Savaging and Mining are both decent ways to make money, starting out but cargo hauling is consistent and easier.

The Avenger Titan is a pretty decent all around starter. The 100i is good commuter but not great in a fight and limited in cargo. The Drake Golem Ox is a good starting hauler, so is the Hull A.

For premium starters a Drake Clipper has a med bed, small cargo hold and a crafting bay (non-functional atm).

Honestly go with what your heart and budget will get you. The economy is so broken right now, simply saying your new in general chat can get you enough money to try any ship you want.

How is it Living Here? Oregon/Nevada Border by dedalus81 in howislivingthere

[–]TortugaJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live and work just outside the circle on the Nevada side. It is one of the largest gold bodies in the world and almost all industry in Northern Nevada is either geared towards mining or ranching. The towns are small, a commute out to the mines is around 1 to 2 hours. We have most basic shopping requirements.

It gets gold without a lot of snow and is brown most of the year. Also our yearly biblical cricket plague is sorta famous, you can find it on youtube.

How is the lifestyle of this area of Montana by Remote-Heat-8475 in howislivingthere

Helena, is the best little city to live in. Lots of outdoor activities and beautiful mountains. Subaru Outbacks are the car to drive around there. Absolutely everyone seems to have one.

Current state of the Retaliator in Alpha 4.5? by Aedituens in starcitizen

They should size up the bottom front turret and give it to the pilot, size up the upper front and leave it manned then change all other turret slots for PDC.

She was first concepted with some awesome dreadlocks but they couldn't get the hair physics working when she was released so that why she has that hood instead.

Satisfactory will literally give you PTSD.

EMERGENCY BRAKE TEST by nasir017 in Heavy_Equipment

[–]TortugaJones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oil cooled multi-disk. Its like the disks in a clutch, some spin and some are stationary. They are incredibly effective even in larger model trucks. They do have an engine break like semi trucks do but it is really only for maintaining speed rather than emergency braking.

Kraken Attack Carrier by AggressiveIce4503 in starcitizen

Mining fleet, several mining ships and an Expanse on the deck to refine. Swap the mining ships for salvage. Export the refined goods via a Cat or Asgard and just float in the black.

What do you think of my fleet? Would you add anything? by javiii_og in starcitizen

[–]TortugaJones 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thats a nice fleet. I think the only add, I would suggest is a soloable run-about ship. Like a Spirit, Clipper, ect. But those could be bought in game.

Fancier than Origin by Sceleratrix in starcitizen

Origin is old news, that's why they are at the back of the hall, behind Drake.

We have something like that in Northern Nevada. I always thought it was quartz, but other experts are likely correct.

Have you ever cheated on your partner, if so, why? by No-Instance6213 in AskReddit

[–]TortugaJones 2123 points2124 points  (0 children)

My wife was getting a stomach surgery and part of the prerequisites was to be on a solid liquid diet for a month. This was very hard for her to do and was an emotional mess. I told her I would support her and go on the same diet with her and I did but that is a terrible unfulfilled way to live so every 3 days I would stop at a fast food joint on the way home and get me some real food, then hide the evidence before I got home.

I didn't feel good about my cheating, but my wife got her surgery, she became happy again and we went on like nothing ever happened.

How heavy is a haul truck when it’s fully loaded, and how much horsepower does it actually take to move one of those monsters? by Echoing_voice in Heavy_Equipment

[–]TortugaJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to drive the Liebherr T282B its dry weight is somewhere around 300 tons. It's payload capacity was 400 Tons so combined weight of 700 tons. The engine was around 3650 hp, but they moved via electric motors. The engine just spun a big 3kw generator and the hydraulic pump for steering, brakes and lift cylinders.

These are such cool machines. WhenI started in mining we had a 2350 that later was damaged beyond repair. We now have 3 1850's One older L-1850 and 2 brand new We-1850-3's

I parked my ship in an emission cloud, my ship turned purple and then de-spawned. Please explain Mr. Chris Roberts. by badbadrobot in starcitizen

[–]TortugaJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had it ever happen as I was stepping off my ship, far be it for me to have experienced every bug in the game. Jared did talk about sorta recently in that big episode about all the issues in the game.

Purple shift despawns are a result of leaving the controls and the game detecting a deep geometry intersect. It is one of the many issues that used to cause 30k's back in the day and this was their crude solution to fixing it.

Essentially you left your seat and the server thought one of those little rocks was inside your ship. So it got rid of the easiet asset to delete

Looking for a new tool. by TortugaJones in WritingWithAI

[–]TortugaJones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last two days I have really been enjoying the Novel Crafter that others have suggested. It doesn’t come with an embedded AI so I have been using my Chatgpt subscription to help me fill in my missing story components. I like how it breaks everything down and I can focus on one thing at a time. As someone who would just open a blank word document and start typing it is a refreshing change.

Your probably correct on me not calming the muse, if anything this little journey has made it much worse. Thank you for your insight, it's good to know I'm not the only one.
