So does it have the power supply to back that up or are the shields s**t.
Looks like the Ares has a gun the size of the cockpit.

Hmmm I'm already wet.... oh sh!t I've spill the beer...
Agree really love the CI style it's the only one, up to now, that foor me have a proper modern sci-fi looks. Not that i dislike the other line up (origin have a fantastic style too), but compared to Drake, RSI or MISC this is more in line of my taste.
Looking forward to the complete news today!
That's great not too long then, and hopefully be home for a while this time.
I completely agree, I've liked all the new Crusader ships, still not a fan of the genesis but hopefully when they bring it inline with the current crusader style it will be more appealing.
So the old usual for a fighter: It's a glass cannon, punches above its weight class...
Amen to that. If all goes well, home for the next year or so.
I almost coughed up for the Genesis. Not for the transport, but for the variants that were mentioned when she released.
"The United Empire of Earth military also modifies the standard Genesis spaceframe for a number of different roles, including a troop transport, patrol hunter-killer, SWACS/C&C platform (referred to informally as the Starlifter, Starhunter and Starseeker) and even as an advanced aerospace prototype testbed! Imperator One, a highly customized Genesis starliner with added security and luxury features, is used to ferry the sitting Imperator when they travel off-world."

It was definitely intriguing the looks just put me off, I definitely feel if they bring it inline with the modern crusader style it will be so much more appealing.
And now the Ares sale is live - a S7 gun in a good looking ship - sooo very tempting
Ares is on sale now, ION version white with a S7 engery weapon, 4xS5 Torps and 8xS3 Missiles total, 3x Med Shield, gens, 2 Med power, 3Med Coolers, just a fighter no other internal room.
The Inferno version is black with a S7 Gat, one less shield, powerplant, and cooler but with more armor
Loaner seems to be a Hurricane

No kidding I want both. But I did upgrade my Hurricane to an Inferno.

Dammit this thing is sexy. Right before Xmas.... which means good news and bad news.
Bad: Kids aren't getting any presents this year because... Ares.
Good: I don't have any kids lol. But my bank account won't handle this well.
May look into doing an upgrade to be cheaper, but no idea what to sacrifice for one of these. Only two fighters I have are the Vanguard and Super Hornet Heartseeker, which I really don't want to get rid of. Also, I really hope we create a "Domino" squadron for these, where it's pairs of a black & white (inferno & ion) to take out anything in their path with the two hit anti-shield/armor combo.
