    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Based on past years, expect a "Best in show" package at IAE (possibly only the last few days) containing the following: Total "value" of ships is $1145 ($45 + $240 + $260 + $600) making the package cost: Warbond - Approx $975 Credit - Approx $1085 As the credit package is over $1000, expect...

    Pirate week sale

    I'm trying to put together some reference material on ships\packs which I haven't been able to find available anywhere else (It's currently in planning\personal reference, but I hope to have something public ready in the near-ish future) and have hit a snag: The details of any packs or...

    Using Voice Attack to transfer inventory

    You can get it to do other things as well... I'm curious how well it works as a substitute for having to remember keybinds, as it'd be easier for me to say what I want to do than to try and remember the required key and then find it when I need to do something in a hurry, particularly when...

    Using Voice Attack to transfer inventory

    Does anyone have experience using the HCS voicepacks for Voice Attack, and if so do they provide any benefit\improve the game at all? I'm tempted to get 1 (or 2 with the buy 1, get one 1/2 price sale this month), but wasn't sure if they added all that much to the game.

    Fleet planning and CCU questions

    That's why I figured I should ask so many questions... There's always the possibility that something changed (like this) that I hadn't noticed but someone else had, as well as wanting confirmation before melting stuff. I'm guessing my "credit" bought CCUs that have no savings at present, and...

    Fleet planning and CCU questions

    Thank you for the clarification on 6) - I must have misunderstood what had been posted in the replies - The pictures certainly helped clarify it. With regards to 3), I was under the impression that the x% discount (10% off Mustang Alpha and 15% off Arrow starter packs on sale at the moment)...

    Fleet planning and CCU questions

    Thank you, everyone, for the information. To clarify what I have understood: 1) Don't melt WB CCU's (those that save more on price than the cost\melt value) unless you know you'll never need them. 2) Don't upgrade the Referral "reward" LTI tokens unless I'm sure I want the final ship I upgrade...

    For the ROC miners among us

    It's not 80 SCU, it's 80 cSCU, or 0.8 SCU (100 cSCU = 1 SCU)... The units can be a little confusing when getting started.

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I wonder how many people looked at this before voting over the past few days:

    Fleet planning and CCU questions

    These are probably stupid questions (although, given that I don't know the answers, other new players will likely be wondering about some\all of these as well), but in order to plan out my future fleet and reclaim items from buyback before potential IAE price changes, I was wondering: 1) If...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    If they are going to make travelling through the "server" area a requirement (rather than having a specific room to one side where they are stored, or placing them in the tunnel system), I'd prefer to see them lining the sides of the corridor to the cockpit along the tunnel - The layout of the...

    For the ROC miners among us

    If there is a 30k, or a client crash and the ROC is stored within a ship, the ROC's inventory is not guaranteed to be saved, while the inventory of the ship carrying it is thanks to recent 30k protections added to the game, so it's a form of insurance against these occurrences. Also, sometimes...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I'm not a fan of the MSR (having to transit "server room" between cockpit and outside of ship, long "tunnel to cockpit", and wasted space for "secret" passages among the reasons for this), but also don't really think that the RAFT should have been included this year (despite enjoying mine) as...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I figured this would likely be the case when I voted (not long after the poll opened), but voted for the 600i regardless as I don't care about the skins: The 600i would have given better options for WB CCU chains and solo play, but I can see the appeal of some of the features of the Carrack -...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Tomorrow's choice will be a difficult one for me... Whichever ship wins gets to the final 4 and so should have discount WB CCU's at IAE: Do I pick the ship I want a "last mile" CCU for, or should I pick the ship I received today to try and get a skin for it?

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    It was a clever move by CiG to put the Pisces up against the Mule, particularly if they were trying to prevent a repeat of last year's "meme" choice: Removing the PTV from the possible ships so close to the voting minimized the time available to "redirect" those focussed on it to vote for the...

    Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)

    These new suits could almost become a substitute for both the Pembroke (-75 to +225) and the Novikov (-225 to +75) suits, as they have a temperature range from -150 to +175 degrees. While not as good as either individually, they could make a reasonable "single suit" option to avoid having to...

    Using Voice Attack to transfer inventory

    It seems that my post about this has gone into hiding - https://testsquadron.com/threads/auto-looting-and-auto-selling.19827/ I've been using it for a couple of months, and it does make things easier - I just wish it wouldn't occasionally change the multi-tool being carried, or the helmet being...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Interesting that the difference stayed at around the 3k mark throughout the voting period (The first "scores" I saw were 10k Vs 7K). I'm sure nothing untoward was going on there...
