    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Touche'. Do we have confirmation that it really carries 32 S2's? I would also note that with missiles, the important issue is not only how many it carries, but how many launchers it has. Even if the MIS has 32 S2's, it only has 2 S2 launchers. Most conflicts will not last long enough for...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    No offense intended to anyone but this guy is very often wrong. He is interesting, but he allows wishful thinking to define every opinion. All the Lancers originally had an S1 turret in back and there is no reason to suppose they will change that. A quad mount is a little crazy sounding to...

    Lore: somewhat out of place

    Yes well, maybe the loremasters are planning to steal from Dune and have a subterranean ocean that is uncovered? Who knows? The simplest way to add water is open a wormhole inside Venus' atmosphere and route it to wherever you need it, like Mars. We could do that. . .

    Lore: somewhat out of place

    I think if your point is, someone could just redirect an asteroid for water, it may be helpful to look at the energy for such a thing. I suspect you'll find any useful amount of water requires too much energy to be plausible. Certainly running a fusion reactor for it's by-products is not an...

    Space Trucking and the Hull C

    Have you looked at the Mustang Alpha as a starter with the new cargo box? The bird has a bed, and if you drop the external container, you can fight and race with it. Personally I would go straight from the Mustang to a Taurus and then to the Hull C or the Banu Merchantman. There is not enough...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    What is easiest depends upon the size of your team, but if you have enough members, I think nuking them with a Raven and swallowing them with a Reclaimer is about as easy as you can get, and you get their ship intact.

    Whats your favorite ship change?

    Redeemer--love that they have added a pair of fixed weapons for the pilot, and now plan 4 turrets sporting pairs of Panthers. High energy load-out, long duration and sustainability in combat but easy to spot. Looks like they made a niche' and if you drop in a smaller reactor and load all...

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    I think you misunderstood. While you cannot take a small tank out and stick a large tank in its place, you can take other systems out and put tanks in their place. This would allow a single tank upgrade. I did not make up the example of the Tana's missiles. It was brought up by others when...

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    IIUC, all ships can scoop fuel given enough time, but only ships like the StarFarer and StarG can refine it for jump travel. So if you get stuck across system, you can get yourself out of trouble, but if you get stuck in an empty system, you have to wait for help to come.

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    I think the plan is to make how much fuel you can carry part of what each owner can to some degree, customize. For instance, I think if you remove the missiles from the Reliant Tana, you can fit the extra tanks of the Sen. You might decide to remove half the Tana's missiles and put in just one...

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    CIG has said in the past they will revisit the whole issue of which small ships cannot jump, but if you want to cruise the planets on the race circuit, constantly tweaking your ride for best performance, probably the thing is own a Crucible. That's what they're for. As one who grew up in an...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Yeah. Quite possible but we can hope they give us means to subdue and secure. Even if not though, I would note that most places you will find an NPC outlaw, the general populous will kill you on sight if they find you are a hunter. Bounty Hunting is not for the faint of heart. Most players...

    There are supposed to be three new moons available to explore now. Is that not so?

    Optane 900D

    True. One nice things about the raven though, is it probably comes with all the weapons and such you want. It's good right out of the box, so you won't have to insure all your special loadouts. It should be a cheap ship to maintain, which is what you want with a special purpose ride you don't...

    I suck at combat but want to do better.

    @ marcsand2 and Mich Angel, I am curious how long your boost will work in combat flying as you describe. have you seen differences between various craft, where some you can't fly long before you run out of the go juice, and others you can fly much longer? Looks for example that the Avenger...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    The issue with logging off concerns the presence of a bed. If you have a bed aboard, you can log off and log back on the next day, to find your ship wherever you left it, such as an ambush position. You can't do that without a bed. Also there has been some talk that we may be able to set our...
