    3.17.2 Evocati Leak

    Spaceship hud is different from GROPO HUD. :) It only becomes a loot run because the AI is brain dead. If the AI actually starts to act intelligently, it becomes a completely different matter.

    3.17.2 Evocati Leak

    IFF in a Heads Up display world makes sense and is realistic. Friendly fire is a real world problem that is always looking for solutions. In the real world lots of things are done to identify friendlies, using things like UV chemsticks, the placement of reflectors on helmets (on the back)...

    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    For the sake of completeness, my better half and I both play. This is our combined fleet. The Eclipse is a place holder, for what, I have no idea. I'm also not sure the Cutlass Blues are as much use as originally intended, since I bought the Liberator.

    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    My fleet plan isn't as grand. ;) I also prefer specialized ships to Jack of All Trades. It has four priorities. Limit required crew. With one large crew ship in case of group play Limit craft that need a carrier. (Previously limited to one.) Bounty Hunter. Org combat support.

    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    I started with a Mustang. I've never owned an Aurora. The Mustang is long gone. The Aurora is a loaner with my Dragonfly. The closest thing I have to a starter ship is my profession starter ship, a Hawk.

    Is it bad that I never fly the loaner I have and really don't like it?

    How many docking ports does the Idris have?

    The limitation looks like it will be fuel, not time. Systems are crossed in minutes, not days. Sure there might be an edge case or two, but generally, you are going from fuel stop to fuel stop. There is little reason to need a bed for general use.

    How many docking ports does the Idris have?

    I don't see the Liberator as needing bunks for pilots. In fact given the speeds we travel and the preponderance of bases, it appears beds, in general, are overrated.

    How many docking ports does the Idris have?

    Since they are getting rid of all vertical docking ports, the number is unknown since the model I've looked at has those. IIRC they are round, as well.

    The other plan is to consider a progression in your chosen profession. So, for example, a ROC, a Prospector, a MOLE and an Orion.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    A Dragonfly is the only ground vehicle I have. It isn't as fast as a Nox, but more versatile, IMHO.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Since the insertion is noisy, they know you're coming. One would think flight crews are suited up.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Breaching a wall is a better choice than using a door in the real world, especially when the defense has a few fireteams of their own and knows you are coming. Granted this is a game, but I just keep thinking about the Storm Trooper bodies in the airlock in the opening sequence of Star Wars.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Other than to serve as a dropship for ships with XS hangars, I still don't see the point. It would work better without the docking tube and more storage.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    Best life and sales advice I ever got was from a Muppet.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    I resisted and left things alone this year.

    New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer

    I rather have a Sabre or Hornet and a Wingman also in a Sabre or Hornet than a Scorpius. Fortunately I do have a Sabre and a wingman (wing woman?) with a Sabre. I don't see the attraction, other than to "lock S foils in attack position."
