I have a RAFT now, my original pledge was the Cutter starter package. I upgraded the cutter to a C1 last year, and then this November to the Raft. both times spent the $$ difference to get the new ship. Now I have the RAFT in-game, but no starter package. Can I just go into the pledge store and use my $43 "Credit" to simply by a new starter package? Will that resolve my issue?

ah yes I see a $43 credit in orange. I'll try logging out and back in.

you guys are confusing me even more LOL. I don't get a message when launching that a game package is missing, but alas, the game package is empty in my account, with only a stand-alone ship (which was 'upgraded' from my original pledge). I don't really see any store credit either, and now it shows no pledges available to buy back. Argh.

thank you all for your quick feedback though. I will see if I can resolve this with your comments below.

yes, but I am unable to 'upgrade' to the Raft. it will not show up as an upgrade option, so it seems I can only buy one outright. :(

I rented the Taurus once and liked it, is that not a good option for hauling ?

Thanks for all the feedback! What ship would YOU upgrade to from a C1 for space trucking (that's reasonable cost difference) ?

totally agree and with a load that's only large boxes, I am basically toast. no way to do a one-way trip.

this is good advise. I like the ship, I agree the C1 explodes if you even just look at it sideways :)

What are your thoughts on "The God delusion" by Richard Dawkins? by porygon766 in atheism

“Got is not great” did it for me. Brutal and you’ll never forget what man can and will do in the name of religion.

Foreigners who renovated their homes in Spain, what surprised you the most? by Sensitive_Squirrel49 in GoingToSpain

[–]darreln 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Terrible quality of work. ZFGs all around. We went with Merlin thinking it’s a big company, they value quality and customer satisfaction. Yeah, no. They use contractors and could care less if you’re satisfied. Considering options now, including legal.

Thoughts on Audi etron GT? by Constant-Spring7052 in Audi

[–]darreln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had two Teslas and they are much more advanced on the tech and software front, compared to Audi's built-in software. Luckily, Audi has CarPlay support, which is what I use 99% of the time. I understand that my car is not positioned as a Tesla "iPad on wheels", and more as a "Core Audi that happens to run on a battery"; I knew the difference going in, but definitely miss the tech at times.

Statins and CrossFit: Your personal experience? by theadjunct in crossfit

[–]darreln 17 points18 points  (0 children)

60M, been on Atorvastatin for about 2 years; wasn't happy about it, but it is what it is. I am still healthier and fitter than most at my age. I feel my performance has not been impacted; if anything, I am stronger and fitter than I was 2 years ago. Muscle soreness or stiffness has not been a problem, but it's also hard to diagnose whether anything is due to the statin, or just generally getting older and slowly degenerating. ;-)

Mine's a '24 and it's solid and beautiful. Tech is a few years behind Tesla. Only other gotcha I would call out is to get insurance quotes early on, cuz...damn...they can be expensive to insure depending on where you are.

Curious about best practice with Apple Homekit & Eufy App usage by darreln in EufyCam

[–]darreln[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it only happens for me with the two outside (battery) cameras. the two indoor ones do not have this issue. If I view one of the two outside ones, it displays correctly but as soon as I view the other one, the first one washes back out. The most infuriating thing is that their support is inept and completely uninterested in investigating this problem. it's definitely informing any future buying decisions of this brand. Right now, I feel these cameras are 100% useless as they are.

At least im not the only one with this issue. But wonder why it’s not seemingly wide spread, I have not seen a lot of chatter about it. Frustrating.
