TousaakThanks for all the help. Spud_ came to the rescue and brought me back to the bubble. I would have taken the long way home if necessary but that is more hours than I have at the moment. When I just park somewhere in the system away from everyone I usually end up with my ship blown up by some random NPC. LOL live and learn.



Raising a glass to Spud.

i use the feature to get the hell out of the belt once im done...if you are deep within the belt, it is quicker to go to main menu, log back in and instantly warp out than burn out of the mass lock and then warp.when you log off in the middle of the rocks obviously mass locked, then next time you log in you will be NOT mass locked and ready to warp out... so you can burn 30 secs out of mass lock , or log off log back in and warp.

Well I thank you all, but seriously I did something I am sure a lot of other folks would do. Thank you all.

Kind of a shame you can't have someone join your ship with multi-crew, then let them control the helm. Could start up a taxi service without needing a carrier.

Taxi services might actually be a thing after Odyssey. If a player can drop you off at a different location via multicrew, you could buy a sidewinder at the destination, and start building a fleet there.

I might have to buy another cutter and paint it taxi cab yellow

I sure wish I understood why they made the Clipper a large pad ship.... still does not make sense to me.

Clipper wing span is 103m. Just 8m less than cutter.

Igneel PrimeI thought it's a medium and the Type 7 was the only one like that lol


Type-7 is other beer... It's height is 2.5m higher than medium hangar that goes together with the landing pad.


... P. S. My numbers may not be precise.

  • The Clipper is the impractical ship you get when your designer is an artist.
  • The Type-7 is the compromise you get when your designer is a committee.
  • The Python is the ultimate workhorse you get when your designer is a visionary.

Change my mind.
