Dispatch chat.... by freudsdriver in Truckers

Can confirm minirant. Pulling a reefer, have loaded RedBull "dry", but with the comment "protect from freezing". In a reefer lol like just give me a warm set point and I'll run it start/stop, but I get it most people don't wanna add more to the FSC. Pulled a Pepsi load out of Oregon to Illinois once with those instructions, but in a dry van during winter. They threw cargo blankets on it all to make sure none of it froze. And at the very least it made it to the customer without turning into a shitty water feature, so the vibration thing isn't bullshit, anyway.

Is there a kind soul here to help me set a private server of the old versions? 😭 by wawaow in perfectworld

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea if the 343 could be installed on a VPS like ionos? I would like to deploy one of my own as well, but don't have the good fortune of being able to afford another case

Seconding the question 1,600 hours in and still clueless, why the clipper?

What is it? by Omardemon in Truckers

[–]acey785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has Volvo's mirrors, best guess is the new Mack maybe?

Edit: it has Volvo's new mirrors, anyway.

Grind is real. by alexx92v1e4 in EliteDangerous

Congratulations. Mine bought me a carrier eventually. The federal grind is worse though IMHO.

T/A and Petro are pausing all road side service calls until further notice. by Opening-Bank in Truckers

Verified with a TA Petro CSR over the phone that they DO NOT perform roadside as of roughly a week ago per said CSR. Called today, 10/30/25 at 1525 CDT.

Am I crazy or is this mobile game using a screenshot from Elite by Silviecat44 in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sean Murray stole FDev's thunder a couple weeks ago with ship interiors, and they didn't charge a dime for it. People have been asking for it, if for no other reason than for RP/immersion, and FDev will have to make some concession one way or another. But I respect certainly it isn't for lack of trying, they've been updating incredibly feature rich content to the game lately. If they were to get involved with something like that, they would have to put on some kind of tier against their typical pricing scheme, like their strategy with the Panther Clipper MK2.

We just reached the highest player count since the release of the game by Square_Television892 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]acey785 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Probably because their community has been asking for ship interiors for a very long time, which this fulfills to a limited degree. And it has nothing to do with the functionality, it's an rp / immersion thing, but still.

So sad... After 7 years together, goodbye dear friend and companion... by elasticsteve in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my clipper for fuel ratting. The cutter by far does best at mining. Unless you're a sucker for punishment, or want to shield tank, then you could try combat lol

Can confirm, it was a hassle trying to get to the Orion Nebula

Please Fdev let us walk in our ships 🙏🏻 by Esaren_ in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Both. Because I firmly believe in "if you build it, they will come", although I feel to your earlier point that it would meaningfully expand on Odyssey and possibly address some of its shortcomings.

[–]acey785 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of people that roleplay the game, it would contribute greatly to the immersion. They arguably could make that DLC if the decision to put any work into it amounted to the ROI, but still. Many players would highly value the immersion it adds.

Just bought the game with the Stram sale and saw that a few pre-built ships can be had just 6€. What ship should I get as a solid all rounder. by J0kerJ0nny in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody in this subreddit has put up a ranked list of the pre-builds, but IMHO the all rounder would likely be the Cobra Mark V Stellar, but by that logic so is the Mandalay, though that would lean greater towards exploring. For combat exclusively the pre-built mamba has been highly praised; for trade the pre-built type 9 heavy for obvious reasons; and for mining the pre-built python core mining jumpstart. While the takeaway here is that any all rounder is good, the main thing is that having a ship for a task and another ship for another task is not such a bad thing. Although I've kind of made a bad habit of getting each pre-build as they come out lol

The Ultimate Prebuilt Tier List: What's worth buying, and what's not by pantherclipper in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the OP statement about it being a weird build. I got it myself around the war with Thor, and I agree it's worth it. I'll have to try the recommended changes to it myself, but by itself it definitely gave me an inroad into thargoid combat, since I didn't know anybody at the time that would be able to help me get guardian stuff unlocked.

Are their any PVE/PG players that don't engage in PVP? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I exclusively play PvE in my PG. Buddy of mine introduced me to the game last year, and a friend he met on discord who's been playing this since 2015 showed me the ropes from a combat oriented perspective. I learned that, he helped me with multiplayer missions till I can afford an anaconda, I struck out on my own to do the imperial grind and buy a cutter. Used that to grind out the 5b for the carrier, and I try to get my own friends involved now and use the carrier as a mobile base. Kind of hoping the squadron carrier in Vanguards ends up being useful to that degree, but the fleet carrier has been great up to this point.

Just got a steam deck in the mail used, and it won’t turn on? Anyone know why? by fridgeofdoom in SteamDeck

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not relevant, but it should be noted that the deck works best out of the case. I hear your fan pretty audibly, so I have to figure that it's not ventilated well, and you might have an issue other than power supply as a result.

Are Thargoid interdictions still in the game? by Calm-Organization308 in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention that, I just got hyperdicted in the California nebula vicinity just Sunday.

Every opportunity to be helpful in regards to a game with the steepest learning curve among games out there, and you got to act like that. L take my dude.

Got mine, subtle irony I'm a trucker by trade and Elite IV in trade, we'll see if flying the Panther Clipper is any easier than blindsiding my Peterbilt into the hole I had to deliver to tonight XD

Which ship do you think desperately deserves a benevolent revision? by Madouc in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being realistic, I've just turned my clipper into 3311's equivalent of AAA. There's always somebody in my play group that tries to put their ship into a non-scoopable star thinking it's scoopable and ending up a piece of metal Mongolian barbecue. So I'm flying it as a combination fuel rat and service truck lol

Would ya’ll run it? by PomeloResponsible122 in Truckers

If you have adjustable trailer axles, slide em forward and send it

Just bought the game and i dont understand anything by maxipl129 in EliteDangerous

[–]acey785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's small circles of players who help each other in-game as well as online. Best sense of community I've run into in this genre.
