thats not a problem , thats gameplay.

#

i mean i do it all the time with the scythe. thats kind what that thing is for.

limpid spear
#

We've just been discussing griefing in the current build. No one is concerned about pirates being pirates when the game mechanics allow some semblance of ability to protect yourself.

hollow sedge
#

Escorts

regal notch
#

@naive maple
Yeahhhhhh with all that I agree ... but it is part of the game to have people like that , in fact it will not recommended ever to solo play when the game gets at certain point

limpid spear
#

The economy doesn't really incentivize escorts yet.

naive maple
#

And those shitstains kamikaze’ing any Caterpillar approaching Port Olisar... is that more “gameplay”

peak root
#

sure if its in a scythe.

#

tahts what theyre for

#

or a hammerhead

regal notch
#

100k to 300k a run doesnt incentivize escorting ? wtf ?

naive maple
#

At the very least those kamikazes should get the Crimestat for the murder of the Cat pilot and wake up in prison

peak root
#

you dont necessarily die

limpid spear
#

The currency isn't persistent yet, at least as far as I know. That's the incentive I mean.

peak root
#

at least in the hammerhead or sythe

#

if i ram my ramming blade into the cockpit only you die

#

i run off and fix my wing

#

then ram another you

regal notch
#

it is persistent I have everything since 3.8.2

naive maple
#

Wow you’re so cool

peak root
#

i can then take your cargo

#

i mean not yet , but its good practice.

#

for when i can

naive maple
#

No you can’t take my cargo... that’s the whole point

peak root
#

i can later

#

im practicing so i know how to do it

#

getting better and better at it

naive maple
#

Practicing ramming?

regal notch
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

peak root
#

yessir

#

its only the wing blade

#

and it detaches

#

after i ram you with it

regal notch
#

You know right that they are adding armor values etc ?

naive maple
#

There has to be some $5 game out there for you called bumper cars or something

peak root
#

i guess youve never used the scythe

#

or seen it used.

regal notch
#

I had a glaive xD

peak root
#

cool

#

so you know

#

its fun as hell

#

its easier with the glaive

#

because you can use either side

regal notch
#

2 blades upvote

peak root
#

yep

regal notch
vocal cradle
#

I can’t wait for my bmn

#

Bmm

peak root
#

with the hammerhead you just ram it and push it aside, eventually use the tractors to hold it.

naive maple
#

Like I said, if you could actually acquire my cargo, then I would commend you on your successful Piracy... but you can’t yet... so... what is it you get aside from the satisfaction of the misery of others?

peak root
#

its practice man

#

tahts what alpha is for

#

to practice this shit

#

and try it out

vocal cradle
#

Yup

peak root
#

especially on other humans

#

because theyre gonna react completely differently to AI

regal notch
#

@naive maple
Actually you will benefit a lot :
Devs my actually reinforce zones were the pilot is

peak root
#

exactly

#

you neve know

#

i dont know why people take this game as if its real life

hollow sedge
#

Yeh, and me sneaking onto ships, killing the driver, then putting it on self destruct teaches valuable life skills about paying the fuck attention

regal notch
#

ohohohohoh Sonic booms near pilot zone muhahahaha

peak root
#

it does jdac

#

lol

naive maple
#

Perhaps you have a point regarding the testing of weaknesses inherent to locations like PO

peak root
#

yep

#

exactly

#

its all testing

regal notch
#

The more they break the game the more fixies you will get 😄

peak root
#

its much easier to find something fun and good with a situation than something bad. dont let yourself be conditioned that way

naive maple
#

It just is so futile and malignant since you, the murder tester, doesn’t actually GAIN anything... like “testing” is the excuse to spread suffering

vocal cradle
#

I want them to fix the 30ks

peak root
#

its your choice to suffer man

#

youre playing the game where you can be attacked

#

and you know it

#

theres like a billion other games where you can do these things w/o being attacked

#

and its your choice to have that reaction to the thing happening

naive maple
#

I suppose I would rather drop half the profit’s worth of Laranite and Quantum away leaving the Pirate with the choice of taking $150,000 or we all die

peak root
#

who cares its going all away eventually anyway

#

theyre wiping at release

#

so

regal notch
#

The issue is that in Alpha it doesnt matter when you test it because if they dont test it now the devs might not make changes to the game accordingly to the results .
No action no reaction no consequence = no ne features escluding ones that have to come anyway .

peak root
#

i dont know why anyone is getting mad

limpid spear
#

I agree with you JDAC, definitely adds an element to the game that you should be paying attention.

peak root
#

it makes absolutely 0 sense

regal notch
#

Agreed but its like 4 months I don't do serious cargo runs , still ended in prison for 2 weeks straight .

limpid spear
#

Everyone is "good game starved." They are pouring their hearts and souls hoping Star Citizen will be beautiful one day. They invested quite a bit in it.

naive maple
#

i dont know why anyone is getting mad
@peak root people who can’t afford expensive ships paying with dollars are grinding away like the game is real now (not another 7 years from now) in order to buy a 600i or a Hammerhead to enjoy... and then someone clears their accounts laughing like a hyena in chat claiming “testing”... that’s why

peak root
#

your choice bud

#

you knew when you run cargo what youre getting into

#

especially expensive cargo on high-target routes

regal notch
#

The point is that there is no point to grid on the game now , unless you really want to test those ships for "free"

peak root
#

yep

naive maple
#

Yep

limpid spear
#

Oh I was just in this conversation for the etymology of it. I don't make serious cargo runs, I just have my loaner freelancer, I just got tired of being space UPS so thought I'd see what the hubbub is.

peak root
#

and plus heres the thing

#

the only real pvp in the game right now stems from attacking these routes.

#

the only other pvp is bounty hunting

#

thats it

#

and thats lame

naive maple
#

I agree with you JDAC, definitely adds an element to the game that you should be paying attention.
@limpid spear absolutely!... no one has ever snuck aboard my cat and not for lack of trying, but rather I’m paying VERY CLOSE ATTENTION! LOL

peak root
#

you can get more action running these routs for an hour than you can in bounty hunting for 5 days

regal notch
peak root
#

jump town doesnt exist anymore

#

nooen goes there

limpid spear
#

I definitely watch elevators at stations now. I had someone try to take one with me and I took off running, they came after me and I realized there was a group of them. haha

regal notch
#

lol

peak root
#

so if CIG wants no more pirating they need to create some kind of place where real PVP can happen

#

then everyone will go there

hollow sedge
#

PYRO "stay tuned"

regal notch
#

like Pyro

peak root
#

and traders will be free to trade

regal notch
#

that will never happen

peak root
#

it will in a 50 person server

#

lol

limpid spear
#

I have to admit, I also got my first PVP kill over T&M. The guy was just unloading on a connie parked on the ground.

naive maple
#

I never let the elevator on the Cat ever hit the ground, switch it to retract half way down and jump off... stillwaiting to get cut in half by it someday

peak root
#

once theres more , no way

regal notch
#

In 50 sure lol I still don't encounter anyone even if I go all around Stanton in 16 hours 😄

limpid spear
#

I have an issue with my freelancer, I sometimes end up on top of it when trying to climb in the airlock so I have to open the cargo bay and walk through. It's risky, but it's my work around.

blissful rain
#

I have to admit, I also got my first PVP kill over T&M. The guy was just unloading on a connie parked on the ground.
@limpid spear You killed someone who was minding there own business trading?

