    Ships expected at Invictus Launch Week...sorry, DefenseCon

    As noted, a fully crewed Idris would probably eat it for lunch...but solo vs solo? This would probably win. as for swapping the gun, I actually expect that. It could be balanced with ammunition limitations, but them selling K kits to swap weapons is completely in-line with what CIG has done...

    Ships expected at Invictus Launch Week...sorry, DefenseCon

    The Tiburon is an offensive punch, but will probably need escorts to make it work effectively (aka, prevent it from being killed easily by a gladius). With initial reports putting the crew size at 2 (not sure I believe that, 4-6 looks to be the minimum to me), This is probably designed to be...

    No CitizenCon this year (2026)

    I know you are messing with us... because it's going to be 2040 at the very earliest

    Origin fighter on the way?

    Looking at the inside star citizen video, it might have 4xS4 weapons... That would qualify it as a heavy fighter...

    No CitizenCon this year (2026)

    Just announced on Inside Star Citizen from 5/7/2026, there will not be a CitizenCon event this year. Not in person, not online. This is because they want to keep their eyes on the prize, which is getting SQ42 out the door. CitizenCon takes a ton of time away from developers and key...

    Ships expected at Invictus Launch Week...sorry, DefenseCon

    All, I am going to try and get pictures and names of the new ships that are expected to show up at DefenseCon this year. To do this, I will list it in three sections. The Brand new ships, the newly flyable, and the speculation. NEW Drake Pitbull Looks like 6 guns and maybe 6 missiles...

    Origin fighter on the way?

    If looks could kill, the ship would be effective. Since it can't, this toothless ship isn't going to be very good...

    Origin fighter on the way?

    2xS3 weapons are not heavy fighter loadouts. I would expect S4 or even S5 weapons for a "heavy fighter"...

    Starlite revealed...and...Is Star Citizen introducing too many ships?

    All, I present to you...the StarWhale...I mean Starlite Another MISC ship, this looks like it might be a single or two person refueling ship OR, capable of hauling new liquid cargos (assuming they put liquid cargos in) It's interesting and it gives us our first refueling starter ship...oh...

    New Drake Pitbull

    Let's be honest, it's the LTI token for DefenseCon

    First batch have just gone out.

    No worries, and I hope that all that want it have the opportunity to get it.

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    umm, from what I remember of the film and the book, they are actually not that far off from each other. Ender's Game was a book originally. 1985 IIRC. The Ansible, children commanding/piloting the warships and squadrons via faster than light instantaneous communication links, kids killing kids...

    First batch have just gone out.

    Well, we will see if I qualify for one...but I doubt I will make it...

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    You know, this is why glass bottomed tankards were used....to avoid accepting the King's Shilling and forcible conscription. There were other reasons of course, but that's the most famous story... So if someone comes up to you talking about a battlecruiser, don't drink the beer...or at least...

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    CIG is going to sell these to as many people as possible. As for how many show up, that's going to depend on how many people they can fit in an instance, how many it takes to crew one, and of course, "why bring 1 Odin when I can bring 8 Idris frigates and a Javelin destroyer for the same...

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    If it's anything like the Kraken wave, as long as you have submitted a ticket, the more money you have backed with, the higher your "wave" is to buy the ship. Some of those that were in early waves even submitted black applications...

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    One of those? You mean “that one” as there is only a single ship of that class. Now, there are some kingships out there, but those are vandul

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    That would be the SDF-3…I mean, the retribution. That ship is 2,700m long. The Bengal is only 990

    Odin Battlecruiser from Anvil?

    That would be the Bengal.... Honestly, I am surprised the Pegasus has not been sold as a concept.
