Fuck she's gorgeous. Really, the only ship I need!

This is why I'm gonna fit one of mine with full stealth components and the 2nd one full mil spec.Yeah, I do worry a bit about the Mercury's self defense capability. 2 pilot controlled S2 gimbals and a pair of 2xS2 turrets isnt a huge amount. The missiles are also uh....yeah. oh boy, TWO whole S2 missiles! Yeehaw
Obviously the Mercury isnt a combat ship and shouldn't be swatting fighters out of the sky, but I do think it should be faster than her current slated speed in between the Cutlass and Freelancer. Maybe a bit lower on the emissions by default too?
I also have two of them at the moment. That's actually a very good plan. Hmmmmm, maybe I don't need any other ship.This is why I'm gonna fit one of mine with full stealth components and the 2nd one full mil spec.
HERESY!!!I also have two of them at the moment. That's actually a very good plan. Hmmmmm, maybe I don't need any other ship.
She's in North America. I'm...not. haha.HERESY!!!
Did your wife type that???
I hadn't intended to have 2 but when the sale happened in March and I had some store credit I jumped on it.She's in North America. I'm...not. haha.
I've never actually considered having 2 of the same ship until Sunder mentioned that though. Now I'm thinking.
In the meantime, I'm trying to be patient, waiting for the anniversary sale and CitizenCon.
Given the bands of pirates that infest it and are at war with each other and a star that tries to kill everything in the system it isn't likely to have much in the way of resources, like truckstops.
View doesn't bother me too much if the glass itself is free of most obstructions. I like the Freelancer despite its narrow visor like field of vision.The one thing not mentioned so far is the view. What good is travelling through space if you can't see it. The Connie may be boring, but you won't get lost in it. The exterior looks like someone threw up a box of greebles all over it. But the obstructed view, absolutely kills it for me.
It is a WWII Battleship wheel house, with less visibility. :)View doesn't bother me too much if the glass itself is free of most obstructions. I like the Freelancer despite its narrow visor like field of vision.
Course, it could be worse. Could be stuck with the little old lady view of the Cutlass, or did they ever resolve that? Always felt like a midget in a monster truck.It is a WWII Battleship wheel house, with less visibility. :)
Also sounds profitable.I know right, sounds like a blast!
I can't get over the C-47 held together with 100 MPH tape vibe I get off the Cutlass and Caterpillar.Course, it could be worse. Could be stuck with the little old lady view of the Cutlass, or did they ever resolve that? Always felt like a midget in a monster truck.
Yeah, you got me thinking now. Keeping two will really depend on what comes down the pipe at the Con/anniversary sale.I hadn't intended to have 2 but when the sale happened in March and I had some store credit I jumped on it.
Concur. A whole bunch actually. Carrack and Sentinel are ranged. I think the Merc is. I hope it is. A transport without range would be kinda dumb.The more I look at what we currently have in the PU the more range I want in a ship.
Right? The kinda place that I think I could spend a fair amount of time.I know right, sounds like a blast!
Hmm I disagree with that...Yeah, I do worry a bit about the Mercury's self defense capability. 2 pilot controlled S2 gimbals and a pair of 2xS2 turrets isnt a huge amount. The missiles are also uh....yeah. oh boy, TWO whole S2 missiles! Yeehaw

Retaliator and, hopefully, Warden for me.Concur. A whole bunch actually. Carrack and Sentinel are ranged. I think the Merc is. I hope it is. A transport without range would be kinda dumb.
Damn it!I hadn't intended to have 2 but when the sale happened in March and I had some store credit I jumped on it.
Great to hear you got the info you needed to assist with your planDamn it!
I may have come up with the answer to my Vanguard Sentinel + Warden BUK issue.
The modularity is supposed to go across all 4 Vanguards now.
It also covers what to do with my Gladius.
Gladius to Hoplite.
Stealthy Vanguard, Fighter Vanguard, mix and match.