#

well done.....

peak root
#

also, next patch , if the turrets are the way theyre supposed to be, youre gonna see a hughe increase in player escorts and the ability for the cargo ships to defend themselves

#

with the finance app

limpid spear
#

Sorry, but "unloading" I meant firing all their weapons, not unloading cargo.

naive maple
#

@limpid spear I feel bad for the Carrack and their snails pace ramp that a whole army can board at will

blissful rain
#

o ok so u killed a pirate

regal notch
#

Lord that is some risky get outs from a cat , but fortunately some glitch will pop you out eventually

limpid spear
#

Well the Carrack's are supposed to be all by themselves out in deep space. Let's hope no one is using them for mostly cargo runs. That's an expensive cargo ship to repair and maintain.

regal notch
#

Freelancer is bugged af

naive maple
#

@regal notch too often I hit the ground and someone is standing there under my Cat

limpid spear
#

well I also stand on the top of my 315p once in awhile too, so I think it's on multiple ships. haha

naive maple
#

@limpid spear almost always first boarding

limpid spear
#

Last night, I kept seeing unattended Cat landing gear still outside T&M. No ship, just landing gear, sometimes it was moving all creepy like. 😄

regal notch
#

I saw those quite often also at PO

naive maple
#

Remnants of a Cat destroyed

Lets have a moment of silence, every time we see them then.

#

Took me 10 weeks grinding smuggling boxes to get my Cat

#

happens when they stick to the platform and become a persistent element of that server .

naive maple
#

Hahaha

#

Moment of rage more like it!

regal notch
#

Takes me less than 10 days for a Cat 😄

naive maple
#

@regal notch you earn 5 million in 10 days?... how?

vocal cradle
#

Sooner then that

regal notch
#

Missions farm on Hurston 😄

vocal cradle
#

O nvm

naive maple
#

Missions farm on Hurston 😄
@regal notch I don’t know what that is

#

Sooner then that
@vocal cradle how?

vocal cradle
#

You can. Buy a car now

#

Nothing I miss read

#

I was thinking he said 5 min in 10 days

#

You can make 1 m a hour m half

#

Doing 5 runs

#

My org mates do it

#

They got cats

naive maple
#

No I’m asking how do you make 5 million aUEC in 10 days with a starter ship?... as in post wipe to get back to buying another Caterpillar

vocal cradle
#

Missions

#

That’s how

#

Not hard

naive maple
#

5 million in 10 days? Ok cool thx

regal notch
#

Yup , thought I start with a Cutlass Black soooo its not the same thing with a 315p

vocal cradle
#

Just grind but I would wait til next update drops

#

It’s around the corner

regal notch
#

Yeah and consider you will gain a bit more than now if they will ever wipe with further updates 🤔

vocal cradle
#

I hope they do t wipe

#

But they mite with poeoe running around with billions

pallid temple
#

Rule one of Star Citizen, never have hopes

limpid spear
#

Uh yeah, the Cutlass Black has nearly 4x the cargo capacity as a 315p. 😄

naive maple
#

ECN’s and Claimjumper are $10k each... and the ECN’s take 5-10 minutes to complete with getting out there... so are we talking 10 hr days for 10 days to get 5 million?,... I’m not following your math as to “missions”

vocal cradle
#

My only hope is they fucking fix the 30ks

regal notch
#

ECN take less than 5 min 😄

naive maple
#

My only hope is they fucking fix the 30ks
@vocal cradle agreed

pallid temple
#

....30ks aren't going away for a long long while

vocal cradle
#

True

#

😦

regal notch
#

@naive maple
Have you ever done Personal missions ? there you gain 15k to 40k on solo and co op every 5 minutes

vocal cradle
#

It’s like running my hull d n getting a 30k

#

XD

#

I’m down to run missions later

naive maple
#

Only personal missions I do are the box smuggling for $15,388 per box... that’s how I earned my current Caterpillar

vocal cradle
#

You grin rep tho

#

You will get better missions

#

Gain

regal notch
#

Deliveries take ages compared to killing a Sabre or Vanguard unless you take 4 at same time and make a 60k profit

limpid spear
#

Not when you are in a 315p, killing anything but myself takes ages.

regal notch
#

Yeah I know I still don't understand how you didn't get a 325A ...

limpid spear
#

I want to go explore things, tractor beam, scanning suite and all that good stuff.

naive maple
#

Not when you are in a 315p, killing anything but myself takes ages.
@limpid spear nah bro... you just need to equip her right!

limpid spear
#

I'm working on that actually. Been testing out some different configurations with the stealth build I have. I'm kinda thinking of getting heavy duty shields though.

regal notch
#

Guardian or Paliside + FR-66 but you can config as you like based on your play stile also for Cargo Hauls instead of a fighting fighters etc build 🤩

limpid spear
#

Yeah, that right there is on the agenda, I'm just earning some moola in the freelancer so I can just go buy everything I need at once.

#

@limpid spear nn-14 neutrons might be what you want.

limpid spear
#

Anyone here with an Aquila? If you have your rover in the bay, can you load and unload the 4 SCU of cargo in it like normal?

zinc lynx
#

S2 laser canons with a decent punch and very nice overheat time OC

#

Takes like 20 shots to overheat and it usually takes 3 bursts to kill a sabre with 2x nn14s and 1x fl33

limpid spear
#

I think I was looking at the Panthers too. I donated some cash to Erkul, I've been using that site for awhile.

naive maple
#

This has worked well for me these past months... just swap out one of the coolers I have listed for the Rush something racing one

zinc lynx
#

Zero rush

naive maple
#

That’s it

limpid spear
#

I first wanted to see if stealth was more useful to my play style. Alas it doesn't look like it right now.

naive maple
#

Well, I just toggle those wicked shields off with “o” for stealth mode

zinc lynx
#

Can you link your current build or have you done so already?

naive maple
#

That’s my build up above

zinc lynx
#

His

#

Or hers

#

Or theirs

regal notch
#

Not mine hahaha

zinc lynx
#

stupid PCism

#

With shields toggled to off and stealth toggled on I get down to 2650 meter detection...

If that was PvE in PvP is 500 meters less .

i seen someone recommending doing bezdek-po larinite run for 300+k ...... just wanted to add to that , that you can do bezdek-loreville instead and make the same money .. it takes about 10 minutes to make 300k. I end up making 8-10 mill a day lol

zinc lynx
#

Hmm, Could some one give me an in depth hauling guide or something?

#

I want to use my loaner freelancer to earn up some money and see if I like hauling

hollow sedge
#

Do some of your own research

#

its not complicated

#

hauling that is

#

buy shit at a sell it at b

#

and like literally above your comment is a route

zinc lynx
#

I was more so interested in what commodities there are and the usual prices people might see them.

