    Things we may have missed about the MISC Odyssey

    Are you sure that's really 2 seats in center of the bridge there? I kinda think it's just the one Command chair and a small side table to hold the Captains Beer!

    Post IAE damage assessment survey and survivor trauma recovery peer group

    I thought I was done. . . but then today I realized I had 4 referrals, so went ahead and opened a second account with a $40 Mustang in order to snag myself 2x MPUVs with LTI and that bonus Greycart. . . While I'm on the subject, I also have an old LTI Merlin referral reward that I upgraded to a...

    Questions about how to best play CCU game

    Yes, in line with above, I see zero reason to have an 'actual' Odyssey in your hangar right now. Keep your top-tier ship(s) at ideally BMM or maybe Carrack level (if you want to be using a Carrack rather than C2 loaner in-game right now). Then maintain upgrades (with flexibility) to go from...

    Odyssey

    I view the Endo differently. Might grab my $350 buyback of the base ship one day once it gets closer to release, but not messing with any modules crap until actual release. Regardless, I don't see it as a daily-driver-with-a-hangar like I do these three.

    Odyssey

    Or the $10 BMM to Carrack WB, if you've got some nice low-priced BMM CCUs sitting around that you can leverage. . .

    Odyssey

    Yeah this is pretty much what I've arrived at too, though with the BMM in the mix also. So my future decision that I too am kicking down the road a bit is: Pick two: BMM, Odyssey, Polaris. . .

    Odyssey

    Yeah, this is what is sorta bugging me; I was really hoping for something somehow *different* and not just a 'better' Carrack. I'll probably grab the CCU, but will hold off on applying it; I WANT to be able to stay true to my Carrack love!

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    Yeah but unless something changes drastically, neither of those will fit in your BMM or Polaris hangar! So I still thing you need a little Gladius or Hornet or even a 300er or something like that to carry along for local use in those big ships. And I agree LTI be damned for a little thing...

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    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. . .

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    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...

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    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...

    IAE Day 6 - Origin ships

    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!

    Crusader Industries - Day 5 IAE video

    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...

    400i or redeemer?

    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...

    New Ships IAE

    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!

    Redeemer vs Warden - thoughts?

    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...

    Redeemer vs Warden - thoughts?

    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...

    Second Account for "Bad guy"?

    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...

    Opinions: 400i vs DUR

    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...
