[hollow sedge]

I picked up a C2 for its ballista hauling capabilities and large SCU

[weary idol]

Hey, try this site: https://sc-trade.tools/home

There you can enter your ship, you current amount of aUEC and whats profitable and how much you will make
I am using it always.
Started with my C2 with simple scraps runs. You need 100k aUEC to make 40k profit. Fly safe o7

[hollow sedge]

Thanks ill bookmark it

[reef smelt]

What’s the best laser head for a prospector

[vital glen]

is 4.3 mil enough for the c2?

i got money in refineries extra but i gotta wait like 24hrs

[reef smelt]

No, it’s about 4.9 mil

4,925,500 to be exact

[analog robin]

what color is the best ore for roc mining?

[reef smelt]

Hadanite is the best which is pink.

[analog robin]

oh lets go

i just mined 7 of them in one spot

[vital glen]

fuck imm just sitting here looking at my refinery orders crying

[reef smelt]

Nice

Do you guys know the best mining head for a prospector

[vital glen]

if you going for quant lancet

[reef smelt]

What about if I’m mining bexalite

[vital glen]

idk personally but if you look online im sure you will find the info easily

i just mine quant as its the most valuable resource to mine atm

[reef smelt]

Ok

Is bexalite worth it

[vital glen]

i mean for time spent mining quant is the best money maker

[reef smelt]

Ok

I’m just afraid of exploding

[vital glen]

no mine on lyria then go to arc-l1 easy trip

like 3-4 mins at the max

then store you mining ship as soon as you get into arc-l1 stops the volatility timer

[bold yew]

Bex is not worth it because you can only find trace amounts of it in rocks.

[tawny pecan]

I just lost 1.2M aUAE getting double-charged for purchasing trade cargo at Area 18. Anyone know if there's a way to get a refund for this?

[polar karma]

Hey everyone i had a question While mining my ROC said "overheating SHutting down" now it wont turn back on... is there a way to get it going again?

[mild pumice]

So trading fireworks is a waste of time then lol.

[vestal ravine]

Just lost 150 k on trying to buy av cargo at nbis. Be careful.

[vestal ravine]

You might have to haul it back to the pad and repair it or store then get out again.

[polar karma]

wow.... got it to the dock and it doesnt even give me the option to store my ship

say i can only claim it

[tawny pecan]

You can make good money trading Fireworks, Souvenirs, Construction Mats, and AV Parts if you're willing to take the risk. If the transactions work right, you can make 100K+ every 10 minutes. However, there's a chance you might get double-charged if a transaction fails on you. Happened to me twice and lose 1.2M out of it. 😦

[polar karma]

fuck this game man.. they really did a good job with the increased fps but its still unplayable. I'm about to close my 4th FULL ROC to bugs

see you all next year

to lose*

[crude palm]

Anyone try selling refined goods with the server so sluggish?

[analog robin]

you can rent the roc and the cutlass at any L1 right?

[pallid lake]

yes I believe any refinery station

however if you rent it at and L4-L5 in the cargo area you can get it a bit cheaper

something like 27.500 instead of what 35?

[analog robin]

is there a pembroke helmet or just a suit?

[cerulean lichen]

I think I might get back into ROC mining but I’ll wait for the free fly event to be done. Little to crowded at mining areas for my taste😅

[tawny pecan]

both

[crisp pulsar]

Is mole working again?

[hollow sedge]

Not that Im aware of. Still busted

[woeful ibex]

yea was busted for me last night hole reason i went and bought a prospector

[surreal sparrow]

[dreamy pine]

looking to teach new players hmu

[vestal cairn]

which cargo ship should i save up for Buccaneer or Hercules and why?

[dreamy pine]

looking for new players to teach hmu

[dusk shuttle]

Of course, I finally save up enough money to get a Prospector and the correct mining head, get some quantanium, and make it back.
And the f*cking refinery kiosk/screen doesn't work

[vital glen]

this is really random but can i get a bomber jacket in game anywhere

saw someone wearing one and it looked awesome

[cursive cave]

Is the avenger titan any good when it comes to cargo running? I'm brand new and it seems like a good ship to save for

[deep vector]

At Invictus hall

[deep vector]

Too small

[slate nimbus]

Are N and E type asteroids worth collecting if you can't find any Q type? Or do they not sell for much?

[rose cedar]

the titan imho is more of a going from point a to b and nothing more

[hollow sedge]

False

[rotund prairie]

so the audio visual equipment doesn't make me as much as I expected. bought 2 mil worth and only made 40k

[solar hare]

cargo running is when u buy low, go somewhere else, sell high, right?

[thorny pendant]

Aka Trading, yes.

[solar hare]

is constellation Taurus good for that

[thorny pendant]

It's a decent option

[calm hazel]

I rented a prospector and have been trying to mine quantumite, but haven't been having the best of luck with it. Is there another place to go/ore to target until I can buy my own ship and get the miner upgrades that is decent to mine?

[thorny pendant]

If you're having trouble then I recommend you rent a ROC and a ship that can carry one and mine Hadanite instead to raise the funds to buy a Prospector. Renting one isn't that great of an option.

[calm hazel]

Any good places to mine hadanite?

[thorny pendant]

Daymar and Aberdeen

[limber fjord]

Anyone got any quant mining tips? Currently im running a lancent mh1 with not modules on a prospector. I mine on Lyria, refine at arc-l1 and use dinyx.

[calm hazel]

Thanks. Also, any good resource on learning move cargo? I watched a video on 'cargo-stacking' but he said most likely it won't be viable in 3.17

Or the inventory system would be changed

[thorny pendant]

That's all there is to it. If you wanna step it up, try using the Surge and Stampede modules.

[limber fjord]

I honestly dont lime mining

Im just trying to save up to a c2

I almost had one then a wipe took out a few mil in quant orders

[thorny pendant]

Trading is pretty much on halt cus the word is they're going to rework it. As it stands right now, if you don't have a ship with a large Cargo Hold, then it's almost not worth doing it.

[calm hazel]

I have a c2 loaner

[thorny pendant]

Refinery jobs get wiped on patches.

[limber fjord]

Im new and didnt know that

Ive been playing for 4 weeks and so far ive made enough to get a prospector and thats it

[thorny pendant]

I lost quite a few myself. Part of the learning curve.

[limber fjord]

Whens the next patch wipe

If prefer not to lose what i have again

[thorny pendant]

No clue

[limber fjord]

Is there any better ways to make money because for the time ive put in i dont have alot to show for it

[thorny pendant]

Everything makes money. Just a matter of how you want to spend your time.

Mining does tend to have the best returns as of right now though.

[limber fjord]

What do you recommend with a titan and a prospector

[thorny pendant]

Not much options there. You can either run bounties with the Titan or Quant mining with the prospector. Alternatively you can do Bunker missions and level up your rep for better paying missions.

[delicate girder]

To all professional haulers. Are any of you brave enough to land at a hauling destination with a load and just log out without storing the ship? Is the ship automatically stored in that case?

[thorny pendant]

I think it only works on major cities. Lorvile, Area 18, etc.

I'm extremely skeptical and don't even think about risking it though. Better safe than sorry. Imagine investing 17m on Audio Visual Equipment and trying that to save some time only to log back in and lose all the cargo.

[delicate girder]

The reason I ask is that I keep landing at various ports and space parts above the major cities to sell at the admin and the elevators in 3.17 have a bad habit swallowing you up into the station geometry to where you can get out. When that happens, I just stand there for 15 or more minutes before I logout to give the ship time to store. If I do that, I don't lose the cargo. The problems is that this elevator glitching is happing about one out of three times now and it waists a shit ton of my time.

[thorny pendant]

Call the elevator and take a few steps back before the doors open

[calm hazel]

I think that the the loaner ship I have access to (hercules) is one of those bigger cargo ones, but I'm not sure where to even start with making money like that

[thorny pendant]

C2 is the go to ship for trading. It is the biggest ship SCU-wise currently available right now which is ideal for Trading.

[delicate girder]

I do do that but it still sucks me in. I'm usually about three person lengths away and it still does it. I'll step back even more next time.

