UPDATE: The new DMW Fleet Tool is now live and available here ...

http://77.108.135.2/dmwfleet/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We still have a few unknowns, but this is what the DMW Fleet is currently looking like.  I'm sure that by the time the game goes live we'll have more, but it's still a pretty impressive number of ships to launch with!

We should have four Constellations and four Auroras according to the player list.

Make them five Auroras once Tsuchino's application via the RSI page is accepted.

Must have miscounted, I got to 5 Aurora's this time (including those by deduction).    Still don't know ships for Suicidal, Jamoe, Snooks or Milli, but the OP has been updated with the new graphic.

Looking good, now we need a couple of Idris' and a Bengal to store everything in it :)

And a bunch more people manning all those turrets :/


Can you imagine the entire fleet as a single squad exploring together?  Perhaps we could sweep scan an entire system with a long line, grid by grid.

I figured we'd need a fuel transporter and refiner so I got a Starfarer.    And then i saw the Banu MM and fell in love with the shape, so they became early christmas presents from me to me!

:dribble:awesome

I haven't seen those in the shop, I'm guess you need to be a subscriber?
Title: DMW Fleet - Status Update
Post by: Gorion on February 05, 2014, 01:39:53 PM
Well, the Starfarer will definitely come in handy when exploring, even though fuel sharing whilst moving is disabled.

The other big ships can also share fuel.  Have an image in my head and logically it would end up with the tanker supplying the cargo carriers (Constellations and Banu), then the cargo ships transferring to the fighters.  If I recall right, Constellations have 3/4 docking ports, no idea on how many ships can be docked at one go though.

@Jamoe

Banu was a sale, not sure about the Starfarer, but could also have been a sale.  There were also some Vanduul Scythes sold.

Post by: TeaLeaf on February 05, 2014, 01:46:20 PM
No, they're not a subscriber-only ship, they are ships sold for a limited period of time last year.  

If you want one of these 'not currently on sale' ships (or you want a ship with LTI - which stopped on 26/11/13) then you can buy them on a secondary market.  There's quite a few places you can buy previously sold ships as an RSI account let's you 'gift' a ship to another RSI account (see picture), so you find someone with the ship you want and then make a deal with them.

Title: DMW Fleet - Status Update
Post by: TeaLeaf on February 13, 2014, 01:13:02 PM
I think there will be more ships available at a later date, if you scroll back through the different funding goals then there's a queue of ships still under development.   I'm particularly looking forward to the Anvil Carrack amongst others, the whole exploration and utility aspect is highly appealing.    Buy now though and you get to melt the ship and swap it for a different one at a later date I'm guessing.

Well, the funding will hit $40million in the next couple of weeks and the slots left to allow play in the Alpha will drop like a stone as they near zero.

So tell them ... GET IN NOW!

If they want to know why we're all so excited, listen to this guy at the start of his Constellation review. Kinda sums it up for me.

Not quite sure what you mean, but the fleet graphic is produced on an independent website and not via RSI.  I wish RSI did produce something like that though, it would be kinda cool.
Title: DMW Fleet - Status Update
Post by: Gorion on April 14, 2014, 01:59:25 PM
In the organisation page there's two unlit links named Chart and Fleet View.

On the SC wiki, they are explained as follows:

Visual Chart â€" An interactive display showing all of your organization’s divisions, jobs and members.
Fleet View â€" See your group’s ships!


I thought that the graphic was being produced by the Fleet View link..

I've bought the Aurora MR+ package as I think I know someone who will regret not getting a ship before all the slots were gone (less than 500 as I type).

If they don't want it then I'm happy for it to be a DMW reserve ready for when a member realises that they just might have missed the boat on this one :)

I've updated the current fleet list as best I can, but I still think we're missing several ships from the list as I count 44 ships but see 40+ members - and I know several members who have multiple ships!    Hopefully the RSI Fleet tab will become activated soon and make this thread obsolete!    

In the meantime, please admire the size of our current DMW Fleet:

The other half of the money I got from the Cutlass went in to an Avenger.

Aurora, 315p, Avenger, and a Freelancer.

Sign me up for a F7C-S Hornet Ghost too.
I didn't think we had one of those. :doh:

I think this graphic needs some updating as it is *way* out of date now!   Think we might need to re-survey everyone again to get anything like good data - or we could wait for the fleet functionality to go live on the RSI website?   What do people want us to do: re-survey or wait?

It's a brilliant summary of where we are and it really would be fantastic to get everyone's answers in.  We've already got more ships than the graphic in the OP, even with 12 members sitll to reply, so let's try to finish the survey off by this weekend please!

