    New Star Citizen concept ship: The Paladin $260

    Another contender to consider in this range is the StarLancer TAC. It didn’t inspire much discussion but it has some serious advantages, especially for exploring. Has another turret. Has two tier 3 med beds. Has a dedicated Fury bay. Has life support for 7 or 8, I forget. Long story short it may...

    New Star Citizen concept ship: The Paladin $260

    Yes but the Perseus has a small hanger that can fit perhaps 4 Fury. So once again, the key to expanding the utility of one of these size ships is beds. If we can hot cotton the Perseus bunks so we get an additional 4 or so beds, ships like the Perseus won’t have the prime vulnerability you’re...

    New Star Citizen concept ship: The Paladin $260

    So you could leave the side turrets with the pilot, the big turret with a dedicated gunner, and have dedicated missiles and engineer. 6 missile launchers, each with 4S2, say you load Rattlers is 4 salvoes of 24k damage. . .that is quite a lot. I like it but I think this would have been the...

    Carrack Cargo Pods and Blast Shield

    This reminds of the surprise reveal of the holoviewer replace on the Polaris. Could CIG be moving back to “under promise and overdeliver”?

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    Sounds like you will want to wield a Vanduul Plasma Lance.

    Mirai Guardian theory crafting

    I’m not familiar with any new details of the Pathfinder role. I just think in general, Pathfinders like the 315P and Terrapin are low gunned so they’ll have a low signature. This seems to be that, but upscale from the others. Missiles enable low signature because launchers don’t require...

    POLARIS first look!

    One of the things that disturbs me about the vid is they said the “ late game” or “end game” is cap ship combat. I don’t think they’re thinking straight about this. There is nothing late or end related about cap ship combat. What they mean to say is they don’t want pretty cap ships destroyed by...

    Mirai Guardian theory crafting

    From what I have scraped together it has: —2S5 stocks twin M7A laser cannons. Unlimited ammo, superb range, 3k dps. Excellent sniper w/ no reason to upgrade. Much lower power draw than 4S3 weapons, could be what enabled the 2S1 reactor build on this size bird. Attrition 5s offer a 25%...

    POLARIS first look!

    After seven years of the Tally and Eclipse using torps as first strike weapons, and millions of dollars in sales of them and the Polaris, it is really lame to introduce a foil and make it overwhelming. It makes me feel once more that CIG has been less than forthright with us. I’m all for ship...

    The Paladin

    Looks like twin S5 port and starboard and twin S7 dorsal?

    Will Exploration ships matter in 1.0 and beyond?

    What is the new intel about exploration? I must have missed it.

    The Paladin

    Rumors are 124m long, which is too big for a gunship. That would be a Corvette. Also rumored is 4S4 shields. S4 is cap class. Like reactors, cap shields are proprietary to a platform, so why would there be 4 of them? Also, CIG would be crazy to offer a competitor to the Polaris, right when...

    Polaris by Dec 10, just in time for Christmas presents.

    The Spikey Look

    None of SC’s manufacturers have it; and now we know we need it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15QEy3Bfyy/?mibextid=UalRPS

    Anvil Terrapin Medical

    The Terrapin is also quite small. Two of them will fit in the Polaris bay. For bunker/cave running I prefer the original Turtle. The med bed is nice but if you’re doing extended server hopping, you know you need the bed, head and galley. Taking these out of the med version limits it quite a...

    POLARIS first look!

    View: https://youtu.be/AdtdVoi_53Q?si=hO_VYP6UJI8f1_7c Decent review, mostly concerned with lighting. Notes very quickly my objection about lack of bunks and the solution to this —add shared space bunks like on the Idris. Mentions the chin turret S6 guns are bespoke and more powerful than...

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    No, you cannot free yourself by logging out. What CIG said about this years ago was that bounty hunters will need to be limited by how long they can keep their prey in a box, but that it will be longer than most prison sentences. So criminal behavior will be much more seriously mitigated by fear...
