There is a means to remove points from your outlaw status. I saw someone running the missions the other day. You basically have to break into a comm station and hack the grid there, and if you can hold that room while security attacks you during the hack, you get a point removed. So you can...

Corvettes are military ships, smaller than "ships of the line" like Frigates and typically very fast. Banu and 890 Jump are not military. One is a merchantman freighter and the other is a luxury yacht. The Carrack is a dedicated explorer and the Polaris is likely almost twice its mass, so I...

Disappointing we still haven't see the Polaris. This is what it was last compared to, the Vandal Void: LENGTH 124m BEAM 90m HEIGHT 33m MAX CREW UNKNOWN POWER PLANT 4 (equivalent) ENGINE (PRIMARY THRUSTER) 3x TR5 (equivalent) MANEUVERING THRUSTERS 10x TR3 (equivalent) SHIELD 5 (equivalent)...

You make a good point but I don't think it will be an easy thing to do. I think the FPS combat people think they need to plan for is a minor portion of the task since most times you are looking to attack ships that do not have active players aboard and if they do, just one or two. Most times...

My favorite, and you can stand if you're manning a standing console on a Carrack, etc: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-OE1ZPi8vU

You sound very organized! I guess a lot of you came over from Eve together? Are you using VOIP as well? In a hairy fur-ball I would generally prefer to talk to teammates rather than type notes. I think though this misses the harder part of the issue. It is the long spans of time with...

I think that would be cool, but I also think you would have a terrible time convincing a mess of players to stand around in a Carrack waiting to be attacked. If there are things to do in the Dragonflies, then by all means use the Carrack as a base and explore those ancient ruins by day, sleep...

For those of us willing to wear a parrot, it's important to note what you can and cannot "appropriate". A Corvette you can take from your enemies. The NPC's to man it you will likely not be able to conscript. You will need to pay for those. If I'm not paying for all the ships I want, I can...

Isn't there supposed to be a recent ADM chip that is 50% faster than everything else and low heat? Is supposed to be packaged in the HP Envy I think.

Yes, but why should they design an entire scout for the Carrack? Wouldn't most owners prefer to select the ship they want as a tender from amongst a handful that will fit? The thing to remember is that in any conflict, the key limiting factor to force that can be applied is the number of...

Why would you want to purchase a Corvette when The Corporation is willing to purchase them for us?

Episode 1, starts 1 minute in: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXUMd4T5mw I liked it.

I would like to see it slightly bigger, but not much. The center section could be wider, but not the rest of the ship; so a 64M beam could fit say a 20M wide, 35M long hangar bay at least 10M high. That will not fit even medium sized ships and not more than a couple fighters, but it makes an...

Has anyone else considered the landing bay on the Carrack seems too small for a fun variety of ships? Even though it has a bay rather than an attachment point like the Connie, this may make no difference. I would love it if the designers were to make it able to fit 16M beam ships like the...

DARPA puts out solicitations like this often. So do several other DoD agencies. The trouble is, most of the solicitations are too small to be worth chasing, and they always seem to grant "government use" rights which means if you land the project the best you can do is cost plus 8%. Hence why...

X Count me in. Anyone here from the old AOL FreeForm Gaming Forum, Red Dragon Inn, Stars End Bar?

This seems to me to dovetail nicely with the thread about kicking Vanduul butt in Virgil space. Partner a Reclaimer crew with a Warlock or Reliant with an EMP generator and one hopes you could pull down big pesos disassembling Vanduul craft of all sorts, even including the smaller cap ships...

Yes, Han is the choice of champions, BECAUSE he shot first.

Yes, I agree it overheats quickly. Just 3.3s and then it's cooling down for almost 40 seconds. That is however, enough to dump about 25,000 points damage per minute on a target at long range, if all you hit is that target--something like a large cap ship. If you are circling at 5k range for...

If you have a Redeemer and I steal it and give it back to you, and your insurance replaces it; you now have two ships. For stealing ships to be plausible in an environment where insurance replaces them, there needs to be some serious limitation or nerf on that process. Each time a player...
