    Closed: WTB Eclipse BIS 2950 CCU or LTI but I'm not (quite) crazy enough to spend USD $700 :)

    !close Found one a little while ago and neglected to come back and say so. It’s gorgeous.

    does this mean that base building and crafting is closer than we think?

    That's right, I know it's potentially a bit confusing, but the end of the bar in the progress tracker does not mean the work is finished by that date, it just means the currently scheduled (and public) work will run up to that date. CIG typically take some time in January to plan out more work...

    When will the nerf hammer be on sale?

    Mirai Guardian theory crafting

    We can definitely use it for high velocity boarding, but probably only once.

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    Awesome. Best episode so far.

    Oh good lord. I love your imagination, that’s inspired, but don’t go saying things like that where Chris Roberts might get to hear them.

    WTB Warbond CCU: Prowler to 600i explorer

    @Doc Flanigan beat me to it, but if that doesn’t work out for whatever reason, I PM’d you too. 🫡

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    In the main hall at Tobin expo centre today some dude was running round firing a rifle! All the NPCs were running for cover and cowering. No clue how he managed to do that. (It wouldn’t let me carry my rifle, as normal). Anyway, CIG already sell knives and perhaps are about to sell swords, so...

    When CIG raises the price of a ship does it affect my buyback price?

    Fair point, but this is still a good question. My half-remembered answer would have been different to @Thalstan 's above, but what he said is correct. After a bit of searching (e.g.: About ship price increases and buybacks. : r/starcitizen ) the buy back price for something that has increased...

    IAE 2954 schedule

    Has anyone else noticed that while there's still an Apex and Zenith hall at IAE, instead of each manufacturer having their ships on display for 48 hours, each display is only open for 24 hours. The halls still alternate, so only one or other hall is open at once. I wonder why.

    POLARIS first look!

    We've also all got to get past the idea that we bought a Polaris/Idris/Javelin/whatever, so we're the captain and everyone will come crew for us. Maybe once, but not as a regular thing. Captain of a big team is a leadership and organizational role requiring skill, experience, rep with real...

    POLARIS first look!

    Well in the IAE show ep2 they pretty much say this is not what they want. If you can do it to someone else, they can do it to you too. I am warming to the idea that you need a big ship plus a bunch of smaller more specialized ships to crack a big enemy ship's defenses. That would prolong fights...

    Mirai Guardian theory crafting

    They're... umm, yeah. The first two (ep1, ep2) are an odd blend of almost funny trailers, blink-any-you-miss-it teases and each has quite a good interview with Rich Tyrer and John Crewe, plus a quickfire thing with Ben Curtis in ep1. They're worth a watch for those. The rest of the 'real'...

    CCU Chain questions

    Right. A CCU chain that saves money uses as many warbond (and discounted) CCUs as possible, which were probably acquired over the space of several months or even years. Chains might include lots of WB CCUs which were bought speculatively; without knowing when they would be used or exactly what...

    Crusader Intrepid

    No experience of crow, but presumably it tastes better still if you peel it first.

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    Yep, it is a tiny bit of a disappointment that the Guardian is not on sale during IAE's MISC day. But it is so heavily hinted that it's due to be released with 4.0 that they might as well just say so. CIG probably think they'll get more revenue in the medium term by selling it away from IAE...

    IAE 2954 schedule

    Aah, shame you didn't get it this time around, @Talonsbane. Since I don't think anyone answered this question here, the Idris upgrade kits are available at any time in the pledge store once you own an Idris. You can't pick them up when you're buying the Idris, so don't worry, you won't miss out...

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    Good points, @Thalstan. Agree with practically all of that. Yeah, my inner vision of what the game will be has had to change a bit. With some time I may come to appreciate the future they're now aiming for, but the idea of being off in the black, able to spend nearly all our time doing quality...

    Any guesses about a surprise ship this IAE?

    CIG may have a good November yet. Hard to compare 20 days of November this year before IAE with last year's November including IAE. The October comparison is easier, both having had Citizen Con. Supposing 3000 (that seems high?) US backers who attended Citizen Con in Manchester each spent...

    Need input on a new desk!

    Reasonable comment, but actually it’s alright. My small home office has one long side of this desk along the wall, and the other jutting out into the room, with a little space behind it next to where the door is, but that means I’m not facing a wall head-on when I work or play, and neither do I...
