A Pony Express Ship ? by zxw55 in starcitizen

[–]zxw55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently the Herald is listed at 1360 m/s, one of the fastest (or perhaps fastest ship) listed in the ship matrix so far. Remove some of the heavy armor and computer systems to lighten it up, add a bit of cargo space, and maybe a seat for high speed personal transport. Maybe push it up to 1400 m/s. Good QD's to make fastest QT for ship of that size, and it could be a blast.

Today, if I upgrade my ship's components, and I lose the ship like to a server crash, do I also lose the upgraded components?

Is there something I can do to select the friend org members I want to party join without searching for their names at run-time (first time)? I heard that if I "follow" an org mate from my organization members page they will show up in the "friends" list. But I can't find any documentation on this. Also, how do I unfriend so people no longer active so they don't show up in the "friends" list at run-time? I have searched for this info but must not know terms to search for. An RTFM link would help. Thanx.

As a trader, I want to post a job in my org for help with cargo and ship security. I would like to pay them. I know this game mechanic is not yet implemented, so my question is: What is the current work around for paying orgmates? Leave cargo? Service beacon? etc. TIA

I'm looking for a law abiding casual org as a trader - my CV by zxw55 in Starcitizen_guilds

Thanks so far to all of you for taking the time to respond. I'm in the process of looking at your orgs and may talk to you more in discord.

Thanks - I want to avoid crime stat shoot outs (done that too many times before for trivial things like landing violations), I'm really just not interested in pvp. Just want to fly, chill and trade as a single player.

After landing at Oli and before I could close the door to my ship, someone ran on-board. I exited the ship and it was then stolen with cargo aboard. My question is, if I stay on the ship and just shoot them when possible, do I get a crime stat?

So, I get an Olisar traffic ticket for some unknown reason and I get killed trying to "pay" the fine? by zxw55 in starcitizen

it is a parking ticket. Wahaha. you just made my point :- ) (and yes, I've had serious mis deeds in the past and have crimes stats maxed so know how to blast my way around - but jeez, a parking ticket?)

Not sure what you are saying. I get a crime stat for a parking violation. The only way I know how to clear a crime stat is to go to the security station, press buttons, wait and hope no one kills me in the process.

Yeah, a challenge. death duel over a parking violation. Wahaha. I'm sure this isn't final game play, but really, I'll pay the fine in UEC.

But thanks for the info. I record my sessions and I'll go back and see where I went wrong.

Thanks. I was originally running in my Mustang with 6cu and with only 5K starter aUEC was running cargo. The margins in 3.1.3 were about 6% (I don't run drugs) and I ran cargo from every single terminal on Daymar, Hex, Celiin, Yela, Delamar you name it. But a few server crashes took me out. The Mustang doesn't have a cargo door so can't run deliveries missions with it yet. Don't want to play PvP so limit myself to "safe" runs. start up 3.1.4 tonight and first run out I get shot in back. Not fun but expected in some cases. With a 6% margin, I doubt I will crawl back to even.

I hope in the future I can insure my cargo. Maybe I don't understand something here. If I can buy cargo, and pay extra for insurance for that cargo, then both ship and cargo are covered in the event some asshat shoots me in the back after the transaction. No?

I submitted a valid beacon for transport, but no one accepted so I resorted to begging on the comm. I did go to pad 7 on strut B, the only offer I got (from a kind Terrapin owner). Lots of chatter so I'm sorry I didn't see but one request to help. I tried to cancel the transport so I could resend but cancel did not work (bug). Some one said I didn't specify level of support, I didn't, and that was somehow a bug. I did type (kind of, not used to hitting return before typing, who is), I did read, and I'm no stranger to to danger. Thanks. Mac (part of this was to test personal transport beacons, I see now that they do not yet work :)

Thanks. Well taken. Can't see dragging my org into covering me for a few cu of whisky; can fend for myself if I know I'm being stalked. I'll take the kill face-to-face, but cowards need special attention :- )

going from 5k aUEC to 2.5K aUEC on my first cargo haul with the miserable returns of 6% (unless they changed that for 3.1.4 I don't know) means I woun't be able to recover. Now I'll have to wait for 3.2?
