Galaxy Gang

[final tapir]

Definitely

Eventually

[clear vault]

just like the Tali

[mild finch]

Got da galaxy

Gonna be a fine addition to my collection

[final tapir]

My Galaxy chain is finished 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[wraith sapphire]

You get to sit and wait like the rest of us now. 🤪

[final tapir]

I bought another Galaxy ccu

Just to be safe

Can’t have bug citizen eat it

[wraith sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-my-man-hd-my-man4k-gif-23532578

[fickle dagger]

you needn’t worry

the only thing they’ll never let break for more than an hour is the pledge store

it is most important

[final tapir]

Do we think galaxy modules will cop a price increase on release?

I always just assumed it would only be the ship itself

[reef hamlet]

dont think so

[final tapir]

Eh I’ll shove them all into my buyback this iae anyway

[dire dirge]

out of interest, do any galaxy waiters have a perseus in their asop? or have I been blessed by the bug gods?

[final tapir]

I have one

[final tapir]

Are you a subscriber?

[dire dirge]

ah yeah for this month

[final tapir]

that is why

[dire dirge]

oooh

there was me hoping it was a secret galaxy loaner 😄

[mild finch]

i was about to say i have a percy too lol

but that's a pledge one

[final tapir]

I applied my ccu chain after a year of careful curation

Perseus for £350

Very happy

And galaxy chain is done but not applied

£230

[mild finch]

nice

i got my percy for around 260 USD

galaxy is a full price store credit one

[final tapir]

wow

Lucky

I'm currently in the process of getting all the galaxy modules into buyback so I am protected from price increases

[mild finch]

already got medbay one

probably gonna grab the cargo one too

[final tapir]

Cargo one is currently sitting in pledge, as soon as the 24 hour window closes I will melt and get medbay then refinery

[mild finch]

nice

[final tapir]

Then I can get my alpha wolf

I loved my wolf so much

and alpha wolf looks cooler imo

Is there Ironclad Initiates or something anywhere

[dire dirge]

it's a bit weak they've announced the modules but not what happens if you don't have any

but also how the cargo one costs so much for basically an empty room

[final tapir]

You mean for IC(A)?

Oh you mean galaxy

They did announce

[dire dirge]

sorry yeah 😄

oh?

[final tapir]

They said it would just be a sealed empty room with nothing in

[dire dirge]

🙄

[final tapir]

And cargo module has a point because of having an actual grid, cranes which count towards total cargo capacity and where you can store cargo, tractor beams, etc

[dire dirge]

yet somehow costing as much as an entire nomad, OX or hull A :/

[final tapir]

500+ scu

Multiple times the size of an entire nomad, OX, or hull A

[dire dirge]

because space is hard to build in game? 😄

idk I'm just a lil smadgi

[rain trail]

WE ARE

SO

BACK

OMG

GALAXY NEXT YEAR

[wraith sapphire]

wait did I miss something? Was that in the talking ships I haven't watched yet? 😄

[junior crater]

yeah Galaxy at IAE confirmed

[wraith sapphire]

omg finally.

[gloomy jungle]

Galaxy 🥹

Soon

[final tapir]

You forget it’s cig

So just add a year

Then add another

Then it will release

[reef hamlet]

12 months

[final tapir]

But it won’t be done

[rain trail]

jokes on you they've been pretty on schedule for the last 2 years

[final tapir]

So it will release with no modules or some be like that

[rain trail]

eh it will release with med + cargo my bet

[reef hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/kingpin-spiderverse-click-wait-patience-gif-15649873037655585839

[final tapir]

Please refinery pleeeaaassee

I spent the last 3 days putting all the modules into my buyback

[rain trail]

i only have cargo + med in buybacks

really don't care about refinery

[reef hamlet]

imma hope they release ingame at the same time

[junior crater]

While Galaxy has looks its actualy poor value if you look at Galaxy+cargo module vs Ironclad

[rain trail]

dont care

rule of cool is always more important

[coral lotus]

I HEARD THE NEWS!! YAAAAAAY

[clear vault]

heh, a Galaxy module that is a Perseus belly turret would be interesting

[reef hamlet]

how do you guys think the tractor rails will work?

[clever comet]

They won't

[reef hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/chomp-bite-arm-gif-7083692912057941766

[tacit glade]

Well ironclad is likely coming invictus and it has the rails, so hopefully they should be in the galaxy at iae?

[final tapir]

they already confirmed galaxy at iae bro

[final tapir]

they will

it is rather important

When they calculated the scu storage they included stuff carried on the rails

[remote herald]

For all size containers or just the 32 SCU ones?

[reef hamlet]

???

