I am grander! now that the chocolate shake from lunch is down. No idea what makes me an admiral, but I like it.

But seriously, a noob. I have yet to buy a ship, as I have no game capable machine at present and no time to play. Hopefully both remedied in the coming months, before the release of the Polaris.

As a long standing noob who knows nothing of buying these "ships" y'all are talking about, I should remain silent and observe, however; I have now observed an uncharacteristic lack of shitposting in this thread, so thought I would come to y'all aid and like that.

I picked up a nox with LTI from the marketplace here, so I should be ok when the prospector comes available again.



I know they've said since pretty much the beginning not to focus on the LTI stuff, but I know me. I know its a matter of time before I blow up my ship only to find out I forgot to renew my insurance and now no more ship lol. the main reason i'm putting my little fleet together now is that I have no idea how challenging it will be to earn credits in game, haven't had much luck so far in 3.x due to crashes plus this is only the alpha so the economic stuff is bound to change i'm sure

There will be TONS of reminders to renew your insurance in game, plus, your ship is not permanently gone if you forget to renew insurance, it just takes longer to retrieve your ship... again, insurance is just a small portion of gameplay.

This is an interesting assumption. They did say in a recent video that lack of insurance will not prevent you from getting the ship back but that it might be full cost. I took it to mean that blown up uninsured ships would still be available to purchase by the player no matter their standing but the cost wouldn't be like it was covered by insurance and instead be full retail.
The other thing to take into consideration is insurance timer is real world meaning a 6 month insurance will last only 6 months from the start of the timer.

again, before that 6 months is up, you will very likely receive numerous reminders to renew your shit.

We need to make him a blind owl spot light.

Will it be a beer bottle?
Talonsbane said:
If @Blind Owl were truly a blind owl, then wouldn't that spot light have to be made out of braille & have a sound to indicate its activation?

Wow.
Smart.
Must be a SPAI!

I havnt seen a confirmation on this yet do you have any official statements on it yet? There are a lot of speculations on how the timmer will go. Some say they think it will work like items bought from the stores for rental(7 days you actually play) some say real life timmer, others think real game time. In my oppinion it needs to be a game timer so you are actively thinking about it.

In another thread someone mentioned that RSI occasionally puts ships back on sale that are not currently on sale. When this happens, are they offered with LTI again or is that sort of a first time only type of thing? I had decided that I want to add a Prospector and a Vulture to my fleet. I can pick up the warbond Vulture next month before the sale ends but it'll be stretching the budget to pick up two in the hopes that I can at some point maybe CCU the other Vulture into a Prospector. What are my options based on your collective past experience?

Don't get manipulated! You can break the attachment cycle!

Well i was originally thinking it would be something like an owl light but now thinking on it from what @Talonsbane said I think it would be better to just be the sound of a beer opening.

Perhaps something like this.

Now that idea of yours @Bambooza is truly genius! The question is, how many beers did you have to open, record & drink until you found just the right sound? I'm guessing at least 1 more than you actually needed. (Just to be sure, of course. :p )

Its at the time when they call Rob Reininger and he talks about insurance.

Printimus said:
its not 6 months real time.....its 6 months in game time....meaning only when you are logged in.
Click to expand...
In some ways I wish this was the case but Rob was very clear that timers will be based on real world time. So 6 month insurance will last 6 months if your in game or not. Same with timers for things like cargo loading/unloading and insurance cool downs.


sovapid said:
They clarified in a recent Calling all Dev's and then in a few Spectrum post's that it is "real time" not in game time now.
