Is the Argo the best ship you can get ?

[Alia Halfleaf]

I just wondered as I heared in 1 HBS stream something about about another ship later on.

[darthkellin]

frist you get a smaller dropship a leopard then you get another one named the argo which is a moblie base

[MAD-3R_Marauder]

To answer your question more directly :) yes, the Argo is the best ship you can get.

As darthkellin said, she is an upgrade to your starting Leopard (a rather huge upgrade)

You can have a look at her here:

Leopard remains your deployment ship for missions. Argo is your mobile orbital HQ.

[Cyttorak]

What are you hoping for, a warship so you can do orbital bombardment?

They referenced two ships, the leopard and the Argo. The leopard has a name, it's just not as in your face as the Argo, and you change over fairly early in the story.

The argo looks completely safe. Ignore those giant holes in it, or the constant stream of garbage floating out as it sheds two centuries of pirate/squatter occupation.

I want to know how much pest control they had to do. There's no way that a vertiable floating city didn't have a sizable space rat problem after 200 years.

"What is it? Space herpe. Dormant form. Keep away from heat and moisture. Extremely dangerous when activated. Antibody. Oh boy. Unknown."

You call it a rat problem but the ships cook just calls is supplemental protein.

As soon as I saw the "pest control" sentence I thought ICE PIRATES!!!..
Then I saw the quote...EXACTLY

+5

"oh no, not again!"
"Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal! Send me your kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire! If you refuse me honey you'll lose me then you'll be left alone, oh baby telephone and tell me I'm your own!"

Your ship engineer outright states that they had to hose out the entire interior with industrial-grade disinfectant.

The Argo's more like a floating village, though. She's something like 300 meters long and has an estimated mass about on par with a supercarrier. Battletech ships are a hell of a lot more automated than modern naval ships, btw. The Behemoth, the largest cargo dropper class in the Inner Sphere and about the same size as the Argo, can run on as little as 50 crew.

In one of the more recent HBS and paradox strams I heard a quick reference to a possible 3rd ship later in the campaign. Can't remember the name they used off hand (possibly the Argo gets renamed at some point?).

Youre really showing your age with that one. lol

The Leopard’s name is Hysteria.

And there is no third ship in the game from what I have read or heard.

Is that serious, a Def Leppard joke or both?

From one of the twitch videos the developers mentioned that after you upgrade or manage to secure a jumpship your drop ship is dock to the side of the jumpship Argo.

The Argo is also a drop ship(just a bigger one that can act as an orbital base). It still needs to dock with a jump ship to travel between systems