[final tapir]

2026 galaxy iae

[reef hamlet]

yes

he said that

he said that the rails have to be IN the galaxy when it releases at IAE

[clear vault]

would be cool if each tractor had its own workstation so you could have 4 people zrping crates at hte same time

or 2 workstations that use 2 each for double carry weight

[reef hamlet]

i mean
its 2 rails

[clear vault]

with 4 heads

[reef hamlet]

that are connected

[clear vault]

definately 2 players working together to lift one crate /s

[coral lotus]

Which module are you guys going to be using at release?

[final tapir]

Cargo or refinery

[clear vault]

until arrastra, or basebuilding, itll be the best player refinery

[coral lotus]

Cargo would be my choice

[coral lotus]

Don't think basebuildung will be out next year. Doubt it

[clear vault]

Exactly. Which is why a galaxy refinery will be the largest player refinery

[rain trail]

what? no

you can clearly see there's 4 plates on each side

2 tall that makes 16 x 32 scu total

512

the rails are just tractor beams

I assume we'll just get a better tractor beam layout anyway

and scrap the rails on top

[final tapir]

we will see when released

I have it ready in buyback anyway

[fickle dagger]

i think the rails are cool it’ll probs be a tractor beam that slides around the rails

instead of a fixed poo one like the polaris that has awful angles

[rain trail]

what i think would be better is a bunch of TB's and one operator seat that can switch between them seamlessly

[fickle dagger]

how much power would that use

the same cuz you can only use one at a time?

or 5 pips because there’s 5 active but not in use

i think the rails is cool and looks better

can slide around while moving the box too

whereas if you switch beams you have to drop it

explosive cargo go boom

[rain trail]

why would you care

about power usage of TBs

[rain trail]

just put it down bruh

[nova wadi]

Are the galaxy hangar metrics larger than the carrack?

[reef hamlet]

About the same

The galaxy hangar is wider and higher

But length should be the same

[coral lotus]

What do u guys think the galaxy is missing but won't make it overpowered?

[reef hamlet]

a docking collar

since it only has an airlock

[remote herald]

Hangar tractor beam function

[reef hamlet]

to drag in floating boxes?

[remote herald]

Boxes, ships, drones, people, Ore pods, etc.

Anything that would be dimensional clearance blocked by the cargo elevator

[rain trail]

things that would be blocked by the cargo elevator dimensions aren't able to be picked up by ship-based tractor beams

first thing that comes to mind is nova tank and that's not

only srv can carry it afaik

[remote herald]

The hangar bay entrance height is the same height as the landing feet clearance?

[rain trail]

no

[rain trail]

ship based tractor beams are not strong enough to carry the things that wouldn't fit through the elevator anyway

[remote herald]

Dimensions do not equal weight....

[rain trail]

well the things that wouldn't fit through the elevator are heavy enough that ship-borne tractor beams cannot handle them

if we get a tank at some point that is as big as the nova but as light as the nursa call me up then

so far there is only one ship that has a tractor beam big enough to carry things that wouldn't fit into the galaxy elevator and that's the SRV

[remote herald]

Currently or forever?

This was a decent question about the Galaxy, my answer was a wish listed feature

[rain trail]

^

dimensions do not equal weight you are correct but when it comes to things like vehicles and boxes full of materials, usually the bigger it gets the heavier it gets

so my point mostly stands anyway

[remote herald]

There will be more objects than boxes and vehicles.

That is what etc. meant in my message above:
#1130578256526061568 message

[rain trail]

and again when things get bigger they usually get heavier

so except for a few edge cases my point will still stand

and for anything else just get an mpuv tractor

[remote herald]

These are the future items I wish to move around with a Galaxy

[rain trail]

you will either be able to move those by the maxlift or need an SRV

for the most part

[junior crater]

You gonna need basebuilding module for those

[remote herald]

To haul?

I think a the cargo module would suffice if you could load through the hangar entrance with a proper ship tractor beam.

[junior crater]

Your pic shows structures and those can be build but not transported

[remote herald]

These are the future items I wish to move around with a Galaxy

[junior crater]

You could disassemble them and build them somewere else with basebuilding module.

[remote herald]

OK, I was giving an example above about objects with large dimensions that may not necessarily be LARGE = Heavy

Feel free to read what the context was of this conversation starting here:
#1130578256526061568 message

[reef hamlet]

tbh, some modules i would love would be: repair module with repair drones, bounty module with evidence lockers like ironclad

definetely manufacturing module but tbh, that could be a planned module

[unreal mason]

Or like a hanger extension

[clever comet]

reviving a dead clubhouse i see

[lavish crystal]

i do like the idea of a bounty / combat module, but it would defo be more on the support side since thats where the galaxy sits

[reef hamlet]

I dont thing the galaxy bounty modules role is active combat but rather prisoner transport

[unreal mason]
