X Count me in. Anyone here from the old AOL FreeForm Gaming Forum, Red Dragon Inn, Stars End Bar?

This seems to me to dovetail nicely with the thread about kicking Vanduul butt in Virgil space. Partner a Reclaimer crew with a Warlock or Reliant with an EMP generator and one hopes you could pull down big pesos disassembling Vanduul craft of all sorts, even including the smaller cap ships...

Yes, Han is the choice of champions, BECAUSE he shot first.

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...

IIUC on the chart I posted the other day, the S3 sized GATS Ballistic Gatling "Mantis GT-220" has by far the highest DPS of any weapon. Trouble is it creates so much heat it is done shooting in 3.3 seconds. So it needs to be used like the GAU-8 Avenger cannon in the nose of the Warthog--just...
