Yeah, im not necessarly looking for the ultimate fighter, but more in the line of a single ship than can do well enough in a multitude of escort situations.

What about the Blue? I suspect it can take a beating. Or a Terrapin to detect a potential attack? Or even the combat version of other medium ships like the MIS or Phoenix?

Is it really? Im reading lots of conflicting opinions about this. The Vanguard is tanky yes, and might give the escortee enough time to escape a medium/large attacker. But what about a small pirate group? They will most likely fly circles around a Vanguard, right?

I have spent alot of time lately trying to figure out what i really want to do in game and what sort of ships to get to support this. At the moment im trying to find a good allround escort ship. I also have no idea how many, or what kind of ships we will be running together in the verse. My best...

Much wisdom has been spilled in this thread, and i shall soak it up as a sponge! Been watching loads of videos and read allot of stuff about the information currently available for professions and the like, and I'm leaning more and more towards focusing my fleet on Medic/SAR and Repairs, while...

In the consept art, all but the Hoplite has beds. Then again, we have this: Q: What would be the benefit of keeping the Warden whose interior module is essentially only a fancy escape pod over switching to the torp bay or electronic warfare module? A: The Warden escape pod is the only one with...

Took your advice and tested the limitations on my ships. They all seem to explode when running full speed into a space station! :( Need better ships!

Well, in my defence, i always fly as if im silly drunk :p

Yes i have big hopes for the Blue. But mostly if, and thats a big if, you can remove the cells. If not im not so sure i will keep it over a Red or Black. Then again, if the cells become some sort of stasis pods then maybe you can throw wounded people in them and they stop bleeding untill you get...

Good times! I loved those games, and cant remember having much issue flying back then. Think its more the overwhelming number of keybindings and remembering where it all is located thats the issue. But i guess you are right, just need to get used to it :) Or maybe i should just stop playing sober!

After several days of testing what i think is the best setup i can come up with atm, i have finaly reached a conclusion: I truly suck at piloting!! Seem like the only logical next step is to hire a NPC to Captain my fleet, and hire myself out as crew :p

Thanks for the feedback. Think i will get rid of the Orion in hope of a medium miner, CCU the warden to a Harbinger when possible for escort/torpedo duty. Get rid of the BUK's, Turn the Blue into a S&R, And keep the Phoenix as a yard ornament.

I tend to enjoy Tanking,healing and support roles in other games, so in SC im leaning towars a Combat medic S&R type of job, but i want the option to do a wider range of missions when playing solo. And also have a more or less self sustained fleet, as in Reclaimer for scrap and parts, and the...

As i don't plan on using much more money on ships for this game, i have been trying to figure out wich one of my ships are in danger of beeing melted if another must have ship shows up. So i made a short list of ships that im unsure about. Would love some input from you guys on what you think...

Are you asking for pilots, or for volunteers for cheep, manned torpedoes? :D

I do own the ship, but atm i have no other plans for it than to use it as a cargo hauler. Im looking forward to more info about it, so my plans for it will most likely change in the future :)

Yes im trying a dual Joystick setup at the moment. Might work fine if i can teach my stubborn brain how to use the right hand! But how about when you are a crew or on foot? Seems to be a million keybinds to rebind if i want to center them around the arrow keys.

At the moment im testing a few different setups to try to figure out what works best for me both in space and on foot. But im strugling a bit to find that setup/keybinding that "feels" optimal. Any other Lefty out there that can share their super-perfect-ultimate layout so that i can try it out?

Well my problem is slightly different, as i dont change ships, but buy new ones that i cant afford :p

Thanks for all the warm welcomes...err..welcomings..welcomingings! There we go!
