So what did you think? Seems to me the slow speed means it's not much good at medium ranges, but for large, slow targets like cap ships and for blanketing an area at close range, the Mantis might be a winner. With 5k range a SH could waste a Carrack by itself ,or a few SH's could kill an...

IIUC on the chart I posted the other day, the S3 sized GATS Ballistic Gatling "Mantis GT-220" has by far the highest DPS of any weapon. Trouble is it creates so much heat it is done shooting in 3.3 seconds. So it needs to be used like the GAU-8 Avenger cannon in the nose of the Warthog--just...

Great stuff. IIRC, the The Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy: Vega System describes a group called "The Descendents of Orion" who are paying cash money to those who will fly against the Vaduul. I think they're on Vega 3, and this means they're likley flying against targets in Virgil and Tyber...

Yes, I do. There are entirely too many shadows here and they need to be reaped. People keep sowing shadows with no notion of what sort of crop they'll get. So far as I'm concerned, enough shadow to hide me and my pilfered pirate booty is enough shadow. As for pouring in the drink, so long as...

I'm sorry for not reading the last 26 pages in this thread but as a pirate, I am known for my shifty, lazy, mannerless demeanor and don't intend to pretend to be nice as I drool out the corner of my mouth. Just some thoughts for people who don't mind repeating themselves: --Unless Test wants...

Has anyone flown the Mantis GT's yet?

I dunno what gives. I called the number and a woman answered claiming to work for the feds, and trying to collect back taxes from this phone service. Apparently they are searching for Montoya to ahem. . ."speak" with him. I hope they're harmless but the woman kept saying "we have handcuffs"...

I think the hype was that many hoped CIG would introduce an interdiction weapon, which had it been true would have added new elements to the game dynamics. That didn't happen so some small disappointment. Still it's all good. We didn't NEED another fighter and I would have preferred to see...

Has anyone tried flying Mantis GT's as secondaries on the gimbals of the SH with everything else as primary? I am just wondering what that much DPS looks like on targets big and small. The vid for that would be a kick.

Has anyone here flown a Hornet or a saber with all fixed? It is possible to put fixed oversized on a gimbal?

Found this, but it is pretty old. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nU2Ten4SWLfPrB92PsuJ2xNEevBDc5Rkqr7jsusGUAE/edit#gid=278523881

Has anyone found a good weapons chart? All I've seen so far is a pretty badly arranged data set that is not really useful in comparing them. The bunch of graphs here: View: http://imgur.com/a/XBXfz need to be turned into useful data sets, IMHO. Or is there something somewhere I haven't...

I'd love to see this topic revived now that there is more detail emerging about stealth, EM warfare, etc. IMHO it does not appear one needs to have a stealth ship to attack from stealth. Any time you power down most of your ship your signature will be small and the only thing to be concerned...

There's nothing "normal" here that I've seen. Where you from stranger? I live on a small hamster farm, with my brother billy-bob and many furry friends. What drew you to Star Citizen? The gravitational divergence of the slope maxed at a singularity and because it was rotating strongly in 4...

I'm out drinking. Please leave a message. I should be back next month.
