Sekenr posted:I don't know, seems odd to me. If you want to look pretty, IMO it makes more sense to make fancier flightsuits rathar than put a whole set of clothing including boots over the flightsuit. Way I understand it, the suit is designed to be pretty modular. There's probably a whole bunch of add-ons like that specifically designed to worn over/replace bits of the suit while maintaining seal integrity. Not everybody is going to want to traipse around in a bodyglove.

The last page or so put to words why I tend prefer medium-weight ships like the Python. It gets more or less the same done as the big ones do, at a fraction of the cost to purchase, upgrade and operate (read, pay the occasional rebuy). Plus I tend to like more maneuverable ships, they're just more fun to fly. On one hand, it's great that you don't have to have a giant fuckoff endgame ship to have fun and be effective. On the other, it kind of makes me hope the big ones were more... rewarding.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:i am glad i will apparently never be able to accrue appreciable money in this game. is it like bitcoin? did i miss the bubble? goatsestretchgoals posted:Grind out the 250k for a Detailed Surface Scanner, do like 3 planets of a Road to Riches run, go back for an Advanced Discovery Scanner because honking as you spiral out from the star is annoying, go back and do more Road to Riches. You get 500-700k per HMC/TWW/ELW, low to high. Do not do this in a Viper-3, that only leads to frustration and heartbreak. Get a Cobra-3, Diamondback Scout, or Diamondback Explorer to do that. Hell, even an Adder that's been stripped down to D-rated equipment and max FSD range will have enough jump range to be decent. Viper-3 is for going fast and punching people in the face. Speaking of, that's a decent way to make money fast, especially when you're starting out. A decently fit (read, fully armed, maybe some upgrades) Viper-3 will be perfectly capable of dealing with pirates up to, say, things like the Asp Scout. Get a kill-warrant scanner, get your rear end to a high-intensity RES, head for the laser fire in the distance, scan the combatants and shoot down pirates. It's especially lucrative if you get on the goon discord and get a couple of dudes to do it with. If you need a good place to hunt near the starting systems, I recommend LTT 15574 - the primary station, Haxel Port, has a solid selection of ships and equipment for sale and the local gas planets have suitable hunting grounds a couple of minutes of supercruise away from the station.

You laugh, but this is basically how flying the passenger liner was supposed to be in Star Citizen. With the added bonus of getting to 'interact' with your paying passengers in the form of wonderful minigames like 'reconfigure the comms array so Shithead #7 can watch MLP' and 'mix a margarita for Fuckwit #31'. Have fun with that under fire.

jubjub64 posted:Half joking here: What if they implemented a simple payment plan for larger, more expensive ships? Do most people go to a car dealership and say "here is $40,000 for this new car"? No, they don't. They have a monthly payment plan so that they can drive the car now. Figuring out the payments would be the tricky part. In theory it could work sort of like the current 'loan' system where if you get shot down and take a loan to cover your rebuy costs, you end up paying like 10% of your income towards said loan until it's paid off.

Sekenr posted:No, I think you actually gained a little sirius rep from each transaction because they apprecited your business in the market (selling the slaves you stole from them) That was before they introduced cancelling/failing a mission giving you a rep hit, harsh enough to more than cancel out selling your stolen slaves back to them.

Probably further out in the future. If I remember what they've been talking about correctly, Beyond is going to mostly have enhancements to existing systems (like the recent rebuild of the crime & punishment and the engineering systems), the upcoming social systems, etc. 'Being able to access urbanized planets' and such smells like it'd be out of scope for that.
