    One planetary system. My bad, I wasn't clear.

    Get off my LAWN

    I am reminded of a little town in California where they passed a law banning ice cream cones, because "they promoted litter." Then a certain Hollyweird movie star got himself elected mayor and the second thing he did was have the Ice Cream ban repealed. They replaced it by putting signs on the...

    Isn't that what Starfarers are for?

    Operation Beach Resort

    We should just take over "The Great Centauri Republic."

    Sandy beaches?

    Double post sorry.

    Sandy beaches?

    Unofortunately I was thinking of some nose art like Molokai Cargo but Cassel Cargo just doesn't feel right for nose art on my Freelancer. (Anyone get the reference? LOL.)

    Sandy beaches?

    I said "beach" not the other b word. (Not that she is or isn't, I have never met her. :) )

    Sandy beaches?

    There we go. Everything I have seen so far looks barren, and/or polluted.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    3.0 is not just a single system, it is a single planet. The rest of the Stanton system is to follow, before we ever get to leave the system.

    Sandy beaches?

    Have there been any planets in the lore, yet, with nice pristine Sandy beaches? I remember terraforming disasters, planet sized cities, industrial waste and smog, but no nice places to visit.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Pirates are not the only bounties. "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 you, find who or what you’re looking for, and bring it back to you in the condition requested...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    The same rationale that makes Lasers have muzzle velocities other than 3x10^8 meters per second or maximum velocity on a starship, or combat velocities that are slower than an F-15.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I expect to take most bounties on the ground. If they are on a ship, then EMP warheads on size 3 or 4 missiles would likely be the best choice. Though mounting an EMP warhead on a size 9 Torpedo might prove interesting.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    I wasn't talking about logging off. I was talking about long flights, living on a ship. The same issues that you incur from riding in a single seat fighter would apply to the troops in a dropship.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Unsecure bikes make bad things happen when you go quantum or jump, according to things said.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Is hasn't gotten that far yet. The lack of proper facilities in Drop Ships for troops. to include the Cutlass, implies, but does not prove, they are designed for short term use, at least for those troops carried in the drop seats. (Though the Cutlass, Redeemer, and Retaliator with Dropship...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Where did you see that? I guess technically it is active now, since you get paid a bounty for taking out the "Public Enemy."

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    Passengers in the Phoenix have a stateroom. Well a suite is more accurate.

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    6 folding seats based on the game play videos from Gamescon and a bug smashers video or two. Apparently Dropship capacity does not count toward ship crew capacity, though I am not sure how that works for Life Support, it does imply it is not a long term solution for traveling. (The Hoplite even...

    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    By the same token the Stasis pods could fit in the forward cargo hold of the Lancer and still have room for two Nox in the rear. And the Lancer has the max crew size to run the Lancer and two Nox, where the Cutlass Blue is likely to have to offload half its cells to carry one Nox or Dragonfly...
