    Ship prices in UEC

    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 New Flight Model coming in 3.4

    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...

    Ship prices in UEC

    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...

    Ship prices in UEC

    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...

    Ship prices in UEC

    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...

    What's your guy's opinion on the new citizencon ships?

    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...

    Ship prices in UEC

    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...

    Hurricane Michael in the Gulf

    Well, of course she told him to clean up. The question is: Did he listen?

    There's a reason why Britain gets so much rain!

    It was amazingly bright. I can't wait for the BFR to launch out of there! I like your avatar!

    Welcome aboard! Is "geritol" still a thing? If it is, I heartily endorse that product and/or service!

    Should have been clear--> **My video** was unspectacular! The launch was friggin' awesome! The atmospheric effects afterward were amazing!

    Unspectacular SpaceX Launch video

    I'm about 40-50 miles NW of Vandenburg, so I went to the park where I walk my dogs and recorded this rather "meh" video of the launch. The iPhone just isn't built for low light filming...which I knew, I just had to try... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qu4q3hT47o The atmospheric...

    Potential Workaround for Ships Spawning without Doors, Guns, Seats, etc.

    Basically, when you go to a teriminal to spawn a ship, **look first** to see if your cargo ships have the correct cargo space SCU number listed. If not, go to another terminal...lather, rinse, repeat, until the terminal gives you correct cargo hold readings. If it is correct, then you should be...

    Combat

    So, I agree with everything everybody has said! The flight/combat model is horribly broken, etc. But, exactly as @marcsand2 said, face threats as a team. A lot of people like to think SC will be just like AC, but with more going on. However, even small coordinated teams will pick of the best...
