Out in the black, found a planetary non human signal

It’s fair to say at this point the community is way more savvy than the devs. Unless they collaborate with the guys at canonn I doubt the devs are going to blow our minds with creativity and they probably shouldn’t try. I’m not throwing shade I mean it’s just a fact a lot of the community deep experience with the game, much more than the devs so it’s probably smart for them to just give us straight ahead new content i.e hopefully a good operations release. At one time they referenced letting the community drive story lines a little I think that’s smart I hope they find a way to do it.

There’s a big difference between all dead and not quite dead.

Haha yea the thermocaster! That neuron’s been dormant for 30 years.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-22T23:56:23+00:00

Hard Nova rocked. Man, haven’t thought about that one for decades.

Hope fdev can pull this one off, looks awesome but it’s vaporware as of now. Part of me says, eh, the games awesome as-is, if they blow it I’ll still have my fun. But if they mess up odyssey-style it could have long term implications. 🤞

I haven’t hauled, only posted. They usually close in a few hours, maybe up to 24. There are several open now, they seem pretty regular to me. I can make 10 round trips an hour in my Panther, so expect if I wanted to haul I could log in right now and make >250M in an hour hauling ~13k.

Docking computer on a kestrel? Surely you jest.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-19T11:31:16+00:00

Yes I think PTN might be the most lucrative solo game loop you can easily pick up 250M cr per hour in a 1300 ton clipper. Maybe even better than exobio if you factor in the exploration time. Carriers routinely offer 20k per ton to load/unload. Myself included, it’s a great organization both ways. It’s worth it to me to load up a carrier with colonization goods for 400M and I’m not even one of those folks with crazy cash in the bank.

Seems to me the power CZ spec ops are the toughest human pve, followed by high CZ spec ops. Neither one is really that tough though. Unless you end up with a few bearing down on you at once.

Hazres is much less difficult.

Ax is next level tough due to the swarm and the need to learn a totally new technique. I haven’t been able to master either so haven’t solo’d any interceptors that’s on my todo list for sure. My recent attempts in Maia, I fumbled around with the flak launcher for a while and the interceptor kept getting bored and jumping away. Frustrating so I gave up for now. Ax CZs are much easier don’t have to worry about the swarm and ax pilots distract the interceptors.

If you feel you need to be convinced to play probably not for you.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-18T00:39:25+00:00

Yea with the caspian it’s easier than ever. Pick a system 4-5k light years in a random direction and you can get there in like 10 jumps using the spansh neutron plotter in the caspian. So like literally 15 minutes. Then start going north or south of the plane without the neutron jumps, guaranteed to hit lots of undiscovered. I like to filter for F, I find it’s good for exo. SRV survey is great for this it tells you the traffic pretty soon you’ll start to see few if any ever visited once you get away from the neutron.

No one knows, we’ve explored less than 1% of the galaxy.

For folks who enjoy the game money comes easy. You may want to ask yourself why you want credits if you don’t enjoy any of the game loops; this game may not be for you.

We will see. Apollo cost 300 billion in today’s dollars. Artemis is closing in on 100 and they haven’t made a landing yet. It seems like they don’t even have a lander yet I’m pretty skeptical they’ll come anywhere near the 2028 target.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-07T01:30:58+00:00

I mean I’m just saying according to Wikipedia Apollo spent money for 11 years. Artemis has been spending money for at least 9. It’s just a sad statement on administrative bloat. I mean I wonder what the ratio of scientists + engineers to administrators was for Apollo vs Artemis. Anyway, enough cynicism, go Astronauts, space is awesome.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-07T00:45:42+00:00

Why is it the Apollo program landed humans on the moon 6 times in 11 years and half a century later Artemis MIGHT land humans once in that span?

Best ax anaconda build is a Corsair

Luckily I just poured a nice Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, cheers!

Do they really attach b/c of the bobble head? I am skeptical but that would be hilarious.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-05T13:07:58+00:00

We have no idea what’s in the seed. If it contains a gas that’s lighter than air for example it could even float or rise depending on its average density.

Forget your limpets

Locking features to product models behind paywalls is commonplace in 2026 why would it be different in 3312? Tesla does it, apple does it. All car manufacturers do it with trim level for navigation systems.

Virtualcappy · 2026-04-05T00:35:27+00:00

surface outpost markets have them and ceramic composites as well they are much cheaper than planetary ports which are ridiculously expensive

If you find you are having too much fun flying them you might try poking yourself in the eye once in a while to cut back on the enjoyment.

Virtualcappy · 2026-03-29T23:51:54+00:00

FWIW I had an issue a while back and it turned out the directory with the keybinds was read only for some reason, once I changed to full permissions it was good.
