I'm hoping a Pulse will fit into the cargo bays using a tractor beam to get it in an out. 4 SCU containers full of weapons, suits and clothes would make for a nice within system explorer.
I just watched Space Tomato on his stream trying to do just that, and currently it might fit, but it spazzes out and jumpglitches through the entire ship to the outside. So nope, not now, possibly not ever.

Personally, its value might boil down to cost vs potential, because while it has decent amenities for a starter, I'm not a fan of its asymmetrical looks. (The Aegis Avenger Titan has been the best looking starter since its debut & was a stunning small bounty hunting ship in its Avenger Stalker format.) Which is a shame, because Ata & I have a friend that's looking to back SC & is considering the Intrepid for their starter. This being said, IF the cost of the Intrepid is closer to the Titan than the Nomad, I might be tempted to pick up a couple for future LTI tokens.

Lets see the price tag but I think this will replace my mustang... and probably the Titan too since it does have an equivalent cargo capacity.
Looks like i've thinked wrong... 65$ is definitely a no go for an Intrepid...
That think cost more then a Titan and while having a nice and way more complete interior is a plus, game wise is less capable: less firepower, less shield and while the cargo stats are the same, the fact that is a 4+4 SCU instead of a full 8 SCU cargo grid prevent not only to take in 4 SCU box, but also to transport vehicles... all for 5$ MORE?? And that not considering the 300series.

I bet CIG's guys drink waaay to much at CitizenCon...

Problem with the Avenger vs. the Intepid comparison: It's not all about firepower.
Range might cripple the Avenger come Pyro.
Also, i killed a couple of angry birds on my Test flight of the Intrepid. Is it possible that you got full shields on every quadrant? Becaus it was holding up really well against the combinded fire of Vanguard Sentinel and an Arrow.
Got a slight scratch on the left wing and 2 dead aggressors.
I was pleasantly surprised. Even though i do realize that the Avenger might have cleared the situation quicker.
The missiles are a joke though. That's for sure.

Okay I might exchange the cutter for this boat, and yeah I know I mocked it in this thread but after using it on safe missions its growing on me.
It's just so easy to drag 2SCU boxes in and out of mission zones which equates to mucho Spesos for the bank:love:
After its introduction Im sure it will become as delicate as dragon fly wings but for the money it does a lot very well so long as its in a safe area and not exposed to enemy fire.
I'm eating crow for sure on this one:wut:

When needing to eat crow, I recommend using a brand of BBQ sauce that you enjoy after you cook the crow thoroughly. I speak from personal experience.

Barbeque Crow...
Now what does that make me think of?
(Trying not to cast a meaningful glance at own forum picture)

By the way, anyone noticed the free Nocturnal paint that comes as a Black Friday freebie?

Free with every Purchase of the ship (Yes even those already sold).
But exclusive to the first sale period.
So FOMO right now if you haven't already!
