Welcome aboard! Have a beer, and have you heard of our hoard and saver? "Holds up copy of The Great Material Continuum, inscribed with an image of the Blessed Exchequer" (If you don't know about the Ferengi, look it up) 😉

I will sign on! Oh, and if we get a dragonfly stuck while attempting to load it, and it is sticking out of the loading ramp and getting in your way, lemme know. I can blast that joker right outta there! 'Course, the whole ship blows up, but I got that joker outta there!

I am helping! Contributed! (Just cause I cannot justify buying one, does not mean I can't HELP buy one 😁 )

The way I am looking at it is this. These Krakens are going to need crew, lots of crew. To be fully functional, it will be at least 18 people (if not more). Ten just to crew the Kraken, and the other 8+ to man the small and medium ships. I found out last night that a fully crewed Hammerhead...

$1400 TO $1650? I looked at the price, then I looked at my wallet...it whimpered, a tiny and pathetic sound. Then I looked at my bank account, it laughed and dared me to go for it...go ahead...just go for it. I know my bank account hates me and is even now plotting it's escape. Seems I shall...

Oh, hey. Seems you misplaced your pirate video. I mean this thing was MADE for Test!

Seven...better than snake eyes I suppose. Winner!

LOL bumped me to wave 7 also....Ooooh, why you! Begins Oct 21st.

It started today for me...hmmmm...

Yeah, 1.5m is a good bit when one says that the Cutlass was a tight fit. But, as the Idris is not finished yet, we cannot say for certain what the hangar dimensions will be. Actually, the Valkyrie is 9.5m and the Cutlass is 10m height. So, it is a bit shorter.

True, which is why I can see it having a QD and JD. The Hoplite is more of a modification of a long range heavy fighter to accomodate the carrying of troops and thus was given the title "Dropship", though it is a "kinda, sorta, in a way" dropship.

Well, they did resize the Idris, up to 240m in length. They stated the reason was to make the hangar larger and were able to put a Cutlass in the hangar bay, though it was a tight fit. It was also stated that it will fit 3 Hornet sized vessels. The Cutlass is only a meter and a half narrower...

I can agree on your point concerning the QD, that makes sense. I am also down with it being able to carry cargo or vehicles intercheangebly, if the same would be true for cargo vessels. It is hard to rationalize that you can carry either on the vehicle grav plates of a Valkyrie, but not so on...

I was contemplating this while reading some posts on Spectrum about how the Valkyrie should have a cargo capacity. Dropships are normally deployed from a mother vessel or forward base, do they really need to have QD and JD? From what I have been able to find, the Kraken and Javelin can carry...

Naw, it keeps you awake, classical puts you to sleep...

Drat, I don't get off work till 6pm Pacific. Bust a few rock for me though!

S'okay, I got a full load of Laranite, was headed to Port O and it lagged out, thought I was going to crash, but didn't. Landed on the pad, went in and...no laranite. Not a single SCU. Well, crap.

Thought I would do a short video on asteroid mining. Something I have noticed is that when you ping with your scanner, it does not always show a box where the ore is, it just pops up with the range. From what I have seen, you must be 10km or closer to pick up a mineable asteroid. First time...

You got it boss! Just let me clean out my beer money stash and.....Holy leaping lizards! What am I thinking?!? Ummm...might have to list that as a qualified "maybe".
