Isn't rebuy cost kind of trivial at higher levels? maybe something increasing and with a cd, kinda like how respecs used to work back in vanilla wow if you ever played that.
I think the reasoning might have been how it would be really cheesy having a "jump ship" with nothing but a huge FSD and basically anything else, then a "combat ship" with shitty jump range, and being able to swap them almost on the fly. But I agree, more options for convenience would have been great, it could have been a money sink too.

Anyone around 17D to give an update of what's up?

>>168336837
Yes. But FDev's 'improvements' to features are generally minimal and do not actually achieve what the players wanted anyway.

As a general rule they don't actually improve things. The entire game is a first pass that never went under revision and instead was pushed out the door.
>>
>>168339742
Bullshit, the primitive haphazardly assembled management sim layer in X games was never good.

Story was always filler garbage.
>>
>>168338318
>Isn't rebuy cost kind of trivial at higher levels?
My FdLs rebuy is 11mil I can reasonably do that 20 times before I'm in trouble.

It's only trivial for a select group of players.
>>
>>168337014
Balance of what? This isn't like EVE where logistics of materials and resources actually have effects on a functional economy and other players.

If player A tranfers his ship across the bubble in a few seconds who gives a shit? How exactly does that effect anyone else? There's nothing to balance.
>>
>>168337621
Fairly sure it's a hardpoint. There's one of the bottom too that they showed off in camera mode.

But I agree, more options for convenience would have been great, it could have been a money sink too.

No way there is a much better built in game mechanic.

The shipyard is required for a ship transfer
Paying for a transfer to be instant could have just been your insurance paying the cost of dismantling the ship at one location for parts and rebuilding it at the other location.

They could have just played a little cut scene of your ship being rebuilt

No. X actually has has a functional world even if it's populated entirely by NPCs. Elite is a like a loony toons scenery painted on a canyon wall. Go too close and you smack into it.

>>168340357

Elaborate on this, and nefore you say MUH CHANGING PRICES keep in mind how miniscule is that and prices change in ED too.

>like a loony toons scenery painted on a canyon wall
But that's literally X3 where planets are 2D backgrounds, At least ED has realistic 3D space.
>>
>>168340663
Been awhile since I played X but I thought NPCs in the X games actually exist. They travel around their routes buying and selling things.

Whereas Elite's NPCs are generated when you pop into an instance and disappear when you leave.
>>
>>168340663
I assume something to the extent of not having randomly named mr pirate that appears on your ass no matter where in deep space you are throwing a canned line at you before attacking, but rather having something closer to SC's subsumption where the NPCs actually move from place to place and prices are a function of a real economy, though I could be wrong.
>>
>>168340663

As far as I know, X3 had an economy that entirely ran itself, the only "cheat" being that NPC Solar Power Plants didn't actually need any resources to produce fuel to ensure that the entire thing never ground to a halt.
>>
>>168337621

I have that ship, it opens up and reveals an orange glowing thing when you're on high heat (I'm guessing anyway, since I was fuel-scooping at the time). Heat sink or something.

Flying back to the bubble from Colonia is suffering.
>>
>>168340031
>It's only trivial for a select group of players.
It's usually that "select group of players" that would like to take advantage of an instant transfer like that, and they should, but there should also be some sort of soft-capped limit, so that's why I said an increasing cost with a cooldown could have been a good compromise.

>>168340046
I would assume they want to reinforce the strengths and weaknesses of the different ships types and outfits.

>logistics of materials and resources actually have effects on a functional economy
The BGS, even if shitty and shallow, it's still there.

>>168341386
I wanted to do it once just to do it. Not like there's anything else to do in this game.

I saw more people in once place in Colonia than I ever do in the bubble. Feels more lively somehow.

CGs to build a frame shift jump gate between the bubbles would be cool but the explorer Dad's would probably bitch and moan about how easy kids would have it if that happened and that in their day they jumped 1000 times, uphill, bothways and they liked it.

I dunno, it spins around and shit, then closes when you move away from the star as you cool (I think that's why it closes anyway)

They also exist in ED since couple of recent patches, they have logical routes and you can follow them from sc to normal space.

>>168340907
>randomly named mr pirate that appears on your ass
But that happened in X too, what the fuck?
>closer to SC's subsumption where the NPCs actually move from place to place and prices are a function of a real economy
Since when SC has real economy and NPCs?

