I didn't use "DAKKA MC" for the Corvette, because I'm gonna switch the huge MC's for beams I think. So: Corvette: RUMBUSTIOUS AspX: FLYMO Python: TANNENBAUM Anaconda: SUNRAY Cutter: SLOW COMFORTABLE CREW DAKKA MC might go on the rarely used Gunship. I've still got to think of one for the Cobra III, which has G5 thrusters, so it's going to be something that evokes a bit of speed.

Well, this is another thing I'm gonna be waiting on and hope it gets better. Man why can't you control the SRV in someone's ship? Why can't you be in a wing of 2 multicrew ships with two guys in them or 1 mutlicrew ship with 3 dudes and a normal ship? Why don't you split any profits from missions like... at all? Why can't you take over the pilot seat? Why can't you plot courses and stuff to be a co-pilot for long journeys? maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

My Diamondback Explorer is going to be named Space Madness because where we're going, we don't need eyes to see E: Also might go with "Friendship Drive Charging" if there's enough room

My long range Cutter is the "Lady in the Black" The Combat Cutter is the "Self-Injury" I'll try to name my 'Vette "Eat Biowaste&Die" once I can get to it. My Python is "Frameshift is Magic" The Asps are "Space Crêpe" and "Burger". The Beluga is called "Star Citizen"

Is there currently a go-to station for long-haul cargo missions, or am I back to ferrying Imperial Slaves around for a while? I'm like 75% of the way through Tycoon and I'd love to cap that.

So turns out a bunch of people aren't all independently, cleverly referencing Don Quixote's donkey. They're just cribbing from some generic-sounding sci-fi novels I'd never heard of until two minutes ago. Disappointed!

The Expanse is good fun, and the show is arguably better at telling the story...

So I decided to make the trip to Maia and it was easy peasy in an Asp Explorer, especially with a 3A fuel scoop (I basically have unlimited range now it seems) I arrived, saw Obsidian Orbital, thought it was odd that it was marked as being Federation aligned since I had heard this place was anarchy. Anyway I requested to dock and a cop scanned me except he said "Anything we can use?" while he did, and then someone shot at me in the docking bay before immediately being owned by station defenses.

Ship names: 'Ecliptica' 'Stellar Seraglio' The system map and star map appear much quicker now. The character maker is pretty nice. I am 13K LY from Earth, so if I buy a ship name I think I won't be able to apply it until I reach a base. Bleah. Not touching the new camera yet as I anticipate it will be a huge time sink. The posted shots look great. Schindler's Fist fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 14, 2017 |

Breetai posted:Is there any way to pick up multiple materials in an srv by driving over them without individually targeting each in turn? By the time your material storage is 970/1000 and your data store is 485/500 you won't care about picking everything up. coupedeville posted:has anyone else had issues with their controllers not working? none of the controls are saved and I have to put them all in manually?

I think that was down to the new in-flight datalink scanner, which I've not used yet. This was on a wireless Xbox pad.

I dunno. Maia is an anarchy system, so it might have been some other weirdness/exploit.
