    Hello Everyone

    Hi Warsai, or Crazy. welcome to TEST. Fun fact about Earth: It's the only known place in the universe (for the moment), where drinkable beer is brewed. Far as ships go, my advice is don't worry too much about that until you figure out what you want to do, and what suits your style of game...

    Hello everyone!

    Hey Lazy, welcome to TEST, and don't worry about flying. We are kind of known for our ability to crash. The more spectacular crashes are celebrated like accomplishments, because otherwise we'd all be depressed.

    Anybody else excited about the gameplay options Land Claims could open?

    That reminded me of something that happened quite a few years ago. A guy (who happened to be from Newfoundland, which just makes it funnier to those in the know) arrives in Toronto. A couple of weeks later, he tries to steal a car that he'd seen parked every day for a week in a nearby parking...

    Hey folks!

    Sure. Why not? Welcome to TEST! ... and you made me want a Carrack again. Geez.

    Greetz to all

    Welcome to TEST DarkLupis, at least you won't have to deal with Kung Fu Panda's here! At least, I hope. I also played WOW until Panda land, then quit for 5 years only to come back to the same old, same old. But I figured out it wasn't really the panda's. It was the funnel to nothing. As you...

    Im trying to access the 3.0 PTU.

    OH wait, I had a similar problem. Well the button was there but it didn't do anything. On the right hand side of the screen, there's a tab that says, "Settings" click that. Then find the button for "Verify files" or something like that. This worked for me when I needed it.

    How do you play Star Citizen when you're traveling

    (The bit you need to be concerned with if you're traveling, is the 1.5 Mbps throughput) There is a substantial gap between *my* definition of "High Speed Internet" and the definition that Hilton and Marriott uses.

    This land claim system is open to terrible abuse...

    My vote's for Universe Domination. Doesn't mean we don't need a real-estate division. Does anyone notice the similarity between Montoya's glowering scowl, and Brain's?

    Its Hammer Time!

    So... when it's en-route to a build site, my Pioneer is going to be one honking big slow ass moving barn door for most of the flight. I think I'm gonna need something that can defend it against the buzzards. Ships like the Polaris and the Hammerhead owned by players looking for something to do...

    The TEST Pioneer we bought already comes with the Land Claim

    Sure are thinking of it anyway. The main problem is that what I've heard so far (including today's video) is incompletely thought out. But, Chris Roberts has used the term "Crafting Economy" several times in the past - and in this video he not only links it with the land claims mechanic but he...

    Its Hammer Time!

    I only wish at the moment. Going to have to wait until the next opportunity, I wasn't expecting that ship until it was too late - but it sure would fit nicely in my fleet.

    Anybody else excited about the gameplay options Land Claims could open?

    Oohh yeah I keep thinking wanting to buy a Saber next, but I need to remind myself I wanted to do exploration and operations over combat in this game. Heh. Thanks for the reminder. Not that I don't want to do combat, but exploration, mining, and things like that interest me more long term.

    The TEST Pioneer we bought already comes with the Land Claim

    The pioneer does come with 1 8Km X 8Km square land claim (This was from the the initial concept sale). I *think* it still comes with that.

    Nice job CIG! Taking advice from EA now?

    #1. This makes it simply a new-cash grab right now, doesn't it? Wonder what they'd do if someone asked for a refund on a ship, then used those funds to pay for a land claim in cash? Could someone do that? About Point 2: Certainly food for thought - but I am thinking that the most popular...

    The TEST Pioneer we bought already comes with the Land Claim

    I believe that you will not be able to permanently steal someone's land claim - but you may be able to disrupt it operations on a land claim, including taking over mining operations etc. My Pioneer, and I suspect others in and out of TEST Squadron will be available to hire for constructing an...

    Anybody else excited about the gameplay options Land Claims could open?

    Oh yeah, I'm excited about the possibilities but it needs more implementation detail at the moment. I own 1 land claim right now, from my Pioneer purchase, but if it's implemented as a piece of the economy (as is insinuated in the description, but not in any detail) then I will happily buy...

    Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

    Hm. I would buy land claims but, I'm reluctant until I know how they're going to incorporate that into game play. At the moment, it seems too simplistic. (or "gimmick" as I wrote originally.)

    Hello

    Welcome to TEST. and, if you shoot something that wants to shoot back, it's OK. You'll just die a little sooner than you planned, which is like normal SOP for some of us.

    Friends, Romans, Testies. Lend me your mugs. I have beer!

    Welcome to Test. I know exactly what you mean about the heat in Texas. It took me 3 years just to go outside in summer.

    List of new Key Bindings for 3.0

    Well, I think this design reduces the number of TEST Squadron accidental suicides due to random typos, or doing a face plant on the keyboard. That sort of thing. I get it though, lots of people have been stuck in their seat, unable to get out of their ship, so some kind of suicide button...
