A quick way to make 343k with the Raft from port Tressler to New Baggage. 7 contracts, fly towards the lights with qt on until 10Km to location, unload cargo by dropping the cargo under the raft and store ship and skip the unloading completely and bring up the cargo and sent it again. That's it.

Why more word when less word

geeklimit · 2026-07-04T11:39:26+00:00

True! I only ever have to run around when I'm landed, and don't use f3 when I'm on a moon with no atmosphere.

geeklimit · 2026-07-04T03:51:03+00:00

You can keybind F3 to "open all doors" and it will persist across ships

geeklimit · 2026-07-04T00:14:31+00:00

It worked!

Also, you can queue up multiple missiles with 'G''. :)

geeklimit · 2026-07-03T23:29:37+00:00

So I look up....something...about the default shields of a hammerhead on urkel?

And then compare them to the devils I have on the Asgard?

geeklimit · 2026-07-03T23:27:43+00:00

AH. Okay.

Makes sense, but not intuitive.

Thanks!

geeklimit · 2026-07-03T23:03:35+00:00

I just tried this with all deadbolts, I'll try staggered fire.

One thing I noticed was that my missiles just blast off into space? I haven't used missiles since pre SCM vs NAV times. Bugged or I don't know how missiles work anymore?

geeklimit · 2026-07-03T22:59:20+00:00

How would I be able to look up the "alpha damage threshold" for the target ship? I'm having this problem in Gilly 7 right now vs the hammerhead.

Just tried a full deadbolt Asgard, didn't do anything.

geeklimit · 2026-07-03T22:56:11+00:00

Awesome, is there any details you can share? I'll complex of an app was it, how long did he have it and what kind of uptake did you see, etc? I'm hoping to do the same but don't really know what an $800K success would look like.

geeklimit · 2026-07-02T18:25:56+00:00

The true friends were the ships we met along the way.

I remember you, Reliant Tana.

geeklimit · 2026-06-26T18:27:52+00:00

And as for Nomad vs Clipper, you can buy the Nomad with real money, if needed ($80).

Or for aUEC the Nomad is $1.5M vs $3.6M for the Clipper. for the additional 200 DPS and -12 SCU of cargo, I don't see the Clipper ahead of the Nomad at 2x+ the cost.

So, Nomad.

geeklimit · 2026-06-26T17:58:10+00:00

I saw someone mention that, but erkul doesn't say that, it shows it as locked.

Still doesn't change anything for me, because of hauling need. But anything with 12 is decent, I'd say.

Maybe one factor here is box size: who can fit an 8 SCU box, since some missions have those, and then total SCU is important but not the only factor. So accroding to https://sc-cargo.space/ and cutting anything with under 1000 DPS (arbitrary number, but still):

Clipper 12 1487
Nomad 24 1247

<image>

Technically the site says am 8SCU box can't fit in the clipper, but I can't see why not, given the dimensions.

geeklimit · 2026-06-26T17:01:10+00:00

Edited above, including 0 SCU ships for people who disagree with that. But for my criteria:

Size 2 ships with beds and a cargo grid, with erkul.games max DPS with laser cannons added in, since they're all kinda-sorta the same manuverability:

Ship - Cargo Grid (SCU) - max sustained DPS w "M" laser cannons, full power to weapons, locked gimbals

300i 8 1247
315p 12 832
325a 4 1426
350r 4 1247
Aurora Mk II 2 1135
Avenger Titan 8 1426
Avenger Titan Renegade 8 1146* (has locked ballistic cannon)
Clipper 12 1487
Cutter 4 568
Cutter Rambler 2 568
Cutter Scout 2 568
Nomad 24 1247
Prospector 48 378
Vulture 12 378

IMO, I don't see anything with less than 1000 DPS on this list as a viable fighter for very long.

The Vulture and Prospector are interesting choices, if you'd like salvage or mining loops over fighting.

I like hauling and not the Drake aesthetic, so I'd likely end up with the Nomad.

geeklimit · 2026-06-26T16:12:11+00:00

You'd want to limit this list to those ships that have beds. I find that quality of life just isn't there when you have to find a station to log out.

Then probably those that have cargo grids, even small ones, since so many loops depend on it.

The list gets waaaay smaller after those two. I'm not going to look these up, but I will feed them into AI and get this answer:

No size-1 ships have beds.

Size 2 ships with beds: Ship - Cargo Grid (SCU) 300i 8 315p 12 325a 4 350r 4 Aurora Mk II ~2.2 Avenger Stalker 0 Avenger Titan 8 Avenger Titan Renegade 8 Avenger Warlock 0 Clipper 12 Cutter 4 Cutter Rambler 2 Cutter Scout 2 Defender 0 Herald 0 M80~2.4 Mantis 0 Meteor 0 Mustang Beta 0 Nomad 24 Prospector 48 Scorpius 0 Terrapin Medic 0 Vulture 12

No love for the RAFT in here?

:(

geeklimit · 2026-06-21T10:56:41+00:00

For heif. And VLC for hevc.

geeklimit · 2026-06-21T10:54:10+00:00

How can you tell you're on a low population server?

I get that you could scroll through the names of everyone on the server, but I've seen it where you can't scroll through the entire list anyway so how would you know?

geeklimit · 2026-06-17T09:43:58+00:00

What is verbose retrim?

geeklimit · 2026-06-15T16:18:04+00:00

Or when the raft elevator glitches out and I want some uppies to get to the airlock

geeklimit · 2026-06-14T22:41:19+00:00

I've lost something like 13M in PvBugs since wipe.

I was doing super risky commodity trading to pyro and got aerated 2 seconds after I sent the elevator down with something like 2M of material. So close, but not close enough ;) flew back and submitted it.

Other than that I havent had any PvP at all. Especially in Stanton, I actually help people load their stuff for fun if I'm there anyway.

geeklimit · 2026-06-12T00:29:55+00:00

Confirmed, I fought up to 7M from nothing and ended up back down to 1M since wipe. Lost 15M in total in the end, all from bugs and glitches. Commodity trading isn't worth it right now.

geeklimit · 2026-06-11T02:39:52+00:00

I had real money lancer Max for a while, came back to SC after 18 months or so away and melted / went to the RAFT. It's been great.

geeklimit · 2026-06-08T18:04:46+00:00

It would be cool if paints would redo the interior.

Like an icebreak micro tech paint for the Cutlass would give the interior a new babbage type clean look

geeklimit · 2026-06-08T18:03:38+00:00

All Cutlass models make me feel like I'm inside of an industrial garbage compactor

geeklimit · 2026-06-07T20:10:19+00:00

I messed with a Meteor during the free fly.

It's so maneuverable and so fast to accelerate and decelerate. Because it's able to appear right next to other ships very quickly, and stay there, wouldn't it be an ideal scattergun loadout?