I'm going to go into this assuming I wont be able to get Laranite if others are also rushing for it ._.

naive maple
#

I'm going to go into this assuming I wont be able to get Laranite if others are also rushing for it ._.
@zinc lynx well currently, the limits are glitched allowing the stock to be fully replenished every 5 minutes... Since you are only in a Freelancer (66 SCU), you have other options like T&M - PO with 66 scu Laranite and back to T&M with 5 SCU of Med Supplies (yes, don't go over 5 as T&M will only buy 5 at a time)... round trip thats 8 minutes, which is incredibly fast, HOWEVER!, as JDAC and others like him have pointed out, they will try to murder you on this route breaking your bank and leaving you penniless,... in order to "test" this "alpha" game... so take some friends who like to bounty hunt so these "testers" can be sent to Klescher to continue their "testing" there

zinc lynx

ok question on armor i got the evironment suit hot weather one and now there is a circle with a plus sign in center next to o2 bottle icon is that armor durability before it breaks? cause had it at 99 percent fell landing on edge and it went to 95 % and if its armor durability how do yourepair it?

naive maple
#

That’s your health bar... you can use a medpen to heal yourself

#

any cargo running?

@opal crow
a) Lorville landing takes as much time as flying to P.O.
b) travelling by train in Lorville takes as much time flying back from P.O.
I'd wager that it might take you even longer for a full route, all being said and done.
oh and you can buy 50 SCU of med supplies from P.O. and make a small bit of extra money when flying back to Arial

waxen basin
#

thanks for the info

lofty crest
#

im sure as the game progresses trade will get better. What you really need to find is a loop rather than a one way trade route. i.e every stop you are buying and selling something. Dynamic economy should solve this, with the right level of player manipulation you could create some very popular routes.

blissful rain
#

@woeful gazelle thats what im saying, PO is the best trade route period

odd hinge
#

just keep in mind that flying to PO takes a lot more quantum fuel

#

so you will need to refuel after every arrival on PO

#

due to only being able to do 2 or 3 jumps on the tank it has

vocal prairie
#

Well it's not expensive to refuel currently, thankfully.

odd hinge
#

only like 600 credits

#

but it actually adds onto the time it takes

#

as refuelling is not instant, and does take a bit

blissful rain
#

just keep in mind that flying to PO takes a lot more quantum fuel
@odd hinge umm no it doesnt

#

po to yela is tiny

zinc lynx
#

Question: How many units to fill up an SCU? I've been trying to understand gallog and finally got how it works ._.

odd hinge
#

Wut.

#

It's Hurston to PO

#

wait

zinc lynx
#

Jonney is thinkng Cellin -> PO

#

the one I've seen always full

odd hinge
#

What materials are you flying, and from where?

#

That is the important thing

zinc lynx
#

I haven't done anything with hauling yet.

#

im trying to figure it out before I do

odd hinge
#

Depends

#

How much SCU can you fill

#

how much money do you have

zinc lynx
#

Its like I had great luck on future ghost until i bought my sabre, and now Future ghost and Hurston gib no missions.

I've got 170k and gonna use my lancer

#

but I can always earn upto another 300k before I actually start hauling easily

odd hinge
#

You could run some vice with that?

#

Don't attempt scrap, as scrap barely makes any profit at all with hte Lancer

#

Heck, with a caterpillar, scrap only gives like 25~28K profit 😐

zinc lynx
#

When I did the one haulinig escort dude told me to never wait for laranite, just get the rest tit

mellow grail
#

Wild, I dont think anyone has answered your question. 1SCU is 100 units

#

For instance a Lancer Max = 120SCU = 12000 units of materials

odd hinge
#

Owh yeah

#

i overlooked that question

zinc lynx
#

ty Felowen

mellow grail
#

Welcome

odd hinge
#

1 SCU = 100 units yeah

zinc lynx
#

now I can atleast calculate how much i need from Gallog

odd hinge
#

just keep in mind the prices ingame might deviate slightly from the prices on gallog

mellow grail
#

Well good. Good site to use

zinc lynx
#

i heard prices are bugged? Like 23.1 rounds up to 24 when it shouldn't be?

mellow grail
#

So far this month, for me anyway, the prices have calculated correctly

odd hinge
#

Yup

#

the laranite, while it "costs" 24.1

#

it actually deducts 25 credits when you buy 1 unit

#

But when you buy 10 units, it still deducts 250 credits, rather than 241 i believe

#

so it's a bit weird

zinc lynx
#

so basically 1 cred less profit

odd hinge
#

yeah

#

it's a bit odd

mellow grail
#

well no. If you buy 10 units, wouldnt it deduct 241 credits

#

I am pretty sure that is what I have been seeing

odd hinge
#

No, i don't think it does

#

Would need to double check to be sure though

mellow grail
#

Same

zinc lynx
#

hence I think its bugged lol

odd hinge
#

but 560 SCU of laranite is 1.4 million on the spot

zinc lynx
#

iirc, it was a reddit thread

odd hinge
#

which is 2500 aUEC per SCU

zinc lynx
#

and eople had pics of both ways

mellow grail
#

ok yes it very well could be bugged on single unit pricing. I have only bought in bulk and it calculates correctly

odd hinge
#

Nope, bulk does not

zinc lynx
#

so the bug might not be affecting everyone

mellow grail
#

I will concede then. I am not in game to review

odd hinge
#

As the trade terminals where i bought my laranite told 24.1 aUEC per unit.
And like i mentioned, it stil costed me 1,400,000 for a full caterpillar.

#

Which comes down to 2500 aUEC per SCU (1,400,000 / 560)

#

it's a bit stupid tbh

#

probably an issue with how the calculations are performed

#

maybe they round up float values

mellow grail
#

Yep, your math is right. I just could've have sworn when I bought bulk it calculated correctly but again I am not in game so I could be 100% wrong

odd hinge
#

so the price might be rounded up to 25, and then times the amount you buy

#

Yeah, if the price would be calculated correctly.

#

A full cat of laranite should actually cost 1,349,600 instead of 1,400,000

#

So that would be an extra 50K of profit almost...

mellow grail
#

So just a matter of being more observant for me to calculate the difference in my profits

odd hinge
#

Yeah, just double check how much you actually pay for the cargo

#

As the values on the trading displays themselves can't be trusted 😂

pallid temple
#

@zinc lynx 100 centiSCU make up 1 SCU

mellow grail
#

Good to know, so I think today's focus is mining anyway so I am ok with this

pallid temple
#

So the trade terminal display the prices per centiSCU

zinc lynx
#

I mean I knew that math In'kro

#

that's basic measuring XD

#

100 centi X = 1 X

woeful moss
#

When I have my cat stored at loreville to sell laranite it tells me i have 576 SCU but when I buy the laranite at an outpost I only have 560 SCU

zinc lynx
#

but how am I to know if that one unit of Whatever is indeed one centi SCU?

woeful moss
#

Might that be a bug due to that tracking beacon?

odd hinge
#

No, it's a general bug

mellow grail
#

Hyper, there is a bug where a physical component blocks some SCU

odd hinge
#

it just happens sometimes

pallid temple
#

Yeah the Cat SCU is a bug

odd hinge
#

The cat is only supposed to have 560 i believe

#

it just happens sometimes

woeful moss
#

Okay thanks

pallid temple
#

Isn't it 576?

mellow grail
#

The 576SCU is right, but they have shown sometimes there is a component that appears floating in one of the bays

#

it negates the 16 scu

odd hinge
#

Owh wait

#

Yeah, that is that beacon

mellow grail
#

yep

#

it just kinda appears

woeful moss
#

Okay thanks. I guess mine always spawns with the beacon

odd hinge
#

Yeah, seen it last sunday.

