Amedeus Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Is there a source that says the missile launchers are fixed forward? I picked up a Polaris as have been following every release of information on it I can and have never seen any official source talk about if the missile launchers are fixed forward, or swivel like a turret and are controlled by the weapons officer on the bridge?

They're listed as "anti fighter missiles", so I'd say swiveling is mandatory for tracking. AstroJak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my thinking and my hope and belief, hence why i'm asking these people who throw out "facts" saying they are fixed, whom never get back to me on where they heard that other, other then the old rumor mill down the street.

Devil Khan Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 the stats page. tbh the rest of the ships aren't swivel launchers. Anti-fighter means the standard missile as far as I know. Either way with only 2 launchers(not sure of actual specs) and both have only 16 missiles no extra reloads written down on the specs. can presume extra reload in cargo hold, but can't reload by them selves or with ease. Either way, not ship has a swivel launcher, even the Idris afaik. # For what I am thinking is a primary strike craft, with secondary security role.

VoA Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Few images from Voon on RSI Sure, here's a few orthographical views. Since it's a Holomodel, usually full of mesh errors, it's interestingly see through from the side This image has been resized to fit in the page. Click to enlarge.

MarcusReed Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Very sexy. Probably my favorite purchase in my fleet. I am interest to see more Tavarin ships and how they compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danakar Endeel Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 How to deal with a ship that's not going to be flyable for some time? Have it printed on canvas so you can look at it every day until it is! I had it printed on a 100cmx50cm frame and it's currently hanging in my little 'game room'. Eventually this particular piece will be displayed in my living room once the new wallpaper, laminate flooring and new furniture has gone in.

Boildown Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I've been thinking of getting some gaming screenshots printed from a place like Bay Photo. How did it turn out? Was the resolution more than enough? My concern is that a 1080p screenshot won't scale very big, and even with 4x DSR there might be limitations. I've also been collecting NASA images and will get them at the same time when there's a good sale. Edit: If that is actually hand painted, then that is really impressive.

Oh no, mine wasn't hand painted or anything; it was just printed on canvas at a shop in my country called Webprint.nl. They had a 50% off deal on their canvas stuff and just happened to have a 100cmx50cm frame as an option at the time. So in the end I got it for just around €40 including shipping which seemed like a pretty sweet deal to me. 1080p might end up a bit too rough around the edges and/or blurry. I also was considering some other images at first but decided against it as they were just too low-res. The Polaris image on the other hand was 5240x2614, fit the 100x50 frame perfectly and turned out great. Boildown and Scotterius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZ Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 When scaled to the dimensions specified on the RSI site, the Hurricane fits in the Polaris. Credit to Voon VoA, Kemalis and AstroJak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Khan Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yeah even then I think it was too big. there is over hangs lips which would make things smaller max size. we have the fighter sizes so that should be official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you're right as the hangar doors do not seem to open up all the way. It's a shame though as I think the Cutlass would have made the perfect all-purpose vehicle for the Polaris.

Devil Khan Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Also the cutlass height should be too high when it is fully redesigned for the hanger as the redeemer is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroJak Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Keep in mind, that based on cigs history, they will likely make the polaris into another frigate when alls said and done!! They just cant help upsizing everything.AstroJak Kemalis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Nah, I doubt it will increase to a frigate. It will be a possibility that it'll increase the length by 10-20m, but not the class sizing name. After all it doesn't have mini-carrier size hanger and have Sq42 placement "rooms". Anyway they won't want to make another corvette yet again Anyway, prefer that there is more than just 1 UEE corvette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I like the Polaris for Strike attacker or security craft on it's own (with whatever craft is in it's hanger), but any large craft then it should run. Even thought it is listed as a blockhead craft, I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
