He did say what his goals were: This screams starter/all-rounder, not smuggling specific, ergo the many suggestions of Titans/Nomads/Blacks/Lancers. I even admitted my bias for the 300 series while still recommending the more all-rounders until one has played enough to figure out their own...

Haven't played around with this yet and need to try it. I *think* I need at least a Prospector (only at asteroids, so ROC won't work, right?), find/mine the ore from an asteroid, then take it to an R&R to refine it, and then use a cargo ship to move the refined stuff to a big port to sell. Is...

^Truth! For 10 years running my opinion on this has never waivered: 1.) Start with an Avenger Titan. Hands down the best all-rounder solo starter ship. Nomad is probably a close contender, but especially for the price : capability ratio, the Titan can't be beat. 2.) Once you've done some of...

Yeah I wouldn't let the family open any presents Xmas morning until we'd first watched the launch. . . I swear I was the only one who didn't think Barbie Dolls were the most important thing going on that morning. . . :/

^This. Vanguard remains one of my favs for all those reasons. Great fighter, great turret, nice interior, etc. When you can grab the $10 upgrade to a Warden, and then a $15 Warden -> Sentinel but sit on that one until we know more about the E-war/etc. stuff.

$10 CCU from Ion to Warden. . . this guy was planning ahead!!! But I only grabbed two during IAE I think, shoulda got 20 to scalp on the grey market here this week, lol, oh well!

Sure! Prison wasn't the issue for me *this time,* but apparently it's a known-trigger for losing your Mobi, so I mentioned it. I'm pretty sure what I DID do was try to loot the Mobi off of a corpse. Apparently in the 'Verse it's OK to relieve the dead of all their clothing and equipment...

I understand this sentiment and have a similar dilemma. Though I never intend to fly my Polaris solo, my 'normal' playgroup size in usually only 2-3 people, and while much better than solo, I'm still not entirely sure this will really be enough to run/use the ship. I'm still absolutely in LOVE...

Good writeup, but leaves me with two questions: 1.) How does one go about 'microjumping?' Do you need someone in like a Herald that can quickly fly to the point you want, and then you jump to that player? Or is there a different way? 2.) Though I've seen it done, how in the heck does one go...

PSA for this thread, buy some extra Mobiglasses (at New Babbage) and keep them in you local inventor(ies)! I fell victim to the not-uncommon bug of losing mine (either while looting bodies or sometimes when you get out of prison). With Mobi usage being so critical to almost everything in the...

How on earth do you guys ever have the patience to walk that slowly for videos?!?! Or are your shift keys just broken? Also, how'd you get the last guy without it hanging at 1/10? Lol!

I've learned two important lessons from Apple in my life: - Refusing to use the international collaboration standard that is USB is being douchy just for the sake of being douchy (thanks ipod). - 'Buying' something that is digital means you're paying for access to something for an entirely...

This is pretty much the answer to the original question, but the flipside of that is that there are also plenty of *other* solo-able ships that one might generally grab over the 600i, so that's then the secondary question you need to consider. One other point in favor of the 600i though: don't...

FWIW, as much as I love my Oculus for games that are designed around it, I've honestly found the Tobii to be 95% as good for 5% of the hassle for the non-native flight sims. That said more screen real estate >>> less, so if you're down to a single 27" monitor. . . yeah that sucks and I see no...

^ This right here is pretty key! It's why I always keep a 300er and Vanguard in my fleet; they're just my favorites to fly around!

Actually my reasoning for this IS the hangar. I'm still committed to the Carrack because I'm pretty sure it'll be perfect to do solid, far reaching exploring with a smaller crew, say of like 3 people. I'm less confident that you can really operate either the Ody or Polaris with just 3, but...

That totally solidified a rather different question in my mind actually. My stance now is: Carrack = keep BMM = keep Open question: Odyssey vs. Polaris. . . ???

Good not to be in a rush, but when you're ready, my recommendation is to use that on 1-2 medium sized ships. I've found, and pretty confident it will remain so, that ships like the Cutlass, Freelancer, Vanguard, 400i, MSR, etc. maximize usefulness per dollar, and are what get pulled out and...

Jeez, I personally would think so! IMO Explorer has a lot more intersting going for it than the silly Touring variant, but hey just one Testie's opinion!

Lol, for sure! That's why I long ago upgraded mine to that Titan. After melting and then shortly re-buying the Titan like 6 times, I finally used the Merlin CCU to force myself to keep it locked in!
