    Welp...dropped $850 on some new hardware for my rig...

    I got a decent rig right now, AMD FX-8320, 32GB ram, NVidia 980ti... But my CPU was really starting to hold me back. I wasn't sure what to get, ended up springing for an i7 6700k. Apparently, they OC up to about 5Ghz fairly easily with proper cooling. Also picked up a new mobo (needed for the...

    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...

    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...

    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

    Disco Lando interview...2.0 may be closer than we think!

    He really emphasized two things; 1) 2.0 could be dropping very soon (I got the feels it might be on PTU within a few weeks! (tm) ) 2) Sometimes, CR says things that he wants that may not actually happen. He said something long the lines of "Don't take CR's intentions as a promise". It's stuff...

    Any tabletop wargamers?

    Probably not a huge crossover between tabletop wargames and Sci-fi vidya, but who knows? I'm a long time wargamer, started with Warhammer 40k some odd 15 years ago. Played mostly Eldar for a long time. I got super fed up with GW in the mid 2000s and switched to Warmachine and home brew 40k. I'm...

    Looking to buy...erm...not SC stuff -.-

    Hey! I'm a US Marine stationed out in Japan. Looking to find a buddy to do me a solid. My favorite brand/flavor of dip is Copenhagen Mint but the stuffs impossible to get out here in Okinawa, not available online, and when it is it doesn't ship to a Military Post Office. Looking for someone to...

    CIG Contacts List Thread

    Hey mates! Thought it might be kinda nice to see if anyone wants to get added to contact lists for SC matches and, soon, Social Module meetups. I've started this thread and will aggregate responses and RSI Handles up in the first post to it's easy to know who wants to get added as a contact...

    Discord popped for a virus on AVG

    Anyone else had that issue? The file was one of Discords files, not the main .exe, but I went ahead and quarantined it to be safe...

    What's your ideal ship look like?

    Curious what you all picture as the perfect ship. Obviously, everyone has their own concept. For me... +2-3 Crewman (enough for companionship with other players, or NPCs...it'll get lonely all by myself!) +Long Ranged (I would hate having to constantly refuel after single jumps and DEFINITELY...

    Graphics Card Woes

    Allright you degenerates, let's talk GFX Cards! I've been on Red Team for the better part of a decade and am thinking it's time to switch. NVidia beats AMD out in nearly every category, except price, but honestly as someone who's dumped over a grand into an internet spaceship game that hasn't...

    Got a Reclaimer!

    Apparently, there was a sale for them with LTI in Feb, I was out of the country. Just wanna say, Alexis is pretty baller, she hooked me up with a one-time code to buy one. Current status; Reclaimer LTI, Redeemer LTI, Carrack LTI! Salvage, Exploration, and shooting stuff. I've been out of the...

    Less than an hour till Carrack goes on sale...

    Who's rogering up as an explorer? I AM! Way I see it, Exploration will be most exciting RIGHT OUT of release. A while back CR said something about players getting to name first time discoveries like new planets, asteroid belts, or Jump Points. Very exciting. I think I'll be an Explorer for the...

    Anyone using a Warthog HOTAS?

    Thinking about dropping for one, I like the fact that it's an all metal construction. Anyone use one with SC? Are the built in profiles decent?

    I picked up a Drake Caterpiller(which I will probably end up melting tbh) and a Retaliator. Grabbing the Carrack on the 28th too. What'd y'all pick up?
