    Have you considered an Ares? Single seat heavy fighter without the range limitations of the fighters not named Vanguard or Ares. I am both an Eclipse and a Vanguard fan. The Eclipse has a very limited mission profile. It does one thing and one thing only. I have an idea other than the one I am...

    Invictus Launch Week 2951 Megathread

    This sale, I am cutting my crew requirements, with one exception. I figure if I am going to spend time recruiting a crew, go big. The loaner is the Bomber plus a Gladiator. Once the modules are in game, then you have to do something about it. But you should be sble to buy them in game.

    If you take the missile rack off the Aurora I believe the Aurora fits in the Polaris Torpedo launcher.

    Unless you have as Leviathian or a Vorlon ship, ships sre supposed to be hard.

    Those two are cheap, relatively. You could get the Perseus and a CCU to the Polaris. Or get the Persesus and borrow my Polaris. But if you want to throw Aurora size torps st s target just get the Polaris. I don't see much use for mines in space.

    Use the farce Luke! Lonestar is the better choice, then you can use the Schwartz.

    Invictus Launch Week 2951 - Hercules Starlifter Thread

    The Hercules was sold with 2 medium quantum fuel tanks (confirmed in the Q&A as relatively short ranged). That should make it 2/3rds (roughly) quantum fuel range compared to a typical large fuel tank. It launched with 4 times the fuel range of ships with a large fuel tank and twice the range of...

    Invictus Launch Week 2951 - Hercules Starlifter Thread

    The Herc C2 is the second most efficient hauler from a crew perspective, and a more protected choice than the Hull B. The fuel that it released with can't be right though. :)

    I did specify the Hornets don't look like X-Wings, though the cockpit interior is, IIRC, X-Wing like. The original concept even had the pop out "targeting computer."

    I've done a canyon run in a Hornet, it felt a little sluggish. This thing is supposed to be more sluggish.

    RSI Scorpius - New heavy fighter!

    Well the Q&A put it about where I thought it would. For $220 find a gunner or get two Hornets for $220 and Find a wingman. You get better agility, better speed, more firepower, and more survivability, but it doesn't look like an X-Wing.

    That depends on what your use case is. Do you want to haul cargo or fight?

    A limited ship isn't supposed to have CCU available. Last years Invictus was the only one, that I am aware of, where there was no CCU, though the CCU at last years IAE was limited. Those were the only two sales where the Polaris was limited.

    RSI Scorpius - New heavy fighter!

    The Hornet series is likely more maneuverable and at least as durable. Now here comes the fun part. The turret in the Scorpius has been hinted that it requires a gunner. It certainly requires a gunner to properly use the turret to its full capability. If that is true the Hornet also has more...
