Certainly another big plus with this is the Hammerhead will be in game before the Polaris, so why not fly it first? There isn't really a legitimate choice until they're both in game.

I think that's right. This is really the key element of the Polaris, that is relies upon Torps to do what otherwise it could not. We certainly need to see what radar ranges are like, but it appears at present, the torp ranges will be much greater than the spinal mounts, so if the Polaris can...

Just bear in mind, the Polaris is arguably not a cap ship. It's a Corvette, and the Corvette has always straddled the barrier of what makes a cap ship, or "ship of the line". According to most military theory, Corvettes are not cap ships. Given modern American parlance, the smallest cap ship...

I think you need to consider the role that CIG has planned for it as part of the military. It's a long range strike weapon, intended for use in mixed groups. Sentinels, Harbingers and Hoplites together can take on highly complex, long range strike tasks and are going to give us a real model for...

I drove an XKR for 7 years. Best toy I ever owned. I highly recommend them. After you get accustomed to that sort of power and handling, it is hard to go back to a normal car.

Sounds like you have great fun in store. Try to keep in mind that working with others is always the most effective thing, so flying your Hoplite in a wing of other Vanguard should be fantastically effective in the long haul. Also, don't discount the Prowler as a troop transport. I think it is...

My concern about the Polaris speed is that it was designed as a patrol vessel, which is the traditional Corvette role. Gunboats do not usually fill that role. The role of a gunboat is usually to attack much larger vessels. Think of the WWII era PT boats. It's just an unarmored speedboat with...

One of the benefits of the Hornets that i didn't see listed is that it is a truly multi-mission frame, like the US F-18 Superhornet. It is not a superiority fighter like the Sabre., but you can swap in and out various compoinents and have several different fighters for many needs. For...

I think we are a loose conglomerate at least until there is a real game, then you should expect more in the way of plans and goals. My goals are pretty simple--kill things and take their treasure. I don't care too much what things, but I am basically the lawful type and certainly all TESTies...

Thanks! Your web site is still sluggish and won't open for the bonus points, but I was able to open at the link immediately above. Must be you're swamped with entries!

They do say it is designed to combat fighters, so one suspects it has good shields. Of course those don't matter if what is shooting at it has ballistics, missiles or torps. Traditionally, the anti-fighter role usually goes to Corvettes. I am concerned they will nerf the Polaris top speed now...

Link won't open now for several minutes. is it me or has there been a thing with this? Everywhere else navigates quite fine.

Gunboats have always excited me. I do love speed! The thing that concerns me though, is that if there is no way to stop the larger torps, the fragility of a ship like a gunboat, especially when it is so large, is going to make it disappointing in some ways. There's no doubt all those quad...

I would bet a single Eclipse is more than a match for the Hammerhead, and might not even need a second missile. Beware. It's a gunboat. They die easy and it is 4 times the target size of a Redeemer. IMHO, the Scimitar from Next Great Starship was a better design than the Hammerhead. They...

Meaning a new ship or a reveal on the one we have?

Cool. I still think you should bring a keg, though. Nothing says "I love you" more than free beer. Well. . .maybe not nothing, but you get the idea.

The question is, can the provider or ISP like Verizon, set a higher price for Netflix than for a low bandwidth user. Net Neutrality did not allow the provider to set different rates, despite that this is exactly what the utilities do. Utilities charge you less for electricity than they do City...

I think you're the one who misunderstands. Reynolds Aluminum does pay much more for electricity than the average homeowner, becasue they use far more and the utlitiies do use the tiered system. The argument in the vid is that the ISPs should be able to do the same. It is not an argument that...

I am just shocked at this thing. Can someone tell me were to find the current torp ranges? This guy has a missile lock on a Tally at 30km. Does this mean the torp has a range of 30 km? He kills the Tally with a single missile. So a single Eclipse can eliminate 3 Tally's in a fight? Never...
