The Tally has 2 size 9 tubes. The Polaris has 4 size 3 and 4 size 10 tubes.

If you want action but not dog-fighting, let me make three suggestions. First and cheapest is bounty hunting with a Penguin or a Hawk. You can do that alone. Second is just run missions. There are all sorts. Pick a ship you love to fly and find the right missions. While people talk about...

There's no way to tell. Even if we had raw stats for hull, shields, refresh rates, and damage for each weapon, the tactical situation determines so much in a punching match that there is no saying. I do think though, if S10 torps have the greatest range of any weapon, and you are flying with a...

There's no way to know yet, but one thing about the Polaris as a topedo platform is the torps will supposedly have much greater range than the big spinal mounts, so in theory, especially with a spotter and while "hiding" in something like an asteroid field, a Polaris could work over an Idris...

If someone is looking for a special benefit to offer TEST brothers and sisters, let me suggest that contracts where you agree to supply on schedule, that don't screw with someone else's lead times, are a great way to go. Basically this is just saying "I will do thus. . ." and then you do it...

Yeah. Seems pretty obvious they're presenting all the Drake ships as the poor pirate's choice for their trade, and it is really groups that are dangerous. That's why I am wondering what is knocking people out of quantum-space. What does this require and what sort of group are folks facing, or...

I think that's right, unless we find something like pyros or distortion cannons that swat an area can knock down torpedoes. In general, Corvettes are designed to bully smaller ships and get their asses kicked against real "ships of the line" which are frigates and larger. The last thing you...

Very well done!

This sounds like all full of awesome sauce. I'm glad there is an easy way of escape, but I think if indeed you are flying in and out of outlaw space, this ought to happen regularly and with a growing threat. I can't guess why everyone is taking this casually. I don't know of any other game...

I don't think selling at higher prices for any reason is a viable business plan. Trying to get more for your goods because you know someone is backward to say the least. I'm surprised anyone would ask this. If anything you would want to give discounts to keep trade in house.

I think to get the most from a stealth component, you need more than one. Reducing your EM and IR is only useful if you can reduce your RCS too, and the Cutty likely has a big RCS. There are no stealth armor options available yet? No "Void Armor"? Also note if you reduce the size of your...

Since I am not yet a pilot in SWC, I can't make perfect sense of all that is here, but I will say that in SWC, micro-jumping as Rear_Intruder suggests was an extremely rare and powerful skill to develop. It was useful for all sorts of things. In SWC, exiting a jump could always lead to the...

is there a new timeline for features and ships? I thought we'd see the Carrack with 3.0.

"Now that the team had completed the heavy lifting to get the tech, content and systems for 3.0, they can focus on optimizations, feature consolidations, and polish for our first quarterly release" So is this a commitment to new patches every 3 months?

Wait. . .I thought his nipples tingle when someone draws a penis.

How can you have a "go-to" ship until you decide what you want to do? IMHO, it is most important right now to connect with other players and look for fulfilling groups to game with. You will eventually want to spend money (game or real) on NPC's, and until we know more about that, it is hard...

Someone 'splain to me what is the obsession with tanks? Seems to me even the humble Terrapin would make a great tank killer. Anything that flies slow, is armored and has a big gun is going to be capable of squishing tanks just like an A10. Whether we ever see a dual S4 mount for S5...

What's better than a tank? I used to specialize in brawling in the Black Knight. My build was more extreme than this. I went for speed too, but removed some of the armor to make it even faster and put more medium pulse lasers and more chillers on it. I also added a single jump jet to the...

It probably reminds of generic future tanks because of the twin guns, which there is really no cause for. Just looks fun. The Finish tank is not a main Battle Tank. It weighs half what an Abrams, Challenger or Armada does, so not a good comparison. The gun is 1/3 the size of modern Main...