>>168340989
Again, prices change in ED too, both from your actions and actions of others. Maybe not to a scope you imagine it too but ED has a bigger world also.

At that point question is, why not play a competent tycoon sim from the get go instead of a buggy and basic as fuck slapped on mess of code you need to sorta make work through mods?

>>168340190

While that is true, it doesn't really change anything. NPC ships were generated on the fly, and shooting them down did nothing but ruin your reputation with that faction. IIRC you could literally camp a certain station and kill any ship coming out of it, and they'd never stop coming.
>>168340989
X3 tried to have a functional economy, but failed spectacularly. Any production chain more complicated than A+B is guaranteed to grind to a halt. Advanced weapons pretty much never get produced ever, and you can't even deliver the resources yourself because the game removes "unprofitable" factories automatically. AFAIK you have to wait for one of the weapons to spawn in one of the trading stations, then use a duping exploit to get more of them, just to fully equip one heavy fighter.

If it was a car, it would be a full size sedan. Not great and worthless on a track, but it can get out of it's own way.

325a: wildcard. wait for the rework. the meme is it has an advanced weapons radar.

Avenger: I assume you mean the Warlock, which is very useful in a team, otherwise, it's a slightly better starter ship.

Gladius: Actual combat ship. Best missile load of the three. Need a Hornet or Sabre for a better fighter.

>>
>>168348931
isn't the cutl;ass a lot more of a wildcard at this point? it's rework is actually in progress, and it's pretty significant, changing the entire shape of the ship and it's thruster location and center of gravity, while the 300 series rework has not started and may not change the flight model whenever (if) it does happen.
>>
>>168350823
Not really. The 300 series is functionally broken as a design and has to have something significant done to make the ships usable with item 2.0 and cargo. The Cutlass was changed a lot, but inside it's own footprint. As far as handling, it should be better than a Lancer but not quite a Vanguard.

300 series rework could be anything from a cargo pod and re-skin to a whole new ship. If they don't mount a cargo pod under it, it will almost have to grow in size.
>>
>>168351340
>If they don't mount a cargo pod under it
pretty sure they said that's what they're gonna do. I don't think it's broken at all, the 325a is one of the better ships I've rented. the biggest problem it has is with a mechanic that doesn't exist yet, so I wouldn't be holding my breath for that rework.
>>
>>168351569
>>168351340
Yeah, I think the long touted 300 series rework, is gonna be more like the 2.6.1 super hornet update. It'll get some cosmetic polish to bring it in-line with item2.0 and the Origin style guide (85x established) rather than a full rebuild like the Cutlass.
>>
>>168351569
The 300i strafes left constantly, unless they fixed that. 315p has a tractor beam, jump scanner, and jump drive that won't even be usable until 3.1 for tractor beam and 4.0 for any jump points, 325a is supposed to do some shit with its radar but who knows, and the 350r is too heavy to compete with M50 and Razor.

Try a M50 with Strife mass drivers for a rental. Amazeballs.

>>168351762
Who knows? I think the cargo pod is a patch, and not really well thought out given all the wasted space in the current design. I would be surprised if CR lets it go at that.

>>168352653
Which Cutlass? Black doesn't afaik. It might be integral to cargo, so we get tractor beams in 3.0. I think 3.2 with salvage is more likely.

I coudl absolutely see it getting a cargo pod, but not a "box" a la Aurora. Some sort of sleek teardrop shaped (BMW + space wasting) underbelly pod, to go with its general space-wasting design. It supposed to be a style over substance type vehicle (but still functional) so, why not?

I'm in Quince and I've gotten my Imperial rank up to neutral and they are giving me Imperial Navy smuggling missions. Are these rank missions? Will ranking up improve the payout in Quince? I get 400-500k max per mission and I'm fully allied with the 4 factions. I have almost enough for a Fed Funship, core internals, and rebuy.

Should I do the smuggling mission and come back? I'm about halfway to my goal, but I'll run this smuggling mission and rank up if I can speed this up a bunch.
>>
>>168357141
yes no no
>>
>>168357141

Increased Rank with the higher up faction doesn't give increased payout. 99% sure on that.

Only the local rep+combat rank counts in that.

The old BRRRRRT build with incendiaries plus corrosive and emissive still works, but is much less effective on hulls now due to the loss of the kinetic damage last patch. Grinding down hulls takes more time. You might want to swap some MCs for OC autoloaders to retain the kinetic damage against hulls. Works for PvE at any rate.

