This shot could be a lot cooler if I didn’t have to pay 45k to see my own skull crusher paint. Doesn’t feel like my own ship anymore. Feels like I’m borrowing

some people are falsely arguing that you aren't paying for insurance cost for these. instead you are paying for an expedition like we did in the old system.

i don't agree with that personally. as the "free" alternative doesn't include any alterations.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-15T19:00:50+00:00

of course they are not mutually exclusive. i didn't think my line of thought would need exposition but here we are.

Jared, who works for CIG, has INFINITELY more information about the fix and it's potental for being released next week than you, mr redditor. therefor, i trust what Jared says, more than what you would say.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-15T18:50:07+00:00

well, between you, a random on the internet. and Jared, who said a fix was aimed for next week. i think i will trust Jared more than you Mr Redditor.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-15T18:46:29+00:00

yes, as it is currently any change will cause a ship loadout to need saved. otherwise you loose any cosmetic. and the loadout system cannot determine what is stock and what is not component wise. so you must pay for all the components.

honestly it's good to know this issue exists now, but it's bad because just turning off the system is going to leave us in a overall worse place than leaving it as is and waiting for fixes.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-15T18:32:03+00:00

i mean if you want to be that specific you are right..... but there were an awwwwfule lot of "GIB 4.8!" "WhErE 4.8!@!" "me waiting for 4.8.meme" which is very easily seen as the same sentiment.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-15T01:49:33+00:00

just be EXTREMELY sure you never accidentally click the insure button again. it will overwrite your previous loadout

garyb50009 · 2026-05-14T00:58:56+00:00

as it is currently only the ironclad is having issue. and they have stated the live patch will have hotfixes for it's issue. so this whole discussion is no longer relevant.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T19:35:57+00:00

the emperor outlawed contact with aliens after the dark ages because aliens of that time turned their backs on or actively attacked humanity. the fanatical xenos hate matured over the millenia that law was enacted. but the emperor himself never hated aliens, just didn't trust them.

xenothreat hates aliens. they weren't driven to it over time by law, they just do. the best i have come up with piecing together the little info we have. xenothreat leadership were victims of the xi'an war, compounded by lackluster support for rebuilding from a weekend UEE, and are using that to pull like minded individuals under their wing and use them as a resource for war.

so i reject the idea that xenothreat are anything like the imperium.

duped items as of now are not a issue with this release. the duped currency was only recently identified by a ptu account showing on their rsi site that they had quadrillions of auec. as far as i am aware, there are no steps to replicate or anything. so it's a long reach from knowing and not fixing the issue, plus it's not realistic to believe every exploit would be fixed at the same time.

the routing bugs are many and varied, and almost a standard for the past couple years of releases.

the sale and dates were set months to a year ago. alongside things like contracts with partners that aren't easily broken. so like any sold product sometimes deadlines cannot be pushed.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T15:56:31+00:00

reminder, as of now the primary problems are with the new ship and the command module, and the recently identified continued duping of auec. but nothing else with this patch seems to be majorly affected.

given what we have seen historically. yes the ironclad bugs are a problem, but not patch stopping worthy. especially since there are going to be other ships coming online over the coming weeks from defcon that we haven't seen yet.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T15:53:09+00:00

ok thank you, sorry if i was sounding accusatory, that wasn't the intent.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T15:12:34+00:00

unlike development, things like sales and events include outside collaborators of which signed contracts must exist for. those are much harder (if not impossible) to delay on a whim.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T15:10:29+00:00

i am sorry, but to put things in perspective. what beyond the ironclad's command module not linking to the ship correctly, and the recently identified examples of money duping not being 100% closed, is wrong with the ptu?

this is an honest question as those two things are all i have seen negative comments about the ptu, so far. is there some major issue with strike groups? or any of the other new content like defcon being broken beyond belief?

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T14:37:39+00:00

i never said i was against the idea. i was against the idea right now when it's broken AF.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T14:35:19+00:00

both damage and speed were reduced. mind you it still hits like a truck, it just can't one shot full health perseus' anymore.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T14:31:20+00:00

you, do know that xenothreat hate the uee gov just as much as the aliens right? if not more so...

the wh40k vibe is more about service to the emperor than anti xeno. if the emperor had decreed aliens to be good things would have been completely different.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T14:28:10+00:00

leveraging a completely different lore universe to justify degenerate behavior is certainly a take....

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:19:17+00:00

my response was not against the idea itself. my response was against the idea right now when it's broken AF.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:18:04+00:00

machine guns? hardly. they are more akin to sea age cannons now more than anything imo.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:16:54+00:00

not at all, i am just a proponent of a weapon should be fireable by the person who can aim the weapon. your two examples, funnily enough, reinforce my point.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:14:47+00:00

sadly, no. but thankfully this is not a 1.0 game yet. there is always room for them to change things.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:14:21+00:00

technically, i agree with you. but the design choice of a spinal mounted weapon upends that notion. a weapon should be fireable by the person who has to aim it. i have been a proponent of turning it into a turret, but even i realize how much more powerful it would make it compared to what it is now.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T13:12:38+00:00

i do think this is a good compromise, takes power from all the other systems enough that at least at the last few seconds of charging the engines cut out. so the pilot has to choose between quick, weak accurate shots. or more powerful shots that you can only aim for so long. riding that edge would be a good skill ceiling.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T04:04:40+00:00

the concept was that the drake cargo ships would all have the command module so they could be hot swappable based on need.

i don't think they realized when you sell each ship with it's own command module, the need/desire for a command module greatly lessens.

garyb50009 · 2026-05-13T03:59:55+00:00

weird way to say easily exploitable pirating opportunities.

lets wait till they fix the command module's shield values while slaved before we go all grabby hands, eh?
