    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    They are the same turrets on the base Freelancer. Port and Starboard.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    The specs on the MIS page are wrong and his interpretation is even more wrong. The rear turret is missing from the sheet, and the guns he is saying were size 5 are the two unmanned turrets with 2 size 3 guns each are the same guns the rest of the series has. It is not quad size 3 on the back.

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    Filled with missiles. :) It was clearly designed to be fitted with them. LOL. A magazine hit is very likely to be catastrophic, but the same can be said for most ships with internal ordinance. :)

    Cutlass Blue or Freelancer MIS?

    For light hauling the Black is better than the Blue. The MIS may or may not still have the ability to remove the missile racks, making its hauling capability anemic, if it can't. Further in the comparison remember that missiles are likely to prove expensive. Now the Freelancer does have the...

    Whats your favorite ship change?

    Favorite Ship change? The Freelancer gets a second shield and second computer. Add in the ability to add a blade to a computer to run a turret, and the Lancer got more survivable. Least favorite ship changes The Freelancer MIS doesn't list the ability to remove the missile racks for cargo...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I like it. More than I am willing to spend, and a bigger team that is likely practical, but I like it.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    That was before the ability to land a bike in a ship was in the code. So yes, tandem is speculation, but the camera angles showed space for 2.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I already said that. :slight_smile: I think it was in my first post. :slight_smile: It was: For a Bounty Hunter, the Freelancer, the Cutlass, and possibly the Redeemer, all fill the same role. Medium size ship with some cargo capacity, should have the ability to carry prisoners and a bike...

    3.0 ptu for Christmas?

    They are still adding features. Feature creep gone wild. We will be lucky to see PTU beyond Avocado before the end of February, and actual release before Summer the way they are going.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I don't believe the landing areas will change based on the presence, or lack thereof, of the cells.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    No I am basing it on the location of the landing areas for the bikes. They each take up about half the hold.

    Immersion breaking things that games tend to do. :)

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Reclamation Agents, we am not here for you! :) You are presuming honor among thieves and an inability to disguise yourself. The only issue is that, you are unlikely to spend much time out of circulation, once a bounty has been collected on you.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    The reason you pay the guys to start the fight and escape with your target in the confusion. LOL.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    They are both likely to be targeted, but both are also well defended for their cargo capacity. Making both the Freelancer and the Cutlass high risk low reward for Pirates, especially when compared to a Hull A or B, or even a Taurus. The cargo difference between the Lancer and the Black appears...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I was giving this some more thought. If you were going to take Captain Jack Sparrow in for a bounty, what would really be the best way to do it? Would it be trying to run down the Black Pearl, disabling it, boarding it and capturing Jack (It has been tried in several of the movies.) be your...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Given where the bikes are parked in a Cutlass, you will have to lose half the cells to carry a bike. Parking a Nox in a Cutlass Black was shown in one of the Bug Smasher (I am pretty sure, though it could have been in an ATV) episodes, but I don't remember which one. Each bike takes up half the...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Yes, though things like comparing the Avenger Titan to the Stalker should point us in the correct direction. The specs on the Lancer, the Connie, the Black are all based on empty as well. They haven't gotten the difference between full and empty in the game yet, though they have said carrying a...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    If the contract is to catch the Pirate in his ship the best combination is likely a pair of Sabres and a Cutlass Red. The Sabres sneak up on the target, and blow it out of the sky. The Cutlass red sweeps in grabs him, resuscitates him and sedates him. Ready for delivery to a stasis pod or...

    That isn't really bounty hunting that is just being a Mercenary.
