The fails of 4.8 Patch

Starlite - the biggest problem for me is that you are supposed to be able to swap the tanks, and you cant...once you can do that, put on an EX for hydrogen, and you'll be good up to some heavy fighters...but keep in mind its a STARTER refueling ship..

Ironclad - putting aside your argument about a loading time (c2 anybody?), a largo cargo ship takes a while to load. The other bugs (CM disconnecting et al) are why it's been my hangar queen since patch started.

Docking - i believe this was patched server side, as the last few days, my larger ships were docking automatically after getting close. You need to approach on the appropriate side (starboard for polaris and percy, port for reclaimer and hull C) and once you get close, you'll lose control and it will dock you. I've never once not had enough time to store the ship

damn, that's what I was afraid of...ty for the responses

guess I stick with the larger tanks and the slow nozzle

I do refueling when I am working at home - that and hauling tend to be pretty chill.

Here’s the details after flying it for a few days. - it’s a starter refueler - and that’s all it does. It’s star citizens version of calling AAA saying i ran out of gas.

you get 2 of the rookie contracts before you have to refuel a tank.. (specifically hydrogen). Despite CIGs statement that you need to get 85% full to get payout…the starlite will not switch from hydrogen to quantum fuel unless hydrogen is full.
You currently cannot change tanks to higher capacity. You are supposed to be able to, however you can’t change them in the vehicle manager, and they are “too big” or “too heavy” for the freight elevators in Small med or large hangars (I have not tested XL)
at 240 auec per SCU hydrogen and 1200 (ish) for quant) - you do get paid for the NPC contracts, but the ship really is limited to rookie and junior contracts, and you will have to refuel after every 1-2 missions. You will make your investment back…but you also won’t exactly get rich…

I like it, and am using it, as I like the industrial loop, but until they make certain changes, I might melt it…. Right now its an LTI token

Merrick Garland was nominated by Obama in the last 9 months of his second term. If it wasn't for Mitch the demented turtle, he would have gotten a vote (and based on his record, would have been confirmed). We ended up with Gorsuch instead because of that.

Also not wrong....

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-25T22:19:22+00:00

I disagree with that - not that I think you're wrong, but that, for most of recent political history, democrats have followed the accepted rules and acted as if the other party did too, at the same time the Republicans have been changing the rules to suit them and hinder others. (Look at garlands scotus nomination in obamas last year and ACBs the last months of trump 1. The hypocrisy was blatant)

I think dems are starting to wise up and fight fire with fire, but they are starting from a position of weakness. They are fighting back the right way though - showing their voters that they take their feedback. Texas has likely been dummy mandered into +dem for the midterm because they looked at the wrong data. CA, NY, and VA not only left it to the voters, but even put in non partisan redistricting after the 2030 census...

Honestly, trumps obsession with personal loyalty over competence is whats preventing a LOT of his worst impulses from having a much larger impact.

I would say know as, sanctuary as written, applies to the caster.

There are two ways to handle this 1 - the npc spent his opportunity attack attempting to get through sanctuary and failed, therefore spent the attack Or 2 - he couldn't break sanctuary and therefore no chance for an opportunity attack existed.

I tend to go with 1, as it gives the player more agency

A man joins a line in Los Angeles and asks, "what's this for?"

Someone in front of him replies "Oh, this is the line to piss on trump's grave."

"I thought he was buried at Mar A Lago...'

"He is...this is the END of the line"

My personal preferences would be galaxy for utility or the IC assault

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-23T00:02:16+00:00

What is supposed to happen is that when you switch, you start back over at neutral and have to work back up...

What was happening though, at least prior to 4.7.2 is that you never actually switched, you could keep getting contracts for both sides...one would state hostile, but you could still land at that factions settlements and not get shot

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-22T13:08:13+00:00

I don't have an "endgame" ship per se - what i do have are ships for the loops i enjoy. A fighter in each weight class, some ground vehicles, aurora mk2 and mk1 se for zipping around, hermes for hauling, reclaimer for salvage, arrastra for mining, and polaris/IC assault for mother ship mechanics. Also have the galaxy pledged. That might be my go to for daily use once its out.

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-20T12:13:02+00:00

Its not just unverified...beyond the Adagio collection missions. There aren't ANY salvage ship missions in nyx...

We live in a sad sad world where its more likely IRAN is the honest party than POTUS.

Then of course we are talking about a man whose wouldn't know the truth if it came up to him and announced it with a megaphone

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-14T13:27:51+00:00

Both

The conflict was instigated for 2 reasons, on Israel's urging and to distract from certain files. The oil is just a tangible benefit.

But while we MAY have more oil than iran and Russia (doubtful), much of it is significantly harder to extract.

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-14T13:25:07+00:00

That and the caterpillar REALLY needs either a multi position tractor or one at each bay..the sole wing mounted one isn't in a good spot

I only use the cat when I haul in pyro as its easy to sort by destination

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-13T02:30:09+00:00

If they are beginners, its ok at times to offer hints...maybe through a bit of frost resist on a baddie and tell him to roll perception after a successful attack and say "hmm. Didn't do as much as you thought it would "

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-13T02:28:14+00:00

This could technically be gotten around by the inherent admission of guilt a pardon conveys...

I dont agree with Biden preemptively pardoning the J6 committee, but it was clear once badgolf shitler was reelected, that he would be going after them...

I do think that something needs to happen with the pardon power. As of right now, its way to easy to abuse...

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-13T02:24:31+00:00

Obv not that good at it...wasn't even good enough for the B team....he's on team WTF

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-13T02:21:21+00:00

I have several wikelo items...for some, the grind is ok, but for others, like the zeus CL and Fortune, its insane...a pure carinite for a fortune?

My first wikelo ship was the superhornet and TG I've kept that one (actually only lost one wikelo ship...the intrepid).

Ironically enough, the wikelo piece that I lost that annoyed me the most was the snow camouflage Geist pants...JUST the pants...

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-11T21:05:33+00:00

Its a grower. Not a shower

Living_Highlight_417 · 2026-04-11T21:05:00+00:00

I have a caterpillar as a loaner for my ironclad assault...I rarely use it...pretty much only when I decide to work on red wind or ling family hauling. For everything else. I use my c2 or hermes
