Well, that is certainly true. But now that the ships are going through faster it feels like CIG has started to focus more on gameplay for the ships as well. In the span of just 4 patches (though, honestly, stuff will get pushed back again) We got medical gameplay, salvage, refueling, cargo...

For me, the thing that really brought more FPS was adjusting my swap. Also my friend had a mysterious problem where his SC kept crashing to desktop, turns out the drive he had his swap on had less space left than was allocated to the swap (and swap had not reserved space for itself, leading to...

So, I remember how a few years ago the haters were making lists of how many ships have been promised and how hardly any of these have been delivered, and then using that as some sort of 'proof' that SC is a scam. Well, lot less of that now. Gee, I wonder why: Lot less ships waiting to get...

I've been using a spreadsheet for a very long time, but I did give CCU game a spin. It's pretty good, definitely great for new users. And old ones as well, though it's not quite as good for me as my spreadsheets... I mean, I'm the kinda person who likes to write in the margins everywhere...

No, there is definitely no 'maybe' about it. But where will you get the money to do the trade runs with the cat? aUEC gets definitely wiped before the game goes live. And a number of times even before that. I don't think anyone is advocating for buying a ground vehicle. They're not very good...

I think it's safe to say that those loaners will go away in time, the only thing we don't know is whether it's next month, next year (which is also next month. Ermh) or later. Yes, you can take loaners into account while planning an interim fleet for this patch or the next, but you shouldn't do...

I didn't realize that arena commander was the end goal here... As for the universe side of things, you don't get to keep your loaners, so relying on them is not a viable strategy.

Oh, I just have an excel that uses all the current ship prices as input, just got to keep it up to date. Then whenever I purchase a CCU I just put in the ship from, the ship to, and what I actually paid for it. The excel will show the from price, the to price, and how much I saved with the CCU...

Oh, here I was considering the LTI Merlin referral to be kinda like, total failsafe. You carefully design a CCU upgrade path, then you apply it, and then you will never ever accidentally in a drunken stupor go melt it. Perfect, no?

Okey, so with the ballistics getting nerfed to hell, and laser weapons sent right there after them, you might be asking "Well, what weapon should I fill my ship with?" The answer is real simple. Ballistic cannons. A Hornet with all gimballed ballistic cannon setup does 2867 sustained dps for a...

So, another sale, and this time a right bombardment of Warbond CCUs. That hurt my wallet, especially the finale encore with all the Warbond CCUs available at the same time. Particularly since Hull C got that price bump just before, and now I simply had to get Hull C -> Reclaimer Warbond CCU. For...

G'damnit CIG, that Hull C -> Reclaimer warbond CCU was exactly the thing I was hoping for. Well, there goes another $25. On an upside, I now got a $215 Reclaimer CCU chain. Could optimize the $150 to $200 section a bit more, but... Meh. Good enough. Not even gonna pick up that Khartu-Al Warbond...

I decided to go for one last hurrah and got one of those warbond redeemer CCUs. And then one post-last hurrah and got a warbond Argo Cargo. And now I don't need to spend anything, before such time as I do. To commemorate this event, here's a limping limerick My wallet has taken a beating And...

Well, crud. You don't suppose Chris would be inclined to sell me like a spare button or a small piece of star citizen themed yarn?

I'm fairly sure most of the funding comes from people who only buy one or two minor CCUs each year to gradually build a better ship or two. I doubt they'd want to stop that. In fact, it seems they're ramping it up. This year had way more Warbond CCUs than previous year, not to mention there were...

An interesting development, I was rather expecting it to happen, but I wasn't sure if it was just going to be Hull A, Hull A and Hull C, or all of them. I was hoping it was just hull A since I realized (too late as always) That I should've bought two of each CCU for Hull series. Well, one each...

I'd like to point out, that if the ship costs a billion, by the time you've merely undocked it from a port you've probably already ran up like 10 million UEC worth of debt from the operating costs. I'm not sure how much starting capital you've gotten, but that's another reason why you might want...

Hey, real quick, when do we have to buy that Argo Cargo to get bling 'n' skin? And when can we melt it? :D On another topic, you get to buy ships till the 1st, right? Just making sure I'm not making mistake when I'm melting and rebuying stuff.

As @Dirtbag_Leader said, I think you'd want to pick up a fighter. Personally, I think something like a Hornet might be just perfect, a medium fighter with decent damage output that can handle those situations where you're going solo against lighter fighters, possibly during some more beginner...

Well, the nice thing about it is, that it's just extremely snappy for a medium hauler though. Hulls will probably be moving at the speed of stop. I really think RAFT will be the king of ground-to-orbit or other extremely short range transport, like loading up a Hull C/D/E. Yes, exactly. Lmao...
