Our fleet..

..do we have an idea of our current fleet/size?

More than 1 and less than 20,000.

This isn't that type of group. Either CIG will integrate something that tells us just how many ships are in the fleet, or we just won't know. No point in asking, there's too many people and most don't answer or care. Some of them actually lie. It doesn't matter though, we won't really be doing anything big on a coordinated scale. This org is less of a clan, and more of a resource for people to get together as a community.

If you meant how many PEOPLE there are, in Star citizen, it's over 800.

There are several other games we have a presence in that put our membership in the thousands.

You're certainly not the first to ask, nor will you be the last.

Trying to gauge our community through polls on the forums or Google Docs have all just ended essentially the same, not everyone participates. Like GG said, once we get the fleet view from RSI, we'll have a good idea of where we stack up.

However, fleet size doesn't mean much when we may be limited by how many people, not ships, are in an instance. For example, you might have 4 people in a Connie piloting and manning turrets and another 5 on board for a boarding party. You've now effectively crippled your potential fleet size by 8 because you could've fielded 8 more ships for what is in the Connie. This is what I've heard and not a hard-fast policy that RSI will implement.

It does make you think about how to defend or attack a Bengal or other cap ships if they've got a full complement of crew, but I digress.

I think it's going to go by ships. Around 100 ships, as I remember. Individual people aren't so hard to do, but the ships are. So we get to pack 7 suicide cheerleaders + pilot into every aurora I guess.

Jam them in like japanese subway riders.

I'm looking forward to participate in a Bengal takedown (and guard it) when we get to it. We should be enough players in theory to occupy one for atleast some time.

Ohgod, can't wait for this game to go live.

First thing I do after finishing S42 is to go to deep space and look for a Bengal to repair/take over. In the name of TEST, of course.

Um.... can i uh... volunteer to be a Meat Shield? I will sell my hornet if necessary and buy an Aurora. Or just have both. Meat shield.

I like this idea. Who needs shields when you can just strap people (dead AND alive) to your hull?

Hey, it worked in Serenity after all...
