Despite my reservations, I splashed cash on ARX with a view to getting the Mandy.
Pre-built or standard?
Hmm... research, research, research.

It seemed cheaper to me to get the standard and then add bits in game. But then maybe I am just cheap!
You know... as I think about it, I have enough ARX to buy standard versions of the Mandy and the T8.
Just to throw an extra spanner in the works!
EDIT - Went prebuilt Mandy

I did in the pp1 time, mainly for the modules, (Prismatics, Pacifiers and Cytoscramblers up until now).
There weren't many drawbacks then.
In pp2 the opposing powers seem to be a bit more aggressive toward you.
I'm going to pledge anyway, it seems the gameplay is more interesting now, and you don't lose half your merits every week.
I jsut left my Mandalay in primer without the ship kit as neither did much for me and it dropped the price by half. I'm officially a cheapskate. Will paint it once I earn a bit through gameplay. I love the ship without the ship kit so winner winner chicken dinner. Put the ship kit on the T8, though, as I love it's industrial look, real Alien vibes.
Enjoy your new ship!
Haven't noticed banners yet, but wandering on the floor, there were guards wearing plain green à la '93 doomguy, and random cargo ships that come and go painted full red, or full green,etc. I 'll take a closer look at that
Thanks!
Feels more like a racing car than an exploration ship at the moment. Just at Fe's to get some experimental luvvliness and then some engineering.
I wish they'd fix the outfitting screen though - my jump range stats disappear off the bottom of my monitor.

I haven’t got that on mine, is it just Mandalay or everything.
Perhaps you need to get round the back of your monitor and tweak the vertical hold a bit.
I abandoned that idea years ago; I leave them all over the bleedin' place. Thing is though I quite like the little interludes this forces, when you might have to wait days for your ship to arrive, you can just pootle around doing makework for a while and it's quite relaxing. (Powers dishing out missions directly is going to help with this too!)I suppose I could dry dock the Hauler, Added and A.N. Other when the MKV arrives. It's just my OCD wanting keep all my ships in one place

Yes, one should also watch out for magnets nearby - possibly a speaker set below is pulling the beam off, distorting/cropping the image?
Perhaps the tubes are still warming up.
Thing is, everything else is centralised OK.
EDIT: Actually, I'm wondering if it's to do with screen size and resolution...
Quite possibly, especially if your monitor is one of the more letter boxed designs.
Could it be to do with borderless versus windowed display modes as well?
Unfortunately I have no operatives spare to despatch to your property with a spy drone, so you'll have to actually tell us what rez you are running if you want an answer ...
ETA: I think aRJay is suggesting you might be on 16:10 (the oldschool not-quite-16:9) or ultrawide (the shiny new eeeally-not-16:9)
ALmost the best bit of being in a squadron is that we have a home base, so an obvious place to leave my spare ships!
That;s odd, doesn't do that for me. Although I am playing on a laptop through a 58'' TV, so perhaps not a good comparison.Thanks!

Borderless window mode?
Hit Alt+Enter a couple of times to see if that redraws the screen the right size.
Failing that, unplug the cable then plug it back in.
Well, that's odd. ALT ENTRT does nothing. Changing from borderless to full screen does nothing. Unplugging the HDMI did nothing. And, to top it all, I can't find the OSD control to move the screen position around. I'm a bit stumped.
I did find out that my case fans are blowing out a lot of hot air when the game is running though
Isn't the Empire against slavery? That's one of the reasons I joined on my last account. Though it was mostly just to simp for the anime chick.
Yeah, I'm just gonna wait on feedback. No rush.
And the Mandalay looks great.
