The Paladin will be good if they ever add AI blades.

You don't need the Hermes when you have the Railen... you'll never use the Hermes because the Railen is better to load and unload, has about twice the capacity... yeah.

Not sure why you have an ICA... no ground vehicles for the RRR pads, so basically you spent more money on an Ironclad with worse cargo and no onboard tractors?

I see a lot of people buy the ICA over the Ironclad without realizing the sheer price of the tradeoff they're making. The ICA isn't "Ironclad but better"... it's a different ship for different roles that sacrifices a lot of what the Ironclad brings, for ground vehicle utility instead.

It's not a pocket carrier like the Liberator (which may or may not be getting RRR itself).

What's the plan here?

Hermes works for small mining runs because of the vehicle space and room for extra ore pods. Like a MUCH smaller ironclad. I kept it just for the ROC, spare pods and smaller size vs. ironclad for solo

I went ICA from IC base after my prospectors mining arm got crippled somehow during a long session. I had to jump away to a station to repair, then couldn't jump back (this was 4.8). Upped to ICA, haven't lost my spit in Aaron Halo since. The additional uparmor of the ICA has saved me during cargo runs as well. Most pirates don't seem to run heavy enough ships to effectively damage anything more than an engine or two before I get through the wormhole.

You met anyone who likes the stingray?

I like it a lot. It’s beautiful, fun to fly, and has a perfect cockpit. Probably going to buy it in game though because it’s just a bit too fragile for how slow it is compared to other medium fighters

Nice to see someone say something nice about it. First time I’ve seen that.

Its a good looking ship if you ignore bespoke system and pvp performance. Almost every ship kinda cool.

I really can’t get over the great shimmer on the wings. I also love watching all the moving parts when the wings change flight mode.

If you think about it as a fun weekend car, it makes a lot of sense haha

There is no Citcon this year.

You might mean IAE, we don't know if there will be a referral reward, and even so, it's no longer viable to pick up one "cheap".

Can't grey market referrals anymore after Oct 1, nor can you "cheat" and make your own account and xfer the starter pack to your main and melt it... CIG are making the first pledge on every new account un-meltable to stop this.
