    Got my PTU invitation, don't know what to expect.

    You can join the Alpha 2.0 playtest on the PTU. Head to the RSI website, log in, and go to your account overview. On the bottom is "Public Test Universe", go there and copy your account over. Next, fire up the patcher and when you log in, you should have another tab that says "PTU". You can...

    Anyone else notice the "pipes"?

    All ships come with the following repair kit in the glove box; I think the Vanguard is for me! Them tales of flying back to base with 1 engine and 60% of the craft gone...my kinda boat!

    Phoenix + Hull C or a Hull E?

    Thanks for the input all, stuck with Phoenix and Hull C :P Not even sure how you could procure 100k SCU in cargo anyways hehe. Can always upgrade later in the Verse

    Anyone else notice the "pipes"?

    Was watching a video with the Vanguard in 2.0, noticed the first exposed pipe system I've seen. Since the pipe system is what ties the whole ship's power grid together, I imagine repairing damage taken will involve repairing those exposed pipes and panels with the hand repair tool. Here's a...

    Phoenix + Hull C or a Hull E?

    Hey all! Need some input; I currently have a Phoenix and a Hull C. However, the more I look at the Hull E, I think it may warrant cashing them out to grab that instead. On the upside, I get a MASSIVE freighter, truly massive. Roles for that would be mass transport for the Corps as well as for...

    Fire tablets for HUD's?

    Wait, Kindle Fires? If so, I never had the ad thing you're talking about. Just a basic tablet. But this does raise questions. Has there been any mention of this type of integration? I can say, it would be amazing for immersion as well as handiness (I'd put my shield screen there so I can reach...

    Random image thread

    A not so random image for my French brethren. For reference, Marquis de La Fayette (his actual name was Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier!) was a French military officer and a hero to the Americans in the Revolutionary war. He was the primary man responsible for French intercession...

    Anniversary Sale - Shameful Purchases Thread(Altar of Roberts)

    Well, it is pretty limited. IIRC, 5000 sold before, plus the 5000 now, so effectively you'd be one of less than 1% of Citizens to own one (over a million citizens, plus I have no doubt some people have more than 1 AND some people have melted theirs). Pretty ritzy. I do know they'll be available...

    Anniversary Sale - Shameful Purchases Thread(Altar of Roberts)

    Nothing too shameful. I just got a Hull C. Brings my lineup to; Vanguard - Combat/All purpose Reclaimer - Salvage Carrack - Explorer to FIND the salvage! Orion - Love the thought of being a dedicated miner Hull C - Shipping said salvage and ore :P Really, I love the idea of being a "working...

    Anyone play some Overwatch this weekend?

    That's for the deluxe version. You can get the basic one, without the extra skins, for $40. It is a great game, I feel it's polish and the support it will receive post release, in addition to the Ranked Play Mode, makes it worth the purchase. I kinda do with it was free to play and you had...

    Anyone play some Overwatch this weekend?

    I'm a pretty eclectic gamer, once I've been anticipating is Overwatch. Got in for the weekend stress test, played...well...probably more than I should have! In any case, for those who don't know, it's a character- or class-based 6v6 shooter from Blizzard, currently in closed beta. If anyone has...

    Scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch.

    Honestly, I think scotch is vastly overpostured for what it is. For sure, it's a decent quality whisky by it's design(since Scotch must come from Scotland so there's no cheap knockoffs), but in the end it's just peaty whisky. I'm not sure how it got the reputation as a "classy" beverage, but...

    TESTies get a special rooms when they spawn in ALpha 2.0...porno mags and booze, and possibly urine on the floor?

    A little Derek Smart Copy-Pasta

    Go read his twitter feed. It's almost sad. He's so genuinely disconnected from reality, I believe there is actually something wrong with him. This is totally not a jab at him, I think he actually believes what he's saying but damn...this dude is both completely full of himself and monumentally...

    2.0 PTU Limited released tonight!

    Hah, I guess they did a free for all "Get in while you can" thing. I'm sure stability will get better, but right now with that initial thousand trying to log in...kek. Good luck, sir, make some videos for us!

    2.0 PTU Limited released tonight!

    So, Erin confirmed the PTU is going live for a few backers tonight. They're only picking backers who are active on the issue council and involved in bug reports. Still, pretty awesome, probably see normal joe schmoe backers added in a few weeks! /hype

    No Cutlass, No Pirates?

    Long post as response, TL;DR at the end. I'm confused, we have nothing in "it's weight class" to compare it's handling to. I mean, it's got higher mass than a Freelancer by a decent margin. How can we possibly judge how "well it handles" when the only thing we have to compare it to are...

    No Cutlass, No Pirates?

    I think people are stuck with the idea that CIG is completely changing the design of the Cutlass, even though they're really not. The biggest complaint I keep seeing repeated is "Ermagerd, more than 1 crew?!?" even though CIG has said that even much larger ships are flyable with one man and AI...
