Nice!
Edit: my distracted, putting my son to bed answer above, well seeming appropriate at the time, now seems to lack substance. This cannot stand.
Unfortunately, I have no substance to add.
Did he get to keep the Idris-M? I haven't managed to watch the whole video yet. Still putting my son to bed. Ha.

Yeah I heard about this.
To buy an Idris-M over my Idris-P would be awesome.

The video is 4 minutes long.........
You had time to post here but you did not have the 4 minutes to watch the video.....????
Damn, I am old. There is something here that I have missed but just can't seem to understand. :grinning:
@Montoya You ask what ship we would want????? Auroras, of course.
Ok ok, I watched it all. Gawd, so demanding. :kissing_heart:
4 minutes? You only get 4 minutes when they turn 4. If your toddler is only 2, then you only get 2 minutes of rest before you have to do something else.
so test really IS in bed with CIG......me likey
Hope they have a California King, cuz I don't think we'll all fit.

I'd like to know too. Last I heard, CIG locked the "lucky" accounts and retrieved back all the Phoenixes and Idrises upgrades.
To answer the question Montoya. I would buy a Vanduul Stinger.

I don't think we know enough about the big ships to make good decisions about them yet, but my guess is the Idris will require about twice as many players as the Polaris. So to me the question comes, which are you better off with, a single Idris M or a pair of Polaris? I think the pair of Polaris may well be a better deal for two reasons. First, it will be so much easier to crew one Polaris more often than the Idris far less often. Second, the Polaris is likely to be far faster, so able to be in the thick of fun while the Idris is poking along wishing it were having fun.
History has many examples of pairs of Corvettes engaging single, much larger Frigates and coming out victorious, and this for many reasons. If we find in game that speed matters as much in the 'Verse as it does in real life, my money would be on the Polaris or a pair of them.
And on a side note, as cool as the Zestroyer rail gun will be, without real stats my guess is, 8 S10 torpedo launchers will be far more effective. A pair of Polaris has much more firepower than an Idris M, but will not be able to take hits the same. If the Polaris can evade ship-to-ship weapons like the Zestroyer, it can rule over the Idris M.
