Also you previously could get *just* the C8->C8X upgrade for $20 if you had just a base Carrack. Not sure if this is still offered but it's what I did and don't regret the choice. C8X is surprisingly capable and is often my go-to ship for short errands. I almost always use it to run the 890J...

Woah, my wise Doppelganger here apparently! I'm certainly pretty excited to try out both the BMM and Polaris, but I too am leery of being able to use such large ships frequently in the longer term. I suspect I'll be using my Carrack a LOT for inter-system travel/exploration, and also my...

Agreed, excellent decision! The *next* one you should consider, probably by grinding the ~1M aUEC in-game for it, is the Cutlass Black if you ever want to branch out into a multi-crew play! Don't necessarily upgrade the Titan to it though; good chance you'll want to keep that Titan forever! :D

Can you still? I thought the BUKs were long gone so now you were stuck with the least-to-most expensive CCU path, being Warden -> Sentinel -> Harbinger.

Next wipe, CCU to a Warden, and then sit on a Warden-Sentinel CCU, but don't apply until we really know more what the 'final' version of the Sent will be like. . .

*Sort of.* However if, say, you have a level 2 crimestat, I've found the whole cycle of flying somewhere to buy a cryptokey, flying to a security depot, avoiding the turret, killing all the guards and hitting level 5 crimestat, and then taking the half hour necessary to clear ALL of those...

Lol, the CCU Game Plugin still knows what I originally paid for anything still stuck in my buyback just to help rub salt in the wound if I ever care to check!

I am quite sure this is not true; crimestats do NOT go down/away over time, and I'm not sure if they ever did. Level 1 you can pay the fine for, any more than that you either need to hack it away or just get shot down and do you time in prison.

While I *almost* agree, if I could only have one starter ship I'd keep the Titan over a 300er, mainly for the better in/egress of it. I think it remains the ONLY ship which you can access both via the cargo ramp AND directly to the cockpit, plus the cargo ramp provides some nice QoL. Packing a...

Shit I still have one in buyback; maybe I need to go re-snag it before a price increase happens. . .

I like this setup OR a size 5 laser cannon if you don't want to worry about restocking. Do not go size 5 repeater though, because then the damn pips don't line up, and I found the size 4 repeater to be lacking in DPS. FWIW. Self destruct if you lose a gun though because going all the way to...

Dear lord, SOOO glad I've been hanging on to all the important CCUs in the hangar since the Expo!

I'm actually kinda excited for the X-wing, er, Scorpius. Might finally be a worthy upgrade for my very-loved-yet-now-pretty-neglected SuperHornet. I always like the 2-seat fighter concept but could never warm up to the Hurricane for some reason.

Who's Tiara? 🥴

I think Merlins were once available with LTI also at the $25 mark, though I'd say the 'true' answer is the $0 referral bonus ships with LTI. I got both a Merlin and MPUV like that. Catch there though is while you can upgrade them, you can never melt them again!

On a sorta interesting relevant note, I played around with my 'Deemer loadout today and discovered that the capacitors for the pilot weapons and turret weapons are indeed different, as advertised. There's some interesting caveats with this though. Since the pilot controls the front remote...

Not yet, hopefully Soon*(TM). For now it's more of a 'cost avoidance' type thing as a method to stock up on replacement armor, weapons, ammo, etc. to avoid needing to buy all that after you die and lose it all!

It's decent; easy to land lots of hits on the Idris as well as fend of the larger fighters, but it's not a very tough pancake and I sometimes die just from smacking into something whilst strafing around the Idris or a HH. That coupled with the lack of interior limits its use in Xeno, and I find...

This anyone else's favorite part of the game to date? Got bits of everything: flying, dogfighting, FPS, multitool, capital ships, and wonderful comradery with random people teaming up to jump in turrets, lend multitools, shuffle cargo, fly cover, etc. Plus good paydays :D Highlight today was...

Good thread for the record! I didn't realize the game packages had changed up so much, no Reliant or 300s anymore? Crazy! Anyway, at a slight risk of repeating myself, my opinion is that the important starter ships are the ones that offer really good REASONS to help draw new players into the...
