    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I wonder how many people looked at this before voting over the past few days:

    Fleet planning and CCU questions

    These are probably stupid questions (although, given that I don't know the answers, other new players will likely be wondering about some\all of these as well), but in order to plan out my future fleet and reclaim items from buyback before potential IAE price changes, I was wondering: 1) If...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    If they are going to make travelling through the "server" area a requirement (rather than having a specific room to one side where they are stored, or placing them in the tunnel system), I'd prefer to see them lining the sides of the corridor to the cockpit along the tunnel - The layout of the...

    For the ROC miners among us

    If there is a 30k, or a client crash and the ROC is stored within a ship, the ROC's inventory is not guaranteed to be saved, while the inventory of the ship carrying it is thanks to recent 30k protections added to the game, so it's a form of insurance against these occurrences. Also, sometimes...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I'm not a fan of the MSR (having to transit "server room" between cockpit and outside of ship, long "tunnel to cockpit", and wasted space for "secret" passages among the reasons for this), but also don't really think that the RAFT should have been included this year (despite enjoying mine) as...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I figured this would likely be the case when I voted (not long after the poll opened), but voted for the 600i regardless as I don't care about the skins: The 600i would have given better options for WB CCU chains and solo play, but I can see the appeal of some of the features of the Carrack -...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Tomorrow's choice will be a difficult one for me... Whichever ship wins gets to the final 4 and so should have discount WB CCU's at IAE: Do I pick the ship I want a "last mile" CCU for, or should I pick the ship I received today to try and get a skin for it?

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    It was a clever move by CiG to put the Pisces up against the Mule, particularly if they were trying to prevent a repeat of last year's "meme" choice: Removing the PTV from the possible ships so close to the voting minimized the time available to "redirect" those focussed on it to vote for the...

    Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)

    These new suits could almost become a substitute for both the Pembroke (-75 to +225) and the Novikov (-225 to +75) suits, as they have a temperature range from -150 to +175 degrees. While not as good as either individually, they could make a reasonable "single suit" option to avoid having to...

    Using Voice Attack to transfer inventory

    It seems that my post about this has gone into hiding - https://testsquadron.com/threads/auto-looting-and-auto-selling.19827/ I've been using it for a couple of months, and it does make things easier - I just wish it wouldn't occasionally change the multi-tool being carried, or the helmet being...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Interesting that the difference stayed at around the 3k mark throughout the voting period (The first "scores" I saw were 10k Vs 7K). I'm sure nothing untoward was going on there...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    It's a shame how this one is working out - I had a few CCU chains that would have benefitted from gladius WB CCU's... Not that this was critical to them, but it would have been a nice bonus. Being the easiest ship in the pool to get (cheapest to buy or "free" with 10 referrals), having it win...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    There's certainly some nice ships in there, although quite a few there which I have no interest in (most of Pool A, for example). I can understand the MULE getting a few votes (possible in the belief\expectation that if it wins it will be a "referral" reward with LTI), but I'd rather see the...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    A minor detail: Isn't it the Freelancer MAX, not the base Freelancer (or generic Freelancer family of ships) which is in the contest (In the same way a specific Vanguard, 600i, Cutlass, Carrack, and Avenger are listed, not that "family" of ships)? On a side note, I wonder if the colours of the...

    On the topic of black and gold skins, this custom TEST Eclipse needs to be a thing!

    Strange: I would have expected a Test Squadron Aurora skin before one for any other ship...

    For the ROC miners among us

    If you don't mind the travel time, jumping to an OM once you collect your ROC\arrive with ROC, then heading towards the planet, aiming at the sunlit areas works well for a semi-random mining location - scanner set to 179, and fly towards the sun when at suitable scanning altitude to avoid...

    For the ROC miners among us

    That's what I've been doing with my ROC - grab it from a mining outpost (if not already loaded in a ship) and fly out to mine, then return to the closest mining outpost to sell what I had mined and to repair the ROC (or "claim" a replacement if it "died") before heading out again. For ships to...

    X-Mass at the ship terminals

    Not a problem - I used some surplus credits a few months back (before subscriber items were added to loot tables) to acquire the 6 different multi-tools in order to see what they looked like. I decided that the Mirage wasn't worthwhile, as it looks almost the same in inventory as a standard one...