pallid temple
#

Ahh the mysterious ship beacon

odd hinge
#

It's weird, because if you target the caterpillar, it actually targets that specific component

mellow grail
#

if you claim your ship it should reset to 576...for a while

#

could be 1 trip or 50

#

I am just hoping they sort out the disappearing asteroid bug soon. I prefer mining in the belts but am now limited to Yela's belt only

odd hinge
#

Yeah, that is an odd one

#

seems that Yela's belt is the only one that works atm

mellow grail
#

Yep

#

Aaron's Halo, Mining areas around R&R's and others are all bugged

woeful moss
#

So you would be able to buy 16 SCU more of laranite. Gonna try it later with reclaiming

mellow grail
#

I always enjoyed going to Aaron's Halo to just float about

#

Hyper, yep

#

Again that is in my experience

woeful moss
#

No you promised it

odd hinge
#

What is even weirder is that

woeful moss
#

j/k 😄

odd hinge
#

the SCU seems to be glitched out at outposts

mellow grail
#

read the fine print

odd hinge
#

but seems to work at landing zones

#

because when i got to CRU-L1 to buy scrap, i can buy 576 units

#

but when i sell at PO, i have -16 SCU in my cat

#

and it's limited back down to 560

mellow grail
#

well now that makes it even more odd

odd hinge
#

Yeah, it seems to differ from location to location.

woeful moss
#

Did your ship get stored @odd hinge ?

odd hinge
#

I have reclaimed mine many times

For me the noticeable difference is if the ship is stored or not

odd hinge
#

from my experience it just seems to differ from station to station.

mellow grail
#

Well that seals it for me. Going mining this morning

odd hinge
#

But i never paid too much attention to it

woeful moss
#

Because I was able to emulate the behavior with my cutlass black

#

if I put a dragonfly in

#

it reduces the scu

#

but if i store it and then try to buy

#

I have the same scu as if the dragonfly weren't there

odd hinge
#

you can buy full SCU?

#

lmao

#

nice

#

good one to know

mellow grail
#

what happens on spawning

odd hinge
#

that is the real question

#

i guess the dragonfly just stays put and clips through the boxes?

mellow grail
#

the dragonfly would go bye bye I would think

woeful moss
#

I don't know what the scu of the cutlass is but when I spawned then, the dragonfly was still there and the cutlass had an scu of 65/50

mellow grail
#

test it...for science

woeful moss
#

I did

#

you just use more scu than you have and the dragonfly is still in the ship

mellow grail
#

wel then the question becomes, do all that. fly planetside, then try to ride the dragonfly to see what happens

odd hinge
#

lol

woeful moss
#

you cant get the dragonfly out

mellow grail
#

I expect an explosion of crates

odd hinge
#

it's probalby just stuck in the crates

woeful moss
#

because it's encircled by crates

odd hinge
#

and when you sell, and the crates disappear, it's usable again

mellow grail
#

try doing it with half cargo? maybe then you could see the dragonfly enough to ride it?>

odd hinge
#

I've done that with my connie a few times

woeful moss
#

you can see the dragonfly

#

and you can ride it

#

but there is no way out

mellow grail
#

well that is disappointing

woeful moss
#

you could try going through the side door

#

that might work

mellow grail
#

I wanted to see someone hovering above ground, the backdoor opens and next thing is a dragonfly shooting out the back showering everyone in crates

woeful moss
#

Does calling the landingpads on planetary outposts actually do anything?

#

maybe someday @mellow grail

mellow grail
#

indeed

odd hinge
#

Nope

#

the landing pads don't do much

#

i've heard some weird cases of ships getting impounded at them though 🤣

mellow grail
#

I have had that occur a long while back where I stayed too long and presto, ship was stored

#

had to get a ride back as you cant spawn the ship then claim at a station

#

but that is going back some time. Now I just do not stay that long

odd hinge
#

Yeah

#

last sunday one of the folks i was playing with had it happen

#

when he pad rammed someone on a pad at an outpost

#

just "poof", his ship was gone, and he was in the small building where you can spawn the ground vehicles

#

Allthough he did hit a ship on one of those small landing pads where the ground vehicles spawn

mellow grail
#

accidentally of course

woeful moss
#

I only have heard of people's ships getting impounded when blocking the ground vehicle pads

odd hinge
#

Nope

#

we were messing around

#

doing some racing shenenigans

#

and he tried to ram into someone on the pad 😂

#

but seeing how we were all crewed up, you don't get crimestats for ramming i believe

mellow grail
#

oh ok. yeah the impounding stuff is still so new to me. When mine occured it wasnt an impound it was just a store

odd hinge
#

yeah, that happens sometimes as well

#

it's even weirder when it glitches

#

mainly happens at PO

#

where you take off, get a warning, fly a way, QT to another planet

mellow grail
#

just happened 2 days ago.

odd hinge
#

arrive at the other planet, and suddenly get pulled into a loading screen, and are standing in PO again

#

with the ship impounded

mellow grail
#

Flying to planet, was in atmo, next thing I knw I am freefalling and ship is gone

odd hinge
#

Yeah

#

have had that happen during mining a while ago

#

was mining on yela, flying for over half an hour already

#

And suddenly the ship just disappeared, and i got booted onto the surface of yela

#

When i arrived at GrimHex, it was just stored there, with the cargo..

mellow grail
#

we need parachutes in our suits btw

zinc lynx
#

nah

odd hinge
#

Depends

zinc lynx
#

jet legs

odd hinge
#

in space they don't do much

mellow grail
#

or that

odd hinge
#

in atmos they do something

#

But depends on the atmosphere

#

and on the gravity

mellow grail
#

when freefalling 10k up in atmo, it wouldve helped

odd hinge
#

true

mellow grail
#

I splatted and found myself spawned elsewhere. not even where my ship ended up

odd hinge
#

lol

#

I've also had weird cases where i literally fell down multiple kilometers

#

and landed without any damage

mellow grail
#

I think the ship was at PO and I was at the R&R I had only refueled at

#

Yep. ship was at PO, I was at MICL1

odd hinge
#

that reminded me though

#

of this beatifull clip

#

wait

#

lemme search it

mellow grail
#

ok

odd hinge
#

fuck

#

can't find the clip 😦

#

think i must've deleted it from my pc a while ago

mellow grail
#

well shit

#

ok I am off. Time to mine

#

have fun

#

I can’t wait for the hull d n bmm

ripe orbit
#

Do traders/miners have to compete over resources / commodities? Or are they infinite?

pallid temple
#

Traders just have to wait for the commodities to restock

ripe orbit
#

Are they planning to change that in the future though? I was just thinking about the upcoming money-transfer-system and how many possibilites it creates. I was imagining a mega logistics org hiring bad individuals to rough up traders and thinning out the competition for them to make a better profit.

vocal cradle
#

I will just take my polaris out

#

Fuck getting bullied

#

I been bully it’s not fun

#

@ripe orbit has

ripe orbit
#

Didn't say anything about bullying. It's just gameplay.

vocal cradle
#

I know but it sounds like it

#

Don’t want big orgs take advantage of a little guys like you Said

#

I’m I. A smell org

#

. I was imagining a mega logistics org hiring bad individuals to rough up traders and thinning out the competition for them to make a better profit. I don’t want to be rough up

