Yes, retractable confirmed. Also that the modular BUK packages swap across all platforms--sounds like any Vanguard can become any other Vanguard-- the S2s in the nose will be swappable for some other, but not all S2 guns, and the turrets will be swappable! meaning there is something of choice to...

The better deal you get when buying larger ships seems to apply primarily to original purchase. Once you have ships I don't think you can save in quite the same way by trading in for bigger. There are probably calculators available online you could use to confirm this. IMHO, there are two...

So does the Hoplite get cargo space?

What Vavrik said. Certainly, if you are flying a stealth bird, you ought to care about scan dynamics, because you're optimizing around that quality rather than others. You need to be able to fly unobserved and if you don't know what is a plausible detection distance, you can't do that...

Is there anyone here who can share with us what the Long Look radar does on the Tracker?

Certainly no one has ever done the books honor with a film, but if you'll recall; the books are filled with internal dialog that does not transfer to the screen (limited omniscient), so writing the script is a huge challenge and it will never be possible to please everyone. The film in the 80's...

I agree there needs to be a toggle, but I also agree that waiting for 3.6 to drop is fine. Lets see how everything flies before we object. Personally I hope they enable some ships to hover extremely well, and others not nearly so well. I don't think it's reasonable to see my beloved...

I recall the movie from back in the 80's was injured for a terrible soundtrack, and ridiculous voiceovers (severe no-no in screenwriting). I liked the actors, but surely someone will do better. Wasn't there also a made for TV miniseries back in the 90's or early this century?

I must respectfully disagree. Plenty of this stuff is in game. Players discuss it at a very surface level in some vids, but there is room to explore scan dynamics in order to become a better pilot. What we’re calling “active radar” or RCS for “Radar Cross Section” is in game since the last...

Intel's 10nm tech is really 11 nm by anyone else's standards. They are reaching for 9nm right now, and have failed to deliver for more than a year, which is why they still market older chip tech. There is a difference in how many transistors can go on a reasonable sized form factor, based upon...

Another interesting point: In drift mode, with weapons, shields, 1 reactor, one cooler, engines and maneuvering thrusters all off: the Sabre has an EM sig of just 138. It's nearly invisible, but it can still scan for EM and IR, and fire missiles like this. Just how close could you drift...

Consequent to watching ‘50’s pirate movies at 2AM, my internet access is throttled and all navigation is now painful. I can however load the Hardpoint calculator and write offline, so here follows some of my most recent finds on scan, stealth and seeing stuff in space. IMHO, this is one of the...

I'm curious how peeps plan to stop the 890 fall prey to pirates. Seems it would be maybe the highest value target for such unscrupulous folks. I'm encouraged the Sabre will fit. You could fly a whole wing off it is you had the players. I don't think a lone Arrow will make a difference.

From your description I think you should choose the Ghost over the SH and Heartseeker. It's optimized for what you want and if you lose it, you'll get back something closer to what you need so your costs will stay down. Given that aside, I would say you definitely want to shoot scatterguns so...

The remedy for pirates is certainly escorts. No matter what you're hauling cargo in, a handful of escorts is a huge deterrent. Certainly if I were flying a Star G I'd want a handful of Tana's flying escort. Even though they don't dogfight well, any NPC can launch missiles and since they...

SC is pointing toward the best solution to this problem I've ever seen, which is bounty hunting. If you want to earn cash for killing players, you want a job as a bounty hunter. From what they're describing of how they want the game to play, it is going to be HUGELY inconvenient to hold outlaw...

Couple things. . . First off, UEE ships do not have a self destruct. Only Vanduul ships have that, and the reason they have it is so players don't load up on free ships on a daily basis. If you want to steal ships and not have the hassles of outlaw status, there will be a small selection, as...

They still owe us scanning sensor sats, probes, mines, and personal shields, and I would like to see a long range stealth gunship. Maybe another Tevarin design, but larger than the HH and smaller than the Polaris--skip the hangar. Something like a five person Eclipse with several big guns.
