Heatsinks were quietly changed to give you 2 seconds of silent running when they fully eject. This breaks locks and scans, even from stations. Works for all kinds of smuggling. If you mash your heatsink button right as you get "scan detected" it will break that scan before it finishes. I pop one or two heatsinks on the way in to stations and never even see scans.

You would think that popping heatsinks when entering a station would be really suspicious and someone looking out those windows flanking the envelope slot would say "yo that guy is suspicious and he's landing at pad 69"

What's the difference between literal silent running and just having your heat level bottomed out from the heat sink doing its normal job? Heat level is supposed to progressively affect target locks, gimbal efficiency, etc. as well.

The current Saitek stuff is lovely, right? I've got a super old Saitek X45 that is solid and still works great, was thinking about picking up some rudder pedals though. CH is pretty decent?

I'm loving the Logitech X52: I may have been lucky because it was quality checked by #1, but I was almost surprised by how well it was put together and worked after hearing some horror stories! I noticed all of the software is still Mad Catz, so good to know it got sold!

Heh, now it seems ridiculous but there was a time when i was like wow senator patreus done this thing and senator torval supported his claim to throne wow. This is so important and interesting. They really hosed up the plot if there ever was one. Who even remembers or cares that aryssa is the emperor? There is a galactic war? I didnt know

I just got interdicted for the first time... I was flying above a ring towards a RES when I got the message I was being pulled out of supercruise. Next thing i knew i was hurtling towards the planet and it's rings, i dropped my throttle to 0 but it was to late, I went right through the rings and most of my systems went down including my engines. In a panic I was trying everything I could to get them back on including shutdown/restart before i noticed my power output had dropped, after disabling some unneeded modules I was able to get back in to super cruise and to a station before they caught up with me. That was scary and awesome at the same time.

Lunimeow posted:I just got interdicted for the first time... One of the things I think a lot of folks ignore in interdictions is that you're most probably at full throttle and trying to fight the interdiction game is really tough - but if you pull back to the blue zone and pitch + yaw you can beat the npcs without too much sweat. My last imperial rank mission had a bunch of assholes following me System to System and they tried to jump me a bunch of times, but they didn't have poo poo on me even in my mostly D ranked asp.

1. Collect mission reward materials 2. Fly to P Puppis 3. Fly to Deciat 4. Use ship transfer to call short legged ships there 5. Decide to take missions to kill time 6. Get jumped by two NCs while snagging a black box 7. kaboom 8. Realize you forgot to sell the exploration data 9. Also all mission reward commodities are gone

Once you are fighting 2 ships, I seem to die very quickly. I haven't done any combat since I started in the past week or so, but I don't remember it being quite that hard when I played the beta. In the world, just ah... don't try to fight more than you can handle. Thanks tutorial, lesson learned! Internet Explorer fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Apr 1, 2017 |

Wait, did the forums somehow convince the developers that they needed to reduce the payout for player crew? If they did I think they should just close those things for feedback

Yeah I'm not sure how it's supposed to be winnable - the very first ship is quite a threat, when it goes 2v1 you basically don't stand a chance. I might also just be really bad at this game!

I guess I just don't want to belive a relatively small thread changed the course of development after they double downed on the rewards not being split. Regardless I still consider it bait and switch.
