By definition, capital ships are always and only warships. The Reclaimer is not a warship. Another part of the definition is that the main target of a cap ship is one of its own class, and since Corvettes usually attack larger vessels they are most often not considered cap ships. The...

Has anyone seen info on the supposed "S8 manned turret"? I had no idea they decided to go above S6. When did this happen? I'm volunteering to man any turret, when I'm not busy playing silent stalker.

Keep in mind, that any small tending craft you might want to operate off a Polaris can be flown into theater seperately, and then manintained with the hangar so long as they fit. If you want to fly ten Hornets off that hangar you could do that. I dunno if they're really gonna make it limited...

I think they are restricting the gravity to the areas above the plates, so August has a good point. There is an artificial gravity generator, and it emits gravitons, but it doesn't create a force unless above the grav plates. The plates need pipes so if damaged in combat, sections of the...

The Vanguard is really not a dropship. The general platform is supposed to be "long range fighter". Personally I don't think they can get $330 for ship with no QD and I think they know this. Still no official word what to think on JD. I think they expect a firestorm when they come out on...

Is a good guess. I'm still hoping as they open it up the hangar gets a little bigger--same with the Carrack.

Yeah, someone's gotta check see what happens when you try to sit down in one of the troop chairs while holding a cargo crate. That could be a doable thing, and easy to check. My guess is oyu ca;'t use the seat while holding a crate, but who knows?

It's much more powerful than that. The Polaris has cap ship radar, while the Tally is medium. Since Torps have greater range than guns, this makes an enormous difference in the way the ships can be used. Add to this that the Polaris can support spotting ships like the Ghost Hornet, Tracker...

It's important when comparing game transports to real world transports, to note that in the real world, we don't fly armor. SC is presuming we can, so the closest real world troop transport to things like the Hoplite, Prowler, and Valk are not helicopters, but APCs. MV22's don't include guns...

I'm always for flying what is in game. What is it you want to do?

Best analysis I've seen so far, and I think a great argument for cargo grav plates in the Vanguard, Prowler and the Valkyrie. This guy is so right that if the notion of protecting gameplay balance requiress flying civilian cargo craft into combat zones, the notion is utterly broken. Troops...

I think they will adjust so you can dodge in the most agile ships and not in the others. For fighter combat I think the Hornet is really the central figure, that all others are best measured against as agile or not. I'm pretty sure I have read this in the past.

Everyone using these T16000s, is there a mount for putting them right onto a gaming chair?

I was going to recommend marcsad2 to speak to this issue, and yet was surprised with his posting the notion of adding tablets. That is way kewl. I have wondered about the added cost of using a touchscreen for ages, and fact is you only need it for a few things. Shield management is a great...

If you don't mind the cargo bouncing around, the Prowler adds stealth to that selection and it doesn't cost much more. I'm still lovin' on the Prowler, 'cause I loves S5 guns. Escort with an Eclipse or three.

Agreed, but if you want to run cargo in a military vessel, the Carrack is a better choice, IMHO. It may be slower, but the huge scan radius will keep you safer, and it hauls a lot more.

Welcome back!

Why buy something you can loan offin' another? I can sell you a few though, them's got the cash when the time comes.

That's true, but they're not designed to operate singly. If you put say one sentinel, two Harbingers and three Hoplites together, you have a formidable strike force that can pretend to be something else, and could outfight a Polaris. The nice thing is even though they cost much more, they cost...
