Thinking about adding a Redeemer

SwaggerVex · May 31, 2015, 3:41pm

Afternoon all,

So I’ve been thinking about adding a Redeemer to my hanger and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the ship, and which division of ADI I should apply for with it?.

Fleet Security or Asset Protection

Well you have probably heard it is a boarding ship. With it’s large shield and docking collar it excels at reaching the target and delivering the boarding party. It also boosts a rather large cargo hold at 24 units, haha I don’t know myself but I can imagine having a remote combat droid or similar military equipment stored there. So its usage should provide usefulness within the marines. It’s also a very well armed with massive frontal firepower and crew quarters for long duration flights. Could be used as a deep space escort ship maybe? Anyways these are just my initial thoughts on the Redeemer. (+ the cockpit view looks amazing!)

At the time im writing this I would rather use a Prowler as a boardingship for boarding ships, the redeemer is more for landing on space station. But we will see in game ofcourse.

Never heard of the Prowler actually. Any details on why its a better boarding craft?

Esperia Prowler – Named after the UPE military designation, the Prowler is a modernized version of the infamous Tevarin boarding craft from the First Tevarin War. With the recent discovery of the lost Tevarin planet in Kabal System, Esperia’s engineers were given unmitigated access to examine the preserved ships found in several of the caches, before meticulously recreating the design choices. The Prowler’s effectiveness as a rapid personnel deployment vehicle was mainly due to its silence. The boarding was constructed using a variety of techniques to minimize its signatures and get close to unsuspecting vessels before quickly deploying their boarders via EVA. With the updated Prowler model, you will find the perfect fusion of two culture: the elegance and effectiveness of the Tevarin war machine combined with the reliability of modern UEE technology. (While lacking some of the upgrades of the modern version, vintage Tevarin-built Prowlers restored for modern spaceflight are prized by owners lucky enough to locate them.)

tbh until both are flyable we can’t really say one is better than any of the others the cutless and connie reworks could change how we view them completely or not at all.

although my redeemer is gonna be uber sexy when planetary assaults happen

Hey, thanks for the info. I think I’m going to hold off on it for a bit.
