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

    There is one other consideration, the Vanguard is a ship designed for fixed weapons. I highly recommend stick, not keyboard/mouse for it. Like most ships in Star Citizen, you have to put in the stick time to get the most out of it. For my personal preference, Vanguard, no it isn't close. I do...

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

    They are two different ships with different missions. The Redeemer is more multicrew and designed to fly along a path while the turrets engage targets along the path. This makes it ideal as an escort or a gunship engaging ground targets. The Vanguard is a fighter which maneuvers to put its nose...

    Figured out the shape of the stealth ship?

    The Engine Glow was different, but that could just be a parented prop or added in post.

    Figured out the shape of the stealth ship?

    Other than the engine glow, I saw a Connie. The seat turn around, the Cargo placement and the collision shape.

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    For privately owned vessels it runs about 60/40.

    WTB a BUK

    Based on what they have told us, the components, not just the modules and weapons, change. Specifically the Harbinger kit adds the extra armor, is what they said. Exactly how this will all play out is unknown.

    Whut, 1 day early?

    Only if they seriously improve the efficiency of system, planet and moon creation.

    The ultimate chair for Star Citizen

    That appears to be designed for use on a current nautical vessel, and not very well designed for that purpose. For example if you are standing at the helm, you can't see the display or easily reach the IPS joystick, needed for docking, which is usually done from a standing position for better...

    What ship would you live in?

    I do own both, however neither. The Carrack is large but doesn't offer amenities commensurate with its size and is too empty. For example, you are on the upper bridge, in the engine room, in the Nav Suite, where is the nearest day head? There isn't even one in sick bay. The MSR is too cramped...

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    Second choice on my MSR, "Free Trader Beowulf."

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    Wow. Well that demonstrates the net code needs serious work, regardless of which behavior is correct.

    SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB vs Intel Optane 900P 280GB

    The Optane drive is not designed to be used as an SSD. It is designed to be a smart cache to speed up drive access for your other drives. Note, it only works that way if your Motherboard supports it. It should, as designed, make a spinning disk about as fast as an SSD. Yes, it does also speed...

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    I haven't seen that, though I am only at High Threat targets. By the time the bounty's friends show up, I am already leaving. Then, again, I open the engagement at 5500 meters with a CF-557.

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    Yes, the MSR in the Scoundrel pack is bugged. I am in the same boat. :) On the other hand my Carrack is now named after the only person in my family tree, I know, that was an Explorer.

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    When you are killing them that fast, you are then waiting for the additional targets. Not worth the wait. :)

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    Haulers are not worth a crap at the moment. The quick sweet spot used to be around Connie/MSR/Freelancer Max, just stop, load up, fly to a TDD and sell. Sometimes I could fill my Carrack, but that usually required sitting around waiting for server ticks for load up. Now getting worthwhile cargo...

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    I have found it earns money faster if you just kill the bounty then move on to the next bounty instead of bothering with the additional targets.

    Best Stealth Transport

    I ditched my sabre, but not because I don't love the Sabre, but because I only want one Carrier fighter, and I need the cell in the Hawk. :) Once we get some tier two bounty hunting ships, that may change.

    Best Stealth Transport

    I also remember hearing 175.
