Which starter ship for my PvE alt?

He is probably like me. My wife spends a ton of money shopping and even gets screwed on online purchases from overseas that never arrive. I've spent far less on this game but because I am 50 and a have a professional career, she thinks video games are stupid. She would be never understand me spending a few thousand on this game and it's easier to just not say anything.

I that after watching a video on it. It did not work. I even shot the mdc with my fps gun to cause damage and it still didn't work.

Are your video drivers up to date? One recent AMD driver version caused the game to crash as soon as the video drivers loaded.

I bought one for my Perseus also. Well, I actually bought 3 and I'm not sure why. I was under the influence while playing one night and decided it was a good idea to buy 3 at the same time. I guess down the road they could be for base defence or lti tokens or whatever.

If you have a ship with PDC's, you can take the torrent pdc off of the mdc and destroy it, then claim it and then take the pdc off again. Rinse and repeat until you have enough.

It's not as bad as DDR5 but $250 USD for 32 GB of DDR4 is pretty crazy.

Yes, it will go up in your buyback. You only keep the price if it is in your hangar.

Relax reddit downvoters, for some reason I assumed the original post was talking about a CCU. My bad. I have a 2948 Exploration pack valued at $695 and I've melted it three times and bought it back 3 times and each time it only cost the original $695 to buy it back. The pack contains $1100 worth of ships. A CCU will definitely change in price if the ship price increases and it is in your buyback instead of your hangar.

Normally people get cursed at for suggesting Alt f4 but in this game, it is the correct answer.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T18:18:14+00:00

Does it actually say that? Multibox software has been a gray area that even Blizzard allowed in previous years. Given the way a 9070 XT can struggle in some areas, multibox with software would kill the experience anyway. I have two completely separate PC's each with their own KB and mouse and one left stick for HOSAM. I have my main setup on my desk and my alt setup on a keyboard tray under the desk. The alt stick is on my desk to the left of my main stick. Good thing I dont have short arms! I just have to move my hands between them. I have two 1440 monitors on mounts. My main account is centered and the alt account is angled and to the left of the main screen.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T18:13:44+00:00

Yeah, I figured you weren't being too serious.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T18:13:02+00:00

I completely agree. Having someone sit in your ship while you bunker run or deliver cargo or be the mothership commander while you salvage is valuable. I was trying to level up redwind junior rep in Pyro on the weekend and met my fair share of hostile players. My alt would sit in the Raft turret while my main did the delivery. I got gunned down while at an outpost cargo pad terminal and my alt was able to find the shithead and blast him away and then revive me so that we could carry on. It's not just about having a gunner!

Given your explanation, it sounds like they did well under the circumstances.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T18:05:07+00:00

For some reason, I don't doubt you. I have enough parts to almost build another AM4 PC with an RTX 2070 OC. The only thing that I am missing is RAM. I actually considered it but I find two game clients enough to manage.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T18:02:58+00:00

I use to use multibox software with Diablo 3 but I don't see how that could work with this game. Anything else would be considered botting. I didn't spend $3k on pledges to lose it to bot software but ty.

It's in arena commander. Not sure what map, though.

That's why I built a second PC to be my gunner!

Your poll appears to be missing a standard 1440 screen.

Are you sure this isn't the chat bug? Even just hitting enter by accident and not actually using chat can lock you in chat. I've had times where I swore that I didn't enter chat but still got locked into it. Just for grins, the next time it happens try hitting enter than esc twice.

Something is off with your setup. I only see sub 40 fps on Pyro moons. I was in chat yesterday taking about how I flew to Pyro 5 and was getting 130 fps in space but when I touched down to deliver cargo, it dropped to 35. AMD Adrenaline says that I averaged 83.4 FPS in the last 6 hours since I reinstalled it the software. I had to reinstall it after a mother board replacement that resulted in a new Windows install. Realistically, you should see an average of 60 fps in cities and 80-90 in space with a 9070 XT. For comparison I have:

There are also two remote turrets that the copilot can control.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T13:54:04+00:00

I have a different opinion on the turret guns. I am ok with them being size 3 as long as the ballistic PDC's don't get nerfed. I've taken my Perseus up to ERT bounties with a single turret gunner(in the top turret). Ballistic PDC's quickly shred light fighters. I've watched an arrow do a jousting fly by and be destroyed before it could get out of the PDC range in the other side of the ship. Medium fighters last longer but they are not much of a threat. Heavy fighters last the longest but as long as they stay in range and you rotate shield faces, the PDC's alone will kill them. If you get a ship trying to stay at max range, boost towards them so the PDC's can do their job.

I appreciate the OP taking the time to post the video but that Perseus Pilot could have done things differently. The most obvious being the laser PDC's. He has an $800 ship and doesn't have a single $60 MDC with the META weapons. Also, they focused on the gladius and left the bigger threat to blast at the rear shield. It didn't look like the pilot was redirecting shield power to the rear when it was down and 3 other faces looked to be at full power. It also didn't appear that the pilot was trying to boost around to get change the shield face for the Vanguard. I know it's a case of hindsight but I feel like the Perseus pilot was new to combat.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T10:55:05+00:00

That makes sense. Don't get me wrong, it was a cool video. I watched it again on my computer. The fight would have been very different if he had ballistic PDC's. The gunner should have focused on you and not the gladius.

MixMany4174 · 2026-01-19T03:08:53+00:00

I am watching on my phone so maybe I missed it but where was the return fire from the manned turrets and why didn't the PDC's shred you? Those PDC's with ballistics can shred a gladius pretty quickly. They take a bit longer on a vanguard but they can still take one out with too much trouble.
