    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...

    Need input on a new desk!

    Some great suggestions already. Now for an expensive desk suggestion. Good office-grade furniture tends to be expensive, but more robust than anything but the very, very best (and also most expensive) gaming furniture. I'm totally delighted with my Herman Miller Ratio 120° sit-stand desk. Corner...

    Ode to TEST Squadron

    Well, I tried this prompt: A large glass of delicious cold beer in front of a neon sign saying clearly and exactly “free beer for NomadicHavoc” yeah, not quite, openart.ai. Though I haven’t really got a clue how to prompt it… bravo sir!

    Ode to TEST Squadron

    If that wasn’t from an LLM, well done!

    Charisma, or so my kids begrudgingly tell me with Olympic level eye-rolling.

    Aah, hope you got someone to help you makute. I only just saw this today 🙁

    Valakkar!

    Yes, welcome back DG! Watching that fight with the sandworm, I guess like other high level content it might be gated behind some rep, mission progression or gear check. But even so, is that a possible reason for players to keep a disposable alt character (one with few possessions, whose...

    Clarification on LTI by CIG

    I’m with you in the complexity thing, but that horse has well and truly bolted so we might as well embrace it. I like the clarification and added nuance about what the three insurance tiers and optional warranty (or automatic permenant warranty) mean. We can protect those ships and their...

    Montoya Reacts to Star Citizen End Game

    I was thinking the same. Can we all be in a global/top level test org which is rarely or never our main, plus up to ten Test sub-orgs, each affiliated with a guild. We choose one of those as our main org based on the profession we currently focus on, but we can switch which is our main sub-org...