The PvP meta is probably OC High Yield cannons plus corrosive plus cancer topedoes.
>>
>>168366928

The Gunship is really fun, if you want to Engineer a ship for combat it's one of the better choices available.

You might want to drop the undersized S5 HRP for a Fighter bay as Fighters do quite a bit of damage (roughly the same as 2 Large hardpoints). If you go for an AI fighter, raise one from the lowest possible rank so they don't jew you out of extra money. Give them a Taipan as the AI can't cope with how agile the GU fighter is.

Can you get in a Hornet or whatever just by grinding in-game?

What do you get for your $180 that distinguishes it from the $35 starter package?

Sorry, let me rephrase.

Is it shit because it's p2w and unless you spend irl money, you can't get the nice ships?

so people who paid now for those ships will NEVER EVER pay to get them back when destroyed?
>>
>>168392721
>lifetime insurance
As far as I can tell, if you backed before Nov 26 2012, your ship hull (not modules/cargo) gets replaced, possibly for free, in the event of destruction or in-game theft. Stealing it is 'allowed' though, the consequences are in-game and avoidable by going to pirate bases or whatever.
>>
>>168393130
yeah
>>
>>168393130
>so people who paid now for those ships will NEVER EVER pay to get them back when destroyed?
Only before Nov26 2012 I think, after that the insurance lasts a few (five?) months or something.
>>
>>168393130
if they don't skip the cooldown timer,no

>>168393130

>>168393318

>>
>>168393540
Every new ship comes with LTI,you can upgrade that ship to another and still keep the LTI
>>
>>168393318
>what happens if you steal a life time insured ship?
>will the insurance carry over to you?

All there is to go on is the FAQ so we can't say for sure but what the FAQ says is (and it includes the word 'probably'):
* the insurance only transfers if 'legally' gifted in-game
* after the insurance claim, the hull ID becomes tagged as stolen
* stolen hulls cannot be sold in 'legal' ship vendors (pirate bases maybe though)
* police who scan the ship will identify it as stolen
* lawful bases will not permit the ship to land
* it 'may' be possible to purchase a new forged hull ID from pirate bases
* presumably, selling before the insurance claim will be profitable
* there are 'consequences' for insurance fraud, including revoking the lifetime insurance and in-game fines for the other party

So it seems like stalking backers and stealing their capitals could be profitable if you did it right. Hot-foot it for a pirate base and rebadge it and you have a legal capital.
Or steal their fighter and sell it asap, if you're quick enough then you make cash. Maybe try and leave them stranded somewhere so that you can land and sell it before they can claim?
>>
>>168393627
So it isn't "Only before November 2012" because no one isn't going to take that deal if they know about it
>>
>>168393842
The insurance isn't going to carry over to other ships or cover upgrades like weapons or powerplants that are the real moneysinks(in ED atleast)

The fuck is this?I can't cash it in

>>168393959
Yeah I know how it works, I was just wondering why early backing was relevant. They made ships like the dragonfly, argo, 85x and razor specifically because they're small enough to let people upgrade to get the good ships with LTI.
The thing is CIG will want new people buying SC when it comes out, and making LTI that big a deal will drive them the fuck off.

Though I can't wait for the forums to change from "it's not p2w it's just a minor perk" to "this doesn't feel like enough of a reward please increase it".

At this point I don't know why I'm doing it, but goddamn am I going to have amazing ships once this is done.

One day of resource farming on a couple planets coupled with some wandering around looking for signals and some light bounty hunting for simple parts gave me enough resources to work on multiple ones for days

there is no leadership group. there is a core of ten or so chat regulars, but it cycles through based on who is spending a lot of time there. the core group changes month to month. there is only one real 'leader' and he doesn't lead anything, he rarely even plays when there's a game night. the guy I assume you're talking about has hardly even been dropping in for the past year and mostly plays elite.

You know, all the good stuff is AFTER 3.0 and we only get multiple systems in 4.0 which was slated for 12 months after 3.0 during Citizencon which we now know was nowhere near ready, either being lies or CR being clueless.

How many more ships are they going to release because at this rate I want to forget this game for another year at least.

That would be Eve.

I played in a Dad-corp in Eve. Mostly single guys and far more easy going than the whingers in this thread would suggest but basically the same demographic.

