Yes, I agree it overheats quickly. Just 3.3s and then it's cooling down for almost 40 seconds. That is however, enough to dump about 25,000 points damage per minute on a target at long range, if all you hit is that target--something like a large cap ship. If you are circling at 5k range for...

If you have a Redeemer and I steal it and give it back to you, and your insurance replaces it; you now have two ships. For stealing ships to be plausible in an environment where insurance replaces them, there needs to be some serious limitation or nerf on that process. Each time a player...

So what did you think? Seems to me the slow speed means it's not much good at medium ranges, but for large, slow targets like cap ships and for blanketing an area at close range, the Mantis might be a winner. With 5k range a SH could waste a Carrack by itself ,or a few SH's could kill an...

Great stuff. IIRC, the The Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy: Vega System describes a group called "The Descendents of Orion" who are paying cash money to those who will fly against the Vaduul. I think they're on Vega 3, and this means they're likley flying against targets in Virgil and Tyber...

Yes, I do. There are entirely too many shadows here and they need to be reaped. People keep sowing shadows with no notion of what sort of crop they'll get. So far as I'm concerned, enough shadow to hide me and my pilfered pirate booty is enough shadow. As for pouring in the drink, so long as...

I'm sorry for not reading the last 26 pages in this thread but as a pirate, I am known for my shifty, lazy, mannerless demeanor and don't intend to pretend to be nice as I drool out the corner of my mouth. Just some thoughts for people who don't mind repeating themselves: --Unless Test wants...

Has anyone flown the Mantis GT's yet?
