    Anybody else excited about the gameplay options Land Claims could open?

    This is true. For a Space Sim very few of the laws of physics appear to apply. :)

    Thor Shots are not expensive. They amount to dropping a I-Beam into a gravity well. Comparatively a Nuke is a small boom. LOL. Heck, we have tractor beams that move asteroids. Just throw a rock.

    Even storm troopers can hit the broad side of a barn if it isn't moving. Besides with a Thor Shot you only have to be close. :)

    OK this time for real... (Orion)

    For it to carry your ore to market that means you have to leave the area.

    Plots of land, and, especially, structures on them can't dodge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

    Original LTI Ships and Ground Vehicles for TESTies

    Per the starship stat sheet explanation page, they become combo packs. A Module and Equipment to change between the Harbinger, the Sentinel and the Warden. All the variants have all the same hardpoints now as well. (Same pylon mounts, for example.) So based on Noobs video, and the corrections...

    Except the 4 weapons in the nose of the vanguard, in 2.6.3, have the range of a Size 2 weapon but do the damage of a size 3 weapon. So it has 2 size 2, 4 size 2.5 and one size 5. Add 16 size 2 missiles or 8 size 3 missiles and it isn't all that outgunned, short of the Hurricane.

    I can't stand the Cutlass. I like the way the Vanguard Warden flies and fights, currently, before the beginning rework. No it isn't going to out turn a Sabre, or Gladius, but a P38 couldn't out turn a Zero either. :)

    I gave it some thought and came up with a new plan. LOL. The Sabre is turning into a Sentinel if I can find a Warden BUK. Given the missions in the PTU, having a ship without at least some interior sounds like a bad idea. Since part of the time I am going to be escorting my other half's...

    @DirectorGunner have you still got a Warden BUK around? :slight_smile: What is the insurance on it, not that I expect it to matter much, just curious? :slight_smile: And since I am in the US, how do I calculate my cost? NVM, I found it. $10.59. :)

    Vanguard Ships

    KInd of like that Sentinel plus 2 Retaliators I was talking about as an anti-Cap Ship combo? LOL

    Vanguard Ships

    After Serious consideration, I have decided I want the Vanguard instead of the Sabre I just picked up. I am going to get the Sentinel and find a Warden BUK. Doesn't the Sentinel comes in Test Colors? :slight_smile: That gives me a combination of E-War/EMP capability and an Escort fighter on...

    Aegis Hammerhead

    Space specifically designed to carry a rover in the Hammerhead. It was a design requirement.

    Aegis Hammerhead

    Which is why I have both a Dragonfly and a Nox.

    Canadian Intelligence? I thought that was left to MI-6 and US Military Intelligence? Two of them. Though with the Cutlass getting bigger, that may be problematic.

    Aegis Hammerhead

    If you are only going to have one, I recommend the Dragonfly because it can haul some cargo and/or carry a friend. I do prefer the Nox appearance though. :)

    Aegis Hammerhead

    Oh I am not saying the Hammerhead is a bad idea. I think it is a great concept and, a role that needed to be filled and a great looking ship. I was just responding to the post about the Hammerhead eating 3 Retaliators for lunch. :) Three Retaliators is an awful lot of strike power with a very...

    Aegis Hammerhead

    I was under the impression your Hope carried the Cutlass Red and your Aurora. That is cool. To move your base of operations you only have to make one trip. :slight_smile: My other half and I will have to make several. LOL. I am looking at Bounty Hunting. I have an Avenger Titan, for light cargo...

    Aegis Hammerhead

    If the three talis unload from three vectors the Hammerhead is likely to turn into a fast expanding ball of gas. Even if the Hammerhead is as fast as a Tali, it will be lucky to get one of them if it survives, unless they stick together for some reason. You are dealing with point defense vs...

    Aegis Hammerhead

    That sounds like a good combination. I hope you have a dragonfly though. :)