#

Im a trader too

#

Just been waiting tho for them to fix the 30ks n bring me done ships

#

Just got loners

#

It sucks

#

I want my bmm n hull d all ready

#

What trade ships you own guys

#

Anyone else own a hull d

#

I know a lot got a hull c

ripe orbit
#

I'm sure you've noticed there are players who just blow up cargo/miner ships for no apparent reason. With something I mentioned they'd have a valid and lore-friendly reason and they could get paid doing it.Then there's the pirates but those are all needed because that makes escort combat pilots needed and sought after. Big Orgs taking over and shitting on the solo player is a fair point though. But even that could be handled in some way I'm thinking.

vocal cradle
#

I agree escorts are needed

#

Especially in a bigger ships

#

That are not done yet

#

All we got right now is a cat

#

With like 500 scu

#

But the hull c can hold 4500 scu

#

N the hull d is 20k scu

#

Tho the bmm is special It can land on planets

#

The hulls can’t

ripe orbit
#

Don't know much about the merchantman except that everyone a fair amount of people wants it in 😄

vocal cradle
#

It can hold 3500 scu

ripe orbit
#

Does it have stronger thrusters or something. As you said it can land on planets.

pallid temple
#

Ehh, I'm not particularly fussed, trading isn't my shtick

vocal cradle
#

N got guns size 6

#

Bmm is a Blockade running

#

And it deals with secure cargo

#

Not open containers like the hull c or d

#

@ripe orbit

#

The cargo is inside the ship

#

That’s how it can land on Planets

#

N the cool thing

#

I forgot to tell you

ripe orbit
#

Aight, so it's a heavy freighter with an emphasis on survival? (BMM)

vocal cradle
#

Is it have shops in side the ship

#

More a trader

#

You can hired nps n open shops in your ship

ripe orbit
#

Damn, didn't think it was that big. But it's still in concept so it might not end up like that I guess. It's very beatiful though. Looks much better than the cat!

I own it

#

can so see a cat land and doors open up and make shift farmers market like shops on eather side of the loading bays. but what ships can scann down hand minables i know prospector and relient Sen and technicly terrapin. but anyothers

#

or is there ability to upgrade scanner and sensors?

hollow sedge
#

A cat could theoretically technically do that... But I doubt it would be a thing you could actually use it for ingame?
The diff is the bmm is meant to be a mobile trading post so there's a way better chance that kind of feature is implemented for it

#

have cig said that that's the plan for bmm?

#

proper gameplay/flea market/trade post capabilities in that sense?

#

would be pretty badass

cloud slate
#

yeah that gamepllay mechanic will be added eventually for the BMM and the Kraken privateer

naive maple
#

A cat could theoretically technically do that...
The bmm is meant to be a mobile trading
@hollow sedge Ya know... If you think about it, there are ALOT of ships this could work with!... Hell, the Connie Phoenix, you could load up 4 traders, one per suite and load their goods for sale in the 96 SCU down below... conduct private business in the suites, like office spaces and celebrate your negotiations after in the bar! LOL

hollow sedge

Honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw the Cat was a flea market lol

It would be a really cool setup

@blissful rain from sc leaks?

pallid temple
#

Not even from SCLeaks

#

Just from pure observation of recent events

cloud slate
#

had this chat in normal SC chat today and there was a leak/tip saying accounts above a certain threshold worth of aUEC might be reset where as others below it wont be

blissful rain
#

@blissful rain from sc leaks?
@kind yoke yes

odd hinge
#

That sounds like a decent thing.

#

Resetting accounts above a certain treshhold

#

As i've seen people legit farm a few hundred of million UEC in the game

#

But the ones who have trillions or more are defo not possible without either using exploits or no-lifing the game

cloud slate
#

agreed i think its a good compromise since it will get the exploited aUEC out of the market

pallid temple
#

Hell, there's people selling 100million aUEC for $100 on ebay

woeful moss
#

Omg who would be so dumb to buy aUEC

odd hinge
#

Yeah, not sure why you would wanna buy aUEC atm

cloud slate
#

yeah its crazy

woeful moss
#

No I mean why would you ever buy aUEC, if the game is finished it kinda makes sense but you will definitely loose all kinds of stuff until this game is finished. There is a high probability with each patch that you loose everything

#

might as well give me the money

#

😄

odd hinge
#

No use buying aUEC

#

it does make sense buying UEC on the store though

#

Some people are literally currently spending hundreds of IRL money to buy UEC, so they have a starting capital when the game goes live.

cloud slate
#

yeah if your going to buy anything its the daily cap of UEC

#

its not a bad overall idea

woeful moss
#

Yeah I've heard about orgs doing that. Whatever floats their boat I guess. But I don't mind earning my money in game

#

It's part of the gameplay for me

#

For them gameplay might be something different

cloud slate
#

if i have any credits left over before launch ill be buying UEC

odd hinge
#

1 guy i know will have around 200K UEC once the game goes live.

#

But that is because he had bought those guns and gimbals etc years ago in the store.

#

Which you can't buy anymore now, just ship components

woeful moss
#

You can't estimate how much he will have 😄

odd hinge
#

and he melted them

cloud slate
#

its like $25 for 20k UEC

woeful moss
#

oh ahh okay

#

that's how you meant it

odd hinge
#

no, 5$ for 5K UEC i believe

#

before taxes

cloud slate
#

sorry 22usd for 20k UEC

odd hinge
#

You can't estimate how much he will have 😄
@woeful moss he literally told me how much he had, as the ship components, that you could buy in the store, will give UEC instead of store credit. No clue why exactly though.

cloud slate
#

200k starting UEC will be a decent amount to run cargo anyway

odd hinge
#

Yeah

#

he just wanted to get 200K, to buy a helix for himself and his son i believe

cloud slate
#

ah yeah nice

#

i just plan on getting out of Stanton asap

#

its gonna be a shit show for the first few months

odd hinge
#

Well

#

For all we know we might be able to spawn in any UEE system when the game goes live

#

Which would spread out the players atleast

#

Because everyone having to spawn in Stanton, would create a massive cloggage of players, and would introduce a lot of trolling early on 😂

cloud slate
#

totally agree

#

would be nice if that was to happen

odd hinge
#

Yeah, i expect that to happen tbh

#

as that would also allow the large orgs to spread out a bit from the start, and inmediately start setting up their territories

#

before they all start 1 massive civil war in stanton in the first few days 😂

cloud slate
#

ill be headed for the borders of Banu space to hopefully get a passport to move over into there xD

odd hinge
#

Yeah

#

i need to have a look, not sure where my org will go and plan to make their home

#

Allthough seeing the size of the org, it shouldn't really be tied down to 1 system, but most likely spread across multiple ones

#

would also not be suprised if we go and set up outposts etc

warm river
#

i would expect spawns to be "well known systems"

cloud slate
#

id say most orgs will have small outposts hidden in a few systems as rest stops for their members

warm river
#

like terra

#

sol

odd hinge
#

Well, i expect spawn systems to be large systems, or like all UEE systems, and a few large other systems

#

Also, outposts will defo go and play a role

#

Imagine having an outpost in Vanduul territory

#

that can be worth gold

#

smuggling some rare goods that can only be found in vanduul territory or something

