Crud... I was really hoping it was going to be some one I have no issues shooting. That aside, congrats.

Imagine fighting a player controlled cappie...........

Congratulations!

You are the prove of what good planing, logistics and determination can reach!

Does it have any equipament port other than turrets? Shared or unique storage?

I told you you'd do it first, great jorb!

Thanks, Coach Z!

Moths+ late nights = cappie... I knew you guys 'd pull it off first!

CD, congratulations on your hard work finally paying off.

As Editor in Chief for Track and Pilot, a TGFT publication, we are seeking contributions from ORE on the subject of the Trident M.

An excellent piloting review will cover the following topics:

A) How many seats?
B) Do you like the cupholders?
C) Will it fit in a racing tunnel and do you plan to claim all of the "Best Time in a Trident" Awards until the next guild builds one?
D) Are the turrets customizable?
E) Ooooh, how much cargo space?

The answer to E is 400 cu.

A: 5
D: Yes, similar to moth/atlas turrets

Cranston:

A) 5: Pilot + 4 docked ships. I still need to test if more players ride along if turreted ships dock, and I'm also curious if /gunner invite works on the trident, and if so, can ships dock if 4 gunners are in place thru /gunner invite.

[Edit: /gunner invite works. now I need 5-8 volunteers to see if ships can dock if the gunners board at the station.]

B) Try pentric coasters on the cut marbled heliocene bar. That's just on the bridge. There's a swim-up bar in the crew lounge and a mini-bar in the captains quarters within reach of the hot tub.

C) No, and no. However, I may park at a racetrack and dance like Tawny Kitaen on the hood during races.

D) Standard Small Turret as per moth & atlas. I hope they will make some heavier weaponry available, such as the capital gauss turrets. Not holding my breath tho...

E) see: Full Stats

Thanks for sharing. Do you known its length?

Thanks for sharing. Do you known its length?

Insert obligatory 'That's what she said' joke here.

How does it fly?

For example, is it better than an XC with a full load of swarms?

Dimensions are a dev question. It is the same model as all tridents, as far as I know.

It flies much MUCH better than an over-weighted moth. Yes, slow maneuvers all around, but it has the thrust to do them responsively. Of course, I haven't tried flying it loaded with 400 adv rails or Samo...

Really? I thought ship length was usually listed with the other stats.

No length listed.

The wiki shows a big "unknown" on capship lengths. I'd be curious to know width and draft on all the cappies too, and metric displacement.

Last time I had to get the length of a trident I dropped a crate at one end and targetted it from the other with a small ship.

I forgot what was though. Somewhere between 200 and 300m.

So it comes with a special heavy powercell that's usable at -/-/-/-/- ? That's interesting.

210m long bow to stern,
110m wide at the engines

My helper didn't get a depth. Maybe 20-30m?
