    What does LTI mean to you?

    I think when people see how important NPCs are and their cost, the desire for LTI will shrink to miniscule. I think when you look at what it will cost to man turrets, etc., ship insurance is not going to figure significantly. Yeah, it's great that anyone can buy a starter package and play...

    Been awhile...ship help :/

    I will be heretical and recommend just one ship for the three stated purposes you note: income, explore, pirate and with a nod to your interest in a missileboat. In the short term, I would snag an Andromeda. Especially if you want a true misslileboat, this is best in game I think? When they...

    Little Terrapin

    There's no sound in space. No one can hear you scream. Bwahaha!

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    Also bear in mind that it can only fit through large jump points, so that little hangar really does need to support some sort of small craft to go where it can't. It may find a jump point, but they're not much good unless oyu know where they lead, so you need something that can go through...

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    IIUC, the definition of "science vessel" is that it scans to find jump points. Pretty sure "science" and "exploration" are intended to be the same thing, unless you're talking about an astronomical observatory like on Endeavor. It appears the poor man's way to go exploring in a serious task...

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    You forgot the Reliant Sen. But really the biggest difference between the sizes is the scan radius. Cap is best. It'll be interesting to see if you can fly a dozen Sen's off the Carrack. That would make an amazing scan task force.

    Yes, it's another help me decide on a ship thread

    If you want to fly solo cargo and already have an Aquila, seems you're set. What sort of weapons do you have on it? Have you taken it out to see if you can manage missions against NPC pirates with it?

    Valkyrie Q&A

    Is the Idris still the largest ship that can land?

    Countdown to $200 million

    I think it already is. Lots of people buy ships on concept and sell them at huge markups once they're no longer available.

    Countdown to $200 million

    I won't celebrate until it tops the charts as most expensive game development. GTAV is still number one at $265M. We need to get out there and help sell Auroras!

    Welcome to the age of expensive pixels...

    I think it's worth keeping in mind that if "winning" involved being effective in whatever kind os scenario you might involve yourself, there are certainly arguments to make that only time in the verse will make you a winner. Someone who plays every day, whether he is grinding or flying his...

    So which R2 did you buy?

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    Gotta wonder what the refresh rate is for the Large and Cap sized shields now.

    I want work as a drunken navigator. I can hear it now: "Hey Ty! What are we doing in Leir? I said "steer us home".

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    Firepower is not good, but when your target is dead it doesn't much matter. There are lots of vids on YouTube. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzytMwuXs1g&t=611s The Raven is also a slimmer target, faster, and more maneuverable than the Hawk and Warlock. I'm sure if you ask around...

    Well the Saber Raven can do that, and probably better than the Warlock! Still no cargo space though.

    Questions, Ideas, a bit of everything.

    Ask the SH owners around, I'm not sure but you may be able to put the Tracker turret in and the Tracker extended range fuel tanks. I'm not sure about the Ghost's Void Armor, but the idea behind the Hornet is just as with the US Navy F-18--true "multi-mission" capability. It should be far...

    I believe you can still pull the turret off of the SH and fit some small cargo? Is that still a thing? Might work better for you than the Cutty if you just need a little space. And welcome to TEST!

    The Hammerhead is a lot tougher now

    If shields are going to work against ballistics, I wonder who will use them? Seems to negate their primary advantage. Ballistics are generally slower to target, have more limited range, overheat faster and run out of ammo, so why would anyone choose them if shields work against them? Have you...
