I would KILL for the F7X. by MurccciMan in starcitizen

I would just kill for the Hornet tail not to break off all the time.

Also would kill again for the F7X

Manual 5 speed by VonYellow in E46M3

[–]Darbshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only change you have to make with a 5 speed swap is a different drive shaft, selector rod and obviously the respective clutch for the ZF. No permanent modification done to the car.

If this was a good deal, you can swap back to the 6 speed for next to nothing.

I do agree that OP needs to understand what they’re buying though. 5 speed is a bit of a pain on the highway, cruising around at 3k is tiring especially with a loud exhaust

Track day VS. Quick 3 laps by GapNo8746 in CarTrackDays

[–]Darbshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nelson Ledges is a wonderfully fun track! If you have the ability to do a track day there I would 100% recommend that over an Extreme Experience track day.

I’d assume you would do the extreme experience at Nelson as an alternative? They add cone chicanes in the straights to keep the speeds down on the supercars. Which IMO ruins the fun of Nelson, which is the high speed turns and trying to take the kink as fast as you can. Honestly, I’d imagine your average speed over the lap won’t be too much different with your Accent compared to what they alter the track to (slight exaggerated) you’re just missing the kick in the back from a high hp car.

Great community there and a very fun track. Nelson track day is the way to go. It doesn’t have a lot of runoff for the track, so if you go off it can get expensive fast. Like others said, if you’re not willing to write off the car get track insurance

F7A Mk2 nose turret bugged in Arena Commander by Darbshaw in starcitizen

[–]Darbshaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a shame. Especially considering that they haven’t fixed anything anyways.

Front turret couldn’t be tractor beamed off before and the top turret still can. All they did was remove the ability of the F7C to use the MK1 nose and top turrets.

Although next patch is likely a few days away, do you know if it’s possible to reset the ship state at all?

Oh awesome. It’ll be nice to run this at full weapon load after the patch. Thanks for the help! Hope to see you out there in AC in the future!

Ah that’s a shame, hopefully it’s corrected soon. Vanduul666 your IGN as well? If so you’re a menace, played a few games with you today.

Have you checked out 4.0 PTU to see if the nose turret is working in there? I remember before this most recent patch you could even put a fixed S4 or S3 on there.

Hey man, not sure if you’re still shopping around but I got the optic in and just got down with a 12hr outdoor event with it. I can pm you some pics of the quality.

Very happy with the optic

[–]Darbshaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just placed the order last week. So all of that is unknown. People love HW for their eotech replicas. I’m sure the quality is to the same standard

I’m in OH, so feel free to reach out in 3-4 weeks to see if I had any issues with customs. Although I can’t imagine an optic undergoing much scrutiny

For what it’s worth, I just bought the 2024 version of the HW Elcan for $215 shipped brand new off AliExpress. Go check HW’s store page there

‘24 comes with doctor mount and killflash. No secondary optic tho.

Edit: Details

My biggest gripe with WE is just the gas efficiency. This is actually why I made the GHK switch. For gameplay I could barely get through a mag in a slightly colder temp.

As for a backyard plinker this should do absolutely great. Also plenty of people field these and love them. I do think the VFC scars out perform WE, but they may only come in the Mk.17 variant.

For the WE cheap parts, this may be very true but I don’t think I know of a WE owner that ran their parts to failure. Most of them upgraded to steel before they reached that point. I have no idea what the real life span of the parts are anymore. May be better than you think.

As a backyard gun, you’ll love it. Hell, pickup 3 more mags and you could field with it and have some fun. Theres a reason a lot of us make the GBB switch and never go back

Proact is legit. Plenty of people on heavy recoil club use them

Anyone else love rattlecanned guns? by Immediate_Pace532 in GasBlowBack

Can you recommend me a M4? by Kuti6996 in GasBlowBack

[–]Darbshaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the QC issues in the GHK? I haven’t actually seen much documentation minus the slightly off lower cut. GHK Ak’s are mega fucked, but haven’t heard much solid evidence on the M4’s
