CitrusFrog posted:So the other day my brother decided he was going to shower me with cash by pooping diso grain cargo pods at me just outside of a station's no fire zone. After picking them up I look at my cargo only to see that all four tons are registering as stolen. I managed to get docked at a station and get the poo poo sold but not before getting scanned and receiving a 32k bounty on my head. I got blown up while exiting Julian Gateway station, I had just been forced to downgrade my fuel scoop from a C to a D just to have the rebuy cost in my account when I died. He forgot to abandon the cargo. I've dropped well over 400 palladium outside Big Harry's Monkey Hideout this afternoon and I've gotten no complaints, yet. You have to choose the 'abandon' option, though.

Libluini posted:Do you: I fire it off when I warp in at the star, and if I'm traveling thousands of LS away I fire it off intermittently. I hadn't thought of firing it off at the station. It's assigned to a weapon group. It's a basic discovery scanner, nothing special. Most of the better discovery scanners are in the six-figure prices and I can't afford them right now. A while back a few posters told me that ships came equipped with basic discovery scanners stock, but I found this not to be true when I tried to assign to a fire group. So I just bought one in place of a cargo hold.

I got blown up while exiting Julian Gateway station, I had just been forced to downgrade my fuel scoop from a C to a D just to have the rebuy cost in my account when I died. There's some way to drop cargo that doesn't involve it being marked as stolen, but hell if I know how that works. He did not do that, so the space cops registered you as having stolen that poo poo and fined you accordingly. You would have had to avoid that scan through the use of something like dumping a heatsink, or simply getting through the mail slot more quickly. Presumably that's why you got blowed up by the station, you got marked as Wanted and it decided "Hey gently caress this guy" On top of that, Diso Ma corn is a rare commodity. Those increase in value the further away you sell them from where YOU acquired them. Doesn't matter if your brother bought them 160Ly+ from where he gave them to you, you scooped them up where you were and went into that station, getting the bare minimum price for them. You would've have to have traveled 160Ly or more to get the most profit from them, and that would've required a black market as well, since they were stolen. Basically, you both done hosed up. If he wanted to give you free money, he should have bought Palladium or Gold or something from a neighboring, and then dumped 4 tons of that outside the station for you to scoop. Depending on the demands of the system that would've netted you at least enough to cover your fine (although your fine would probably also have been higher).

Holy poo poo there's some serious spamming going on right here. Why don't you go play the game instead? Wait, you're doing all this while supercruising to the next grind point? Oh look 500 Ls, gotta go throttle down to low-blue-zone

life is killing me posted:I fire it off when I warp in at the star, and if I'm traveling thousands of LS away I fire it off intermittently. I hadn't thought of firing it off at the station. It's assigned to a weapon group. Try to get the detailed surface scanner, at least. And if you can't afford the better scanners, try to use parallax to get other bodies. In moderation, mind you. Without the advanced scanner you can't possibly now if that third sun you're trying to reach is just outside of your scanner range or a couple hundred thousand light seconds away. As a rule of thumb, stations and outpost are always around something, even if it's just an asteroid belt. But thanks to everything human-built being visible to you without scanning, you can find a lot of stuff by just flying to them and firing your scanner when you're close enough. Of course, outside human space there are no stations. Only parallax-skills and better scanners can help you then. Well, and that old trick of hopping planets to find orbital bodies farther out. That trick works better with an intermediate scanner, though. If you really want to get into exploration, you'll sooner or later need the money for the better scanners or you'll just waste your time. As priority, try to get: -Detailed Surface Scanner -Intermediate Scanner -Advanced Scanner In that order. At least the first one is a must, the rest a matter of taste and/or OCD. (There are 400 billion systems, technically you don't have to scan everything down you see.  )

I also did not know that about rare goods, and have passed that on to him (along with a few choice brother-to-brother insults). He had apparently run into some sort of space Santa who gave him a bunch of expensive cargo, enough to get himself a fully-kitted Cobra MkIII. Yeah the station blew me up because that 32k fine turned into a 32k bounty over the past couple of days when I didn't play so the moment I was out of the mail slot the station shredded me. I knew it was coming and prepared accordingly.

I honestly have no idea. He was swinging around to that pad, so he's clearly inside the slot... and then... poof. A few million for the ship, and presumably several million more for the cargo... gone.

