    Stock Market for a newbie

    OH... If you're really interested in this, then there's a tool you might want to look into. It's called a Stock Trainer. It allows you to pretend to invest, and shows you how you do, without actually making an investment. If anything, they give you a feel for how things work, they report real...

    3.1 is live

    I'm thinking you need a bigger ship, something you can do some trading with. You can make a whole, what, 275 credits? something like that, on a single successful trip with Hydrogen Gas in a Freelancer. Assuming you don't crash. I actually log out and back in after each trade run, no more than...

    Stock Market for a newbie

    I have some stock investments. Disclaimer: I also don't have any idea what the hell is going on, and nothing in this message should be taken as advice that you should follow simply because I said something. Look at it like this: I"m a monkey in an orange space suit, talking to Marvin the...

    3.1 is live

    I liked your post, not your experience. My experience with 3.1 has not been great either, just not as bad as what you describe. I crash about every hour, sometimes less. But it takes a little time to do each mission or cargo run, and I frequently forget and end up with CTD in the middle of...

    The Roadmap

    I'm a bit skeptical about that. Network bind culling is more a future proofing thing, than something that is going to have a high impact right now. As far as I'm concerned, Network Bind Culling can move out to sometime in 2019 if it can't be put into any of the Alpha 3.x's, then put it in...

    Automatically deploying landing gear: Bug or Feature?

    Geez. They need to change the way they think about user interfaces. Right now the GUI and UX are implemented how a developer thinks of it, not how a user uses it.

    FreeLancer Question

    Hm that has to be old info, they've changed the way cargo works. The freelancer has space for 66 cargo containers, for a total load of 660 SCU's. Like 10 to a box, crate, tank, whatnot.

    Yeah so far, so good. I'm getting an extra 4 or 5 FPS too.

    The Roadmap

    I like the roadmap a lot, provided they stick to the game plan and don't let things slip without early notification. I would probably take less than this for me to pee myself though. At some point you'll discover that it's becoming a constant danger even with bad news, or even just because.

    How many SOTS (State of the Squadron) is it going to take before full persistent universe

    If you read this a certain way, he's also voting for 42.

    Round 2 of the 3.1.1 update is ready. Or it's the precursor to either another rollback, or a very slow weekend.

    How many SOTS (State of the Squadron) is it going to take before full persistent universe

    AHHH... State Of The Squadron is SOTS! So, @ one/month, it's ~ 48 months I think.

    How many SOTS (State of the Squadron) is it going to take before full persistent universe

    I have no idea what SOTS means, but if you mean how many more updates I think 35 might actually be close. If they don't let things slide, then 32 is the number I come up with, and the game will be essentially complete and release quality by 2022. They need to run both PTU and PU all the time...

    Recommendations for 2K urethane top coats?

    heh. Something I want to try is either fiberglass or even better, basalt fiber to construct a helmet, and body armor. You can use the/an existing helmet for a mold. If you use basalt fiber, the result can even be bullet proof or rather resistant. the gel-coat layer is smooth as glass if you...

    Everyone's favorite "What ship would you keep?"

    QUESTION ALL THE THINGS! couldn't resist.

    Everyone's favorite "What ship would you keep?"

    The way I see it you want a medium or heavy fighter, a cargo ship to make money now, and a profession ship to make money later. You can roll all of that into just the Cutlass, if you want a fairly nimble fighter, with cargo capacity and a future profession (which would basically be piracy, once...

    3.1 is live

    Something tells me I would rather not see that video ... but I certainly understand how you feel. there really isn't a lot to do, and it feels like they're delivering new ships in lieu of stability, game play mechanics for those same ships, and game content. It's kind of backed them into a...
