I agree. I still think we need a lot more answers and that voting is clearly out. Montoya and whomever he holds as counsel needs to decide and we need to all get behind this. I say this as one with zero influence on our leader. We should not be discussing location. We should be discussing what...

Do we know it’s an option? They said base building in ‘25. Who knows how many systems will be open by then? I think we’re jumping the gun and really, it’s Montoya’s call. Not really a vote, folks. Just saying, we have nothing like appropriate intel for that discussion. We need to know what...

The Sq42 demo totally rocked. Did anyone catch the awesome power of those Vanduul Stingers? Those are gnarly ships. They call them heavy fighters but they’re closer to bombers.

I’m concerned where we’re going to get that much hot sauce.

Are we going to be building stations when there are only 5 systems? I’m obviously missing intel.

Its the name of the future mission sequence of players targeting Vanduul in and around the Orion cluster of worlds. Orion is the most famous of worlds conquered and despoiled by the Vanduul, and the NPC mission handlers are freedom fighters handing out in game missions in that area. So CIG...

They grow 300m long.

I would not even suggest a location until we know much, much more. I only mentioned Vanduul space and Orion, because that is one logical location to annex a volume of space, and even then it will require cooperation with the UEE military. I will note the space around Leir has multiple benefits...

On the stations themselves—what do we get in return for such massive investment? If an org can cajole its members to cooperate (no small feat) and build this thing, what are the benefits? We can only guess, and glean insights from what CIG has committed to in the past. So let’s theorycraft a...

I hope we can all get behind this. As the largest org in game we ought to be looking to leverage our size. Hopefully those who love salvage, mining and transport can commit certain times to gather for org, and those who love combat can commit to fly cover for those activities in a way that...

I have a feeling that the Carrack, Railen, and Galaxy are all going to be more compelling. The grav-lev tech inside the Railen makes more sense unless you and your crew want to play pool—which could catch on. The Galaxy moves almost three times as much and the Carrack has super-sensors, a...

Feels Fireflyishlypingles. Competing with the Railen?

They’re indigenous to Leir III, but spread to other systems as Space Herpes. View: https://youtu.be/-me2inj1nNw?si=1J0RmNKturb6Hgok

So, I take it you need to use a ship or burley vehicle to make calamari out of this thing?

I know it may seem like 3 years, but Musk has been at this for about 20 years now. He almost lost the company and all his wealth in 2008, but finally had a successful test flight. Had that launch failed, there would be no SpaceX. It succeeded and NASA awarded him a billion dollar contract. All...

Erm, we’ll let me just point out that no one signed up for pilot controlled guns that aren’t pilot controlled. Hey look, it was a trailer, not a promise. They’ve broken their word often enough that we can focus on that if we need to complain. Where are the spike missiles, and the electronic...

There’s a crazy fight going on with FAA giving SpaceX shit for no reason. Their director lied to Congress about this and now he’s in trouble. Despite this, Starship 6 is due to launch soon, and will be the last of the v1.0 Starship series. V 2.0 starts with Starship 7, and will include the new...

Very cool. I agree there’s too much green in the yellow but it still rocks. Where do you find matching armor? I especially like they left the entire ventral black. You can imagine it moving at night, low over the ground in CAS with the ventral turret threatening, and all ground pounders see is...
