Ship wishlist

    Since things are getting a little stagnant in here let’s start a new topic! :)

    So what ship(s) do you really want and don't own yet?



    For me it is the Xi'an Scout, a ship the functions entirely on maneuver thrusters sounds fun.

    M50, I think having a racing ship will be fun.


    I am still on the fence on keeping my Super Hornet when I have a Cutlass and Gladiator in my hangar as well.

    In order of preference;

    Starfarer - Instrumental in making some serious credits in the beginning.
    Hornet SWACS variant - I always wanted to work on EA-6Bs and EP-3Cs back in my Navy days. So I've got a soft heart for ECM.

    I'm not really interested in an Idris right now. To me they're just going to be huge targets for pirates.

    I like the fact that Scrub and I went in on a Retaliator. That's another highly customizable craft that we can utilize. To me it's the Swiss Army Knife of the entire fleet available to us.

    xi'an scout or the possible new merchantman, depending on stretch goals

    Would love an idris or a small frigate

    starfarer would be amazing

    gladiator is the one near the top as well

    Vanduul Scythe, that's the combat ship I want. Seeing how my freelancer is going to be "Sloppy wet noises" I want the Scythe to be called "Pinch and Tickle." I will probably wait to get it in game if I cant find some serious cash soon.

    I am seriously reconsidering the Connie as a heavy Convoy escort, no denying the thing is very upgradable/fast/armed and I am curious as to the future variants.

    the connie is starting to turn more and more heads. After this retailiator fiasco, they are drawing more and more attention

    Is the retaliator thing actually a fiasco though? Or just a bit of new info panic?

    I think it is more of people assuming something that wasn't fact, and now that the facts are known it was the opposite of what they assumed.

    I mean they thought the 30tons of cargo was in addition to thier ammo stores, those torp bays are the storage and any removal of them removed the storage lol. So no luxery ship mods and storage space :)

    I mean it makes perfect sense the way they explained it.

    i say fiasco only cause of the uproar it has caused. Maybe it was too harsh a word, but like ash stated, who in their right mind would think you could carry that much and weapons. The only thing I am curious about, is if those torpedoes use all the hard points, it could cause a small discomfort, but meh.

    I never intended to have those torpedoes in the bay anyways for the first 6 months unless i specifically went out with the intent to kill an idris. How many capitol ships are you going to run into in an average day?

    See, when you explained it to me Scrub, I imagined that the torpedoes replaced missiles, they weren't in addition to. So I kinda figured you could turn say, a Gladiator into a multi-missile attack fighter, or a torpedo bomber; maybe some hybrid of both, but I didn't see where you could carry a full stock of both.. Same for the retaliator, so that's what I found confusing about the whole thing frankly.

    The gladiator has 6 class-3 hard points 2 of the hard points are in two bays on the belly (torps) 4 are on the wings.

    I think people forget there are weapon sizes associated with each class slot, not all slots are created equal. Some ships have a class 2 spot that houses weapon sizes from 3-5, while the other is 1-2 sized only.

    So look imagine the torps range in size from 3-5 and missiles tend to be 1-2 so the glad would be something like 4 x class 3 (size 1-2) and 2 x Class 3 (size 3)


    Hope this helps.

    I plan to pick up a 2nd ship during this months sale. What it will be still not sure. A 350R is tempting but racing will likely be something I do later in the game.

    I do want a single pilot fighter, so taking the Super Hornet out of consideration for now and may just go with a Ghost Hornet.

    I have a feeling we may need a few people to go in on the Starfarer which I am good with.

    There is a rumor going around thet that F7A Hornet (Military model) will go on sale this weekend. It has all the capabilites as the super hornet, with just one seat. However it is just a rumor.

    I had one, but may get one again to round out my fleet. I won't grab the rear admiral package again though and save the extra $50 for npc slots or a variant upgrade in the future.