Damn. How long does it take a C2 to auto-store?

[thorny pendant]

Im unsure

[thorny pendant]

I take quite a few steps back. If that doesn't work, try doing a test run with maybe 1 SCU of cargo and logging out see if it saves your cargo.

[calm hazel]

At least the ROC is cheap lol, not just gotta figure out what ot put it in

Well, it'll fit in the c2 at least lol

[thorny pendant]

I usually do Cutty Black + Roc. It's pretty affordable and you can get both on the same station

[calm hazel]

Is taking the smaller ship cheaper to operate?

And it looks like the rocs are on the l1 stations

[thorny pendant]

You don't wanna go scouting with a C2, trust me.

[vivid sorrel]

Anyone else feel the hangar elevator moves slower when you've got quant onboard? 😛

[calm hazel]

I think I rented the roc at l1, where do I go to spawn it?

[gentle acorn]

At mining facilities on planets. There's a blue building.

Is there a way to get pembroke helmet without working terminals?

[feral totem]

Lorville. Tammany and sons

[gentle acorn]

Thanks, already on it 😄

[feral totem]

I thought CIG fixed the refinery terminals?

[gentle acorn]

You wish

Someone said terminals got a fix last night. I went to Arc L1 and nope

[buoyant grail]

Mole still 0.00/0.00?

[vital glen]

@gentle acorn nope what?

[gentle acorn]

Wrong tag?

[calm hazel]

driving a roc on aberdeen is... interesting

[vivid sorrel]

wheeee! 😄

[solar hare]

is handmineable stuff only found in caves

[vivid sorrel]

they are found on top too, BUT they're rare, and very very hard to detect with ship scanners, you gotta be like...500? 300? meters to see them on scanner. So basically that makes caves the best way to find them

[junior crescent]

if im buying cargo and it says max available stock, does that mean the next time i come there to buy again there wont be any?

[vivid sorrel]

There is a restock rate, but i can't say how fast that is

[blazing cedar]

If you wanna ROC mine and have a C2, also take a Merlin and park it in the hold for scouting

Or a Pisces

[vivid sorrel]

For some lols ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3LhFXUYPKA

[delicate girder]

Vary intertaining, but I don't agree with his conclusions.

[vivid sorrel]

Well as i said mostly for fun 🙂

[delicate girder]

So based on that video the DS in ROC-DS stand for Deamon Spawn!

[deep vector]

Preview is killing it

[steel flame]

pfff the commodities machine consol made me pay two loads and credit me. without validating the loading because the console loaded infinitely. this is how i just wasted my morning and lost 730k auec stupid game ....
I farmed shitty missions all morning just to get robbed by a bug on this commodity machine

[deep vector]

Oh

[vivid sorrel]

Huh, didn't know i could buy stuff to the ship when it's being claimed and still counting down. Was afraid i lost the money, but it had the cargo!

[viscid pelican]

have selling terminals been disabled?

[vivid sorrel]

no?

[north oyster]

[sacred hinge]

can some one help me with starting to trade stuff around because there are no usefull youtube videos around and i just started so dont know a lot about the game

[north oyster]

Trade really isn't in the best place at the moment. It only favors the huge ships. With this new patch there are multiple reports of issues with terminals, loosing aUEC, etc. However, if you want a crash course, this video by Jack Axton from 6 months ago covers most everything you need to know, how to get started, commodities and locations to turn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NxTYWawbvM

The two best paying careers at this time in SC is bounty hunting and Mining. But as a warning, because of the Free Fly, the condition of the patch they forced out before being ready and the servers ... it might not go well

[tawdry light]

What am I supposed to do at the pickup site (ship wreck) in the middle of space? I need to extract a crate

Do I just... exit my ship in space?

[rough cove]

Yes.

[vital glen]

can you biy the A2 in game?

[tawdry light]

Can't find the crate

??

[toxic oyster]

the sad answer is, its probably bugged

[tawdry light]

Oh my god...

[toxic oyster]

I had that wreck, but was unable to get through the open door 😆

the good news is that the derelicts are usually functional, so bugs like these are rarer

unlike bunkers, which are notoriously bugged

[north oyster]

5.5M aUEC at the Crusader Showroom

[vital glen]

dont think the terminal works

[blazing cedar]

Yes, but not right now because Crusader Showroom's terminal is broken

[north oyster]

Here's a "glitch" that you might want to check out for earning aUEC
Edit glitch was fixed

[dark frigate]

can u still buy it

im trying to buy AV rn

wont let me

[north oyster]

They may have killed it then

It was filled as a bug report

[balmy badger]

No

It's just out of stock

it's for Fleet Week

[nocturne rune]

How to mine better?

in prison

any tips?

[vivid sorrel]

From what i read, the mining isn't the most worthwhile if you have more then 1-2 crime rating - the maintenance tasks are worth the most merits

[real axle]

I have a cluster of quant here with nice rocks if anyone wants to grab it. I have enough to fill up my prospector already

I'll stay at the cluster for another 10 mins

then ill leave

[warm spear]

Check out sc-trade.tools for comprehensive info on commodities and trading outposts. You can go from there in starting your own trade routes. Just running from the Laranite/Titanium dispensary to the TDD gets old pretty quickly. I've enjoyed post-to-post trading n' looting for a while now.

[jovial pasture]

i am trying to sell my cargo i slecect it and it says its says "awaiting item selction"

any help????

😢

[crude palm]

Issue Council #STARC-38161 shows as fixed. Has anyone been able to test out a Mole yet?

[sacred hinge]

im looking for a upgrade to buy after my avenger titan ship something with good cargo cap

[delicate girder]

IMO, go with a Connie Taurus for a medium hauler for instance.

[real axle]

Freelancer Max 2mill AUEC or $150

Taurus 3.2mill aUEC

[delicate girder]

That's good too.

[real axle]

C2 Hercules 5mill

[delicate girder]

With the Connie Taurus you get more cargo space and it's way safer than the freelancers too.

[vivid sorrel]

Ah, but you can't fit a ROC inside a Taurus, which you can probably fit two inside a Freelancer MAX ^^

[calm hazel]

I can't make anything work... I take the cutlas I rented to aberdeen, park on the pad, go to get the ROC and it immediately starts jiggling when I get out of the ship, and then the ship angle has turned so much I can't get back in the ramp. Happened twice in a row

[vivid sorrel]

Did you turn off the engines with "i"?

[calm hazel]

maybe not, will that stop that from happening?

[delicate girder]

Counsil is down right now. What was the one fixing?

[vivid sorrel]

It should. Ships have an annoying tendency to maybe move up abit or around when you leave them with engines on

[calm hazel]

I did try driving the roc to a rock and trying to crack it, but nothing happened. Do I need to fly around looking for super tiny rocks?

[vivid sorrel]

You should watch a tutorial for it, but basically yes. You have smallest hand minable gems, then you have a bit larger gems for ROC, and the largest Ore rocks for prospector\mole

[calm hazel]

I did watch a tutorial :X that's the worst part lol. Hopefully last question for a while - it sounded like the guy in the tutorial said that the ship scanner will tell you what's in a rock, but when I scan it just tells me the size and stuff. Do I need to change modes or something?

[vivid sorrel]

The closer you get the more information you get

To get the composition you need to get within 200 meters for ore...gems abit closer

[crude palm]

The mineral capacity showing 0/0 and not allowing you to mine or refine.

[sacred hinge]

yea i got for the freelancer max then i gues he looks good to

[median smelt]

Why not?! I can fit 2 inside Andro, certainly 2 can go into Taurus

[median smelt]

Some comments on the YT stating this was patched and that people are unable to sell it for more than 1 credit

[vivid sorrel]

I just assume the cargo bay elevator won't fit it, i haven't actually tried...so it fits the cargo elevator?

[median smelt]

Yes, I run with a crew of 2 ROC, just dropping and picking up moving to new location, while I scout when they mine

Is there a place to track my last transaction? As in, I want to see how much I bought an item for vs. sold it

[calm hazel]

This time I put down the cutlass, disengage the engine, got the ROC, and the ship was just... gone :( on the plus side, the previous cutlas I did figure out how to get in by flipping the roc and exiting while it was sideways

[median smelt]

Like disappeared?

