Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2950 Megathread - Its Done

[Doggen]

You know, all those fancy 'shipsyouwantolivein' like Mercury corsair and carrack are nice and all but for a loner like me the Nomad may just be enough!

Edit: That said I still want a corsair <3

If you could position the ROC is the back and never need to “leave the ship”, it might be useful.

that said, with the openness of the cargo, I wonder if things might get stolen when you are landed and moving towards a storage center, or if it might mean cargo can be damaged by someone shooting at it. So a shot penetrates the shields and hits the cargo of hydrogen. Does that mean you lose that piece of cargo? Since some cargo will need to be kept cold/warm/etc to prevent spoilage, does that mean this ship can’t carry that type of cargo?

Forty four minutes to go!

 

[stockish]

It is almost time!

Hmm not sure if 24 SCu are sufficient for an ROC to be stored in: it doesn't seam but that little buggy is quite large, it has a foot print like a Cyclone basically.
It will for sure be used to store a byke, like the Nox or, even better, a Renegade.

About your concerns on the open cargo: yes, that is exacly what CIG plan for exposed cargo: they are, in fact, exposed. Just figure how happy could be an Hull D owner when he ended up into a combat...
I'm not sure if that is a thing now, but it will certanly in the future.

Game servers borked up too. My launcher doesn't even have the option to run the game.

Hey they fixed Jax's button! All hail CIG! The fixers of buttons!

 

[Cugino83]

Ok we are just 1 hour into the expo the the RSI infrastructure is already collapsed!!!

I suppose we are getting better to brake the nerve of CIG's IT guys (feel sorry for them...), now I wonder: do they underestimate the resonance of the event again, like during the Invictus week, or the audience is sky-roccket again way over theyr guess??


BTW: Jax video are always the best!

 

[Esctasy]

Wonder if this is actually a traffic issue, or it is just broken?

 

[Cugino83]

From the status report it apper the first one:
"We are currently investigating an issue related to heavy load on the RSI Platform."

It's just the log-in front end and the website, but in game is preatty shitty since the release of 3.11.1: lot's of delay while opening the mobi-glass, sudden freez... well the usaual during this even actually
