    Should I get a Constellation?

    I never had one, other than as a loaner ship. I guess I need to be booted from the org. :(

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Choice between collecting a bounty and keeping alive with an intact ship.... It isn't like you can bring in a live bounty with a Sabre anyway. :slight_smile: Note that if one person on a ship is a pirate, in the current game, killing the ship and everyone aboard does not earn a crime stat. I...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Unlike the Freelancer or Cutlass you are, in a Sabre, more likely to be able to follow it, especially against a Cutlass or a Freelancer. And if they open the doors, the damage bypasses the armor, meaning you don't have to be there long.

    Should I get a Constellation?

    In 3.0 you shoul d be able to load a pair of blades into the computers and have automated turrets. You should keep a small ship to run the low end early missions as the Connie's expenses are likely to be more than the mission rewards. Perhaps upgrade your Aurora to a Titan and get a Connie...

    Once the Sabre is detected. Opening those doors and peaking out vs. 4 gt-220 is likely to turn those looking out into a fine red mist. :)

    Are we blind? Deploy the wallets!

    Hornet Ghost to Sabre. Freelancer and Cutlass to Retaliator. Probably Nox to Cyclone. And then see what modules I can afford.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Missiles are expensive. And if you need more than 4 size 3 or 8 size 2 you are fragged anyway. The 4 size 3 guns that you can put on target and keep there, without a turret is the same as the Freelancer and likely to be more effective than either the Lancer or the Cutlass, since you can...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Tali or Connie should handle the task nicely.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    They don't add firepower over my Sabre. They don't provide enough of an upgrade to my ability to take bounties over the Avenger to make it worth it. They can't carry enough of a ground vehicle to retrieve a bounty away from a starport. It saves me both time and money to just skip this class...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    If you If you say so. I was never interested in the DUR anyway. If the MIS doesn't have a rear turret, I am not interested. In fact I am now rethinking having any ship in that size category at all since it doesn't offer a significant upgrade, in capability, from an Avenger. Cutting my personal...

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    The reason I really want to know how many blades a Medium Computer can install. The Tali can have 2 Medium Computers and a blade can automate a turret.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    That and the reduction in the cargo capacity would cover the sensors. Also why I thought the MIS had better sensors than the base.

    Turret slot, not cargo capacity.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    No the Aquilla has the same cargo capacity as the Andromeda. The Taurus additional cargo capacity comes at the expense of the lower turret and the Merlin. The Andromeda and the Aquilla have the same specs, except the Andromeda has a top turret and the Aquilla has the sensor array. So the DUR...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    The Aquilla doesn't lose cargo capacity. The Red doesn't lose cargo capacity to the scanner. And the red's scanner isn't manned. If that is what it is, then, that is what it is, and the MIS is not for me. The question becomes do I really want a ship in that size class.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    If that is the case, then, for me, the MIS is out. Base or Max, or lose the medium size ship altogether.

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    If it can carry a buggy or rover, and some stasis pods, I was actually considering getting one to be my bigger bounty hunter ship. That way I can have a living module to entertain clients, carry a vehicle that can bring a bounty back to the ship, and use as a drop ship or PT boat, or...

    Anniversary Sale Incoming, Bomber?

    I am looking at a Tali as well. The question for me is how many blades a Medium Computer can hold. The other question is if a buggy will fit in the Tali's cargo bays.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Note that the Base Freelancer has 2 remote turrets with 2 size 3 ballistic cannon plus a manned turret with 2 size 2 weapons (Currently M4A Lasers). The MIS is missing a turret, it is most likely the top turret, and very likely an error to have it missing. The gun loadout was always the same as...

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Sorry I wasn't clear. The ship is clearly fitted with missiles. On the wings and ready to fire on the top mounts. The lore has the explosion in the reloads. So filling the cargo hold with explosive ordinance is the reason for the mishaps, not having missile mounts. And I have looked at the...
