    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    Second choice on my MSR, "Free Trader Beowulf."

    Wow. Well that demonstrates the net code needs serious work, regardless of which behavior is correct.

    SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB vs Intel Optane 900P 280GB

    The Optane drive is not designed to be used as an SSD. It is designed to be a smart cache to speed up drive access for your other drives. Note, it only works that way if your Motherboard supports it. It should, as designed, make a spinning disk about as fast as an SSD. Yes, it does also speed...

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    I haven't seen that, though I am only at High Threat targets. By the time the bounty's friends show up, I am already leaving. Then, again, I open the engagement at 5500 meters with a CF-557.

    Ship naming - "my name is..."

    Yes, the MSR in the Scoundrel pack is bugged. I am in the same boat. :) On the other hand my Carrack is now named after the only person in my family tree, I know, that was an Explorer.

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    When you are killing them that fast, you are then waiting for the additional targets. Not worth the wait. :)

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    Haulers are not worth a crap at the moment. The quick sweet spot used to be around Connie/MSR/Freelancer Max, just stop, load up, fly to a TDD and sell. Sometimes I could fill my Carrack, but that usually required sitting around waiting for server ticks for load up. Now getting worthwhile cargo...

    Civilian Defense Force Mission

    I have found it earns money faster if you just kill the bounty then move on to the next bounty instead of bothering with the additional targets.

    Best Stealth Transport

    I ditched my sabre, but not because I don't love the Sabre, but because I only want one Carrier fighter, and I need the cell in the Hawk. :) Once we get some tier two bounty hunting ships, that may change.

    I also remember hearing 175.

    Notes from the Monthly Report

    This!!! They keep talking about Bounty Hunting but surrender was pushed off again.

    Oops, forgot that one. :)

    Best Bounty Runner

    Yes, the Vanguard is a great fighter, it kills things all day long. (I have one.) Yes, the Eclipse is extremely stealthy, but the Size 9 torps are not supposed to be good against Small and Medium Targets. (I have one.) Yes, the MIS has forward firepower and missiles, and is a great generalist...

    Before I am "Canceled" - Server Meshing - Fact or Fiction

    Actually AWS servers are designed to do that. Cryengine, and the spinoff Lumberyard isn't.

    Before I am "Canceled" - Server Meshing - Fact or Fiction

    The issue is that, while the servers are capable of doing the job, the software net code isn't. The game software needs to understand it can "push the button" and when it should "push the button."

    Mounted guns - Space drive by?

    When they were talking about mounted guns and taking them, this is what I thought of.

    Ship Names - is there a Test prefix?

    It's good to be the Queen.

    Mounted guns - Space drive by?

    For the inevitable encounter with Reavers, of course.

    opinion, will the M2 Hercules be worth buying? i bought the upgrade but haven't applied it yet

    The OP has a Carrack and a CCU from a 600i to an M2. Without a large outlay of money there is no C2 here. And that doesn't answer why you would want both a Carrack and an M2.

    opinion, will the M2 Hercules be worth buying? i bought the upgrade but haven't applied it yet

    The image with all the downward facing guns is the A2 not the M2. The M2 has two fixed Size 4 facing forward and mounted on top, a turret with two size 3 mounted rear facing and high and a turret with two size 3 mounted forward and low. I haven't seen an image that shows where the third turret...
