    Vanguard wish list

    The Scorpius and the Vanguard serve very different roles. If your only measure is DPS then the Vanguard is lacking, however DPS is not the only measure to apply. The Scorpius competition is not the Vanguard but the Hurricane. If you truly want to compare them, OK. The Scorpius is less agile...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    I run an Eclipse for ERT Bounties, so I can answer some of these questions. The Sentinel is not really stealthy in the first place, so how I use a Eclipse has to be considered at further distances. I don't do anything special. I upgraded the stealth components to Grade A. On approach I run flat...

    Excited for the Ares?

    Only if I have a full set of gunners. :)

    IAE, not before.

    Excited for the Ares?

    It means that if a normal ballistic gun has 30 seconds of ammo, this will have 60-90 seconds of ammo.

    Excited for the Ares?

    It is cool looking. It is a great looking ship that fills an important role and should have great range. My Eclipse fills a very similar role for me, so no Ares for me.

    Ship Names - is there a Test prefix?

    I think I want to name my Polaris the TSS Bar Fight.

    They also said there won't be a subscription payment. So how is the company supposed to be able to maintain servers and do updates?

    Sorry. I didn't think the differences would be that much.

    This is good until CIG produces a higher tier Bounty Hunter ship. This is the way!

    Not all the bundle packs do. The Complete Anvil pack, for example does not. The Eclipse and Ares are both Single seaters, without an interior. The Eclipse is supposed to be a little shorter ranged than the Vanguard but it has, roughly, twice the range of any other small ship. The Ares should...

    Never mind about the actual numbers, you can figure those but given the ships in question I doubt there is $185 difference. This is the math on the base numbers. . Tomorrow, since the Corsair should be available at the start of Drake day. If you melt the Corsair, the Polaris, the Redeemer...

    The Ares doesn't fit in a Polaris but it shouldn't have to. It should have the range, even without the ridiculous fuel tank buffs the Herc and the MSR have. Is SQ42 listed seperately than the Corsair? Can you give me your melt prices for the Polaris, the Sabre, the Talon, the Shrike the...

    Have you considered an Ares? Single seat heavy fighter without the range limitations of the fighters not named Vanguard or Ares. I am both an Eclipse and a Vanguard fan. The Eclipse has a very limited mission profile. It does one thing and one thing only. I have an idea other than the one I am...

    This sale, I am cutting my crew requirements, with one exception. I figure if I am going to spend time recruiting a crew, go big. The loaner is the Bomber plus a Gladiator. Once the modules are in game, then you have to do something about it. But you should be sble to buy them in game.
