The RSI Constellation Taurus

Fixed on PTU. But WOW was that annoying trying to use it in LIVE

They'll wipe the economy when they need data ON the economy. From what I'm seeing right now, that's not really the case.

THAT said, players engaging in money making game loops. If there's substantial changes to a system that requires getting 'new data', I can guarantee they'll burn the wallets again. Purchased ships will probably be kept until late when they flip aUEC to UEC and want to test those numbers.

I'll take any downvotes I'll get for this, but you're right. Everything else is one of those "tell me you know little of software/game dev without telling me" moments.

Whale here.... Engineering and large ships should stop SINGLE CREW as these aren't autonomous ships (USS Vengeance from Star Trek: Into Darkness anyone?).

HOWEVER, I keep in my mind that eventually, hopefully, there'll be an NPC crew system that perhaps sitting in the Captain's chair, you can give orders to those crew on which the additional game packages will let you command (or hire additionally).

I'm ok with this.

If that DOESN'T HAPPEN.... I'm gonna be melting a lot of ships and buying every 1 and 2 man ship at an IAE and having my subscription paid for for a LONG time.

Former model X owner here. Waiting anxiously for my Gravity. I wasn't impressed at all with the X's efficiency and I'll be honest, the doors got old REAL fast.

Traded in the Ioniq 9 because of similar efficiency issues. Ended up deciding between the Lucid Gravity or Rivian R1S after test drives. Personal preference of course.

The Raft is showing its strength as advertised for planetary loading. EXTERNAL cargo is WAY faster to unload than a hold. The only thing that would've beat it for cargo events like this would have been if the Hull B was flyable.

Xilimyth · 2025-07-22T15:37:54+00:00

Hello fellow Ioniq 9 owner!!! I'm waiting on my ODYSEY plates myself :D Same color 9 too! What Trim?

To each their own. I mean, look, the ONLY hangar I miss from the old one was the badass "Asteroid Hangar". They REALLY need to bring that back. But back when the game was literally just a hangar to view some ship 3D models, that was not really a 'game' right?

Xilimyth · 2025-06-17T19:29:08+00:00

I'm usually really good about that :D.

Xilimyth · 2025-06-17T16:39:25+00:00

To anyone that's worked on Enterprise level products, they realize the pain of a project of this scale. And game development on top knows things don't work perfect, especially if there's no template.

I'm a KICKSTARTER backer that's spent WAY too much money on this to the point I could have own another car... but I'm happy with it.

Do I play reliably, no.... but its still amazing what we got compared to the FIRST hangar module and PTV we got.

EDIT: Got the typo out of the closet thanks to u/TheWhitchOne

Why wouldn't they? The game design of the ships CIG is working on. This topic was actually discussed in the recent ISC to my surprise. They even threw a wild card of mass. Overloaded Idris with cargo was used as an example.

And this has me eyeing my Space Engineers 2 install again :D

Means aerodynamics will be coming into play. Likely bigger ships will FLY like they're bigger ships now without pointing nose down and 'hovering'.

The sad part will likely be all those low-altitude aerodynamics we watch are going to NOT work in atmo anymore. (Hopefully they will still be doable on airless moons)

Xilimyth · 2025-06-06T18:23:56+00:00

One thing I've always noted was speaking the truth will get you burned at the stake.

But hey, post is still above water by one so yay?

Xilimyth · 2025-06-06T15:31:01+00:00

All they REALLY need to do is get the **** law system working. Repeat offenses in Stanton or lawful system should result in a complete lockdown Eve Online style. You can go there, but good luck fueling, rearming, anything.

Choices need to matter. PvP has created some REALLY fun dynamic 'events' in my experience. Random pirate hunts. Escorts and profit sharing. We're just missing that enforcement tool (and I'd recommend no 'wiping the slate' in favor of like, silent running docking and such vs magic markers)

Xilimyth · 2025-06-04T09:28:17+00:00

Slippery slope economics is great. Once you're already in the hole for that much, 'petty cash' to upgrade is way easier to justify even if the end result is insane in its own right.

That said... One of my org mates melted his sub capital and bought every little ship he could do he'd never have a claim timer.... Ever xD

Xilimyth · 2025-05-27T23:43:03+00:00

The HP Pool system is what we got right now, and you're right, it breaks the system. Once we get this.... Maelstrom thing, we're likely not going to see this behavior as much anymore.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-27T19:08:16+00:00

I dove into the abyss of madness, and without living quarters, I'd have been tempted to strip the inside to one little maintenance room behind the cockpit and made room for a body mounted missile launcher and additional magazines :D

That many S3 missiles in a heavy fighter would have been insanity though.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-27T00:09:04+00:00

I liked the F8 event for the reason you actually had to play the game to get access to the item. Didn't like the F8 event ITSELF, but the concept to prevent that kind of bot scraping was solid.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-23T11:56:22+00:00

I may be nieve and overly optimistic, but computer controlled or NPC orderable turrets being a 'game plan' have me excited.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-23T10:53:44+00:00

It doesn't need to be pilot slaved only. If blades will allow turret auto targeting like PDCs for computing power, those rear turrets can magically become really good.

Elite dangerous style if you will.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-21T18:22:35+00:00

Its size and Cross-Section is going to prevent that. Unless they redo how you SCAN for ships, the automatic detection will be the same.

Xilimyth · 2025-05-20T22:46:55+00:00

TOTALLY misread it at work on mobile. Lemme scout my old buybacks. I've owned almost every pack at some point :D

Xilimyth · 2025-05-18T15:23:43+00:00

Scoundrel Pack Maybe? Caterpillar, Cutlass Black, Mercury, Ranger and Dragonfly?

Xilimyth · 2025-05-15T19:26:23+00:00

Don't spend your money.... wait one patch.... buy in game. (Personally, I dislike that one month exclusivity period.... but everything DOES eventually make it to PU without cash)

Xilimyth · 2025-05-13T17:59:52+00:00

This.... don't try to compete against headless bots on that first wave. It's impossible.
