    Max Crew

    Someone made a nice observation in a vid I saw the other day, that ideally you might want 3 crew in a Sentinel, if you want to run the top gun and do EM Warfare stuff both at once. While I am accustomed to thinking of it as a two person ship, there are instances where you might like three crew...

    Max Crew

    What is it? Does it relate to life support? If you're hauling peeps in EVA suits, can you ignore those limits?

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    is it carrying the Ink 204 with 5,800 points and you're saying there is a plan to put a new shield with 6 install points instead of 4?

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Is there anyone here who owns both a Hornet and a Connie or Tali, who can check and see if the larger ship's shields really fit in the Hornet? Honestly it seemed to me the whole size designation with pipes and all was designed specifically so people would not be able to do this, so I can't see...

    Hoplite

    I think they hired all four of them--"The Four Horsemen" as I recall. Does anyone know where the rumor came from that the Redeemer was going o be reworked? That does not make sense to me considering it beat out ships like the Scimitar, which they are still interested in. The Scimitar is a...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Some general observations on shields: The Reliant comes with crummy shields--just 800 points protection and low regeneration rate. This explains why they're so seemingly fragile, so plan to upgrade the shields on this boat. It may be something like the GODI Forcewall can go in which is 2,800...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Okay so I'm like a kid in a candy shop with this new components chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13LzkKzDOKIdrhwL5E2n2Co6THa74A2izxn8lykDuPAk/edit#gid=472250922 Has anyone looked this over and begun to look at the possibilities? For instance, looking a the Cooler Tab, several...

    Hoplite

    No, I'm the bone-head. I never saw the tabs. This is a great chart save that it needs to be color coded. As is it wants to make me blind. I like that he's giving average DPS over different time periods but using the earlier "burst" category might have been better in some ways. Some of the...

    POLARIS!?!?!

    "All right, from the frantic waving of my producer, I think we have to take a quick break. We are definitely going to hear more from lead RSI designer Jules Parliegh when we get back and unveil an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the 2947 Polaris shipyards. Don’t go away." At the bottom...

    Hanger Inventory

    I must respectfully disagree that buying weapons is a bad idea. I want my hangar full of weapons. My plan however it to let others buy them and then loan them off their previous owners while they're respawning. Apparently, The Outsiders on Leir are flying the UEE ships they bought for us, and...

    Ghost Loadout help...

    Since it appears the Tana will crumble when using harsh words, I am thinking more and more than an F7A with ghost gear and 8 Jokers will be the ultimate lie-in-wait bushwacker. Energy management is an issue, but so long as your target goes down fast and you don't need to shoot long, that may be...

    Ghost Loadout help...

    The Avenger and the Cutlass come stock with a pair of Joker Sucker Punch Distortion Cannons (different from the Neutron Cannons) that have very high damage for S1 weapons, but half of it is distortion damage and does not injure hulls. Instead it takes down shields and messes with the pipes in a...

    Hoplite

    Here's Noob's take on the Vanguard with the loadout set for alpha-strikes rather than primary/secondary. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QwdGb6KdBo and here is the weapons chart mentioned, that says the Behring M7A is doing 633 DPS. I can't seem to make it open so maybe someone else...

    Slow is smooth. . .

    Someone was asking a few weeks ago about combat tactics, and quoting the conventional wisdom that "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" as regards FPS in SC. I know it may seem that the whole game is ships, Ships, SHIPS!!! but there is a significant portion to be played out in FPS, especially if...

    Hoplite

    Interesting analysis: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkUjCh-tz0 I would just note two things. First off, the Redeemer and Retaliator have docking collars, so are useful for boarding, whereas any sort of boarding from a Hoplite is going to require some EVA. Not sure how practical...

    Ghost Loadout help...

    . . .or you could put all Jokers on it and not plan to kill your target but disable it. I'm still waiting to hear how energy management works with a full joker loadout. Has anyone ever shut down a target's 'puter with the distortion damage?

    I don't like the new Ursa Rover design

    My issue with the rovers is, it sounds to me they intend to introduce a third class of weapons between personal and ship for vehicles, and shields that are smaller than ships' shields as well, so no matter how beasty a rover, an Aurora LN or an Avenger could very easily put it down. If you're...

    We have 4 liquor stores in town here and they all carry Talisker. What part of NJ does not have good whiskey?
