Only the spinal mount guns have a longer range than the Strife Drivers. The S8 guns on the Perseus are 5km. All other weapons are about 2-3km. The Strife are 5km. The big difference to leverage between the S8 Perseus cannons and the Strife is the Perseus cannons have a velocity below 1km/s, and...

So update on the turret HP, it appears there is a standard where remote turrets at 2,000HP and manned turrets are 15,000HP. The S10 spinal mount guns on the Idris are 727k HP. No telling what the Vanduul S10 guns are.

Yes well, if they’re gonna run away there’s no helping it, but at least in the case of the Vanduul, that’s probably not gonna happen. NPCs seldom run. I think the biggest problem here is attacking a pair of Void bombers, you have to bring the TAC in range of 6 S10 guns. According to CIG...

Yes, that’s a serious problem in many roles, but in attacking a cap ship, not so much. What I am looking for is a system for attacking Vanduul in the Sons of Orion storyline. I don’t think the Vanduul are going to run. I think they’re going to fight to the last.

So, continuing the investigation, I asked whether the TAC isn’t a better ship than the MAX in almost every way, and indeed it is. However, it does not have S2 reactors. It has a single S3 reactor. I don’t know how long this has been buggy, but there is so little difference between S2 and S3...

Oh, I forgot to mention; try flying with your retros off. This reduces signature and gives you more range, but it takes a little practice. Turn them on for parking.

Just for quick comparisons, it looks like the Lib can fit 3 wings of Arrows, so half the load of Wolves.

A couple quick notes on the 315P as it is an unusual ship. You can remove the chin turret and place an additional S2 weapon there if you like. Many 315P owners never discover this. Choose FR-66 shields but leave them, your guns and you coolers off unless you intend to fight. Eventually...

CIG wants to force refueling to cross large systems only. This is very unlikely to change. If you’re flying a starter consider a 315P with an Atlas Q drive.

With the advent of armor, the Wolf has been removed from the position of ultimate “deck fighter” for use in attacking capital ships. The guns proprietary on the Wolf and Alpha Wolf have too low an alpha damage to be useful even against the lightly armored heavy fighters like the Sentinel...

If they can get Tim Minear and sneak Joss in as a ghost writer, this could be good.

You probably have the resources to check what I don’t. Ships like the Drake Vulture have a salvage dedicated tractor that can remove and replace turrets. So anyone with access to a Paladin, a Vulture and a couple Centurions should be able to build The Monster, basically doubling the number of S4...

Loaded with all Attritions the monster will put out 17,493 dps. 3 of them put out more damage, have 50% more shields and have 25% more HP than a Perseus, which begs the question whether manning a Perseus is a good idea. In general, when we compare combat performance across different sized...

Thanks for the correction. The guy in the vid was ambiguous and I took what he said wrongly. You must be quite a shot shooting all Attritions. I am always thinking how to kill components without killing the shields first. This new doubling of FR-86 power and humongous refresh is going to...

Anyone else excited about the new stealth armor coming?
