How do you play Star Citizen when you're traveling

[ColdDog]

I don't know about you folks, but playing SC on the road is a pain. Yes, I have a good laptop... but my network at the hotels suck. So, how do you play when you're out of town - except if you live in Canada like BO. jk. Any network tips or tricks? Let us know.

Hey! I resemble that comment! Haha

And why does your pull not have "I am Blind Owl" as a choice? Poll fowl!

Honestly, I don't even try to play it when I'm on the road. If I'm away on course or something though like last year for 3 months, I play it on my laptop, no problem. I actually used a 5mbs internet connection and had no issues. I also played Star Marine hot-spotted to my phone: that wasn't so bad either.

(The bit you need to be concerned with if you're traveling, is the 1.5 Mbps throughput)

There is a substantial gap between *my* definition of "High Speed Internet" and the definition that Hilton and Marriott uses.

I travel a moderate amount and always assumed I'd be "on leave" from SC while traveling. I tried using my laptop once and it was an utter failure. Of course, my laptop is old, and I have requested budget for new hardware in Q1 of '18. :)

Remember the 56k dialup modem... man, we were cool with AOL. That's my point. I'd prefer more assets downloaded to my hard drive... that's just me. But I can't complain too much... seems to be working ok for now. Man, I must be bored tonight.

I got a 21Mbps broadband on my mobile with no data caps. So I'm good :)

Good, because the drivers in Quebec are INSANE! Playing on the road would be unsafe, haha.

Attaboy Grap. Why pay for it yourself when you can get work to. Haha

Hold my beer and check me

I have an MCD-4800 I use when I'm away from a regular internet connection. I usually use this for work, because the data costs can be insane if I'm stupid with it, but it gets the job done. If you are wondering, it looks like this:

My old work vehicle when I was 17 had an Explorer 727 BGAN installed but I made some stupid decisions financially and couldn't afford the 15000$ loan, had to sell it but ended up paying back the loan so my credit wasn't totally fucked.

This is why people have streams on twitch to watch.

Last time a Quebecer said that to me I woke up naked, covered in poutine, in a field cuddled up next to a cow. Ahhhhh, Quebec.

I usually plan my trips with long layovers. When the plane lands, I rent a car and drive around looking for houses where no one is home, then I break in and play SC. I have NEVER broken into a house that did not have a computer in it!(usually better than mine). I never steal anything(that would be wrong), but I do occasionally help myself to beer and snacks. If I've hit any of your houses, I deeply apologize, and you will always drink free on my Beerfarer

...Oh c'mon, I can't be the only one who does this!
