I like that she's a real student. For an org leader to go train with other orgs takes some humility and is really excellent leadership. I think she singlehandedly brought the Skunks over from ED. There seems to be a lot of them, and combined with the Raccoons and Pathfinders, she has...

I am still pondering daily all the uses for the Liberator. I would certainly want to fly the Eclipse off the Liberator. You're right though, I don't think there is a single light fighter than has the range of the Eclipse. I think instead of teaming it with a fighter that has similar range...

Epic tank battle: View: https://youtu.be/jCRzuG8H8og?list=RDCMUCbcYPE10gBDIYzFyFX2WI7w Given they have the connections to get in these battles, and we certainly have the players and equipment superior to them, maybe we should see what we can do for each other? How did they get that sort of...

I agree completely, and I know there are already some groups who play and train regularly at TEST. I haven't heard tell of any super tight "mil sim" groups. The Skunks, Pathfinders and Raccoons are all interesting groups for the depth of their sim work that we can learn from--hence my posting...

More Katie--the Skunk Works training with another org, the Raccoons, using grav bikes to board ships from the stern of a Carrack. I think this would be done better with the smaller Nox and better still from the X1 force when it comes out. Makes me lament--we still don't know if the Nox will...

I've been watching a lot of Katie of late, just because she does such great narrative over her vids. I stumbled blindly onto her episodes with crews handling larger craft. Without any brutal military precision, her team handles Retalliators, Hammerheads and Carracks to deadly effect, and her...

Rumor is they extended the cargo area in the exploration version, as well as moved some stuff in the hangar so it accommodates larger craft.

My guess is, the only exception to the rule about smaller ships unable to grapple larger ones is the Vanduul Cleaver, since it does not grab with a tractor, but rather tears into the hull of its target in order to load boarders.

Agreed. I wanted to love the 600i but found the poor use of space daunting. Sounds like CIG heard the complaints.

Anyone heard of the rework on the 600i, that now includes a T2 med bed, and tighter use of the space inside?

The volume of space a ship can scan is the product of the scan diameter area times the SCM speed of the ship. The ships are supposed to both have Large scan arrays, so given there are no other differences in scanning, the difference is all in the SCM speed. I would not be surprised if the...

Most people here know I am very transparent with my views It’s quite some time since the Ares came out and yet I have not shared any observations nor opinions about it. It’s competing with my beloved Sentinel, so I really didn’t want to find it is in any way a better ship. Seems we can’t always...

The trouble with this has always been the Polaris was slated for a single Large shield instead of Cap class. However, first analysis of the Odyssey already has players wondering of CIG won't need to upgrade the Polaris shield since it is bigger than the Odyssey and is a dedicated military ship...

Both great vids. Thanks for this. Some things to note about comparisons to the Carrack. . . The Odyssey has Cap powerplant, cooler and shields. The Carrack has all Large. In general, Cap components cannot be swapped out, but are superior to Large components. The Carrack has about 40% more...

Has anyone tried putting Eclipse and Nightfall in this and leaving the guns and shields off? It has an extremely low IR and if the EM goes below 9k we may have a new stealth champion hauler. Certainly its no use trying to fight in this thing, but I love the interior layout enough I can imagine...

I don't have a pic of the Carrack's hangar for comparison. i just know it doesn't fit the longer small ships like 300 series, Talon, Khartu-Al, Reliant, etc. Any bay will fit an Arrow. No bays fit Vanguards (save maybe on the Bengal.) It's all the ships between that are in question. The 300...

This is one of those ships you don't need to own. It's going to have so many owners who need crew it will be easy to find one to fly on. Since it is deep space, it's a great place to put an alt. The cost of being in charge is you need to spend a lot of time fashioning a great crew who will...

Looks like the dorsal opens like a Polaris (probably sans lift) for the hangar, and that the stern lowers a ramp for a vehicle bay. Think of a Polaris with no weapons. If it includes an advanced scan suite, might make a great companion to the Polaris for deep excursions. The flat section that...
