This would be worth re-visiting and theory-crafting periodically. It really seems like Orgs are going to be a very powerful force in SC, and large Orgs will have a huge *potential* advantage, if they can solve problems of communication (i.e., effectively communicating with several thousands of...

Good video! I went and did asteroid mining yesterday, and I liked it better than mining on a planet. I still got a little weirded it out when the rock would explode, shower me with pebbles, and then the cockpit voice would tell me I was "under attack." I just went up to the first asteroid I...

I'll sign up for his crew!

Welcome aboard! Is this the inspiration for your handle? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xxugNQUtpE

just don't spam the button to copy your account to the PTU...it can take a couple minutes to get to you, and their server generates a new password each time...

Le bump...just under 14 hours to go!

Yeah, somebody tell him about all the mother-f*cking ships you can fit on the motherf*cking Kraken, lol!

Ok, lads, the PTU is open to everybody! Go forth, & blot out the sun with us!

ooooh, I can write another Ph.D. thesis? That's the game I want, lol! Maybe while I'm waiting for the tram, I could pickpocket a security guard?

OK people...if you haven't signed up for this...then, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberry!

Or, maybe they did think about it, and they are using advanced Psy-warfare on us...this could be the "door in the face" technique (as opposed to the "foot in the door"), where they start off with a large request / large amount first, and then when they lower it later, we all cheer! Of course...

The big news for *everybody* (on top of all the other changes, you really should watch the vid) is that De-Coupled mode should now work the way it is intended. For fighters, harnessing de-coupled will mean that you can squeeze out extra time with the enemy in your sights. For larger ships, you...

here you go--proof:

well, it isn't a game, so to speak, it is a "sim" and that is why CR would want some relation to price and reality. I just edited my response above, one reason to maybe price starter ships high is so you can trade in your starter ship and get max UEC for it...I mean, why buy a second Aurora...

I realized this morning that the starter ships are more expensive than I thought. Using the "basic rifle" is close to UEC what a IRL rifle is in dollars, I would have expected an Aurora to cost like a Corolla (about UEC 20k) and a luxury ship to cost like a Mercedes (about UEC 50-80k). That...

I haven't plotted it, but I'm guessing it is closer to a logarithmic association...i.e., lower values are "larger" in relation to bigger values...if you plotted the log of the values, it would look approximately linear... Here is a quickie plot...x axis is the ships, y axis is log (ln) price...

Something to remember with the Kraken --> according to 5 year old lore, a lot of the single seat ships have a Quantum drive, but do NOT have a Jump drive, at least initially -- you have to buy one and install it later. So a lot of people with fancy pants fighters may be able to hop around...

Right, using round numbers (i.e., 22 million for the HH) I worked out that it would take 5,500 person-missions to buy a Hammerhead (assuming you didn't spend it on anything else). So, it would take 100 people 55 missions each to earn it. The 4000 UEC for a mission is spot on with one benchmark...

That's what it looked like! Ready to be a door-gunner?
