  1. Shadow Reaper

    Mirai Guardian theory crafting

    From what I have scraped together it has: —2S5 stocks twin M7A laser cannons. Unlimited ammo, superb range, 3k dps. Excellent sniper w/ no reason to upgrade. Much lower power draw than 4S3 weapons, could be what enabled the 2S1 reactor build on this size bird. Attrition 5s offer a 25%...

    POLARIS first look!

    After seven years of the Tally and Eclipse using torps as first strike weapons, and millions of dollars in sales of them and the Polaris, it is really lame to introduce a foil and make it overwhelming. It makes me feel once more that CIG has been less than forthright with us. I’m all for ship...

    The Paladin

    Looks like twin S5 port and starboard and twin S7 dorsal?

    Will Exploration ships matter in 1.0 and beyond?

    What is the new intel about exploration? I must have missed it.

    The Paladin

    Rumors are 124m long, which is too big for a gunship. That would be a Corvette. Also rumored is 4S4 shields. S4 is cap class. Like reactors, cap shields are proprietary to a platform, so why would there be 4 of them? Also, CIG would be crazy to offer a competitor to the Polaris, right when...

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    Polaris by Dec 10, just in time for Christmas presents.

    The Spikey Look

    None of SC’s manufacturers have it; and now we know we need it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15QEy3Bfyy/?mibextid=UalRPS

    Anvil Terrapin Medical

    The Terrapin is also quite small. Two of them will fit in the Polaris bay. For bunker/cave running I prefer the original Turtle. The med bed is nice but if you’re doing extended server hopping, you know you need the bed, head and galley. Taking these out of the med version limits it quite a...

    POLARIS first look!

    View: https://youtu.be/AdtdVoi_53Q?si=hO_VYP6UJI8f1_7c Decent review, mostly concerned with lighting. Notes very quickly my objection about lack of bunks and the solution to this —add shared space bunks like on the Idris. Mentions the chin turret S6 guns are bespoke and more powerful than...

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    No, you cannot free yourself by logging out. What CIG said about this years ago was that bounty hunters will need to be limited by how long they can keep their prey in a box, but that it will be longer than most prison sentences. So criminal behavior will be much more seriously mitigated by fear...

    POLARIS first look!

    So, can we pick just one of the three Polaris threads for discussion? I have an objection or three to raise. First, I want to say how grateful I am they put the holoviewer back. I’m so happy about that I don’t want to make any complaints, but of course I have to. So first off. . . Changes...

    POLARIS first look!

    I didn’t see the pool table. Did they remove it?

    Polaris Crew

    I have never been able to figure out the crew complement the ship is designed for. There are five bridge members and one supposes at least one person standing at the holoviewer during battle—something like the CAG on an aircraft carrier who is directing fighters based upon a superior view of the...

    Theory crafting 600i Explorer Garage

    I doubt they’ll nerf the guns. They’re the only reason to choose the 600 over the Carrack. BTW, anyone else see a news flash the Carrack got her bridge shutters? That true?

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    I doubt any of the Zeus clan will ever match the speed and agility of the Cutty, but I doubt that’s the metric you really need to decide between. You need an extra gunner for the MR. How many players do you have? Also if you’re concerned with corraling, stick a Fury or two in the back. Now you...

    Need input on a new desk!

    I’m convinced the magic is in the chair. The desk is a tray affixed that holds the keyboard and mouse. The chair holds the sticks and in a pinch you can do without a desk at all. Get a comfortable recliner with drink holders to fit your sticks and work out how to swing around a keyboard and...
