    Spirit C1 and Cutlass Red are both happily settling into their new home, thank you.

    I ended up not buying the RSI Galaxy

    I'd love to see an option to "transport" a ship from one location to another, rather than "claim" a new version as occurs now, allowing the ship contents to be retained at the new location (and, in theory, allowing larger ships to be called in at outposts) - I was thinking that an ability to...

    Drake Volture new model

    I haven't used that one - I used to dabble in l-draw and ml-cad (from memory), but it has been many years since I last did any "builds" with those systems. Then again, it's been quite a few years since I last had a chance to do any real building with Lego, other than the annual...

    Drake Volture new model

    You are optimisitc there... Based on my experience with Lego, it would be at least twice the release-to-flyable price of the ship.

    No more SC subscriber flairs or Jump Point ?

    I've resigned myself to not using any of the subscriber items (although, given I tend to avoid combat related activities I have a lower, but non-zero, chance to lose items) to ensure I have them if\when I want to use them. I believe the Character reset is possibly being altered to use a...

    No more SC subscriber flairs or Jump Point ?

    Interestingly, after putting together my previous post, I went and looked at the "This week" posts from CIG for the "subscriber items" week of November and December. Neither listed anything under the "THE WEEKLY COMMUNITY CONTENT SCHEDULE" heading, however under the "Now, let's see what's going...

    No more SC subscriber flairs or Jump Point ?

    Here's last month's announcement (November 1) - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18936-November-2022-Subscriber-Promotions The important bit being: I can confirm i received the armor on the 1st (when the post was made). As to the "2 for 1"... I haven't tried it, but...

    I ended up not buying the RSI Galaxy

    I picked up one with credit and then promptly shoved it into the buyback queue, so I can test the ship once it (eventually) releases and I have (hopefully) a better idea of all the modules planned, and how they work, along with more information about\operating NPC crew\blades. I've also added a...

    No more SC subscriber flairs or Jump Point ?

    They normally announce the month's subscriber flair items during the first deployment of it (first Tuesday of the month), which allows people a week to sign up before the second release on the following tuesday, so people should still be able to find out in advance. I signed up last year with...

    Drake Cutter from Pipeline Discord

    For those interested (particularly once we get a repair tool), the Cutter even appears to come with easy roof access like it's big brother, the Corsair has - Something that doesn't seem likely to have been explored by many owners of the ship:

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    And so, by a winding path, we return to the question that started this: How much do people consider an additional NPC slot to be worth (and how many of these do people plan to have)? Do people consider the added $2 (or $5 if the skin is unimportant to you) for an extra NPC with the discount...

    IAE Best of Show

    Minor update for those who understand "all" to mean all... https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/anvil-c8r-pisces-best-in-show-skin/5554210 Convenienttly timed for after the stated cut-off to get the skins as their own items, and several days after the C8R was...

    IAE 2952 WB CCU watch

    I now have a molten pool of Pioneer and Constellation Phoenix, along with sundry other ships that I may wish to try out randomly through the use of quarterly buy-back tokens. My CCU pool has also reached Concierge level on its own - Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    For short periods of time, it would be reasonable to expect fully player-crewed ships, but what about the problems that can come from longer-term missions\voyages. Doing a short term run (one play session), you can all leave from a location, then return there at the end of it to allow the crew...

    CCU predictions

    The C2 can also land planetside while loaded, which the Hull C won't be able to do (Implementing the Hull C will require either having items that can be traded between rest stops\station, or missions to transport cargo between them, so I don't expect it in 3.18). The Hull C's "advantage" over...

    IAE 2952 WB CCU watch

    If it helps, I've already added them to a table at the top of the second post in this thread, sorted by ship cost.

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    I'm still not convinced that the multi-crew ships (particularly the larger ones) are going to be viable with more than 1 or 2 players with the rest of the crew being NPC's. When the limit on respawns kicks in, heading out on someone else's multi-crew ship is going to require either a short...

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    While looking at my fleet, and considering future additions, I'm starting to wonder how much an NPC slot is worth when deciding what to keep and what to melt - For reference, I tend to play solo, so I'll likely use them to help crew my larger ship(s) both due to playing solo, as well as the...

    CCU predictions

    I'd start with the following ships, which are listed as under developement and likely to be released in the next 12 months (or see price rises at least): Vulture (3.18) Hull C (Possibly 3.18, likely by Pyro) SRV (3.19/4.0?) Spirit family San'tok.yai BMM For some of them (Vulture in...

    RSI Galaxy Screenshots and speculation

    It may be a possible substitute for a Caterpillar, though, if you have one... The Galaxy's cargo module appears designed to hold 16 of the 32 SCU containers, which the Caterpillar cannot carry, and which the RAFT and Hull C carry externally where they can be easily shot off\"removed". You could...
