Fighter--Sentinel Daily--Polaris Profession--Razor EX If knowledge is power, and people are willing to pay for it, the Razor rules.

Given this is less than ideal for dogfighting, I think I'd choose a missile platform for the kinds of attacks this is intended for. I haven't looked at the numbers, but an Andromeda can do a lot of missile damage without being exposed to cap ship return fire. Too, I think a player could do...

Yes, The Sons of Orion is planned as a central feature to the PU, and revolves around a group of survivors of the Vanduul annexation of Orion. It will involve a series of missions that grow more and more complex and difficult, that primarily involve fighting/thwarting/killing the Vanduul in...

My guess is that vtaking the player out of the loop required for an interdiction would make it too powerful. Right now the dynamic as planned requires at least one player in the right place at the right time, which definitely limits the use of interdiction. Pull out the player(s) and that...

I'm not the mining type, but I have to say I think the Mole is f&cking amazing! It is just so cool that SC delivers so much richness and variety here!

I think a Nautilus wing of 3-4 ships would be a blast in Vanduul space. They can't blow up their big ships if their computers are down. Drop a Harvester jumping out of Orion into a field filled with Suckerpunch mines, and suddenly all those Naut crews have huge cash value. Wanna guess what a...

Still, even an S6 gun in a gimble on any dogfighter, is a true game-changer. We have to wait and see what the rotation, slip and lateral acceleration stats are on the Ares. I doubt whether they'll give us a gimble, but even without, the Ares is a game-changer. If it has the range of the...

The Idris has 6 Medium computers. I don't know what that means for pulsing. Lets find out!

My first choice would certainly be some sort of EMP. If the Raven has a burst radius sufficient to knock out the computer, then have at. Maybe take it into the Idris hangar. I don't think I'd waste large numbers of fighters until I had exhausted the possible EMP options. I certainly would not...

I still don't see anything that says if this handles like a Arrow, or an Eclipse, and it makes ALL the difference.

I don't think we know enough to make a call on this one. For that gun to be useful, the rotation rate has to be very high like on a dogfighter. For it to dogfight it can't skid through turns like a Vanguard and for it to be survivable, it has to have good straif rates. We don't know about any...

There are always costs. Anyone spends any time serving the org, that is a cost. Generally, when you need a service of some sort, you get what you pay for, which is why volunteer work generally sucks. I am looking forward to TEST actually having some nominal fee so that Toys can be paid for...

Agreed, and note too, this is not a high volume ship. They have to justify all the time it takes to build this, and that's very hard to do given such a small number of sales for this. What they need to do is look for ways to build this faster and cheaper, rather than ways to make it devilishly...

Anyone else see the vid of the Prowler's "Phalanx" shields have to be directed, but block 100% energy and ballistic weapons? Is due in 3.8.

What does the Privateer have in place of all the cargo?

I'm still hoping the X1 Force will fit. Since it has much less height than the Nox fore and aft, it might not get stuck. It's a weird shape and hard to see, but it looks to me the X1 will fit with the tail or nose on the ramp and the door open. In fact, it looks like two of them may fit side...

I don't understand enough what the benefits are to the bounty hunter for a live capture. Need to know. Looks to me like much larger bounties, but who knows? Otherwise, sounds frigging awesome!

I have yet to find a real analysis of the systems in game that look at how to optimize the Sentinel (my favorite ship too), but I will tell you what it appears is the case from my time on Hardpoint, and you can investigate further. I've been hoping peeps will do this since the Sentinel came...

There are several changes to the Sentinel that should improve the stealth. First of all, if you place a small signature reactor as primary and a large, powerful reactor as secondary, and leave your shields and secondary off during stealth, you'll find you can get much closer before you're...
