    Personal fleet inventory and suggestions? ideas?

    How can you have a "go-to" ship until you decide what you want to do? IMHO, it is most important right now to connect with other players and look for fulfilling groups to game with. You will eventually want to spend money (game or real) on NPC's, and until we know more about that, it is hard...

    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    Someone 'splain to me what is the obsession with tanks? Seems to me even the humble Terrapin would make a great tank killer. Anything that flies slow, is armored and has a big gun is going to be capable of squishing tanks just like an A10. Whether we ever see a dual S4 mount for S5...

    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    What's better than a tank? I used to specialize in brawling in the Black Knight. My build was more extreme than this. I went for speed too, but removed some of the armor to make it even faster and put more medium pulse lasers and more chillers on it. I also added a single jump jet to the...

    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    It probably reminds of generic future tanks because of the twin guns, which there is really no cause for. Just looks fun. The Finish tank is not a main Battle Tank. It weighs half what an Abrams, Challenger or Armada does, so not a good comparison. The gun is 1/3 the size of modern Main...

    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    So you have manned real tanks in the past? Tell us more. . . It could be that it looks tall because it is unusually short. I doubt there would be viewing ports. All the old optics are gone. The T-14 Armata uses just high def cameras.

    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    Did I miss something? It looks like there is no detail about what sort of weapon is has, what sort of weapons the armor defends effectively against, the movement rate, crew size, mass, what is needed to transport it nor any other salient detail. but we should buy it. . .and hope the guns on an...

    To those that used to play Eve Online

    I played Eve for a few weeks and noted the social interactions were going to ruin the game so I moved on. I'm very interested to see how to avoid this in SC. I think Montoya's wisdom in this quite profound. He does what he does for the best reasons and if there is any way to avoid trolls...

    If only CIG would change the Freelancers cockpit view...

    If the view is what you're after, look no further than the Reliant Sen. That is a clever little explorer and should be a real kick to fly, except in combat. However, it is good to note that it rotates much faster on some axes than on others, so there are ways to fly it and be dangerous...

    If only CIG would change the Freelancers cockpit view...

    It's a game balance issue. If they made a light freighter that was as good a fighter as a fighter, no one would buy fighters. The Lancer has huge shields and reduced EM and IR signatures, with some fair weapons, and can carry second tier sensors, etc. If it didn't have a shitty view, who...

    why the Hoplite rules. . .

    . . .over the Redeemer in atmo, is explained here starting at time index 19M, but especially at 30M. Basically they are using a complete cross-sectional area model, so if your ship looks like a flying brick, it will indeed fly like one in atmo. If it has wings, it will fly like a plane...

    If only CIG would change the Freelancers cockpit view...

    I think they nerfed the view by design. They don't want people using it as a fighter. If you need the better view, buy a Cutty.

    The two likely have no correlation. You're presuming there would be a cause and effect relation, and there is no evidence for this. Likewise, a sample of one is never a statistically valid sample. This is what is called "anecdotal evidence". There's no way to tell what your problem really is...

    That is exactly the issue. We have already seen places like Google and Facebook alter access in attempts to force feed people news, etc. This is a mind control issue. POTUS had nothing to do with this.

    I'm sure there will be places available online to show your support. This isn't near over now that the states have taken a hand. The GOP is going to wear this like egg on their faces if they don't find a way to back-peddle.

    They did write that legislation. That's what was just repealed. It is perfectly appropriate for the states to now sue the feds for failure to protect the people. This above is a good thing.

    Before there were "flash mobs". . .

    I just can't believe how good these kids are. They started when the oldest two were 4 and 5 years old and now all 5 siblings perform together and sound amazing. The oldest is 16. The littlest is too cute for words, especially when she's dancing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLMh7exTM_Y
