3.5.1 Ship Customization thoughts

[Michael]

As someone who bought the meta components from Voyager Direct in the past, I can't warn about that strongly enough, the stats in Alpha will change.

Here is a video lovingly hand crafted for those who have not had the opportunity to try out the customization system yet:

CI needs some better blue/green, cyan packages. The metallic blue is very nice, but a wider range would create more sales.

Ok, next question, are the equipment packages you pay extra for covered by the insurance? I'm probably going to need the assist so maybe getting the package with the gimbal mounts might be a good idea if they are covered by the insurance and I'd probably pick them up in game anyway.

What happens to the aspects of the ship you customized when your ship is destroyed or reclaimed?


In these scenarios, manufacturer customizations are covered under the base insurance, meaning when you respawn your ship, it will already have your customizations/loadout equipped. This means no more having to re-equip your customizations after your ship has been destroyed/reclaimed. We’re very happy to share that with the rollout of 3.5.1, this is not only exclusive to using the customization tool – changes you make to your ship in-game will persist after being reclaimed. Longer term, your insurance deductible will be based on the equipment/attachments on your ship.

So if I pop a scatter-gun on the nose of my 350r, it'll stay? No more losing it after insurance claim?

Thats exactly how i do understand that. Also if you pay 20$ for a weapon pack, they should stay right?

I'm thinking that, I'll have to test this out later on :)

Yes, the cash/credit customization will inherit the insurance of the ship and be covered by the SHI/LTI instead of upgrade insurance.

Personally, I like the XC ballistic weapons package the best but just like earlier comments have stated, all this could and most likely will change.
I also need to test the persistence of components on ships after reclaiming them. This would be a game changer if it has been successfully implemented.
My ride...

That's good. For my 300i I think it was only 2 dollars more for the equipment pack with the gimbal mounts. Regardless of what stats may change in the package I'm probably going to upgrade equipment in game at some point anyway, but I'll probably be using gimbal assist for the long term so having it be covered by the insurance is nice

You can buy a Siren QT engine in ArcCorp but its not listed as default loadout.
