One advantage of the chunkier Mercury they showed during Fleet Week was it looked like the top turret had a better field of fire.

The tech to do it is not in game yet. It is a component in component issue, primarily.

That would make the knees non-functional. :) (Or at least a major weak point.)

I am planning for it being the hull is the hull and the armor is an integral part, just in case. (Which is why I am carrying a Warden to Harby CCU as of this anniversary sale, which I can melt.) Having said that. From the Q&A page...

That is properly pronounced "too-KILL-ya." Though I do like a proper Margarita, and it isn't a Long Island, in spite what the bars in most of the country, not on the island itself, will tell you without tookillya. :) .

The armor, or lack thereof, is supposed to be part of the BUK but we won't know for sure until they get to that point.

Which is from long before the Vanguard rework. I can't find the video at the moment. I will update if/when I do find it. They didn't say there would be a Hoplite module, but they implied it was now possible. In View: https://youtu.be/kF7GF4W12JE they talk about how the hull was unified between...

Am I in the wrong place? To solve the "sober for six months" problem, just arrive at the bar before last call. The obvious order is "one bourbon, one scotch and one beer." View: https://youtu.be/sDf0IwXoOmY

My best starter package in buy back is only 60 months. Sorry I can't help. Of course you can do what I did until I bought the Scroundel Pack, turn it into a Dragonfly and put any LTI ship that makes sense into the account.

After losing another cargo load today, I give up on large cargo running. 600i explorer it is. And I'll put my stealth Scout/Org Anti-Cap Ship raider back into the fleet. This should be me after the sale. (And that Mercury better be awesome.) LOL.

I'm trying to decide between getting a Hercules C2 plus a 600i Explorer or getting a Carrack.

It shows intent. We won't know the extent of the intent until the ship is flyable, and some of systems that are supposed to be there are in game.

From the Ares Inferno ship page, first line: "Whether heading up a crew or hunting big ships solo, the Ares Inferno is a force to be reckoned with. This ballistic Gatling-equipped variant tears through gunship armor and turns smaller fighters to dust in seconds." Seems while the primary target...

It has a few kinks in it, like most times the marker is in the middle of a bunch of big rocks. LOL.

The problem is when they spawn, and where quantum dumps you. With my Vanguard, I tend to do a high speed pass on the marker, and pick them up just fine at 5+ when I turn around. :)

The Q&A talks about being effective at 8+ KM. If you start at that range you get more than one shot before your target even gets in range, especially if you don't oblige by closing the gap yourself. The current problem is most of the time Quantum drops you out at about 2KM from your target.

I suspect much will depend on starting range. The single Size 5 on a Vanguard and especially the 4 size 4 on a Connie are extremely effective above 4000 meters. Most small and medium fighters go pop before they can get in range.

The Ares is supposed to have armor and maneuver about the same as a Vanguard or Freelancer. My impression, from the Q&A, is the Inferno is supposed to have thicker armor than the Ion. While the Ion has 3 shields vs. 2 on the Inferno. They should both be fairly survivable, though, like the...

Current limitations is one missile per rack with a max of four missiles of the same type. The Connie has 8 racks with 2 different missile types, so a max of 4 at the moment. With the current state of missiles I wouldn't bother. Yes that is supposed to change, especially for missile boats.
