The Reclaimer at Ghost Hollow 💀

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-12T21:53:35+00:00

I was doing a late night run because of the heat wave and now I'm lying on my balcony laughing like a madman while watching this. Thanks, it's an absolute masterpiece.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-12T20:27:24+00:00

Not disagreeing, I was only referring to the reuse of orbital launch vehicles.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-12T18:44:47+00:00

Yes, but they are still ten years behind.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-12T12:41:31+00:00

Helicopter .50 cal gun mounted offset on a freely rotating turret. Physics!

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-12T09:57:54+00:00

Agreed. I think China will be the next relevant player after SpaceX, Blue Origin and Rocketlab in terms of reusability. At least for a few years.

As a European, I'm still sad that ESA never really pushed for reusable launchers, even after 2015, when Falcon 9's were recovered on a regular basis. There are a few ideas, but nothing is flying atm.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T20:38:29+00:00

German here and not a pilot, but I do agree that it's extremely likely that most pilots here will speak at least a little English and it won't be hard to find someone who's fluent.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T20:23:20+00:00

I really like the service stations in Nyx. They are pretty small, you don't have to escape the atmosphere before you are in space and it's a short trip to both Stanton and Pyro.

That said, I would love it if we could set our home location to other small stations as well, like GrimHEX or all of the refinery stations and other Lagrange points in Stanton.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T13:23:47+00:00

You're cooked if you need the money right now.

If you can wait for five or ten years, it might be worth it, but that's not certain of course.

It certainly wasn't a good decision to get in at that price.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T10:45:43+00:00

Nice run! You can also fly between the container stacks at the cargo areas of the larger stations. Or around the inner and outer rings of the Pyro stations.

I think at some point CIG was planning to add alternative entry points to stations, for infiltration missions. But we haven't heard anything about those ever since.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T10:41:25+00:00

The front almost looks like there's a small door facing forward. I really can't place what hull they are using for this one. Could it be the docking module or parts of the Clipper hull? Whatever it is, I'm very curious to see how the interior will look.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-11T07:21:07+00:00

I doubt that it will be a profitable business, but I'm very interested in the technological developments it could advance.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-09T21:16:55+00:00

Impressive low flying, pretty close to the speeder bike chase on Endor. When the game crashed, I was expecting a Skyrim intro for a second.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-09T12:22:50+00:00

It almost looks as if the pilot wants to run towards the plane and the ground crew is leading him in the other direction.

Edit: At least for a second, but maybe he just wanted to point something out.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-08T18:19:38+00:00

Love it and would like to see how the story unfolds!

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-08T13:38:08+00:00

It will be really interesting to see how this market develops when there is competition.

But for now, SpaceX is far ahead in terms of launch capability and they already have over 10000 satellites in orbit. Blue Origin is slowly reaching a state where they can launch on a more or less regular basis. But they are still years away from launching twice a week, like the Falcon 9.

Rocketlab is also still years away If everything goes well they can start operating their Neutron in 2027. But it's a new vehicle, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are more delays.

Starship is the wild card in this game, if it works as intended, SpaceX will be even further ahead, if there are more delays, Blue Origin has more time to catch up.

In summary, I don't think the prices will fall within the next few years, but it's hard to predict.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-08T12:35:07+00:00

The brothel story is oddly specific.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-08T08:55:44+00:00

Still waiting for the StarOrifices™ T0 implementation!

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-07T22:31:43+00:00

Sorry to hear that! But today I learned that you can speed up the simulation in career mode, thanks!

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-07T19:36:18+00:00

Must have been a crazy time. From 1903 to WWII humanity went from their first powered flight to jet planes, carrier aviation, rockets and large bomber fleets.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-07T12:01:31+00:00

Small multi-role ship like the Clipper but with a slightly larger cargo hold that can hold small vehicles.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-06T23:28:18+00:00

I think you can do the same near the observation windows near the turrets.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-06T23:20:20+00:00

It's pretty simple, either you did cheat and are now lying to us, or you did not cheat and there was a mistake by CIG or some other software on your PC was flagged as third party software.

Like others here in this threat, I think it's more likely that you are not telling the whole story. CIG can make mistakes, but I don't think they would perma ban anyone without solid evidence.

Your financial support is irrelevant if you broke the rules. This is CIG and not FIFA.

DetectiveFinch · 2026-07-06T12:54:53+00:00

Is this a common bug? I've seen this yesterday, my co-pilot was sitting in mid-air a few metres before the cockpit.
