Shit I still have one in buyback; maybe I need to go re-snag it before a price increase happens. . .

I like this setup OR a size 5 laser cannon if you don't want to worry about restocking. Do not go size 5 repeater though, because then the damn pips don't line up, and I found the size 4 repeater to be lacking in DPS. FWIW. Self destruct if you lose a gun though because going all the way to...

Dear lord, SOOO glad I've been hanging on to all the important CCUs in the hangar since the Expo!

I'm actually kinda excited for the X-wing, er, Scorpius. Might finally be a worthy upgrade for my very-loved-yet-now-pretty-neglected SuperHornet. I always like the 2-seat fighter concept but could never warm up to the Hurricane for some reason.

Who's Tiara? 🥴

I think Merlins were once available with LTI also at the $25 mark, though I'd say the 'true' answer is the $0 referral bonus ships with LTI. I got both a Merlin and MPUV like that. Catch there though is while you can upgrade them, you can never melt them again!

On a sorta interesting relevant note, I played around with my 'Deemer loadout today and discovered that the capacitors for the pilot weapons and turret weapons are indeed different, as advertised. There's some interesting caveats with this though. Since the pilot controls the front remote...

Not yet, hopefully Soon*(TM). For now it's more of a 'cost avoidance' type thing as a method to stock up on replacement armor, weapons, ammo, etc. to avoid needing to buy all that after you die and lose it all!

It's decent; easy to land lots of hits on the Idris as well as fend of the larger fighters, but it's not a very tough pancake and I sometimes die just from smacking into something whilst strafing around the Idris or a HH. That coupled with the lack of interior limits its use in Xeno, and I find...

This anyone else's favorite part of the game to date? Got bits of everything: flying, dogfighting, FPS, multitool, capital ships, and wonderful comradery with random people teaming up to jump in turrets, lend multitools, shuffle cargo, fly cover, etc. Plus good paydays :D Highlight today was...

Good thread for the record! I didn't realize the game packages had changed up so much, no Reliant or 300s anymore? Crazy! Anyway, at a slight risk of repeating myself, my opinion is that the important starter ships are the ones that offer really good REASONS to help draw new players into the...

He did say what his goals were: This screams starter/all-rounder, not smuggling specific, ergo the many suggestions of Titans/Nomads/Blacks/Lancers. I even admitted my bias for the 300 series while still recommending the more all-rounders until one has played enough to figure out their own...

Haven't played around with this yet and need to try it. I *think* I need at least a Prospector (only at asteroids, so ROC won't work, right?), find/mine the ore from an asteroid, then take it to an R&R to refine it, and then use a cargo ship to move the refined stuff to a big port to sell. Is...

^Truth! For 10 years running my opinion on this has never waivered: 1.) Start with an Avenger Titan. Hands down the best all-rounder solo starter ship. Nomad is probably a close contender, but especially for the price : capability ratio, the Titan can't be beat. 2.) Once you've done some of...

Yeah I wouldn't let the family open any presents Xmas morning until we'd first watched the launch. . . I swear I was the only one who didn't think Barbie Dolls were the most important thing going on that morning. . . :/

^This. Vanguard remains one of my favs for all those reasons. Great fighter, great turret, nice interior, etc. When you can grab the $10 upgrade to a Warden, and then a $15 Warden -> Sentinel but sit on that one until we know more about the E-war/etc. stuff.

$10 CCU from Ion to Warden. . . this guy was planning ahead!!! But I only grabbed two during IAE I think, shoulda got 20 to scalp on the grey market here this week, lol, oh well!

Sure! Prison wasn't the issue for me *this time,* but apparently it's a known-trigger for losing your Mobi, so I mentioned it. I'm pretty sure what I DID do was try to loot the Mobi off of a corpse. Apparently in the 'Verse it's OK to relieve the dead of all their clothing and equipment...

I understand this sentiment and have a similar dilemma. Though I never intend to fly my Polaris solo, my 'normal' playgroup size in usually only 2-3 people, and while much better than solo, I'm still not entirely sure this will really be enough to run/use the ship. I'm still absolutely in LOVE...

Good writeup, but leaves me with two questions: 1.) How does one go about 'microjumping?' Do you need someone in like a Herald that can quickly fly to the point you want, and then you jump to that player? Or is there a different way? 2.) Though I've seen it done, how in the heck does one go...
