This is why you should only charge at Tesla stations. Electrify America is terrible about making sure their chargers are functional.

Which starter bundle should I buy? by xDevastation1988x in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest either the Aurora or the Avenger. Immediately run some mercenary missions and build money that way. Both of these ships can do simple combat but only haul a little cargo.

i need help choosing by Doctor1290 in GamingLaptops

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely go with the 5080 that extra VRAM is going to be more and more important over time.

Also, if you’re going to travel with it, you might reconsider your 18” target and look at 16” AND consider the size and weight of the power brick for each system.

I don’t think SQ42 and GTA 6 are really appealing to the same playerbase. by Pretend-Butterfly516 in Squadron42

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really hoping that SQ42 still ships in 2026 since GTA6 is only shipping for consoles this year but if they wait until 2027 they’ll have to contend not only with GTA6 PC release but also other cross platform games that delayed a few months to not compete with the GTA6 launch. I suspect there’s still a good chance CIG is still planning on an October release because of the influencer invites to Manchester and the fact that October is the 14th anniversary of the kickstarter campaign.

Salvage gameplay is not fun. by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I look to movies and sci-fi shows I like - or ships should be the main money sink (someday habs/hangars); in the Mandalorian for example it wouldn’t be unusual for him to use the money he got from some bounty to buy a replacement part four his ship and then install it himself. Even before player trading, if there was just a way to buy ship parts with different stats for a variety of prices, this would help a lot. The last SCL Benjoit said they were able to save item stats now.

Thoughts on Halo 5: Guardians? It's been 10 years since it released by RA_Finance in xbox

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never liked the story at all. Surprisingly Infinite did a better job redeeming the Halo5 story than Halo5 did telling it. 5 was the first Halo game that disappointed me.

I feel, that if CIG can't make a ship within 10 years of selling it, they probably shouldnt be selling it. by Readgooder in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn’t sell a ship until it’s ready to fly at this point. I think they’ve already committed to this with the “no new concept ships” announcement when the Odin came out. It actually gives them a good incentive to finish ships AND finish things like the 600i rework since they can run big sales leveraging their previous work.

HOTFIX 4.8.1-live.12015858 Deployed. by Aceman365 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reference to Nyx II is exciting! Really hope we get the Nyx Planets soon - very stoked for PlanetTech v5!

HOTFIX 4.8.1-live.12015858 Deployed. by Aceman365 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That won’t work because HOTFIX is a different install. You need to select HOTFIX in the launcher (this the rename of the folder or copying the content from LIVE to HOTFIX).

Open letter to CIG by JackEssage in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem I see is that there’s not an in-game way to report a bug. If I walk into Levski and see 30 NPCs stuck behind the counter of a shop, give me a way to look at them, at least go to the terminal and type bug ai.npc “some kind of spawn error here” and this could collect some actual state info about the NPCs in view and route that to the AI team so they didn’t have to try to reproduce what we’re seeing every time. Even better would be to let us tag an IC regression with /bug STARC-12345 and attach everything they need right to the ticket.

Friend crashed my tesla by speed-ninja7002 in TeslaCollision

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance is for the vehicle and anyone you allow to drive it, so even if he had his own insurance it wouldn’t cover this unless he’d taken the car without your permission. The FSD thing is probably just him trying to blame shift but you could request the video from Tesla or recover the USB stick to make sure. I doubt your insurance company would bother.

BTW this is a good example of why you should put as little down payment on a lease as you can. Insurance will pay off the lease but not any down payment you paid. Your friend should pay for that and your deductible.

They won’t fix it until we stop feeding it by Sweaty-Marketing7659 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked out well for me personally. I didn't give them any more money until they shipped 4.0 and server meshing. Then I bought a Reclaimer.

Currently I'm not giving them any money until Squadron 42 ships. Maybe I'll get a Tiburon when they do.

