Daper101what is the point of the total mass thing in the outfitting ship menu


I believe that it effects your jump range, and it also effects what size of shields you can fit, as well as partially affecting overall maneuverability and top speed. Phisto would probably know more about the specific details.

Phisto SobaniiWell this week’s CG is creepy as hell.  Anyone else planning to blast the hell out of it?

I mean, just look at this: ‘Provisional tests indicate that students in the full flush of youth, unburdened with superfluous knowledge, respond extremely well to the programme, resulting in combat pilots of unprecedented skill.’



Well, it's over. The good guys lost.


When the bad guys got thousands of Commanders conditioned to chase the almighty credit we’re always going to have a hard time.

But hey. In it for the long haul, am I right?

Yep, and it is fun being the rebel.

I suspect more opportunities will come.

I figured out the perfect reason to add space legs. When the controller says the corridor is clear and it's not, I'd like the ability to go and beat him to death with his microphone.

Space legs: keep the masses pacified with oooh and aaah while the devs work on real game play issues. I approve of this. Sometimes i want to do nothing but walk around the corridors of my ship. Is that wrong? Why is this a future in which i'm glued to my chair?

Phisto SobaniiRemember how enormous these ships are. Creating high quality interiors would be a massive undertaking especially if it’s just for one, maybe four, Commanders to wander around inside them.


Hence why it'd be wise for FDev to commission another developer to create the Space Legs system if it were ever to come to fruition, so they can focus on the core space ship gameplay. As long as the third party is decent and is managed way better than Chris Roberts, it could be a viable way to see it happen. Enough people want it and there's many things you could do with Space Legs to make it worth having.

Phisto SobaniiA ‘fast travel’ system between areas of interest would be a solid solution, but I can already hear the pitch forks and torches crowd.



Why ? As long as it's a combination of lifts and walk belts and not teleportation noone needs to complain.


Maybe it'll be a virtual you, like they do with the fighters? Telephone presents, or whatever these youngsters call it.

Maybe if Star Citizen actually becomes a playbale game it will give Frontier a bit of a kick, otherwise they might start loosing players, Maybe

As Leif mentioned on Discord, I think it would be also good to bring it to attention here, as Fuel Rats are providing an invaluable service to the entire community:

CMDRs we need your help! Wollheim Vision in Fuelum, the home station for many Fuel Rats has been UA bombed and services are shut down. To anyone that is willing and able, we request Meta Alloys to be delivered. Our thanks in advance to anyone who can help. o7

How goes the progress in Fuelum. Does anyone have a tally of the MA's delivered so far?
19 Apr 2018, 3:16am
Wollheim Vision is locked down, or on the brink of closure? Because the report says it's on the brink of closure, and that's way easier to fix than a full lock down.

Happy to report, I have had word from elsewhere that Fuelum is now good.
