That is exactly why I have my Titan. Versatile ship, low cost can be used to retrieve cargo or, with a stasis pod or six, people. :) "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...

I don't even expect my Tali to leave port on day one, unless it is to shuttle it away from the crowd to a less crowded home port. That is why I have an Avenger Titan, and will have stasis pods for it when that addition is allowed as opposed to the current either/or. :) I have a Vanguard...

Right. I was just pointing out that the Size 10 were not for that role.

I will also note that, for an alert pilot, a ship smaller than a Connie/Tali, dodges size 9 torps fairly easily. Obviously we haven't seen size 10 yet. Combine the ability to be dodged, the lock on time and the cost, Size 9+ Torps should not be classified as anti-fighter weapons. That isn't to...

BTW, for those interested the Tali is the Subscriber Ship of the month right now. I am not sure why, after all turrets are bugged, there is nothing worth firing a Size 9 at, in the game, and since the modules are not in game you can't haul cargo with one :) but it is the ship of the month.

My Tali has two Torpedo bays with two fixed launchers (aft) and 2 rotary launchers (Fore), and locks and fires all 6 at once. On the other hand, I stand corrected, the Polaris has 4 tubes.

I wouldn't think much bigger than a Sabre or Hornet, though a Gladiator might fit.

Thinking of naval ship roles, the verse is missing a stealth ship between the Polaris and the Idiris. Something with torps instead of the flight deck. A rail gun to deal with Merchantmen and clean up. Then we would have the equivalent to Submarines.

The Retaliator seems to fill that role more than the Polaris. Unload the entire payload at once, like an old PT boat instead of having 2 tubes. The Polaris, with its two tubes and size 10 torps seems to be ideally placed to deal with Retaliators though. Kind of like what WWI and Interwar...

I watched two Idiris and 4 fighters engage in a furball during the Gamescom Demo. The focus was definitely on the Idri (Idirises?) But the two Gladius and two Buccs were definitely engaged especially in the second fight.

The reason I suggested the Retaliator is it fills the same role as the Polaris in large scale combat while being versatile enough to make money outside of large scale combat. :) And it is flyable now.

You aren't happy with your dog fighting skills, but still want to be combat focused? There are other jobs in Star Citizen. :) You could get a Freelancer, Cutlass, or even Avenger Titan, Constellation or Hull series and Haul cargo. You could get a 315p, a Freelancer DUR, Aquilla or Carrack...

Eclipse, and Retaliator, carries Size 9 Torps. The Polaris carries Size 10.

You sound like an interwar Admiral. If ships are impervious to fighters, we wouldn't even have fighters. We certainly wouldn't have Carriers.

It fills the role of WWII "Torpedo Boat Destroyer" (aka Destroyer) as near as I can tell. It can engage Retaliators before they get in range of the taskforce. It only has a pair of tubes, so solo won't be as effective against point defense as Talis are but can engage as part of a strike and do...

That is what they said, so I could have all my ships match. :) (2 out of 3 already do. :) )

If you have a 770 or more wait for the 11 series, this summer.

Customer Service told me that is not the case. But since there is no ability to actually apply skins, I guess it doesn't really matter.

X4 is faster than games transfer data to video cards. Or, at least, I have yet to see a game that transfers data faster. I used to run QA for a 3D software company. Hardware is well beyond software in terms of capabilities. Games are written to a lower common denominator than top of the line...

Requires Thunderbolt 3 port. X4 PCIe is just fine, it even works with Iray rendering. In fact the Alienware Amplifier is more likely to work better with an Alienware laptop than one of the generics.
