    Invictus Launch Week 2951 Megathread

    It was always supposed to be fairly available as a militia ship. They locked it down for a year.

    The Nomad has 3 size 3 standard. Sure you can lock them but they are still size 3.

    RSI Scorpius - New heavy fighter!

    As a general rule, weapon types being equal, going up a size increases your DPS by 150%. So 3 size 3 equals 2 size 4. You give up a little range for an extra size 3 DPS. I can see some circumstances where the two size 4 might be useful but for a fighter they seem more like edge cases.

    RSI Scorpius - New heavy fighter!

    You only need one good pilot and the turret gunner doesn't need to be all that good as a pilot. Also you don't need your friend to own a Sabre. Otherwise, I prefer two Sabres or possibly two Hornets depending on performance.

    At least it doesn't look like the Pilot gets the turret out of the box.

    It is smaller than I expected while the guns being larger than I expected. Not a Vanguard replacement but it definitely obsoletes the Hurricane. For me this is a pass. I am restricting myself to one Carrier Fighter, and that slot belongs to our Hawks.

    I'm torn between a Redeemer and a Vanguard =/

    2 size 3 and 2 size 4 is roughly the same as a Vanguard's 4 size 2 and one size 5, weapon types being equal. They are going to have to do much better if they want me to unmelt it.

    They don't look like they are gimballed but I agree they look size 2.

    RSI Scorpius - New heavy fighter!

    They are spending time and resources on making a new ship, why not a starter farming ship? Why not a repair ship between the Vulcan and the Crucible? Why not a refueling ship between the Vulcan and the Beerfarer? Why not a salvaging ship between the Vulture and the Reclaimer? If they want to...

    So a Hurricane or Lighting.

    Star Citizen doesn't need another fighter. What they need is to finish something, anything.

    Interesting the display days don't overlap this event.

    Beer Brewing TEST Recipes

    It is much easier than brewing beer. It is grab a bottle from the bar, remove the pour spout cover, grab a store and pour from the fridge, pouring both into a picher and flipping a switch (makes 2 to 3 glasses). :) Put the dust/fly cover back on the bottle when done.

    Beer Brewing TEST Recipes

    I never said easier, I said better. :) Try it. For easy, use a Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker, with some "Knock You Naked" margarita mix and Tequilla in it, or some Franco's Hurricane mix and Rum. Then just push the button.

    Beer Brewing TEST Recipes

    Beer? No Beer. Drink Rum, Tequilla, Bourbon, Gin, Vodkam, Whiskey, or similar. Beer gives you gas and recycles too quickly.

    M1 Abrams vs Nova Tonk size comparison

    When I was trained in MOUT, and trained MOUT (Movement Over Urban Terrain) tanks, even M1's, were not brought into the environment. In general they sat outside and fired into buildings. Granted in Stalingrad tanks were used in the city. In fact they were built in the city, while combat...

    M1 Abrams vs Nova Tonk size comparison

    Granted we don't have roads for tank treads to tear up, rivers to bog down in while crossing, bridges that need to support the weight, narrow streets to navigate, and similar. Even given all that the Tonk is still too big. Since World War 2, which gave us the Maus, the KV-2, and similar...

    More likely we will see "Combination Kits" which is everything the BUK is except the one button change. And they did say it is more than just the module. The Harbinger's extra armor was specifically mentioned as included.
