Okay, now that this game is coming into it's own, I'm ready to buy in. Busdy is buying an Aurora. What fighter should I buy to act as an escort in? ~$100 is my limit. I'm sorta boggled by the minutae. And...I'm really lusting after that Gladius, and wish it was a starter pack. CCU: Cross Chassis Upgrade, taking a starter pack with a different ship and adding extra money to make it the better ship. Once you have any game package, go here: Upgrades to select the package you want to upgrade and the ship you want it to be. For example, an Aurora that cost $30 would then cost $60 to make into a $90 Gladius. My suggestion would be get into the game, earn some rental credits, try out a Gladius, a Hornet and an Avenger and then decide if they're worth the extra cash for yourself. If you spawn on the space station and ask, someone will likely spawn any ship you want to try if you use the chat window. Kharn |

I think im ready to take the plunge. Is this game fairly fleshed out? How does it compare to Elite Dangerous?

View Quote SC and ED are both teenagers who are facing the challenges of growing into grown-up games. SC has the same GPA in school, but he's taking tougher courses. He's going to be a game-changer when he grows up...if he keeps his shit together long enough for that to happen. ED is destined for a middle-management desk job. Nothing super creative, risk-averse. But there's always hope that he'll get hypnotized at a self-help convention and become the person he pictures himself being when he plays Dungeons & Dragons by himself. |

Bought a two-pack of Cougar MFDs so I could stop trying to remember obscure keyboard shortcuts, needed extra USB ports, so I might as well get that front media center for my case, then a needed adapter and those $60 MFDs just ended up costing $135.

Check out some of the photoshopped layout cards for DCS, the WWII and Korea ones usually end up looking like part of the plane's instruments (sometimes with reference material in the middle like carb settings or stall speeds) while more modern stuff just gets a static MFD image that can be lame. I'll probably go with the former design, not sure how I'll handle the coloring, etc though since i don't have Photoshop. The one i found for SC was too cluttered and lacking in contrast to be usable.

Heads up, you can grab a freelancer max > prospector CCU for $0 in case you want to think on it. Storage wise it looks like an unarmed Freelancer Dur. I nabbed 3x CCU's in case anyone needs one. (I'm keeping one, but you know what I mean)
24m long 2x TR3 engines 128 units cargo 1 S1 fixed mount (so far) the rest is undecided for the most part https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15306-MISC-Prospector-Unearthed |

I don't like mining enough to spend that kind of money. I was confused earlier by their unique use of the word 'small'.

Well, crap. I only have 3 ships to work with....Archimedes, DUR, or MAX. Whatever happened to cross-chassis downgrades? I'd love to use the Super Hornet for this.
I really don't want to spend more money, but I'd really like a solo mining platform. Might have to sneak it in somehow. |

Question
What game modes are you guys enjoying the most? I find myself playing Arena Commander exclusively. With the latest patch I have a few ships to experiment with weapons and equipment to see what works best. Although ballistic weapons have an ammo count they do a good job of busting through shields and getting points. |

Mostly I screw around in the Crusader module and do the missions there or screw with people.

I decided to just convert the MAX to a Prospector. I didn't want to spend the $110 on my Archimedes, so my only options were my DUR or MAX...and I think I have enough cargo capacity, so I kept the DUR.
The Prospector is a great ship, I think. First real ship you can just go out solo and make a living with on your own terms...don't need missions, bounties, etc., although those will probably be more profitable. Look forward to playing it someday. |

Shame I don't think we'd have enough Prospectors to fill a Hull in one go, but it was a thought. 12 Prospectors, a Hull B, and escort fighter or two would be a perfect little setup. End up hauling 24 full miners of ore out in a go if the Hull gets filled, then the Prospectors fill up. |

I'm not crazy about mining, but I might pick up a Prospector. I grabbed a CCU, just in case.