Title: DMW Fleet - Status Update
Post by: Justin Tolerable on September 28, 2014, 10:54:44 PM
Yep, that's my thinking too. I melted my Aquila for the Reclaimer, on the basis that I'd end up with a Carrack too at some point. If it's very expensive, I might not bother. I can refit the Phoenix or pick up the DUR.

Nothing exciting, just chopping and changing, to be honest i'm getting a little sick of ALL the ship sales, not spending any more money now on SC, melting only. I'll be keeping my Lancer MIS as i think it's about the best armed cargo ship that can be piloted solo without too much loss of functionality, the other stuff in my fleet will probably all get melted for either a Carrack or Connie Aquilla before launch.

Seems we don't have many/any Torpedo boat/Anti cap ship types ? No Gladiators, Retaliators, even MIS Freelancers......i'm not sure if my theory is any good, but it seems like now we have an Idris & an 890 then the potential for Cap ship confrontations is possible and in that case we need some Anti Cap Ship .... ships ?

Feel free to rearrange my logic :D

One of those MIS's is mine i believe, IF the Retaliator turns out like everyone sensible hopes (decent cargo and possibility to refit to anti-cap torpedoes), the MIS may go in part-ex for it, and like you I have a close eye on the Carrack, if that doesn't turn out as I hope then i'll probably go for an Aquia..... i'm NOT having more than 3 ships at PU Launch..... currently that 3rd is an M50 but racings not up my street now i've tried it so god only knows what that single seater will get CCU'd too !

Post by: Justin Tolerable on October 12, 2014, 11:14:47 PM
It would be nice to have some ships tailored to taking out retaliators and caterpillars. The Idris will have a full compliment of hornets / super hornets, but is a huge target. After the carrack I'll be done, so can't pick up a Retaliator etc.  

I'm planning to melt the reclaimer later, I think. I think I want the Carrack more, but we'll see how the concept pans out.

I reckon we'll be best off keeping the 890 in safe space, for social stuff (and racing). Or as part of a large fleet going into unknown space, with the Idris there too.

Quote from: Justin Tolerable;389198It would be nice to have some ships tailored to taking out retaliators and caterpillars. The Idris will have a full compliment of hornets / super hornets, but is a huge target. After the carrack I'll be done, so can't pick up a Retaliator etc.  

I'm planning to melt the reclaimer later, I think. I think I want the Carrack more, but we'll see how the concept pans out.

I reckon we'll be best off keeping the 890 in safe space, for social stuff (and racing). Or as part of a large fleet going into unknown space, with the Idris there too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the rock/paper/scissors goes Idris/ Retaliator/Hornet(s) ? IDRIS will wreck fighters, but torpedoe ships pose a problem, but torpedo ships are not good vs multiple fighters.... That's right I think ?

Basically if we have some torpedo ships it keeps opposition cap ships honest and at a safe distance I think...

The 890 is interesting, it's certainly not underpowered on paper, I can see many "pirate" gangs getting there backsides kicked thinking its a soft target because it's "Luxury"... Especially if you can leave the 85x at home and squeeze a fighter in there instead :boxing:

This is true - hornets and MIS should be enough. Or would have been nice to get some better point defence in the Idris for torpedo's, but hey.

The 890 is no slouch, but as the stats stand the power plant is overly small. So it might not be able to run everything at once. Theory crafting here, but I suspect I'll have to take a lot of power from the engines just to keep the weapons and shields up.

Two bridges. Sounds to me like the whole ship will go into lockdown. The power to the hot tub would need to be cut.

Bah... What's the point if the Captain can't sit in his hot tub whilst telling the crew to "Make it so !" :-)

Now all I can picture is Picard in his tub of Earl Grey. Hot.

I was interested to read about the battle bridge on the sales page, but I can't find this battle bridge in the plans. Am I missing something?

How do I add my ships to the Fleet tool?  I've tried using my forum credentials, but it doesn't seem to want to let me in?

You should have a pm with the credentials in it

Obsydian, you should have had a PM from Oldbloke giving you your specific login details for the fleet tool.

Hi Guys

I've been asked by a few people whether it would be possible to see who owns which ships. So I've made a change whereby you can say whether you're happy for your fleet to be made public or to stay private. You can change this using the button at the bottom of your ship list.

If you make your fleet public then it will only be viewable by logged-in DMW members on a ship-by-ship basis.

I've made my fleet public so you can see how it will work - simply hover your cursor over the ship names.

Please do not feel you have to make your fleet public. The choice is entirely yours.
