Yeah, this is still a pretty compelling reason for sure. . . as I said I'm still undecided. Trying to find a way to make this a 'Why not Both?'TM situation, but afraid of how much additional wallet-dipping that will entail. . .

Actually a very valid question! I USED to really want the Polaris as it seemed to be the 'smallest' ship with a 'real' hangar. I always thought that would make for seriously fun gameplay with 1-2 friends, and also why I started with/keep a Connie around for the snub. But now that the BMM seems...

While it looks *almost* perfect, I can see two glaring omissions: 1.) You need some sort of small fighter or runabout the fill those nice BMM and Polaris hangars. Don't think that Apollo is gonna fit, is it? 2.) Where is your Carrack?!? :D I'm currently on the fence as to whether to go BMM...

I'm with you, I think 325a is a GREAT solo starter ship. Very similar to the almighty Titan, but with that pretty glass room, and I actually think the 325 is nicer to fly! All that said, I completely agree that the 400i's praise is all well deserved!

Gosh I swear I must be missing something. Everyone seems to love the MSR, but I've had that ship since it came out and finally just CCU'd it to a Sentinel. Between the Cutlass and the Connie I just basically never used the thing. The long in/egress and poor solo firepower always made it a...

What you didn't mention is what OTHER ships do you have/plan to have? As much as I like the 400i, I already have a Connie and a Carrack, and didn't feel like the 400i fit in very well, nor did I want it in place of either of those. But if I didn't have 'other' exploration ships, especially at...

I think I'll be a little miffed if it upstages the Carrack as a top-tier exploration ship. . . so instead I'm hoping for something that's more along the lines of a mini-Endo science vessel!

Also of note, and though I agree a price-hike is very much expected, as things stand currently the Redeemer is still actually CHEAPER than all of the Vanguards (excluding the Hoplite)! At $10 less than the Warden, I feel like that must be included in any comparisons, and don't think it's been...

So I JUST flew a borrowed 'Deemer and while I like it, I'll be honest that I liked it less than I was expecting/hoping to. It's REALLY pretty sluggish handling, and just can't turn enough to really keep fighters on target. This is probably OK for balance actually, but it's less solo-friendly...

I like you! :D Fortunately, this type of more welcoming, helpful attitude is something I've really liked in Elite, from Fuel Rats to PvP engagements that only fight to an agreed upon level of damage rather than total destruction, etc. And so far I think the SC community on the whole has been...

I'll admit to NOT being a fan of the Freelancer lineup, and as such would vote for the 400i. My subjective complaints with the DUR are as follows, which you can either agree or disagree with: - Cockpit view is terrible. If I'm out searching the stars, I want to be able to SEE those damn...

Yeah, honestly I'm all for it, but I too think the only thing I'll really miss is my Sentinel! Maybe will just need to pledge for one here at IAE. . .

Oh absolutely, but then again this has been an exciting draw for me all along for SC. Way back in 1999, you could hack Xwing Alliance Multiplayer to allow for one player to fly and one player to be in the turret of the Corellian ships, and although it kinda sucked, I thought that was just the...

Wait a minute. . . But I'm more of a BMW than a Merc guy, so I'm a little confused as to why you'd be worried about ME ending up with your car. . . :D

Naw, I remain steadfastly optimistic for the reasons I cited earlier. They're doing this intentionally but just for the short term so they can FORCE the playbase to focus on what they need us to do for them this patch: co-piloting, missile mode, and power balancing. If they left the Sentinel...

Which is why there are a very few dirtbikes that are two-wheel drive (and can drive the front wheel) but exactly zero road motorcycles that do!

While I too am disappointed in the current nerf, I wouldn't despair TOO much just yet. My guess is this partially over-nerfted intentionally for just this patch as a means of testing the new mechanics (sorta how you used to get interdicted EVERY SINGLE JUMP back when they were first testing...

I am most definitely not wrong, but we're closer in agreement than you might realize, as many of your points are very much valid, though for slightly different reasons: This is 100% correct, but balance (aka weight transfer) is still independent from which wheels are driven. It is instead a...

*SORT OF* This continues to be one of the most prevalent vehicle dynamics myths out there, so it's important to get the real facts straight. 4/AWD does NOT 'improve how a car handles' or 'cornering ability' or anything of that sort. What it DOES do is improve the grip available *WHEN...

In my mind this all boils down to one very important fact that you haven't yet mentioned. . . does the WRX have THREE pedals, or just two? The Merc is only a 2-pedal car, so if it's an apples-to-apples thing then I'd vote for the larger more powerful AMG. BUT even all that extra power and...
