The Retaliator stayed as our single large crew ship. I get it. :)

Yes.

The issue is the size of the module and, for the Liberator if you can carry it as a ship/vehicle instead of as cargo. It appears to be larger than the XXS hangar.

Arrow is either the smallest ship that doesn't fit or the largest one thst does, probably.

The Galaxy makes compromises that don't appear to make sense. The weapons loadout is poorly thought out, specifically: Size 5 is anti-large ship, but it is clearly not a combat vessel so needs defensive turrets, which means size 4. The module appears too large to easily transport. It appears...

It has been a stated boundry and an implied boundary. Of course everything is subject to change, but changing this boundary invites significant power creep.

So far, yes, it does.

But they've also stated that weapons and sizes have specific purposes and the differentiation will be based on role. And the Anti-Fighter/Anti-Ordinance role has been defined as size 4 and under.

I've never seen them downsize a gun. Upsize, lots, but not downsize.

One of the first ships that could.

Last year I did something similar, with a different focus. I reorganized my fleet and my wife's fleet. The primary purpose was to cut crew requirements on our fleets. The introduction of the Liberator also loosened the rule on number of short ranged craft in the fleet we were going to have. We...

This is why I like hanging out here. :)

Given what they've told us about intended direction for space combat, the Galaxy just doesn't feel like it is armed correctly. It's 3 turrets with 2 size 5's each means the intended weapon use is to strike large ships, but the ship clearly isn't designed for combat. To defend the ship against...

The Liberator isn't a base, it is a transport ship. While we don't know the final dimensions, those 400 SCU in the Liberator, should be able to haul Torps. The Starfarer, in its current configuration appears to have a cargo hold that can haul torps as well.

That is why I have a Liberator. Carry our small ships, personal inventory and carry our modules for my Retaliator and our Vanguards to move to a new base of operations. You are definitely tied to a base of operations with a modular ship though.

Should be.

Unless this is much cheaper than the Carrack, I don't see the appeal.

I doubt this will be the first modular ship. The first 3 are, highly, likely to be the Retaliator, Vanguard and 600i. (In that order).

I would think Heart of Gold would be an appropiate choice.
