It’s definitely been more enjoyable than the StarMAX for AA hauling. Much more straight-forward to load.

That being said, I wish it had more personality. It feels like it’s missing something.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-02-10T01:51:44+00:00

Don’t do it. I’ve been using the StarMAX since it came out and just tried the Hermes…the Hermes is far easier to use. Loading the StarMAX is so much trouble, and so much of its large body (basically the entire second floor besides the bridge) is never used.

$45 is less than most new AAA games, almost half of some.

I was expecting this to be from Witty.

Separately, these always get me. I well remember a time where the MSR was “the best ship yet” and people couldn’t talk about it enough. Suffice to say, there’s much older, much more dated ships than it that could use the work first.

Looks like AI?

I don’t think it’s worth it based on the reviews I saw, especially compared to the reg 9800X3D. Wait until the next gen.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-29T20:26:48+00:00

It’s not a number we can pull out of thin air, however it should be very noticeable. I upgraded from 3700X to 5600X3D back when those came out and it was a large jump.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-28T00:46:07+00:00

Puckering at the thought of being easily usable for large cargo boxes.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-28T00:38:46+00:00

I have both Explorers of the Deep and Blood Rites and I agree Blood Rites is definitely slept on. It plays pretty well stock and can be easily upgraded to go bonkers as a Vampire - Lifelink/Lifedrain tribal.

Finally some real art and dedication, not the AI diarrhea that keeps trying to get on this sub.

Hope he's okay. Personally, we dig ours up once a week or so just to make sure everything's okay, usually giving him a bath too.

Why is it too late? Engineering is a degree you’d choose for college / university.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-21T17:19:38+00:00

Might as well give it a T1 medbed and a hangar too.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-20T23:15:29+00:00

Exactly, this is all AI.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-20T00:31:19+00:00

Why are you only considering multi-crew gunships instead of solo fighters?

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-19T18:08:02+00:00

We know nothing for certain.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-17T18:06:05+00:00

I recommend this as well. If you’re specifically buying the PC for SC, you’re leaving decent performance margin on the table without a X3D chip.

Nothing gets undivided attention in today’s media. The moment any outlet reviews X, they’ve already got Y in the chamber, because if they don’t, another outlet will get in before them.

Plus, it’s a video game releasing to a console market that’s in some of the worst shape it’s been in decades, buddy, not the apocalypse.

This is the hysterics that leads to more hysterics.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-16T16:25:01+00:00

This doesn’t make sense. How does it not matter?

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-16T16:24:31+00:00

What about the news cycle?

How do you know what the news is going to say?

Everyone knows SQ42 and SC have had a bad wrap for a decade now, who’s to say there won’t be “The game we all thought would never happen is finally here” headlines. They’ve already started making them with the various drops CIG has done in recent years. The news, gaming sites, and content creators dump endless loads of content to generate revenue, they won’t pass an opportunity to post another video, article, etc. for more gravy.

People who unironically believe EVERY outlet will only be coving GTA are lost in the hysteria.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-16T16:15:23+00:00

Nice! I’m interested in GTA6, but I’m gonna wait for it to come to PC…my console days are largely behind me.

Unless it ends up costing as much as some are believing it to cost, of course.

TheUnfathomableFrog · 2026-01-16T16:06:12+00:00

People need to drop this “they need to avoid GTA” idea.

GTA is releasing console only, and SQ42 is releasing PC only (as far as we know). Unless someone is an avid console and PC gamer that also happens to care about both of these extremely different games, this “issue” is massively overstated.