Aesis posted:Interesting. If you engaged FSD to jump to another system, you can jump out even when someone tries to interdict you. Interdiction won't cancel FSD. We used to be able to use the safe disengage to drop out of supercruise the same way, but the only time I've managed it in gamma/release was when I dropped out just as someone was interdicting. Aesis posted:So here I was fuel scooping and got interdiction. What does the escape vector do? Take me right into the star. Got overheated to 200% and almost burnt myself to death, then got to 160% heat trying to activate FSD.

He was coming in pretty quick though if that's his normal approach, and with full pips into engines, only 2 in sys. Probably the server had a small hickup and for a split second he interpreted as closer to wall then he thought?

That was a T-9, he had a good minute to the wall yet (well not quite, but he was still way far away - if lag was that bad he wouldn't have made it through the slot I think). Edit: Also, shields are really thick on those things, they can survive quite a few bumps - a regular collision at that speed should leave him spinning with one shield layer left first, no instant kill.

I had a similar bug where I rammed into the station mailbox but only lost my shields down to the last sliver. The game, however, assumed that I had just bit the dust and gave me a trespass warning Worth saying o had half fuel, so maybe I would've died in with full fuel.

limaCAT posted:I want to meet space Peter Gabriel so that we can fly in formation and do this with spaceships -> gently caress yeah I am up for that! I have hauled my rear end to LTT 700, guys, it's no Monkey Hangout that's for sure. This place is loving sterile, no style. What station are we based at here? In other news I met my buddy IRL tonight who also plays and also uses a Rift so we nerded out all night, chatting away about the price of cannisters of human poo poo, stolen fish and what not while our friends looked on in stunned shame, as I was leaving I said to him 'See you soon Commander' and he looked at me and said 'gently caress Off' - We all guffawed then I left, they didn't see it but I had a single tear in my eye as I went through the door into the lonely, cold, dark night. This game is harsh.

I hope they have some more exotic designs coming up, it's one of the few things I've been digging about that other game [thunder claps outside the window]. Ships from different manufactures/whatever really look different. Where's the Clipper, Federation propaganda bullshit poster  e: Absolutely love the style of the Python, Anaconda and Type-7 though

Ugh, I just accidentally fired my heatsink into nothingness. It's really time I get back into civilization. As an aside, is there a handy list of impressive sites in the Milkyway somewhere? I want to see what else there is closer to Sol, but Google doesn't want to tell me today.

Nearby to the civilized bubble we have lots of dark interstellar clouds (Pipe/Stem, Coalsock, various dark regions) with the sack being the closest. Those aren't nebula or anything just big dark clouds of dust. Nebula wise though the closest ones are still several hundred ly out and probably a few days trip. Check out Epsilon Indi for the moon that orbits its planet once every twenty seconds or so

By comparison it takes the Moon about 2361600 seconds (27,3 days) to orbit Earth.

Looks like I'm not the only player who got an anomalous 5 billion credits in their wallet. Massively article from this thread on the pubbie forums. Edit: Excelsiortothemax posted:I am a fan of Freespace and Wing Commander, will I enjoy this game? If this was like 20-40 bucks I'd buy it right away but the $70 tag has me judging it. It's pretty fun so far; space is gorgeous and huge, the hyperdrive has great sound effects and all the weapons feel solid. Mining, and scooping cargo can be a pain in the rear end though. Worth 40 Euros? I suppose you have to make your own decision about that. I've only been playing for about 3 days and I feel like I've gotten most of my money's worth so far, except for the transaction server issues that happened last night.

Which has a better jump range when stripped to the bone, the Eagle or the Sidewinder? EDIT: I officially found a trade route worth over 20k/tonhour and I'm sorry but I ain't sharing this one. Want to move all my poo poo to this area. "All my poo poo" is just a Viper and a Type-6 and the Type-6 is already at the spot.

I was making a list of targets to go look at, which means I have to go there first. So I don't know either. The cluster is supposed to be in the Taurus-constellation, if I remember right. Try to type in Taurus in the galactic map, this should give out a lot of star systems and some kind of dark region. The cluster is probably there. Edit: Or I could be full of poo poo. It is supposed to be in the Centaurus-constellation, which the map refuses to find anything about. Weird. Libluini fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 3, 2015 |
