If I survive this, and if we get the tyr and if we also get the Panther, can I have the Panther please? Always got a soft spot for them and it can be the new home of Orange wing!

Can I still be in Orange wing if I'm flying a Panther?

This is gonna be fun - I reckon the Panther first to sell to finance repairing Awesomesauce and then see how many of the Tyr's escort can be boarded. As well as the Tyr, of course

I hate to say it (can anyone say "tempting fate"?) but this thread is nearly 90% of the way towards being in the top 10 most viewed and nearly 80% into the top 10 most posts...

As always N-S brilliant writing - thanks

Tim

Tyrs before bedtime. Daron Slamer is itching for a bit of boarding action. Bring it on!

Mmmm capping a Tyr will provide quite some entertainment, just hoping NS lives to tell the tale after!

Me thinks the opening action during the attempt on the Tyr would be an event worthy of trying another video NS?
I need a training guide for a similar op in my own game!

With all of that firepower, nobody should be left out of the action...

Tyr will be enough for everyone!

Hello, its the doctor again.

my patient has started to salivate again, i think, he smells M/AM's.

For your own safety, i suggest to get your bombers ready.

It took me quite a while to get rid of all the Thors, without getting Aggroed by the whole sector.(did it with a single ship) the Skirnirs, i snatched one by one, sold them, (kept one) and trained some marines with the money, and bought some solanos, to follow the tyr, so, i always knew where it was, and when it arrived back in Asteroid belt, it fell victim to a bunch of marines, that had never experienced an active assignment before. OK, Lost 4 of them in the process, but they would not talk anymore

In my game, there is only one ATI-ship, that is red to me, but it never attacked me since then.

Holy mother... 162 pages.

shilhi, please don't bump threads with meaningless posts. I think everyone can see how many pages there are.

Lancefighter · Post by **Lancefighter** » Fri, 18. Dec 09, 01:43

is it considered a bump if it was only 6 minutes after the post before it? I could understand if within those 6 minutes it was kicked off to the second page... but.. really? >.>

Also, I vote for taking the panther first... Id say its speed is much better for ferrying ships around.. Besides, it does indeed carry those PALCs...

Man, a Panther and a Tyr in your sights. Lucky. Dog. Of course, if you do go for the Tyr, what to do about weapons? I guess with 12GJ of shields, you can always go around ramming everything. At least that doesn't take any combat skills!

Although there are other risks, such as getting uncomfortably close to your enemy, and the risk of losing equipment through ramming. Jumpdrives in particular can get rather twitchy at such times.

Oh no, he was just pointing out a mistake is all.

Lancefighter · Post by **Lancefighter** » Sat, 19. Dec 09, 07:25

nanook: I spent the better part of the last half hour writing up why I havent done anything wrong, but something told me that none the less, I shouldnt be arguing your moderatorship on the open forum, even if I do feel it is in question. You shall indeed find yourself with a message.

Shilhi, thanks

Anti - Threadjack:
Tyr is damn hard to fit out... I think the panther is an awesome idea. Besides, I love panthers. >.>

Hmmm...I'm normally one for charging in blindly...I mean hell, I was one of the first to volunteer for the capture of the Phoenix. But this? That's an impressive amount of Thors, and the Thor is a really dangerous ship. The Skinirs are probably harmless (I've never seen an AI controlled one actually launch a missile) but the Yokahama, not so much.

That's a lot of firepower, and that's assuming for the moment that the Tyr itself is armed with only the pathetically weak PSG and not the significantly more dangerous (To fighters) Starburst cannons.

Unless you've got some Ender Gambit in mind, I'm going to go ahead and suggest that this one might be a wash, Cap'n.

On Skirnir's.
When I was capping my first Tyr, three of it's escort skirnir's launched Shadow missles at me. That required over 50 flails to intercept before they could kill me, so...
