DMW Fleet - Status Update

[TeaLeaf]

Aye, I was waiting for a new one to be released with all of the ships!  But that one is still way more accurate than the old one :thumbsup:

Linking an updated fleet sheet thingy.  There are some ship variants missing from the tool, so not all of them are represented.

Still, a lot more current info-graphic than the present one..

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

I reckon we'll have plenty of time to gather them, either before launch or in-game.

This is true, i have a Lancer MIS & an LTI Aurora package & a bunch of store credits waiting to flourish into a Retaliator :norty:..... I was just wondering if anyone else was planning on acquiring one of any type ?

We've got 4 Freelancer MIS boats. Should pack a punch but point taken.

Not got my eye on any combat ships to be honest. I'm looking for an Orion and a Carrack.

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 !

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.

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:

[Justin Tolerable]

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 !" :-)

[Galatoni]

Don't ruin star trek for me!

[Justin Tolerable]

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?

[OldBloke]

Cutlass variants added to the DMW Fleet Tool.

[Obsydian]

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?
