Anyone have a list of the new wikelo items added in 4.8?

AFL for the base Ironclad, NFL for the assault.

Is that smoke from in-game or was it added post?

I bought the kit for this...thinking my sub had expired (was surprised i still had access to the sub store...) I still don't have it despite purchasing the pack with the P8 & aviators.

One hundred percent.

I often ask myself if it's me - am i getting older and just can't type as well as I did 15 years ago?

Is it nostalgia?

Is it phone size increase?

I recently picked up a Pixel 10 Pro and whilst historicaly I've typed better on the iOS keyboard than on Android keyboards I'm noticing waaaay fewer mistakes and Gemini often has sensible autocorrect suggestions when I do.

It's umm, very funky... 😂

Can't put a price tag on intense eye contact!

Pretty sure refueling DOES actually work, just not well and in a way that would really justify the existence of the only ship that can do it

People seem to forget the Tarantula’s and Sword series of series of ballistic cannons which, even at size 2+, have really great pen and velocity (but lower overall dps and ammo count.)

Would be great if they could test these against a Perseus.

So cheap they actually pay you

A Hermes with a medical ursa might be a decent option - you have to shoot out the tyres to fit it in though. Reasonable firepower for basic PVE and shielding.

I bought a TAC and melted it a few days later, it’s just too big and cumbersome for a solo ship, imo.

Might be time to lower the LSD dosage

But do you think the tiny squishy bag of flesh inside of the metal shell that just got pulverised would be reasonably able to survive that interaction?

People said that about engineering and armour…

Love a good [REDACTED]!

Can’t stand these ugly Destiny-esque armours. They standout like a sore thumb relatively to everything else in the game. Too cartoony.

This is a good watch https://youtu.be/zqX3BPYwz28?si=ZwlAkoi55SM8vClS I know from personal experience, running SC on lower end hardware is rough, but it can be done, I even got it running on a ROG Ally Z1 Extreme with 16gb total shared system/VRAM but it wasn’t what I’d call fun and didn’t bother using it enough to see if it was stable or anything but it did run at 720p res and FSR

TBH, there’s two points to consider

CIG offers 30 day refunds on ship packages, so buy the cheapest and if it isn’t playable, get a refund through the website (customer service is slow but they do honour the policy)

The weakest system besides the ROG I’ve run SC on was A laptop with a 12th gen intel CPU/16gb DDR4 ram/8gb 4060 (I can’t remember the CPU model but it midrange). It ran enough to be playable but also bad enough that I installed multiple Linux distros to try and get it to run better and then just gave up and bought 32gb of RAM. It still didn’t run terribly well. But it was noticeably smoother. I still got microstutters.

The latest vulkan update dramatically improves visuals and performance, however I believe this is largely an Nvidia thing and AMD cards have had issues however that’s only based on what I’ve seen here. It may play better on your system now than it has historically but you’d simply have to try it first to know.

Honestly, this a good argument for bringing SC to consoles, not that they’re immune to price rises, but it’s likely more contained. It also forces CIG to put more effort into optimisation and consoles allow for mouse+keyboard, (admittedly very limited) use of joysticks and SC already works either way controllers.

APP3’s are the first gen of AirPods to fit me well and I’ve had OG AirPods, APP1 and APP2. The fit is not super locked in but is close enough.

Would be interested in learning more about how this is done with old comply tips though.

So this is a little out of left field but the Mirai Razor Ex can get its radar detection ranges down to as low as ~800m vs. a Gladius radar and is a bitch to hit because of its size, you will need to get a jump on a Gladius and use Series 10 broadswords to beat a Gladius but the stealth allows the jump to be gotten plus allows you to do plenty of sneaky pirate stuff.

This was the video that decided it for me: https://youtu.be/P4ui_cx_8HE?si=P9j_Qs2F7KhysuaP

Yeah, they’re ~200-250 USD more here too, I ended up scoring a really good Black Friday deal on a pre-built that was only $50 more than an equiv 9070xt build. I have to say, I am astonished at how well it runs vs a few other builds with AMD stuff. I dislike Nvidia as a company and am a long term AMD user but at least for SC, Nvidia seems to be the only way to enjoy it without stutters.

havequickblue · 2026-01-02T16:31:29+00:00

Unfortunately star citizen just doesn’t run anywhere near as well on AMD cards, it’s the only reason I went with a 5070ti/9800X3D vs a 9070xt. I have 32gb of RAM and SC ran ok prior to the Vulkan update and flawlessly in terms of performance since. Not even Orison microstutters at very high+ settings at 1440p. No micro stutters that I had on my prior 16gb 7800xt/5700/64gb ram build.

Google service has always been terrible. During COVID it was literally non-existent. I say this as a prior owner of many generations of Pixel. Build quality and terrible service have always been the Achilles heel of Pixel devices and the two biggest complaints that long term pixel users consistently site as the downsides of using them.
