They're drawing from the bombers of WWII. After that there were no turrets because they proved so ineffective. Same decision George Lukas made for the Millenium Falcon. The benefit of manned over remote is manned don't go down when the computer goes down, but the target acquisition...

They're obviously planning to go the gunship role or why add a turret? Hope they don't take the marine seats out.

No one seems to have been interested by the numbers and kinds of guns on the Jav. Doesn't look like the ships page description at all. What are those humungous turrets all about? Quad S9 guns?

I think one nerf to expect is it will require so much power to fire all those weapons that it always runs hot and easy to spot. I doubt there will be a way to stealth it.

The bottom bulk may be the result of the new design dynamics that require space inside for things like bulkheads and walls. The rear stabilizers sweep up instead of down to keep them out of the fire arc of the rear turret they added.

If you’re looking to accomplish tasks quickly then stealth can be useful so you’re interupted less often. For fast in atmo, fast in quantum, long range and stealth your only choicr is the Sentinel. And it has beds as bonus.

The F8s were all sitting on a pad with their cockpits open. Boredgamer took some vid of that and it immediately suggested to me anyine could have offed a pilot and taken a ship. I think it will fit in the Polaris bay.

We don’t know how much improvement will be possible by swapping out engines. If the 600i was designed for econominal touring and the thrusters can be replaced with something that will make it rotate 20*/s faster, that ship could become extremely useful. The explorer already has a lot going for...

I think the Idris has a shop where you can regularly repair all ship’s components. If that’s so you need a dedicated engineering team so you can iverclock virtually everything. Still, I’m holding out for an M model. The Outsiders are thoughtfully tending mine at present, and expecting me to...

I think you need to ask yourself two questions before any of the answers will be meaningful. First, is this for solo or group play? Second, does it need to be good at anything other than bombing? The most utilitarian of all the bombers is certainly the Sentinel with the Harbinger module...

It will take some obscure reasoning to not make a slot for the quantum snare and dampener in a Polaris, Idris, etc.

How much more do you make for a live capture than a simpler kill? Seems kike it would need to be a lot to justify the time and expense of live capture. I think if you're not looking to bring them back alive, the Vanguards are all better hunters, especially the Sentinel.

I agree, I don't know where this leaves the Mantis, and I think they'll want $195 for it. Its a shame it is not a bit faster, or it would be worth adding to a vanguard fleet just for the quantum interdiction. I still wish they'd given the Cutty more gun and less missiles.

I'm looking forward to commands like "load the hangar" when I get home from work, "Combat mode" to turn everything in a ship on, "stealth mode" to turn off guns, shields, a reactor and a cooler, and "pulse cool" to turn on the secondary cooler for a predetermined period of a few seconds then...

Cross posting from Facebook. I can’t actually read this since I’m on my ohone, but may deserve a sticky: Hey folks, a few people up to now asked for some help with Voice Attack, in terms of having a nice profile already set up. Of course, I always stress on the benefits of doing these things...

Would like to see it in black and yellow, instead of yellow and black. Too much yellow. Looks like a bad snowcone.

May 22nd – May 23rd: Tumbril/RSI/Origin 325a: Origin’s sleek signature fighter, the 325a makes a great companion for finding your mark with style and sophistication. Aurora LN: Designed for dangerous combat situations, the Aurora LN comes with bigger shields and larger weapons that pack a...

I agree with this, but I think I failed to communicate what I was thinking here. I'm not talking about PvE as opposed to PvP. I'm talking about NPC escorts that allow the player to extend his presence against both AI and other players. The entire notion of an NPC escort pilot and prefigured...

Incidentaly, the HH looks disturbingly like the Scimitar, which was a very close runner-up for the starship contest the Redeemer won. Many folks think the Scimitar should have won, and in a sense it did when they made the HH, though the Scimitar was a much better design than the stupid hollow...