Elite could do worse than become Eve with joysticks but doing it off sales alone would be hard.

>* presumably, selling before the insurance claim will be profitable
>Hot-foot it for a pirate base and rebadge it and you have a legal capital.
Or steal their fighter and sell it asap, if you're quick enough then you make cash. Maybe try and leave them stranded somewhere so that you can land and sell it before they can claim?

I don't know where you're getting this idea. The only way your stolen ship is not getting almost immediately flagged as stolen is if you leave the aggrieved party stranded on a rock in the middle of no where. Even then, you won't be able to sell the ship legally. It just won't be marked as stolen. There's no way you can legally sell a ship without being its registered owner.
>>
>>168393842
>So it isn't "Only before November 2012"

No. It was, then there was was such an uproar over it and little $$$ signs started spinning in chris and ben's heads, and first they made new concept ships still available with LTI, then there was a huge uproar about that from the 2012 backers, so ever since they've been selling what are essentially "LTI tokens" in the form of $30 concept ships which allow you to upgrade practically everything to LTI with minimal cost with a bit of store jiggery. As a consequence, the grey market collapsed and LTI is worth like $5 over a regular ship.
>>
>>168408886
>There's no way you can legally sell a ship without being its registered owner
ok, I haven't played SC, I just figured there was an ingame shop for buying and selling ships similar to Privateer or Elite.

If it hasn't yet been claimed on insurance, I'd sort of expect that you could sell it. That was implied by the FAQ.
>>
>>168394548
>making LTI that big a deal.

The fascinating thing about all of this is that no one (not even CIG) knows how much LTI will be "worth". We do know that it made CIG millions and millions of dollars though.

Really though, LTI will probably be worth practically nothing for smaller ships, all the way up to things ike the idris-m --a full frigate hull with military weapons and equipment--- will be priceless.
>>
>>168409509
I wonder how "realistic" the entire insurance model will be.

Will your STI premium go up if you've had a substantial number of claims in a given period?

Can your STI/LTI be revoked if you turn pirate, and UEE Insurance Company decides you are a criminal?

Will premium/criminal status be tied to your character or the hull?

etc.
>>
>>168409969
>Will your STI premium go up if you've had a substantial number of claims in a given period?
Has not been addressed specifically, but that makes sense.

Can your STI/LTI be revoked if you turn pirate, and UEE Insurance Company decides you are a criminal?
It was hinted long long ago that there would be different insurance for different purposes, so maybe.

Will premium/criminal status be tied to your character or the hull?
My personal understanding is the character. The hull is more of a matter if you own the title to sell it outright.

>Will your STI premium go up if you've had a substantial number of claims in a given period?
It "couldn't" do that, for gameplay reasons. It would price noobs out of the market.

Well, it could go up a bit but there would need to be caps. And the players who could most afford to pay it (the ones that rarely replace ships) would be the ones never paying it.

So I doubt that would happen in a game. Too simulation and the opposite of fun.

It was hinted that pirate factions might offer insurance to criminals.

I liked being a trader and industrialist in EVE, it's a satisfying kind of feeling when you can buy materials from other players and build stuff for other players, along with handling transporting and logistics for stuff because the market you're in is experiencing a shortage and you're taking advantage of the inflated prices. Being a trader in Elite isn't as cool, it's just numbers that make no difference to anything on a screen. The most affecting thing you can do is post a lucrative trade route in some place like /vg/ and come back the next day and suddenly the route has run dry from everyone trading (in solo, of course.) I did that once with a system, found a really nice route and posted it on /vg/. Was gone the next day but guess what, it was right back a day later because everything just resets. It's a shit feeling when you know that everything you do has no real impact on the world. You're just trading for the sake of trading because you need something to do while watching Netflix.

I think it was designed to be a safe space for dads who only explore. The average griefer isn't willing to fly their Corvette all the way out there, or spend the millions of credits and weeks to transport it either.
I'm pretty sure the reason we have timers on ship transfers is because the dads wanted to feel safe exploring by Colonia in solo without having to worry about those damn PvPers.

I have a corvette with 5x Efficient beam lasers, but I also have 2x 4C PA's. I plan to Overcharge them, but the problem is my (3)charge-enhanced distributor needs 60% of a charge in order to actually fire ONE of them.

