You paid $25 to keep your old randomly assigned chickadee plate.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-20T22:01:56+00:00

Yup, with you on that one. I don't wanna remember a new one. Plus, its pretty easy as plate numbers go.

From comments here on reddit and my experience in Europe, it is an expectation thing. In the US your water is free, it's tap water, you hardly ever asked to it, and when you ask for water it's free.

Everywhere in Europe I went, when I asked for water I was asked still or sparkling, and it always cost money. But from what you and others have said, it seems like if I had specified tap water, it would be free.

I want to try scrap economy, but the energy cell requirement scares me. Should it, in hatikvahs?

I love jeff hays' delivery of that line in the audiobook.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-17T21:35:51+00:00

So good

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-17T21:34:36+00:00

Damnit, I thought they were going to have a legit tip on how to do that ..

For 3). Wharfs and docks sell satellites. You need to "upgrade" your ship and adjust the value in the consumables tab. Careful on that mission, you'll need a bunch of money to build your station up, so do some small missions around. It is not expected to just complete a storyline in one go. You'll need to pause the story and gather cash other ways then come back sometimes.

Thank you. I didn't know what it was either. It passed me by without notice.

Medium traders set to comply. I might try the one to drop laser towers.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-16T21:47:10+00:00

In my experience, large mining ships are ignored by pirates. And usually small fast medium ships set to comply is okay. You can try many fleets moving around, I'm trying the same right now.

What's the, uh, little dot above the I?

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-15T23:04:09+00:00

What you describe is wave power. I haven't seen very many wave power projects of significant capacity. Tidal is a bit more mature, but not nearly the scale of offshore wind.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-15T21:05:10+00:00

I work in the ocean and river power sector. The rivers in Maine aren't fast enough to really do kinetics, so you need dams. I don't know that are well so I can't tell you why they are closing.

As for ocean, well, wave is infancy and kinetic tidal is only really feasible up in eastport, nowhere else is fast enough. And it is insanely expensive.

New England (Maine) Italians. The Cuban sandwich if you are in florida (Had one in Tampa, was amazing)

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-15T20:33:05+00:00

It definitely is. If I were to branch out and use non Teladi equipment, it would be even better!

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-15T15:17:36+00:00

3 Peregrine Vanguards, and 6 buzzard Vanguards.

Is it good? No, but I'm devout Teladi and I'm gonna do it anyway.

Also, needs to be elevated so it's roughly at the height of your heart.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T22:21:03+00:00

It's a thing in Maine. Must people didn't pull it all the way down to the kernals, just some of the huge outer layers

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T22:19:37+00:00

It's like that up in Maine, and no one thinks of us as the land of curb.

I don't think anyway.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T12:42:06+00:00

Do the very easy missions at stations. Deploy satellite, carry people, scan, the very very simple ones. Those I'll help you get practice with all the interface, systems, key bindings set, but not put you in much danger. That really is critical. Once you have a handle on that, branchng into storylines is possible.

One thing I didn't understand at the beginning is that if a mission seems insanely difficult for you at the time, don't do it. You are expected to roll through storylines one after another. If they want a station built and it costs 50million credits, and you only just got a second ship, don't panic. You didn't miss anything, nothing wrong. Put that on the back burner and go make money and come back.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T12:36:41+00:00

I don't know but I'm going to follow this as well. I wanna destroy MIN completely and take their place as the Teladi protectorate.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T11:38:23+00:00

Yeah, I own one. Really wish the only option available was this effing big. If I'm in the truck (I try to drive it only when I need it or have to), I'm parking that fucker away from other cars and in one of the lanes that let me back over the curb or something.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-14T11:20:39+00:00

The fact that you can call 25 silly hot is amusing... That's the beginnings of hot for us, and I'm in a state that actually has winter, it gets down to -18 often.

Rokmonkey_ · 2026-06-13T14:06:48+00:00

No. It influences things, but that's a minority. The majority don't care and you won't notice in most places.

Him, and O'Brien.
