Great question. It'd be tough to get a reliable way for this to work at the moment, because of the obstacles. None seems insurmountable, but together they add a lot of friction to the process. Finds like that are very rare. (My best ever was a trio of rocks, one 45% quant, two at 28%. My mole...

Loudguns is one of the leaders of a mining-focussed org called Frontier Consolidated, and he makes pretty good videos including mining tutorials and strategy/org building stuff. He posted this one a few days ago, discussing what they learned from being unexpectedly on the wrong end of a piracy...

Well said - that makes good sense.

Saw this old Reddit thread, and it got me thinking. I‘ve spent a lot of time grinding quantanium for aUEC In my MOLE. I’m getting into PvE bounty hunting, and at least my bank balance is going up not down while I pew pew. It‘s fun because it’s fairly quick and it’s new. But when I think back...

I've never tried a Nomad. I'll report back if I rent one and try it out with my ROC, but based on this thread, I think getting a ROC in and out of it all day is going to be frustrating. There are enough bugs with the ROC as it is - disappearing into the planet, running out of fuel, rolling over...

Mining quantanium in an Argo MOLE solo at HUR L3, refining it at CRU L1. I average about 700k an hour, including breaks to refine (dinyx solventation method) get water/food and a weekly run to Area 18 to sell the refined quant. Tutorial video by Loudguns: View: https://youtu.be/yNU11dFBcE8 I’m...

Aah, of course, the Carrack is subscriber ship of the month - yes, I am a subscriber just now. Good call. However, I'm pretty sure I never bought an Arrow and I'm positive I didn't buy a second Sentinel - I only just bought the first Sentinel about six days ago. It represents about a week's...

I'm clearly not the only one to have extra ships showing up in ASOP terminals in game, but after a bit of Googling I'm not too convinced by any of the answers people came up with. I can see the following ships in an ASOP terminal just now. (And yes, I'm appropriately ashamed about how many ships...

Yup, once, in 3.11 or 3.12. Surreal. Wasn’t as hot as you’d expect. Wish I’d tried an EVA inside, but didn’t think of it at the time. [Edit 01Jul2021: now I think about it, I believe this was right after a server or client crash (I didn't understand the difference at the time - not 100% sure I...

From that second vid on 18 April 2021, it's a mix of 6 x Arrester III missiles on 2 x MSD-423 racks and 2 x Assailant IV missiles on 2 x MSD-414 racks. 2 x Nightfall coolers. 2 x Eclipse power plants. A Rampart and an Umbra shield gens. 1 x Absolution Distortion Scattergun (size 5), 4 x GVSR...

Fair enough! It does seem that way, but I don't have an explanation either. I suppose parts of a large target ship may be >600m away and thus its hitbox intersects the shell of the EMP pulse, when the target marker says it's closer than that?

That's awesome - nice vid, and going by the upload date 25 Jun 2021 it's current for 3.13. Also, even nicer tactical explanation of what's happening. It seems anyone could orbit and hit a target similarly well with just a little practice, and it all seems quite calm and methodical too. I was...

Thanks all, very interesting and it will be fun to see how these mechanics evolve as the game matures. I am looking forward to using this Sentinel build as part of a wing for a long range cap ship attack some day. But to come back to one part of my initial premise for asking those questions...

Nice. Alpha kill?

Good review, thanks for sharing. Have been using a Tobii Eye Tracker 5 since mid December; six months. I haven't played with the settings very much, and only in SC's menus. Didn't touch the curves or settings in the Tobii software at all yet - didn't need to. I found I like to only keep head...

Great answers, @vahadar and @Cugino83. Thank you.

Congratulations (sort of) and welcome (definitely)!

I have a vague notion of how stealth mechanics are intended to work in Star Citizen, though it's incomplete and imprecise. And I get that they will likely evolve and change quite a bit over time. But how would you use stealth for, say PvE bounty hunting in a Vanguard Sentinel? Here are some...

Virpil seem to have a backlog of Alpha preorders all the time, and I guess it is sort of self-limiting because lots of potential buyers also don’t want to wait. I pre-ordered and had to wait just under five weeks for mine to arrive, including a few days languishing in UK customs waiting for...

Hi @Starscribe, TL;DR, don't. At least, I did, and I wouldn't recommend it for SC. I have a Warthog HOTAS and it’s a nice enough piece of kit, which I enjoyed using for ED and flight sims a few years ago. It's very heavy and solid and well made, but it is EXPENSIVE, and it really isn’t optimal...
