    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

    My first and second exes.

    Gatac Syulen first look!

    The issue is we do have people, who buy ships based on the current meta (Or at least claim they bought that ship, which is current meta.). :) And when CIG breaks out the inevitable Nerfhammer 40,000, well you get the idea. :)

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    This definitely came to mind as I was flying it though:

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    To be fair is maneuvers about the same as my Vanguard. First thing I noticed, setting it up for the flight, was the 12 Arrester III and another 8 Size 3 missiles. The damn thing is dangeroous without the gun. While the range the Ares can fly is decidedly long, the Eclipse fills that role in...

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    I flew the Ares Inferno for a bit last night. That beast is fun. And watching that NPC get vaporized as he tried to ram me was a riot. Ammo is a little expensive, but satisfying. The role the Inferno is supposed to fill is already filled by my Eclipse but it was fun to fly. Now I'm tempted. :)

    To that I must agree. 1. Never chase meta, especially in Star Citizen, with real money. 2. Don't buy a ship with real money that you don't have a long term (announced) game loop for. 3. Don't buy a ship you don't like the looks of, because you'll never really like it later.

    Erkul has the 315P as 830 worth of Quantum Fuel.

    It doesn't really. Not even back in the early 90's when I lived about an hour North of there.

    All of that is supposed to get reworked and rebalanced by 4.0. The Cutlass, Freelancer, Spirit and Raft don't really belong on that list since they have size 2 Quantum drives and burn fuel differently, so don't compare. As a comparative point of reference most of the Size 2 ships with Size 1...

    Avenger One: "the F8C Lightning is NOT overpowered"

    To be honest, I actually not all that impressed with the F-8. I prefer my Vanguard, especially if the Vanguard had the speed and acceleration it is implied to have in the lore, marketing material, and original vision.

    Well, there's that too.

    Avenger One: "the F8C Lightning is NOT overpowered"

    The F-8 is OP. However since the F-8A is the brand new front line fighter it is supposed to be OP. Like comparing an F-4 to an F-15.

    Idris-P to Idris-K?

    BTW if you're really after a capital ship, depending on how many dedicated friends you have, unless you really want to run small scale flight ops, you're probably better off with a Polaris, given what we know so far. Size 10 torps are monsters, and you get to fire 4 at a time. Especially since...

    Avenger One: "the F8C Lightning is NOT overpowered"

    He said the most important factor is pilot skill. Would you stop a journeyman carpenter from using a nail gun and force the use of a tack hammer? With equally skilled pilots, Fury vs. LIightning is Egg, meet sledge hammer.
