  1. Shadow Reaper

    What should come next?

    Yes. Although it shares much in common with the other three, it has a different frame so cannot swap out the modular interior the way the Warden, Harbinger and Sentinel can. Personally I hope they change this and give all 4 ships the larger entryway of the Hoplite. It kinda ruins the set and...
  2. Shadow Reaper

    What should come next?

    I have still heard no ruling whether the seats in the Hoplite can be replaced with cargo and holding cells. If you can put three cells along one side, I would certainly choose the Hoplite over the Blue, since it is significantly faster, can take a much harder hit, and arguably has better...

    What should come next?

    The Avenger does have the benefit that is it much faster and easy to handle with no NPCs nor AI. The Cutty needs someone in the turret.

    Hurricane Irma Thread - Florida, Georgia, Alabama - Be Safe TESTies

    Yeah, turned cat 5 this morning--sustained winds of 175 mph. Many meteorologists have suggested we may need a category 6 for this one. The worst case scenario is what I saw late yesterday pop out of one of the models. . .it strikes Miami head-on and moves directly North, lashing the entire...

    My nerf gun project is complete!

    Hey, those LadySmiths are pretty potent stuff. .38 with +P+ ammo is quite a jolt in such a tiny airweight package. If she wants pink I say more power to her, just so long as she never points it at me.

    S&W has been selling Pink LadySmith's for decades. Apparently the coloring does put some people at ease.

    600i Q&A

    I don't think of it as a stretch at all. It is twice the size, twice the mass, and twice the price of the Connie, yet carries less cargo and has smaller turrets. Seems obvious to ask what you get instead of what comes with a Connie. I dunno what makes you think 5-10 years but that's not even...

    600i Q&A

    It's the perfect Bounty Hunting ship for a smallish crew of about 5. Looks like there will be room aboard for all manner of tricks and this is the boat to get tricked out with some real surprises. Mines? Decoys? EM warfare suite? Several S2 sensors? Holding cells. Nice accommodations for...

    600i Q&A

    Looks like they will put 4 TR5 main engines. If it can maneuver like a fighter, I will be interested. . .doesn't mean I will pay for one.

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    Chris has addressed that specific situation several times now and said it will not be possible. Somehow they will track the ship and you will not get the insurance payout. They have to do this or quickly CIG would no longer be able to sell ships, which is their bread and butter. Pirates have...

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    That is indeed the real question! There has been some language Chris has used over the years that seemed to imply, that one cannot escape the law by removing the witnesses, and that all piracy will evoke criminal status. he has even said people won't be able to escape this by using alts, or...

    Do we start theorycrafting about the idris now?

    I think Montoya was speaking of the turrets, not the spinal mounts. IIRC, the Idris is supposed to have 6 S6 manned turrets, which should mount a pair of the S5 lasers. That gives them lots more range than anything a fighter can carry apart from missiles. In such a scenario, the fighter wants...

    I am now an official oracle of all things 3.0

    Yeah. I think everyone will be flying in a suit in case they are boarded, which would almost always suck all the air out. Blowing stuff up will do that.

    What is the difference between Hornets?

    Well if you melt your Vanguard and fly the Hoplite you get as a loaner for the Prowler. . .you don't need to spend THAT much more. I dunno though, if you can use your BUK on the Hoplite to get your Harbinger back.

    What is the difference between Hornets?

    I am particularly interested in the specific ranges any given ship will see a Ghost, Sabre or similarly armored ship. For instance, if a ship with S2 sensors like a StarG can see a Vanguard at 20 km, and when you put Void Armor on the Vanguard it cannot be seen until it is at 5 km, it will be...

    I am now an official oracle of all things 3.0

    I'm not. I have not thought much about stealing ships at port but someone here just noted the old proverb that locks are meant to be picked. It's true. Locks do not stop thieves, they just keep honest people honest. Real thieves will always find a way to pick the lock, break the lock...

    What is the difference between Hornets?

    The SH comes with a larger reactor and especially if you are running big shields and energy weapons, the reactor would make a difference both in performance, and in the EM and IR signatures you put out. Likewise, the reactor in the Ghost was supposed to have been chosen to minimize EM and IR...
