No, I'm the bone-head. I never saw the tabs. This is a great chart save that it needs to be color coded. As is it wants to make me blind. I like that he's giving average DPS over different time periods but using the earlier "burst" category might have been better in some ways. Some of the...

"All right, from the frantic waving of my producer, I think we have to take a quick break. We are definitely going to hear more from lead RSI designer Jules Parliegh when we get back and unveil an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the 2947 Polaris shipyards. Don’t go away." At the bottom...

I must respectfully disagree that buying weapons is a bad idea. I want my hangar full of weapons. My plan however it to let others buy them and then loan them off their previous owners while they're respawning. Apparently, The Outsiders on Leir are flying the UEE ships they bought for us, and...

Since it appears the Tana will crumble when using harsh words, I am thinking more and more than an F7A with ghost gear and 8 Jokers will be the ultimate lie-in-wait bushwacker. Energy management is an issue, but so long as your target goes down fast and you don't need to shoot long, that may be...

The Avenger and the Cutlass come stock with a pair of Joker Sucker Punch Distortion Cannons (different from the Neutron Cannons) that have very high damage for S1 weapons, but half of it is distortion damage and does not injure hulls. Instead it takes down shields and messes with the pipes in a...

Here's Noob's take on the Vanguard with the loadout set for alpha-strikes rather than primary/secondary. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QwdGb6KdBo and here is the weapons chart mentioned, that says the Behring M7A is doing 633 DPS. I can't seem to make it open so maybe someone else...

Someone was asking a few weeks ago about combat tactics, and quoting the conventional wisdom that "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" as regards FPS in SC. I know it may seem that the whole game is ships, Ships, SHIPS!!! but there is a significant portion to be played out in FPS, especially if...

Interesting analysis: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkUjCh-tz0 I would just note two things. First off, the Redeemer and Retaliator have docking collars, so are useful for boarding, whereas any sort of boarding from a Hoplite is going to require some EVA. Not sure how practical...

. . .or you could put all Jokers on it and not plan to kill your target but disable it. I'm still waiting to hear how energy management works with a full joker loadout. Has anyone ever shut down a target's 'puter with the distortion damage?

My issue with the rovers is, it sounds to me they intend to introduce a third class of weapons between personal and ship for vehicles, and shields that are smaller than ships' shields as well, so no matter how beasty a rover, an Aurora LN or an Avenger could very easily put it down. If you're...

We have 4 liquor stores in town here and they all carry Talisker. What part of NJ does not have good whiskey?

From the dimensions given it appears she will fit an avenger.

obviously these folks don't know that Talisker rules.

Personally, I would not want to take a Lancer to a battle except for a very specific reason. If your comrades call for missile support, functioning like artillery; and you can stay back out of the battle and rain death on opponents or merely keep them/busy evading while the fighters move past...

Okay so why would you take up valuable space on your Carrack, Idris, Polaris, Crucible, Reclaimer or even your Star G for one of these? What uses would you put it to if you had your druthers? IMHO, what we need is a long list of modules for this, that are deployable such that they do not...

Are you using the gimbal on the Vanguard and if so, what are you using to point it? Very few seem to be flying gimbaled weapons because you need an unusual setup and it is more complex, but seems how you really need to fly such a slowly rotating bird. Why are you staying inside 1500M?

I'm sorry but someone has misled you. Soviet fighters through the 70's and 80's had some E1 EMP protection since they were still using vacuum tubes, but they were not using the tubes because of the possibility of EMP. They used them because their IC technology had very poor quality control...

IMHO, we are all better off with as few ships as we feel allow us to play how we want to play, since to fly any ship really well will require extreme familiarity. Real pilots seldom are proficient with more than a single aircraft at a time, and that will be true of us as well. So for example...

Corvettes are historically best at running down smaller ships. The last thing you want is not use the speed they're famous for and get caught up in a slug-match with a larger vessel. All of the larger ships have "anti-ship" weapons intended to do massive damage to relatively stationary...
