Giving up a Thursday evening to do point defence sounds preferable to cleaning out the Head, which I presume will be a thing in the future. :)

Great theory crafting topic. Love the natural clash that viable small and large orgs could but don't have to have. A widely focused org vs a narrow is probably the most relevant. Pretty amazing how easy it would be to slightly change setups for large effects. Salvage fleets were interesting.

Love the idea of theory crafting for when the game really gets to a point when this is possible. I am so so hyped for the future when all of the features are added in and massive fleets like this and huge wars would be actual things that could happen

I like the idea of the Perseus in a small org. or group since it can run efficiently with 4 crew. As it's supposed weakness is fighters, a very overlooked ship is the Retaliator torpedo platform, which has 5 turrets that could handle fighters. Paring 1-2 of these W/Perseus, especially when blades/npc are ingame. You could protect Perseus and take on Capitols with confidence, as an attack/raiding or escort group. Now think of the Retaliator base model with modularity, that has troop drop pod, cargo and who knows what else for $150. at this time. As the Org. grows, so can your options with modularity. That's why I would add the Caterpillar for cargo, to help fund and supply org. In future modules, medical, troop, salvage, SAR, and selling items have been mentioned for it. It is my belief that ships outfitted with tractor beams will be important in recovery ops. That's why I like the Taurus, it's a mini C2. With pilot controlled S 4 and 5 weapons and 24 S 2 missiles + top turret S 2, bottom turret tractor, it's not bad. Can be used for troop insertion with a combo of Ursa rovers or Cyclone MT (3 person), 2 Ursa will give you gun racks/armor lockers 8 jump seats same as the Spartan , but not all in one place, redundancy is good. Star citizen is a great place for the imaginative minded.

In terms of logistics, I think the hauling Conny is a good start for such a playstyle. It is much easier to assemble a quick fleet with a handful hauling Connys and Cutty Blacks into some kind of armed merchant fleet for combat logistics. With this type of assembly, this fleet could also become a fire support element attached to any core combat fleet. On another note, until the sovereignty system is fully realised in-game, keeping a sizeable standing player fleet won't be much sense. That said, the organisations will probably focus more on personnel development goals such as making money and training combat skills. I would imaging that conflicts between organisations would most likely be sparked under some sort of NPC contract. In that case, players are likely to be the additional elements rather than the backbone of the main combat fleet. Despite all that, I would really like to see some player vs player fleet combats that could escalate into multiple systems and have a good time and laugh.

Another excellent vid lad. Very interesting theory crafting on PMC's.

I would have added an A2 to the ground section of the fleet over one C2. The fleet needs more bombers maybe trade a redeemer for a retailiator

for a 5 person org, I'd have an Eclipse (best mercenary craft), a Vanguard (warden or sentinel, best defense craft), and a Gladius. For the 30 person org, I'd add a Kraken, a Retaliator, another Vanguard and 3 more Gladius to the. You could cruise with a convoy and deploy the light fighters should you run into trouble and the heavy fighters could petrol with you, always ready to intercept an interceptor. The Retaliator is 150$ and can take out 3 Capital ships, while defending against heavy enemy combatants like fighters (since the Retaliator has 5 turrets). For a 100 person org, I'd sell the Eclipse so I could make room for 2 Kraken, with 12 Gladius (repel enemy fighters), 4 Vanguard (long distance/heavy fighter defense), 2 Retaliators (Capital killers), and an Idris-P (upgraded, or M variant, crew of 10 players) or a Polaris for space combat, the Idris would be best to defend against a fighter swarm while the Polaris has overwhelming firepower against large ships with its 28 S10 torpedoes to take out a fleet of Idris/Hammerhead/heavy gun ships/landing craft like M2. For the landing force I'd have 4 M2 Starlifter's that carry 2 Ballista's, 2 Ursa Rover's and 4 Nova's, with 8 Marines in the armory or in the Ursa Rover's. While the landing force isn't landing, they could man an Odyssey, a Starfarer, a Crucible and 5 Vultures (vultures would be carried on Odyssey and Idris). Talk about a landing force, with decent sustainment capabilities. If it were a player cap of 110, I'd include the Polaris and Idris, but as it stands you'd have to choose between the two, or eliminate a Starlifter; it's also possible to scrap the retaliators for 2 Eclipse, and get the Polaris that way, but Retaliators (fully manned) are OP, DPS like a heavy fighter/light gunship, and missiles to sink a Capital. This force could also be divided into multiple divisions, with Retaliators and Vanguards defending a convoy while the main fleet does a landing mission, or the Retaliators could break up and have 2 Vanguard escorts to harass enemy supply lines. Or even into 2 separate landing forces, with the Idris, 1 Retaliator, a Kraken (its 6 Gladius) and half the landing force taking one base while the 4 Vanguards and 1 Retaliator guard the Kraken and landing force (with their compliment of 6 Gladius). It would be a very stout force to try and intercept, even divided.

This is where this game shine! Organizations are not needed for multiplayers play.

The data on the redeemer is inaccurate ~top gun reference. Pilot > 2x s4 Manned Turret x2 > 4x s5 each Remote Turret x2 > 4x s3 each The redeemer is too OP in my opinion. Hammerhead has 24 weapon hardpoints and requires 2 s3 powerplants and coolers to make them functional. Redeemer has 18 weapon hardpoints and somehow only requires 1 s3 powerplant and cooler to make it functional. Your fleet with the Polaris would be quickly overwhelmed by a fighter wing attack. The polaris has some anti fighter ability but it is half what a hammerhead has. So you need to be attacking a target with no fighter cover. You only have a single fighter cover for your perseus and polaris. Perseus has very limited fighter cover weaponry. 2 turrets with 2x s3 each. If you go up against a target with 4 heavy fighters and a retaliator or 2, you will be in for some trouble. I would ditch a redeemer and add 2 more fighters.

Your voice over audio is really low, would definitely recommend raising it. Cool video, cheers. Keep it up!

How do you get organised? please help me... generally. Any tips on time management?

The perseus is way overpriced , but im starting to realise thats the armour..all heavy armoured large ships seem to have 500 dollar's + and this thing has Thiiiick armour , bespoke guns and bespoke ammo , i got mine as an early pledged carrack upgrade so it worked out a fair bit cheaper :) people say that its weakness is going to be fighters , but i honestly think theyre forgetting about that armour...how many fighters have guns that can pierce corvette armour? Not a tool for every job , but a solid escort and harrasser for all ship sizes :) and as the inforunners said , a medical bay is not really suited for a pocket destroyer. I do love her and cant wait to have her operational in the verse

I think you got this one wrong straight off the bat, Polaris is definitely the way to go for a 5 man crew, has all the needed facilities and carries a fighter. The Perseus is a great ship but plays a niche role, its also something I'd never recommend to buy as its far too overpriced. Perseus is definitely more suited in bigger organisations, and as part of a fleet.

Why no Apollo in any of the ground fleets?

No such thing as to many ships :)

It’s so weird hearing creators talk about concept ships and concept mechanics like NPC crew mates talking like they’re already released and in game.

declined, shame.

you have no idea what ur talking about
