They said double the volume, not mass.

Why stop at one each? For every battlecruiser there should be two (or more) Destroyers and 4 or more Frigates.

I don't think it will get released before SQ 42. Since this is Anvil's first Capital Ship, I think it should have "teething problems." Things that inexperience would typically produce.

And here I am trying to decide if my Retaliator has too much of a crew requirement to be worth keeping for its limited mission capability.

Beautiful was auto correct. LOL. The fighter came in from above and behind. At least 3 turrets should have engaged, 4 by the time the Tali exploded. Working together in turrets is a fun experience. Remote vs. Manned turrets is immaterial. The Tali is not, nor has it ever been stealth. It...

They are more than enough, especially against a lone fighter. Or they should have been but the gunners were AFK.

One of the Retaliators had the gunners all AFK.

I thought it was developed in response to the size increase of the Idris.

You have to get past the counter measures, point defense and shields.

Because ships with better sensors can run those kinds of guns, at least in theory. An Idris can accurately track targets past 4km, for example.

This should have been part of the plan from the beginning. In the real world, smaller sensors have less range and have harder time trying to burn through ECM. Chris Roberts wants fighter combat to be so close you can recognize the enemy pilot by his helmet. He wants pilots to be able to...

Sensors, PTU. There is no precision aiming beyond 930 meters for a size 1 avionics. You can't target turrets. It is likely to get worse once ECM is added.

Oh, and powerplant pips are not additive. A stock Vanguard Warden with one Malestrom has 20 pips. A stock Retaliator with two Malestroms has 24 pips.

I heard it. What you are saying doesn't matter. The Perseus, and Especially the Idris and Polaris can destroy the carrier before the mosquitos can get there. Effective range on the size 2 guns is significantly less than the "range of 5KM," and is, currently, less than 1000m. According to SPV...

You have to get in range, when you don't have the speed to do it. That means you have to launch from your carrier close and the carrier is, therefore under fire, at launch, from the main guns and the torps of the target ship. You started with cap ships then switched to the Perseus. OK, lets use...

"Do not use a canon to kill a mosquito." - Confucius

Repositioning doesn't mean run. For example, I'm in a Cap Ship, and your Snubs are in range. My guns have a longer range. There is no advantage in staying close.

Cap ships quantum boost too.

Ships without Quantum Drives can't "Quantum Boost" so can't close the distance and can easily be escaped from once that is part of the flight mechanics.

This is the F8C not the A. The Vanguards that we have are current issue military fighters. My wife and I also each have a Hawk, Sabre (which is mil-spec) and F7CM Mk II (All with LTI). We have no need to spend much on NPCs. Throw a blade on the Vanguards, or the Blues and they work just fine...
