privateering experience is going to be amongst a group of players who are committed to the group. It is hard enough for players to set schedules and keep them. That can be worse if you have many overlapping and competing loyalties. I think gaming should...

Great ideas here, and some decent storytelling. One thing I am not very clear on, Bruttle; is does this sign up you linked above draw distinctions about various skill sets? Usually a raid is okay just by virtue of sufficient numbers, but in SC ops, where the number of ships and players is...

I had wondered many months ago about creating a tracking system, whereby members of a privateering group could earn credits by serving as crew members for others, and apply those credits when they want to lead on a ship and need crew. I think there may be a workable system there, that would...

It would not take much to turn this into a wicked-awesome Prowler...

I used to design, build, fly and mostly crash RC aircraft, and I can tell you it is easier and cheaper than you would imagine. Especially the crashing part. The airframe is the expensive part, but you can make something flyable with few bits and add the style after you know it will fly. And...

Pretty amazing. Some of those look like the would fly if you put a couple EDFs in them. The Sabre airframe might fly.
