Ship Plans

[CrashMan054]

It looks like all of you have at least a couple ships, what are you planning to do with them? What I mean by that is what're you planning on using them for, what upgrades are you planning, are you going to paint it my little pony, etc.

Cutlass Black: Trading/pirating/boarding, totally getting a pink paint job
Mustang: Racing or annoying the crap out of people by doing barrel roles in traffic
Aurora: Upgrade to Gladius

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

890 Jump - Org meeting booze cruiser, VIP transport, but most likely a cargo ship for my Orion if I don't pull the trigger on a BMM/cat/tali

Reclaimer - well scavenging and maybe a weekend drunk trying to catch other ships with the claw

Herald - Stealing the future Scarlett Johansson nude selfies, and I guess other data stuff

Freelancer MIS will be my start the game ship

Xi'an scout - other than being agile and cool looking, might end up being a hanger queen or melted if new info is not what I like


Future Ship will be the Orion, no doubt about it, I will burn all my ships if I have to, assuming they don't make mining worthless and boring

LTI Aurora: Crashing, or if the 2seater starter is any cool and they let us swap our starters like for the mustang (supposedly) then it might happen, but I have a feeling it will stay as my test missile.

LTI Starfarer: Gonna devote this thing to keeping test in ultra cheap fuel. Those Javs ain't gonna run on farts unfortunately. I think that with a bit of organisation when the PU alpha is out and we know the mechanics for fuels, we can get a fuel supply empire up and running that turns a profit for the org and keeps all members flying on the cheap.

Freelancer MIS will be my start the game ship

I think I'll be going the route with a Freelancer being my start the game ship, but I have a Super Hornet and may end up going with the DUR model so I can explore with that and dogfight (I see the Freelancer MIS as more of a small corvette compared to the fighters).

Do you plan on mostly combat?

 

[JBWill]

Avenger: My main personal ship for when I want to play solo. Seems like it should be able to run small cargo missions as well as combat/bounty hunting missions to make some money. Will probably spend a good portion of my early money outfitting it as well as possible.

LTI M50: Probably won't stay an M50, though I'm still not sure what I'll change it into. I've been considering a Super Hornet, but the Aegis Bulldog also sounds pretty awesome, I may look at trying to upgrade to that if/when it becomes available.

LTI Redeemer: Fairly self explanatory, will hop in this ship for larger scale combat/escort operations when I've got a few friends around to man the turrets.

Mustang Omega: Probably won't keep this either, though I'm unsure if I'll try to CCU it into something, or just use it as a gift/giveaway.

I still feel like I need to pick up something more cargo-focused, but I may just wind up working as a crewman on other people's big cargo ships.

Melting everything to buy a planet in-game.

only if the planet comes with LTI

I am not really sure at this point, I am leading more towards support roles with mining/salvage type game play with combat mixed in for org events. If you need a guy to man turrets or reload the beer fridge, I am your guy !

 

[Husker]

The Cutlass Blue seemed like a versitle ship. I did bounty hunting in SWG so I figured I'd give it a try on SC as well. If I don't like it I can always take the holding cells out and do cargo runs or some light salvaging.
Piracy dosn't really appeal to me all that much. I like the fact it comes with a tractor beam and stronger shields than the other Cutlass variants. It's something I may be able to mine from also come to think of it.
All around a very versital ship and I look forward to flying her! Only thing is at this time no jump drive on the cutlass right? I thought I had read they would be added later. Are there bunks in the Cutlass Blue? Appart from the holding cells lol.

The freelancer is nowhere near large enough to be considered a corvette, in either tonnage or volume. Closest analogue would be be the missile boat; a cutter or smaller sized warship designed to, well, fire missiles.

I'm planning on using my retaliator for armored cargo runs to buy back my redeemer and a cutlass or other small hauler, which will be my er'ryday ship.

The whole cutlass line has a jump drive.

Why would a planet need LTI?

Oh yeahhh...

 

[WarrenPeace]

My fleet is my pride and joy. Also my shame.

RSI Constellation Phoenix - I plan to attend any org meetings in this one so I can stay in my hot tub. Also, any VIP missions I decide to undertake.

Origin 325a - This one was intended to be my agility-based dogfighter. Depending on how the Gladius does, it might get rolled into another role, or melted for a Bulldog when that one is released.

Origin M50 - I love the way this ship looks, and I love how it flies like a cockroach on crack.

RSI Aurora LX - Ramming.

MISC Freelancer DUR - This is my explorer, and probably going to be one of my go-to ships for small odd-jobs.

Aegis Avenger - This is going to be my bounty-hunting ship, and possibly a dogfighter as well, if it maneuvers well enough.

Aegis Reclaimer - For scraping up all the mangled Aurora hulls around major TEST battle sites.

Drake Herald - For some of the more sneaky operations, and for conducting psyops on our enemies. *readies playlist of catchy but shameful pop songs*

Aegis Gladius - Depending on performance, likely to supersede my 325a as my go-to dog fighter.

Banu Merchantman - For large scale cargo operations. You can't have Starfarer-sized loads of beer without corresponding loads of bar food.

Origin 350r - Gotta go fast!

Aegis Retaliator - When TEST decides to start conducting operations that may call for a anti-cap component, I will be ready. Til then, I'm hoping "modular" means "have multiple modules that can be switched out for different roles on a moment's notice."

 

[CrashMan054]

Holy crap, warren! How will you ever fit all of that into one javelin and crash it into a sun?

 

[SkippyLeDoo]

So far I'm going for 3 things: Exploration, combat, and cargo.

Constellation for cargo and other odd jobs, Redeemer for various combat roles, and Carrack to boldly go.

 

[Dalarast]

I will be parking and washing Warren's and Russian's ships for tips.... my bikini will be skimpy for the extra cash.

 

[JoeCool4433]

Why would a planet need LTI?

What the Hell is an Aluminum Falcon?!?

 

[Husker]

I'll probably pick up a DUR and a Gladdious or Avenger depending on varrients also.

 

[Black Sunder]

Just melted my Freelancer MIS so I'll have enough store credit for the Carrack.

Super Hornet - Most likely my go-to co-op mission/fighting ship but don't know for sure yet.

315P - The solo explorer when I feel like taking a day off from fleet actions

Constellation Phoenix - When I need to Haul Montoya's drunk ass around I'll do it in style. Goes for RussianJ and others as well.

Khartu-Al - Co-op drunken flying at high speed! Either gonna be for fast fun or fast combat.

Gladius - My solo fighter ship. I also like the look of it.

Reclaimer - Not so much Master Chief as it is making money off dead TEST ships. I do genuinely do enjoy salvaging cool things.

Redeemer - The Beerdeemer. Will be a mobile keg transport and I can dump drunk Testies into a fight on a larger ship in boarding action! I like the design of it.

Herald - Remember Jurassic Park? Must go Faster!

Retaliator - Bought in a moment of weakness it will serve as my flagship when I gather a group of like minded individuals up to go have fun with a capital ship and we play pin the torpedo on the idiot.

 

[The Chaos Pope]

Fightin' round the 'verse

More specifically,

Hornet Ghost: Sneaking around and shooting things
M50: Getting from point A to point B fast and shooting things
Retaliator: Shooting really big things with really big missiles
Khartu-Al: Shooting things when my other ships are being repaired
890 JUMP: I'll probably add some shielding to the cargo bays and use it for smuggling.
Herald: Light treason
