I took one of those missions and they shot me on sight twice. Need to log that in issue council. Others say they’re open to the public but so far I’ve clipped thru the ground/facility every single time.
Fly to the orbit of (I think) any of the planets and look for a contract for Illegal Surveillance. Learn how to deploy flares from your ship because the comm array will fire on you. Use your scanner to find all 3 scanners and then shoot them. 50k credits.
Oh wow that's a lot, I'll look into this. I also have now experience fighting but I guess I also literally have nothing to loose. Thank you for the tip!
No problem! Yeah it’s perfect, you get a taste of pinging your scanner, evading missiles and engaging stationary targets with very little actual risk. The only two tricks are to get the mission before someone else takes it and to find all 3 scanners before you start shooting. Once the first one is destroyed it starts a countdown timer before hostile ships arrive and attack. Which also isn’t terrible.
I was overwhelmed with all the changes and controls (I use a controller) and server lag when I finally tried out EPTU so I was having enough trouble getting everything to work to notice all the details but I am almost positive the shields decay and not flick off.
I’m still of the opinion that you should have some shield functionality in NAV mode. I would be fine with 50% strength as long as we had something to defend ourselves from attack.
Here, read as much of this as you want. I posted it 3 years ago, 4 years before where you are now, but after finally trying SC for the first time when all the Elite oldheads kept calling it a scam. Actually I just re-read all 3 of my posts and I don't think they're all that long, maybe read them all. I'm not saying they're all that great to read, I'm saying I think it'll give you a great perspective on what it's like coming from Elite, trying out SC and more importantly, highlighting what you can miss out on if you don't at least give it a try. Ask me any questions you have.
Hell yeah! I haven't been back to Microtech or Hurston in forever. Got inspired by that last Community Hub MVP video "Daredevils on Daymar" to get out and just do some flying. And with the impending ship price increase I decided to drop some aUEC now while the gettin was good. Now, I bought a Pisces Rescue, a Mirai Fury and an Ursa Rover, all of which probably won't get an increase, but I fully intend to get out and just FLY for a bit and see what's out there. Really excited to do it with the new starmap so I can actually find interesting places to go...
We need to go to war on spectrum! I feel exactly the same way. Also how dropping your landing gear limits you to 25 m/s?? Dead is the skill of landing your ship faster speeds on ice or a pad and showing skill. They baby-fying our game to please the lil 12 year olds. For the love of God and good space physics, you need to make a post like this on spectrum telling all these points. I'll make an account and add to it, if it see that post. Your writing is really good, the way you put the point across. Also, dead is the eclipse dropping bombs at 500m/s Dead is dumb firing torpedoes at anything less than 250m/s.. or 200, it's pretty low.
I hope to one day see ship leases. Payment plans for habs, ships, land plots, etc. That plus insurance should give us more of a money sink than just grinding to buy the next ship in full with cold hard credits.
I always hated saving up credits in Elite. I have like 18M but I can't spend any of it because I'm saving for whatever ship. Just throws everything off and feels weird as hell. Hell, Animal Crossing and GTAV let you put money into the bank, I would love that in SC. I got my walkin around cash, but my actual money is sitting in the bank waiting for me to add to it.
Do we know anything about the changes to mission payout yet? It's hard to have this conversation without knowing how the mission payouts will change. All the new player stuff pays like shit.
I'm keeping her Captain's Log on my blog. If you want to follow her adventures, let me know and I'll send you the link. It started as a Zero to Hero story prior to her encounter with the 9 Tails.
It's been a few years since I started but I can confidently say I will NEVER forget one of my very first play sessions when my ship blew away and I damn near froze to death before getting rescued. The hypothermia effects completely caught me by surprise and between that and all the beeping I actually started getting sweaty palms. This game is a very singular experience and while there are others like it, there is absolutely nothing else like it.
Ok thank you I will try that. The missing person mission I'm talking about says trespassing when you get close to the DC

Make controller vibration work correctly again
A "keep open" option on the ships doors. (I know it would be longer than that 😅)
And the ability to remotely open/close from MobiGlas

I only hope that after switching to nav mode shields should decay in a few seconds and not instant besides that it's decent for first iteration.

defend ourselves from attack lol in my case it's defend ourselves from large rocks, or the ground.

For what it's worth, Yogi (I think) said that a toggle to turn off landing gear slowdown will be coming in the future.
It’s the full Star Kitten Damon set I think the arms chest and legs are called “inquisitor raven”
Awesome, when I first starting playing I used to go buy the inquisitor raven armor set every time there was a reset. Loved that armor.

Agreed. If mission payout is going to be based on difficulty and time to complete then those box delivery missions oughta start at 80k aUEC 😜
What when‽(i haven't played in a while)
In the upcoming 3.23 update sometime in the next 4 weeks soon™️.
Does the spooled QD constantly hum while we're in NAV mode? Because that will get old very fast if it does
I've read the hum is gone.

Can I get that link please? I’ve heard of Niska, he has reputation. 😉
Classical, really?
Oho, a person of culture! 🖖🏽
For pure killing, Corsair.
Perfect. No notes.

This is the way.

How have I never heard “shitpit” before? That’s going straight into the lexicon.
What are the odds that I did the exact same thing, wearing the same outfit just ~20 minutes ago?
this is superb.

I would pay real money for those bottles IRL. Seriously. Especially the quantanium one.
There are really only two types of games: Games with exploding barrels, and bad games.
lol rip
What is this from?
This months subscriber perks, which are now also available to purchase in the subscriber store
Dangerous space aliens on shipwrecks.
Oh hell yes. And by hell yes I mean you go first.
Using Game Touch Controller you can set it to ping automatically at intervals.
Updoot for GTc, it’s fantastic.
In 3.23 the spaceports now have huge big fuckoff towers that are lit up like a christmas tree. You shouldn’t miss it anymore.

The Drake stickers are just slapped over the top of old faded fire extinguisher safety labels lmao.
Yeah like where the instructions are. Love it lol
