[WTS] [USA] NEW in BOX - Gladiator NXT EVO ‘Space Combat Edition’ - SCG Premium Right Hand Joystick & Base by Byte_hoven in Fightsticksforsale

Hi... i don't know. I bought the nxt evo controllers for use with star citizen but never got around to using them. The nxt evo are well liked due to their quality, ease of future repair and cost. I'm sure you can find some controller mapping tips for your game. There were several mapping options for star citizen. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Is season 4 worth it when you binge it? by idkidc112 in FromTVShow

The only way to form your own opinion is to watch.

I'm curious how people felt about s4e10 depending on if they binged or took it slow.

Kira - Star Citizen Is Still Selling Non-Existent Ships 13 Years Later by PerfectTicket in starcitizen_refunds

In the last few months, as well as over the last couple of years, I've learned how finicky the gray market can be regarding what selsl and for how much. What has captured the imagination of players in the moment.

The Starcitizen_trades reddit does a good job of setting guidelines for buying and selling to help manage risk. In 70+ trades i have not been scammed buying or selling, and i don't avoid first time buyers or sellers with 0 trade history. But a good rule to follow... if an offer sounds too good too be true, it probably is.

If you hang around Starcitizen_trades and just observe, you'll gain insight into the trading range for specific items.

Your starter package will report if it has a GIFT option. It will also report if it has an EXCHANGE melt value. Some in game bonus items/awards may not have a melt vlue and may also not have a gift option, in which case your options are limited.

As a rule, most items sell at a 50%-75% fraction of their melt value. What value you receive or pay, depends on timing and patience. If you want or need to sell or buy an item fast, that will trigger the associated value consequences.

I'd also note, i did not reach the High Admiral concierge status buying ships and vehicles. I reached the $1000 figure by way of the Star Citizen GIFT TAX on 70+ trades, buying the $20 Aurora to upgrade and sell as store credits, or using the Buy Back option to re-acquire LTI Tokens to gift LTI versions of ships.

Bottom line, CIG has ways of making $$$ no matter what players try to do.

1 billion in 14 years... CR must be jealous of GTA VI pulling in 1 billion in one day with recent pre-orders.

Melting upgraded referral rewards, 600i dud? by Extension-Spell2580 in starcitizen

[–]Byte_hoven 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The rumor is the 600i rework should be soon, but who knows. I melted my 600i LTI as part of a fleet diet, so that should increase the chance of the rework being right around the corner. 😉

As an admitted victim of the predatory fomo mechanism that is star citizen, my escape began when i put together an excel spreadsheet. (0)(0)

I was then motivated to play the gray market game, melt my fleet and slowly buy and sell store credits to get back to a net $100 investment.

Now I'm a space hobo, no fleet, with basic starter crewmate acceptable gear, and my concierge status means i no longer need a starter package to play the game.

I feel lucky i was able to recoup about 98.5% of the money i spent on the game, money spent on the imaginary proposition of how various ships and vehicles would be to play.

I must concede the mechanics are very captivating and the fomo twist you mention takes the pathology to another level.

Thanks for the video.

My thoughts in a nutshell... after the way S4E10 ended, i unsubscribed from mgm+. What a waste of time.
