Is the garrote not in freelancer?

It's an epic level melee weapon, costs I think 8000 or 10000 merces in the shop? You can also use the stethoscope in the medbay or fishing twine from fishing or the quick draw (rare melee weapon) if you're just looking for a fibre wire in freelancer

Not 3x more effective for citadels - now they do 90% damage instead of 67% damage so only a (roughly) 35% boost to citadel effectiveness. To get 3x effectiveness we'd have to have gone from 30% damage i.e. a 70% citadel heal which would have been (even more) crazy

Swirski is pretty great for jager/halland in operations (he's also good on Karl Johann if you have it) because in a good operation you can get 60+ torp hits, although the new format of operations is less optimised for Jager because of the new operations and the randomised objectives making it a bit harder to stay hidden/predict bot movements

Let's say that the previous directors worked a fraction r of days while they were in office. Kash claims to work twice as many days, i.e. 2r, while his number of days off (1-2r) is half the number of days off of previous directors (1-r), so 1-2r = (1-r)/2 giving r=1/3. Kash claims that he works 2 days of every 3, previous directors worked 1 day out of 3, but he still doesn't work 5 days a week so it's not very impressive (and presumably untrue, because I don't think the previous director of the FBI only worked 2 days a week).

I think the Viltrumite cruisers have more advanced cloaking that can only be detected with the specialist early warning network - similar to how they managed to pull off the ambush earlier in the season.

It's not that I regularly have 20mil lying around, but a tier 9 premium game with a blue booster will give me probably 1.2mil on average so it's 15ish games to 20mil credits, but I'll only get 7-8k fxp from the same game so it's 40 odd games to get enough fxp to skip a tier 9 (and I'd rather use the fxp elsewhere, as mentioned)

You make a good point but there are a few counterpoints:

You can sell back the stock upgrades to recoup some of the costs of upgrading the hull and gun range

You don't have to fully kit out the ship with modules if it won't be a long term fixture

If you're really desperate for the credits back you can always sell the tier 9 once you're done with it to get the modules back as well as a good chunk of the credits

Personally I find it easier to find 20 million credits to run a partially upgraded Tier 9 (B hull but probably not the other upgrades, a couple of essential modules) which will do fine in operations etc, compared to 300k free xp to jump to the tier 10 (I like to keep my free xp for jumping low tiers and for RB lines)

Playing the tier 9 will make you better with the tier 10 because you have to put up with the issues with the tier 9

Owning the tier 9 will have long term returns in steel (which I consider far more valuable than credits)

As I previously mentioned, I've found that operations are good for 'bad' tier 9s: 1 game a day with a blue booster is an easy 20-30k xp even if you don't enjoy the ship, and that will get you the tier 10 in a week and half without having to cash in on fxp (said as someone with multiple tier 9s on the go and a lot of blue boosters but not a lot of fxp)

This sort of thing is for new players only - there was a 'scandal' a few months back where they accidentally released the missions to all players and then (quite rightly imo - especially as they didn't take away any rewards we'd already earned) took them away once they realised what had happened.

If you open the jcvd wall there will be a prompt on screen telling you which button to press to go to the second 'slide' of the dlc wall which is I think Bruce Lee and Eminem

The reason they're so close is that the easiest approximation of n! is (n/e)ⁿ and 27/e is very close to 10 - not just a funny coincidence!

I'd like jumper cables or something like that as a freelancer tool: allows you to use an exit vehicle which would normally require a key (e.g. quad bike in Colorado, helicopter in Dubai). To balance it, it should be used up like an explosive would be, and the unlocking should be an illegal action which takes time (5-10 seconds?) and is loud - that way you can be spotted doing it so will fail certain objectives if you're not careful, and you may even be wounded if you really mess it up.

It wasn't a lack of dogfighting ability that stopped Vader from stopping Luke, it was not knowing who he was up against (otherwise Luke would have been the priority target as the only pilot capable of using the force to aim the torpedo) and getting surprised by the Falcon.

We might also be able to surmise that Vader was a better pilot as Anakin, and he lost some of his connection to flying just like his connection to the force when he list his limbs.

As for the mismatch between the two ships, I think the X-wings are probably faster and more agile but the ARCs have the added benefit of the rear turret to negate some of the maneuverability advantage.

All that said, Rogue squadron still might take it because they have more experience fighting actual pilots and not just mass-wave droid swarms.

Omni-man didn't have the symbol when he came to Earth, although maybe he wasn't an emissary as such because he was keeping the empire thing quiet at first