Or floated away because...physics

[calm hazel]

as far as I can tell it just despawned when I requested the ROC

maybe because I would have 3 things spawned then?

[median smelt]

Yes

[north oyster]

I'll edit the comment and remove the link then

[median smelt]

Only 2 ships/vehicles spawned at a time

[calm hazel]

wish it had despawned the one was kinda floating away, but at least it was salvageable

[median smelt]

I feel like there should be a warning when it's going to do that...but hey... Alpha, amiright?

[calm hazel]

and in big progress I was able to get the ROC onto my ship! unfortunatly that gave me crimestat but what can you do

[median smelt]

I wish the commodity stocks weren't shared across servers.... Makes it so difficult

[north oyster]

The limit use to be 3

[deft dome]

This game has the worst trade system ever invented. Its not a trade system its a "selling system"

[north oyster]

The shared shared commodities are totally messed up however I'm sure it'll be very interesting with 3.18. I'm thinking a wipe then also

[deft dome]

picking up stuff and bringing them to major cities and hav nothing to bring in return is something a 5 year old would come up with.

[calm hazel]

"I've played game on my ti-83 calculator with better trading"

[north oyster]

Trade is in a bad place and will remain there until the cargo refactor

There is no career with it at this time. Only small earnings

[median smelt]

https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes - use the circular routes option

Not the best, but it's the only tool we have now

[north oyster]

All trade favors the huge ships, so small very profitable items are not there yet. Vice is broken also

Aspects of quanta are being implemented (very limited) with 3.17 on just a few items. I'm not seeing that going too well until the 3.18/Alpha 4 stage

3.17.2 will literally be the last version of this game as it is. What shows up in 3.18 will practically be a different game (but not given a new version because they will not change version number until Server Meshing and Pyro rollout)

[north oyster]

how did you gain a CS with loading a ROC? Just curious

[calm hazel]

I think I got a little air on the ramp and damaged the top lid of the loading area

[north oyster]

odd, never heard of such. At an outpost on the moon?

[calm hazel]

yeah, but I mean I think I damaged my cutlass with the roc and got crime for it

[north oyster]

I thought they had removed that aspect in a previous patch but 3.17.1 has been a hot mess. I wouldn't doubt that was accidently stuck back in the code

On MISC day, if you can rent a MAX, give that a whirl for ROC escort. That's what I've been using for a few years. Excellent RORO (roll-on, roll-off) with that wide ramp

[calm hazel]

if I make it that long lol. I've been trying to play for 3 days and haven't been able to do one single thing successfully

[north oyster]

I hear you, it's sad that for Free Fly the patches are historically garbage

[calm hazel]

I landed by a gem rock to see if I could mine it, and destroyed the front left section of the cutlass, trying to see if I can get it repaired at the mining place, but I think I might not be able to repair because armistice privileges are revoked

[north oyster]

Yeah, might be a trip to Grim to get that fixed

What level CS?

[calm hazel]

1

[north oyster]

that's a fine you can pay if you can find a console. You shouldn't encounter deadly force for that

[calm hazel]

I don't think I can quantum travel with this damage, or at least destinations don't seem to pop up correctly

[north oyster]

on your HUD you should be able to bring up your ship components to check the status. Make sure your QT is powered on. If you had changed it, that might be an issue

[vivid sorrel]

Do people really use CRU-L1 for the 3% yield on Quant when mining on Lyria?

[north oyster]

No, normally ARC-L1 because of the distance.

CRU-L1 is normally used by Halo miners

The 3% bonus is pretty nice

[calm hazel]

Oh, quantum fail button isn't lit up, so if I can fly straight enoguh I might be able to get somewhere

[north oyster]

depending upon location, that might be very long trip. You can log out and then back in. That might be a better bet

[vivid sorrel]

Yeah that makes more sense

[vivid sorrel]

You can hit m to see the exact time left bottom left cornner

[north oyster]

He's talking about Quantum travel

[vivid sorrel]

lol

[north oyster]

picked up damage on his cutty and not sure the QT works

[vivid sorrel]

Quant on my brain 😄

[north oyster]

it stays on my brain. Nice ROC mining is back so I can change up a little

[calm hazel]

Yeah, I don't get any targets other than aberdeen so I thought the drive might have been broken

[rotund prairie]

this guy clearly bullshiting everyone right?

[north oyster]

check your map to make sure you are still not only aimed for Aberdeen

Clear your jump map

[calm hazel]

Yeah, I set hurston as target and just flew away from planet till I could see it

[north oyster]

F2, look to make sure you're not still holding a set course

[calm hazel]

Ah, I meant I was able to get it

[north oyster]

that was when the Trade bug for medical supplies was running

[dense scarab]

Is there a good trade route that always has demand? One that you can repeat forever?

[hollow sedge]

nah its real lol

[north oyster]

Scrap from TDD in A18 to ARC-L1 makes about 20K per hop

Gold from Lyria (honeyridge or the other) to TDD

[dense scarab]

I heard people saying 'scrap is broken', whatever that means

[north oyster]

that's old news, scrap has been fixed since 3.16

There are only 5 places that take scrap in for purchase though

It use to be PO, but no longer

The buyers are Cru L5, Hur L5, Mic L1, Arc L1

[dense scarab]

https://sc-trade.tools/commodities/Scrap

Seems like there's more

But thanks, I'll give scrap a try 🙂

[north oyster]

I'm just sharing what I know works. Sometimes what is reported by the SC servers, which is data mined by trade sites (and I do like SC trade tools, great site) isn't always dependable

You buy scrap in two places in Area18 - admin and TDD. TDD has a greater volume. The amount you earn is depended upon the ship. I use a C2, so that's what my return estimate is based on

[tawny pecan]

I'm not

[north oyster]

The AV exploit might be resolved now though

With a C2, you bought at 17M aUEC and sold at 34M aUEC

[tawny pecan]

it's not an exploint. It's an actual trade route. Buy AV for $250, sell for $500

[north oyster]

Good return for a 25 minutes run

[north oyster]

Correct, "Bug" is more accurate, my apologies

[tawny pecan]

more like a feature to me. 😉

[north oyster]

LOL, heard that

[tawny pecan]

my wallet last night vs right now

[dense scarab]

How are you selling for $500, understock only pays 252

[tawny pecan]

it's not advertised, but if you go to Orison Admin, it buys AV for 500

[valid quarry]

is there any reason i shouldn't buy cargo if my ships cargo bay has a vehicle in it?

[north oyster]

It's called a bug, the terminal sold for 2x what you had. You had a 100% return

[dense scarab]

:o

Time to ascend myself from a pennyless hobo

[north oyster]

It can work, but you'll could glitch out, but it will certainly be way less cargo you can haul (if any)

[north oyster]

I think the bug has be squashed

[valid quarry]

i did a full 96 scu run with my roc in the bay, but i'm scared to try again lol

[north oyster]

only 40 seconds to claim the ROC, back her out and drop it

[valid quarry]

yeah i'm at a18, guess i'll go to orbit, and uhh.. drive it off and hopefully not explode

last time i tried driving a vehicle off in space everything got real dark

[north oyster]

You can go to bejini, land then back it out. it will get impounded and you're good

request landing for the ship though

[valid quarry]

yeah that's not a bad idea

[north oyster]

I've done it many times

just get back in ship and take off, ATC will claim the ROC

[valid quarry]

is av really only selling for 252, meaning that you get 4xfull ship of scu for the trip, is that really what cargo running usually makes?

[north oyster]

AV had a bug where you got a 100% return. So that might be why it is showing that

[valid quarry]

oh is it still doing that?

[north oyster]

many claim it is not

I haven't tried and most reports that it worked, like @tawny pecan , was from yesterday

[tawny pecan]

My last offload was 2 hours ago bought 17 Mil of AV and sold it for $34M

I'm going to keep running until it no longer works for me. Maybe hit 1 Billion auac LOL

[calm hazel]

Wait, I went to everest and they wouldn't let me land, then self detructed and woke up on grimhex, and had no crime stat... until I got to daymar. How can I pay my fine if I can't go to a terminal?

