    Theorycrafting the Carrack

    From the dimensions given it appears she will fit an avenger.

    obviously these folks don't know that Talisker rules.

    Is non capital multicrew worth a dime in battle?

    Personally, I would not want to take a Lancer to a battle except for a very specific reason. If your comrades call for missile support, functioning like artillery; and you can stay back out of the battle and rain death on opponents or merely keep them/busy evading while the fighters move past...

    Argo concept sale and 2.5 live

    Okay so why would you take up valuable space on your Carrack, Idris, Polaris, Crucible, Reclaimer or even your Star G for one of these? What uses would you put it to if you had your druthers? IMHO, what we need is a long list of modules for this, that are deployable such that they do not...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Are you using the gimbal on the Vanguard and if so, what are you using to point it? Very few seem to be flying gimbaled weapons because you need an unusual setup and it is more complex, but seems how you really need to fly such a slowly rotating bird. Why are you staying inside 1500M?

    Thoughts on the Terrapin?

    I'm sorry but someone has misled you. Soviet fighters through the 70's and 80's had some E1 EMP protection since they were still using vacuum tubes, but they were not using the tubes because of the possibility of EMP. They used them because their IC technology had very poor quality control...

    And I thought I was done with ships....

    IMHO, we are all better off with as few ships as we feel allow us to play how we want to play, since to fly any ship really well will require extreme familiarity. Real pilots seldom are proficient with more than a single aircraft at a time, and that will be true of us as well. So for example...

    RSI Polaris

    Corvettes are historically best at running down smaller ships. The last thing you want is not use the speed they're famous for and get caught up in a slug-match with a larger vessel. All of the larger ships have "anti-ship" weapons intended to do massive damage to relatively stationary...

    Ship theft question

    So long as they make cutting tools and explosives available to open doors and such, I am hoping such things can be used on canopies. I know they are saying the intention was only ships with boarding collars can be boarded, but they have not addressed the situation where a smaller ship like a...

    Thoughts on the Terrapin?

    I think you're both inventing a gaming dynamic in your minds that CIG has not suggested. There is one ship and one ship only, where they have said it comes with EMP hardening, and they have not suggested this will be an option for other ships. I think any argument that comes from silence is a...

    Thoughts on the Terrapin?

    What I don't get is why they are talking about it as a starter ship that lost in competition to the Reliant, when it costs 3X what a Reliant does. I think it is an interesting ship, but the Freelancer appears at this point to be a better choice in every way except that it cannot take the...

    Thoughts on the Terrapin?

    Do keep in mind that these are probably the easiest ships to immobilize and board. Any ship sporting even one Joker can shut down the shields in just a few seconds, and the armor works against since it protects the ship as the Joker shuts down the computer. Lightly armored ships like the...

    Thoughts on the Terrapin?

    I believe the official word is that the Lancers are the largest ships that can fit through the smallest wormholes.

    Terrapin GamesCon Reveal

    I can't fault your assessment. I have been presuming that the slots necessary for things like radar and sensors would be interchangeable, and that is not necessarily so. From the vid it looks like they will not be. If they are, then probably the Sentinel can fill the same role as the...

    Terrapin GamesCon Reveal

    The Sentinel will probably be a much better version of the Terrapin. I don't know why people are proposing the Turtle is a mining ship. It is a long range radar and scanning/exploration ship. If you look at the link Sam posted above at time index 22m, you'll see this. Freeze the vid at time...

    Gamescom 2016 sale...what are you planning to buy?

    Thanks for posting the vid, Sam. I missed the last ten minutes yesterday, which included the entire pirate camp attack and that was just very cool. One of the things I came away from he vid with was a strong reaffirmation that in outdoor FPS encounters, there is no substitute for a ship with a...

    Theorycrafting the Carrack

    Just wait until we're all paying premium prices for gas. $4/gallon sucks. Park that baby in a busy thoroughfare and you'll be happy for her Still that's no reason to PAY for your ships. That's bad form.

    The Outsiders have purchased bunches and bunches of UEE ships for us. We just need to go pick them up. Save your money for NPC's to man them.

    What is the situation with the Hornets? If you have the cash can you put guns on top (big turret) of any version given the room isn't taken up by other stuff like the tracker gear? You can mount 7 fixed S1? I like the Hornet in general and it does seem the most flexible and easily modified...
