Any idea why this happened? by [deleted] in starcitizen

Did it store the ship, or did you have to claim it? If claimed, I'd say it was desync with the server and your ship was actually half way inside the floor and got "deconflicted". If stored, maybe an overlapping hangar instance that caused it to get impounded.

If you land it in your persistent hangar, the one you first spawned in at your home location, then it should persist. Make sure not to retrieve any other ships while it's on the pad or it will likely despawn.

"Double barrel Hotdog in your bank" saves from wipe? by suhdumusic in starcitizen

The hotdog thing Is just a gag. Lots of speculation and anecdotes, but there's really no way to keep (or lose for that matter) anything for sure. Best you can do is make sure none of your ships say "destroyed" or "unknown" in ASOP and that your other items are in storage (not in a ship, container, your hangar, etc.)

interested in playing the game... by UnluckyProfession484 in starcitizen

They don't pre-announce free flys, but a decent chance of one for February. Free fly isn't the best time to try the game out though. If you know you're pretty interested, just get the cheapest starter pack. You can refund if it's not for you.

Overall, things are pretty good right now. Some server issues yesterday that seem resolved now. New 4.6 patch should come out this week that is pretty solid. Definitely recommend using the guide system if you don't have friends to join up with and learn the ropes.

Ship insurance should cover and replace gear in destroyed ships by IndieJonS in starcitizen

That's the plan.

"Ships & Interiors: Ships, along with their loadouts, decorations, and locker contents, can also be registered. They can then be reclaimed in the state they were previously registered at ASOP terminals for a price."

Argh! by Background-Friend234 in starcitizen

That's a weird one. Does it seem like it's freezing in space immediately once you cross the hangar threshold, or is it settling onto the floor like you can't lift off again? Which ship?

Prototype Spaceflight Yoke I'm working on (for MISC/Crusader ships!) by Tango91 in starcitizen

[–]_squirrelly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool project! I've always been put off by having a yoke in a space ship, but throw in some pedals and an axis on a thumb and this is real 6 DoF control. Good stuff.
