D.S.E.T. - Deep Space Exploration Testies
- Thread starter mromutt
- Start date
I'm really looking forward to stacking my DUR on top of my Carrack and slamming the whole abortion into the smallest jump point we can find. For SCIENCE! And the Glory of TEST.
The only difference between blowing shit up and science is writing it down, so I will gladly watch and write down what happens to make this 100% scientific!
:o holly hell I wrote that whole thing without a single typo, I need a beer
Maybe perhaps you should have 3. Or 10. Science demands it.
I have a Dur, Aquila and will be getting a Carrack. deal me in.
Anyone know if the Retaliator will have deep exploration abilities?

I'm sure there will be something we can to make ships like that workable for exploration (fuel in the cargo bays)

I'll sign up! Bear in mind, these profession threads get me stoked for the game to release, so I end up signing up for a few. But you've got the best logo I've seen so far.
Have a Caterkiller which should be modular enough to manage a few different support roles as needed. Probably won't melt it unless it comes out of concept symmetrical. Also have a couple fighters if needed, but I tend to melt them repeatedly to try out whatever becomes flight ready. Until game mechanics surrounding exploration are better defined, I don't expect I'll pull the trigger on a dedicated explorer ship of my own.
Happy to crew. I'm easy. Mechanic, medic, gunner, cannon fodder, creepy uncle. Whatever is fun.

So I was just thinking about analyzing the things we find out there, what types of scanners, ships and equipment do you think is best suited for this? We will have a mix of pure exploration ships, science vessels and plain utility ships. For example some have an endevour and this can scan and break down data to be sent back, but would it be good to find out if an asteroid belt we found had profitable materials that the mining guys could get? Or the starfarer surely it has scanners that would be more tuned for this kind of analysis? What do you all think? Its a great topic to discus.
Sign me up! I plan on starting out with exploration with my Connie Phoenix (which I plan on modding) and maybe do exploration tourism (if the game allows such a thing) then move my way up to deep space exploration once I get my own Carrack. I also plan on running cargo resupply for exploration space stations with my Freelancer Max or for large scale resupply I have a Hull C available. I also have a Redeemer if it would be helpful for an escort.
I'm very interested. But I need to add a few more ships to my hangar first. I have my Penguin. And I think I want the DUR. I might even go 315 for exploring. Still haven't made up my mind. Unless I join up as a crew member on a larger ship.
I am hoping this will be a great area of the game so would like to be involved in exploration. I have a mix of ships but the Aquila for exploring.
Me and my 315p would liek to join the Party.
And if you're looking for someone to do science on your ship (like for example the Sen) , i'm also interested.

I will supply duct tape and a good supply of beer. if you need a copilot I volunteer.
Done! However, I no longer have the DUR. It became a Beerfarer. So that's what's going to be duct taped onto the Carrack now. Bigger abortion. More beer. Better explosion.
You have enough tape?
too big a waste of beer using a beer farer. we tape my dur to your carrack. I just realized a flaw to my evil plan though. I was going to record it and use it as my intro show to my star citizn space balls epic series. was going to call it "Testies" but that's the name for our exploration branch. back to the drawing board on the name. lol
got it, your now our official cargo specialist. congratulations for the OIV (obligatory involuntary volunteer).
For the most part I was planning on being the tech specialist/repair guy when not running my helm/making plans
That almost sounds like team work. I like it. Our volunteer @mromutt best have lots of duck tape.
Ha. He was 'voluntold'. That's how it happens in the army: "you. Yeah you. You just volunteered to go scrub pots for the day."
