    Starfield

    Sorry, as a longer term backer, I am still awaiting things they promised would be delivered in 2017… CIG is really good about promising things “next quarter, 3 quarters from now, etc., then saying nothing about a missed deadline. 2016 SQ42, sq42 beta in h2 2020, etc. CSOCS will fix...

    Starfield

    It's all going to depend on how things work. That said, even if they don't work exactly like SC has promised , if they deliver on a bunch of stuff that SC has not...even if it's not the complete package, I can see CIG taking a bigger hit than Bethesda will later on. After all, CIG has promised...

    Mining

    That's a fairly standard practice. I've seen people do similar with the MOLE and ships like the Herc, but you are putting a LOT of money at risk with that type of move. That's when it might pay to hire an escort (for instance, have 2 people from your mining crew in the Herc, and 2 in fighters...)

    MISC Expanse

    You can refine 16 SCU of quantanium in 26 minutes with one process on a station. It’s all going to be about maximizing aUEC per hour. The slow processes will give you a good yield, but they are some of the lowest UEC her hours out there. It’s all going to depend on what the limiting factor...

    MISC Expanse

    Honestly, I don’t know what they will do for refinery gameplay, and how that will impact things. I could certainly see a latter refinery, but it might be a MOLE sized one, but we really don’t know how much the Expanse will be able to handle. 64 SCU, 96? They could also offer one as a...

    New Refinery Concept Ship: MISC Expanse

    Correct. It will be able to collect and refine reaction fuels, but not collect quantanium

    New Refinery Concept Ship: MISC Expanse

    How to share profits... For an org group, everyone gets a share of the final sale amount. Miners, Haulers, Refiners, Escorts, Carrier ship (Liberator/Kraken), support ships, etc. For an independent, here is how I see it going. Miners will be responsible for mining and paying for their...

    I heard about free beer so now im here

    welcome to Test. The free beer you refer to is the free beer you provide as an offering to our glorious leader Montoya. Now, as for your qualifications...are you GOOD at flying spaceships, or are you more of a crash and burn type. While we do have a few that are pretty good at flying...

    New Refinery Concept Ship: MISC Expanse

    Ground floor and first floor are synonymous in the US. It is (normally) street level for the street that matches the address. (Sometimes a large building that is on a steep hill might have a side or rear entrance that is one or two levels above or below the main floor. The main difference is...

    New Refinery Concept Ship: MISC Expanse

    The Starfarer carries a lot of cargo, can refine fuel, can (probably) still scoop raw materials to turn into fuel, can refuel ships, had a huge amount of firepower, can utilize and house a lot of crew, etc. The expanse can accept pods from a miner, refine them, and pass them off to cargo ships...

    MISC Expanse

    no price as of yet. They are just talking about the ship. That said, it may not be straight to flyable, but a concept ship. Since this is the "refinery job starter ship", I expect between 120-180 or so.

    MISC Expanse

    Looks like CIG is finally working on the refinery ship they promised a few years ago. I am looking forward to this as it looks like it will finally complete the mining gameplay loop. Mine, Refine, and give to a hauler to bring to market. Looks to be a single player ship, 6 reactors that can...

    Drake does it again…porta-potty for a toilet

    Looks like the folks at Drake cheaped out again and used a porta-John when they built the Corsair. See 6:13 or ISC from Feb 24, 2022 View: https://youtu.be/J6dAvp2xqEI?t=373

    Endeavour

    The only safe place to keep your ships from price hikes is in your hangar. Even ships in BB could get changed so that people will pay current pricing in the future. TBH, I expect this around/just before the BMM is released to fltable. Even at current pricing, it’s still cheap compared to the...

    PSA- BB CCUs are full price now.

    All CIG has done is make giftable ships more valuable On the GM….

    [Video] I need $80,000 so I can buy this NFT spaceship!

    I agree, gameplay trumps all, but SC has been having lots of problems there too. They also are tying to put in too many contradictory aspects. Quick death, harsh death penalties. Cooperative game play, but no way to determine of you can trust a random party member. (In Test, you can count on...

    [Video] I need $80,000 so I can buy this NFT spaceship!

    Sorry, SC has already produced a TON of ships that look like ships in other games (cough…vulture). If they went after Star Atlas, they can easily claim it has more differences than SC has for its ships…

    [Video] I need $80,000 so I can buy this NFT spaceship!

    Here is the thing, SC is using a MUCH older engine as a starting loint (yes, I know they have changed it a lot, but it is still 2 generations behind). It also has proven a lot of the tech can be done, and former employees will be able to come in with a lot of the skills they gained in SC to...