#

Or for when you want to start an all out war against the vanduul

#

which will 100% go and happen

cloud slate
#

hopefully if i can raise my Rep with the Banu high enough i can build a base there and buy high lvl tech and parts and sell them to people who dont want to head all the way to Banu space or dont have the Rep

#

would be nice if with high enough Banu rep i could trade directly with the Vanduul like the banu do xD

#

even if i was allowed to fly through vanduul systems and not be attacked haha doubtful but would be a cool perk

odd hinge
#

Well

#

i doubt that will happen

#

unless if you fly as crew on a banu npc ship or something

cloud slate
#

if they add alien npc crew i could hire them onto my BMM and have that Banu crew member speak with the Vanduul

odd hinge
#

As far as we know right now, vanduul killed every human being they've seen, except for 1 that was taken hostage.

cloud slate
#

its a long shot for it to happen but maybe after launch

#

just another aspect to trading really

odd hinge
#

could be yeah

#

Really comes down to how the banu trade with the vanduul as well

#

But i believe the Xi'an are also known to trade with the vanduul in rare occasions

cloud slate
#

yeah Xi'an on rare occasions but the Banu are the only species the Vanduul are friendly with

odd hinge
#

Yeah

cloud slate
#

the Banu have a planet that is even inside Vanduul space

odd hinge
#

Remains to be seen how friendly though as in

#

Do the Vanduul tolerate it if the Banu have a human with them or not

cloud slate
#

yeah we dont know

odd hinge
#

Yeah, the Banu have a planet or system, within Vanduul territoriy

#

which says enough tbh 😂

cloud slate
#

haha

odd hinge
#

as tbh

cloud slate
#

i just want to be an actual Banu trader xD but i doubt we will ever see alien playable races

odd hinge
#

i also would not be suprised if the Banu would throw you under the bus if the price from the Vanduul is right

cloud slate
#

most likely

odd hinge
#

As in, if you were a crew member on a Banu ship, don't be suprised if you're sold off to Vanduul, who find out you're there, just to kill you.

cloud slate
#

yeah so dont get on Banu npc ships that are going near Vanduul space lol

odd hinge
#

Most likely yeah 😂

#

As they will probably sell your ass, if the price is right

#

Heck, they sell state secrets even, if the price is right

cloud slate
#

Banu always look at the bottom line xD

odd hinge
#

Yup

blissful rain
#

Some people are literally currently spending hundreds of IRL money to buy UEC, so they have a starting capital when the game goes live.

tame elbow
#

@tame elbow Are they already selling these?
@naive maple https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16292-Q-A-Land-Claim-License/

#

some quick facts:

#

you don't need a land claim to build bases

#

but buying a land claim ensures its owned by you and the UEE provides protection for the area

#

land claims will be purchasable with UEC

pallid temple
#

Land Claims are basically the UEE going "We'll ensure that this land remains under your ownership and under our protection"

naive maple
#

Ah... but you won't NEED it to actually have some buddy use their Pioneer to place an Outpost there for you

pallid temple
#

Yeah you don't need it

#

It just allows for official recognition of land ownership

naive maple
#

With the claim, can I insure an outpost?... like if a Pirate blows up your outpost with or withoout a claim... does it make aany difference?

hushed path
#

I don't think anyone knows for certain about that

and actually it doesnt really matter as your hard earn aUEC are gonna wipe at least once in beta and live

#

so just dont get so attached to the progress and enjoy (test) the game meanwhile

woeful moss
#

Why shouldn't anyone say that? This is a speculation discord. There is more speculation going on here than on Wallstreet 😄

lofty crest
#

i think they should do a wipe when live comes around

#

imagine playing the game for the first time and someone flies past in a capital ship with a billion credits

#

it only makes sense to wipe imo plus it promotes experienced players to race or help yanno

#

odd hinge
#

I mean

#

The only capital ship in atm is the 890J

#

And it's not like you can see how many credits a player has

silver hamlet
#

they are only wiping us so we are more likely to buy ships with irl money and not in game money

odd hinge
#

They're more likely wiping, if it's even going to happen, to get rid of the over saturated credits atm.
And clear items, to ease the stress of their databases atm.

cloud slate
#

^

blissful rain
#

ok i say let them wipe i

#

fuck it

#

wipe it all

#

start fresh

#

say bye bye to your ships u bought in game

#

instead buy ya stuff via pledge store... lol

odd hinge
#

If you don't like grinding, just stop playing the game, and wait till it exits alpha..

#

It's an alpha, you know there are gonna be wipes due to balancing and technical reasons.

#

That has been stated multiple times. They're even becoming less now with the LTP.

blissful rain
#

whats the point in grinding when u will lose all your grinding efforrt?

#

thats not how grinding works

#

u grind knowing there is a reward for it

#

why dont they remove the element if grinding?

#

and make box missions and other misisons pay big amounts of money so people are not grinding

#

and can easily obtain a sabre from doing like a few box delivery missons for example

#

nuke the grinding element

odd hinge
#

For the same reason that other alpha games still let you grind for stuff.

#

So people first off get a realistic view of how it's most likely going to be, and to keep people actually playing the alpha.

#

If you can buy all ships in the game after 1 day of grinding, people would buy them, mess around for a few weeks, and just quit most likely. Or not even try those gameplay loops.

#

Which would also bring up less issues with them, if no one plays the loops.

#

Why would people try out and test play the mining gameplay loop, if you could buy a sabre with a few box delivery missions? Which would be quicker and easier.

#

That also ties into balance they're trying to find already.

blissful rain
#

true

#

but at the same time. to much wipes hampers what u just said

#

not all of us play this game 24/7

#

and if they kepe doing wipes every month, a lot of people wont make progress

odd hinge
#

they don't do them every month though.

#

Tarkov and Rust also wipe on regular basis. With forced wipes on updates generally.

blissful rain
#

for example, the 890jump is a 60m ship, basically like an end game reward and that would take more than 3 months to get 60m for an average player

odd hinge
#

It's not that uncommon in alpha games.

#

That is because not everyone is supposed to just grind out an 890J

#

it's a capital ship..

#

You're meant to grind for it with your organization

blissful rain
#

so not many wil be able to play and test out the 890 for test purpose

#

no but if not many can even play on it then when its released, it will be full of bugs

#

u need players to test the 890

#

and missions to that need a 890

#

even if it was a misison that allows u to infaltrate and steal one that would be cool

odd hinge
#

They want it to be tested.

#

They just don't want the servers to be filled with them inmediately most likely

#

Also, even in an alpha, peole generally need a goal to work towards to stay engaged.

blissful rain
#

just have it for one or two days only event

#

and u do need to stress test the game to see how it deals with 20 890's in a server

#

which lets face it, is a tiny thing to have in the grand scheme of things when they want 1000 people in a area

cloud slate
#

so if you need people to test the larger ships that are expensive why wipe? there is people out there that want to test them but need time to actually save up to do so. if there is constant wipes that wont happen so i say dont wipe it so that there is more people who will be able to test the 890j sooner

blissful rain
#

this ^

odd hinge
#

Like i mentioned before, there can be multiple reasons for the wipe to happen.

blissful rain
#

and its only in 3.10 that u can buy a 890

odd hinge
#

To clear the economy, and force people again to try and use the gameplay loops to earn money.

