KurakilWell I mean combat in addition to exploring... but not at the same time. You know, keeping options open rather than a 1-trick pony.


Combat Dolphin is a hell of a lolwagen.


Not as much as an exploration T-9.


One of our Squadron members completed Distant Worlds 2 in a T-9 exploration build

btw it is not such a problem. It is slow and not really far, but can explore. The real funny stuff is mining Sidewinder...

A.G.DuranIf I'll transfer ship to a station, can I see it's arrival?


I have tried keeping an eye out for a ship transfer arrival, after a few unsuccessful attempts I concluded there must be a rear delivery entrance to the station

SakashiroImagine shortening the most profitable hauling operation of the year by more than three days for a reward of 18 million or less.

This CG was an IQ test, and more than 8,000 players failed it.

So when I am rich and not interested about another money, that mean I am dumb

Imagine folks living on a carrier for years, they do exploration & exo, mine tritium and live like that without visiting the bubble. Like Dredger clans, but players.

KurakilI feel like I'm the only one who uses the Dolphin as an exploration vessel...

Now that I explore in short hops, I pretty much use the Dolphin or Asp Scout exclusively. Dolphin is almost perfect - control jump range between 25 - 55ly, 7 jump fuel tank, fast scoops, FSD while scooping with no heat issues, fast and agile but with plenty of optionals, can spin on a pin and land anywhere. It's only issues are visibility and ship-shake.

i spend my exploring / test anaconda a class 7 fuel tank.. now i can jump 1000 ly without refulling but refulling takes a while.. enough time for grinding and brewing a ´real´ coffee, i love coffee

If you were hauling tritium in that CG, you were interested in money. I don't care if you claim otherwise.

no, credits are welcome no matter how much you have,
the failure was signing up for it, you could still make your money without signing up which in turn would not end sooner like mr B said,
so yes I failed the IQ test like the other 8000 players, and that makes me dumb dumb,
hell I got stuck with 700 tritium that I had to give away to some random carrier,
but I will have my revenge Fdev, mark my words, you will pay for this evil trickery

in settings check controls to see what its set too
key binding in this game is very complex but when you get it dialed in you have full control

Is it just me, or has the NPC piracy spam really increased? Grinding away trading since I was in the black during CG, since my return, I have had NPCs attempt interdiction almost every single jump. Open and solo.....gets kinda annoying.

check your ship emails, you might have a mission you're ignoring the warnings.