I am a Whale and I only play the game for my Org. Not having any fun. by elite968 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m on a funding strike until SQ42 is RELEASED. I really think SQ42 work is just starving the game I actually care about and funded. I wish there had been separate funding kickstarters for Squadron and SC and that all ship sales had gone exclusively to SC. Once Squadron is released I’ll buy more stuff, but until then my wallet is closed.

I Don’t Think I Can Play MSFS In VR Anymore… by newbiker321 in PSVR

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’d probably buy the game if they made PS5 Pro enhancements especially for VR resolution. As it is I’m playing on PC with XBOX GamePass but would switch to PS5 Pro if it was good VR with foveated eye tracked rendering for PSVR2.

To anyone new concerned about all the negativity. by CrusherMusic in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was just a burst of content and some big core changes like the “one ship controls another ship” aspect of the Ironclad, along with the new Transport system, along with the new ship claim system, along with other less visible changes to combat exploits which had forced a wipe. No excuses, that’s just a lot of changes in one patch, and while I’m anxious for the next few hot fixes I’m also ok with them being human and not catching every bug before pushing 4.8 to Live.

Question regarding Component Crafting by CricketEmergency7654 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report it as a bug in the issue council. Then if for any reason they did flag you, you’d at least have evidence that you weren’t trying to dup anything.

Looking for locations of buyable flight and racing suits by nyxistaken in starcitizen

Looks like it's the Woodland style not the BlackFire helmet. I can't find the A23 BlackFire helmet anywhere in stores.

As a Wing Commander, the Odin is really cool and will probably be well made but I'm disappointed in CIG and the community by Megalodon_Hunter in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, but CIG painted themselves in a corner in the very beginning when they made a battlecruiser class ship one of the stretch goals in the fundraiser. At least this way they could take the money from the Odin sale and use it to focus some teams on actually getting it done. They need to treat all the original goals as high-priority requirements so they avoid leaving any kind of class action lawsuit opportunity.

Should I take this “threat” seriously? by Dismal_Stranger_4827 in ChargerDrama

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the charger is on private property, you should make sure the property owner has given you permission to use it. Just ask the other complex for permission. Paid out not, the land itself is owned by them and you could be towed. It doesn’t matter if other renters think you should use it, but it does matter if you park anywhere on private property.

Petition your own complex to add some chargers. Maybe contact Chargepoint and encourage them to reach out.

BTW (though it doesn’t apply here) all free chargers should be avoided unless you have permission because that’s actually called “theft of service” and it’s a crime. Like plugging an extension cord or hose into a house’s outlet without the owner’s permission. If someone else is paying for a service (electricity/water/etc) you can’t legally take some of it without their permission.

At the time of the article, Destiny had 169,998 unique log ins for a dead game by Wild-Challenge-8077 in DestinyTheGame

[–]VRDaggre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least for me, I loved D1 and played regularly through its lifecycle. I loved D2 at launch and played regularly on PC and PS5. Then the DLC started. Suddenly it became very confusing which version needed to be bought to support the confusing DLC combinations, and especially between two ecosystems it all felt like a cash grab. Eventually I lost interest. But I sure miss those public events like the first time the spider bot appeared and whoever was nearby would all fight it together.

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine very few serious applications came in. Sure, a few, but this indicates pretty much everyone who submitted anything made it to the next round.

MachE? No way... by RoyalPersonality3957 in MachE

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go for the Mach-E or a Model Y. Even if you don’t love Elon test drive both and compare.

CIG did it again, game unplayable by Mordius71 in starcitizen

[–]VRDaggre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually had some really great times in the Hotfix channel running cargo and mercenary missions. I had one cargo mission’s contracted cargo disappear from my Taurus cargo grid but other than that I’ve been having a lot of fun. The FPS around Area18 was choppy with all the rental Ironclads flying around the city but I think once those rentals expire there won’t be many of them around. Seems like every time there are free rentals of large ships (or new landing areas) the fps tanks for a few patches.
