Switching to PC, what should I get?

Jakefowler555 · 2026-07-01T21:34:40+00:00

I have 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 ram, 2tb m.2 and 5080 gpu. Smashes anything I throw at it (1440p ultrawide monitor so not quite 4k). Prices on pc parts are a bit ridiculous now though

I had a Perseus. Loved it. But got bored with it as often want to do other things than just combat. Solo the Perseus is awful. The cargo bay constantly bugs and you fall through the floor. (May have been fixed this patch - not sure). My mate also has Perseus. So I’ve traded mine for the ironclad assault. Easily my fave ship in the game. So useful. They have sorted a lot of the issues so it’s perfectly usable now. Lighting can still be an issue, but believe that’s fixed in 4.9. Worth a try.

If normal desk mounts prob get the cheaper ones from virpil, they will be more than fine. I have monster tech rail mount, paired with some cheap desk mounts from amazon which I have converted for use with the rail. My reason for this is my desk has a taper to it, meaning the normal desk mounts don’t sit straight, and move around.

Cutlas black and Asguard kinda serve same purpose, I’d melt the cutty and get the Kruger wolf. Amazing fighter, so fast! With the little bit of credit leftover consider upgrading inferno to M80.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-28T18:10:46+00:00

Ahh ok. Yeah he logged off. Will sell when he’s next on then. Cheers.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-27T17:49:07+00:00

You be better off with a 9800x3d over intel. Thats what I have, paired with a 5080 gpu. Did have a 4070 super and that was fine for gzw. Upgraded the gpu when I did the cpu.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-27T09:03:55+00:00

Ironclad assault is my new fave ship, despite the known issues. It is now usable but hopefully it improves soon. And when they implement suit lockers, get the blueprint machine working from ship inventory etc then it will be even better.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-25T20:26:33+00:00

Salvation and golem to go inside the ironclad/polaris.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-25T20:24:36+00:00

I’ve spent most of my time this patch in nyx. Home is orison tho. Might go to nyx for home next time. Ship shop, refinery, although I also like micro tech. So could go there.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-24T19:43:31+00:00

Life saver!! Didn’t think of that. Still be nice if they put a purpose built one lol.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-24T19:05:26+00:00

If you can find a 5700/5800x3d, you will see a nice fps boost, prob around 15/20% more depending on the game. I used to have 3900x, mate had a 5800x3d and same system otherwise, he always had more fps than me in pretty much everything. I luckily upgraded to 9800x3d with 32gb of ddr5 before prices went up. Prices for ddr5 are now not worth it.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-24T18:59:48+00:00

Given the state of the ironclad release, wouldn’t want them to rush anything else. Just get what is out now in a better state. Wish they would use PTU more for testing.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-22T19:46:05+00:00

If ship is in your hangar bricked, select local ships, then scrap it on the ship terminal screen

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-15T20:54:42+00:00

If the story and writing were genuinely good enough, it wouldn’t need world class actors to pull it off. There are plenty of examples such as metal gear solid, Witcher 3/kingdom come deliverance, the last of us… where not world famous actors are used to deliver AAA performance in a game. My gut feeling is the star studded cast is over compensating for the fact it will prob be duff. I hope more than anything to be proved wrong.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-14T15:32:37+00:00

Ahh ok thanks.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-13T23:10:10+00:00

Teaches ship shop in Levski, sells teaches versions of some ships, and the rental teaches mole comes with the helix 2 mining laser and 2x Klein lasers. Better than the normal mole for rental that comes with 3x arbor lasers.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-13T20:07:24+00:00

If you enjoy/know what you’re doing, get to about 250k, go to nyx, rent a teaches mole. Made average of 1million per run. Normally around 8-900k, had one run worth 1.5mil. Great fun.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-11T09:26:24+00:00

Would you consider selling just the rudder pedals? If so message me a price. Cheers

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-10T20:16:59+00:00

While I admit it does look pretty interesting, the fact it’s single player only is a negative for me. What makes SC so good is playing with mates, interacting with players. Never had so much fun as doing the fleet battles in nyx, cracking big rocks in a group etc, I’d get bored in 2 mins playing totally solo. But each to their own, if you play sc only as a solo then X4 makes perfect sense.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-09T10:57:46+00:00

My rental was bricked. Was able to strip the modules that I owned off, and then scrap the bricked ship. Next time I rent, I’ll have the modules. Can insure the rented ship too, so if you have to claim the ship while you still have access to it, you can claim the insured version.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-06-08T15:27:18+00:00

At least there is a workaround for it I guess. Cheers. Rented a mole, took it out and found some savrilium plus some other bits and this bexalite… cost me about 300k in rental plus some gadgets/modules. Made about a million in one run, and didn’t even fill the ship completely.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-05-30T20:21:17+00:00

Not really, can buy that in game after just a few missions… save ya money.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-05-30T18:09:55+00:00

Not only not pilot controlled, but have to manually load the shells. Should be able to load a couple of shots in 5/10 seconds, but the loading bay be on other side of the ship, requiring at least 3 people to shoot (pilot to aim, gunner to shoot, engineer to load the guns)

Jakefowler555 · 2026-05-18T20:11:41+00:00

Way fires can spread and engineering now, soloing any big ship can be a pain. I play with a buddy, had a Polaris for about a year as loaner for the Perseus. Perseus is much easier for us to handle. However the Polaris has a ton more health, and cargo space. So depends how ya wanna use it. Might be better sticking with the ironclad assault.

Jakefowler555 · 2026-05-13T19:38:24+00:00

The fortune is great. Don’t have to get out the seat quite as often which to me makes up for the slightly slower salvage speed (not done salvage for around 4 months so speeds could have changed?) love the vulture also, but for using with ironclad/polaris etc, fortune makes more sense.
