    Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)

    Interestingly, they didn't wait until the second\final distribution of these to put them in the store (as usually occurs), and instead added them at the same time as the first distribution\announcement. $4 (plus applicable taxes) each, for those who were curious.

    Subscriber Warbond CCU this month

    I'm not sure that this will be a monthly offering, though - Last month's ship (Defender) only had the standard (+12 months insurance) offering for subscribers with no Warbond discount option. Otherwise, this isn't a bad idea.

    Subscriber Warbond CCU this month

    For those interested, alongside the Freelancer MAX being the subscriber ship of the month, there is a Warbond CCU to it as well ($140 istead of $150):

    Scorpius Anteres in PTU

    Here's one being put through some PvE combat, along with a number of (what appear to a non-combat player to be valid) criticisms of the ship:

    Scorpius Anteres in PTU

    But, on the other hand, it would have been too powerful if the pilot could do everything in it... On the plus side for potential buyers, it's much less likely to be nerfed in this configuration, and this should also keep the price lower than if a sole player could make use of all the ship's...

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    Thursday (Well, Friday for Aus\NZ) it is... Source: Zyloh-CIG's responce in this thread on Spectrum: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/when-s-the-next-free-fly

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    With no PTU update "today", it wouldn't surprise me - they can tidy things up for a live release tomorrow. Whether it's tomorrow of the day after, at least it aligns with the planned Thursday release I had heard on a video a couple of minutes ago - Either it's tomorrow (Thursday in Aus\NZ), or...

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    I'd just seen a video where they claimed it was Thursday: I'll go with the Thursday guess - Either it's tomorrow (Thursday down here), or it's Thursday in the UK\USA (Friday down here) :)

    New variant on the way (3.18)

    It looks like the Quantum Dampener and EMP are controlled by the "passenger", not the pilot, as well.

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    The sooner it gets here the better - I'm not sure my ship budget (mainly for potential WB CCU's - I already have a Vulture and no real need\desire for the Scorpius Antares) can handle the $Aus dropping too much further. To make matters worse, there's the "sale" with the release, coupled with...

    3.18 aiming to live this week!

    Looked at another way, by the time you are able to play at least some of the potential server (and client?) side bugs will be ironed out and you should have a better experience than you would have had were you able to play at release...

    MISC Fury?

    It's hard to tell what it could be, based on just the name. It could be (among other possibilities): Fury -> Rage (combat) Fury -> Force (tractor beam focussed) - Possible multi-crew "SRV" style vehicle with larger\multiple tractor beams Fury -> Tear apart (salvage\ship breaker) - intermediate...

    MISC Fury?

    Mentioned at around 29:07, one of the 4 interns from Sweden (David) in the VFX team was stated to be working on this ship\vehicle. Given (according to the roadmap) that the VFX team appear to start working on ships\vehicles towards the end of their development, it's possible that we'll see this...

    Pirates Vs Protectors in 3.18?

    For the Salvage peeps

    It's probable the "munching" will be (at least initially) along the same lines as ship destruction (with "cutting" lines matching where a hull splits on exploding), although there would likely be further work required on this both to allow the Vulture to do this, as well as to break down the...

    For the Salvage peeps

    For some, "adventure" is what they want, for others, relaxation, or an escape from the stress of their work\daily life. What some see as "relaxing" or a "break from reality", others may see as stressful, or boring\"another job". Ideally there should be enough space for players to spread out...

    For the Salvage peeps

    The problem is that everyone has their own view of what the game should be, yet few are willing to consider the views of others unless they agree with them. Add the way the game forces players with conflicting views of what the game is\"should be" into one system, and it's hard for players to...

    For the Salvage peeps

    You may still get some of that with salvage once they move on to "munching" ships and ability to remove components\drain fuel (much of the latter will probably be reliant on the implementation of drones). Sadly, with the way "soft death" now works, I'm not sure whether we'll have the risk of...

    For the Salvage peeps

    That's taking a cynical view of mining (or other industries), but even so, here are a few opportunities in mining which could be used to influence a variety of mining ships: There could be a "dual laser" mining option (similar to hull scraping) which could either be used to "scrape" a rock to...

    Sale incoming?

    I'd seen that as well, but when I testd a couple of nights ago, I didn't have the piano as an option - It was the table or nothing on mine. I did, however, see someone mention that the piano was finally working\appearing in 3.18, so it could just be a bug with the ship (like the hot-tub not...