So I realize I need to change direction on this: Do I make the PA's efficient, or do I weapon focus my distributor?

Charge focus your distro and efficient them. Charge enhanced had faster regen then weapon focused at rank five and if I remember should be able to handle two efficient huge PAs

Anon suffering my trip back from Colonia here. Colonia is basically exactly the same as the bubble. You might occasionally see another Commander but it's basically just lifeless NPCs flying about the handful of systems.

I saw maybe 5-7 Dads when I first docked, but they all quickly left and I only saw maybe three other people during the few days I spent there.

So if you're looking to gank some people out there, don't bother. You won't find anyone.

As for the practical uses of Colonia? It and the six outposts on the route to it basically serve as a bunch of repair stations. I doubt Frontier had any real idea in mind with that story other than "Hey, wouldn't it be cool it Jaques jumped coreward and started a second bubble!"

If grinding trading missions and BOOM data delivery is your thing it's not a bad spot. Every populated system is within one jump of every other system.

Equip the module, then go to the "ADVANCED MAINTENANCE" button in a station menu, then "RESTOCK" to actually buy the limpets themselves.

Assign it to a fire group/button

If you aren't targeting anything when you launch one, it'll collect for it's entire lifespan, anything in range

If you are targeting a specific object when you launch it, it'll grab that and then expire once it turns it in.

It seems pretty cool, but it's hard to sell anyone else on it. Until we know something more about 3.0, it's dead to me. I've flown every ship with every combination of guns I could think of. Multi crew is fun as fuck if you can group up with non retards. AC and SM are distractions and get boring quick. There is a lot of potential there, but not enough depth to make it any more than a tech demo at this point.

They really need to fuck off with this 2.6.x polish and roll that shit into 3.0. Fixing 2.6 is not going to make a bunch of gameplay content show up.

I like CR's vision, but I hate his management.

Out of curiosity. Will this be the same size/cargo capacity as the freelancer or will the freelancer remain bigger? IF anyone is playing alpha now, can the freelancer actually pose any threat to dedicated dogfighters?
>>
>>168504235
>can the freelancer actually pose any threat to dedicated dogfighters
Not solo, unless the dogfighter is piloted by a window licking retard. The other side of that is a Lancer can leave whenever it wants, a fighter is not going to damage it quickly enough for a gank, unless the Lancer fucks up and tries to fight. Once you are doing cargo runs in it, take off and landings will be worrisome, otherwise you should be fine until interdiction is in.

Freelancer is supposed to be much harder to scan the cargo, and it is supposed to carry more than the Cutlass but less than a Connie Taurus. None of them fight well, at all. The current cargo ships are garbage, and are only as good as the missiles they carry.

Wouldn't mind this TOO much tee bee aitch, some of the bigger ships have absolutely huge cockpits.
>>
>>168515212

Sure, but what's the point? If all you'd be able to do is walk around your cockpit, then it should be a minor QOL immersion feature, not a full, named update. Walking around the cockpit is fine but it adds absolutely zero to the game.
>>
>>168515212
people who fell for the VR meme (read: me) can already walk around their cockpits
>>
I don't see why people want to walk around. You really want this """""""game"""""" to be even more of a fucking time-sink?
>>
>>168516148

Since Elite is so barebones, almost 90% of the game is pure immersion. Even if the game is shallow as fuck, sometimes it's nice to boot up the game and go travel or trade or do whatever. More immersion is always nice but I really can't see how station walking would add anything to the game beyond immersion. Game is shallow so people focus on getting immersed, and FD keeps adding more immersive elements instead of adding shit to actually expand upon the game.

Shit like Colonia and the alien ruins are great examples of this. What did Colonia add? Fucking nothing, a second bubble that is a carbon copy of the first, they probably came up with it in 10 seconds when at a brainstorming meeting, someone said "What if Jacques just showed up suddenly in the middle of nowhere and we formed another bubble around it for no apparent reason?" What did the alien ruins add? Nothing, just some copy paste structures to bait dads along while they scramble together to release more of their fanfiction-tier story.

Walking around would be nice but it's more of the shit that's killing the game. I just hope we can still use the mission board and don't have to get out of our ships to do everything now.

I'm sorry but you're quite simply not the game's core target audience if you're not someone who cares about immersion over all else.

