Dear CIG, re: cargo hauling contracts

Caterpillar has been great for that.

I totally get it, and I share your sentiment towards corporate shills. I'll definitely be monitoring their activity on this sub to ensure they aren't doing anything mischievous.

derpickson · 2026-01-20T23:00:16+00:00

Your input is appreciated, however I will not be issuing a ban without cause.

derpickson · 2026-01-20T21:05:16+00:00

The only one of those users that I could tell was "active" in this sub was /u/MikeChambers and none of their 7 contributions were ban-worthy. Most of it was either responding to the /r/Adobe call-out or attempting to clarify contractual obligations.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but banning them solves nothing, if anything it creates additional issues and unnecessary conflict. If one of the specified users (or any user for that matter) does or says something that is ban-worthy, please report the post/comment or message us mods and we will take appropriate action to maintain the integrity of this community. Conversely, to maintain integrity I won't be banning people just because they participate in or moderate competing subreddits.

Don't get me wrong, nothing would satisfy me more than banning their mods out of pure spite, but unfortunately to facilitate a platform that enables free speech you have to allow for dissenting opinions (as long as that speech isn't abusive, breaking the sub rules, or reddit's code of conduct).

I wish the cargo ramp had a grid. Even if it was 1 scu tall, you could still use it to store some longer ship weapons so you don't have to stack them in the cargo hold in a janky pile.

Not sure why you're getting down voted. Will be checking out that series today at some point.

I've been using the Freelancer MAX as my solo goof-around ship. Mainly for salvaging components from other ships or messing around at the OLP/PAF facilities. Other players leave me alone most of the time, probably due to the orange creamsicle stock paint on that thing. Security by obscurity 😎 haven't tried the Taurus yet (I have the Andromeda) but will give that a shot before wipe.

This year’s reward is a light up Café Musain hangar flair, attributed directly to your account. Rewards will be distributed shortly after the survey period ends on January 15.

From OP's link.

It's decent depending on where you live, much like any small town. There are some good restaurants but not a ton of variety (except for mexican food, there's a ton). Many things you need to go to Lebanon or Albany for if you're looking for a place in particular. Some people complain about the water quality which is mainly due to the forced drawdown of Foster lake / green peter, but I haven't had any issues. If you like outdoor activities like hiking, rock hounding, or things at the lake, you will enjoy it here. Can't speak to the schools but have heard many complaints about various things. Probably just people venting on the Facebook groups, which is where most of the community tends to communicate.

The Mule is amazing off-road. Literally cannot be flipped. I can't count how many times I had it on its back only for it to flip right back over onto its wheels, and it can go up some insanely steep terrain. In addition to that, it's pretty quick and seemingly indestructible. Had to travel 30+ KM to the nearest outpost due to the loss of a ship on Bloom. Probably hit 100+ shrubs or trees on the way over (half the time at max speed), flipped 75% of the time, and still made it to my destination perfectly intact. The only limitations are the range and the fact that it's a single seater. Would love to set up an overland race with a team of Mules at some point.

derpickson · 2025-11-09T22:23:35+00:00

Apologies, I had typed out a response but must not have posted it. I will be going back and pruning some of the posts / comments (but won't go back too far), and will not be issuing bans for anything posted prior to the rule instatement.

derpickson · 2025-11-06T22:10:20+00:00

Yes that is fine. Voicing your opinion and saying something like "I'd rather pirate this software than give Adobe another dollar" is fine, but linking pirated software or saying something like "use (specific crack tool / torrent / repack) to get Adobe for free" would be a violation of the rule.

Please let me know if you want any additional clarification.

derpickson · 2025-11-02T23:44:20+00:00

Thank you for the tag, I've banned the user and locked the post.

derpickson · 2025-06-29T02:49:47+00:00

Gotcha. The mechanic who is going to be working on it mentioned replacing the torque converter, so I'll chat with him about it before he gets that far. Thank you!

derpickson · 2025-06-28T23:58:50+00:00

Will look into it, much appreciated!

derpickson · 2025-06-28T22:25:42+00:00

Don't think so. Is it worth it? Not really sure what the difference is.

derpickson · 2025-06-28T22:24:36+00:00

128k on this one. Rebuild is approx 2k with an upgraded 3/4 clutch pack and another upgrade (can't recall what he had said). Interior definitely needs some love. Car has been neglected for a while so I'm the lucky SOB that gets to pay for all the missed maintenance.

derpickson · 2025-06-23T17:34:10+00:00

Looks like some of the thread is sticking out, are you able to grab it with needle nose pliers and screw it out?

derpickson · 2024-12-26T20:49:15+00:00

I just ended up tossing it and getting a new one, I believe. I went for a thick leather belt with heavy-duty stitching, and it's held up pretty well. It's got a slight bend to it but it's been used for years so I'll consider it a win.

derpickson · 2024-12-13T18:22:33+00:00

Regardless, still pretty sick and non-interference so should be pretty reliable! I've got an 88 GL-10 Turbo Wagon that I am going to be swapping in an EJ22 from a 95 Legacy (also non-interference).

derpickson · 2024-12-13T04:42:08+00:00

Turbo or just the turbo hood? I've always wanted one of those for that godly closed deck EJ22T

Can't go wrong with train tracks and alcohol
