    Mining Head information

    Buy the kid a starter set of hand tools. It's tempting to give him/her yours, but giving them a full set of sockets isn't that expensive, and you can use it to teach responsibility. Make sure it comes in a nice case where everything can be organized and they can see what they have and are...

    Mining Head information

    Mole mining suggestions. I've now used a helix on my prospector on some big rocks (5k ish/10 percent bexalite/5 percent Hepnaestanite/20 percent quartz was the biggest). Instability on this puppy was high at around 5.5 or so raw, about 2.75 with the helix Now, given that instability was my...

    Mining Head information

    If we keep it as it is in game, how about color coding it so the good numbers are green (buffs) and the bad ones (debuffs) are in red? That way it helps the guide or reference user

    Mining Head information

    The table is a bit confusing as to what is what, especially with the various positive and negative numbers and damping vs regular numbers, etc. I would suggest changing it all to a multiplier number for resistance and instability So if it reduces either resistance or instability by half, the...

    Important Mining Head Info

    S1 Hofstede review I had an opportunity to run this one on my prospector today, and it's a definite improvement over the standard mining head. I was able to transfer enough energy into a fairly big rock to crack it, and got a very nice 22k payout as my reward (not great, but not bad for one of...

    SPOILERS: Idris Mission Strategies

    Going after an Idris will be a multi ship strategy. hammerheads going after shields is good, with the strategy being you want to take down at least one shield face. Two hammerheads are better than one as to split the attention of the Idris and it’s fighter escort, with the goal being to keep...

    Trading Cargo haulers rejoice! (3.8 spoiler)

    Unfortunately, the OP is not correct in all cases. Had a 30k in orbit of Hurston. When I came back it was in "stanton" and I needed to claim my freelancer Max, and all my cargo was lost. Hopefully, this will continue to be worked on and the ship and cargo will be persistent.

    Crusader Ares - Stats live

    2 or 3 medium shields and medium armor make it one of the toughest medium sized ships out there. It will be far from a glass cannon. These are designed to be hit by cap ship weapons several times before popping. if you are a medium ship or larger, you are prey for this ship...especially at...

    Holiday 2019 Contest

    I would not use an aurora for this shot as they are too small in comparison to the Cat. (IMO) Something freelancer sized would be better, maybe 8 Freelancers or Cutlasses.

    R.I.P. Big Bird and Oscar

    Caroll Spinney, who voiced both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, has passed. Sesame Street was a staple in my house hold growing up, both for me, and my nieces and nephews. RIP Mr. Spinney, and say hello to your new Neighbor, Mr. Rogers from all of us. We miss you both.

    "Join TEST", they said. "Make an introduction post", they said..

    Hello, welcome to the greatest collection of screw-ups, misfits, and drunks this side of the galaxy...and maybe beyond remember, it’s not a job, it’s a misadventure

    Cargo haulers will probably get nerfed

    Test, even if we could all sober up and go in the same direction for months at a time, could not control or put a stranglehold on a market. We have 19,000 members. The town I live in is about the same size. There is no way it could even hope to control even one strategic resource or area...

    Constellation Taurus

    I find the Vulcan to have almost no character. It’s a big box. The Starrunner I will give you, but the Corsair is even uglier than I am. I find the Connie to have a lot of character. Yes, it could be tweaked a bit, but it’s a working person’s ship, like the YT-1300s were. If you put the...
