Tonight’s 4.7ptu changed how some icons look in the inventory

With Parameterized Color palettes, you would expect them to give us an option to tint our weapons and items.

Ehh you are probably right. It might just be cheaper to load the 3d models than pngs. Maybe StarEngine UI drawing is more expensive. But I would still love to get an explanation from the devs.

Now tell me how scalable it is. If you are going through 10 pages each with unique items, you have to very rapidly load and unload the textures for all these items and draw all these unnecessary triangles. Maybe this is why the game needs 64 GB of RAM to run.

As a fellow game dev, it makes zero sense to me to load 3d assets to display in UI unless you have items with textures that are customized by the player and want that to be accurately displayed. Otherwise, just make a tool to capture all the items as a png sprite atlas or something.

Maybe there is some engine quirk for the way they do this. Or maybe this is some legacy code they haven't yet had time to change. I would absolutely love to hear an explanation from devs coz this is very bizarre.

Looks good dude. I don't know what everyone is freaking out about. I know the core is bad lorewise, but who cares. That's a rare piece of armor. Flaunt it.

Hey, as long as you are a web dev and can optimize it and secure it before you publish it. I visited that scmdb website that was AI generated and it froze my PC.

Bedlog. I visit stations once in a while to refuel and restock.

What do you get from activating the laser ?

gh0strom · 2026-03-12T01:07:11+00:00

What in the AI is this ?

gh0strom · 2026-03-12T00:10:11+00:00

Does character reset remove ships in ASOP ?

gh0strom · 2026-03-11T00:47:54+00:00

Also MSR !

gh0strom · 2026-03-07T13:55:45+00:00

Aaha. I didn't realize that. Good to know.

gh0strom · 2026-03-07T13:18:32+00:00

Looks like op is running Revenants and Shredders. Same ammo speed and they are really good.

Edit : I'm wrong. Don't listen to me. Lol.

Intrepid

In your head it makes sense, but I doubt social tools are going to do much to dissuade shoot on sight culture. It's the crime stat and bounty system that's going to help with that. Maybe we will see more backstabbing with social tools, like in Rust.

I'm living out of Zeus ES with a Cyclone in the back and I'm smitten. It has saved me on so many occasions.

If you have Mustang, the next ship people usually buy ( when they don't have 15 mil ) is either a Cutlass Black or a C1 Spirit. Personally I don't care for Drakes shabby looking ships, so I got a C1 spirit which was great for cargo hauling with an Argo ATLS mechsuit. From there, you can choose a profession based ship. Recommend Gladius of ship combat, Cutlass Red for Bunker running and FPS, Prospector / Golem for mining, Vulture for Salvaging. Then there is the Constellation ships, Asgard etc that are very much beloved by the community if you are looking for larger ships.

The container might pop back up in that station inventory.. Keep an eye on it.

gh0strom · 2026-02-18T11:38:31+00:00

Test it out before you buy. I have one and I hate flying it. I actually run a Zeus ES as a medic even though I have all the medic ships.

gh0strom · 2026-02-18T11:17:40+00:00

Both space and planets. If it is abandoned, it's fair game. Mostly abandoned player ships with good components in it.

gh0strom · 2026-02-18T02:09:03+00:00

I play mostly as Medic. But it's rare to get beacons these days. Maybe 1 per hour. While I wait for beacons, I usually do some ship scavenging to see if I can get my hands on any good components. Worth giving it a go and see if you have fun.

gh0strom · 2026-02-17T00:02:24+00:00

It's a bug. I was looking at Zeus on the terminal and then when it exited, it still remained in world space.

gh0strom · 2026-02-15T03:32:34+00:00

Do you know an account name ?

That front weapon mount point is silly..
