    IAE 2954 WB CCU Watch

    And the Freelancer MIS just let me replace the Sabre in my chain to the Zeus MR, to save an extra $5.

    IAE 2954 WB CCU Watch

    If I really need to carry cargo, I have a Liberator (with an M2 loaner), but I don't see cargo as a focus. The reason, for me, for Tali Cargo Modules would be to fill the gap between the Cutlass Blue/Zeus Mk II MR and the Liberator. Mostly involving moving my crap from one location to another...

    Full wipe for 4.0

    We're supposed to buy in on the concept of a ship, not the numbers. My Vanguard is supposed to be capable of multiple jumps without refueling according to the concept. At a minimum that means Stanton to Nyx or Castra without needing to stop in Pyro.

    IAE 2954 WB CCU Watch

    I grabbed the Eclipse CCU and turned my Scoundrel Pack MSR into a Redeemer. (I really hate the cargo loading mechanic, especially with the MSR.) I guess I'll pickup the cargo modules for the Tali at ILW to handle the mid range moving of things.

    Full wipe for 4.0

    It is temporary as they figure out how far they want each size and type of ship to go on a tank of gas. Once they have the basics down, they will adjust the individual drives and ships. (Or at least that is how I would do it. One parameter at a time.) In the past they have changed multiple...

    Full wipe for 4.0

    It shouldn't be all that expensive. Cheaper fuel means more commerce, more traveling around. It makes small ships economical. If fuel is "fekin expensive" then only big ships would exist and passenger transport would be the key profession.

    Full wipe for 4.0

    Carrier based craft were not supposed to have the range for Pyro. Most small ships were not supposed to be able to even cross Stanton. The lack of range for small ships was the selling point of the Liberator. The lack of range for small fighters was the selling point of the Vanguard. The...

    Full wipe for 4.0

    Did anyone really expect anything different? I also expect a ship sale with longer range ships with the release of 4.0. Pyro is behind a pay wall, you can't really experience it in a starter ship.

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    If you don't include November at all this year is trending to finish behind 2020. With a great IAE they will beat 2020, but that is still a big loss compared to 21, 22 and 23.

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    My F7c Mk II is my only small ship that can run box missions. Otherwise I'll have to run box missions in my Cutlass Blue. :) Especially since I'm seriously considering converting my MSR to a Redeemer.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    The only thing I can think of, which would make up the funding loss for this year, is to sell the RSI Pegasus to backers. No, I don't think they will but it would sell like hotcakes.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    As a bounty hunter (intended role) Pyro shouldn't be a healthy place for me to be. Given that I would prefer to avoid it without a huge reward for the risk. Unfortunately since they decided to leave Hadrian off the list of initial planets, Pyro is the (Unintentional?) economic center of the...

    Need input on a new desk!

    I personally like these, but I can't fit them in my house. (I'd need 2 in the same room.) https://imperatorworks.com/ I went to IKEA, picked up a 5' long butcherblock desk top and 4 legs. Got 2 pieces of wire management racks, a pair of joystick mounts, a headphones hook and a coaster for the...

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    See my response to @Shadow Reaper on log out or escape. The short answer is no. The pods will be used to bring in live bounties, regardless if they are NPC or PC.

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    There was a suggestion, by CIG, that if you were captured, you could either wait for the pod to be delivered, or accept the capture and skip to the prison sentence (similar to waiting for medical rescue or respawning in the hospital). The person in the pod would be switched to an NPC so the...

    Honoring those who served - Veterans Day

    Thanks to those that came before me, to those that came after me and a special thanks to those that served with me.

    POLARIS first look!

    II don't have a Polaris. I don't want a Polaris. I don't care enough to argue about it.

    POLARIS first look!

    I just found this. Apparently they do.

    POLARIS first look!

    Hard telling what actually happens. It looks like tube 3, which is on one side of the elevator, and runs past the torp launch control runs through the elevator shaft in the videos I've watched. To be fair, I can't get the ptu to load in, and I don't own a Polaris, so I haven't seen it myself...
