    Adventures in 3.0 Episode 2

    Really enjoying 3.0 here as well. Shipping was not as profitable today but it was enjoyable, seems hardererer to earn the closer to a million aUEC you get - market saturation causing commodities fluctuations or some nonsense like that - of course I only go between Cellin, Yela, Daymar and...

    I am weak, bought a cheap GPU

    So probably 4 sessions today, never hit the glory of yesterday with the 30 FPS, but even at 12-18 it is much smoother than before and is playable, combat at 15 FPS is my minimum since I can still land shots. I suspect I was seeing maybe 2/3 of the indicated FPS I had before because there is a...

    Urban Sprawl has reached Port Olisar

    I think due to the longer time before ships are stored to allow/encourage trading, we are seeing some real traffic congestion at the spawning and landing sites. By my count there are 36 ships in this image, my Connie makes 37. At Levski there were 10 plus my Penguin What is TESTie to do...

    Group Offroad Saturday - Ursa's, and Dragonfly's and Noxii, oh my!

    @marcsand2 the Ursa was glitchy when I tried it in PTU, the doors to cockpit are wonky 'Gimp

    Group Offroad Saturday - Ursa's, and Dragonfly's and Noxii, oh my!

    Let's schedule a TEST Offroaders Club event for Saturday, - let's DRIVE/RIDE out to the Javelin husk on Daymar. Bike Riders and Ursa Drivers/Passengers can swap to keep everyone's O2 tanked up if we all travel as a group (I think the Ursa recharges O2). We will first need to get...

    Component Upgrades

    Thanks @marcsand2. The question is will any component changes make a measurable difference in the current PU build - looking at the differences between Grade 1 and Grade 3 equipment it appears there are gains to be had, IF they are currently implemented, e.g., shields for hp and regen rate...

    I am weak, bought a cheap GPU

    Just spent a couple hours shuttling goods around the Stanton System in my Connie, much bigger pucker factor than the Penguin, last run netted over 150K aUEC, not bad for a medium weight freighter that does double duty as a gunship, and that wasn't even full but I hit my pain threshold for bank...

    Montoya DESTROYS MassivelyOp's editors

    I respect your opinion and direct experience Glorious Leader - but the only thing that I thought was interesting in that combat was the player having to divert attention from combat to repair, THAT was an interesting dynamic that I know we'll eventually get in SC - the rest seemed like a...

    Montoya DESTROYS MassivelyOp's editors

    I watched some of the Youtubes that was some Elite Dangerous faction engaging some flying Yucca plant looking thing called a Thargoid or something, it was embarrassing in terms of dynamic combat, it was nothing like what we have had in the Alpha version of SC, literally incomparable and...

    I am weak, bought a cheap GPU

    So found a lightly loaded server and was solid 30 FPS for over an hour, it was so beautful, even at Levski I was averaging 20 which let me explore the whole facility, my God the details - so F'ing cool. Only issue is no trading console would recognize my Penguin as available, it showed up along...

    I am weak, bought a cheap GPU

    So the slideshow framerates finally got to me yesterday and after my knee rehab appointment I tripped and fell into Fry's Electronics where I accidentally picked up a 4GB GTX 1050Ti. Now some interesting observations care of MSI Afterburner. I have seen my GPU usage go from essentially...

    Component Upgrades

    Now that Dumper's Depot and similar are a thing, I overhead some voice chat about changing components for improvements but was not involved and as such didn't pay much attention. Are we now able to begin customizing our equipment loadouts on our ships with actual changes in cooling, or...

    Has anyone driven a rover to the Jav husk on Daymar?

    I flew out to Daymar and spawned a Dragonfly and it did indeed start zooming up, so I turned the engine off and it began to descend and at what I thought was a safe distance above the ground I turned the engine back on and it soft-landed and was essentially controllable, but only just so, after...

    Port Olisar Point Defense Guns

    There were from PTU but I could't find them last time I looked. Maybe your Google-Fu will be mor esuccessful. It was epic, literally power on and lift-off and then all hell breaks loose. 'Gimp

    Trade value spreadsheet

    The Titan is a nice stealth freighter, doesn't draw as much attention, and can still put in a 50-70K aUEC run depending on type of cargo. Looking forward to trying the Connie out though. 'GImp

    Has anyone driven a rover to the Jav husk on Daymar?

    I support this notion - although I am not seeing my Aquila Loaner nor my Ursa lately - but I know I have a couple Dragon Fly's. Let us make this happen. Gimp

    Last night 3.0 play through was AWESOME

    Had 2 great experiences today, both over an hour, no crashes and FPS consistently near 15 except at Port O, GH and Levski - BUT, I had playable FPS at Levski for the first time ever, and was able to buy and equip some weapons before filling the Penguin with diamonds for the return trip to Port O...

    Where is my URSA Rover?

    In the hangar you need to find a vehicle size 1 spot, close to the doors and outside the main pad in Revel and York, one on the right side for sure. 'Gimp
