Piracy Privateer
- Thread starter Shadow Reaper
- Start date
FUCK YES! Welcome 'Gimp. This, I do believe, will be the funnest aspect of the game. I cannot wait.
Hmmmm.
Cat: She's a keeper. So much utility.
Carrack: I always wanted her, I have her, and now I'm wondering if I want to keep her. Large ships are going to be expensive to run.
So query;
Do I want to turn my Carrack into a Prowler for Privateering? I AM thinking about it. Bought the CCUs just in case.

That is a really tough call, but if you can take ships, you can take a Carrack. IIRC, it has a huge blind spot out back, so any of them flying alone exploring are easy prey.
One nice thing about the Prowler is, you get a loaner Hoplite until it is ready, and that ship is extremely interesting for privateering as well. If we can get into a nice rhythm where we're taking a fat StarG each week just for cash, you should be able to afford more than enough fuel and NPC's as you need for a Carrack. And if we start before the Prowler is available, we will need the Hoplites. And hopefully CIG will let us mod back and forth between all the Vanguard variants, though no word if the Hoplite will be an exception since it has the wider body. Sure wish they would do that with all 4 variants.

Will do! You are number 45 on my list so I think we will be able to form several groups based upon time available, and we certainly need Sentinels.
Yeah, it's an internal debate for sure. I'll keep the CCU in buy back just in case. The way things are rolling right now, I'll be CCUing my Carrack to a Reclaimer when she comes out, and giver a test. Thewn I'll CCU back to the Carrack when she's released, and see which one I like the most. Maybe I keep one of the two, maybe she gets bumped up to something else.

Yarrr! we shall celebrate 'n drink spiced grog till th' sun comes up. First round be on me
You can join me drinking the spiced grog. I've already cracked into a 60. Happy Wednesday.
RocketBunny and Stevetank added. Fluffy has been on the list for ages. Some people get no choice--I select them for invite.
51 players on the list at present. One hopes that's enough to organize multiple teams in more than one time zone. Right now the trouble is I can only write 10 people at a time here, so will need to send out 6 invites minimum and probably more.
Just by way of suggestion, if when 2.6 is released the Hoplite becomes available, consider that purchase. Word thus far is it is the only long range drop ship. Squadron 42 is based around Vanguard play and they will be the logical choice for many martial types of employ.
