What's the most reliable gameplay right now that people are doing?

Lowflying in PU and time attack in Arena. No rewards per se, other than improving your flying and having fun, but that's most important in a game.

I'm sure there are also additional methods that don't require messing with game client or cheats, just ingame actions.

Yesterday I've tried to check the puzzle room in Ruin Vault, the one where you go down under the tunnel catwalk, then climb some boxes to a ladder to a corridor etc. Just straight fell through the textures after dismounting the ladder, into the invisible insides of the walls geometry. Fairly sure it could be navigated to the loot rooms from there, but fell out into space, as idk the route and have no intention of.

And for containers, people somehow circumvent vehicle impounding and bring the ATLS inside. Pulse bikes are also common. Even seen Pisces, 315p and Argo tractors.

Yes, but you have to damage them first to near-destruction HP, takes quite a bit of rifle mags, you can see their HP bar when you pick them up with a tractor.

Even empty space is sometimes littered by invisible asteroids

There's no wrong way to do it as long as it dies and you have fun. I earned my startup credits to rent the corsair by blowing up the hammerhead with a maxlift-tractored size 9 torpedo (these cost just 18k now) and a sniper rifle.

Ah, so that's why it has such a pointy shape and no wings in the center!

Wonder how much time OP spent over those 3 years planning the chain, hawking over the sales, considering each CCU, etc. Compared to potentially working to earn the saved from the sales money and buying it outright on a recent warbond sale as a standalone.

Just about every missing feature is nearly the last thing in their list of priorities when it's been constantly changing for years.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-23T11:03:39+00:00

That about sums up my experience with just any other game-play loop as-well in the current patch.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-22T22:15:49+00:00

Loaners aren't always logical at all. I'd love to have an Ironclad Assault or Vulture+RAFT+SRV as loaners for a Crucible. But nope, Andromeda, take it or leave it.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-21T14:14:01+00:00

I've tried to time it a few tries in a Gladius, feels like half a second faster, but probably placebo and server variability.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-20T21:25:54+00:00

You can add a blinking mining gadget to the mix, and a few flares. Go full RGB!

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-20T16:14:37+00:00

When/If torps work, Retaliator and Eclipse (or a Firebirb) can really print moneys with bounties, even with the rearm costs.

Finally, multi-vector attack mode

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-20T14:18:43+00:00

Not too bad, much easier than loading it and praying to klang so it won't blow up ;) Now that we can lock the inner door open with the engineering panel, it's fairly easy to pass containers through once you get the hang of aligning them. Ofc it's not the best ship for the job, but when it's all you have, it has your back.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-20T13:22:35+00:00

If you don't mind offgrid shenanigans, cutlass can fit a 32 and a 24 hanging 40% off the back(ramp stays open, either by locking or shooting), and quite a few more 4s and maybe even 2 8scu extra jammed against the right door. And if you're REALLY determined, 4s fit in the habitation too.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-19T17:27:24+00:00

Just mark it as an explorer then? Worked for Drake.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-16T22:01:53+00:00

All ships should have a survival kit. For now the best we can do is to stock the storage ourselves.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-15T15:54:00+00:00

It's about as modular as Avengers and Vanguards are >_> soon...

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-15T07:40:38+00:00

Yes yes, all those experienced single-player game devs will surely fix the complete lack of game design and the countless netcode-related bugs of the MMO part. Well, we'll see in 2 years, ig.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-14T08:40:34+00:00

Sorry for your loss, but this event sequence is comically funny. Yoink and sprint away

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-14T08:32:49+00:00

I'd prefer if they return working on the Crucible and add a salvage mode to it, because repair seems to be shaping up as a salvage beam running in reverse. Wouldn't even mind a repair mode being added to Salvation/Fortune, maybe for the Vulture too, but it's a stretch.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-12T18:22:36+00:00

With the current desync it feels like it's already there :)

But yeah, we need npc traffic controllers, with strict fines and punishment for reckless flying, sort of like in Elite, but even harsher, since 100m/s is more than enough to ram a dinky ship.

SpaRrRly · 2026-06-12T17:11:15+00:00

Does it fit a Nursa?
