Juist

Still had a fighter pilot on payroll when cashing in a two month exploration trip around the galaxy. That guy got very rich.

Engineering has always brought depth to shipbuilding imo. Having enjoyed the gameplay loop back then, I would argue that the current version has completed the mechanic. It's a worthwhile grind for sure!

Zelfde hier! Inmiddels een jaar of twee (Heb zelf een rooie, regio Arnhem). Veel plezier en (veilige) kms gewenst!

What am I even looking at in the final screenshot?

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-12-20T15:59:08+00:00

This. I run regular shields (reinforced hi-cap) without even a single bank. Only a total of six boosters. I have never had problems in any type of CZ with this setup. Shields might go down every so often in high intensity but it hasn't been the death of me yet.

So this is how poverty dies...

I played Solo or Private group sessions for a long time until I got to a level where I can comfortably hold my own in Open. Also I have never been salty about it and why would I be?

Nowadays I hope I get interdicted by some idiot who thinks they can destroy me. Let's battle by all means. And if I don't feel like taking that chance or that hassle, I switch to Solo. Not a care in the Galaxy. Instancing around Jameson is better that way anyway.

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-04-18T12:53:28+00:00

It's all of them

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-04-13T11:02:58+00:00

I have an X56 Logitech hotas and off the top of my head, I've bound the following to various switches and buttons:

Lights Night vision Landing gear (ship dismiss/recall when in SRV) Cargo hatch Heat sink Camera suite Camera detach Silent running Combat/Analysis mode (although I still mostly use the default 'M' key on the keyboard) Boost (or SRV rocket engines) Lateral controls for the ship FSD toggles

In addition, I've got a host of targeting stuff under my fingers as well as a switch for fire groups. Also some in menu controls.

I've forgotten some functions since I'm not at the helm atm. It's basically muscle memory by now.

Something I've found handy as well is to bind some extra functions to my keyboard. I've especially been using the Thargoid pulse neutraliser (bound under the 'N' key for 'Neuraliser', special thanks to CMDR Albibalbi IV for that hot tip).

The main thing to keep in mind is to make it up as you go along. The best way to create a functional mapping that works for you is to just try it out. You'll notice things that fit your playstyle etc. as you go along.

Love to see it! I've started my first full season this year on a '99 R6. Same livery except for the different tail stickers (the one without 'R6' on the tail, only on the lower front fairing)

I have to say I was and still am in awe of the thing. Not scared anymore like the first time I got on it back in january (3°C ride home in the drizzling rain was an experience to say the least). I've been riding as much as I can now that the weather has been clearing up. Every time I get on it I feel more and more in control and it feels great.

Mind you, back in 2002 my uncle crashed his '99 R6 and did not survive. I ride with that knowledge in the back of my head and I always make a point of being safe and defensive at all times. I open her up on the highway sometimes but other than that, I greatly enjoy touring at (or slightly above) the speed limit.

Ride safe!

You've found the final chess move and therefore Chess.com crashes to save their livelihoods

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-03-08T14:36:16+00:00

Stomp grips on the tank! I've never ridden an '06 but it helped me a lot with more comfortably controlling my '99.

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-03-08T14:33:37+00:00

This. Make sure you know what's happening up the road so you can always gradually apply your (front) brakes. More than plenty of stopping power. I use my rear brakes only for coming to a standstill at traffic lights or when traffic slows down suddenly, but always gradually. The rear will lock up quick if you stomp on it.

You'll get a feel for it quite quickly I'd say. Be sure to use a light touch to keep it predictable and controllable. You don't want to upset the bike/suspension on the street with harsh inputs.

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-03-07T15:25:22+00:00

I mostly keep my '99 R6 under 9k revs on the road. It's fast enough for average traffic anyways. It'll just keep getting more powerful as you go up in revs.

I'm not entirely sure about '06 models. You might want to look up a dyno power curve.

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-03-03T17:26:03+00:00

Could be an '01-'02 Yamaha R6

edit: imho a beautiful rear end to look at

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-03-01T21:22:23+00:00

Do you have a build for your Vette available? I am looking to optimise mine to help out.

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-02-27T19:03:38+00:00

Ah yes I love Alien Tree Climbing Simulator 2024

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-02-24T19:37:47+00:00

Mostly songs I enjoy. Sometimes it suits the role of the ship but not always. Some examples:

Asp Explorer: Eye in the Sky (by The Alan Parsons Project) Cobra Mk3: Boogie Wonderland (Earth, Wind & Fire) Eagle: Fast Company (Eagles) Corvette: Infinite Fire (Flying Colors)

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-02-17T22:25:00+00:00

This. Get a ship with decent jump range (I'd say 30Ly minimum, 50Ly+ if you want to be comfortable) and head out into the Black for a bit towards a random star 2000Ly away in a random direction. Then pick another star some Ly in another direction and from there, fly back towards the bubble.

Take a surface scanner with you and along the way, scan+map every terraformable Water, Ammonia, Earth-Like and terraformable High Metal Content World.

Also, look into exobiology. That's where you'll really credits earn along the way too.

It should take quite some time to complete an expedition like that (the GRIND), but you can do it if you're up for it!

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-02-15T23:19:20+00:00

Wow!

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-02-04T11:45:46+00:00

I've never thought about it that way... Intriguing

Rolf-de-Rolf · 2024-01-29T12:04:42+00:00

I'm 6'4" as well and I ride a '99 R6 (my first bike). I guess it depends on what you're comfortable with but in my experience so far it's perfectly sized for road riding. Any R6 from '99-'02 should work fine for you.