[valid quarry]

gotta pay it at grimhex

[rose cedar]

is hurL2 the one with quant refine bonus?

[vivid sorrel]

https://redmonstergaming.com/mining-cheat-sheets/

[rose cedar]

trying to have a dedicated window for SC

[tawny pecan]

Just sold another $34M load at Orison! 🤑 🤑 🤑

[calm hazel]

and now I can't get into the new cutlass cause the ramp access buttons are broken :X

[north oyster]

buying at A18?

[tawny pecan]

yep

There is an inventory limit, but it refreshes after a while just like every other trade terminal

[dense scarab]

Do you have to press anything for trade terminals to refresh, or does the new stock update automatically?

[tawny pecan]

it updates automatically

Damn son

[cold mauve]

I heard that you were quite the Charitable man..... 😉

[tawny pecan]

I'm saving up to buy every ship in the game, but if you need help I can shoot you some cash

[cold mauve]

Oh no i was only joking, but every ship in the game? have you calculated how much that would cost?

[dense scarab]

Please sir. a morsel of cash 🥺

[cold mauve]

Sure, take this penny

[cold mauve]

Im guessing you are using the C2?

[tawny pecan]

Yes, C2

[rotund prairie]

is there a way to see details on your current cargo from an MFD or mobiglass menu?

[tawny pecan]

not that I'm aware. Only from a trade terminal

[rotund prairie]

terminal let me load up c2 but when I got back to spaceport, the asop terminal was not finished claiming. not sure if the cargo actually stuck

[rotund prairie]

have you ever loaded a ship that was still in claims?

[tawny pecan]

Yea, it sometimes lets you load a ship that is in the process of being claimed

just wait for it to finish and retrieve it. it should have all the cargo

So to buy every vehicle in the game I need $295M. Might have to go for it. 🤣

[dense scarab]

Oh god, after you said that, I checked my cargo hold and it's empty. That's every penny I have gone

[tawny pecan]

how did you check it?

[dense scarab]

Visually by looking into the cargo hold

I don't know any other way

[valid quarry]

i did a cargo run my first just a few hours ago

and nothing was in the cargo bay

except my roc, that i may or may not have forgotten was in it

but when i got to orison, it showed on the trade terminal, and i sold it

so i bought air for 1.2m and sold it for 2.5m

[tawny pecan]

Yea. Cargo on C2's is not showing in the hold

[dense scarab]

I don't own a C2, it's another ship

[valid quarry]

i did it with aconnie

[young dust]

can anyone sell AVE at orison or did they make it impossible

[rotund prairie]

about to land and try now will let you know

[young dust]

cause I cant for some reason

[rotund prairie]

i was able to sell

try logging into a different region

[young dust]

thats odd...trying now

[tawny pecan]

if the inventory is red, you have to just wait for it to refresh and turn white

[dense scarab]

what place in orison buys AV

The city is massive

[young dust]

how long is the refresh then?

[ruby mango]

the stores in refineries are down? or just Arc L1

[calm hazel]

woop woop, only took 8 hours, but successfully mines 5 usc of aphorite

[ruby mango]

also can you use more than 1 mining gadget on a rock at a time?

[tawny pecan]

yes

[ruby mango]

is there a reliable out of game tool to search shop inventories

[blazing cedar]

!itemfinder

[wary tusk]

Universal Item Finder

Use the website to search for any item (and where to buy them) in-game.

[gentle ruin]

can you get negative resistance

?

with mining lasers

also any tips on mining big rocks with gadgets

or is the only way double surge

[sacred hinge]

why can i not sell my stuff

[tawny pecan]

Inventory is drained, just wait until it refreshes and turns white

[sacred hinge]

how long does that take

[tawny pecan]

like 5 - 15 minutes typically

[sacred hinge]

so i just need to stay on this screen for 5/15 minutes

[gloomy crystal]

IF anyone needs help selling im down, have nothing lol

[leaden bolt]

What are some ships other than the C2 for cargo runs. I am just using the Constellation Taurus right now

[thorn spindle]

catepillar

[sacred hinge]

is there some one who has to much money and who wants to help me buy a new cargo ship i want to buy the freelancer max

[buoyant grail]

If I sever hop and have cargo stored in my ship (ship is also stored), will said cargo disapper?

[sacred hinge]

no i just tested it

[buoyant grail]

oof

[ocean skiff]

So, I can't sell some items and someone told me it's because they're already full. How long would I have to wait before being able to sell my items?

[ocean skiff]

Also, if I log off, will my cargo still be there?

[sacred hinge]

i gues so if you can log off from the server and rejoin that its still there then you can also leave the hole game i think

[buoyant grail]

was this physical cargo or trade cargo?

[sacred hinge]

trade cargo

[tawny pecan]

Trade terminal inventories max out and drain and automatically replenish themselves every 10-15 minutes. you just have to wait and keep checking the terminal, they will replenish eventually

[buoyant grail]

Thx 🙂 on to waiting then

[tawny pecan]

note that trade inventories are GLOBAL, you can't server hop and get a different inventory.

inventory has refreshed, sell sell sell!

[vapid ermine]

Just as I left to bring a 2nd load over...

[sacred hinge]

i just sold my cargo but the game says its still in there but i got my money already XD what

[tawny pecan]

that's just a visual bug. it gets cleared once you leave

[sacred hinge]

once i leave the selling screen?

@tawny pecanor when i leave the server

[tawny pecan]

not sure. I think terminal

[sacred hinge]

well it was still there when i left the terminal

[grizzled marten]

hey are the Scrap yards/ Drug houess still bugged?

[rose cedar]

[vapid ermine]

when did the servers last refresh?

[rose cedar]

4 quant rocks cant scan

curse you gaaame

[leaden bolt]

Where would one go about buying the C2

[tawny pecan]

You can buy them at Orison Crusader showroom or at Area 18

[leaden bolt]

Thank you now to save up the big bucks for it

[vapid ermine]

SELL

[jovial tiger]

If you're a big baller you can get the m2 at loreville

[sacred hinge]

M2?

[jovial tiger]

The blue C2

[leaden bolt]

aint a big baller yet but we will get there

[sacred hinge]

ah

well if some one would help me to finance the freelancer max that would help a lot XD

[teal saffron]

is the Aurora CL not able to hold Agricium as cargo?

cuz i can't buy any

[reef smelt]

Whenever I refine my cargo how come I can’t store it back in my prospector?

[vivid magnet]

the aurora can't carry any cargo yet, it's waiting on a small version of the raft cargo containers

[teal saffron]

so I upgraded to the aurora CL for nothing?

cuz it can't carry any cargo

[vivid magnet]

I'd upgrade to a freelancer. or just melt and buy the freelancer gamepackage. It carries 66 SCU

[mortal field]

Is the Av equipement cargo stuff disabled at ARea18 ?

[restive ether]

if I'm trying to sell cargo and the price is red, that means they can't buy more atm right?

[vivid magnet]

Yeah

[jovial tiger]

That means the market is saturated rn

[restive ether]

that's what I thought

[jovial tiger]

Too many people buying and selling

[vivid magnet]

Just wait about ten more minutes

[jovial tiger]

It's not patched or anything

Like it's working in AUS lol

Switch regions

[vivid magnet]

I'm trying to find a trade route that not many people use

maybe medical supplies

[mortal field]

So should I relog or just wait in front of it ?

[restive ether]

I have 400k in av right now waiting to double it LOL

[vivid magnet]

it's demand is very low, and supply is very high

[mortal field]

lol

[vivid magnet]

just wait

[jovial tiger]

Switch regions it should work

[mortal field]

ok

[vivid magnet]

no

The cargo is global

[jovial tiger]

Aussies are sleeping right now go make your money

[mortal field]

I said ok to you lol

[vivid magnet]

it doesn't matter how many servers you switch

[jovial tiger]

I'm literally doing it right now

I'm on my second run

[restive ether]

welp

I hope they fix this shit with cargo refactor

or a way to see it without hauling all the way to the destination just for it to not sell

[leaden bolt]

Where are you guys buying and selling the AV for

[rustic walrus]

after I complete a work order and move it the RAFT, I can't access that inv in the trade console?

