A good question. I think the one with the long hands - Butt-Scratcher, a Cyan-Red Buttscratcher more precisely. The real creepy one needs a proper scientific term... like ... Noobus Vulgaris maybe 🤔

Yeah, real creepy! 😱

Hi All, I've been doing some exploration when suddenly some aliens appeared. They had large heads and very long thin arms. So, I have immediately treated them with a beer and took some photos. It seems that these aliens have appeared after a box of beer. This subject, however, still requires...

Here is another one. A 2020 Christmas and New Year Easter Egg I suppose (just wondering if there will be an Easter Easter Egg). I've found this one when wandering around New Babbage on MicroTech during the 3.8 update, while the planet and the city appears unpopulated. Seems like a cosy place to...

Came across the article about TORTOISE SIMULATOR 2948 at a book store at ArcCorp - just by the lifts to hangars at Riker Memorial Space Port. There is the "Lorem Ipsum" text printed on the same page. Did you know, that Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry and...

That might explain the 3 decks on the elevator screen. Well, I guess we just wait and see when the Carrack is flyable.

I guess this comes to personal preference. While it is true that a smaller size ship would have reduced operating cost, could go through smaller jump points, and have other perks of a smaller ship, at the same time it loses the benefits of a larger ship, like range, trip duration...

Also, it's worth pointing that Kraken P, BMM and Hull have different purposes and can't be compared solely on the basis of cargo capacity. Kraken P is a space station with landing pads and shops, where you can trade in space, on orbit, or on planet surface. To me Kraken P is akin to a mobile...

Hi All, I was wondering if you ever stumbled across something funny, like a sign, an item, etc. Because I see those things in the game every now and then. Sometimes it's an intended design, sometimes developer's placeholders, and sometimes just something that looks fun. Maybe we should pull...

I can see that with the Carrack campaign the motto says "Rise Above". I remember that it used to be "Nothing But Power". Has the motto changed or is it just the ad slogan?

Well, it's an interesting question. Dangerous trade routes. I guess to compare the ships you may want to approach this from a different angle than just by looking at numbers on paper/spreadsheet. I would ignore the escorts for now, as the aim is to compare the ships. With escorts you can hire...

I guess the stealth and speed may be the reason: strafing and firing without giving away their position. The Demeco is great in terms of the longevity, and it may well be very useful in prolonged encounters, where you could fall back and heal, and re-engage, since you will run out of ammo very...

I've just been watching something on YouTube when I've realised that it's relevant to some points that were made in this thread. This relates to the effective range. We have been discussing things like how come a rifle only has an effective range of 50 meters, when the common sense is that...

That's the TEST spirit! However, there is still room to improve. For example, I can see that landings are not done in the TEST style, i.e. on the roof. 🤣 🍻

In the current state it appears that the difference between the F7C and F7C-M is very small, and the only key difference is the second seat. In the past, around version 2.6.0 the difference was quite significant and the Super Hornet was well worth it's money, as the SH would be a direct...

Sure, please add the TESTing results and expand the knowledge base 🍻

An update with some more TESting: A flare appears to stay alight for 30 minutes +1-2 minutes. Tested a few, none were alight for less than 30 minutes, always more for 1-2 minutes. Another TEST on caves versus Active search on planetary surface: 2 hours scanning for minerals on 3...

I've got one. I believe instead they should have sent an e-mail offering to upgrade one's existing ship to the glorious and mighty Aurora!

On a subject of minimaxing and availability of a ship that can scan for resources. If you want to try your luck, you may try to scan planetary surface for minerals. Sometimes you get clusters of mineral veins, and other times you scan for a long time and get nothing. In a cave I believe you...

On the subject of Terrapin. It can detect resources: ore and minerals, just doesn't tell you what it is. It's only getting confusing when there is ore with minerals on it, otherwise it's pretty simple: a big chunk of rock - should be ore; a small stone or a group of stones - must be minerals...
