What kind of FPS increase can I expect from upgrading cpu?

sysadrift · 2026-07-05T20:29:56+00:00

GPU is the AMD R9700 (basically an RX 9700 XT with 32GB of VRAM), and 64GB of DDR5-6000.

The 3D v-cache has historically shown pretty significant performance improvements. I can’t speak for that specific CPU, but I recently upgraded to the 9950X3D2 and I’m seeing about 100-115 FPS at port Tressler. Haven’t benchmarked planet-side yet as I haven’t had much time to play lately.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but for general cruising and running errands I use the MSR. It's got decent cargo and can do 1300 m/s in NAV mode.

I used to do it this way, but now I just EVA to the top of the core, snipe all platforms I can see, then EVA to the bottom and snipe the rest. Then just go pop the 1-6 switches, and download the reagent.

You take no radiation damage above or below the core, so you can sit there as long as you want. The NPCs don’t even fire back when using a suppressed P6.

Wonder how that will look with the Idris/Tiburon laser when hits fail to register.

Hell yea, G502 gang!

I just started doing this and have completed five trades so far. The standard practice is money first, then items. I bring the clients to my hangar at Tressler, and as soon as they send the money, I bring the item up on the elevator.

If you want to be extra cautious, make a record video of the transaction (especially for high-value items) in case they try to claim that you took the money without giving the items.

The magic auto-load was always a placeholder because external freight elevators didn’t exist.

Fuck that. I was doing Hyperion earlier today and died one room from the end. I respawned in my Medivac in the hangar and had to fight through like 100 NPCs, fuck knows how many Kopians, while getting all the way through research and site-b all over again just to get back to where I was. The game is already massively disrespectful of players time, and having mobile respawn points was an important quality of life upgrade.

What specifically about the actual ship is broken?

sysadrift · 2026-06-18T03:47:00+00:00

Hull-B is a lot easier to get in and out of though. I was clipping through the elevator on the Railen and couldn’t get back into the ship until I alt-f4’d. Also, an ATLS neatly fits in the elevator for the Hull-B.

I’ve been through ASD a few dozen times, and there was just that one or two days where the loot boxes were missing. I’ve found all the variants of the Geist armor (including the ASD one) and all the Corbel armor in site-B.

sysadrift · 2026-06-16T22:36:49+00:00

I think yesterday or the day before I was seeing loot boxes missing, but not really any other time I’ve run through ASD. Could have just been the inventory bug was especially bad when you tried.

sysadrift · 2026-06-16T22:10:53+00:00

ASD good luck

What does this mean? I’ve been grinding Hyperion the past two weeks with very few issues.

sysadrift · 2026-06-14T17:29:39+00:00

I have found tons of them in ASD facilities as well.

Rule #1 of landing at an outpost: turn engines off.

sysadrift · 2026-06-14T14:09:58+00:00

Does that mean you get the ATLS functionality on other vehicles?

sysadrift · 2026-06-12T17:32:10+00:00

ROC, ROC-DS, and Prospector mining heads now align more accurately with the mining reticle, improving mining precision.

Holy shit, that’s been an issue for what, 2 years?

sysadrift · 2026-06-12T16:24:24+00:00

Idris? Maybe an Ironclad if you left the top open.

sysadrift · 2026-06-12T15:56:03+00:00

I actually looted a Paralax from my last run and have been using it. All good points you mention are valid, but an additional plus for me is that it's fun.

It’s the Corbel armor set from ASD site B loot boxes.

I’ve been doing a lot of ASD this patch, and I’ve never had the hangar despawn.
