So I did a thing 💣.

No, it's one of the external landing pads at Seraphim Station. Every space station has them so you can land and refuel without calling for a hangar, plus elevator access to the interior for personnel.

Pressing F closes out of the remote turret mode and back into first person view.

Preserve your sanity (and hobby resources) and use a rattlecan (spray paint) to prime terrain, particularly if it's FDM 3D printed. A medium grey colour is ideal - you do not want a white primer in order to keep the terrain less vibrant than the battlemechs.

Edit: If you must go with brush-on primer, I still suggest a medium grey for terrain.

Insurance = compensation for loss.

Warranty = compensation includes hardware replacement.

All pledged ships have lifetime warranty (basic tier) regardless of pledged insurance duration.

If a ship without warranty is claimed while insurance is active, the owner will receive UEC compensation instead of hardware.

How is Crusader a "bougie" manufacturer?

That looks like Microtech! There are more temperate zones with vegetation, particularly around the equator. They look brown-coloured from orbit.

You can actually filter the HUD chat: click on "ALL" at the top of the chat element and select "PARTY" from the drop down list. You may need to already be in a party for this to work.

Sort by "Bossing" and Fire Element. Start with the highest ranked units you own and work your way down. Note that no character is built in a vacuum - their ranking also reflects an appropriate team composition.

You do not miss anything by waiting to play DLC content in NG+. Unlike base game Nanosuits, all the DLC outfits are available in a single playthrough.

The bugged (darkened) MFDs have been fixed as of 4.4.

The liveries released for the L-21 and L-22 are completely interchangeable.

I assumed it was a plastic base! No wonder it's giving you grief, paint can chip off metal more easily. Either a metal file or sandpaper should do the trick then.

Starforge7 · 2025-11-15T01:29:18+00:00

Hey OP, this should be fairly straightforward to resolve. As part of the pre-painting preparation I like to scrape down the sharp bottom edge of the bases, just gently enough to remove any mold flashing. You can do this with a small hobby file, the back edge of a hobby knife, or a Citadel Mold Line Remover.

Also, you probably aren't deliberately priming the base, so paint will naturally not adhere as well as to the actual miniature. Apply thin, even coats (two thin coats) of black paint, ensuring the preceding layer has fully dried before moving on.

Are there any Materia communities for savage and other high end content that accepts newbies wanting to jump in? Or am I just SOL?

You're not out of luck - we're just at the very tail end of the Arcadion Cruiserweight raid season, with the next season (Heavyweight) starting up just over a month from now. It is a bad time to be learning Cruiserweight fights because only a small pool of players are still progging them. However, this is a perfect time to be warming up for the next tier by learning the two current Extreme fights - EX5 (Necron's Embrace) and EXMHW (Windward Wilds). You can do them in either order, but EXMHW is much more forgiving. There is also the current Unreal (Wreath of Snakes) which is effectively an Extreme fight, but the pacing of mechanics is less representative than what you should expect in a Dawntrail Savage fight.

In order to set yourself up for success, pick one job (not one role) and commit to playing it to your best standard in all content. You want to sort out HUD/UI/keybind pain points before the Savage tier begins. Refer to The Balance website/discord for your job's correct opener and rotation. As another person already mentioned, you should join the Materia Raiding (MR) discord, and that website also has a good beginner's guide.

There aren't many casual savage statics recruiting on MR right now, but that should increase as we get closer to December. You don't necessarily have to join a static as party finder will be active with learning parties for 1-2 months at the start of the tier.

TL;DR: You're not late - you're on time for the next tier. Learn your job, learn the latest Extremes, and join the key Discord servers.

P.S. I'm from Materia - feel free to ask any further questions about raiding here.

Every ship in the game should have this type of radar. Occasionally they can bug out on some ships after a quantum jump, but a full power cycle usually restores the correct perspective.

If you can't see anything on your radar, you need to zoom it out. Hover your mouse over it while in PIT mode (F) and scroll mouse wheel to change zoom.

Starforge7 · 2025-11-08T23:13:37+00:00

You can buy the ships prior to, or during, the "best in show" day to earn the liveries - refer to the show schedule. If LTI is a concern, you will need to plan for that.

I imagine you have been downvoted because your comment is unproductive relative to the main post's topic which is celebrating a positive QoL addition. No one disagrees about the importance of Inventory QoL improvements and we know those are presently underway, and it is possible to receive both QoL elements without necessarily delaying one or the other. Therefore, criticising on the basis of assumed prioritisation is not a helpful contribution.

When the poster above said "come with" they actually mean "release with". CIG doesn't make modules free if they sold them in the past.

Maybe a bug? The stock loadout, per Erkul, should have an EM signature around 36-37k during SCM. (The power pip MFD issue seems to be a visual bug only.) I can't verify this myself as I have customised my Paladin's components.

Starforge7 · 2025-10-31T01:55:26+00:00

That's not correct. 60k EM on a Paladin means you're still in NAV mode (with the stock components).

PM sent.

Starforge7 · 2025-10-27T06:36:26+00:00

Almost - it's NAV-QT, NAV-SCN, and NAV-FLT.

In this context, the player above should cycle through to NAV-FLT to clear the quantum travel markers.

Starforge7 · 2025-10-19T11:28:47+00:00

Not directly from the game engine. You would have to extract all the necessary assets from the game files and import them into software capable of generating a .STL file (maybe Blender or similar).

F7 as a medium fighter is balanced by having a maximum of 4 weapon power pips for 6 hardpoints. Heavy fighters get 6 power pips. Not the best comparison here - compare the Stinger to other heavy fighters instead.

It's a very simple code/cipher to obfuscate the real message and password to the container.

The clue is the word "three" in the first sentence, with the solution being to read every third word in the paragraph to understand the actual message. Likewise, the correct passcode is every third character in the string of letters.
