    What does LTI mean to you?

    Recall though, CIG has said the AI for the turrets will not be as good as the NPCs, and PCs will be better than NPC. Thing is, if you're flying cargo, who wants to sit in a turret and hope they get attacked? Exactly no one, and if you're paying a player for protection, they're better off in a...

    Yes, just remember that you need to make three cargo trips to pull the same profit in a MIS as you do in an Andromeda. That's the main reason I'm not all for the Lancer. If you can go all the way to Vanduul Swarm 18 in an Andromeda, seems you can mange. View...

    Click HERE for HOT Hammerhead on Hammerhead ACTION!!!!!

    If you can get enough people for that kind of vid, I would focus on making a great vid more than much else since they'll change the HH again and again. It would be cool to see more than one act in concert. If you really want to make players crazy, make a vid that makes it appear TEST HHs...

    The Drake ships are missing because they were all killed by REAL combat ships. Aegis ships eat Drake ships for breakfast and pick their teeth with their bones.

    Well you won't see a Polaris for another year or so. If you decide to change your fleet now, I suggest focus on what you can fly now and wait on the others. The problems with flying the Connie alone as compared to a Lancer are IMHO, that a) it is a bigger target--you're not going to evade much...

    What does LTI mean to you?

    I think when people see how important NPCs are and their cost, the desire for LTI will shrink to miniscule. I think when you look at what it will cost to man turrets, etc., ship insurance is not going to figure significantly. Yeah, it's great that anyone can buy a starter package and play...

    Been awhile...ship help :/

    I will be heretical and recommend just one ship for the three stated purposes you note: income, explore, pirate and with a nod to your interest in a missileboat. In the short term, I would snag an Andromeda. Especially if you want a true misslileboat, this is best in game I think? When they...

    Little Terrapin

    There's no sound in space. No one can hear you scream. Bwahaha!

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    Also bear in mind that it can only fit through large jump points, so that little hangar really does need to support some sort of small craft to go where it can't. It may find a jump point, but they're not much good unless oyu know where they lead, so you need something that can go through...

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    IIUC, the definition of "science vessel" is that it scans to find jump points. Pretty sure "science" and "exploration" are intended to be the same thing, unless you're talking about an astronomical observatory like on Endeavor. It appears the poor man's way to go exploring in a serious task...

    You forgot the Reliant Sen. But really the biggest difference between the sizes is the scan radius. Cap is best. It'll be interesting to see if you can fly a dozen Sen's off the Carrack. That would make an amazing scan task force.

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    If you want to fly solo cargo and already have an Aquila, seems you're set. What sort of weapons do you have on it? Have you taken it out to see if you can manage missions against NPC pirates with it?

    Is the Idris still the largest ship that can land?

    Countdown to $200 million

    I think it already is. Lots of people buy ships on concept and sell them at huge markups once they're no longer available.

    Countdown to $200 million

    I won't celebrate until it tops the charts as most expensive game development. GTAV is still number one at $265M. We need to get out there and help sell Auroras!

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    I think it's worth keeping in mind that if "winning" involved being effective in whatever kind os scenario you might involve yourself, there are certainly arguments to make that only time in the verse will make you a winner. Someone who plays every day, whether he is grinding or flying his...

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    Gotta wonder what the refresh rate is for the Large and Cap sized shields now.

    I want work as a drunken navigator. I can hear it now: "Hey Ty! What are we doing in Leir? I said "steer us home".
