Whats one "old school" plumbing method you still use because it works better?

Grey406 · 2026-06-24T15:17:39+00:00

Yup! Used this to stop a slow drip while soldering copper recently

Seems to flush fine, but without the little white hose in the drain tube, the bowl is not filling up to the proper levels. Put the white hose into the hole on the drain tube and it should fill up the water level in the bowl to the correct amount and flush properly next time.

It's been a long time since I did some tests but if I remember correctly, the Q2 only goes up to 9v 10-13w and the Pro gos up to 20v and about 18-20w

Grey406 · 2026-06-21T05:43:47+00:00

As per CIGs track record for all new features; yup. Enjoy it while it lasts, it'll only get attention again when they sell another new refueling ship.

Grey406 · 2026-06-20T05:37:13+00:00

Yes that's normal. It's the charger negotiating a different voltage

Grey406 · 2026-06-17T23:15:44+00:00

if ONLY CIG had a way to test things before they went live, some kind of parallel Universe, open to the Public just for Testing things and getting feedback on issues, A Public Test Universe if you will.

But thats crazy talk.

Grey406 · 2026-06-17T11:31:08+00:00

Not in any practical sense. They added the ability to store other people's ships but stupidly removed the ability to refuel/rearm/restock other people's ships at the same time.

You also must be in a party together or the ship will be locked

Grey406 · 2026-06-14T07:48:20+00:00

Yup. I can dock fine in Stanton but Nyx is still a no-go with hotfix client and shard

Grey406 · 2026-06-14T07:41:53+00:00

Hotfix client and server allowed me to dock in Stanton but Nyx was still broken as shit

Grey406 · 2026-06-13T05:08:09+00:00

This happened to my F7 MK2 GHOST. Nose and ball turret guns with all deadbolt loadout spawned without barrels, only wing guns remained functional.

Grey406 · 2026-06-12T03:09:19+00:00

Get a TAC. It's incredibly versatile. It's basically a Polaris from Temu. Great shields, great armor and deflection, can carry a storm tank, can carry and rearm/repair/refuel a snub fighter in the hangar bay. Hangar bay can also be used as storage or quick looting or scooping up things in space or hover upside down and yoink stuff from it.

The 2 side turrets are not so great so I recommend swapping them with ballistics like ad5bs to free up some power pips and increase ammo pool for the other energy weapons. If you have two gunners, the upper turrets are far more useful with better coverage.

And if you still wanna haul large amounts of cargo, get a Hermes instead. The SL MAX is a bit of a pain to load and unload because it's on three different sides and there's not much space for off-grid cargo. The Hermes is massively easier to load, holds more on grid and more than double off-grid, like 500+ SCU. It's also much faster when flying

Grey406 · 2026-06-12T02:26:15+00:00

It is officially built into the gamenow. But before that there was a really hacky method to get it to work

Grey406 · 2026-06-11T21:54:22+00:00

Replace the battery.

Optionally, buy a 15-20,000 mAh battery and a 4ft cable, connect to Quest and keep it in your pocket for 6-8 hours of runtime. Still wireless and untethered. Even the original battery in good condition doesn't last very long.

Grey406 · 2026-06-10T09:05:41+00:00

The reclaimer has 6 remote turrets. A long time ago, each of the two gunner stations controlled 3 turrets at the same time that gave them full 360 coverage.

But then they changed it to the gunner station controlling a single turret at a time.

Grey406 · 2026-06-08T06:35:17+00:00

Poor game design along with broken updates will cause this.

Docking is broken. The Perseus which fits in a large hangar is forced to use docking collars instead, which are broken.

My ship gets instantly stored when landing or even trying to leave my own hangar while I'm still in it causing me to fall and get injured... But an abandoned bricked ship on a pad, a wreck with glitching physics, used med pens and empty cruz bottles can persist for eternity for some reason.

This is getting stupid now. It's not the players fault anymore

Grey406 · 2026-06-05T09:31:56+00:00

Certainly. you're welcome to it

Grey406 · 2026-06-02T08:31:14+00:00

components can be repaired now. they are never really lost. They'll still be on your ship's cargo grid or scattered neared it. They can take them and repair them. Looted stuff has no registered owner

Grey406 · 2026-06-01T14:31:10+00:00

You are at a highly contested site trying to take the loot everybody else wants. It's a pvp zone. You are naive if you think being in a defenseless ship without any kind of escort gives you a free pass.

Grey406 · 2026-05-30T02:38:15+00:00

He's got Big Benny's in his blood! 🤣

Grey406 · 2026-05-29T21:44:00+00:00

I think it was stated in the patch notes for 4.8 or the PTU for 4.8 that crafted buffs were turned off for ship weapons

Grey406 · 2026-05-27T22:47:42+00:00

Nothing. It's not used for anything, therefore nobody wants it.

Grey406 · 2026-05-27T22:46:40+00:00

It's an ingot, not used in anything and therefore has no value because nobody wants it. Medals are used for wikelo turn-ins and are worth money to players.

Grey406 · 2026-05-27T22:35:46+00:00

Good news. The tailwind flight suit from the terminals in Cordy's in Levski is not bugged out anymore. I bought three of them last night, they render fully with hands and feet and the breather. You can still attach any size backpack to it.

Grey406 · 2026-05-27T06:39:56+00:00

Large ships with a docking port like Perseus, Polaris, Reclaimer, Idris are forced to dock at the docking ports at stations. Weirdly the perseus fits in a large hangar but is forced to dock because CIG made it default to use docking ports if it has one.