[jovial tiger]

What trade console are you using?

What location

[rustic walrus]

ARC-L1

Do I need to take it somewhere else? Pretty new to this

[jovial tiger]

You can't sell quantanium there

Need to take it to area 18

And sell it at TDD

[rustic walrus]

will try, thanks

[restive ether]

holy hell, I don't have the patience for this

[teal saffron]

Ok thx

[jovial tiger]

Idk how much the free Lancer is but the Taurus carries 96SCU

Might be better in the long run

[mortal field]

Connie Taurus ?

It holds 174 SCU

[restive ether]

^

96 is the RAFT

[jovial tiger]

Oh shit wait it carries more than the andromeda?

[mortal field]

ofc

[restive ether]

a lot more yes.

[mortal field]

its made for that

[restive ether]

the taurus is the hauling variant.

[jovial tiger]

Makes sense

[restive ether]

omg I'm gonna strangle someone if I can't sell these av shit soon

i literally have 117 auec rn

[mortal field]

ahaha

[jovial tiger]

Lol have you tried switching regions

[restive ether]

i'm too lazy to fuck with that

[mortal field]

bro never invest all your life saving on one thing

[jovial tiger]

It probably won't work but worth a shot

[restive ether]

hell nah i live for high risk high reward

I'm gonna try swapping servers

[jovial tiger]

It just worked for me

I was on aus server and it was read

Red*

Switched to eu and sold full c2 worth of AV

Keep trying

[restive ether]

just leaving to the menu and logging back in and i was able to sell

800k now 🙂

[tawny pecan]

I just lost $17M getting padrammed by a griefer. Be careful out there! LOL

[mortal field]

Thats horrible bruh

Thats what im scared of

[tawny pecan]

It's gg's. Lowlifes in every game.

[marsh anchor]

so I bought a prospector to try my hand at mining

on lyria rn having a hard time finding a quantanium deposit above 5%

what % should i be looking for?

[marsh anchor]

dam ok so this 2.6k rock with 13% is not worth

been searching for 10 mins lol

[mortal field]

noo lol

Why dont u go in the Aaron's Halo

I feel like theres much more stuff there

[rose cedar]

the quant goddess is with me tonight lads

even if this server's global chat doesnt work lol

i mighta spoke too soon...

the mining rate not rising or dropping after surge

[delicate girder]

If your at a cargo terminal with selected cargo waiting for stock to refresh, will it refresh automatically or do you have to 1) click off the commodity to another and back 2) click between buy and sell 3) get out of the terminal and back in. What's the least thing you can do to get the refresh when it happens?

[teal saffron]

what's the cheapest medium freighter?

[iron pike]

Why can I still use rented ships after they expire?

[mortal field]

A gift from god

Say thx you to Papa Robert

[rotund prairie]

has anyone ever had partial 30k where everything freezes like a 30k but it never kicks you?

if i wait long enough will it kick me with 30k protection?

has anyone ever waited it out and got kicked? i am pretty sure if I relog I lose all my cargo

ooh shit nvm it actually just kicked me with 30k. thank fk. i had been waiting like 30 minutes

[teal saffron]

Does anyone know what kind of cargo the Aurora CL can carry?

[rose cedar]

did someone post a work-around for the refinery consoles?

the shop consoles*

sorry

[cedar flower]

Consider Hull A

Or freelancer MAX

[teal saffron]

ok thx

[runic niche]

hi man! why i can't buy Audio on the Area 18

i can't select amount

[deft dome]

is the price in red?

[runic niche]

no

oh yes sry

[deft dome]

They are out of it then.

[night lion]

I am wondering this as well

[dry vault]

can you buy hull A in game?

[rose cedar]

fml

[rugged axle]

after i set the refinement, i can go back out in the same ship right? like itll be empty cause the refinery is "holding" all the material?

[rose cedar]

anothr 5 cluster of quant rocks i cannot scan

[dry vault]

yo what happens if i need to log out with cargo in my ship? like if i log out in a city does it hold it? just picked up cargo

[rugged axle]

store the ship and you should be good

[dry vault]

if i havent even retrieved it yet should it still be fine?

[rugged axle]

yea, you just dont want to log out with it in the verse

im guessing the AV bug is still working?

[deft dome]

When they have it in stock, yes

[rugged axle]

nice, i just mined 27scu of quant. but dunno the process now lol. once its in the refinery its "stored" there right? so i can take the prospector back out?

[deft dome]

yup if it is being refined it can stay there for as long as you want even affter it completes

you can queue up multiple jobs too

[rugged axle]

ok cool. heading back out lol. and general rule of thumb is its worth double the unrefined price right?

[deft dome]

yeah take the volume you are going to have at completion and multiply that * 88

[rugged axle]

oh, i didnt see the refined volume :(. unrefined it was going to sell for like 180k i think

[deft dome]

good load

[rugged axle]

it was a 31% 5k mass rock,with a really good break

i think 5 of the extracted pieces were 100%

[deft dome]

nice, those are fun like that

[rugged axle]

makes up for the hour i searched the other night and couldnt find anything over 2% lol

[cinder osprey]

Is recommended build for Prospector still as low EM and IR as possible?

Basically just a good quantum, shield and mining laser and the rest is removed

[marble crater]

Stealth is not really working now so I wouldn't bother tbh

[median smelt]

Is it possible to put mining lasers on a Connie?

[cinder osprey]

Lmao

Only mining ships can have mining lasers, basically only Prospector and Mole right now

[median smelt]

Lol I know it seems like a silly question, but I have 3 ROC's running on the ground mining, I want to simply be able to extract the commodity

So essentially, I want to be a giant vaccum

[robust osprey]

did they disable the audio visual equipment?

[rugged axle]

probably just sold out. and have your qt set and spooled before leaving armastice. just had a griefer in my server. launched missles as soon as i hit armastice.

[robust osprey]

how do i see how long till it refreshes?

[rugged axle]

server tick is around 15 mins.

im not running big loads in case it doesnt work lol

[robust osprey]

so just chill by the console and check here and there?

[valid quarry]

gotta risk it for the biscuit!!

[rugged axle]

yea basically

[valid quarry]

started at 2m should be doing 17m runs by the end of the night woooooo

[median smelt]

I imagine they will roll that stuff back once they catch on

[valid quarry]

doubt it

but i guess it's possible

[rose cedar]

10 cluster of quant colored rocks, unscannable fml

this makes around the 4th cluster i couldnt scan

[valid quarry]

Zaku been combin the desert for hourrssss

[rose cedar]

i have been at it for at leaat 2hrs in halo

earlier i had 3 good hits close to my QT dropout

im prob gonna stop for the night lol

[marble crater]

Servers are a dumpster fire with Invictus on, not surprised to hear the Halo has alot of unscannables

[rose cedar]

i have held off mining during invictus, but i needs the cash. this is my first day back mining

and my game froze

yep im done

lol

[rugged axle]

heh griefer at both planets. too bad missles dont follow qt

[rose cedar]

... game crashed, opened back up in space piloting prospector

[sharp galleon]

What’s all this AV equipment cargo hubbub I’m hearing about?

[rose cedar]

stuffs soldout

[tawny pecan]

Buy AV equipment at area18 admin for 250 and sell it at Orison Admin for 500. Do the math.

[valid quarry]

can use a free rented connie to make 2.5m each run

[cinder osprey]

What are mining gadgets? Are they new and which one (if any) is used for Quant? I imagine Sabir or none?

[verbal cargo]

I like Boremax myself, can crack big rocks with it

[naive island]

Guys i got some cargo, but i can’t sell it, its signed like in red, why its like that?

[verbal cargo]

because everyone else sold the station too much, you gotta wait for it to refresh in 15-20min

[naive island]

Oh okay, so if i store my ship here even changing server won’t delete my cargo right?

