Hmmm.... I'm thinking of picking up the Cutlass for its maneuvering thrusters. Considering the credit prices for components so far, it may be way cheaper to buy the ship instead of the components. Good as a trader too with 10 tonnes cargo space. Reminds me of the A-10 The only things which concern me about the design are the "Horse Blinder" canards. I'd hate to be in a lateral maneuvering fight with those things blocking my view.

That thought did cross my mind too but it isn't gonna be a small nimble fighter as it is deceptively large so we just hope that big cannon on the top is as dangerous as it looks

I feel almost cheap in just having my initial pledge ship. I have another account, originally got it for my son should he decide he wants to play, it has a nice little Aurora with an upgrade to an LX model. If he doesn't want to play it will give me the opertunity to start at the bottom and work my way up

I spoke too soon. Check out these fleets...... http://i.imgur.com/cacLeeS.jpg Lots of people concerned about how the game balance with these uber fleets around. Although a good point was raised by someone stating that the game is a skill based game so probably not too much to worry about with the Goons, no point and click like in EVE here.

The biggest difference compared to EVE is that SC will rely heavily on instancing, so the vast numerical superiority of the über-Fleets like Goons won't be that much of a problem.

Still, seeing the image, it would be quite a show to see a virtual open war between those fleets.
+1 to the SimHQ "fleet".

I agree, with instancing (iirc) plus the ability to host a private server we should not see fleets anywhere near that size.
As been mentioned before, they will not be able to field that whole fleet as there are probably a ratio of 2+ ships per member.
That there cuts their available fleet to half or under, then couple that with some of the ships need multicrew and the fleet will be even smaller.
However, they have a great diversity and can field (if organised) quite a powerful fleet.
But as mace stated, there will be a lot of people showing off by flying their big stuff single handedly and they will make an easy target.
With regards to the cutlass, I still think of it more of an interceptor rather than a fighter and I am looking forward to seeing how it runs in a co-ordinated attack - especially with its tractor beam.
I would envisage an engagement with a large craft as follows 1. fighters tie up turrets and support craft at close range 2. Bombers and cutlasses hit at medium range and cutlasses move in for tractor 3. Constellations and larger ships pound from distance 4. Multicrew craft unload passengers into ship (if not destroyed) for capture
Anyway, if we are going to do the fleet thing, can we or should we start the exodus and move a long way away fom startersville to set up a base somewhere to launch our ops (that can cover trade + mining + interdiction)

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

I read on the SC forums that larger ships can have some sort of booby traps set and turrets so boarding a ship will be dangerous. But that's the life us pirates live EDIT: OT - I've just put a request in for a SC sub-forum http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3867919#Post3867919 so we have a place to put all our stuff. Please add your votes for this too

Getting a small SimHQ fleet together to take down one of these large ships sounds like SO much fun.

I'm perplexed... What good would a Gladiator be if it doesn't have jump capability? There are no carriers for sale, right? As far as I understand it every system has jump points which normally require some kind of jump ability to go through. However, in the more built up areas of the galaxy there are jump gates constructed and any ship should be able to go through those. You should still be able to cruise the galaxy in a gladiator, just can't go visit the fringes without hitching a ride.
