    I am the liquor

    I have met liquor. In fact my relationship with the entire liquor family is both long and quite close. You aren't liquor, except possibly by marriage. After all that crazy Barcardi went and married a Mormon, so I guess anything is possible. Welcome to Test.

    Range, tankiness and firepower are the obvious answers. The Vanguard line are not supposed to be variants. One Vanguard should equal all Vanguards with Combination kits. Though the Hoplite was only implied not stated outright as being part of the equation. So, if you dump your Hoplite in...

    Army cadance, old school: Throw a grenade in a jeep Watch those bodies in a heap All I ever want to see are bodies, bodies, bodies. See that plane up in the sky Dropping napalm from on high Watch the enemy burn and die All I ever want to see are bodies, bodies bodies Etc.

    The trip mines were 3.16, I believe. The Grenade Launcher is a little older. Both will fill an airlock with bodies quickly.

    It, IMHO, comes down to what size unit you are trying to move. If we go with 8 man squads, then it takes 2 Valkyries to move a platoon and the Hoplite is pretty useless. With 6 man squads, then 4 Hoplites, 3 Legionaires, 2 Retaliators or one Valkyrie move a Platoon. (Though the Valk is short...

    If it also works as a drop ship then this ship serves a role the other dropships don't serve. You can deliver Marines from an Idris, Liberator, or similar size landing bay, to the target. As a dropship, this is the right size to deliver a squad. I'm still a bit dubious about the whole "enter...

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    It looks like the designers didn't pay much attention to the opening sequence in Star Wars (A New Hope.). The rabel stacked elite armored trooper bodies like cord wood as they entered the ship. I figured boarding like in Babylon 5's "The Gathering," or how the Galactica's Marines boarded in...

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    It does have more firepower. For a vessel that is supposed to be an explorer/cargo hauler, that, IMHO, is a misplaced priority. For piracy, in support of fighters, when it is time to haul away the loot, sure.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    In my mind the Corsair is only superior to the Connie in pilot firepower. Since these three aren't really combat craft... The MSR is superior in cargo hauling, and, highly likely, speed and agility. The Connie, depending on which version you pick, and what advertised modularity ends up...

    Yes. Also you can import them into the PTU build or "release" build after deleting your user folder.

    I didn't find it that difficult, once I figured out the interface and how to swap the throttle axis.

    Hull A promotional material and cargo box sizes

    I renember them saying that about the personal hangar. I didn't think it made much sense then either. We get a limited number of personal persistent hangars, iirc that is 1. You are buying and selling cargo at places other than your home port. Some ships, like the Hull-C can't even get to...

    Hull A promotional material and cargo box sizes

    Cargo, not grain, coal, etc., today, is moved in one of two sizes of containers. The big ships are carrying the same size containers that go on a truck. Ships and railcars were specifically designed to carry the containers that can be moved by truck. If there were fewer sizes more ships would...

    Sorry, my thought process was more like big deal, we've already seen this. Not as much they are not doing anything.

    Invictus Launch week 2952 teaser!

    This is what they showed us last year. (Which added a little from the year before.) Sorry, this is just lazy.

    Hull A promotional material and cargo box sizes

    They built cargo decks for a reason. They have also been stacking cargo boxes all over ground locations, especially Loreville, for quite a while. Yes, you may want to transfer some cargo between your ships in your private hangar, but that feels more like the exception instead of the rule. Your...
