    Gallant Burstfire mode

    The M4 cyclic is around 700 RPM, same as the M16. The G11 is designed to fire burst mode at around 2200 RPM but full auto was around 700 RPM. It's a neat concept, and one of several in the weapon, but there were definite drawbacks. There are lots of misconceptions about "Assault Rifles" out...

    Gallant Burstfire mode

    Granted this is a game viewed through Hollywood tinted glasses, not the real world. In the real world, full auto is for suppression fire. It is to put heads down. Having been a MOUT instructor, short bursts just aren't very good at that.

    This. The Connie is an Explorer.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    The Hab area already has weapon racks, and the old incarnation of the storage locker, plus an implied kitchen. Reorganizing that, plus bringing it to current standards, fills most of the useable space. The engineering area at the rear of the cargo hold, and the corridor to the Merlin, needs...

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    All the crew stations are on the bridge. If your ship suffers decompression you need your suit, before you need a gun. Also note that the Connie currently lacks suit lockers but has gun racks.

    I think the suit lockers are more essential on the bridge with the weapon racks to remain where they are now, roughly.

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I'd prefer the scanning station in the forward end of the server bay and the servers in the room where the scaning station is now, but otherwise IMHO. the MSR is just fine. When it came in my Scoundrel Pack, I had every intention of CCUing it to something else. It looks like it will stay though.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    There is some work that has to be done. Kitchen/Nozzletron. The lockers and weapon racks need to be brought to current standards. The metrics for the table doesn't look right. The top airlock has to go. They talked about moving or removing struts. Add components it doesn't have yet...

    See Star Citizen's biggest ships with the new Fleetviewer

    I have to admit, I'm disappointed that it is only 2D, not 3D like Starship 42. The 2D assets are pretty 2D assets, nonetheless.

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    Montoya and I are both 1/1, but you have a perfect score.

    And my bracket is busted. :)

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    Well our imperious leader has his bracket busted in round 1 game 1. Looks like my bracket gets busted at the end of today.

    What are your predictions for Citizencon 2022?

    Same old, same old. Promises of great new things coming, and nothing finished or delivered.

    WTB Razor CCU and Vanguard BUKs

    Last I knew @DirectorGunner has some BUKs in buyback.

    Anvil Liberator

    It isn't so much a ground vehicle transport as it is a general transport. It is what my better half and I intend to use to move our base of operations and to enable longer distant bounties with our Hawks. My point is, that it may handle your use case, but that isn't the design purpose of the...

    Anvil Liberator

    It is designed with two XS pads, one XXS pad and two medium ground vehicle pads. The front pad is both shorter and narrower. I'm not saying fitting more craft is impossible, but the Liberator is designed for no more than 3 transported pilots, (and other passengers) regardless of how many craft...

    Anvil Liberator

    For the sake of argument, I am not including space bikes as "craft." The Liberator carries 2 fighters (XS Pads), 1 Snub (XXS pad), and 2 "medium" ground vehicles. The Liberator is not set up to carry 15 craft, much less 15 pilots, in fact no player ship (so far) is designed to carry 15 craft...

    Anvil Liberator

    The UK pressed a pair of RO-RO ships into service as makeshift carriers when Hermes got damaged during the Falkland Islands War.
