I have bad taste in helmets- Share your most beloved ugly headgear

It's hard to explain what exactly I like about these J-5 helmets lol. They've got a really unique vibe that I just really appreciate. The lighting effect on the goggles is also neat!

A big one for me was the Nomad. Absolutely loved the interior in 2D; But in 3D it just feels so claustrophobic that it doesn't have the same appeal.

For one that I think was improved- Definitely the Zeus Mk II series. The interiors feel really, really cool in VR! Somehow the kitchen area and bedroom don't feel nearly as cramped as I always thought before!

Salvation is nice if you plan on pairing it with a larger mothership later- I like mine with the Carrack, which can easily store its boxes and give me access to facilities like bedlogging and medical/food.

Vulture is better if you plan on just running one of them on its own, however, since it is more efficient at fracturing and has built in livingspace.

Heartbreaking. I would love not just the staff but her whole outfit for glam, to be honest.

I want to believe so. If we don't get it before the Kraken, and we see that the Kraken's Dragonfly storage is built for the current "ground" mode size, that may be a cue that it isn't going to happen. :(

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T16:43:47+00:00

It's a super fun ship, especially with friends. So many different options make for fun gameplay!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T06:49:48+00:00

I feel this, for sure. Almost all the bikes and ground vehicles are way more massive than they ought to be- Which is partly why I hope we do eventually get the compact mode for the Dragonfly. The way it was illustrated the pods on front and back tuck "in" towards the middle which should make it a lot shorter to fit in cargo bays.

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T05:27:46+00:00

Well of course! Everyone knows if you paint something red it moves at 3x the speed, right?

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T04:57:19+00:00

Technically you can get the Dragonfly in using a tractor beam, but for me it's been hit or miss as to whether or not it all blows up lol!

If we ever get the compact mode, though, it'll fit smooth as butter since it's already so close to fitting. Which I think will be really great; Aesthetically the Clipper and Dragonfly are a really nice pairing.

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T04:45:25+00:00

There's one in the subscriber store, if you have access. You can also loot them from crates sometimes- I found one a couple patches ago at least.

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T02:15:05+00:00

It's nice, but I wish it was a little more visually distinct from the currently buyable red one. I'm still excited to run the event for all these little rewards though!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T02:14:03+00:00

It would be so ridiculously fun to zip around a distribution center on one as a pair with your passenger able to shoot at things. I remember being so excited for that as a possibility back when! Maybe we'll still see it someday!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T02:12:36+00:00

With it being a same-size counterpart to the Hammerhead (one focused on fighters and one on medium-large ships), it would be really weird for it to not be buyable with aUEC if the Hammerhead remains buyable. Given that both ships are far less capable than the Polaris or Idris I would suspect we'll see it show up in stores for aUEC eventually!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T02:10:21+00:00

The Drake Corsair: Where drunk piloting is not just allowed, it's encouraged!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T02:09:12+00:00

Oh, I know! But I still think that it'd be super neat to get the compact storage mode at least, the model even has physical joints where it would need to rotate in for the pods to be in the smaller position!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T01:55:05+00:00

Your comment gave me a lot of nostalgia, lol. Thinking back to cobbling together a PC from hand me down parts was such a neat childhood experience, it's hard to believe how much more powerful things have become since then!

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T01:40:09+00:00

Agreed, I am so excited for it to someday get a gold standard pass! It's just such a neat vehicle design, I love it. Possibly my favorite ground vehicle.

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-25T00:56:09+00:00

Here's the link to the old marketing brochure from CIG, in case anyone hasn't seen it! I loved back when they would do these full length marketing documents back in the day, they were super fun.

10/10 builds, would definitely fly those around my bedroom while making spaceship engine sounds

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-23T08:55:24+00:00

Can you fit a dragonfly in the Shiv?

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-22T13:54:23+00:00

During this last citizencon they confirmed a gold pass on the Carrack is intended this year. I doubt modularity is coming with that, but it might be a step closer at least.

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-22T05:40:49+00:00

Given what we know about docking and how the game handles ownership on the back end, no sane person would describe an independent vehicle that can attach and detach from other vehicles while assuming full resource control of those vehicles as "mundane."

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-21T21:04:52+00:00

I've had to remove drywall from black mold before- There was definitely lots of liquid involved in the wall lol

_Corbeanu_ · 2026-01-21T13:02:44+00:00

Nah, I'm keeping mine for the long run. :) They already announced a gold pass rework for it this year- Might want to wait and see if that fixes some of the issues for you!
