    Should we buy a Pioneer for $850 for the org?

    We can't have that. The proper spelling is "TALISKER".

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I know, and right now they won;t fit. One has to wonder at what sort of synthetic rationale will be invented that nearly all ships don't have grav plates in them for hauling cargo. If I could use a Prowler, I would think on becoming a light freight hauler.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Yeah. There must be a way to put something in there. Even if it is not secured. . .

    I suck at combat but want to do better.

    That was racing in a Mustang?

    I suck at combat but want to do better.

    Some of this depends upon your ship. I am not flying right now so bow to the authorities here like marcsand2, but I will note that in Mechwarrior , and in most of the SC combat vids I have seen, players tend to go straight at what they can see. In my experience, it is better to note not only...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    The note about Bounty Hunting going active with 3.0 is not very old. Maybe 6 weeks or so ago? Was noted the same time as prospecting I think. There had been mentions of both these much further back, but it was made note of again recently, so one hopes that is the plan still. I think the...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Yes, but bounty hunting is supposed to be released with 3.0, so one hopes they have worked out a host of these issues.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Exactly. If you want to form a useful generalization, the primary one would be they are both Vanguard Happy Meals. Great question we have been hoping to see answered soon. Can you put just a single stasis pod, even a mobile one, into a cargo space? Can you put unlocked cargo in people spaces...

    The Lancer also has the complication that it offers such a terrible view. The Cutty has a real fighter type cockpit.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Yeah, but look at the link. They are still making contradictory claims. It's not just swapping turrets from one ship to another, it is whether the mount exists. If you could not put two fixed where you had had a gimbal, they would not write "These are the only two types of items that can be...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    There is a mount adapter that exists for some weapons and not others. Right now it is a case by case basis, but theoretically any hardpoint can handle two of the next smaller size instead of a single weapon. No, actually they're ballistic. See here: http://starcitizen.team/ It's not just...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    So long as it's fast, yeah. The Redeemer should make a great BH ship if it has good range. The Prowler might make a decent BH ship, depending upon range and what pipes go to that upper room.The Avenger and Cutlass both look like they are going to be short range. That could cause serious...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    That is another reason discriminating hunters will choose the 600i. One hopes in Void Armor it will be able to approach many ships with S1 scan to within 5 km, and that would place them at the mercy of 6 S4 Ballistic Cannons doing more than 7,000 DPS. Most small ships would just disintegrate...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    If you or I were actually living on a ship, we might well want a lounge, but we don't need to be much concerned with the creature comforts of digital characters. Rather, the scan station means enhanced ability to see--which is EVERYTHING in space. I think people routinely misunderstand how...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I have been thinking on the whole Bounty Hunter role since the 600i came out. Especially the Explorer package. . .with an Ursa and a pair of X1 Force bikes, a team of 5 could have huge advantages on the surface or in space. We don't know what these ships will be like yet, but it looks to me...

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    It's a glass cannon. If you like to fly defensive it ought to rock. I wanna see it in Void Armor wearing all ballistic and low power reactor for tiny sig. 2XS4 Ballistic Cannons and 4X S3 Pyros, and it would be an unholy terror appearing from nowhere. Replace the turret with a Tracker module...

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    Just be aware that the pre-2.6 data on weapons had the Jokers create an intense power drain and overheat quickly, some ships won't be able to load 8 of them and those that can could be left with nothing but insults and nasty language to throw after about 3 seconds.

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    Could be. I don't recall. I know they heralded the Sabre as a superiority fighter, whereas the Hornet is a Multi-role fighter--kinda the same distinction between the F-15 (former) and F-18 (later). The F-8 is definitely a superiority fighter, and it would kick the Sabre's ass if it handles...

    A long delema I've had....Any Advice?

    I don't understand this portion of the page at all. There are no gimbals listed. Did they start calling gimbals turrets or weapons (dopey designation)? IIRC, the caterpillar had 4 gimbals, 2 turrets and no fixed mounts (which is good for a ship that size). Now it says it has 4 "weapons" and...
