So far I like it. It has everything you need in a ship.

Definitely NOT a solo ship though. I'm surprised you can't even fire the torpedoes from the main bridge. That's a dumb design decision. You should be able to have a weapons officer control all that from one of the 5 seats in the bridge. Instead the poor torpedo guy has to be in the cold dark lower decks for that work.

I love that big Size 6 turret and the hanger though. Plenty of room!

They need super hard ERTs that payout in the millions. As it is a single torpedo is something like 1.2 million to reload. Yikes.

That or we never use those torps except for PvP. Good thing they gave those dual Tier 6 guns.
they are saying 750k per torpedo in chat on the server.

What? where is that?
go into the cargo bay from the side of the polaris, follow it forward up some stairs ( or a ramp) and you will see them. a door in between them leads to what i believe is the front turret. the location of the torpedo launchers will make it nice considering we have to load the launchers by hand.

I love how Torpedo 3 fires through the main elevator. :)
I thought so too but I believe the torpedo magazines (probably not the correct word but you get my meaning) seem to dispense the torps from the bottom. Then I assume they travel under the floor sideways to the loading tubes which then transport them to the firing tubes.

If you lower the main elevator then look at the ship from the front, the ports the torpedos exit are well off to the side of the elevator. Furthermore, the torpedoes roll inwards into the firing tubes from the loading tubes which would mean they're even further into the outer wall of the ship.

I haven't been able to watch the torpedo magazines when they're operating, however. Have you?
