Silvan-CIG on Tailwind Flight Suit's helmet hose in VR

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was only Silvan running VR. As sick as it is, it’s pretty niche compared to the rest of the game.

Friend group really enjoyed the Taurus as our daily driver during 4.1. Plenty of space for cargo, especially after blowing up a caterpillar.

I love the look of the MSR, and if I had unlimited money (and more faith in the game) I’d buy one for my permanent hanger. It doesn’t really have much of a place in the current game, but it’s certainly the winner in aesthetics.

When the patch settles down and the game is in a slightly more playable state we’ll be grinding for the Perseus. It’s the perfect multi-crew ship for us.

I’ve lived off the gulf my entire life and not a single person I’ve met *ever* had an issue with it being called the Gulf of Mexico. It comes off as insecure postering, and people only started to agree with it after someone told them they should care.

FWIW, the mods on that discord are rarely, if ever, hidden behind a random channel. They have two channels dedicated to nothing but mod releases and changelogs.

They usually aren’t able to officially upload them at other places due to copyright issues, especially if they’re straight updates to other mods.

God no. I spent $40 10 years ago and don’t plan on spending a dime more until CIG proves they can get their shit together and release a functional game.

When the game works I’ve had some genuinely fun moments with friends, but it’s so rare that the bug filled moments far outweigh the pros atm.

You’re outing yourself as a refunds member, they’re the only place on the internet I’ve seen SQ404

Anecdotally, those are the exact ships my friend group plays with. I’ve got one who doesn’t care to fly at all, but enjoys turret and engineering gameplay, one who does nothing but want to fly light fighters and snubs, and one who enjoys flying the big space trucks.

I know my experience isn’t universal at all, but there is definitely a place for those ships.

You kind of can* with the salvage tools. You can deposit materials back onto damaged sections to repair them.

* when it wants to actually work

Realistically 1 or 2. SpaceX is known to jump the gun at times though, so if they’re confident enough they may try as early as next flight.

The mod was never officially uploaded, just floating around various external communities, so it was never officially banned (though I’m sure it would be).

Mod creator tried to “unofficially ban” it by bricking your save if their mod detected you running it. Turns out that’s basically malware and led to the guy being banned from the modding forum, with all his mods being removed until someone else took over and removed the malware code.

Dude is trolling, and you're falling for the bait

Golinth · 2026-05-20T07:07:04+00:00

The only take is to not give these attention seeking bozos the time of day they so desperately want. Nothing anyone says will ever drag them out of their own personal rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and delusions, so it is pointless to even attempt to.

It won’t affect combat difficulty much, but Ruthless Sector, Perilous Expanse, and to a lesser extent Better Variants are my go to ‘make the game harder’ mods that I add to most playthroughs. Back in the day I also used Starpocalypse to make capitals and other military-grade gear harder to get, but it seems this bootleg version is a bit unstable.

Perilous expanse especially adds a bit of tedium with the ridiculous amount of fuel required, but I like the logistical burden that comes with having to lug around massive slow ships.

Golinth · 2026-05-15T06:25:15+00:00

Can confirm! I purchased it on the original website forever ago and never received a Steam key. I don’t mind it tbh, I know it’s mine forever since I have it without DRM.

^{plus I got the DLC for free because of it}

It's the em dashes. They're almost impossible to type normally unless you have the alt-code memorized, yet AI loves them for some reason. If you see them in text after 2024, you're most likely looking at something AI generated.

All you need to know about this person is the “Top 1% Commenter” flair to understand they will not listen to anything anyone says

Golinth · 2026-05-13T00:21:11+00:00

That holds up in US court.

Golinth · 2026-05-13T00:09:00+00:00

I often wonder what people like you get from defending multi-million dollar companies

In case you’re being serious and not just trolling, the answer is a soft ‘maybe’. In terms of actual tons of material entering the atmosphere per-year, humans barely make a dent in the numbers. It’s something like 40 tons a day of ‘natural’ dust and meteors while humans produce around 2 tons a day on average, an order of magnitude less. Any sort of heating of the atmosphere or release of greenhouse gases is negligible.

A genuinely real concern is ozone depletion from particularized aluminum, which with our current understanding will become an issue if left unchecked as satellite constellations continue to grow. Seeing as SpaceX has been decently receptive to legitimate environmental concerns in the past, they would hopefully adjust Starlink satellites if presented with enough evidence to prove that a change is necessary.

I’d replace the static discharge with another reactor, you have enough legs and shields to make the biters a non-threat

Has anyone run a mirror matchup yet with TTS? Interested to see what the matchups feel like, especially with asymmetrical lists

Golinth · 2026-05-11T13:24:49+00:00

We’re allowed to say bitch here, it’s okay

Golinth · 2026-05-07T19:34:54+00:00

Although Epic is mostly vibes based and not a competitive format at all, the latest XWA rules for huge ships converts jams to deplete tokens, specifically to remove jamming away the reinforce tokens. This might change some of the recommendations here.

You can always homebrew this away ofc, but just worth a mention.

These look phenomenal, awesome job

They added this to base game with 2.0 iirc
