    Rolo's niece has a new ride

    Let's see if we can't entice her into watching the next one :-) She should be live by then on her own rig. I definitely want her to pick up Testie habits from you ladies... ...as a safer alternative to some of the forest animals around here. <_< >_> :-D

    Rolo's niece has a new ride

    So... I was accidentally browsing the Marketplace when this sweet little number caught my eye. Not for me. I already have a sweet little number (or 20...), but for my niece. So I casually asked if she'd like to get into Star Citizen (having baited the hook with a little stream a few weeks...

    Also note that the distances and fuel requirements in Sol were vastly higher (6.5 billion km) than the transit in Stanton (half a billion), though both routes were from outer system toward the middle. Stanton is by inference, a relatively compact system, certainly compared to Sol (Edit...

    It is definitely an Idris icon on the map. Yes. And the general rule of the bigger the ship, the slower the ship does suggest the Idris would take much longer transiting a system.

    Another thing to keep in mind is there are actually three types of fuel (all seem to be hydrogen-based): Boost fuel accumulated by onboard fuel intakes of varying efficiency, QD fuel which must be refined or purchased and Jump fuel (not yet in game) which will need further refinement and whose...

    Please do :-) I'm interested in what you find. Just a general impression, not verified yet, but I do think fuel units correspond roughly to Km travel in QD. That is, my 350r fuel capacity is 8 million *something*. As the tank must be quite small, I originally thought the units were in moles...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Thing is, I don't think they've released any *fixed* twin-link turrets... they are all gimballed whether you use it or not. :-P But us dual stick pilots can hope...

    ...additionally, the sizing (with the exception of the tigersteik on the Avenger) is reduced by 1 for gimbal and by 1 for twin link. So a gimbaled twin-link for s2 weapons would need a s4 hardpoint, not s3. A gimbaled mount on s3 HP lets you mount s2 guns. But twinning them would drop it to s1...

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Yes, you need a canard turret like the Mustang or Hornet or you need the twin-linked turret mentioned in several places recently, but not yet available. The hardpoint piping goes directly into *one* item - turret or weapon. It's up to the turret to split the feeds into multiple weapons.

    It's not so much the fuel cost in Credits as the fuel cost in Time. Taking the time to head for a CryAstro or find a Starfarer is time you are not running missions. So, especially in an org, if you can provide logistics, we all benefit greatly. But yeah, balance is key :-)

    Exploration Exploration Guide (What we know so far)

    I've been saying all along fuel will matter... The Cutlass with it's double fuel capacity will come into it's own. As will the explorer ships. I'll finally have to start trading off my long-range explorers for my lovely sexy 350r. Right now the 350r is the fastest way to wealth, running the ICC...

    afaik, twin-linked s2 turrets are not available generally. I don't see anyway to put 8 weapons on the Sabre's 4 hardpoints.

    Pimped your spaceship? Lets share information!

    Just a quick note... my cheap little Beta... so under appreciated. I put 4 x m3a (also vastly underappreciated) on my little minnie winnie and ran the ICC mission chain. Twice. Was surprisingly effective and more than a little fun. (Biggest problem is getting out... she's a jealous biwitch...

    Newb question

    The pick-up weapons around the verse aren't persistent. The ones you buy at Area 18 and Port Olisar with aUEC are persistent until the next wipe of aUEC (probably 2.5). The ones you buy on Voyager Direct with $ or UEC are persistent.

    Well, that sounds like a perfectly sane sense of humor to me... sane by the standards of this community, anyway ;-) Welcome, of course. Always nice chatting with you! ;-) (edit: Disclosure, my wife was born in Japan but adopted in the US as a toddler. I have a soft spot for Japanese women of...
