    It's been bugging me for a while, but what's the arm on the Pioneer for?

    I'm just going to put it down as the Pioneer's Flapping Arm for now then. God knows there's not much else to do while waiting for the ship to reach it's destination.

    It's been bugging me for a while, but what's the arm on the Pioneer for?

    Been scratching this itch for a while, but in the recent Jump Point, they showed several alpha designs that had the hull of the Pioneer extend along the arm when it's deployed, allowing it to deploy the module within the hull. However, in the current design, it just seems to extend out to the...

    Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

    If they decide to close CCU's for the sale, I'm sure many backers are going to flip, especially those that plan on using that BMM for a 0 dollar upgrade. Some person on Reddit already asked and was just told yes it'll be available, however it was noted that that reply doesn't mean that all CCUs...

    Lore: somewhat out of place

    Reminds me of the Tank Girl movie, where they used water extractors on humans. Honestly though, water is a constant resource as pointed above, since if you drink it, you piss, sweat or bleed and it returns to the air. if the desertification is causing the air to dry up there must be something...

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    Hmm does anyone remember if quantum and jump fuel can be refined or scooped from say a gas giant? Were they all going to need a land/ship based refinery aka the Nostromo? Just a thought, if say I want to jump into unexplored alien space and need to refuel where no refueling station has gone...

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    Maybe it was my misconception then. I always thought the snubs and small ships would not get a jump drive, thus the need of hauler vehicles to lung them around for races etc. But it's good to have a confirmation that these little ones are jump capable now.

    Small Ships all have Jump Drives now?

    So I was browsing the new ship matrix, and what caught my eye was that all the small ships like the Razor and the M50 all are jump capable now. If this is true and not a matrix screw up, this opens up some other career options for speedsters.

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    TBH I think the issue here isn't whether the SSD is too expensive or not, but whether the ship is only available through purchasing the SSD. There's two ways this could go in terms of how exclusive the Saber Raven would be. Either Intel funded full development costs on top of all their other...

    Citizencon 2017 post show thoughts

    What got me was the Footprints In The Sand panel. And after the keynote presentation, this hit me: As I walked through 2.6.3, I looked back and saw only one set of foot prints in the sand I cried out to CIG "Robert, you said that if I followed you, you would walk with me all the way. But I...

    Pioneer presale is up, only a small amount remaining

    There's going to be warbond in the sale on friday too, and the numbers unsold today will roll over as per the text "Pioneers not sold during the pre-sale will be included in the War Bond allotment for the full sale." Gonna wait for the credits version so that I can use the credits I got from...

    Consolidated Outland Pioneer

    From the way the previous ship prices were posted on the thread, 850 should be the standard credits usable price, with the warbond price released during the sale. Both should be limited in numbers according to previous releases. Sucks that they are still playing the 'limited release' game though.

    Fresh drama! The story of the $45k refund!

    That's awesome man! Sorry to hear that you had to refund your fleet, but you got your priorities right. It's really good to hear that CIG is so supportive of their backers too! I'm sure that by the time the game reaches beta, you'll have sorted out what ships you really need, and gotten them back.

    X01 sale Friday Sept 29th

    I feel that they are slacking off on the 'futuristic' designs department. I won't mind seeing a ground vehicle that looks like this in the game. http://dendrobiummotors.com/

    New player struggling with vandel swarm

    If you are using a mouse and keyboard it's good to check out some of the keybindings and how to fly videos online. There's various tricks you need to know to be effective using M&K, besides getting the feel of the controls, such as learning how decreasing and increasing your speed affects the...

    600i Q&A

    From what I can tell on Spectrum, the mods have been taking note of all the angst that have been posted on the 600i, so probably further down the line we might see an updated Q&A part 2 for the 600i, or even a redesign to address all the comments. At the moment, all we have confirmed is that it...

    600i Q&A

    Seems like the only advantage it has is that it can go somewhat faster in a straight line. However it still can't outrun most fighters, so it'd be a nice looking fat target for pirates if it's without fighter escorts.

    I am now an official oracle of all things 3.0

    Tell me oh Oracle, will there be a countermeasure to the countermeasure to the countermeasure of the anti lock device? Will we finally end up with a ship that is all door and no ship?

    WE ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE!

    The galaxies guide to the human race. Visit the far reaches of space. Explore new worlds. Meet new alien species. And eat them. Sometimes I wonder, did the guy who wrote "To Serve Man" meant it as a joke, or as a cautionary tale to alien species on how humans can regard foreign lifeforms.
