My Journey
- Thread starter Peppermint Barnstorm
- Start date
Try wine 5.2 Staging. It's what I'm using. I've never tried voice attack though I will be trying out an Occulus Rift once I get a graphics card upgrade ( Going to fit a GTX 1660Ti once I can afford it )
I actually run a 660Ti which has a max power of 150W according to the spec sheet.
The 1660Ti being newer tech is actually more efficient and has a peak power of 132 W according to Toms Hardware
My current system if it accepts the card runs on a 500w supply and should cope fine even perhaps run a little cooler. I've always built my own machines and if I find I need to change the whole thing then the worst case is I've slightly prematurely bought a good graphics card. Feel free to add a reply here, however let's not turn this into a hardware spec thread. I'm very happy to discuss the finer points of system building in a private conversation.

Not entirely true..
I'm running an older gen i7 (devils canyon - 1150) and a RTX 2080 Super, all from a 600w SFX psi with no issues
Ahh thanks and don't worry Mikekim, we've explored my system specs and the card specs in private and my system will indeed run a GTX1660Ti. As I say I don't want this to become a system spec thread.
After the mining I'm hoping to find something really fun out here
. I'm currently watching an old Earth TV Show called Star Trek Voyager. It's quite entertaining but their tech is so weird. How did they get it so wrong?
I lol'ed when I read this roleplay
Hey @Peppermint Barnstorm you ever hear the spacepixies talking about you when you have been pushing too hard, too many jumps in a row? You know 'he's getting tired, he'll crash into the next star..' in a tiny voice just behind you? Been out for a while now, wonder if I need a break...
I'm too late to the discussion, but may I ask why you chose mining equipment over an SRV bay? I've just put the latter into your build (from the first post) and removed the mining stuff and the Cargo rack and got an even larger jumprange.
Edit: Forget about that. I found your answer. If you feel more comfortable with that setup than you should use that
Edit 2: But would you please post at the end of your journey how much your AMFU's and hull got damaged? I'm asking out of curiosity since I never flew into the void with repair limpets but I always had at least an AspX (and an Anaconda now)

4788 LY from my last repair
Hull 96%
Thrusters 93%
AFMU 1 96%
AFMU 2 97%
Cargo Hatch 93%
Mining Laser 94%
Fuel Scoop 98%
Power Distributor 91%
FSD 95%
Sensors 86%
Repair limpet 97%
Canoy 96%
Power Plant 97%
DSS 96%
I've had 2 emergency stops on stars ( I was careless) and taken a small amount of scrape when doing the surface mining ( Cargo Hatch Damage and 1% hull damage ) I'm curious about the sensor damage.
I did indeed use the repair limpets once already between bubble and colonia. They were quite useful. I also emptied both AFMU on that journey ( I was experimenting with surface mining and working out the best way to do it )

Just a little Earthlike 30,000 LY from home.
Today I crashed. Not badly. I'm still alive. I woke up after resting the night on an iceball. I took off from the surface using vertical thrusters only. I had not realised that the throttle was in the forward position. Because the ship had only just woken up as far as it was concerned the throttle was at zero. For the moment everything was fine.
I then went to the right hand panel as I realised I had powered down the frame shift drive. I powered it back up and while I was doing this the nose of the craft pitched down. Not a problem while the ship thinks it's at 0 throttle.
As the right hand panel put itself back in standby on returning my focus to look forward the ship suddenly realised that the throttle was fully forward and promptly sent full power to the engines. This propelled me vertically downwards into a snowdrift.
Minor hull damage. I'm down to 75%, so nothing terrible. I think from now on I will turn flight checks back on.

I solemnly promise not to upload every damn earthlike I find. It will get very generic. This is the last one for a long time now unless I find one made out of cheese or alabaster or something. Everyone cross fingers for me to find something really pretty.
Landed on a High G Metallic in the same system. I decided not to try surface prospecting here. High G makes the thrusters struggle to maintain attitude and stability. Last thing I want to be is a greasy smear and a point of interest for someone else to find.
Pernicious Pixies,
Cold of space does not harm you.
Why pick at my paint?

Entropy's friends, the pixies (pernicious)
peck at your paint... because it's delicious.
The Void is no void
For each light year you travel
Dust flays the ship's skin
This is also an acceptable explanation
This has long been my suspicion as well. It is the most likely explanation.
What a great thread! Looking forward to more.
When you swing back by Colonia, feel free to stop in at Robardin Rock in Carcosa. The Reapers can be a rowdy bunch, but we have a good time.
The Guttersnipe's booze is pretty good, too. Don't mind the dirt floors.

Parked on a pretty planetoid. Checked Star Step over for Pixies. None found. Paint still suspiciously nibbled. At least there are some decent vents here. It's been a while since I set down anywhere and the vapour flasks were all empty. Lots of Sulphur around. Everything is yellow. I looked at the stars, considered how they shone for me and everything I do. I wonder if someone will come along and write a song?
