    "Stealth is back"

    Oh, by all means, chase the meta. But do it with aUEC, not real cash.

    "Stealth is back"

    https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/15014-Q-A-Aegis-Sabre There are other places where ships are ordered by stealth, and the Ghost always ends up last. :)

    "Stealth is back"

    Well the Hornet Ghost is stealthier than my Sabre and my Eclipse, so that's not right,.

    F8c Gold Tickets back in the 'Verse again

    After flying the rental around a bit, I'm not overly impressed. For a carrier bird, I prefer my Hawk, my Sabre and even the loaner Super Hornet in my hangar.

    F8c Gold Tickets back in the 'Verse again

    Kinda silly that you can't CCU to it either. Nobody has said it is a limited hull vessel.

    Let's Talk Suit Thrusters

    I have a nice size Ork army too, though point wise it's probably 25% of the size of my Marine army. :) Assault Marines and Storm Boyz use the ability to close the distance and get into hand to hand range. The Mobile Infantry use the ability to limit exposure to return fire while advancing on...

    Let's Talk Suit Thrusters

    Yes I have all three of the Dawn of War 2 and lots of the DLC. :) I also have way too much money in 40K miniatures, to include a reinforced company of Dark Angles.

    Let's Talk Suit Thrusters

    Average Infantryman, with light gear, you're looking at around 100 KG or more, at least in the US. The biggest issue you run into is reaction mass. The second is power. From a real world perspective it isn't really a practical consideration with anything we know about. Now in Star Citizen...

    Let's Talk Suit Thrusters

    Being able to use a suit as a braking mechanism would depend on the design of your suit thrusters. In space thrusters don't need much to push a person around. For what you're looking for, it sounds like Heinlein's Starship Troopers Marauder power armor. The standard issue for all members of...

    To The Death

    Not to the death. To the pain! Sorry, I couldn't resist. View: https://youtu.be/wUJccK4lV74?si=-HrFn60CW-bgZh0T

    HH turret

    IIRC that was based on this.

    Base Building

    This is Test Squadron. Our Auroras will blot out the sun! Obviously our home base is the entirety of the known universe.

    Base Building

    I, personally, see no reason to spend time and resources building a base in a space game where travel time is a serious consideration. It feels more like a resource sink. What might seem like a good location today, might not be one tomorrow. Until we know how interstellar travel time is going to...

    Let's talk C1

    If possible go in through the roof, and work your way down. That way you aren't cornering a desperate enemy. Most structures you can go through the roof with nothing more destructive than an Entrenching tool. (That is a folding sharpened shovel, so you don't have to look it up.) Also going up...

    Let's talk C1

    It was my pleasure. Don't breach a door, make a door. :) If you must breach a door, use a tamped charge and send the door, in fragments, in first. then follow the door with a couple of cooked off grenades. Also docking anything bigger than a shuttle is likely a bad idea. What if a member of...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    It's not even that it used to be a great fighter, though it did. It still is quite good. It just isn't needed, long term, for bounty hunting. If I need a carrier fighter, I have the Hawk. If I need a fighter that doesn't need to take up a carrier pad, I have the Vanguard, and to a lesser extent...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    I can always change my mind and add one later. :) Even in game with UEC. :)

    It could be. Just remember "Doors and Corners, you go into a room to fast and the room eats you." - Miller, The Expanse.
