    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    The Liberator, Herc, Galaxy and Carrack should have lots of space for reloads. Reloading is likely to be a PITA though, especially for the Carrack since the cargo bay isn't connected to the landing bay. Depending on how much of the cargo bay it requires, something as small as the Connie, and...

    Instead of the Fury, they should have made the Carry. (Yes, I just rewatched Free Guy.) View: https://youtu.be/i1TpRV9onfg

    $50 warbond, $55 credit. Slightly overpriced for what it is, but not a bad price for an LTI token.

    True. The point was that if a PC can die, and have heirs, then the player owned NPC treated the same way would make sense.

    You can die, as a PC. An heir?

    Without a Quantum Drive, $50 is about the top end of what it's worth.

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    There are three ships, I've seen one Mantis, once, and one Cutlass Blue, once. Granted the wife and I each own a Blue, but they don't leave the hangar. They have a niche mission and unless something has seriously changed in the past year, nobody flies them.

    Doubtful, especially since it appears that is a very specialized and limited capability. Note I didn't say fly without an escort to deal with a Mantis, Blue or Antares, that can go with you. Just that bombers should approach rapidly unload and leave.

    New tank incoming, Tumbril Storm

    It isn't about good design, it's about the "rule of cool." There is no practical use for these vehicles, that they've shown so far. At best, ground vehicles are for edge cases, and transporting them, especially the larger ones, to the locations for edge cases is impractical.

    I recommend using Quantum drive to close with your target in a bomber and again to escape after unloading. They aren't bomber escorts, in the sense of Retaliator or even A2.

    Oh look, it's smaller, maybe, than a Maus.

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    Kind of begs the question of why build it at all. For stacking them up tight, and getting more capacity, I'm not sure how well it would work, from a practical standpoint. You need clearance for take off, landing and maintenence. Then there is the question of lifesupport on the Carrier. All...

    No quantum drive makes it pretty useless. I mean, sure, in Arena Commander, especially on a race track, cool. But in the PU, even going from orbit to the surface of one of the moons in Stanton is tedious.

    They seem to want to imply a Starfury. I'm not seeing a need, or even really a desire.

    Invictus week 2023 promo

    Too dark. The theory is good, the execution is poor. There is a reason the Blue Angels perform, and practise, during the day and not at night. :)

    Who needs an X-Wing in game

    Who needs a Lego X-Wing when NASA bought the rights to build real Starfuries.

    In a pack worth more than $1000 is another way to get LTI on everything.

    I haven't played in a year.

    Budget head-tracking setup for Star Citizen.

    I've never gotten that to work worth a damn, and my camera has all the desirable specs they recommended. I guess I sit to far from the screen.