#

To clear the database for more stability

blissful rain
#

and iwth the player trading app as welll...

cloud slate
#

oh i agree a wipe needs to happen for the sole reason of blackmarket aUEC selling

odd hinge
#

Because of lacking backwards compatability to an old version. Which does happen with updates sometimes.

blissful rain
#

if u set everyone to zero then player trading app is useless at the early days of the patch

#

and hardly anyone is gunna afford a 890 by the time 3.11 comes and another possible wipe

odd hinge
#

lol

#

there will be people who get them in no time

#

I've seen people grind out 10+ million in a single day...

cloud slate
#

if they do a wipe for for decents reasons im fine with it

blissful rain
#

like i said, those people are the exception

#

not all of us grnds 10m a day

odd hinge
#

I give it a week max before we start seeing 890J's flying around.

blissful rain
#

let alone 1m a day

cloud slate
#

the only downside is having to start again with box missions but once Cat pilots have 1.4mil its a matter of a week or so before an 890j is bought if no 30ks

odd hinge
#

Well, once you're set up, with a caterpillar it's only 3 laranite runs to earn 1 mil

blissful rain
#

if u dont get a 30k

#

lol

#

gotta grind to 1.4m first

#

and thats a tall order using box misisons lol

#

u first need to grind to around 200k to get a helix and then start mining to gain 1.4m faster

#

maybe 2m u need just to be safe

box missions to 130k then i usually earn 200k per hour of profit off of that

blissful rain
#

never blow all your load in a cargo run

odd hinge
#

Still, the wipes are getting less now.

#

If you want to buy a 890J before a wipe happens, just team up with some players and grind together

cloud slate
#

agreed

blissful rain
#

@odd hinge yea u can possibly do that now in 3.10 with the new player app

#

i will ask my org if they are up for doin i

#

the thing is, who buys it? we cant "share" a ship

#

one of us has to own it

#

and pull it out

odd hinge
#

Like i said, you should not expect to buy capital ships in the game solo.
They are capital class ships for a reason, which are supposed to be grinded for ,and bought and run by organizations. Not solo players

blissful rain
#

would be cool if an org can share a ship

odd hinge
#

I mean, right now you can ask the player to come online, pull it, you can jump in, and then that player can jump off, you just can't respawn it.

#

I think they might have some system planned for that though.

#

That some day you can go and appoint players in your org, to be able to spawn certain of your ships, but not sure

blissful rain
#

yea

#

it makes sense for capital ships

#

no one member should just own it as u say

#

by definition it is a org type ship

#

so really multiple orgs should be able to summon it

#

obviously can only summon 1 though

#

unless the org bought 2

odd hinge
#

Yeah

#

But like i mentioned, i believe they have plans to one day allow org members to share ships. Or something along those lines.

blissful rain
#

yea that would be epci

#

do people here join multile orgs?

odd hinge
#

I am in multiple orgs

#

but you can only have persmissions in your active org

cloud slate
#

some people do but there is alot of Orgs that require you to have be exclusive them that 1 org

odd hinge
#

^^

#

or have the org set as active

#

which is often an issue

blissful rain
#

i see

#

u cant create multiple characters yet can u?

#

if u could then u can easily be in different orgs

cloud slate
#

you will only ever be able to have 1 character per account

#

if you want another character you will need a second account

blissful rain
#

Most mmo allow you to have multiple characters

cloud slate
#

but this is a simulator, plus certain reputations will be linked to your account with the permadeath system

#

now this system is all a work in progress but its basically to make sure that companies etc who hire people can see the account ingame history, well some of it at least

blissful rain
#

i see

odd hinge
#

No

#

they actually mentioned that on an account, for every game package you have, you will be able to make a character

#

and switch between them.

cloud slate
#

oh for each gamepackage

odd hinge
#

yeah

cloud slate
#

well i guess thats still $45 per character

odd hinge
#

And if you're not playing on a char, they can function as npc crew i believe.

#

True, but seeing how a lot of people have multiple game packages already it depends.

#

We might be able to buy character slots at some point, have to see tbh

#

As that was based off of an article from 2013 i believe

cloud slate
#

interesting

odd hinge
#

Also, each character would have it's own ships, items, money etc.

cloud slate
#

hmmm only conntected to that gamepackage?

blissful rain
#

ahh i see

#

interesting

#

but u can still grind one char and transfer uec to the oher

#

or even items

#

the trading app will let u transfer items in a later iteration of it

odd hinge
#

Well

#

from their plans, it will be that, you can go and make a char for each game package.

#

And before launch or at launch, you would have to assign each item from your hangar to a character.

#

They will all have the same starting money

#

And then later you might be able to transfer them from char to char ingame, but that would probably cost credits

are they fixing belt mining with the 3.10 update?

I wrote a guide on how to kind of work around that

then when i found quantainium thought try luck with it kept i tin green and then sudden 100% red and yea i cheezed it and bailed before possible damag ecould happen XD

dry field

has anyone had a bug with there constellation phoenix emerald not having any cargo space? when i go to take out the ship it read 0 cargo compacity.

proven token
#

Scanners could use a big overhaul

#

Especially for locating ore

odd nacelle
#

My caterpillar keeps showing 560 SCU

#

Ah it's a known bug

waxen basin
#

spent an hour in belt above yela found all crap ore

waxen basin

are there any other planets besides crusade that worth mining at?

blissful rain
tawny quail
#

Are there long-haul cargo missions available? If so what are your experiences doing them and are drones available to despatch from a cargo ship?

pallid temple
#

There are no cargo delivery missions @tawny quail

errant vigil
#

you can buy cargo and go on your own long haul

#

some box missions are long haul

waxen basin
#

Drones arent really in game yet I think only the carrack has some

proven token
#

A bunch of repair ships are suppose to have drones, but they probably are so far off that it isnt even worth talking about

hollow sedge
#

I personally wish theyd stop expanding their scope and flush out and polish whats in the game

urban solstice
#

I personally wish theyd stop expanding their scope and flush out and polish whats in the game
@hollow sedge Agree. At least they should focus on the bugs and fix the 30k server error before moving onto more ships...

haughty zodiac
#

Or how about making the existing ships work first haha

haughty zodiac
#

We gotta put together a large group of freighters and create a space convoy with em through a trade route

vocal prairie
#

If 50 people group up and join a server together they cant get pirated or griefed.rollsafe

cloud slate
#

^ this is some big brain

#

why havent we created a traders group and done this lol

haughty zodiac
#

Strength in numbers man

vocal prairie
#

I have no idea.

#

I think with 50 cats flying at once it might 30k the server though. 😂

cloud slate
#

maybe hahaha

vocal prairie
#

But just think if it worked for 6 hours straight..... so much trading!

cloud slate
#

exactly the millions of credits xD

vocal prairie
#

We will see how unstable 3.10 is then the org will likely take over a server for a cargo run OP.

cloud slate
#

yeah if servers are stable that may very likely be the case

solemn arch
#

Should I do cargo with my drake cutty black or the freelancer?

vocal prairie
#

Lancer.

