    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    I really like the look and idea of the Mule! Stoked to be able to carry one of those around soon. I swapped out the Odyssey for an Apollo and a Phoenix, too many big boats for me (did lose some sweet ccu value though)

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Yeah. That said, it was originally sold as "Exploration/Combat" and the brochure literally shows the Corsair 'assaulting a station'. I like to think it's going to be a straight rat ship, the devs said there is nothing special about the ships scanners. How does it fill the role of a true explorer?

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    For Connie I'd likely get the Phoenix at IAE (was there last year anyhow) so that could serve as a multirole VIP mission boat. Only thing about doing that is it eats deeper into the credits, so that would restrict other ships. Could grab it and the MSR though, both would be more useful to me...

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    So, in your mind, does the Connie, MSR and Corsair work well together, or do a pair cancel each other out? MSR is a data/hauler to my knowledge and I doubt the Corsair will hang with it in speed or data.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Yeah, part of my core fleet is definitely the Starliner and the Corsair. I only worry that having a Connie will overlap with the Corsair too much.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Awesome input! Thank you very much for your time! You said my current fleet could move something like a Hornet. Is that based on the assumption of the Merchantman being able to move vessels like the defender? I know the odyssey has a hangar but if it gets the axe, that’s that. I’ve gone back and...

    Solid advice! Thanks gents! I’ll derp around in the carrack tomorrow a bit.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Pax transport is already handled by the Starliner. There were other loops listed after. I don't think there are many of us here that are solely interested in only one mode of gameplay. Not to say those that are, are wrong for it. Just isn't my style, that's for sure. No worries, I appreciate...

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Yeah, my thoughts were basically this: Odyssey is an expedition vessel made for long treks into the black. I'd likely not stay out weeks at a time, personally, and would more likely do a few days tops. So the Corsair should fill that role just fine, explorer lite with piracy capabilities. The...

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    How do they not? The MSR is cargo + data/smuggling, the sentinel is a combat ship, Apollo doesn't really fit in with anything but med gameplay is on the way and surely it'll make some form of profit. I mentioned transports, trade, some combat.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Passenger transport, some combat but not tons of it, trade and some exploration. Don't have much interest in mining, refining, etc. Who knows down the line though, when they add more systems in! I'm just going off experience in other space games, x series, elite etc.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    CCU'd, and that's been part of my back and forth. I just feel like it'll be one more big ship sitting in the hangar. "Space base is cool tho!" Yeah, but long treks in the black on a giant ship, lots of work to do for the lonely spacefarer. The Endeavor has biodome, hangar and general research lab.

    Hull A

    I really like the Raft, I think it's a great looking boat and will definitely have one at some point for a shuttle. The Hull A seems nice, but I personally will shoot for the B or C.

    Melting the Odyssey! A couple of questions for my well educated TESTies

    Hey all, Thanks for stopping in. So I'm downsizing the fleet and have two lti tokens sitting in buyback that I can make use of. I've been going back and forth on getting rid of the Odyssey as the only crew I will have will be y'all, and for someone who intends to play a bit solo, I've got too...

    Second thoughts on the Odyssey

    I'm going to hold onto it in hopes of it truly being a pirate ship. I want a rat ship and an exploration vessel. The Corsair was never, to me, an exploration vehicle and when I bought it I swear it was exploration/combat, now it's exploration/exploration.

    Second thoughts on the Odyssey

    Who knows what it'll be in the end though? If I melt it and the price goes up, it will stay at the purchase price in buyback correct? I'm thinking of rolling with the 600i, though I have a Corsair and worry there will be too much overlap there, both explorers, though one will have a medbay and...

    Every time I see a picture of the Odyssey, I can’t believe I’m debating melting it xD - I think it’s a beautiful ship

    Second thoughts on the Odyssey

    Primary reason for the Defender would be the functionality with the BMM and the fact that I've got one with either lti or 10 year in the buy back. I think it's getting looked at for a touch up too, but that could be me misremembering.