[verbal cargo]

right, it'll be safe

[naive island]

Okay, cool, ty so much dude

[valid quarry]

is the sale global or serverwide?

[verbal cargo]

global

[valid quarry]

right, so no point in switching servers

[vestal cairn]

everyones making so much money any one get really sweaty when u have to land at orison and things start lagging a bit

[marsh anchor]

should i refine everything else i get while im mining quant?

like beryl

[gaunt fiber]

I usually don’t, but if you don’t mind spending a bit of money it can be a nice bonus when you sell it

[marsh anchor]

spend money to make money ig

[valid quarry]

i'm standing here looking at this sell window while it's red sweating... lol

[vestal cairn]

just change server or wait it out
happened to me

[valid quarry]

i hear it's global, not server that determines supply, that not true?

[vestal cairn]

i dunno i changed server 2wice and it worked for me
maybe i got lucky

[rugged axle]

lol, griefer got mad he couldnt kill me in space. so he followed me down and rammed me at the port

[valid quarry]

seems to be a lot of that tonight

camping orison

[rugged axle]

he means server as in, go from usa...to eu...or au

[valid quarry]

ohhhhhh

[rugged axle]

even worse, this guy was at area 18

like...you sure showed me...since i didnt have anything on the ship

[valid quarry]

lol

i been coming into orison scoping the place out like i'ma bout to sell drugs

bout to start hiring gunners

[rugged axle]

im confused on how they are at the space port if they have crimestats....

like i was half way in the bay and he rolled right up and rammed me

[valid quarry]

what makes you think they have a crime stat?

[rugged axle]

shows red hostile. and hes obviously been trying to get people

[valid quarry]

oh they were red

[rugged axle]

yea. everytime im red...stations shoot me...but he just casually strolls down

[viral heath]

av equipment hotpatch fix in?

[rugged axle]

not yet

[valid quarry]

You expect one?

[vestal cairn]

very fast

[viral heath]

not really since i havent gotten a run in yet lol

[valid quarry]

from experience with a previous situation similar?

[rugged axle]

the last credit bug took a month for them to patch. and they only did it with 17.1

[vestal cairn]

yeah they fix these types as fast as possible
like the last one was within a couple days

[heady echo]

been waiting 30 over minutes for AV restock

Has it been patched?

[valid quarry]

you mean ship dupe?

[valid quarry]

what last one?

[heady echo]

It’s not available to purchase anymore

[rugged axle]

infinite selling of ship parts

[cinder osprey]

how much cargo space does the Taurus have?

[rugged axle]

andromeda has 96. so should be around there?

[valid quarry]

taurus is more iirc

[heady echo]

Did anyone manage to buy the cargo in the last 30mins?

[valid quarry]

Yeah i had to wait like 25 to sell tho

[cinder osprey]

nah Taurus is the cargo variant

[heady echo]

hmm, restock isn’t working for me tho

That’s weird

[cinder osprey]

ye it's working

[heady echo]

been waiting more than the usual 10-15 minutes for restock

maybe 30mins even

perhaps they’re rolling out the fix across servers

[dry vault]

174 i believe

[valid quarry]

nah word prolly just spreading like wild fire and you're competing with others more so now

[heady echo]

usually you should be able to buy immediately when it restocks

[valid quarry]

my past 2 times buying it i had a wait a few

[heady echo]

Yeah but nothing as long as 30minutes

I had to wait to sell earlier today as well

[proud jasper]

so the hull A is coming next update?

[cinder osprey]

are you using trade tools?

[proud jasper]

or is it already in?

[cinder osprey]

It's been in pretty sure

[valid quarry]

never heard of it tbh

[proud jasper]

mhm

[scarlet rover]

It came out in 3.17

[proud jasper]

hmm

can I buy it ingame?

[scarlet rover]

that I'm not sure. for pledge, yes

[valid quarry]

were you able to buy it?

[acoustic tulip]

anyone know why I cannot sell my cargo?

[tender helm]

what are good cargo runs rn?

[austere cobalt]

well you could do the glitched one

it 2xs ur money

[tender helm]

that still working?

[cinder osprey]

Anything specific I should do for a Freelancer MAX setup? Just using to haul cargo, the quant I mine specifically

[tender helm]

area 18 to hurston right?

[austere cobalt]

i checked the yt vid and someone commented still working 1hr ago

[austere cobalt]

area 18 audio visual supplies to orison

[serene quest]

when filling up with refined minerals, do you have to have the ship on the pad first or can you have it stored in location?

[gaunt fiber]

You have to have it stored, it won’t show up if it’s on the pad

that’s for stations, but the pad will work on mining stations (on the moons)

(for selling)

[mighty vapor]

Ok. Is this audio visual supplies run a bug? Or did they intend for it to be like this?

[marble crater]

Whole game is a bug at times

But the profit margin seems like a bug

Then again the 9 Tails med supply run last event paid huge too so not sure tbh

[tawdry falcon]

where is the trading terminal at orison?

[dense scarab]

Just paid 2 million for some cargo, it said transaction failed. Took the 2 million and gave me nothing

[marsh anchor]

3k mass at 36% quant worth it?

[viral heath]

anything above 25 is good

[rotund prairie]

my issue is orison admin isn't buying what i have even when jumping to different server regions

[valid quarry]

i just sold some

[rotund prairie]

av equipment?

[valid quarry]

yep

[rotund prairie]

i already hopped regions 3 times and every one isn't buying

[marble crater]

stock is shared server wide so hopping servers won't help

[mighty vapor]

hopping servers workers for me. sometimes i need to hop multiple times.

[feral totem]

Hopping servers worked for me when I tried buying

[marsh anchor]

what method do you guys use to refine for max profits?

[mighty vapor]

ferron exchange

[bold yew]

It is a coincidence, they are all on a timer.

[mighty vapor]

yeah def possible, i may have just gotten lucky

[bold yew]

I mean, it is literally a static timer with a refresh. The trading sites will have the quantities: https://sc-trade.tools, and they refresh like every half hour. I can't remember the exact timing.

[leaden bolt]

Anyone have any ideas on why I cant access any terminals in the refinery to buy mining heads?

[feral totem]

Its a bug. Buy your mining stuff from Tammany and Sons, Lorville

[leaden bolt]

Thank you sir

time to fly across the galaxy again lol

[rotund prairie]

have hopped servers like 6 times already and they never are buying

[mighty vapor]

Weird

Like i said, i probably got lucky

[proud jasper]

aqnybody want to make the argument that a side door on the starfarrer wouldn't be a good thing?

aka a side door to the cargo bay?

[cinder osprey]

20 if you're down bad, maybe even high teens depending on how bad

[real axle]

Under 18 if you want a court case

Reading that without context is sus lol

[serene quest]

if I purchase AV supplies, while my ship is still in hangar. Will the cargo not show up in my ship?

[young dust]

how long till the terminals usually reset?

[karmic socket]

Please go and upvote this previously reported issue so it can get fixed?

[karmic socket]

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-39495

[scarlet rover]

@marsh anchor this chart shows the pros and cons of different methods - bottom line, Dinyx offers the greatest yield for cheapest price but takes longest. They all give a tradeoff between time, price, and yield depending on which are most important for you

[marsh anchor]

wouldnt dinyx just be the best then?

what does time matter

if you just have a constant flow

[scarlet rover]

Assuming you've got almost 24hrs to wait for it

[marsh anchor]

why wouldnt I have 24hrs to wait

im only 28 years old

[scarlet rover]

in case you want the cash now to buy your ship etc

lol it's up to you man, idk why you're asking me

you can read the chart and make the best decision for yourself

[dense scarab]

dinyx is the best if you can be bothered to wait 24 hours to get your money

[scarlet rover]

exactly

let's say you want to get your yield during this gaming session, you might start a bunch of Ferron jobs going

or you could stagger jobs as you commission them so they will end at the same time and you get your proceeds simultaneously

up ta you

[rugged axle]

currently have 29scu of quant refining with dinyx as we speak 🙂

[scarlet rover]

consensus is Dinyx best for most efficient long term savings

[rugged axle]

do we know if they have fixed the mole yet?

