    Anyone hear if we are getting IAE Aurora and Mustang game packages this year?

    The Delta costs more than the Dragonfly. Thanks though.

    Anyone hear if we are getting IAE Aurora and Mustang game packages this year?

    I want to upgrade my game package to 10 year insurance instead of the current 5 year insurance I have on it from a couple of years ago before applying my Yellow Jacket CCU to it. Has anyone heard if they are doing thst this year?

    Selling to people that can't get to legitimate markets would be your client base, then you can charge more. :)

    The Avenger is the cheap to run, quick to recover starter ship, when taking out the Carrack doesn't make financial sense. The Avenger also makes sense for running courier missions when the game resets or kicks off. :)

    Thank you kindly but I have a slightly different plan. :) I am moving my Avenger from the game package to the second half of a Nox 2 pack, so it has LTI. CCU a Mustang to a vehicle, (Yellow Jacket or Black Dragonfly) from the Mustang Game package. (I still have a Nox Kue, warbond, in my buyback...

    Then you can simply gift me that Valk you just bought. LOL. Looks like I am almost finished reorganizing after deciding I want armor not stealth on a Vanguard. :) Vanguard Warden, Sabre, Retaliator, Avenger, just waiting for the 10 year insurance Mustang game package, and to see if the Yellow...

    I am just trying to provide you with information so you can stop vacillating and make a decision. LOL. I am not going to make a decision for you. LOL

    It is the nose guns which are size 2 but gimballed and pilot controlled. The wing mounts are size 3 remote turrets, controlled by the two seats between the cockpit and the living area. But yes, currently, two size 2 Scorpions.

    Boarding is a function of surviving to deliver troops to the target ship. The troops do the boarding, not the ship. The Prowler survives by not being seen. The Valkyrie by shields and Anvil armor. They both excel at both ground delivery and boarding missions, and generally require help...

    That wasn't me with the faraday cage. That was me questuoning the utility of a stealth EWar bird. :) The Sentinel is lighter and the hull is less durable, which implies something other than standard armor. The stealth Ghost vs. Sabre is from the Sabre FAQ: The Hornet is ubiquitous. The Sabre...

    An interesting choice. I wonder if it is keeping its three size 5 guns.

    The Sabre is supposed to be stealthier than the Ghost. It is also more agile. With 3 shields less fragile. If the Ghost center mount place holder is required for stealth then the Sabre hits harder too. Sexy is more attitude than looks. :) And when you strap 4 GT220 Mantis to a Saber that...

    Stealth only goes so far, after that you have to be able to hit. I thought "very, very stealthy" was the Eclipse. Note the Sentinel is also stealthy, and long ranged. At the moment, two. Once we get AI Blades, up to all, but the door guns. (Yes, that would be 6 mantises and 2 Scorpions with...

    That is what my Sabre is for, plus it is my Carrier Fighter. :)

    That is why they make Vanguards.

    Fleet ship predictions and expectations.

    A pair of Starfarer Gemini (Scoops not missiles), a Hercules M2, possibly a Hull-C,. and 2-4 Vulcans could operate as a mobile FARP for 2-3 squadrons of Wardens, a Squadron of Harbingers and 2-3 sentinels for long periods of time.

    Now that is a good idea. The Valkyrie just turned up on my radar recently. It flies better than I expected. It can, legitimately, carry a rover, which after paying attention to seversl of the game play demos sounds more important than I used to think it did.

    That is what your Vanguard is for.

    Since we don't know what the Redeemer will become, maybe. Valkyrie, Hammerhead. :)
