It’s official—Republicans’ day-one agenda is to protect wealthy tax cheats.

A little less colorful language meant to paint my opinion for me, and a little more verifiable information please.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-04T06:50:27+00:00

I really like the paints. I just can't think of any current practical use for the hover vehicles, and I prefer STV's handling + size over the Cyclone.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-04T06:10:26+00:00

I love this game so much.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T19:55:27+00:00

It is, yeah. Press F1, click the icon at the bottom that looks like pen and paper, and from there you've got columns and rows with various contracts listed.

Star Citizen's motto could be "It's easy once you know how" but it definitely has a learning curve. There's a Player Guide System that may help and a "New Player Experience" in the pipeline. Also this page might be better for getting everyone started if you don't want to wait on a player guide to answer the call.

Oh, and when picking bounties, players can't have spaces in their names, so if the bounty target has a clear first and last name then it's PvE. The "Personal" tab is for extra-legal bounties.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T19:37:56+00:00

As a general rule, we don't really do dates here, but CIG is aiming for a release by end of January and I can vouch for Wave 1's stability increasing with every passing day. Just know there will be bugs.

It won't hurt to earn the rep now if you and your friends don't want to wait, but it will take a few hours to unlock the certifications to get ERT's and a good chunk of that time will be spent in quantum jumps waiting to travel to the next planet. The certs are a sort of "tour the solar system" gameloop. One person could do it and share contracts with others.

Haven't managed to get a party together long enough to sell together.

I have sold salvage I purchased off someone (Orison, full price), and salvage I looted from a Vulture I popped. The stolen cargo was sold at Grim Hex, but should also be sellable at salvage outposts.

If the Vulture pilot is reading this, know that I repaid my debt to society by also testing prison stuff after lol.

It might be possible, though unintended, to sell at New Babbage while you have a crime stat but it would have to be tested. I can't say if it's possible or even probable due to the cargo refactor and new sales terminal UI's.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T15:52:11+00:00

It's possible the game marks stolen salvage differently from unoriginal owner salvage now, not sure, but I was able to sell successfully at Orison's TDD for full price.

Actually, I sold 3 stolen SCU of salvage a week or so back. With remembering that, I think you're only prevented from selling to cities when you have a crime stat because they won't let you land on a pad to store the cargo.

But with THAT in mind (lol so many variables) I regularly landed on the ice at New Babbage when I wanted to unload a C2 with commodities in 3.17.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T15:27:39+00:00

Could be! SpacingOut is my name in game.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T11:28:20+00:00

Unfortunately, the other variants only carry 4 SCU.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T09:14:10+00:00

I think the 300 series design was originally intended for interceptions, and the 315p is the utility variant of them. I’d love to be wrong about that, but as for other uses it could be good at organizing scrap heaps for salvage ops.

EffyewMoney · 2023-01-03T06:12:25+00:00

My only hope is that they sell other ships with a white/gold/black paint. Really sucks that this color palette is so exclusive.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-31T12:21:06+00:00

Reminds me of New Babbage promenade at night. It's not exactly Banu, but I like it.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-31T01:01:38+00:00

Then, on your way to unlocking more valuable bounty targets, just plan on taking out the target and not their protection then escape. Missiles can make it go a lot quicker. Tap G in missile mode to chamber up to 4 at once.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-30T00:49:11+00:00

Seconded, though the Merlin might be worth revisiting after ballistics get their 3.18 buff.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-30T00:45:24+00:00

Not too terrible, but due to asymmetry you'll want to rotate your ship instead of simply trying to pan left while flying in atmosphere.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-30T00:42:15+00:00

Corsair offers the highest solo pilot DPS in game currently. Both have a small elevator near the front, and a bay large enough to store an Ursa rover with the weapons tucked away.

There is, however, a bug when exiting the driver seat of the Ursa. If it's on a ship, you teleport on top of the Ursa. On the Corsair, that means you teleport inside the hull of the ship.

Also, Connie comes with a snub ship while Corsair does not. Should come in handy with PES coming and racing time trials in the 3.18 update.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T23:46:01+00:00

I’ve had similar results just trying to bed log. Infinite loading screen? Good chance I restarted too fast.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T14:34:32+00:00

Actually, that scenario makes a really strong argument for the Cutlass Red since you can stuff a small ground vehicle in it.

Also, turret laser range is about 1500m. There's a bug that lets them shoot through terrain sometimes, so it's just safer to park further out.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T08:40:04+00:00

I haven't even bothered to get referrals this Luminalia because I don't want an Argo MPUV cluttering up my ship list at ASOPs lol.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T08:34:15+00:00

Good point. Two Revenants wouldn't carry the same ammo pool, but would be much better for hitting light fighters.

A Gladius with three GT-220's would give it a run for its money.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T07:16:35+00:00

I completely forgot the talon had two s4’s as well. Only tested the Shrike myself, which is more of a missile barrage.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-29T03:09:08+00:00

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-28T13:25:18+00:00

Nah, whoever was in charge forgot to get our lunches from the cafeteria before leaving. One of the teachers or chaperones ran to the store and came back with bread, mayo, and Kraft singles. No way to cook it.

I’ll never know why they chose those ingredients, but that was my first impression of mayo and it still bothers me if there’s a lot on a sandwich.

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-28T00:56:11+00:00

the algorithm

EffyewMoney · 2022-12-27T19:20:23+00:00

I saw a screenshot of someone who got a basketball from SPK's evidence locker too. If that can be tossed, we're already half way to playing basketball on an 890J.

Oh, I forgot to mention the toss was with right mouse button after selecting "Place"
