    Let's play a game

    The name of the game is, guess the ship with the lowest combined acceleration of the maneuvering thrusters. You could check SC Ships Performances Viewer for the correct answer, but please do it only after guessing. Or go to Erkul and tally up the Gs for all the maneuvering thrusters yourself...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    (Them numbers are just to illustrate how the economy could work:) Let's say you invest 1 million on the cargo. Let's say 100% of the time the dangerous route will have NPC pirates, and if you have any half decent escort you will win while without escorts you'll lose 100% of the time. Let's also...

    Fan-made Invictus 2953 Trailer

    I love how absolutely everyone's idea of high-tech future video replay seems to be just horrendous amounts of artifacts. Like it's been 900 years and they're yet to figure out how to incorporate error correction to video files. :wut:

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    I'm sorry, I don't follow. Piracy will be insurance fraud? Y'know, now that I'm double checking, I'm not that sure myself. Probably read 23.5k as 235k. Well, there's still 108k Helixes, which is half as good anyhow. Oh, that's old piracy. You don't need to stop to negotiate now. You just...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    Ehh... not really a fan of this. Like sure, now there's bit of an extra risk for the attacking side, but the rewards for the attacking side got buffed way more. Like what's the risk you're taking if you're in a stock Cutlass Black harassing smaller haulers and miners that can't afford escorts...

    BMM and Modularity

    Oh, certainly. I got BMM because I like the idea of a bazaar ship. But the other day I happened to look at that original concept page and I figured it'd be fun to dream a bit, eh? :like: Yeah, I'd imagine the Banu have some more military focused configurations of the BMM. It'd make sense...

    BMM and Modularity

    Okey, so there's very little modularity currently in game, just a few ships got a room or two you can theoretically swap out but for now they basically resemble variants, so it's easy to forget that pretty much every larger ship is intended to have some modularity. Even the Merchantman. Here's...

    I wish...

    Online shopping. Like you land at a port, but instead of getting out of your ship and into a train to travel all the way to some terminal 10 kilometers away, you'd open up your mobiglass planetary browser and navigate to the stores webpage from the comfort of your cramped little space shuttle...

    Scraping together the 6th chain

    Interesting, thank you. Guess I'll just wait and see as this sounds promising.

    Medrunners drama!

    Well, that seems to be a reasonable reason not to bother with the system, I just wasn't aware of it. Still, even after any functionality gets tied to the system, it'll likely be just as customizable as the names of the ranks are, so I'd still advocate for the first rank-up to merely denote some...

    Medrunners drama!

    Eh, my only qualm with TEST is that we got 21660 cadets v 68 ensign. Kinda makes it seem like we don't actually have active members or something. Think that first promotion should be basically anyone that's long term active / committed with TEST, like say, after hitting the thousandth forum post...

    Scraping together the 6th chain

    There's a new RSI miner coming? Wow, that's wonderful news! Do we know anything more about it? I tried searching for it, but all I'm finding is a bunch of fan concepts. That is an excellent offer, and I'd take it if my scrap list had that many giftable ships. Unfortunately, nearly all that's...

    Scraping together the 6th chain

    With the way Vulture price bump was noticeably larger than expected, and that Hurricane price bump leaving me with a pretty good F7C-M -> Hurricane CCU just lying around, combined with some leftover CCUs from yesteryears, I noticed I had more or less all the ingredients for a CCU chain...

    Current ButFleet

    BMM, Hull D, Perseus, Genesis, Redeemer... that's a great lineup. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

    Happy Birthday Glorious leader and Chrome

    Extravagantly jubilant birthday celebrations to The Most Glorious Leader of the Unified TEST Armadas, The Venerable Admiral Supreme of The Aurora Fleet That Will Blot Out The Sun and The Esteemed Patriarch of The Primary Squardon, Montoya. And a more stealthy celebration to the sparkliest of...

    Xenothreat sale and CCU's

    Kinda weird that the discount for a $250 ship is $30, but the discount for a $325 ship is $25 and not the other way around. Almost as if CIG was making sure you couldn't get those cheap $5 WB CCUs here... :wut:

    Checking the Anvil Hurricane price bump thread be like

    Well I'll be. lmao, I had two chains with F7C-M (+$5, $15 discount) -> Hurricane (+$5, $15 discount) -> Defender Now they're F7C-M (+$5, $25 discount) -> Hurricane (+$5, $5 discount) -> Defender hilarious! Then one chain Hurricane (+$5) -> Vulcan (+$10) -> Terrapin which I can now replace...

    Oh, that'd be nice. I think it might happen during IWL though.
