    They are useless. I have tried, a couple of times, to fly with a Revenant on my Vanguard, and it just doesn't work. I think we are likely to see either 60 or 90 seconds of ammo for all the repeaters, with the Inferno keeping its 180 seconds of ammo. In the mean time, can we buy the size 5 gat...

    It's not. The exterior, with certain exceptions, isn't supposed to have gravity, hence the reason for "Zero-G push and pull."

    240 rounds at 900 rounds per minute means 240÷900=0.266666666 minutes. 0.26666666 × 60= 16 seconds. Sorry, off by a second. All of the ballistic repeaters and ballistic gatlings, other than the one on the Ares and the one on the Redeemer, have, roughly, 15 seconds of ammo. The Redeemer has 90...

    If it has Revenants it only has 15 seconds of ammo.

    On the Carrack, that is onto the hangar doors, not into the hangar. You can't fire the ballista from in the hangar, even it is does fit. (I'm not sure if it actually fits into the Carrack Hangar.) The 89J, unlike the Carrack, has a hangar lift. In theory, the 890J and the Polaris could, if you...

    Currently, in game, the only ships that can carry a Ballista, Spartan or Tank is the Hercules series and, I think, the 890J. The Carrack can not, the vehicle bay isn't tall enough. There is a video of a guy using a tank on the 890J mission, by dropping it into the landing bay using a...

    To put a Ballista on the hangar doors of a Carrack. Get close to the Carrack with a Hercules, open the Hercules ramp and back the Ballista onto the Carrack.

    In Star Citizen microjumping doesn't help. If you can jump so can your target. If your target jumps, they are gone. Putting a Ballista on the Hangar Doors of a Carrack is interesting, but shouldn't work, especially long term. With few exceptions, like the pads on a Kraken or Liberator, or a...

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    My Fleet: OK Guys, I think I'm finally satisfied.

    As others have said, I would add a small courier/generalist. Like an Avenger Titan, a 300 series or a Pices. There are times when you will want something small, cost efficeint and fast. (Which is why I lean towards the 300 series for this role.) You have space to carry one. There are, and will...

    And just for completeness this is our Combined Fleet. Fly with a wingman. :)

    The two pads on the Port side of the Kraken are shown to carry Medium ships, which would include both the Cutlass and the Vanguard. The Javelin's pad is also shown as carrying a single medium ship. The Kraken could carry our Dragonflys, Hawks, Sabres, her 325, my Eclipse and our Cutlasses. :) I...

    Thanks, though I'm not sure I agree. It's primary purpose is to "cross contested jurisdictions, find who or what you are looking for and bring it back in the condition requested."

    They have, back when John Crewe described the change to the Polaris. (Sorry, no link.) Size XS is any size 1 or 2 ship. Size XXS would be any size 1 ship. (Though the game files, apparently, have some ships misidentified.) Either the Pices or the Arrow, should be the largest Size 1 ship.

    I think it is better to go with what they told us, that it is 2xXS pads and 1xXXS pad and those limits until the ship is in game and we can see what actually can be carried. In any event, we have no need to pack it to the rafters. :) Just because you can doesn't mean you should. For our use...
