    Choosing a starting and a "home" location in 3.18

    I've never been there myself (I might go have a look tonight), but this might help:

    Choosing a starting and a "home" location in 3.18

    Once we get another UEE system or 2 into the game [1], it would be nice to see the Pioneer (and smaller "relatives") be brought online, so that people could start claiming land and building their own settlements\homes, which would add more POI for people to visit and possibly trade at, making...

    Choosing a starting and a "home" location in 3.18

    The suggestions seem reasonable, although I'm not a fan of the "Quantanium is the only thing to mine in a Prospector" implication... It's the most profitable, but many like the experience of mining without the risks that Quantanium brings (having to get to a refinery quickly, having to stop for...

    Mining Changes coming in 3.19

    As an update to the previous reply, I've tracked down the MOLE's Q and A. The relevent items related to filtering\refining are: Source: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/17403-Q-A-ARGO-MOLE Reading this, it seems to sugest that the Prospector was\is still intended to...

    Mining Changes coming in 3.19

    The reason people talk about the prospector ejecting inert material was because that was one of the features it was sold with (I'm not sure about the MOLE, but I don't believe that was one of its abilities) which allows the bags to be completely filled with the useful raw resources rather than...

    In case you were wondering...

    My curiosity was more around how many fitted in the cargo bay, rather than internal storage, as there may be a need for catering in Pyro whenever it becomes accessible, but it's nice to know that there should be enough space in internal storage for catering for the crew on the voyage there.

    Mining Changes coming in 3.19

    That is the most likely change to be on the way. Some other possible changes I can think of: Sub-surface mining (mining resources below the surface, not just the rock nodes on top of the surface) being implemented for the Prospector (as was originally intended for it, I believe) The ability...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    According to Pipeline, the QED has been downgraded from a snare + dampener to being solely a dampener. So it has gone from being a competitor to the Mantis, to instead being a competitor to the Cutlass Blue as far as this functionality goes.

    PTU 3.18 Available (Wave 3 / Open PTU!)

    Ground vehicles also received this feature (load up after hostile bunker missions): Importantly, it is shared, not personal, storage - meaning anyone can add\remove items... It is also nice that the Aurora's have had their ladders removed and replaced by stairs (A change that I think the 300...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    The most recent, colour pictures on Pipeline would suggest there is no turret on the Antares (or that if there is, it is limited to the lower rear posiion only but not shown), as there are no rails for a turret to travel on and the upper turret location looks like it is the location of the EMP...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    That's another area where the Mantis and either the Hawk or Vanguard Sentinel have an advantage here, given all 3 ships have a "bed" option to log out in (In the hawk, you can use the "prisoner" storage area for this, I believe)... I forgot to add that to my thoughts earlier. That said, it's...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    From what I can see in the current leaks on pipeline, the Antares is likely retaining the second seat\copilot, but not the turret. If the EMP and QED can be operated by the pilot, this would likely superceded the Mantis due to the better firepower and added EMP compared to the capacity of the...

    PTU 3.18 Available (Wave 3 / Open PTU!)

    And, to go with that, the addition of internal storage for ships which lack an interior or storage compartments:

    Easy 3.18 Salvage!

    It's a shame you couldn't try that with the M50 that the spaceport guards often have their guns aimed at in the foyer. You could get some interesting shots there...

    Easy 3.18 Salvage!

    So, salvage tools aren't affected by Armistace zones, I take it :) And I'd been thinking the Distortion Vulture was the easy option for Salvage...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    I'm interested in which other ship will be granted LTI along with it in any potential bundle... At a guess we'll get a "Nest of Scorpions" bundle with the Scorpius and the Antares. It's a shame we had to get another combat ship - I had been hoping for a ground based salvage vehicle (salvage...

    So, Scorpius confirmed... Blue lightning certainly suggests EMP.

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    There is mention of both a QED Scorpius and an EMP Mantis on Pipeline, but I'm not sure where the lights and other features in that image would be located on either ship. The choice of colour in the image also makes things difficult (the lights look like they may be a white\yellow colour, but...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    View: https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/1624166533382430754 The likely ship type would seem to be either: Salvage (3.18) Racing (3.18) Something green (St Patrick's day next month, "lucky ship" remark) Or the traditional "pew pew" ship (no reason seemingly needed to release more). I...