I gave up long ago on the hope of Elite becoming a game I would play for the gameplay. I can still appreciate it for what it is, a "game" where I occasionally pop in to feel like I'm a future spaceman in a spaceship. And it IS really awesome in VR. Too bad VR is another thing you'll probably never understand.

Why must you feel like a self righteous prick just because you can lower your expectations? You know that games can be both immersive and fun right? FD doesn't get a pass because they can build a world where you really feel like a spaceship pilot. And what the fuck is that even about a "core audience?" FD doesn't have a core audience, as much as people like to say that they cater only to dads. They try to appeal to as many people as possible by releasing hot garbage like CQC and Engineers so people who want to PvP can have their arena and gimmicks, and they forced the game into online-only because every single game being released at the time was an MMO, so FD was following the MMO craze and made the game into a multiplayer game.

I have no idea what that VR comment was about. I'm sure VR in Elite is amazing but I'm not willing to spend 800 dollars just to complete the muh immulsion experience.

Most of the factions in Quince are in a civil war state right now so they're not offering many scan missions.

Did they fix the 85x turret placement in 2.6.1? It's correct in the promo art, but was fucked in the game when I last saw it in 2.6.0 PTU.
>>
>>168528905

Yes.

If you have a full log of massacre missions stacked up, and you're killing at a decent pace, it'll happen twice an hour at most. I don't worry myself about it, as the cash-ins are well worth the headache.

I still hang on to my theory that the mission server is just totally fucked, and the mission updates from stacked massacre make it worse and cause the de-sync/kick

85 isnt a racing ship its a 2 seat snub for larger ships, thats just two rich kids racing their 85x in rich kid land.
>>
>>168529414
The 85x was originally intended to be the shuttlecraft that comes with the 890 Jump, but someone thought it would be a brilliant idea to not only sell it as a standalone ship, but also brand it as a racer. Same with the P-52 and P-72.
Dunno why they shat out that MISC abomination though, after already having the M50 and 350r.

First : why not?
Second : Cornerstone is exaggerated. It's like the easiest game mode you can create, player will do it themselves anyway, and only two spaceship is catering to Racing, one is a variation.

The Mustang racer is a startership variation
The M50 is a fast interceptor
The 300i racer is a starter ship variation
The X85 is a coop-shuttle that can fight
The Herald is have his own Information-transport/Hacking gameplay
The Merlin are snub fighter.

If Star Citizen is anywhere dedicated to FUN they'll start making spaceship for anything the players might end up doing.
(For example a medium scavenger ship or ground vehicle made for base defense)

When you take into account the mess of a spaghetti platter the codebase is in Elite I doubt it's just a one-liner.

That wouldn't be it.
It's probably more that they're using wingmen to represent crew on the ship when it's really something else.
That smacks of a shortcut that some dev took because they were being pressured to get it done inside a tight timeframe, or their project management just don't like devs spending a week on a non-core task.

So instead of creating a whole new grouping mechanic and all the related UI screens and networking shit to handle it, they just used the wing feature and repurposed it.

Making the Wing feature handle crew and actual wing at the same time would just be too complicated, every part of the Wing code would then need to be modified to handle both states of either being used for crew or used for actual wing.

It's much easier to just not bother supporting both simtaneously and only a few parts of the Wing code would need to extended to support multicrew with everything else treating all wingmates the same way.

>>168546490
Khartu al may end up being a 1-shot super rare asset in the distant future, while the bucc is literally going to be the middle east toyata helux technical guntruck and should be relatively easy to get ingame. obviously the bucc is more useful but in 4 years you can be that guy who can dickwave that he has a 6 year old LTI ship that newfags cant get

on you but i'd say keep the khartu al for the longterm. Pretty sure you cna just swap them back and forth at least once with store exploits
>>
>>168547120
What store exploits are you talking about?
>>
>>168546878
Khartu is worth $170? If so, you could get a Cutlass and Dragonfly and have $35 left over. You could get another Dfly, a LN, or a bunch of UEC for later.

Bucc is probably like >>168547120 says, but will probably be more usable than the Khartu. The Khartu may be rare, but it will probably only be a hangar queen.

