Oooh , toys for the boys...

Thanks inc

You guys are lucky I live so far away, or I'd kiss you.

damn! what happened to the nyrius moth embargo?!?!

Yay for the Behemoth Xylophone Carrier!

I didn't know Niki knew how to play the xylophone. :P

/me waits for reports to nerf the uber-Hog^h^h^h mining marauder...hehe

Pfft the hog is still snuggly soft. Decreasing the drain doesn't help it in combat, it only gives it some legs.

ooooo. a fatter moth.

Ok, I can understand removing the ports, maybe even decreasing the thrust, but did they have to make them out of paper? I'd fire those engineers....

On a related note, the new tung maud is kickass. Sure it's slow and easy to kill, but it's still damn fun to put jacks on and watch the fireworks. Tunguska FTW!

not only is it paper, it is thin paper.

Now it is not even possible to take a minimum of damage while running... any damage is too much. And it is not as if it can run fast, which is ok.

Can you please ramp up the armour to 15000 or above? Just so we can survive going outside of nation capitiol sectors:)

It's TPG pride and joy. You UIT wussies should know better then criticize the only VO ship provider. :P

The papermoth is a great incentive for teamwork. A reason to convoy, and I welcome it.

That is exactly right, Demonen

Unfortunately, it's even harder to defend than the standard Behemoth, and THAT has weapons.

"The papermoth is a great incentive for teamwork. A reason to convoy, and I welcome it."

'tis a great incentive fer Piracy! Yar!

Not even an escort of 5 valks and a full strikeforce armed t' th' teeth can stop me hog from blowin yon XC outta the sky... only thing a team is good fer is defendin' the cargo once their moth is space dust! An' that, matey, is a good reason tae be a pirate... 'tis time fer th' traders t' pay their dues if'n they want t' live!

Get yer day pass in advance and save 10%! /msg Annihilat0r and arrange t' pay me 180,000 cred b'fore ah message you an' demand 200k! void where prohibited or haulin' expensive cargoes without an escort, or if ah jus' plain dun like ya!

Sounds like what we need is a few ships with very large cargo space and a lot of armor, but no guns, low maneuverability and high thrust. Maybe a shielded variant. If there's no payoff (high cargo capacity) to flying a weaponless ship, there's no reason to fly one, and therefore no reason to escort one.

"low maneuverability and high thrust."

Umm, unless you're talking Spin Torque, thrust == maneuverability.

Did you mean low top speed? because that's what I think we need... something that can't run, but has the armor to cope with some abuse, giving its escorts time to defend it. As it is, even a govbus can pop a moth XC in a couple seconds, and it takes even less time than that to line up a shot and kill it if you're flying something more lethal. Escorts wouldn't even have time to react, much less interdict, distract and destroy an attacker.

Why are Cunjo and annihilat0r both posting in the same thread? Outside of RP, I never used Ory'Hara or Ason Clavick for something that dumb.
