    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    And just for completeness this is our Combined Fleet. Fly with a wingman. :)

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    The two pads on the Port side of the Kraken are shown to carry Medium ships, which would include both the Cutlass and the Vanguard. The Javelin's pad is also shown as carrying a single medium ship. The Kraken could carry our Dragonflys, Hawks, Sabres, her 325, my Eclipse and our Cutlasses. :) I...

    "There ya go!" _ Sam McCloud. :)

    I swear he specified Size 2 ships. Oh well. :)

    Thanks, though I'm not sure I agree. It's primary purpose is to "cross contested jurisdictions, find who or what you are looking for and bring it back in the condition requested."

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    They have, back when John Crewe described the change to the Polaris. (Sorry, no link.) Size XS is any size 1 or 2 ship. Size XXS would be any size 1 ship. (Though the game files, apparently, have some ships misidentified.) Either the Pices or the Arrow, should be the largest Size 1 ship.

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    I think it is better to go with what they told us, that it is 2xXS pads and 1xXXS pad and those limits until the ship is in game and we can see what actually can be carried. In any event, we have no need to pack it to the rafters. :) Just because you can doesn't mean you should. For our use...

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    The requirement to join Test Squadron was to crash an Auroa, not to own one.

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    I'm not counting on, even, the Hawks fitting on the front pads. I feel it is safer to do that until CIG proves me wrong. I'll probably pick up a Razor or a Pices, in game, for the front pad. The Retaliator, like the Vanguard, is supposed to have multi-system range. The Retaliator requires a...

    The BMM has an XS pad, so can carry a Hornet. But if you need a lift. :)

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    I don't see an Eclipse fitting on the XXS pad. The Eclipse does have just over twice the Quantum fuel of the normal small fuel tanks. (1150 vs. 538) My better half and I each have a Hawk, a Sabre, a Blue, a Vanguard and an MSR. We are debating a second Eclipse. The Liberator is to move the...

    McHale's Navy after 2021 IAE

    After Increasing my fleet in 2020 through 2021 ILW, I then went about cutting crew requirements and reorganizing my fleet. I also had a rule that I would only have one Carrier Fighter, in addition to an Eclipse, which is relatively long range and filled both Stealth Scout and Carrier Torpedo...

    There is no reason to believe Arena Commander loaners will continue to be usable in the PU, indefinitely.

    MISC Odyssey looks to be better explorer than Carrack! Buying Org Odyssey!

    There is a problem with the chatacterization that it collects the fuel needed. Both the Odyssey and the Carrack have to stop for fuel. The difference is that: The Odyssey has to stop roughly twice as often as the Carrack, even without a Carrack fuel module. The Odyssey doesn't have to stop at...

    Ares can have external size 5 Torpedoes!

    Wasn"t this always the plan.

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    I was hoping, by now, to be naming the rest of my ships.

    Where is the Test Colored ORC MKV Armor now?

    That is Yellow and Gray but a good choice.
