By adding the Freelancer you lose the nice high top speed of the Cutlass. This is just what I recommend against. Ships with high top speeds are optimized around this, and to throw this benefit away for any reason should be done with great hesitancy. Part of what makes the Cutlass a great ship...

Nothing on the Polaris?

It still sounds that we will be able to hire NPCs as crew, including as pilots of escort craft. If that happens, people will pay top dollar for NPC pilots and put them in that "extra" fighter ship they had. Now if you planned to take special advantage of the Cutlass and want to consider it a...

The calculator won't open right now so I can't check, but I believe if you look at the very short S5 list, at top is the version we will eventually be able to mount, and near the bottom is the Vanduul version. Looks like we will be able to mount their weapons, but keep in mind they overheat...

When did they stop working?

Yes, but it is also the only long range fighter which complicates comparisons. Yeah. I would certainly want to fly it with the gimbal as energy and primary, and the fixed as secondary ballistic, but right now you can't. I honestly don't understand CIG's intention restricting the fixed guns...

That was all full of pretty friggin' AWESOME!

For flying Vanguards with the big gun fixed, I am still liking the WAR Neutron Cannon, since its pip lines with the nose lasers, is fast and has incredible range, which changes the capability of the fighter as a whole. For the turret, it seems to me a great upgrade from the Sawbucks are the...

Moi aussi, brother; moi aussi.

Here is some wonderful analysis of the whole heavy fighter role in general (and how it passed away) and how this applies to the Hurricane. I agree with all of this analysis except that I think the ship will sell in the price slot between the Hornet and the Sabre--probably about $170-190, and I...

Singing sea shanties is wonderful, but every good pirate knows his lips can be busier still. My model is Kirk: View: https://youtu.be/NXovahPpscs

So the count is the Cutlass Blue and Black will mount up to 10 Pyros, is that right? 8900 DPS across a field it is hard to miss at, once it is in range, of course? Can blow the shields off anything smaller than a Polaris in one second? and crush it in the second second?

The Lancers have a bigger problem. They have a terrible field of view. It is very easy for an opponent to hide outside your field of view and you should expect them to in a conflict. I would never want to be flying a Lancer in any sort of contest that includes proximity. Launching missiles...

Do you know what the truth is behind the rumors that the missile racks will be reconfigured so all sips can have fewer larger missiles or more smaller missiles? Right now, the Lancer Mis is in some ways out missile-boats the Conny, in that it has S3 missiles. It could lose some of its...

The ship I want most to kick around with friends in is the Polaris. Gotta have the pool table. The ship I want most to fly fun ops in is the Sentinel. Gotta have the extra missiles, EMP charges and other sacred EM warfare suite stuff to make others crazy. I think it is planned to be the...

If I am counting correctly, the new Cutlass Black and Blue can both carry 8 Suckerpunch Distortion Cannons and 16 S2 missiles?

Whenever I see someone who posts the equivalent of "you didn't do what I want; I had no say; and thus I am your victim" I recognize him as somewhat PSYCHO and steer as clear as possible. You gotta know there is no way to refute such a person nor get him to see things sensibly. They are merely...

Currently I am told the best source is this: http://starcitizen.team/ If you want to go all fixed, note the S5 "WAR Neutron Cannon". This is apparently a converted Vanduul Stinger Neutron Cannon. Expect it to overheat quickly, but it has weapon speed very close to the 4 nose lasers in the...

A worthy goal! The Vanduul are notorious that they would rather blow up a ship rather than see it in the hands of any human, but of course all this does is serve to sweeten the victory, and sour defeat for those dread sub-humans when we make their rides our own!

She is one of the last of what is truly "The Greatest Generation" for indeed, those people knew how to sacrifice and pull together for the sake of goodness itself. You sound like one of those who is uncritically accepting the views of modern media. It is a fact, that the left in the US is...
