Nope, Type-7 is a larger hull because its too tall to fit inside medium hangars.

What's the least retarded way to grind Federation rank now that Arexe is dead? Robigo runs again hoping that as many deliveries as possible go to Fed stations?

So i'm trying my hand at some smuggling here, deliberately this time. I took a narcotics mission with a about 40 minute timer which says that i will be provided the deliver details by one of their "contacts", where can i find this person? I flew around in supercruise a bit scanning ships trying to find her, but nothing. Decided to disengage out of supercruise and loiter around in space for a bit hoping she would find me, but in like 20 seconds the rozzers majesticly flew in screaming "HALT RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM" and started scanning me, to which i said nuh huh farted chaff in their face and blasted off back in space. Currently i'm landed in a big moon canyon to get away from a pesky bounty hunter. Unrelated question, if i log out in space or landed in this canyon, do i get rolled back to the last station i was in when i log back in? edit: another unrelated question, is there a site with pictures of the cockpit in all the ships? i feel like this is one of the major selling points to me.

Yep, done this in the past too. The python seems better sized to have a big rear end refinery and tons of drones, whereas the asp always feels too cramped and under-equipped. Whenever I feel the urge to mine, I do a quick refit and I'm off.

Shine posted:Python supremacy, then! The only annoying thing for me is, configuring the Python from trading to exploring and back is a headache for me, since I can't just store the modules somewhere for later use. Flying back and forth, hoping to find all modules I need every time got old fast. So this is why I have an Imperial Clipper for trading now. If I'm space rich someday instead of barely fluid, I'll probably buy a second Python just so I can land on outposts if I want to trade. But really, Frontier should rethink this, it's kind of weird to have a multirole-ship being straight up the better trader then the pure trading ship. The way it is now, a trader is basically "upgrading" by going from a T-7 to a Python before ending up at the larger ships. Either the T-7 needs to be rebalanced to be able to land on outposts, or there needs to be a T-7 variant a bit more squashed: Less high but wider, so it fits on a medium pad without losing cargo space.

The only cash incentive is being able to do so theoretically indefinitely and faster. The indefinite part is with craftable AFM and SRV fuel refills. The faster part is with FSD boosts. That's it so far.

I need some help. I've been working on grinding Imperial standing/ranks so that I can get a Courier (and eventually a Clipper), but something's off. I've been working out of an Imperial controlled system, taking missions marked with an eagle, etc. now for a few hours and completed maybe a half dozen. Checked my Imp rep and apparently it's going down (from 16% neutral to 14%)? I need a no-BS route to getting this rep, because it feels like I made allied with Fed + a few fed ranks in as much time as I've spent trying to get my Imperial standing higher than it is now. From what people have said, it takes maybe two hours or less to get the standing for a Courier, and it's starting to feel frustrating. Maybe there's an Imperial equivalent to Robigo? I feel like much of my Fed ranks came from making those runs.

Paramemetic posted:Once you have landing permissions, the arrows are on all the large facing things, pointing at the docking port. The model rotates based on your alignment with it in space. So basically, pretend the model is the thing you're looking at, and fly in the direction the arrow points.

I'm not even sure I'd have bought the expansion yet if I'd known this was the case ahead of time. The SRV is fun for awhile, but the stick needs some kind of carrot on the end to keep it fun after the first few hours, and this expansion was like the most blindingly obvious opportunity they've ever had to finally throw explorers a bone and make it both profitable and fun. That's heartbreaking.  Guess I should have looked into that aspect better ahead of time. My own fault I guess.

"Ginormous mechanical omission" describes the vast majority of this game. If you're not willing to explore an infinite succession of identical low-res blobs for no other ingame reward than a sparse visual companion to the Star Trek roleplay you've got going inside your head (that you could've gotten in a fraction of the time, with much better visuals, for free, from Space Engine), then long-range exploration may not be for you.

I accepted a mission to shut down a generator in a settlement so I thought to myself "well, this should be simple, just dive down and rain death on it from the sky- holy jeez these defense turrets have some punch  " (That took about 5 seconds by the way: 2 seconds watching my shields disintegrate, 3 seconds frantically boosting away) I then got in my space car and basically realized my original plan would've been supremely unfun compared to what is basically Mass Effect's Mako bits but actually exciting.

Yeah, those ground defense guns have punch. Pretty sure they're the same kind of turrets mounted on orbital stations and capital ships.

They will show up eventually, but not in the time frame stated in the mission and there's no indication on what the actual amount of time is for when they will show up after the time expires. There are a few bug tickets on the frontier forums about it, specifically the "going the distance" mission. I tried two of these and had mixed results. The first the NPC never showed up after a period of approximately 2 hours with a mission time limit of 7 minutes. This one I cancelled out because I thought it was bugged. However after reading the bug reports I tried a second mission. The second the NPC did show up, 45 minutes after the mission time limit had expired. Somehow even after the time limit expired, it was still a legit mission and I later delivered and got credit for it. The bug tickets said Frontier knows about the issue, so hopefully it will get patched sooner rather than later.

Too busy going 'holyshit three Vultures what the gently caress is wrong with these people boost boost boost' and yelling for my friend to get the gently caress outta dodge to note down names. Is there a player search function on Inara? These guys might have profiles. That said, they were hunting in one of the hazRESes right next to Haxel Port - it's the biggest station in the system and a good place for kitting out your ship so if I was trying to make my stomping grounds in that sector, that's where I'd go. I'm not saying people should sent out a hitsquad to put the fear of goon in 'em but if someone is in the area and is into hassling some pubbies, it might be worth a look.

So how the hell do you launch the game through Steam? I bought Horizons via Steam, downloaded the 6GB install. Started it up, I get the screen image below. Log in, click the REDEEM button on the bottom, opens up a browser to redeem the game serial # through the frontier account, do that, but this redeem button still shows and no way to "launch" it. What am I missing here?

It just took a few minutes for the redemption to take effect for me. Less than five, though, I'm pretty sure.

If this trend holds up, then do whatever, especially donations or yes stacked Robigo. Just to add on to this, rank reward is weird. I just finished a simple delivery. 166,000~ credit reward, from a space station, to a system 45 ly away, to a starport on the surface of a planet 70,000 ls from the local star. This rewarded a whopping 5% rank progress compared to 1% from earlier, much higher paying combat jobs and donations. e: Also I am falling in love with the Python. Not for firepower or looks, though, as much as two unexpected perks. One, it has a huge fuel tank so I can forgo a fuel scoop for most work. And even more of a surprise, two, it has three searchlights that illuminate a very wide area, perfect for flying at night on planets. Sard fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Dec 20, 2015 |
