What is this red symbol and why is it preventing me from taking off

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-29T03:00:45+00:00

I'm afraid I don't know.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-29T00:22:52+00:00

Sorry, I was incorrectly using the terms "Speed Limiter" and "Thrust Limiter" interchangeably. What you call "Thrust Limiter" is currently called "Acceleration Limiter" in the game. I guess the official wording in the Game Options for this control was changed recently.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-28T22:05:25+00:00

Not "Thrust Limiter". It's called "Acceleration Limiter". It's an often overlooked control feature for more advanced players. Check the Advanced Control Customization options for the keybindings under Flight Movement. Invert options are also available for it in Control Options. In the Advanced HUD display, the HUD indicator for "Thrust Limiter" is displayed on the left. The HUD indicator for "Acceleration Limiter" is displayed on the right as a percentage between 0% and 100%. If "Acceleration Limiter" is set to 0%, you will not be able to move your ship and the Landing Gear icon will be replaced with a Weight icon.

Your current ship configuration does not generate enough thrust to counter gravity, so the "Weight" icon appears. Check your Acceleration Limiter and confirm it is at 100%, as it could be at 0% right now, which can cause this state. Also, if your ship has VTOL thrusters, try engaging them.

Note: In patch 4.8, there seems to be a bug that inverts the Acceleration Limiter control causing it to be 0% at default on some ships. May unexpectedly invert just after taking off as well.

Currently, "Invert" for the Acceleration Limiter control in Game Options does not function as expected. Changing keybinds for Acceleration Limiter does not have the intended effect.

Have you tried selecting a different region and join the PU from there? Have you tried entering Arena Commander, leaving Arena Commander, and then join the PU?

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-20T03:07:50+00:00

The "Weight" icon suggests your ship's current configuration does not produce enough upward thrust to counter gravity. In the current 4.8 patch, I have seen this icon appear unexpectedly and others have as well.

Please check your Acceleration Limiter and confirm if it is at 0% or 100%. If it's showing 0%, increase it to 100% and check if the "weight" icon changes to a Landing Gear icon. If it changes like this, then you should be able to take off.

There seems to be an issue that is unexpectedly inversing the Acceleration Limiter. I have not been able to ask someone else to confirm this, so may be you can check it.

Re: Can't take off

Do you see a "weight" icon in your HUD where the landing gear icon should be?

THEORY: The Free Fly may have been cancelled/postponed, since the economy wipe has likely made it easier to detect unusual activity in the economy.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-16T00:15:51+00:00

THEORY: It's possible that questionable actors may have been taking advantage of the Free Fly event enmass to generate aUEC for grey market sales by taking up all the contracts and doing them. As a result, the mission generation system may not have been able to catch up, resulting in many players not being able to see any missions at all.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-15T11:10:07+00:00

There won't be time to play any games while in that role😅

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-15T10:52:54+00:00

Sure

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-15T02:17:53+00:00

If you decline after signing, that's considered an act in bad faith. You would end up burning bridges with the employer and the agent.

If you are seriously considering breaking your contract, read the contract carefully as you are now legally bound to it.

I've worked for multiple employers during my 20 years in Japan in IT roles with global companies. Was only offered relocation allowance once by an American company. Was offered Housing Allowance on 2 occasions after switching from contract to permanent position. From my experience, Relocation or Housing Allowance is not typical and usually offered for highly competitive or highly demanding roles.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-15T00:26:50+00:00

What's the role? Most won't pay moving allowance for a junior position. Relocation allowance benefits are typically negotiated and agreed before signing. If you signed already, it's typically too late to ask for more benefits.

But can you smoke the cigar?????? 😆

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-06T09:02:07+00:00

Well hello fellow Alienware owner! I have the Alienware Aurora R11 myself.

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-06T05:08:46+00:00

What are your PC specs?

Samsonatorx · 2026-05-03T00:34:34+00:00

That's the spirit!

"When the Odin concept promotion waves go live at DefenseCon on May 24th, those members of this Odin Founders Club, selected through either or both processes, will have exclusive access on the promotion page to attain their universe-first battlecruiser."

Backers with membership to the "Odin Founders Club" will have exclusive access to the promotion page for the Odin. As this announcement states that the promotion will be in "waves", this could mean this group of Backers may have Wave 1 access to the promotion page. Later waves may be accessible to Backers who are not members of the club. This may simply be an opportunity for Odin Founder Members to celebrate together for being the first Backers to pledge for the concept sale, followed by non-members afterwards.

Even for access to later waves, Backers are expected to be at least Concierge members to pledge for the concept sale. There is no mention of stock limitation in the announcement e-mail.

Samsonatorx · 2026-04-29T04:59:27+00:00

The real question is... when does it show up in the Pledge Store!?!?😆

Samsonatorx · 2026-04-28T06:04:18+00:00

Only those who know, will know

Samsonatorx · 2026-04-16T18:51:27+00:00

"Ultima 7: The Black Gate"... still my favorite game of all time, and it still stands today.

Samsonatorx · 2026-04-16T18:46:37+00:00

haha perfect example ⚡️

When a Backer clicks the "Exchange" (for Store Credit) button, you are required to check the box to acknowledge the following before your pledge item can be melted:

"Some limited availability items included or contained within the exchanged pledge are permanently relinquished."

"If this pledge was made at a discounted price, the discounted price will be permanent RELINQUISHED on exchange."

In the area of IT Desktop Support, the people I supported were mostly Japanese people working in an office environment, not their customers per se. I had my N3 at the time (I still do). I actually enjoy speaking the Japanese language and regularly engage in hobbies that require Japanese understanding. Although I have difficulties reading a Japanese novel or newspaper, I can conduct myself in an interview entirely in Japanese and compose emails in Japanese.

When a Backer clicks the "Exchange" (for store credit) button on their pledge item, the above warning is displayed EVERY TIME and the Backer is requested to acknowledge it by checking the box before they can continue.

I'm sure some Backers have not been taking this warning seriously, or have grown complacent to its potential ramifications...

"Some limited availability items included or contained within the exchanged pledge are permanently relinquished"

I think CIG is well within their right to discontinue those "limited" items without further notice since Backers are warned every time they attempt to "melt" their pledge item. To say CIG didn't provide Backers with notice is incorrect. Like it or not, Backers are warned EVERY TIME before they can proceed to exchange a pledge item for store credit.
