Reading though this, lol and hands up who hasn't wanted these after a security ship has drifted through your guns, and suddenly you have the attention of three well armed anacondas :o: After the last CG I'd gotten standing my bird on her tail and getting the hell out of Dodge ASAP down to a fine art.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Considering the stinking shitheap that is SC, the PvP slider will either be added in 20XX, roughly on the same day Mega Man will be activated, or it will make your PC explode if you're dumb enough to try "playing" this non-game.

Both arguments are valid. That's why the argument will never end. Anyone who can't see why the other side is valid needs to take another step back.

Is anyone even actually :siren:exploiting:siren: the way you claim to be so worried about? I thought most people just picked a mode and stuck with it (except when they have to switch to solo to get a docking space, the dirty cheating bastards).

Exploits are just game features you don't personally approve of, I guess.

This would all make a lot more sense if there was anything resembling a sand castle to even be built. (I want to build a little outpost damnit!)

Whereas the Star Citizen sandcastle exists as a jpeg, the Elite sandcastle is merely imaginary. an npc faction of frogmen?

If you re-installed and clicked "I agree" to the new TOS you've done yourself out of ever getting a refund (probably) :v:

That's fine, I only ever paid the bare minimum for it and I feel like I've gotten my money's worth in entertainment at this point anyway. If there's ever a playable game it'll just be a bonus.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Is there a beginners guide to engineers and horizons and all the stuff to do? I just got it on Xbox, made my first planetary landing and landed as a big rear end planetary city. Just god drat they knocked it out of the park. I don't have a clue what to do though. I've noticed that at resource sites killed ships drop some sort of materials. What are those for? They don't fill up my cargo or I can't seem to sell them. The first engineer I have in my menu is redded out too. I'd love some help.

Also, I get killed pretty quickly now. How do the number/letter ratings work for gear? I'm trying to get better shields and weapons but I think I've messed up because me eagle turns like a brick now.

A lot of people over reacting, partially. Lots of QoL things in this update, but the actual added content, the engineers stuff is RNG bullshit that is not worth the effort.