#

Holds more cargo.

kind yoke
#

do you need a prospector to scan for handminables?

solemn arch
#

Don't you scan them with your mining tool

#

@kind yoke

kind yoke
#

lets say im on lyria

#

i want to look for hand minables

#

i scan from the ship

#

is it only prospector can do that?

solemn arch
#

I wouldnt know

#

I dont own one

naive maple
#

@kind yoke Prospector, Mole and Cutty Red... but come 3.10, all ships will be able to scan for mineables... likely due to the ROC mining Greycat

kind yoke
#

i was wondering

#

why exploration ship not able to do so ...

#

thx for ur info

hollow sedge
#

That's a thing Sea of Thieves players do

#

Easier there tho cuz a server is 16 people iirc

naive maple
#

why exploration ship not able to do so ...
@kind yoke I agree!... I have a 315p Pathfinder and believe that ship should CERTAINLY be able to scan well

kind yoke
#

yeh coz scanners are one of the strong point for exploration ship they should be able to do so

hollow sedge
#

Are there rocks that a prospector can't crack?

Have cig mentioned if they'll be fixing mole fuel consumption or scanner?

proven token
#

Mole fuel consumption was already 'buffed' but is still pretty bad

#

Atm i think a single helix can crack anything

waxen basin
#

shut your guns off and u can add more power

hollow sedge
#

It just seems the prospector is basically better than mole

#

Eh oh well

waxen basin
#

right now yes

#

if they fix asteroids the mole could be better

hollow sedge
#

What's wrong with asteroids

waxen basin
#

other then the ones above yela all the asteroid disappear as soon as you crack them

kind yoke

also aron halo

i got a cat and ngl its a little overrated to fully fill with laranite is a ball ache, waiting or relogging just seems a bit much tbh

#

time to switch to mining for a lil bit i think

blissful rain

yes confirmed

azure prawn

Why i cant buy anything from the trade consoles?

#

restocking

azure prawn
#

no it shows nothing

woeful moss
#

it's a bug

#

sometimes it shows up after a while

lofty crest
#

bugged itll sometimes come back

woeful moss
#

might be the server is dying

lofty crest
#

but if you are close/ ship stored just relog

azure prawn
#

But i wanna buy Agricum so i can go and sell it

lofty crest
#

what route are you on?

azure prawn
#

Shubin Mining Facility SAL-5--->Lorville CBD

lofty crest
#

guess its a waiting game

azure prawn
#

I am doing Agricium

#

24K profit

lofty crest
#

nice

#

what ship are you running it with?

azure prawn
#

Freelancer

#

but i am gonna spend 156.816 to buy it first

lofty crest
#

nice freelancer is the way to go a max can carry you all the way up imo

azure prawn
#

yea but

#

I remeber there was an Laranite run from Arial to Lorville

lofty crest
#

in a freelancer its best to quick runs. try the TM -> PO Laranite run

azure prawn
#

Tm?

lofty crest
#

Tram & Myers

azure prawn
#

oh

#

ok

lofty crest
#

it can be dangerous but its one of the quicker routes

azure prawn
#

How dangerous?

lofty crest
#

usually just pirates

#

and if its bad or someone reports it in chat

#

just get in the bed and relog

azure prawn
#

hmm

lofty crest
#

i grinded up 4mill doing an armistice only run which was super boring but got there eventually

azure prawn
#

I am just gonna change servers and then request my ship to not suffering the Qt time( My last time on being at station was PO)

mossy canyon
#

What is an armistice run, and how long did it take to make the 4M? @lofty crest

lofty crest
#

an armistice run is going between two areas where weapons are offline

#

and the 4 mill was way too long must have been a week all in all?

mossy canyon
#

Okay. That is not too bad. How do you do armistice runs? Are they are certain type of mission?

haughty zodiac
#

if you go to sc-trading.kamille.ovh/trading you can generate trade routes to follow

mossy canyon
#

Thanks I will check that out now. I’ve been managing one or two missions a day, despite play over 6 hours a day. Something always happens and I don’t complete it. Mostly game crashes. I’m trying to not get discouraged.

haughty zodiac
#

I'd figure out what's causing you to crash before doing trade routes

mossy canyon
#

And glitches. The last one yesterday i was in Lorville coming out of customs and I fell through the floor and died. I was devastated. Lol.

#

Bye bye ore. I’ve yet to make it to sell a load.

haughty zodiac
#

been good, all night, and now I've had two 30k's two cargo runs in a row

mossy canyon
#

Nice. Hoping for the best today.

lofty crest
#

trading isnt really about missions its more the idea of buy and sell

#

you find somewhere you buy material low and sell somewhere else high

#

Diamond or titanium are a good start for those kinds of runs

mossy canyon
#

I’m not trading atm. I’m doing cave missions and mining during them.

naive maple

no wipes for 3.10 thank god ... Confirmed
@blissful rain Where? How do you know?

#

There's no way to use the upgraded mining lasers on the rented ships right?

hollow sedge
#

Love how people reccomend tram when every time i am on there are always a bunch of asshats camping it and killing players left and right. Sure its fast but honestly not worth the risk

turbid plinth
#

@sand moth you can swap the heads out while in the pilot seat. Click vehicle manager and DO NOT SELECT A VEHICLE FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST. It will load your current vehicle after a second. Its currently a feature to allow replacing of mining consumables on the fly. But citizens are using it for all kinds of shenanigans too

sand moth
#

@turbid plinth Thanks! I was selecting the ship from the drop down but it had the lock. I will try this later after work. 🙂

@hollow sedge just do bezdek

much safer

tnm is half to a third of the time. hence why people risk it

I do hurston, takes longer but i can get in and out of lathan fine

Looking forward to using the laser i bought finally. I can't even crack most rocks with the stock one.

tame elbow
#

wait until 3.11 drops when we have object push and pull

hollow sedge
#

Just have to be smart and have your qt charged and ready before leaving armistice and full burn out of atmosphere

tame elbow
#

and you literally have to wait for your cargo to loaded box by box

hollow sedge
#

I dont think the loading will take that long or people will outright quit playing

tame elbow
#

it'll take a few minutes

turbid plinth
#

thats what happens when people have reached the endgame and made all the money they want. welcome to pvp content

tame elbow
#

if people are that much of babies that they stop playing because a full cat cargo isn't instantly teleported into the ship... they made a mistake buying this game

hollow sedge
#

Never said instant but of it takes RL time people will quit.

#

I load trucks for a living, it isnt fast

turbid plinth
#

id like cargo to take time to load. like a cat taking a good 10 mins

#

vs a freelancer being instant

#

then there's reasons to fly either

#

this laranite rush in a big red space pp is getting silly

tame elbow
#
turbid plinth
#

with cargo loading times there'd be a point to bring friends in a fleet of light haulers

hollow sedge
#

After reading that crap it sounds too much like a job

turbid plinth
#

its just space engineers/Minecraft dawg

hollow sedge
#

I load pallets all day irl, i dun wanna pay to do shit i get paid for

tame elbow
#

cargo hauling is a career

hollow sedge
#

I swear sometimes when i read this stuff i think CIG forgets this is supposed to be a game

tame elbow
#

the gameplay loops are all virtual careers

#

its a simulation game

hollow sedge
#

So is dcs

#

It doesnt feel like work

sand moth
#

Don't haul cargo in game then?

tame elbow

when hauling becomes more intricate and require a bit more effort
