    X-Mass at the ship terminals

    I thought everyone knew about the subscriber multi-tools being in the loot table. Last patch, they seemed to be in some outposts and the caterpillar wrecks, but they are very common at the new abandoned outposts. I've been tempted to collect them and use one colour for mining attachments, and...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    If looting outposts, large white crates have either armor or dolovine\misc items. The rare items are in the small square boxes along with misc items (no dolivine in these, based on tonight's "research"). I think you can clear on average around 50-60k of dolivine at each outpost if you loot every...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    I've been making regular visits to one of the abandoned outposts. It's random (maybe 1 visit in 4) whether NPC's are present or not, but the Nomad's guns tend to take them out reasonable quickly when they are present (and the tray on the back is useful for dumping bodies to loot direct to ship...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    I don't know how much of the problem is "loss aversion", and how much is something else... My thought is that the problem most people have was less the "loss aversion", and more a feeling of being punished for someone else's mistake - CiG handed out a "gift" to players, allowed everyone to be...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    Well, I've certainly been "punished" for buying ships with my windfall since they did a reset: Took pledge cutlass black out, loaded with loot from several mining outposts while doing an 8k redwind 3 box mission. Bought laranite at final stop (could afford around 6 SCU worth). Couldn't access...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    The warning was appreciated - I hadn't planned to log on so early today, but saw the post and decided I'd better spend up - I just hated having to work out what to spend it on. Importantly, I had already purchased a ROC when the reset hit (Was buying armor when it snuck up on me, and suddenly I...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    I logged off last night (3.17.1) with 5.7 million aUEC (1.9 from "audio visual equipment", 1 million from a giveaway on a stream - I'm a more relaxed player) and logged in to 3.17.2 with over 11 million. Now to work out what to spend it on (I wish you could buy a ROC at Area 18, not have to go...

    3.17.2 Should be going LIVE tomorrow

    On the plus side, by the time you're back the novelty factor of the new content will have likely worn off for many people, so there should be less competition for the missions\exploring the new additions.

    Well, yesterday was always the tomorrow of the day before...

    3.17.2 Should be going LIVE tomorrow

    It's a shame they couldn't explain how the credits were going to be allocated at the time they announced the upcoming wipe, rather than leaving it until the day before to let people know - There's probably quite a few players who missed out on "game time" during the time period due to either...

    Foundation Fest Free Fly and Roadmap Update

    Different people have different interests - Some people don't mind (or enjoy) doing repetetive things like "box" missions, cargo runs, bunkers, bounty hunting, or mining - The increase in wallet size isn't the aim (other than to "earn" a new ship to try the same\more activities in it instead of...

    Finally had a ship spawn into a hangar I could fly out of in first person

    I'm used to the cramped hangars - I tried a C2 loaner at one point (IAE last year?) and lost some paint leaving a hangar in it (strangely, I didn't like flying it because of the limited cockpit view, but the Freelancer Max I have since acquired (roughneck pack) has a similar view, but feels much...

    Finally had a ship spawn into a hangar I could fly out of in first person

    I decided to log in and do a little work towards levelling up my rep with Red-Wind last night using my Pisces, and got a surprise when I went to collect the ship from the hangar it was spawned into. I'd love to know how the server decided to allocate this hangar, as I don't yet have any ship...

    Foundation Fest Free Fly and Roadmap Update

    The problem is that there are different types of "social"... Many people have trouble talking to\communicating with new people, but once they get to know them (over some variable length of time) they become more comfortable doing so, and may have a large existing group with whom they are...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    Geting back to the original topic, here's a slightly different, more in-depth look at the teaser of the show: The analysis of some of the official photographs at the end was also quite interesting...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    She was certainly good in the role, but I'd have preferred to have seen her play a new\different character, rather than act as a wedge to allow the future switch of the doctor from male to female... It's already lore that there are female "timelords" (There was one in the original series...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    I grew up watching the shows from that same era, but having gone back through the entire back catalogue (at least that which survives), I prefer William Hartnell's doctor (who was "brought back to life" by David Bradley for a 50th anniversary special) as the "best" portayal of the character...

    Foundation Fest Free Fly and Roadmap Update

    I just wish they could make the foundation festival more introvert and autism-friendly in some way - There are a lot of people who are interested in the game, but who have great difficulty in meeting\speaking with new people, and so are either forced to endure the extreme discomfort\stress they...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    The problem seems to stem from writers\creators having 2 reasonable options: Create a new story\franchise from the ground up, earning a loyal audience who like the type of stories that you wish to tell or Write for an existing franchise in a way that the existing fanbase will appreicate\shows...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    Well, they had been discussing this for some time, indicating where it appeared the source material was being ignored... and I'd guess that if the product matches the source material, they (and most fans of the original books) will be in favor of the final product, but the problem is that the...
