    Drake Cutlass Steel?

    If when CIG re-enables stealth, the Sentinel frame gets its old signatures back, then a Sentinel frame with the Hoppy module would grant great speed and stealth to dropships. However, I have no reasons to suspect CIG will fix that part of the game. CIG has deliberately made stealth useless. I...

    Where is the Idris?

    Great answers. I'm glad i asked.

    Where is the Idris?

    Given its prominence in SQ42, does anyone else think it odd the ship is not done yet? If it takes years to do a single cap ship, how can we expect they'll ever build a Javelin, let alone all the Vanduul cap ships? What was it that was incomplete about the Idris that it was not released a few...

    Drake Cutlass Steel?

    Half the wars on the planet right now are with ununiformed forces that do not abide by international conventions of war. These are the types that attack hospitals and citizens and call it "freedom fighting" when in fact freedom fighters only attack military forces. This is a game of...

    Drake Cutlass Steel?

    The Cutty is 5 m/s slower than the Vanguard in SCM, and over 100 m/s faster than the Vangaurd in afterburner. They have the same range. I just feel my beloved Vanguard has been stepped on again.

    Death of a Bebop

    It was pretty genre bending. The noir aspects were crucial to what Bebop was. I think had they done a few things better than they did they might have gotten a better result. I hate to point to a single issue, and I don't want to be misunderstood as misogynistic here, but consider (with...

    Fleet Dynamics

    Erkul lists 3 S6 guns with good ammo counts. The only S5 or S6 gun with decent ammo speed is the Drauger (Scandinavian for Zombie?) gattling that has almost 2 minutes of ammo. I can't think of what ship that is on. Could be yet to be released. It's noteworthy that this S6 gattling does the...

    Who would win? Dogfights you’d like to watch

    Raven V Redeemer. now with the Redeemer ammo speed nerf, it will be more vulnerable.

    Just some random cooking

    Depends upon the meet. Cooking in water can make tough cuts more tender--like pot roast, but it also dries out the meat. Very counter-intuitive but think about how dry pot roast tastes. It's because the water carries all the fats off. So basically cooking meat in water is for bad, tough cuts...

    Fleet Dynamics

    Yeah, I dropped a decimal. I recall when 3.14 dropped that this was the case but when the Redeemer came out I presumed I had made a math error back then. The Redeemer ballistic gattling has 2,600 ammo or some such.Odd CIG made an exception for that one weapon and left everything else nerfed...

    Zero Gee Combat

    No. I did not know that. I send new players to the TEST forums almost every day, and post in General daily, and somehow, I did not know there was this weekly event. Where do you advertise it?

    Zero Gee Combat

    This is a good, not a great vid. The whole time I was thinking "why not use the tractor on the multi-tool to throw that Big Bennies vending machine down the hall or at least advance behind it as a shield?" I was gratified to have them note use of the tractor will be in the next vid. Also, no...

    Fleet Dynamics

    This will change completely with release of the Polaris, Idris and Javelin. It is a very temporary situation. Richard is probably right that CIG will eventually remove the ability to park atop hangar doors. However, for now we have what we have and we have no Polaris, Idris nor Javelin. They...

    Fleet Dynamics

    You're scaring me. My intel says overclocked Revenants have a 900 rpm rate of fire and 240 rounds is 2 minutes 40 seconds, or 160 seconds fire time. If that's true it is more than enough for any fleet engagement like we're considering. Did I make an ooops here? I hate when that happens.

    Fleet Dynamics

    I think a Carrack pilot would try to chase down the Ares individually, and since it is much faster than the Ares it could be successful. Failing this, rolling the ship gets you a new set of shields, so the Carrack is harder to crack than seems. If it has ballistics, the shields will regen the...

    Fleet Dynamics

    Yes, the whole Ballista notion came to be when the Skunk team noted the Carrack hangar doors lock down ships parked on top of them. The feature could allow Ecplise to be brought into battle as well, but since they fire from below they can't fire when parked.
