    Grinding Credits in Update v3.1.4

    Cosmic is right on the money...IF you have the ships to support it. Lots of stuff you can do, but beware the gankers. I hope that sometime we will be able to directly trade UEC with people (here, we've completed our run...and here is your cut...instead of the beacon system. Beacon...looking...

    Grinding Credits in Update v3.1.4

    That depends on what you are trading with. There is a huge difference between what you can make per run between an aurora, a Connie, and a Caterpillar. With a Connie, I can make 860 UEC on a single run (one way) with my 5k starting cash. If I haul something there to sell, that just adds to my...

    Summer 2018 Lego Technic Sets

    About the only things that compete (besides SC) are things like 40k, car collecting/modifying/racing...and Model railroading. My dad had a huge O-gauge display in his basement. He even had a few of the G gauge trains...but my mom put her foot down HARD when he suggested putting in a 1/8 scale...

    Death of a Spaceman

    Yeah, don’t see death of a spaceman happening if for one reason... People get attached to their characters. If their toons die and they need to recreate it...even if they recreate it with the same face, hairstyle, and name...it’s not the same toon TO THEM... This will mean that the game...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    The beauty of the EQ system is you can farm to buy subscription time from sellers on the market time (old EVE PLEX). Or, you can buy a subscription. Or, you could not do either and still be able to play. For example. If I play 3-4 hours a month, I might not want any subscription time. I...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    Right now the subscription is a wash. For a 12 month sub (costing 220 usd with 12th month free), we get a coupon worth up to 100 usd, plus 120 usd in subscriber flair. Add to that some REC, ship of the month, etc... The 100 usd coupon could become 100k UEC, and the REC could become discounts on...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    There won’t be a mandatory subscription. Players backed the game with C.R. saying no subs. While I can see them being able to put in an optional one, a mandatory one might just be enough to allow a ton of people to request and receive refunds. As for licensing their tech, I am not sure they...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    Subscriptions are how most games get payback on the development of AAA MMOs. Remember, CIG has already sold a lot of copies of the game. Money that won't be coming to them afterwards. They can't rely on game sales to make profits. They need something else. The easiest is a pay for perks...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    yep cosmetic stuff will earn a lot of money. It's pretty much how EQ2 survives these days. In fact, the model I proposed is pretty much the EQ/SOE/Daybreak model

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    I also think the subscriptions should be fairly low...10-15 a month with longer subscriptions giving a bigger discount. Pay for a year at a time, it’s 10/month. Month to month or a time card would be 15/month. 6 month subscriptions would be around 12-13/month. 3 month might be 14/month...

    [Video] Will Star Citizen push hard for a subscription model?

    My thought is there will be FTP and subscription based mode. Subscription will have a few benefits to it, such as a separate currency that can be used to buy things from an online or in-game store. This store will also allow you to buy that currency with cash as well. There might be other...

    Take the Bartle Test

    You are 73% Achiever What Bartle says: ♦ Achievers regard points-gathering and rising in levels as their main goal, and all is ultimately subserviant to this. Exploration is necessary only to find new sources of treasure, or improved ways of wringing points from it. Socialising is a relaxing...

    Fleet theorycrafting - flagship choice

    Under the assumption that you had the money and other support ships to give you access to the style of gameplay you wanted, which would you choose? Idris (civilian) and 890J or Javelin My thoughts...neither, but if I did choose one, the 890 and idris combo. Reasoning... The Javelin is an org...

    Concierge Sale OF the New Hercules

    Couple of things This is a direct response to the people who buy/melt LTI concepts with credit to get buybacks. Personally, I think the easiest thing would be to remove gifting of items bought back, and then allow unlimited credit repurchase from your buyback pool In other words, it’s just...

    Hercules military transport

    couple of other things you might want to take note of. The warbond package comes with the tank and a cyclone. the non-warbond does not. so, for 1300, you get the 300, 400, and 600 buck variants, plus a 95 nova, plus a cyclone (whatever that cost) and the badlands and snowblind skins. Now...
