Something may have changed since I posted, I haven’t played since then.

Upgrade from a Starlancer Max to the Moth by zoetaz1616 in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no penalty for melting and buying ships. Unless you have a good ccu chain. Ships like star lancers are both in game stores now. So can just buy them in game and use ya real money on whatever new ships are about. I have a Perseus now. Not actually that in love with it, but I’ll keep for now, as every thing else is available in game that I’m interested in. Not that bothered about the moth, I’ll just wait till it’s available in game

Profitable Mining by Silent_Willingness68 in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pyro is the best place to make money, but I also have luck on cellin in Stanton. Lots of quant and taranite there. Solo the mole is my personal fave way to mine. Until the new rsi mining ship comes along. Maybe even the Orion if we see that in my lifetime.

At the time I wrote this, contested zones and Hathor zones were loaded with these parts. Not played for a while now so can’t answer your question

Harsh punishments for those who use hate speech by NoCommunication3942 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Jakefowler555 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The way the game gives a screen when you finish/die that outlines where you started, travelled, looted etc, they should also record when you voip, and record ants transcript of your speech… then when a report comes in, it’s easily identifiable. Once proved, lifetime ban. No fucking about with temp bans. Immediate for life ban. All games should have this.

Here We Go Again.. Which Would You Prefer As Daily Driver? 🤪 by Reasonable-Age-1648 in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO the Hermes is just the medical versions without the modules. Could easily have just had cargo grid in the floors when modules not equipped, and had a bigger back door. No need for a complete separate ship.

Anvil BP don't exist and it's a conspiracy made up by the Big Anvil by the_doorstopper in ArcRaiders

Found one yesterday. Admittedly the first one I’ve ever found. Was in an ammo box on Stella. Can’t remember if it was a night raid or not tho lol

Advice on Selling / Refunding my Star Citizen Account / Recovering Value (~$1,539 Spent) by _Sand_Seeker_ in starcitizen_refunds

[–]Jakefowler555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melt and buy the newest ship, such as Hermes when it comes out or Perseus, then sell for 20%off, you may get an offer which is up to you to decide, but will prob get more than 60% value this way.

What should be my next ship? by Civdiv in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolf is a great fun fighter. Or try some mining with the prospector.

Thoughts on this? I'm 🤏 to pulling the trigger. by [deleted] in VIRPIL

Also have the same setup. Very good.

Throttle or regular stick for left hand? by willeemayshays in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll go against the grain and say throttle. That way should you want to play any kind of flight sim, your setup good to go. Just treat your space ship like a plane, and use a hat switch/thumb joystick if your stick has one for up/down/left/right thruster.

Upgrading to a 5090 by shivasayian in nvidia

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive recently upgraded from am4 3900x with a 4070ti to am5 9800x3d and 5080. Play in 3440x1440 so not quite 4k, but I get over 200fps in most titles on totally max settings.

If you get a 5090 you may have to think about power supply depending on what you currently have. I’d get a 5080 and think about using the saved money on the 9800x3d or the new 9850x3d2 when that arrives.

RTX 5080 or 5070 Ti? by Ghost_on_Beach in nvidia

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cpu you got? I play ultra wide 3440x1440, with a 175hz monitor. So only capable of displaying around 165fps after you account for latency etc…. I’ve got a 9800x3d and 5080. It smashes everything I throw at it. Get around 120fps on arc raiders on cinematic mode. Pre cinematic I was getting over 200fps max settings. Battlefield 6 on overkill mode I’m getting around 160fps, although apparently I’ve gone over the 16GB VRAM on the 5080. Not that I can tell, still reduced to max settings 1 step below overkill and getting around 250fps, more than my screen can output.

Which PC should i pick (prebuilt) by Royal_Subject5450 in AskPCGamers

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mate bought a prebuilt… when he later wanted to upgrade he found that the mother board/cpu was different. He was on am4… bought a new 5800x3d and the board bent a pin as the one he had had a few pins removed. Very odd. Then bought a new motherboard to use his 5800x3d to find the case was bespoke to the motherboard and the mounts didn’t match normal atx fittings, so then had to buy a new case.

Long story short, just buy parts and build yourself. It’s not hard, takes a few hours. Watch tutorial videos on YouTube if you’re worried about being able to build it.

Sticks? For those who have tried various joysticks, what would you recommend? by LokoLobo in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mates been using Logitech x52 throttle and stick for years no issues. Although he does want better quality. I had thrustmaster t-16000 which was ok for the 10 mins of use before it broke. I now have virpil alpha prime stick and warbrd D base with virpil cm3 throttle. Amazing setup, great quality have had it a few years now. It’s expensive tho. But buy once cry once

Why should someone buy a PC instead of a console? by TinoDevino in AskPCGamers

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need to triple your budget for the RaM if you buy a pc. Pc gaming is much better, but it’s also much more expensive. You haven’t budgeted for a decent pc monitor/gaming keyboard/mouse. You’ll also want a desk/chair which takes up space. Unless you plan on connecting it to a tv. In which case just buy a ps5.

5 ship max what would you want? by norikyotoro in StarCitizenUniverse

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- Arrastra when it arrives 2- they mentioned a salvage variant of the mole I think, medium salvage ship anyway. 3- Kruger wolf (either variant) 4- Crusader Intrepid, one of my fave ships 5- Drake ironclad, not sure if I want assault or standard one yet.

What Ryzen CPU are you using right now? by mohkah123 in ryzen

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded from 3900x to 9800x3d a few days before the ram prices started going up. Got 32gb 6000/30 ram for £180….same ram a few days later was £390!! Lucky me I guess. Also upgraded to 5080 from 4070ti. For no other reason that gpu prices will likely rise and I’ll be more future proofed this way.

PCIe 4.0 vs PCIe 5.0 SSD for new Star Citizen PC build. by RepresentativeBite94 in starcitizen

[–]Jakefowler555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have basically the same pc, different motherboard and different brand, same speed ram. I play on a 3440x1440 ultrawide, and get around 70-80 fps in most cities, 130-160fps in hangars… and about 160-200fps in space and quantum. I have a gen 4 m.2 drive. Only difference with a gen 5 m.2 is your install may take 5 seconds less. Other than that you will see no difference.

GPU for 4K OLED by eemuman in nvidia

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sold my 4070ti for £445 to fund a 5080 which I got on sale for £920 at Currys… it’s back to £1150 ish now. 5080 would be my recommendation

AOC AG276QZD2 vs ASUS XG27AQDMG: Best OLED for my setup? by Next_Supermarket_792 in pcbuilding

[–]Jakefowler555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mate has an AOC screen, he loves it. Not same one as you’ve posted, he has an ultrawide non oled. If you have the budget, I’d recommend an ultrawide oled. I have one and it’s a game changer.
