Hey I like this idea! Gives something for the Reclaimer to do!

Well he's not addressing that issue. What he's saying is what doesn't and what does affect the performance in general, not why one computer would be slow and one fast. That has more to do with the system itself. CIG can't control the number of things that can impact your system's performance...

I made only the assumption of what I said. Henry is selling without offering a discount. Jack is offering a discount. And that's not the definition of a market price. That topic is far more involved than what we're discussing here, but at no time does it involve selling as much as you want...

GIMP has a way to do it too, and it's free, but gifmaker is much easier to use!

Am I allowed to wack our Glorious Leader over the head with a wet noodle? What if Jack is able to sell to Abe, Bob, Charlie, Denise, [skip a few], Yasmine, and Zach because he offers a discount, and Henry sells next to nothing, because he doesn't offer a discount? Problem with the asteroid...

You only lose money by selling at a loss, not just by selling below market value. It works like this. Cost of mining (Fuel, amortized cost of the ship, transportation costs, everyone's time) for arguments sake lets say it totals 750 UEC. this is an arbitrary number, an estimate - because if...

I have participated in virtual micro-economies for over 10 years, and made several discount decisions for groups. The idea is you're a member of a community, and you're giving back in the way you can. Nobody suggests you do so under duress. These virtual economies are free markets at their...

Ah that's the double-sided quantum mastic tape. They put it on the landing pads so that ships with more mass don't slide off the pad and crash into the rest of the station, and also so that ships like the Freelancer wouldn't hop around so much with the engines off and no power. The one i...

Healthier wallet.

Exactly. It wasn't a criticism, it was agreement. You asked why would you pay more, my answer was "It is a good question" - as in why would you pay more for something when you can just go to Harbor Freight or Walmart.

For my part, I wish "soon" was going to be sooner, but it is what it is.

Good question @Printimus. Nobody (or close to nobody) shops at Harbor Freight or Walmart because their friends and family own them.

I like that people are thinking about these mechanics. Griefers and campers aside, I think piracy in general is going to be a very risky and difficult part of the game, and encounters with legitimate and successful pirates are going to be quite rare. It's going to require a highly...

Personally I would give TESTies a healthy discount, depending on the cost of making whatever it is we could make. Right now SC is concentrating on more important aspects of the game. But this touches on something really interesting, how much can we build ourselves, and from what raw materials...

Right now, the interdiction from Quantum Drive is NPC, they're pretty easy to get away from, or avoid. As far as getting an escort, get in Discord, make friends. That's got to be the best bet. I've already experienced help from fellow TESTies, and given help when I could, we're great if I do...

Yes a few of us have experienced it, including every 10,000 Km (that was fixed though, it's over 80 interdiction's to Levski if not.) You got pretty much the right tactic. In a caterpillar, it'll take them a while to do much damage so you have a pretty good chance to escape. Thing is if you...

Welcome to TEST @Starburger!

You sound a lot like me in Fry's. It's a dangerous place to be, at least for my wallet. Stuff just flys off the shelf. I get distracted. I probably need a 12 step program. The funny part is I remember when Fry's was a grocery chain I used to loved to hate, now it's the big box electronics...
