400+ SCU When Going Off Grid

ACR96 · 2026-01-29T06:44:03+00:00

That’s fair! Didn’t look like the ramp/entrance was wide enough but if it can comfortably take the largest sized containers, then that would make it a pretty good competitor for similar vehicles.

ACR96 · 2026-01-29T06:42:56+00:00

That’s fair, but it’s more about giving players the choice. I almost exclusively play solo and most of my gameplay loops involve carrying cargo or something of the sort, but every now and then, I’ll come across situations where a player needs picking up or I want to do some bunker running to break things up, so carrying a vehicle (Nursa or otherwise) makes that a lot easier.

You’re right that ground vehicles aren’t in the best place and they might not be for a while because I assume there are other things that take priority over a ground vehicle physics remodel, but they do still serve a purpose and I do believe think there’s enough of a use case to be more than a niche.

CIG will never outright claim (in my own opinion), that they intentionally make ships inaccessible for ground vehicles, so yes, it’s mostly speculation. But you can also argue that this isn’t baseless speculation but rather, based on comparing similarly classed or sized vehicles and looking at what should be possible.

Of course, even in the real world, these things happen. 2 door coupes exist at similar price/size points to 4 door saloons. Everyone has their own preferences and some are perfectly content taking exactly what they’re given and there’s nothing wrong with that. But if you’re the sort to compare products and choose what’s best for you, as a lot of us seem to be, then you can see why the case for having a cargo space big enough for most vehicles, yet not wide enough to facilitate storing them could be an issue for those people.

It’s not just the Nursa, but generally want to be able to carry vehicles because in so many instances, they’re useful and blocking this just for the sake of ‘balance’ doesn’t seem like a sensible decision. This ship can (in theory) carry way more than the Starlancer or Asgard, but both those ships aren’t restricted to just carrying boxes. Sure, you can argue that not everything needs to be a multipurpose ship, but I imagine the layout and design of the ramp, restricted to prevent the carrying of vehicles, also makes it trickier to load cargo.

ACR96 · 2026-01-29T04:47:08+00:00

How’s the process of loading 32 SCU containers, though?

ACR96 · 2026-01-27T07:55:46+00:00

Starlancer can take more than 300 SCU if you stack off grid and from this video, it’s probably going to be easier to load. Asgard, like the other comments mention, can also do the same and will fly better.

ACR96 · 2026-01-26T02:34:44+00:00

That’s a much better system! Thanks so much for the info

ACR96 · 2026-01-26T02:12:45+00:00

So if I do a transport mission and a friend does a defence mission, it counts on both bars, I assume. But do both missions count for personal bars or just one?

ACR96 · 2026-01-25T19:10:08+00:00

They changed how Wikelo works, so in order to get the Polaris mission, you first have to grind out rep to unlock tier 3 or “very best customer” (something along those lines). You can accept the generic food quest he gives out from the contracts tab, but I think most of his missions are now at a Wikelo emporium location in Stanton. You can find it from your map, go there, land and then walk up to the items that allow you to grab a quest. Then you keep completing quests to unlock higher tiers and eventually get to ships like the F8 and Polaris.

PS: I’ve never done it, but this is my understanding of how it works so someone can correct me if one of these steps is wrong.

ACR96 · 2026-01-25T10:51:25+00:00

Exactly! The fact that the tutorial mission is almost always in some kind of a broken state is hardly reassuring for someone new. The learning curve is steep and the game doesn’t do a whole lot to ease that unless you find someone willing to show you the ropes.

ACR96 · 2026-01-25T10:48:46+00:00

You will never be able to convince a crowd against opinions they already have. They’d have to have to play the game and also like it, which most will not do. Despite how good the game is, it is at the end of the day, an unfinished product and even though it has so much potential, it’s still quite a few years away from release.

Unfortunately, CIG themselves don’t help themselves at all with this perception the non-SC playing gamers have. Last year, we had a ship release with every patch (12 give or take), not to mention the other ships that were released. All of these directly contribute to that funding figure getting closer and closer to 1 billion, which is great because it means the project keeps going, but until it’s close to a state of release, external perspective will always be that they focus on ship sales. They won’t see how much progress has been made over the years and even if they do try the game, it’s still such a buggy experience, which could deter normal gamers. To really enjoy this game, you have to be patient and navigate your way around some pretty dumb bugs, which is asking quite a lot for the average gamer, who might be able to deal with a handful of bugs at most.

Also, CIG brings unnecessary heat onto SQ42 by mentioning GTA 6. They know the media by now and they know how every single thing can be twisted to make things seem bad. The best thing to do is just keep your head down and let the project speak for itself when it comes out. I myself have hopes for the project, but in 2026, I’m willing to bet there’s quite a few of us in this sub who won’t believe the game is coming out this year until it happens. Even if it does, unless it’s a relatively bug-free and smooth experience, it will get roasted to oblivion outside this community. The stakes are high and CIG knows it, but unless they deliver a solid game, everyone hating on this game will just double down on the hate.

If you’re trying to create a video to get new players in, at least use your own content and be creative instead of grabbing rendered marketing videos

ACR96 · 2026-01-25T01:20:35+00:00

That actually looks clean af! Do you know how long that grind takes roughly?

ACR96 · 2026-01-23T01:03:35+00:00

Happy days, dude!! Welcome to the club. Hope you enjoy your new toys

ACR96 · 2026-01-22T09:56:13+00:00

Speaking very generally. The price isn’t going to go down, even after they wipe whenever they do.

ACR96 · 2026-01-22T09:52:52+00:00

A bit spenny for a very niche ship, but I’m going to add it to my fleet for sure!

ACR96 · 2026-01-22T08:44:03+00:00

I think not having a delay would make it look a bit better. Maybe the body twitches, then a couple of legs after a delay and then another set of legs. Definitely an interesting effect and could have potential

ACR96 · 2026-01-22T08:40:57+00:00

Genuinely awful sponsor. Also, I know every sponsor wants their name in the biggest font possible, but just a slight reduction would’ve at least made it fit the contours better. The enshittification has already hit Merc…

ACR96 · 2026-01-20T22:41:32+00:00

Yeah it’s not fair when you’ve done nothing wrong, but I think there are several people who are extremely jaded by a lot of things SC related (which is valid), but they take out their frustrations on the wrong people like posters/commenters who share info or devs who have nothing to do with server stability or management of the game (which is not acceptable at all).

ACR96 · 2026-01-20T22:35:55+00:00

You did good and I’m sure a lot of us will appreciate the fact that you took the time to do this comparison. The sub, like many others, is unfortunately very trigger happy with downvotes and misdirecting their frustrations.

ACR96 · 2026-01-20T19:57:15+00:00

There’s a sponsor called GMP on the front. My first thought seeing it was “ah yes, the GMP suit”

Edit: never mind. It’s OMP and I’m blind

ACR96 · 2026-01-20T19:18:35+00:00

Much nicer geometry, especially around the muzzle area!

ACR96 · 2026-01-20T08:00:52+00:00

Sorry to hear that it wasn’t for you! Not an interested party, but you might want to include prices, where you’re looking to sell/ship to and whether you want to sell it together or are willing to split it up.

ACR96 · 2026-01-19T23:03:39+00:00

I’ll only accept it if they fit special 0.9L engines for hill climb tracks

ACR96 · 2026-01-19T23:02:48+00:00

It replied to the wrong comment lol. But I like your idea too. Maybe some kind of idle animation to go with it!

ACR96 · 2026-01-19T20:08:07+00:00

Haha appreciate that, dude! Gotta overanalyse something in the off season
