The thing that most bothered me about the 600i was that CIG routinely shows a lack of anticipation toward storage. None of the ships have enough storage for weapons, armor, etc. All that empty space behind the three seats on the 600i bridge is enough for an entire armory, and having an armory...

I think Richard is right to hesitate to guess about the Liberator, but CIG has said quite a bit about it--enough that Boredgamer makes it an open question whether the Lib is actually OP. I doubt it's that. I don't know why CIG has a thing against carriers that can carry medium ships...

I'm sure they designed the misadventure part in. They didn't discover it.

So maybe sell it and replace it with the Ursa? Seems like the choice is really missiles or guns.

The Lib's pads are wider then the Hornet, so at least 25m. The Eclipse is only 20m long, so odds are excellent it will fit crosswise with its wings up. Depends who you're hunting. If you're hunting across Vanduul space, you'll want to launch from the closest, safe, quiet UEE space and that...

Watch the tanks vid above. The frame rates seemed fine to me. Here's another vid of the Carrack in ops, with Katie handing over her ship and crew to a new Captain--her last command of that ship as she moves on. View: https://youtu.be/T7K0Y7SfNQE Interesting point, that the new Captain...

Mil Sim is especially formidable because they use the specialized jargon of real military groups. Specialized jargon and methods develop out of need, and enable super-enhanced communications. You'll note much of what they say to each other is only barely intelligable unless you have that...

What don't you like about the G12?

I like that she's a real student. For an org leader to go train with other orgs takes some humility and is really excellent leadership. I think she singlehandedly brought the Skunks over from ED. There seems to be a lot of them, and combined with the Raccoons and Pathfinders, she has...

I am still pondering daily all the uses for the Liberator. I would certainly want to fly the Eclipse off the Liberator. You're right though, I don't think there is a single light fighter than has the range of the Eclipse. I think instead of teaming it with a fighter that has similar range...

Epic tank battle: View: https://youtu.be/jCRzuG8H8og?list=RDCMUCbcYPE10gBDIYzFyFX2WI7w Given they have the connections to get in these battles, and we certainly have the players and equipment superior to them, maybe we should see what we can do for each other? How did they get that sort of...

I agree completely, and I know there are already some groups who play and train regularly at TEST. I haven't heard tell of any super tight "mil sim" groups. The Skunks, Pathfinders and Raccoons are all interesting groups for the depth of their sim work that we can learn from--hence my posting...

More Katie--the Skunk Works training with another org, the Raccoons, using grav bikes to board ships from the stern of a Carrack. I think this would be done better with the smaller Nox and better still from the X1 force when it comes out. Makes me lament--we still don't know if the Nox will...

I've been watching a lot of Katie of late, just because she does such great narrative over her vids. I stumbled blindly onto her episodes with crews handling larger craft. Without any brutal military precision, her team handles Retalliators, Hammerheads and Carracks to deadly effect, and her...

Rumor is they extended the cargo area in the exploration version, as well as moved some stuff in the hangar so it accommodates larger craft.

My guess is, the only exception to the rule about smaller ships unable to grapple larger ones is the Vanduul Cleaver, since it does not grab with a tractor, but rather tears into the hull of its target in order to load boarders.

Agreed. I wanted to love the 600i but found the poor use of space daunting. Sounds like CIG heard the complaints.

Anyone heard of the rework on the 600i, that now includes a T2 med bed, and tighter use of the space inside?

The volume of space a ship can scan is the product of the scan diameter area times the SCM speed of the ship. The ships are supposed to both have Large scan arrays, so given there are no other differences in scanning, the difference is all in the SCM speed. I would not be surprised if the...
