    is the Carrack undermanned?

    You left out "Away team." In reality the ship should have a crew of around 12 to carry out a its exploration functions. More as a military scout going into harm's way. However, this is a game and consistently putting together a crew of 12 is not realistic, unless you are in Test Squadron...

    PC Advice. Keypads/GPUs etc.

    These days I would go with a 1TB SSD, nothing smaller. Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=dp_cerb_2 While my current monitors are all ASUS, I have never gone wrong with an LG and it has the best Specs and the best price for an Ultrawide Screen. I just got a Logitech X56 HOTAS for...

    Squadron 42 visual teaser... Let the discussion commence

    Single player FPS games have never really been my thing. I certainly wouldn't pay full retail for one. It depends on what the actual thing turns out to be.

    Squadron 42 visual teaser... Let the discussion commence

    The video didn't show much of anything that was new. Yes, a couple of Vanduul ships we haven't seen in their rework. One new one. Everything else we have seen. Many of the clips we had actually seen previously, they were just cut together in a different order. Yawn. After the vertical slice...

    Idea for new game play for bounty hunters.

    The proper role for a Bounty Hunter: "We are a single body, with no allegiance to anyone but ourselves. We offer one, simple service to all of our clients - we will cross contested jurisdictions for you, find who or what you’re looking for, and bring it back to you in the condition requested...

    No more boxruns for starter ships in 3.8?

    Coming in for a landing at Area 18. Crossed into the no longer marked no fly zone. Boom. Wake up in Area 18, oh that's different. Get notified that I my ship is taking too long to land. Get told I am blocking an active flight bay. (What the wreckage?) Catch a 650 fine, and a 550 Impound...

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    We have had size 9 torps for a while.

    Melt the Nautilus for the Ares?

    I would think mining beacons would be a Capital Offense.

    Melt the Nautilus for the Ares?

    You mine jump points and typical quantum exit points. Otherwise mines are about as useful as carpet bombing space.

    3.8 PTU testing, Warning Spoil Alert!

    A Star Citizen AU is supposed to be about 1/8th a real AU or some such nonsense. That would be why your math doesn't work.

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    That would depend on how armor is implemented. The Current Hull HP are a place holder. So the damage may not change at all.

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    Remember when using the Gatling against bigger ships, you are going to keep hitting with most of the rounds. :) Since it si a short ranged carrier bird, reloading should not be an issue. :) (And the black is cooler looking. :) )

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    Sounds like they don't have the style guide finished for Crusader.

    Here's the Crusader Ares

    Yet another short range Carrier required fighter, but this one needs a bigger carrier. Pass.

    3.8 Release date?

    Just as long as that is not "Daz soon."

    Vanguard Owners

    I have been running a CF557 under the nose and the GVSR on my Warden's nose. I generally lead with a missile or two and small fighters are dead before the end of the first pass. They have to close or run, they can't stay at range. In both cases that forces them to fight you based on your...

    It is not the intention of the ship to be able to carry a vehicle or any cargo.

    Cargo haulers will probably get nerfed

    That is the description of the Mercury Star Runner.

    Cargo haulers will probably get nerfed

    It is called a Mercury Star Runner. Though the Freelancers and Constellations also fill this role.
