# Handbook TODO This is a list of things that need to be done for the handbook. ## Drills It's important for the a combat group to practice common scenarios that they may encounter in the field. This section will contain a list of drills that can be practiced to improve the group's performance. ### Cold Starts Going from a resting or respawn state to a combat-ready position such as a hangar or ship. | Member | From | To | Time | | ------ | --------------- | ------------ | ------- | | Collin | Area18 Hospital | Riker Hangar | 3:37.64 | ## Missile Boat We need a standard missile boat, a ship with a large missile payload for overwhelming enemy defenses with long volleys of missiles. Here is a table of potential candidates with the amount they can carry: | Ship | Stock | Max | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------- | | [Reliant Tana](https://starcitizen.tools/Reliant_Tana) | 20xS2 (20) | 8xS1, 16xS2 (24) | | [Cutlass Black](https://starcitizen.tools/Cutlass_Black) | 8xS2, 8xS3 (16) | 48xS1 (48) | | [Talon Shrike](https://starcitizen.tools/Talon_Shrike) | 24xS3 (24) | x | | [Gladiator](https://starcitizen.tools/Gladiator) | 8xS2, 4xS3, 4xS5 (16) | 32xS1, 4xS5 (36) | | [Freelancer MIS](https://starcitizen.tools/Freelancer_MIS) | 28xS3 (28) | 32xS1, 20xS3 (52) | | [Ares Ion](https://starcitizen.tools/Ares_Ion) | 20xS3 (20) | 16xS2, 12xS3 (28) | | [Ares Inferno](https://starcitizen.tools/Ares_Inferno) | 20xS3 (20) | 16xS2, 12xS3 (28) | | [Sabre Firebird](https://starcitizen.tools/Sabre_Firebird) | 24xS3 (24) | x | | [Constellation Andromeda](https://starcitizen.tools/Constellation_Andromeda) | 28xS1, 24xS2 (52) | x | Key takeaways: - The Andromeda and Freelancer are tied for the largest missile payloads - The Andromeda has a few more bigger missiles and has two turrets to help defend it, whereas the Freelancer only has one - The Talon Shrike and Sabre Firebird are worth considering as they are extremely fast and maneuverable but lack the long volleys of missiles that the Andromeda and Freelancer can provide - The Cutlass Black is a good compromise as it can hold 48 missiles (4 less than the Andromeda and Freelancer) but is slower and less maneuverable than the Talon Shrike and Sabre Firebird
