    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    My wife and I intend to play together. Her fleet is similar, other than the Eclipse, up to, and including the MSR. Always fly with a wingman. if I'm understanding your question correctly, For the multictrew ships the intent is to fly with crew, either us together or with additional players as...

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    I think, like Garman Humble, we're going to wind up taking most bounties on the ground, long term.

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    I still don't see much utility in a snare. Allowing a person to set waypoints, very prevalent in current navigation software, would render them pretty useless.

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    The Ares has a bigger gun and a large haul of size 3 missiles, plus can mount a couple of torps. The choice would depend on your target selection, what else you've got, your available crew, and aesthetics. I've had a Freelancer a couple of times, and hate both the view from the cockpit and...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    The Hornet, right now, is a hell of a ship. It may have to do with a bug, or it could be that it is the intended differentiator for medium fighters. The straight line acceleration is unreal.

    Thanks guys. What I'm seeing so far is not to worry about replacing the Sabre.

    I was thinking Hornets instead of Sabres but, yes, a medium fighter might not really be needed. Thanks.

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    Yes, Bounty Hunting is the primary purpose. Thanks. The Vanguard has a Sentinel BUK, so it, the Hawk and the MR have EMP covered. The Blue and MR both have the Quantum Dampners so that seems covered. The Antares doesn't maneuver as well as a medium fighter, doesn't have more firepower than a...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    If I can't land I can't hit the bar inside. :) If I need to sneak past something, I have the Eclipse, but neither the Eclipse nor the Sabre have a way to haul a prisoner. Put a prisoner in the cargo hold of a Hornet Ghost, or build a Ghost version of the Super Hornet might work though.

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    Hey guys, Long term hangar question. My current fleet is below. I have a Sabre to Zeus MkII MR CCU waiting to see if the MR is something I might actually need for bounty hunting, once bounty hunting is more than just fly out and shoot someone. :) Right now the Sabre only gets used when I...

    Post IAE 2953 fleet changes

    Well I did open my wallet for the first time since they blamed us for their inability to meet their own self imposed deadlines. They got $20 from me because they finally finished something and declared it done. The Lightning doesn't impress me. On paper I prefer my Vanguard. :) And I'm not...

    looks like i now own a Polaris

    The "crew it" question is why I melted mine in my big fleet reorganization a while back. It is now a Liberator and the Retaliator that grew into a Polaris is back to a Retaliator and my only ship with a "max crew" bigger than 3.

    Post IAE 2953 fleet changes

    This thread is much quieter this year than most previous years. If this thread is any indication, it looks like CIG's IAE this year wasn't as money producing as previous years.

    Post IAE 2953 fleet changes

    Not significant. I melted my Cutlass Blue to Zeus II MR CCU, bought a Hornet Wildfire to Zeus II MR CCU and a Sabre to Hornet Wildfire CCU. Total spent $5. I decided I rather have the option of both the Blue and the MR. Nothing applied, so no changes to the fleet. The plan is to add the MR...

    B-21 - US New AI Bomber

    The B-21 is white, like my Eclipse. Though the Eclipse, is a closer equivalent is the F-117 than the B-2 or B-21. Short ranged tactical.

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    The Engine issues that Doolittle complained about were due to inexperience. With the right settings, the engines were just fine. However those settings were finicky, and required following multiple steps, in the right order, to switch from cruising mode to combat mode. Getting it wrong caused...

    The specs for NGAD include the requirement to reach Mach 10.
