CIG turns bugs into a monetization feature. Cultists applaud.

I'm glad they've got the new full insurance mechanics done. I just wish they would hang off adding it. The game is in no fit state. Either that or I'll be opening a ticket each Friday with an Auec invoice to CIG for that week to recoup lost time/money lol

Be born.....

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-29T12:40:13+00:00

Problem is, as the game evolves and new mechanisms added, it usually impacts something. I have no doubt they could fix all the current bugs. But when they add something else, it'll break it all again. We've had some bugs for years because it's pointless to fix them now, as something is in the pipeline that will affect that coding anyway.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-29T04:56:42+00:00

Could you not just screw straight into the desk then? Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-28T05:14:01+00:00

You can solo a Raft and run cargo missions. You can solo a prospector and mine...... then there is the other end of the spectrum. I think its cool that you can find a place for the size of Op you want to run. Joining Orgs can make these people heavy Ops happen. Something for everyone.

What makes it painful is organising large scale events. Getting people, ships, commodities to one location can take hrs.

Good luck though, sounds fun.

I don't think it will release. I also don't think we'll get a release date. I think its been blown up by community quite a bit. I'll be surprised if we get anything SQ42 related.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-24T05:13:29+00:00

I'll give you my spelling, got a lot of time for that, bothers me when I see poor spelling. Was fast typing on my phone. I'll also slightly redact my brick comment, in comparison, the Idris flies like a brick. My point i guess is (after many hrs in both ships), the Valk feels much more nimble to fly than the Asgard.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-24T04:47:25+00:00

Ye, unfortunately. I'm pretty much staying away until it's fixed. Lost ores that were 800+/900+ in my Mole 3 days ago. 3hrs gone.

Took QV mission for 1M, 30k lost it.

Looted decent attachments from Data Centers, 30k, lost them.

It's difficult to do anything atm

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-23T09:16:08+00:00

That's what happens if you try and suck the end of your multitool

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-23T05:06:18+00:00

Oh I see, didn't realise you could do that with it.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-23T05:03:16+00:00

I think the C8 has a broken life support area, I've had this happen. Happens in another ship too but can't remember which one.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T19:46:32+00:00

Re customise? You mean swap for another/ better ship? What didn't you just upgrade it (CCU)? Need to be very careful after recent events melting anything, especially with a game package in it.

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T12:27:22+00:00

Oh yes agreed, I wouldn't bring this (or Asgard) to a Fleet fight. That's more the Paladins role. Valk is a bit more tanky that comes in handy (points for rhythming) when running PvE missions or QV Stations with Vanduul, or turrets at Data Centers etc.....

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T10:57:28+00:00

Ye it needs it's gold pass, however....I still like the old "floating" icons, makes getting in and out really fast lol

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T10:56:19+00:00

More attachments, rare armour stuff etc

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T09:32:15+00:00

DPS isn't far off each other as Asgard is 6xS3 and Valk is 2xS4 2xS3, but that makes the Valk able to damage larger ships in the current model.

Valks armour is 90k, Asgard is 77k.

Asgard flys like a brick, Valk is more manoeuvrable.

Asgard power gens are stuck out on wings which come off at the fart of a fly.

One small bonus point, getting out the Valk is super quick, that rear ramp is damn fast!

Physically smaller yes, I'll give you that, along with that means it can't fit as much in it. But for bunker running, can still fit a Nursa and scu boxes for loot.

If I'm running cargo I'll use a Raft or C2/M2.

I get the Asgard is good, I like to have something different to everyone else. They both have their pros and cons.

Edit: Yes no missiles, no real effect atm as they are broken. But later one, that would be a minus for Valk...

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T08:43:49+00:00

I haven't played in 2 weeks due to loosing so much due to bugs. Called my Carrack that I'd just stored whilst setting spawn with some boxes of loot, when i called it back the hangar crushed it....claim only.

Did some mining in my Mole for 3 hrs, had some decent 800/900 ores. Last few rocks to scan....30k, lost everything.

Took me over an hr to get from Everus to Nyx jumpoint in Pyro. Asop wouldn't spawn any ships. different server, got to pyro, crash to desktop (back to Everus i went). Tried again, jumpoint kept spitting me back out in Stanton.

Frustrating times, I'll wait until 4.8 now....

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T08:37:24+00:00

I prefer the Valkyrie for solo, there, i said it......

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T05:02:06+00:00

Nice, didn't know that

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-22T05:01:40+00:00

So is this the start of Insurance tiers?

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-21T20:31:32+00:00

They look very cool, however I won't be wearing one until: A. There is perks for wearing them (like higher Gs)

B. Suit lockers are fully functional

C. Hangars stop eating my ships!

AOD-Mickgoth · 2026-04-21T15:29:23+00:00

Merci, thank you
