    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    It's a shame how this one is working out - I had a few CCU chains that would have benefitted from gladius WB CCU's... Not that this was critical to them, but it would have been a nice bonus. Being the easiest ship in the pool to get (cheapest to buy or "free" with 10 referrals), having it win...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    There's certainly some nice ships in there, although quite a few there which I have no interest in (most of Pool A, for example). I can understand the MULE getting a few votes (possible in the belief\expectation that if it wins it will be a "referral" reward with LTI), but I'd rather see the...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    A minor detail: Isn't it the Freelancer MAX, not the base Freelancer (or generic Freelancer family of ships) which is in the contest (In the same way a specific Vanguard, 600i, Cutlass, Carrack, and Avenger are listed, not that "family" of ships)? On a side note, I wonder if the colours of the...

    On the topic of black and gold skins, this custom TEST Eclipse needs to be a thing!

    Strange: I would have expected a Test Squadron Aurora skin before one for any other ship...

    For the ROC miners among us

    If you don't mind the travel time, jumping to an OM once you collect your ROC\arrive with ROC, then heading towards the planet, aiming at the sunlit areas works well for a semi-random mining location - scanner set to 179, and fly towards the sun when at suitable scanning altitude to avoid...

    For the ROC miners among us

    That's what I've been doing with my ROC - grab it from a mining outpost (if not already loaded in a ship) and fly out to mine, then return to the closest mining outpost to sell what I had mined and to repair the ROC (or "claim" a replacement if it "died") before heading out again. For ships to...

    X-Mass at the ship terminals

    Not a problem - I used some surplus credits a few months back (before subscriber items were added to loot tables) to acquire the 6 different multi-tools in order to see what they looked like. I decided that the Mirage wasn't worthwhile, as it looks almost the same in inventory as a standard one...

    X-Mass at the ship terminals

    I thought everyone knew about the subscriber multi-tools being in the loot table. Last patch, they seemed to be in some outposts and the caterpillar wrecks, but they are very common at the new abandoned outposts. I've been tempted to collect them and use one colour for mining attachments, and...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    If looting outposts, large white crates have either armor or dolovine\misc items. The rare items are in the small square boxes along with misc items (no dolivine in these, based on tonight's "research"). I think you can clear on average around 50-60k of dolivine at each outpost if you loot every...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    I've been making regular visits to one of the abandoned outposts. It's random (maybe 1 visit in 4) whether NPC's are present or not, but the Nomad's guns tend to take them out reasonable quickly when they are present (and the tray on the back is useful for dumping bodies to loot direct to ship...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    I don't know how much of the problem is "loss aversion", and how much is something else... My thought is that the problem most people have was less the "loss aversion", and more a feeling of being punished for someone else's mistake - CiG handed out a "gift" to players, allowed everyone to be...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    Well, I've certainly been "punished" for buying ships with my windfall since they did a reset: Took pledge cutlass black out, loaded with loot from several mining outposts while doing an 8k redwind 3 box mission. Bought laranite at final stop (could afford around 6 SCU worth). Couldn't access...

    QUICK! Spend it all!

    The warning was appreciated - I hadn't planned to log on so early today, but saw the post and decided I'd better spend up - I just hated having to work out what to spend it on. Importantly, I had already purchased a ROC when the reset hit (Was buying armor when it snuck up on me, and suddenly I...

    3.17.2 IS LIVE!

    I logged off last night (3.17.1) with 5.7 million aUEC (1.9 from "audio visual equipment", 1 million from a giveaway on a stream - I'm a more relaxed player) and logged in to 3.17.2 with over 11 million. Now to work out what to spend it on (I wish you could buy a ROC at Area 18, not have to go...

    3.17.2 Should be going LIVE tomorrow

    On the plus side, by the time you're back the novelty factor of the new content will have likely worn off for many people, so there should be less competition for the missions\exploring the new additions.

    3.17.2 Should be going LIVE tomorrow

    It's a shame they couldn't explain how the credits were going to be allocated at the time they announced the upcoming wipe, rather than leaving it until the day before to let people know - There's probably quite a few players who missed out on "game time" during the time period due to either...

    Foundation Fest Free Fly and Roadmap Update

    Different people have different interests - Some people don't mind (or enjoy) doing repetetive things like "box" missions, cargo runs, bunkers, bounty hunting, or mining - The increase in wallet size isn't the aim (other than to "earn" a new ship to try the same\more activities in it instead of...

    Finally had a ship spawn into a hangar I could fly out of in first person

    I'm used to the cramped hangars - I tried a C2 loaner at one point (IAE last year?) and lost some paint leaving a hangar in it (strangely, I didn't like flying it because of the limited cockpit view, but the Freelancer Max I have since acquired (roughneck pack) has a similar view, but feels much...
