    IAE 2952 WB CCU watch

    I now have a molten pool of Pioneer and Constellation Phoenix, along with sundry other ships that I may wish to try out randomly through the use of quarterly buy-back tokens. My CCU pool has also reached Concierge level on its own - Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    For short periods of time, it would be reasonable to expect fully player-crewed ships, but what about the problems that can come from longer-term missions\voyages. Doing a short term run (one play session), you can all leave from a location, then return there at the end of it to allow the crew...

    CCU predictions

    The C2 can also land planetside while loaded, which the Hull C won't be able to do (Implementing the Hull C will require either having items that can be traded between rest stops\station, or missions to transport cargo between them, so I don't expect it in 3.18). The Hull C's "advantage" over...

    If it helps, I've already added them to a table at the top of the second post in this thread, sorted by ship cost.

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    I'm still not convinced that the multi-crew ships (particularly the larger ones) are going to be viable with more than 1 or 2 players with the rest of the crew being NPC's. When the limit on respawns kicks in, heading out on someone else's multi-crew ship is going to require either a short...

    How much is an NPC slot really worth?

    While looking at my fleet, and considering future additions, I'm starting to wonder how much an NPC slot is worth when deciding what to keep and what to melt - For reference, I tend to play solo, so I'll likely use them to help crew my larger ship(s) both due to playing solo, as well as the...

    CCU predictions

    I'd start with the following ships, which are listed as under developement and likely to be released in the next 12 months (or see price rises at least): Vulture (3.18) Hull C (Possibly 3.18, likely by Pyro) SRV (3.19/4.0?) Spirit family San'tok.yai BMM For some of them (Vulture in...

    RSI Galaxy Screenshots and speculation

    It may be a possible substitute for a Caterpillar, though, if you have one... The Galaxy's cargo module appears designed to hold 16 of the 32 SCU containers, which the Caterpillar cannot carry, and which the RAFT and Hull C carry externally where they can be easily shot off\"removed". You could...

    And... Zyloh has confirmed that the Hangar is indeed an XXS, not an XS as originally advertised, so no mobile prospector\refinery module Galaxy for me :(

    As I recall, you had to have the ship in your hangar before BIS day to get the skin (I could be wrong), so it may be too late anyway.

    Hanger pass?

    Mine seem to show "Hangar pass" in default view, but revert to "Hangar" once "Hangar XPLORer" kicks in. I seem to recall seeing something on Spectrum about it some time ago, but can't recall the thread. There is the possibility that it is designed around allowing players to use the "pass" to...

    If you have them in your hangar before the event, the skin\coin are issued as a seperate Hangar item, not linked to the ship, though, so you can melt the ship and still have them. If you buy the BIS variant, the skin, etc. are linked to that ship and you lose them when you melt the ship. Having...

    I just want to get the skins for the ships I have in my hangar so that I can get rid of the Scorpius and MSR and re-use the funds they have tied up in them for other ships while the sale is still running...

    Just because a turret comes fitted with size 5's by default doesn't prevent the owner from removing them and adding a smaller sized weapon (Size 4, for example), does it?

    IAE 2952 WB CCU watch

    I'd wait until tomorrow to be sure - It is possible that they are treating today as a "Manufacturer day", with only WB CCU's from the ships on display on offer. Tomorrow would then be the start of the "open days" where all ships are on offer for rent, etc. and so the past WB CCU's may return at...

    I wouldn't read too much into that - All concept ships have that wording at release. For example, here's the C1 from earlier in the year: Taken from disclaimer at the bottom of https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18817-Crusader-C1-Spirit

    IAE 2952 WB CCU watch

    I'm contemplating giving up on the Valkyrie chain I had been working on and moving it across to a Galaxy instead - It was intended as a ROC transport, but the Freelancer MAX would do almost as well in that role. I had been hoping for LTI modules being for sale, but it looks like that wasn't to...

    RSI Galaxy Screenshots and speculation

    I'm a little curious as to what will be filling the space where the module is designed to be placed if you don't have one fitted - I had expected it to come with the cargo module as standard, but it appears that is not the case, so will it just be a void, a vehicle bay, or something else?

    It's a shame you probably can't fit a prospector in the hangar - Being able to mine, then unload directly into a refinery like this would have been nice, and might have tempted me to give quantanium mining a go as the dreaded countdown would no longer be an issue - Looks like I'll be sticking to...

    Small F5 win but it is what I wanted.

    It would be nice if the passengers received their own entrance, rather than be forced to enter through the dingy cargo bay or disappointing crew section... Giving them their own bathroom facilities would also be a nice touch in any future rework. Oh, and maybe fix the hottub? (Maybe the reason...
