    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    One other point that CIG should eventually get. EM and IR seeker heads are passive so your warning receiver should not light up on a lock, only when the missile's engines are detected by your IR sensors.

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    I have found the Vanguard and Valkyrie targets in the HRT and VHRT missions about the same. The ERT Vanguards, Valkyries and Hurricsnes are a little tougher because their reinforcements tend to arrive sooner. I recommend the Galadreen or M7A for their longer range. Carry all Arrestor III's...

    Plus the ability to carry the prisoner back and, probably, the ability to keep the target from using quantum to escape. The ideal ship doesn't, yet, exist. The closest is likely the Cutlass Blue.

    Hammerhead only pays (Depending on your bonus level) between 25k and 33k. Call to arms adds another 3K. About 5-10 minutes each with an Eclipse, once you are in space. You can make 100K if you have an ERT Group Bounty from North Rock and the correct bonus level. In that group only one is a...

    Vanguard wish list

    The EMP is supposed to be EMP charges, whatever that means, not the EMP they gave it so that is a place holder but there will still be some form of EMP. The Sentinel is also supposed to perform Wild Weasel duties, have an FMS (Footprint Magnification System, aka F Me Sign.), and one would hope...

    Vanguard wish list

    Where did you see that EWar was cancelled? The last info I saw was the EMP was described as a temporary placeholder and that Ewar mechanics were not ready yet.

    Vanguard wish list

    About the turret, the primary job of the second person in a Vanguard is likely to be the E-War Operator, or Engineer, or both. The turret guns will be secondary. With the "operator mode" approach which shouldn't be limited to Missiles, those actions should be able to be handled from the turret...

    Vanguard wish list

    What they changed with the Valkyrie was that Vehicle bays might be able to carry cargo. But the 600i and the Carrack didn't get that buff.

    Brie is only good enough to play Mary Sue Characters.

    Slave 1

    I was under the impression that the lore had the ship as Jengo Fett's ship, originally. Maybe dad had plans. But we all know that the "rule of cool" is the likely culprit.

    Vanguard wish list

    The Scorpius and the Vanguard serve very different roles. If your only measure is DPS then the Vanguard is lacking, however DPS is not the only measure to apply. The Scorpius competition is not the Vanguard but the Hurricane. If you truly want to compare them, OK. The Scorpius is less agile...

    This nonsense has gotten out of hand. Disney is taking a financial hit from their wokeness. Vote with your wallet and help speed the process.

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    I run an Eclipse for ERT Bounties, so I can answer some of these questions. The Sentinel is not really stealthy in the first place, so how I use a Eclipse has to be considered at further distances. I don't do anything special. I upgraded the stealth components to Grade A. On approach I run flat...

    Only if I have a full set of gunners. :)

    Excited for the Ares?

    It means that if a normal ballistic gun has 30 seconds of ammo, this will have 60-90 seconds of ammo.

    Excited for the Ares?

    It is cool looking. It is a great looking ship that fills an important role and should have great range. My Eclipse fills a very similar role for me, so no Ares for me.

    Ship Names - is there a Test prefix?

    I think I want to name my Polaris the TSS Bar Fight.

    They also said there won't be a subscription payment. So how is the company supposed to be able to maintain servers and do updates?
