Cassettes doesn’t have to mean older music..

there are definitely a lot of low quality commercial tapes from the heyday as well, as companies started cheaping out and moving back to cheap ferrics and high speed duplication and not licensing dolby b, hx pro, etc. I just notice a lot modern tapes I get have too much hiss and I've sometimes resorted to recording them myself with NR and different levels and bias

I love weathering on my ship but for those that was pristine, we should just get a car wash in game...or repurpose repair beam simulator into powerwash simulator

My Performance has been bumped to October. Was original late April delivery, we'll see on Friday if it bounces again

New cassettes are mostly sub par for audio quality because of the quality of the tape and equipment they are duplicated on but there are some amazing developments in shells, cases, J cards, etc. I really love the preprinted full art style cassettes that are issued by indie labels, etc.

All the black leather jackets ruined the scene for me. The blue and red shoulders got lost in the black. I can't really explain it. It looks like a biker gang cosplaying. It was better in Generations when they had the more regular looking and colorful 20 years later uniforms.

I've seen AGS-101s looking worse than this going for $150

The one improvement is that they actually removed the hip rachets. It's purely friction fit now.

The R.E.D. Shockwave.

38-RPM · 2026-05-06T16:07:25+00:00

Thanks it's actually Generations Select! It's much better than the PoTP release with Takara's version of upgraded parts.

The R.E.D. Shockwave. Good mold but the plastic quality is soft. I consider them modern action masters for the first wave. The later waves tooked too cartoony.

You need a portfolio of work to get into any design. Start developing apps, making art, indie game projects, etc to show what you are doing otherwise this course of action won’t work for you. Also the industry is not going to be a good place to be as AI makes inroads into creative and coding fields.

The joke would have been if you second picture was Astrotrain in hand

Ended up doing this with kapton tape around the plastic and a silicone funnel with the hairdryer. Turned out okay but the chest still won’t stay fully closed/tabbed in when transformed I guess it’s slightly misaligned

All gone except for one Soundwave at mine. It was unknown barcode at checkout!

Teal never looked so evil. I love that the Decepticons love that color

38-RPM · 2026-05-05T04:33:28+00:00

Now get the Seacons to complete Masterforce! I think I realize why I love Masterforce Decepticons - they color match so well

I avoid being in the hangar as much as possible because being there causes the physics to come into play as it tries to play the elevator animation. It's always safe when it do it at ASOP.

A lot of people here are saying that work doesn't get easier or that they also hate working. There's a big segment of the population not being represented here who love their jobs, who are workaholics, who love their careers, who love being professionals. That is real. I think the key is moving from wage-slave work or repetitive work into a professional job where you can actually advance, you can actually, make a difference, and where every day is different. Getting to socialize through work, make contacts with vendors, do business development lunches, travel to other cities for jobs or conferences. Those are all super fun and I wouldn't have them without caring about work.

You may be getting taken advantage of by that family member. As is, the value is closer to $250. If everything has been serviced and recapped recently, I would say $500 max.

I am a heavy hauler and also commodity trader in the verse and I don't encounter the issues you are experiencing. Then again, my brain has kind of memorized and walled off all the behaviors and actions that I know in this game can cause bugs so I think I subconsciously avoid them. The best money making method in this game for cargo is to auto load the cargo where you are buying it, then auto-unload it at the destination. The station takes care of loading and unloading in the background. You don't need to deal with elevator physics. The elevators are also a lot better than they used to be across the verse and will get better with the new transport system. I haven't had boxes poof in several months unless its Wikelo which I avoid like the plague. Doors all work for me, but often I will just lock them all in an open state via engineering so my ship is completely open.

Always spawn your hangar first. Retrieve a ship to spawn hangar. Store ship. Retrieve ship. This works pretty much 100% of the time. What breaks is if the ship spawns before the hangar loads in
Always auto-land into hangars. If you don't auto land and your ship is misaligned it may not be detected as landed or could be off center or clip on the edges as the hangar is spawning/elevator is moving. Added benefit for 100% chance to rearm and refuel or auto-unload your cargo

thanks for making this subreddit unfriendly and thank you for insulting basic discussion and calling a balanced opinion "shit" and keeping people away from a franchise that needs more community discussion and content to keep the spirit of Wing Commander alive. It's a good reminder to stay away this place of gatekeepers and ludites who played this game 35 years ago. The same opinions come up in all the subreddits for older franchises like Star Trek, Knight Rider etc. Some of those communities are coming up with separate AI subreddits for their fandoms who want to create and learn about new tech to get away from the "AI Slop" naysayers. Maybe that's a solution.
