    Apollo vs Apollo

    I'm most interested in smallish strike teams--3-7 ships. I get what you're saying, that larger groups need more comm channels, but I'm not sure a common, vulgar strike team needs more comms than an Apollo might provide. If you're coordinating more than a handful of ships, you definitely need...

    Apollo vs Apollo

    Agreed. Even if you can stealth both the Apollo and Polaris, the Apollo will be able to go places the Polaris cannot. Of course, if someone spots a Polaris, it is far less vulnerable to attack.

    Thanking God you're home safe, brother!

    Apollo vs Apollo

    Really it depends upon component slots and antenna mounts. The fact it sports a Large radar is encouraging. Given the choice, I'd pull the turret and put another antenna in. Seems to me though, that one might keep all the bed slots and still have potent C&C ability, so long as one can stay...

    Apollo vs Apollo

    I am wondering whether an Apollo would make a good Command and Control ship for a wing of Sentinels intended for deep incursion strikes. I think it really matters the details of what they put out. If they keep the large radar, this is a live option. If they keep a single large reactor instead...

    Apollo vs Apollo

    The Apollo will get its ass kicked in any real confrontation. if your plan is to go into battle with the Apollo, plan to cut and run. Faster is therefore better. Forget the missiles and guns. If your plan is to do medivac, faster is better. Look at the Vanduul fighter speeds and you'll get...

    Alien Race Found

    I think the butt scratcher may be a previously sited race called "stormtrooper" but that has had his arms half ripped off by a wookie.

    "Limited" ships upon release

    I'm not familiar with any statements that rare ships will be available in game only. I know CIG has said there will be rare components available in game only and not for sale (until a player tries to sell them.) That seems to me to provide a great balance. Even a cooler, if it does the job...

    Carrack 3.9

    I know a dozen people who intend to play but would never spend their time with an unfinished product, so I think there is a much larger market out there than most people know. Though I don't know how many WOW players etc. there have been, I would look to that kind of number, and I suspect it is...

    Carrack 3.9

    The big ships take a lot of time, but they knew this and started years ago on them.

    Carrack 3.9

    The fact they were pushed back does not concern me nearly so much as the stated reason--they're allocating additional resources to the Vanduul ships. They have already had troubles with moving people on and off ships. The Carrack hallways were all screwy because they had one team building one...

    Keeping up with the Explorations

    Yes. The Rangers are superior in that they are shorter than the X1 Force, so may fit in ships like the Hoplite better. Rangers do not however carry shield generators, which have proven to be especially effective against FPS fire. Also, grav bikes ride over boulders and such (see the various...

    Keeping up with the Explorations

    We don't know much about planetary exploration yet, but it is well to keep in mind it is possible, if not most likely; that multiple X1 Force bikes will be much more efficient than loading everyone up together in a rover. You can then be scanning muiltiple locations at once. So don't assume...

    Keeping up with the Explorations

    You may find the Apollo can be better outfitted for exploration than the Corsair. I've been focused on it a lot lately and there are many questions to be answered, but in short--it has that big ass Large radar. The Aquilla does not even have Large radar. None of the Connies, Cutties; Lancers...

    Finally got myself a hawk, help me load it out

    Use Hardpoint: https://hardpoint.io/#/customize/1YQDJAAAAAAAAEGkfG8inwVAGxZ68o-SyAG1IHdgNALABBNz31KcyA Presuming you will be flying close quarters, I would put Havocs in the nose, Sledge IIs on the wings and try to fly with the Slipstream reactor. If it gives enough power for all systems, you...

    Keeping up with the Explorations

    Power, in this game; will always be about your friends. If you want to explore and have friends enough for a Corsair and an Apollo, get a Carrack or a Polaris. IMHO.