[scarlet rover]

@marsh anchor one precaution - in the past, incomplete jobs sitting in refineries have been wiped during game patch updates. So people often claim all theirs before the patch comes out or pause mining/refining beforehand

[scarlet rover]

last I heard still can't extract/store ore

[rugged axle]

well poop. was hoping to get a crew together soon lol

prospector is nice though. just havent been very lucky on the halo

[marsh anchor]

I keep dying because i get bored and start drifting with my prospector

[scarlet rover]

lol not quite the most agile ship

[rugged axle]

honestly, it flies much better than i thought it would lol

[scarlet rover]

I always forget how strong the thrusters are and how bad it is at stopping

[rich jolt]

is mining bugged, keep extracting with no cargo

[scarlet rover]

MOLE is

[rugged axle]

last i saw mole and sometimes the roc

[rich jolt]

bummer

[rugged axle]

if your in a roc. manually pick up a gem and put it into the inventory

then it should work

[rich jolt]

Yea im heading to grab my roc to find gems, the mole is frustrating solo

[real axle]

Mole mining is dead

Until they fix the extraction head

[scarlet rover]

bars

keep the flow going

[solar hare]

whats mole

[marsh anchor]

big mining ship

[solar hare]

o

btw how much is it to buy drake cutty and roc and where

[deep vector]

Around 2 mil

In lorville

Iirc cutty 1.3+ and roc 0.35+

[feral totem]

New Deal, Lorville

[scarlet rover]

"Multi Operator Laser Extractor"
https://starcitizen.tools/MOLE

[solar hare]

time to grind ig

o

how much would y'all say roc makes per hr

[rugged axle]

got a friend with a prospector?

[proud jasper]

aren't you disallowed from using the storage on another person's ship?

[scarlet rover]

Security may also potentially flag you as driving a stolen ship

[rugged axle]

prospector flies ahead and cracks everything. while roc picks them up

[solar hare]

no im alone lol

[rugged axle]

much faster than cracking/picking with roc alone

if i wasnt about to hit the bed, i would help. doing it that way you can get like 250k for 30-45 minutes

[solar hare]

oh im not able to play rn anyway

[silk ridge]

Pulled roughly 150scu of quantanium out of the halo today. I love it there. 😄

The last run my game crashed during QT back to the refiners. ... It's kinda intense if you spawn outside your ship and you have to impount on the last "I'm about to blow up"-alarm.

[solar hare]

i once spawned in my ships walls after crashing

apparently when ur partially clipping the ceiling u can walk on air

or maybe ur head thats clipping ceiling is doing the walking idk

[silk ridge]

I spawned half inside, half outside. ... Well... better than spawning in the station, knowing that your ship is lost. XD

[solar hare]

lol

btw what happens if u jump out of a ship in quantum

[silk ridge]

Doesn't matter much in the long run... but loosing 32scu of Quant still hurts when it happens. XD

your ship moves to the spot where it's supposed to leave Quantum. ... And you better have Friends to scoop you up ... otherwise you'll most likely suffocate

[solar hare]

btw why does mining power indicator update at like 2fps

[sage arch]

Have a mole with quantanium in it and it does not show up in the refinery terminal. Any fixes?

[rugged axle]

dont use the mole

because the quant is no longer in it

[sage arch]

wdym?

[rugged axle]

mole is broken

[silk ridge]

Sure it has Quant in it? XD ... The Mole can't scoop anything atm. They messed the ship up with the last patch.

[rugged axle]

doesnt actually extract anything/hold it

[sage arch]

welp thats nice

[silk ridge]

The Mole is only usable to crack Rocks atm. ... to extract anything you need a friend with a Prospector. 😦

[sage arch]

how does that happen i wonder, one patch its working another its not

:/

[rugged axle]

or 3 friends with prospectors...lol

[silk ridge]

2 factors:

1. it got rushed for Invictus
2. Not enough players play PTU ... Obviously nobody went mining with a mole in PTU ... otherwise this bug would have been at least on the know issues list.

It affects enough people. Pretty sure it'll be fixed quickly.

[solar hare]

when was the last patch

[scarlet rover]

3.17 came out a few weeks ago

[rugged axle]

3.17.1 came out friday 🙂

[solar hare]

o they updated right as free fly dropped?

[rugged axle]

yea

[solar hare]

seems abit risky lol

[rugged axle]

it broke so much stuff for new people too lol

[solar hare]

yea if ur gonna get a wave of new players it might be a good idea to use old players as guniea pigs maybe for a few days xd

[scarlet rover]

this was one of the fastest x.1 drops I've seen with this amount of content - I think they had to break their plan for 3.17 into two waves

[rugged axle]

the ship claim bug killed it for alot of potential new players. they only had the free pisces. then couldnt claim it. left alot of stranded at ports

[scarlet rover]

they also got WAY more users for this free fly than IAE 2951 or Invictus 2951, so they've been scrambling to keep up with server load and player demand

silver lining is they're getting some good stress testing lol

@rugged axle true, but it looks to have been addressed now so I hope a few have stuck around

plus many places have a long weekend this weekend, so I anticipate more will log on during that

[rugged axle]

addressed is used very loosely there 🙂

i still have 10 copies of my gladius.

[scarlet rover]

well sure that's another issue, but I haven't had an error retrieving ships at ASOP since the hotfix

[rugged axle]

when was the hot fix? i had it yesterday. had to jump to eu to claim it.which gave me my 10th copy lol

[solar hare]

i did a char reset cuz of that lmao

[scarlet rover]

https://status.robertsspaceindustries.com/
they've been pushing them regularly since Sunday, my friends and I haven't had retrieval issues since the Sunday hotfix but that might be anecdotal

I have had trouble with some rented ships but had that same issue during the last IAE - haven't had it affect pledge ships since then

[rugged axle]

my biggest issue right now is the quantum bug

[scarlet rover]

but that goes back to your previous point of a poor experience for new players if they can't play with free rented ships

[deep vector]

?

[scarlet rover]

what's the quantum bug??

[rugged axle]

ah, yall have been lucky

[deep vector]

Money steal?

[rugged axle]

no no, quantum travel

[deep vector]

Lol

Shouldn’t be any

Except server lag

[rugged axle]

you set up a point, hit quantum....it takes you to no where

[scarlet rover]

yes we know what quantum is, I haven't seen any quantum bug on the issue council

[rugged axle]

lost 3-4 bounties from it

[scarlet rover]

you got a council link? anyone else replicating that?

[rugged axle]

i know my friend had it happen to him

[scarlet rover]

so nowhere as in, you enter a void? or you just don't move?

[rugged axle]

and my other friend was in my hurricane turret. from his POV. we were just sitting still not going anywhere

my POV was non stop quantum. f2 showed us going the opposite way as our set point

from the drivers POV, its a never ending jump, until you log out.

cant cancel it or anything

because the game doesnt think your actually jumpinh

[scarlet rover]

did you get an error? I'm seeing some reports of an "error 30009"

[native badge]

should i change the default ROC mining laser?

[rugged axle]

no errors. just forced to log out. then claim your ship{hence why i have 10 copies of the gladius lol}. was hard grinding bounties

[solar hare]

even if u cut ship power?

[scarlet rover]

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues?openedOn=last7d&releases=80fcb6ba-05f2-4555-bcbb-e240f920db82&search=quantum&sort=contribution

[rugged axle]

yep, tried it. tried killing qt, killing normal engines. just keeps going on your screen

[scarlet rover]

I haven't seen any reports of a similar issue on the IC for this patch within the last week. You should make one if you've had this happen more than once

[marsh anchor]

can a roc help me crack a rcok i cant by myself in a prospector ?

[rugged axle]

yea, ill try and get some screen shots if it happens again

depends how close you are vantu. a 2nd prospector would obviously be better

could always try the mining gadgets for extra help

[cinder osprey]

is Dinyx a new one?

