    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    The other plan is to consider a progression in your chosen profession. So, for example, a ROC, a Prospector, a MOLE and an Orion.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    A Dragonfly is the only ground vehicle I have. It isn't as fast as a Nox, but more versatile, IMHO.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Since the insertion is noisy, they know you're coming. One would think flight crews are suited up.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Breaching a wall is a better choice than using a door in the real world, especially when the defense has a few fireteams of their own and knows you are coming. Granted this is a game, but I just keep thinking about the Storm Trooper bodies in the airlock in the opening sequence of Star Wars.

    Legionnaire Q&A

    Other than to serve as a dropship for ships with XS hangars, I still don't see the point. It would work better without the docking tube and more storage.

    Best life and sales advice I ever got was from a Muppet.

    I resisted and left things alone this year.

    New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer

    I rather have a Sabre or Hornet and a Wingman also in a Sabre or Hornet than a Scorpius. Fortunately I do have a Sabre and a wingman (wing woman?) with a Sabre. I don't see the attraction, other than to "lock S foils in attack position."

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    This fits in the Hangar of any ship with an XS pad. So either to take your marines to a fight, or board through the hangar on ships that you are after.

    I am the liquor

    I have met liquor. In fact my relationship with the entire liquor family is both long and quite close. You aren't liquor, except possibly by marriage. After all that crazy Barcardi went and married a Mormon, so I guess anything is possible. Welcome to Test.

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    Range, tankiness and firepower are the obvious answers. The Vanguard line are not supposed to be variants. One Vanguard should equal all Vanguards with Combination kits. Though the Hoplite was only implied not stated outright as being part of the equation. So, if you dump your Hoplite in...

    Army cadance, old school: Throw a grenade in a jeep Watch those bodies in a heap All I ever want to see are bodies, bodies, bodies. See that plane up in the sky Dropping napalm from on high Watch the enemy burn and die All I ever want to see are bodies, bodies bodies Etc.

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    The trip mines were 3.16, I believe. The Grenade Launcher is a little older. Both will fill an airlock with bodies quickly.

    It, IMHO, comes down to what size unit you are trying to move. If we go with 8 man squads, then it takes 2 Valkyries to move a platoon and the Hoplite is pretty useless. With 6 man squads, then 4 Hoplites, 3 Legionaires, 2 Retaliators or one Valkyrie move a Platoon. (Though the Valk is short...

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    If it also works as a drop ship then this ship serves a role the other dropships don't serve. You can deliver Marines from an Idris, Liberator, or similar size landing bay, to the target. As a dropship, this is the right size to deliver a squad. I'm still a bit dubious about the whole "enter...

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    It looks like the designers didn't pay much attention to the opening sequence in Star Wars (A New Hope.). The rabel stacked elite armored trooper bodies like cord wood as they entered the ship. I figured boarding like in Babylon 5's "The Gathering," or how the Galactica's Marines boarded in...
