Weren't they at IAE in hographic form?

I've done a canyon run in a Hornet, it felt a little sluggish. This thing is supposed to be more sluggish.

Well the Q&A put it about where I thought it would. For $220 find a gunner or get two Hornets for $220 and Find a wingman. You get better agility, better speed, more firepower, and more survivability, but it doesn't look like an X-Wing.

That depends on what your use case is. Do you want to haul cargo or fight?

A limited ship isn't supposed to have CCU available. Last years Invictus was the only one, that I am aware of, where there was no CCU, though the CCU at last years IAE was limited. Those were the only two sales where the Polaris was limited.

This let me CCUto one so it has LTI. :) PT-73 just got bigger. :)

The Hornet series is likely more maneuverable and at least as durable. Now here comes the fun part. The turret in the Scorpius has been hinted that it requires a gunner. It certainly requires a gunner to properly use the turret to its full capability. If that is true the Hornet also has more...

Do you plan on flying solo or with a gunner?

If it is standard current landing pad metric, as Crewe said and others like to say, the standard small hangar fits a Vanguard or a Cutlass.

If the Polaris is to use the current metrics then it can carry a Cutlass or a Vanguard, which fit in "small" hangars. I expect the max size to be around the size of a Sabre.

It was always supposed to be fairly available as a militia ship. They locked it down for a year.

The Nomad has 3 size 3 standard. Sure you can lock them but they are still size 3.

As a general rule, weapon types being equal, going up a size increases your DPS by 150%. So 3 size 3 equals 2 size 4. You give up a little range for an extra size 3 DPS. I can see some circumstances where the two size 4 might be useful but for a fighter they seem more like edge cases.

You only need one good pilot and the turret gunner doesn't need to be all that good as a pilot. Also you don't need your friend to own a Sabre. Otherwise, I prefer two Sabres or possibly two Hornets depending on performance.

Constellation, Merlin, Nomad.....

At least it doesn't look like the Pilot gets the turret out of the box.

It is smaller than I expected while the guns being larger than I expected. Not a Vanguard replacement but it definitely obsoletes the Hurricane. For me this is a pass. I am restricting myself to one Carrier Fighter, and that slot belongs to our Hawks.

2 size 3 and 2 size 4 is roughly the same as a Vanguard's 4 size 2 and one size 5, weapon types being equal. They are going to have to do much better if they want me to unmelt it.

They don't look like they are gimballed but I agree they look size 2.

They are spending time and resources on making a new ship, why not a starter farming ship? Why not a repair ship between the Vulcan and the Crucible? Why not a refueling ship between the Vulcan and the Beerfarer? Why not a salvaging ship between the Vulture and the Reclaimer? If they want to...