[tawny pecan]

Honestly, IWL is a tough time to be mining due to all the bugs and activity right now.

[solar hare]

is the pickup laser thing on roc more responsive outside of IWL

[cinder osprey]

you'd just have to test that, I think the rocks in general are a bit annoying to pick up but I haven't done it during ILW

But this event is causing tons and tons of bugs so I wouldn't be surprised if it's at least somewhat worse

[solar hare]

i sometimes have to wait a 2-3seconds to pick up a gem in roc

[cinder osprey]

I think it's just detection issues, not a huge deal but it could be lag/desync from the servers crying because too many people

[marsh anchor]

well at least I wasted my auec in alpha on mining

now I know how mind numbingly boring it is

[proud jasper]

what is the best QT drive for the starfarrer?

[vivid sorrel]

https://www.erkul.games

[serene quest]

How long does it usually take for Orison's terminals to accept sells?

[vivid sorrel]

usually instant? But seeing the..influx of AV goods atm might need to refresh

Worst case, region hop

[serene quest]

i should be good to relog so long as I'm landed right?

[coarse cape]

anyone use spreadsheets to keep track of trade profits? deciding if i want to make one

if so may i possibly use it as a template so i can get an idea

[serene quest]

I made something pretty simple today. No frills

[vivid sorrel]

yes, if you stored your ship, it's safe

[serene quest]

thanks I'll make sure I'm stored

[vivid sorrel]

It should also store your ship automagically when you return to menu when it's landed on a pad\hangar, but SC being SC, better just store manually.

[serene quest]

troofs

[serene quest]

using this for the AV supplies rn

[coarse cape]

thanks

[vivid sorrel]

More like just double investment 😛

Unless crash\dc\ganked, heh

[viral heath]

no need if you double your money each time lol

[coarse cape]

true

[viral heath]

store manually... they dont really auto store anymore

[serene quest]

yeah not really necessary but I don't blow my whole load lol

[viral heath]

build it up until you have a full load

and then blast away

or look for some investors.

you need help?

i can provide some capital for 10% interest

lol

[serene quest]

would be nice if I could get orison to actually buy lol

[viral heath]

per run until you return the principal

lol

[serene quest]

you know I hadn't thought of that as an actual way to earn some passive income

loan sharking lol

[viral heath]

what loan sharking

its coop funding

lol

[serene quest]

lol

[viral heath]

its whats banks do anyway

[static cosmos]

For the love of god who started the roumor that trade is regional again?

[hollow sedge]

how often does the server tick and let me sell again

[viral heath]

trade isnt regional?

[static cosmos]

Global

[marble crater]

yeah stock is shared globally so region hopping doesn't help

[viral heath]

so laranite we have until server refresh and its dog eat dog?

[vivid sorrel]

huh, i tought it was regional?

[static cosmos]

No someones been spreading that around recently appearntly since 3.15 which is bogus

[vivid sorrel]

Did it use to be regional, and they changed it, or has it always been global?

[static cosmos]

3.10-ish it changed to regional, 3.12 global

[solar hare]

does this mean a commoditys price is same everywhere?

[static cosmos]

Yea they dont really flux that much outside of the Journal ones, and those are global

[solar hare]

so whats the point of cargo running then

[vivid sorrel]

Point is profitsssS?

[static cosmos]

You can still do it in some places

but no where near the "profits" people normally talk about outside of stuff like the AV thing going on atm

but you see how that spreads.

someone posts it online and it turns to shite lol

[solar hare]

should i do av? xd

[static cosmos]

If you wanna wait 10-15m a sell sure

if not longer that is

[vivid sorrel]

You basically double your money.

[static cosmos]

IF you can actuall sell it

[solar hare]

like in transaction processing?

[static cosmos]

No as in waiting to be able to actually sell the items

[vivid sorrel]

I've done it twice today with no issue, but i'm poor so only sold like 10-20 SCU. Game owes me alot from ROC crashes losing my hadanite, so i have zero issues with this myself. Though i can see this creating the feeling that money has no value, and your hard grind for x time is worthless

[solar hare]

r there like queues as the terminal?

[static cosmos]

some places ya

some servers*

[vivid sorrel]

I'm starting to see alot more people in Area 18 in white suits atm...heh

[deep vector]

Best shops, best fps in general

Lol

Not orison

Lyria close

[feral totem]

I’d say no. Because of the big convention that is Invictus, they’re paying a premium for AV equipment!

[vivid sorrel]

Most likely a bug. I mean they are kinda dumping on the time and efforts players have with earning spacebucks, and i can't imagine that being what they want so....

[gentle ruin]

is the audio visual equipment bug fixed yet ?

[robust osprey]

nah

[robust osprey]

if its a bug they are reacting to it reallllllllllll slow

[gentle ruin]

most likely not a bug but just a wrong value for cargo someone put in by mistake

[pale verge]

probably not a bug. It works for construction materials too. at the same place

[frigid sundial]

Holdup, I didn't run cargo in a while, what are construction mats and av?

[robust osprey]

right now if you buy at area 18

and sell are orison

you double your money

and it costs 17mil to fil a c2

so you sell for 35 mil

[vivid sorrel]

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-39387

This basically

[frigid sundial]

Well now I know how to spend my day

Time to add a zero to my 140k

[solar hare]

just don't spend ALL ur money on buying cargo

unless u wanna join the gang of ppl who crashed and lost cargo and had 10 credits left

[deep vector]

Lol

[robust osprey]

haha i have had to bail out 3 friends tonight for that

[solar hare]

lmao

[frigid sundial]

That's the reason I only have 140k in the first place 😂

[valid quarry]

I hear there was a hot fix last night, I take it they fixed the trade prices?

[livid basin]

Im curious about something...
Did anyone use to do that specific route before the bug was discovered?

[gentle ruin]

nope

[blazing cedar]

Is hauling AV equipment and fireworks to Orison worth?

[static cosmos]

if you get lucky and can actually sell the AV equipment ya

[finite hinge]

I'm new to cargo, I followed a trade route suggestion on sctt - Says to sell 500 slam at Beautiful Glen but it won't buy any?? I'm at the no questions asked terminal

[static cosmos]

no space for them to buy

[finite hinge]

Damn, does it refresh often?

[static cosmos]

lol the refresh time is on that site but you gotta remember theres a couple thousand people probably doing it at the same time

[finite hinge]

Yeah it doesn't show a time or anything, do I just stand at the terminal or log out or something

[charred night]

Hi guys, what does this mean?

[vivid sorrel]

It means station is full. Gotta wait a couple minutes until the stock depletes

or is that buy?

[charred night]

buy

[vivid sorrel]

Then other way around

[charred night]

fair enough, thank you 🙂

[thick sage]

isn't Construction materials the same thing as AV?

they all should have double price

[hoary junco]

anybody able to sell the audio things in orison yet or is it buged for pretty much everybody?

[static cosmos]

Not being able to sell it isnt bugged, its not sellable cause youve got thousands of people doing it at the same time

[blazing cedar]

Meanwhile nobody is selling laranite anymore nyehehehehe

[vivid sorrel]

hehe 😄

Schneaky!

[slender dirge]

ima sit above a18 or orison shooting down c2's in a tali

[deft dome]

someone bounced a rocket off me while heading to Orison. the C2 is a fun beast. it just shrugged it off nevr looking back 😄

But yes, I dont believe this is a bug at all. people referenced it happening at a previous event too.

[vivid sorrel]

Well it got 2 S3 shields so it should 😄

[deft dome]

lol yeah upgraded too. for a minute there I thought "Whelp, here it goes. 17Million lost" but nope.

[slender dirge]

Is it still working? I just sold and only got like 300k

nvm

[mortal field]

Is it true that the construction mats work like the AV equipments ?

[deft dome]

Yeah everything is double.

You just get a bigger bang for your buck with av

[mortal field]

Oh ok but if your bank account is smaller then u should go for the Construction mats bc theyre always available

[deft dome]

yeah, they do run out too, but it seemed there was always one or the other availabe.

[mortal field]

Havent seen them out of stock yet but ur probably right
