But in addition to this, Cargo facilities will allow movement of haulage and the hangar essentially will allow you to carry a range of different smaller ships to areas outside of their usual reach. The Polaris will be versatile in the way you will be able to use it for things such as Strike Missions, Search and Rescue, and general patrol. What do you mean when you refer to the Polaris as being “versatile?” There are no plans to include an Argo at present. The other two capital-class ships like the Idris and the Javelin come with an Argo. While we may investigate after-market options to prevent this from happening in the future, there are no plans to do so at this time. You may find that cargo floating away when the hangar doors open in zero G. Strictly speaking, you can put whatever you want inside the hangar bay as long as you can make it fit, but the issue you may run into is the lack of cargo plates, like the ones found in the cargo hold, that allow you to attach your haul to the ship. The torpedo bay is non-modular, and will not be replaceable, as the ships main purpose is to bring firepower. Question & Answer If I wanted to use the Polaris to haul cargo, can I use the hangar bay for that? What about swapping out the torpedoes for additional cargo space? If so, how much cargo do you anticipate can fit using all the space available to me? Special thanks to Steven Turberfield for taking the time to answer these questions for us. The Polaris includes the facilities to repair, rearm and refuel a single fighter, light bomber or support ship. Intended for use as both a naval patrol ship and to serve as the flagship of militia operations, Polaris has the capacity to perform search and rescue operations, light strike missions and general security patrols. The Polaris is a nimble corvette-class capital ship that packs a powerful punch with a full armament of turrets and torpedoes. It is small enough to manage easily with one person and should be less costly to operate than most of the other options.The United Empire of Earth’s newest light capital ship is here, and you’re welcome aboard! The hotly anticipated RSI Polaris premiered at CitizenCon 2946 and today we’re happy to continue the Q&A series by answering your burning Polaris questions in this second and final part. Perseus if you are not looking for a ship with a hangar.So based on those thoughts just off the top of my head, I like the these ships: – minimal firepower for a ship this size (it is cargo more than combat of course).++ perfect for hot drops or just moving vehicles around.– no hangar but you can haul ships inside (snubs and light fighters fit well).++small size likely makes it very maneuverable.– no hangar (though it is a smaller ship so hangar would be impractical).– repair/operation of combat vessel likely higher than average.++low crew requirement for combat vessel.– combat vessel repair/operation costs expected to be on the high side.++ fairly small crew requirements for a combat ship this size.– operation/repair costs expected to be high for specialized vessel like this.+reasonable combat ability for an exploration vessel. +++Best of the best in multicrew exploration.+/- torpedo boat, with big nasty torps that can take out cap ships (also makes you a target).++ Low crew requirements for a combat ship of its size.++ Light fighter sized hangar (Gladius fits).– repair and operation costs are expected to be high.+/- may be able to hangar a Defender in specialized module (similar to Connie/Merlin).– – – not going to be in game for a long time to come.++modular design allows for LOTs of options.Going down the list that I pictured above: So could do with some guidance from people who know better than me. Will the Polaris be easier than the Kraken to run with a smaller crew? Will they have comparable running costs? I just think maybe the Polaris is a better option than the Kraken, even if I’m not going to be that combat-focussed, because it’s versatile and can be used for other things and more manageable. I have a Polaris in my buy backs and was thinking maybe I should melt the Kraken and get the Polaris back, then use that as a (smaller) mobile base instead. However, thinking about it recently I don’t think it’s likely that I’ll have a whole host of friends to really make use of it properly and am concerned also about the number of people required to just operate it, plus the (in-game) cost. Didn’t really want it as a fighter/ combat ship, more as a mobile base for friends and family and/or an org. I have a Kraken, and bought it because I liked the idea of a big, capital ship that could host several other ships.
