    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    Edit from above: the 300 series has been pushed back :-( , and the Reliant now has 2 beds! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_R_4dgvM0U
  2. Shadow Reaper

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    Just to remind for those who are into exploration, the 315P rework and Reliant Sen are both due for release with 3.5. Expect the Reliant update to be big, since no one wants what CIG made first time out. I'm hoping they put the bed back in and made it long range. Also due with 3.5 is the...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    They did say from the startt the ting that would make it out as Drake was the size and number of guns. It is a smuggler's version of a glass cannon. Expect it to be fragile. I'm not a fan of snubs either, but it's important to understand ships this size absolutely cannot have hangars. There's...

    Aquila, Mercury or Corsair?

    You're looking for a "general purpose" ship to run some cargo and explore the 'verse. The Corsair is cheapest, and has the most guns, but the least cargo space. The Mercury is probably the fastest, not much more than the Corvair in price, and has all those lovely computers. The Aquila cost...

    [Video] - Drake Corsair, and winner of the Ursa rover within

    I have the same misgivings about asymmetry, especially when it is tacked on and not seemingly a result of form following function, but like Toys, the shape is growing on me. I do love this size ship. I haven't heard whether it is really faster than the Conny, Mercury and 600i. What's with...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    The Avenger was sold as a failed paramilitary design--failed only for the lack of armor I think, but considered perfect for police use. The Vulcan is surely a military design. Remember, the C-5, C-17, C-130, C-135, C-141 are all military craft, despite they are cargo and tankers. Most of USAF...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    I'm not, but I do recall Chris saying Aegis is a military ship company, so I think either he'd say the Reclaimer is military (hence why it has such big guns and hard hull) or it is the exception. Hey, an Aegis Titansuit, tank, speeder or some such would be cool, too.

    I was honestly not sure if I really needed an 890J...

    Yes, in fact this is why I am gravitating toward a stock fighter that costs me nothing when I get my ass shot off. Despite it is so under-hung, I am loving the Razor EX more and more. I'm just not sure how it can manage with only short range guns. There are VERY few vids of the EX in combat...

    Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(

    I think Aegis is military only, so I would not expect an industrial design. I'd love to see a Corvette class to compete with the Polaris. Can't have too many Corvettes to choose from. Would be a huge money maker for CIG I think. If they skipped the hangar and went heavier on guns, guts and...

    Drake Corsair now on Sale for Everyone

    The first Drake ship I have a keen interest in. IIRC, competes with the Connie and is faster and more heavily gunned, but more fragile. Guess we'll see soon. View: https://imgur.com/Umlsyqv

    I was honestly not sure if I really needed an 890J...

    It makes sense, but the issue is not so much what makes good sense, but how to reward players for boarding actions without actually giving them ships. CIG's primary revenue comes from selling ships (even if they don't call it that) and they don't want to injure their cash cow. So I would...

    Space Whales

    I think if CIG brought in space whales, they could have trouble with Disney for copyright violation over the Star Wars Purgill. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR2Umhd_WZ0

    [Video] Excited for gimbal assist in 3.5!

    Best argument I've heard for gimbal assist yet, and there have been several good ones. Isn't there a way for CIG to figure out if someone is using a banned 3rd party tweek like aimbots and the thing that lags the playr to gain an instant leap sort of advantage. . .I forget what it is called...

    Genetics and the Human Race 930 years in the future.

    If you're asking about evolution, I don't think you will find much of that. Evolution is a response to environment, and space farers have taken control to not only manage, but improve their environments, so not much natural selection. Exceptions will probably be that we'll continue to grow...

    Should StarCitizen now launch only with a star system?

    The well documented reasons to be a pirate include: you get to wear an eye patch (very fashionable and comfortable--I think soon everyone will be wearing them), you can drool out the corner of your mouth as much as you like, you can grunt "aaarrrrr, arrrrrrrr!" without end and you can cheat. ...

    [Video] - Patch 3.5 is almost done!

    I don't think cursing works the way you think it works. Watch how others do it to figure it out.

    VIRPIL restock is in just a few hours

    Okay so, there are no HDMI outputs on the micro-mini form factor PCs. That sucks. I suppose I could look for a way to attach a docking station for an 11" MacBook Air to the back of the monitor and just drop it in each day when I get home from work? Anyone ever use a docking station? Could...

    For your next Con

    No, that's not me. Is just the algorithm at FaceBook knows me well enough to feed me stuff like this. I didn't go looking for it, but I will own I have done searches for things like nerf, and supersoakers in the past. The nerf searches were spurred by Toys when he was posting about some...
