Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[Jumpin' Jack Flash]

Hi All

I finally got my Coriolis station up to 60% finished yesterday, I just need some more Aluminium, Titanium & Steel.
Can't face anymore trucking today so I'm giving it a rest! ... definitely approaching burn out
Really tempted to make use of the 'System Colonisation assistance Megathread'
In fact I will, though I don't suppose anyone will contribute.....still, you never know.

Thanks. I'm not sure I'd want it stripped down that much since I'd still like to use it as multi-role.

And I don't like to leave slots empty. Maybe my OCD.

For an explorer ship, you are not "removing a module." You are "adding lightness." So in that there Class 4 slot, you have a few tons of Class 4 holes. It's not "empty." ;-)

Hmmmm....

 

[Markov Chaney]

Easier way: the 6-second rule is now the 4-second rule :]

What if the ship lands buttered side down though? (I actually did that the other day, I spent so long looking for bacteria flying upside down I forgot the "flip the ship" part before the "drop the ship" part when I found a patch)

The next ship after the Corsair, a small with a single huge hard point.

Just the one dumbfire missile. It's a gamechanger in CQC.

Oh that's in SCO^

I've been up to trying to find Titan Drive Components

It's a myth...

Picked one up just yesterday evening. Don't forget that you also need propulsion elements. Anything else you find (like bio storage pods) is a nice bonus.

Or are you talking about buying them from a carrier? That indeed is not working right now.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Just to mix things up a bit, I found a tritium hotspot so I went mining. Oh dear. Those tritium yields are really awful. When I actually found a 'roid with tritium in it.

Back to exploration then!

EDIT: yep, those collector limpets circle underneath the ship now - although I had six out, only three were visible.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Of course if I think someone is out to interdict me the overshoot can be intentional.

Oh, those guys have gone to pirate school, it seems. If you overshoot, they'll just wait for you close to the station...

titan drive components
goto oya and wait up to 30 to 45 mins they will spawn
ita basicaly my second home and where my fc is
make good use of the contacts pannel to find them

Yes, nice, but can it run ED?

 

[0threeleven]

Yes, nice, but can it run ED?

That's a conundrum, I'll bet there are folks in the lab that may have tried different games.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Yes, nice, but can it run ED?

If it does, I'm quite positive that you'll barely be able to recognize the game...

Hi

Interesting, I wonder if we'll hear more about it in the near future.

I've had some help today, I've just found out a Cmdr player has donated 6% of commodities to my station build! ...that's given me a boost, so I'm going to try and fill up my player carrier again this weekend and make some more inroads on this build.

It looks like a Chinese knock-off of the Battlestar Viper.

That's true. Try telling my OCD that.

It's a human spaceship from the british TV Series UFO (1970 - 71). These were built to battle invading UFOs. The potrusion at the front is the ship's main weapon, a single dumbfire rocket.

That's true. Try telling my OCD that.

A multipurpose build is the Jack of all trades in spaceships. It can do many things, but none of them really good.

I guess there's some major rewiring in order...
Maybe, if you feel unable to leave empty module slots, try fitting cargo racks. As long as you don't fill them with cargo, they don't add any weight.
And for weapons use size 1 fixed beam lasers with light weight engineering and stripped down experimental. Might not be useful for anything but waking up an ancient guardian beacon, though.

Thanks. That's show's name is familiar to me but I don't think I've ever seen it. I've been on a 70's crime thriller kick watching films like Mean Streets so maybe I can slot it in.

The beam thing probably wouldn't work for me but the cargo rack thing is an interesting idea. Maybe I can trick my OCD into thinking it has a complete ship.

Well the definition of a "complete" ship depends on the role you want to use it for.

"Multipurpose" isn't really a role, though. It's more a design concept for ship manufacturers. And even those "multipurpose" designs are usually at best average if fitted out for a specific role. If you try to build a ship with a "multipurpose" role in mind, you most likely end up with a ship that is below average in all aspects, as you have to make compromises at every corner.

I'm curious, can you guys see the moon in Europe? It's a lunar eclipse here with an almost full moon.