>>168547237
He is probably talking about CCU between even ships, which is trickier to do without making a service ticket once you have several ships playing musical chairs.
>>
>>168547120

Red is the ambulance version, Blue is the police version, Black is the general use/cargo version. Any of them can use a jump drive and there is no particular explorer Cutlass, so any are fine. The 315p will probably be your front line explorer, but you will take a Cutlass when you want something with some teeth.
>>
>>168547237
i mean you can melt the khartu and it gives you a token (which will expire eventually i believe) for whatever your original khartu purchase was

so you can melt the khartu for the bucc, try it out etc and still have the option to swap it back for your khartu package at whatever price you got it (khartu will not always be available on the store, and likely not at all ingame, bucc will always be on sale and will be a cheap throwaway ship ingame)

just wait on the cutlasses unless you already own one. I wouldnt expect the cutlass or really any drake ship to have the top tier bleeding edge module options to specialize into any one thing that other brands may have, probably not your best exploration option. herald is probably where you wanna be for anything science related from drake

black/red/blue will likely end up just be module changes that can all be done to the black (base model) so i'd honestly just get the black and wait for them to figure out how theyre doing the red/blue or if theyre nyxing those entirely in favor of just modifying the hell out of the black

Well yeah, but the way its cargo is set up still makes no sense. It seems like they kept the external drop containers. Basically it carries 3 sets of 4 empty foldable containers and you can drop them when they're full, but you need someone else to clean your shit up because you can only carry 4 at a time. Kinda defeats the purpose of making a solo mining ship.

Well, the entire thing is just reused MISC assets. The whole interior is pretty much pulled straight from the Starfarer with a Reliant cockpit attached. Same exterior chrome as the Starfarer and Freelancer and the industrial bits seem to also be the same materials as the refueling rig.

They're going to be increasing the size of the cutlasses and the red one has long range scanner. Should I upgrade to a freelancer MAX then? I like Exploration but also piracy :D

Maybe they've been fixed. The lead programmer said something like they were hoping for a quick fix.

Hope the rank increases were unmolested by the almighty VISION.
>>
>>168549975
i'm just saying that whatever features you want from the red can probably be slapped onto the black ingame eventually, without being a specialized medical ship

if you're buying things for little module variations take it with a grain of salt knowing you can probably just put that same long range scanner onto your black or blue

>>168550375
I wonder what the difference will be to insure a Black with Red equipment vs. a Red outright, since only the ship is covered by insurance. You have to get separate insurance for modifications or cargo.

>>168550552
No, no. The other direction in design. Look at the Prospector's uninterrupted bubble canopy, the comfy rack with personal porn monitor, and the main function of going off by yourself for extended periods of time, outside normie communication range.

>>168550643
>the more function focused it is the sexier and comfier it is for me
That's valid. I feel like the Prospector is a place I would much more likely walk around in socks versus having to watch out for the Drake ship to avoid banged up knees, torn pants, and other uncomfyness.

I have a fleet with a heavy Drake bias, but I'm the first to admit the Prospector appears to be a much nicer place to be for long periods of time.

The game is still in a pure speculation stage, but given that you want to fly solo, and that the red has a scanner for long range detection, might as well maintain the red to see at least if you can get rid of all those beds and useless garbage and make a ninja salvager out of it.

The thing has side doors! You just turn left/right to reach a wreck for salvage (after tractoring). The freelancer you have to walk all the way to the end of the ship.

That way you scan other fags farming/a couple of pilots fighting, go in, possibly attack an already injured ship (if its outlaw space), tractor the wrecks and take the loots. All this after scanning them from a distance to see if you have a chance or the path is clear.

3.0 will include an entire solar system, new netcode with more players, large ships that won't fuck up the server, huge fps improvements and a bunch of other shit I can't remember.

Hopefully it includes the full implementation of item 2.0 so multicrew will actually be fun.

nope

note they removed all this info from the schedule reports

that was the last time they had the "3.x and beyond" section from 2016-12-23

lol

From this latest AtV it showed a partial section of the system had content in it. It seems like they glossed over it quickly too.

They said over 400 planetary zones in the game but we have very few after 4 years. Feels like a scam sometimes.

Trade route calculators exist online where you can input systems and get info on the best commodity to ship. Never done it myself though, sorry.

Working on Bris Dekker myself. Good luck hauling ass for Palin.

priority for 3.0 is the core stuff that will allow this to be a playable videogame on par for 2017 (15) and run as well as your PC will allow instead of this "woops theres a starfarer in the server, game is unplayable" shit

they could release a half finished rock of a planet to land on and nothing else and i'd be happy long as it doesnt run like it does now
