Build-a-'tali!

[Huegpaynis]

So, some of you may remember how I was always going on about wanting to heave heavily-armed men and women out the bottom of my retaliator?

WELL NOW I CAN.

They just released modular bays for the retaliator, and it includes living quarters (front and rear bays), cargo (front and rear), the standard torpedo bays, and a troop bay (front only).

Who wants to play human ordinance?

FYI the base model being sold comes with LTI and so do the modules.

WAT? So much want! Holy cow, thanks for pointing this out!

EDIT: Only part I'm leery of is the cargo modules. I don't think the Retaliator has been updated on the specs page with the new Cargo Unit system, so I can't get an accurate read on how much it will carry in the current configuration, before adding the modules.

this model does not appear to be purchasable with store credit.

*EDIT* It does now, apparently.

LTI Retaliator hype!!!! I picked one up with the living quarters. Hoping to make this my mobile command and control ship.

The same problem was there for the Tali itself and they just fixed it a few minutes ago. Hopefully the modules will get fixed.

I forgot to use my discount code... I suck

Melted down my 24month anniversary Retaliator and got the base model + drop ship module + rear torpedos

 

[Huegpaynis]

I already have a redeemer, so I'm not likely to pick up a marine bay until the PU launches, but I like that it was one of the first modules launched, alonth cargo and living quarters.
They also mentioned having other modules comeing up later on, so this is looking good.

Can you test whether the new 'tali shows up in hangar? They've said the new modules aren't hangar ready yet, but nothing about whether the new 'tali will be supplemented by the old model until it's ready to be dropped.

 

[Jimmy Dean]

I'm hoping they still go through with the prisoner transport module eventually.

 

[mromutt]

I just bought the base, and a friend sent me a $50 giftcard so will be getting two modules tomorrow :D though some things were melted for this, nothing important though!

 

[Serious Table]

Melted a Hull C and Reliant for an LTI Tali with Living and Cargo.

Which is hilarious because I already have a Constellation, but DAMMIT THAT TALI BODY.

 

[Joegasaki Kenji]

I melted my 325a for a Aurora!! (And part of my brand spanking new tali but thats not important)

New tali does NOT show up in the hanger. I'm sure it might show up pretty soon; but for now it will not show up. Also, might not need to be said, but the modules can't be put into your tali yet.

 

[Huegpaynis]

moot point, it'll be back in hangar by the time we can fly her; I swapped my anniversary retaliator for an LTI retaliator and 2 torpedo bays.
I'd have gotten a rear living and dropship bay to make an awesome shuttle, but I already have my redeemer, and I'm not giving her up anytime soon.

 

[DragonHeart]

Remember the torp bays are only 24 months insurance, the Tali hull and new modules all have LTI.

 

[Derkerter]

I also did the swap around. Free LTI tali! Now, do I want any of the other addons... Maybe the cargo and living ones? Not much interest in the dropship module.

 

[Beauseant]

I got the Tali but I'm just not sure which Mods to get...... LTI cargo could be cool, even if it's not the biggest or best cargo ship it would be a guaranteed way to always make money.

And the living modules.... I'm just not sure what in the world that would be used for.... Passenger Missions, Long Term Exploration, just hanging out? I'm honestly just now really sure what its used for.....

Long term missions Add a living and cargo and boom, you have an awesome exploration escort.

 

[Beauseant]

I was thinking about that.... but now living in the front or the back... sink or soda dispenser

 

[D3Mark]

If I was going to swap my MAX out for the 'Tali as my smuggler ship it would likely be forward living aft cargo.
