Ok got my rear end to Maia to get one meta alloy for Farseer, it's not bad at all in a 38ly Asp. Now the trip back is going to be interdiction hell I guess? Good thing I brought 4 mine launchers  I am sick of doing errands to unlock engineers already, it's really tiresome and I will never gather enough stuff for all the rank 5 upgrades anyway. With just the basic ones I should be pretty much set (still need to buddy up with the eurynes blue mafia or whatever to get them sweet armor upgrades though)

It's honestly not that bad, I just flew a bunch of modular terminals from Sothis to Khan to Sirius and wasn't interdicted once. Maybe I should just stick to rank 3 FSD upgrades with the ones I have because I doubt I'll get 25 of them anytime soon. When should we expect the patch to hit live servers? I need to make more money hauling poop

Jumping between Leesti and Shield Booster Lady's system a dozen times to unlock her is loving dumb. I'm still going to do it because ALL MY THINGS MUST BE AMAZING, which I guess makes me the dumb one.

Just reinstalling after a 6 month hiatus as I finally have some free time to play space trucker again. Seems like some cool new stuff is coming. What's the go to thing for making money at the moment? Think when I last played the smuggling stuff was pretty good cash?

Actually nobody gave a gently caress and I got to farseer without trouble, and now my Vulture has 20 ly jump range, 17.7 mw to play with, fully a grade internals, a shield booster with +25% shield, +4% resistances and a beam+frag cannon... I barely need to disable the cargo hatch to have enough juice in combat. Now just need an upgraded armor and a new power distribuitor

Get an asp or a conda and head out to Sothis/Ceos to haul poop back to the bubble. There is a more detailed version in my post history from this thread, but I'm on my phone and lazy.

Regarding weapon upgrades, what are the best ones? I tried to roll for some rank 1 stuff but the effects look incredibly underwhelming, it feels like a downgrade from stock most of the time. It would be great if someone could post a guide to what is worth and what is crap.

Hey background sim nerds: Is it possible to increase a starbases economy? I'm annoyed at the limited number of outfitting options and the lovely market available at the station I frequent. Or is it all tied to the population of a system?

There was talk about being able to store engineer commodities at a workshop, although this doesn't seem to have come into the beta yet.

We'll apparently be able to store engineer materials at engineer bases, but not at any station. Which is way better than nothing, but also seems unnecessarily inconvenient.

Yeah it's an unnecessary restriction but I'd take it over the current options. Shipping it a few jumps to eg. Khan or Sirius is a much better option than having to vendor them because you want to do some poop trading or if you're jumping into a ship without cargo racks entirely

Clean drives are only worthwhile for explorers, silent running builds or people who must absolutely have a PA in each slot. Always go dirty otherwise.

The biggest disappointment from DD5 was that it didn't change my ship's drive exhaust to look like the reapers from Firefly. Clean Drive tuning should make it look bright and clean. Maybe no contrails?

DD5 should be spitting fire and bits of plasma and the contrail should be a dark smoke with an orange glow. CD5 should be a clean plasma jet with relatively minimal contrail. Something to denote that the player in that particular ship has gone through a lot to get the drives where they want them. Same with the ventral thrusters and even the heat glow on ships with modified power plants and distributors. THAT would be loving sexy.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't mind the orange. Also, is Frontier killing Sothis in the next patch? And thanks to the goon who pointed out one should buy extra fuel tanks to make the trip there quicker.
