I wanted to check if a 2½ year old description of in-game despawning mechanic is still accurate - anyone know? I had my ship despawn at a mining station while I was looking for masks a couple of days ago, and went looking for solutions. This Spectrum post from a couple of years ago has what...

It may be several years until we get the ability to build or own bases, with our own or a friend's Pioneer or in some other way, and with enough of the resource management system they talked about at CitizenCon to make it feel real. But I like the idea of it in abstract. I just watched a video...

Thanks @August for organising what turned out to be a small meet-up in London this evening. Spent a very enjoyable few hours putting the world to rights with him and @CerberusPup4201.

There are a couple of warbond CCUs available in the pledge store at the moment for the: Aegis Avenger Warlock (MSRP melt value $85, warbond melt value $80, so $5 off) Aegis Vanguard Harbinger (MSRP melt value $290, warbond melt value $270, so $20 off). I picked up handful to keep in hangar for...

A year on from his first excellent video guide to mining quantanium, Loud Guns has produced a new one for Alpha 3.17.2. It's easy to understand, straightforward and covers both asteroid mining using a Prospector and surface mining using a MOLE. It's well worth a watch: (1459) The Quant Miner's...

According to Jared Huckaby's closing remarks in this week's Inside Star Citizen, after First Contact Day this weekend (12th June) next week is Alien Week. I haven't found any published start and end dates for it yet. They're going to showcase some current progress on the Banu Merchantman...

Hello! I'm putting a CCU chain for a Polaris LTI, which at the moment looks like this: I've got some store credits to use up, and will be putting in new money for the warbond CCUs, and the rest. I can think of one reason not to apply the CCUs straight away: the Polaris isn't flyable. On the...

Not sure this is drama exactly, but I get the feeling these forums have become significantly quieter in the past month or two. Do our esteemed site admins have traffic metrics for the Test Squadron forum that might indicate whether that feeling is just my imagination, or whether it's real...

Does anyone know if or when the Endeavour will be on sale again?

What reaction do folks use for posts they appreciate - you're not mad at the poster - but which contain something you're unhappy or annoyed about? We have: like :like: love :love: o7 :o7: glorious :glorious: wut? :wut: drunk :drunk: thump :thump: mad :mad: Like doesn't seem right for is...

Big news for anyone who glances at the Release View in the public roadmap: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18520-Roadmap-Roundup-February-2nd-2022 The salt on Spectrum is exactly what you’d expect...

There's a great thread here discussing starter ships: Which is a good couple of ships to start with Like many of the more active members of this forum I have quite a few ships, and some of them have become my daily drivers because I can make decent aUEC in them (e.g. Mole, several fighters) or...

The everything is lava.

After a longish (for me) session tonight I just got the Advanced Tracker License Certification mission, and completed it to open up VHRT bounty hunting missions. it seemed to take a LOT of HRT bounties - perhaps 25-40? - to make the little progress bar in the relevant level of the bounty hunter...

For a bit of fun, what two ships would YOU like to see square off against each other in a dogfight (stock, QT not allowed)? Let‘s see what two ships you nominate, your crew sizes and why you think that 1-on-1 fight would be fun to play or watch. Why? Which ship wins, if the players are all...

Hello! I'm looking for some lessons on how to use CCUs well. I hope you can help me understand this part of the 'game' a bit better? I'm a longstanding player/backer, but I've not dabbled in CCUs very much. Past ship/upgrade purchases have mostly been on the RSI Pledge Store, with an unhealthy...

Some random Reddit digging turned up this absolutely ancient video, which I found surprisingly entertaining. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IcPsIwC-pU Stunning to see the 'troubled project which might be turning good' viewpoint and a lot of the ships and locations we're familiar with...

Loudguns is one of the leaders of a mining-focussed org called Frontier Consolidated, and he makes pretty good videos including mining tutorials and strategy/org building stuff. He posted this one a few days ago, discussing what they learned from being unexpectedly on the wrong end of a piracy...

Saw this old Reddit thread, and it got me thinking. I‘ve spent a lot of time grinding quantanium for aUEC In my MOLE. I’m getting into PvE bounty hunting, and at least my bank balance is going up not down while I pew pew. It‘s fun because it’s fairly quick and it’s new. But when I think back...

I'm clearly not the only one to have extra ships showing up in ASOP terminals in game, but after a bit of Googling I'm not too convinced by any of the answers people came up with. I can see the following ships in an ASOP terminal just now. (And yes, I'm appropriately ashamed about how many ships...
