Me to but lets be honest, after a certain amount of spending an extra ship doesn't add much both to the hanger or the total cost! I am still waiting to see how much the caterpillar modules cost and hope its before a possible gamescon sale. (I still have credits!).

And dont forget those peeps we dont like from them other orgs! Haha
They copied my warming up technique!!!!
Looks funny, should be a nice addition for my fighter collection... :pThose bad bad people. There ships must be liberated from the chains of oppression.

Well you know those Pirate bastards stole them anyway. We ought to recover them and search for their previous owners. Anyone looking for a Cat, a dozen Dragonflies, a few Cutlass and some Bucks, we should go get some.
Has anyone taken on the little pirate bands flying around Comm stations with Jokers to see what happens? You know that Tana should mount 8 DC's. That should stop a buck in under a second, and it should be easy to hit with, given they shoot fast and wide.

Pirate scum. Thank God there's law-abiding Privateers like us to shut them down.
I haven't yet played with the DCs at all. I reckon I should.

LOL. . .such a great way to wake up gulping coffee and misting the plants when it comes out my nose like that.
Yes, by all means. I think they may be highly underrated. Their stats are very different than the 3MA, but they are not technically as different as you might imagine. If when the cross-sectional area of the strike misses some part of a shield or ship, you only deliver part of the real damage listed in the weapons chart, then they could fail to perform near the 3MA. If you are not in the "power limited" performance band and all the damage of any hit goes to shields and ship, then they actually would majorly outperform the 3MA. Inside the "power limited" band, they hit for 20% less than the 3MA but they have I0%> range, +I00% distortion damage. It's worth a close comparison. They have almost the same, very high weapon speed to target. I hope to fly 8 of them on a Tana. At 2,400 DPS there are very few ships she could not take on. . .the little ship who could. And don't even get me started about what may be possible with changing the geometry in flight. . .there is just too much to hope for.

you should trade the sabre for a vanguard to keep up with your Carrack. Dogfighters like the sabre and buccaneer will only have the fuel to jump a few systems over after all

Can't have your plants suffering from lack of caffeine. ;)
I'll rent a set and give them a shot. Perhaps 4 on my Saber, or a full load on my Buccaneer.
Maybe. But probably not. I may end up with a Vanguard (Sentinel or Harbinger), but it won't replace either of my other dogfighters. I'm falling in love with the Sabre, especially the stealth aspect.

Don't know if i'm crazy... but i upgraded my Hornet to a Redeemer.
Long time i wanted this baby.

no. the Red sensors are for loading and unloading only.
I want that baby too. Haha.
I'm going to seriously need help loading out my weapons and learning to fly, I'll get shot down easily if not. Maybe my superior beefed up tech will save me, but I doubt it...
Yes, you are :p, I also want a Redeemer, but I don't give up the Hornet for it ;)
Learn to fly, learn to manoeuvre/evade (even those silly asteroids kill) and learn to aim (that gets more difficult when you successfully learned to manoeuvre/evade).

It reminds me of learning to play pool. Once you can aim and shoot you know half the game. The hard half, the part many casual players never even begin to explore, is cue placement or where you leave the cue ball after you shoot, so you have easier shots and can shoot again and again. Same with fighter combat--you can rely on shields and armor and sit near motionless to kill targets, but if the targets are shooting back eventually you need to learn to evade. Eventually it is evasion and cue placement that turns into the much greater half of the game.
If you can evade well enough, you can change the buildout of your ship to reflect that. Note in the vid with DanGeesling flying the Sabre with the very slow weapons, that he was not much flying. No one was shooting at him. I have to wonder how useful those weapons are when evading.
That is one of the very reasons i dont use those slow firing weapons on a fast ship like the sabre, the sabre is so fast, that when busy evading, and doing hard maneuvers to keep on target, it becomes hard to hit with slower firing weapons. however, on slower ships with less maneuverability, those weapons increase in their effectiveness. However, when the stealth is implemented fully, you may see the sabre having more benefit from the slow firing weapons based on sheer stopping power, and having the ability to sneak up on, and kill a target in less hits, resulting in you taking less, if any fire at all being a very effective tactic, however for battles where stealth isnt an option, i expect to see the sabre with the general 4x panther or other fast firing weapon loadouts.
