But that turret gunner is also the flight engineer, the E-War operator and the missile operator. When does that second person have time to man guns.

Right now, the way things are, my Vanguard is going from daily driver to never leave the hangar.

I have the issue, it is confirmed in the Issue Council.

Yes, it is real.

They don't give us the numbers to look at in game, but Erkul reads them as 400m for shotguns, 1400m for lasers, 2100m Ballistic canons and Ballistic repeaters 2800m sizes 1-4. Now at size 5+ the shotguns are still 400m, canons go up to 4200m, the Repeaters are at 2800m The Nose guns on a...

60 seconds of ammo is probably enough for one fight. With the additional range of the ballistics over the Lasers, that means a Hawk can probably take a Hammerhead, without taking fire. Especially when the shield won't regen while under fire.

All the Gatlings appear to have about 45 seconds of ammo. The ballistic canons appear to have about 60 seconds of ammo. That definitely seems a bit light.

So far I am definitely non-plussed by this patch. This new "balance" is clearly not ready for prime time.

EM is reading and locking on to a ship's electronic signature. IR is reading and locking on to a ship's Thermal signature. CS is locking on to a ship's shape. Without actively scanning a ship you would be limited to visual range, and to defeat it all the target would have to do was roll ship...

Cross Section is targeted based on the hull "cross section" which would require an active scan.

One other point that CIG should eventually get. EM and IR seeker heads are passive so your warning receiver should not light up on a lock, only when the missile's engines are detected by your IR sensors.

I have found the Vanguard and Valkyrie targets in the HRT and VHRT missions about the same. The ERT Vanguards, Valkyries and Hurricsnes are a little tougher because their reinforcements tend to arrive sooner. I recommend the Galadreen or M7A for their longer range. Carry all Arrestor III's...

Plus the ability to carry the prisoner back and, probably, the ability to keep the target from using quantum to escape. The ideal ship doesn't, yet, exist. The closest is likely the Cutlass Blue.

Hammerhead only pays (Depending on your bonus level) between 25k and 33k. Call to arms adds another 3K. About 5-10 minutes each with an Eclipse, once you are in space. You can make 100K if you have an ERT Group Bounty from North Rock and the correct bonus level. In that group only one is a...

The EMP is supposed to be EMP charges, whatever that means, not the EMP they gave it so that is a place holder but there will still be some form of EMP. The Sentinel is also supposed to perform Wild Weasel duties, have an FMS (Footprint Magnification System, aka F Me Sign.), and one would hope...

Where did you see that EWar was cancelled? The last info I saw was the EMP was described as a temporary placeholder and that Ewar mechanics were not ready yet.

About the turret, the primary job of the second person in a Vanguard is likely to be the E-War Operator, or Engineer, or both. The turret guns will be secondary. With the "operator mode" approach which shouldn't be limited to Missiles, those actions should be able to be handled from the turret...

What they changed with the Valkyrie was that Vehicle bays might be able to carry cargo. But the 600i and the Carrack didn't get that buff.

Brie is only good enough to play Mary Sue Characters.

I was under the impression that the lore had the ship as Jengo Fett's ship, originally. Maybe dad had plans. But we all know that the "rule of cool" is the likely culprit.
