I decided to keep my current fleet and just crew up on a Polaris.
TEST Polaris fund donation drive!
- Thread starter Montoya
- Start date
Wise choice, I had allot fighters and 2 multi crew ships, now I'm down to one multicrew ship and still have my fighters. I wanted to complete my fleet with a Redeemer, but that is canceled now.
Right now I need crew to play pool on the Polaris :cool: (when it becomes available to fly)
I hope we can play pool when it's hangar ready!
So manny cool and expensive ships.
But none of them beat my Aurora LN hehe

I was so hyped up (and tired) after the presentation I almost melted everything and got one. My fleet survived intact. Went to bed at 3am and was up for work at 6am.

FYI - There's a page in the Polaris PDF showing a Sabre departing the Hangar Bay!

Yeah, but how many Auroras can you fit into the Hangar?

Physically I think you could fit 2 or 3 Aurora's in but I suspect it will only have a single Item/Ship anchor point - the 'Verse is not ready for a TEST manned missile Aurora Distribution Unit that can attack without provocation or warning. Think of the Sun's....

This is TEST. It can fit ALL the Auroras.
Stuffed Polaris for TESTgiving!
See! Sunder knows. TESTgiving, even for TESTivus.

Understanding the danger of using the ship specs data to make a decision, here is part of what helped me decide to pick up a Polaris beyond the fact that I like the look and design concept (especially the hangar) and prefer to get 'something' in exchange for my backing of the development (the jpegs, the sexy, sexy jpegs):
2 X S3 Fixed Mounts (these are the unmanned missile racks, top and bottom amid-ships)
3 x S10 Pylon Mounts (Torpedo Room and 2 magazines)
1 x S5 (dual unmanned turret, assume the forward chin turret)
1 x S4 (dual unmanned turret, assume the lower rear turret)
6 x S4 (dual manned turret, all the fuck over the place)
A forward 'fire everything' barrage would feature DPS from 8 S4 weapons, 2 S5 weapons, 4 at-a-time S9 Torpedo's and an unknown number of S3 missiles. Most other angles appear to be covered by no-less than 4 to 6 S4 weapons.
To quote Sgt. Short from Blue Thunder (1983) - 'And that gentlemen, is one hell of a shit-storm in anybody's language'.

I was kinda hoping this commercial would show some of the Polaris in action:

I can understand its all concept, but just a little bit of air time would have been amazing!

And it will actually be usable I believe!Sneak peak of Polaris (IT HAS A POOL TABLE!):
I like the rational controlled though process.
Me not so much I just drooled a bit said 'want Star Citizen 9 Defiant'. Then melted everything and bunged in some extra cash to RSI.

There is no way in hell I could afford one, so I coughed up some donation money in the hopes that I could park my Cutlass in the hangar and run booze for whoever is flying it at the time. :)

Well pointed out drunken teddy for if there's a pool table then a full stocked zero G space bar is on the Polaris
