Be me: but he has video showing that it's easy to escape

be them: Yeah but they're still wrong

be me: .. how is he wrong when he has video showing it?

be them: completely ignores me and proceeds to argue with others

Guy was trying to say that MM screws industrial ships because they can never get away now. I see a lot of arguments saying this, but that's not what I'm SEEING in action.

SCL confirmed bed logging will be a buff if you get a good night's sleep, but bed logging will not be a requirement. You'll log out and log in where you left off.

YES this is exactly how it should be, and it's what I've been suggesting for quite awhile now.

Hell yeah~

3.23 wipe confirmed on SCL today. aUEC and rented ships were mentioned specifically.

100% expected this. They explained that it's for their analytics regarding their changed economy, which is obvious and was fully expected but there we go!

So, Elite: Dangerous is selling ships for real money now but in a twist they're kind of doing it worse than Star Citizen. Not in regards to the price tag - yet, anyway, but there are about 3 more ships not yet revealed - but in that the ship sells with at least some engineering completed.

If you've ever played E:D then you how straight-up pay to win engineering is vs non-engineered ships.

This is also on their brand new PvP focused ship, which just makes it all the more silly.

If there's a silver lining it's that you can grind out their item mall currency via game play, with some caps to how quickly it's earned in-game. I can't be bothered to look it up but, in theory, players will eventually be able to buy the ship via grinding. How long (or not) that'll take I don't know.

and if Elite is anything, it's a grind. So yeah, that's on brand I suppose.

OTOH, FDev, rather unsurprisingly IMO, is breaking a promise after saying they'd never do this with their item mall.

The funny thing about being P2W is that in Star Citizen you can spend disgusting amounts of money on ships but the bigger the ship, the more necessary the crew. Engineering (actual engineering, not ED's button click RNG) now exists in Arena Commander & is proven to necessitate a crew.

Where as in ED you can buy a big ship and multicrew is a side thought. The ships are intended to fly solo.

Spend the big money in SC & you need a crew to handle encounters. Get a big ship in ED, you fly it solo.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Players are raking in millions from a single salvaging job and here I am making my first million from mining after about a week.

This is a final profit of about 300K, which ain't great, but this is using rented vehicles. Those vehicles cost me a total of 170,952 aUEC.

The rented miner can't have its equipment upgraded so it's quite inefficient. It can't mine the best rocks.

To buy the Hull A I'll need another 290,853 aUEC. So, another week.

I can't help but wonder if they're going to wipe aUEC and / or ships. The reason for pondering this situation is simple.

First, people are making several million credits in one salvaging job. That's insane.

Second, they're adjusting the economy. Ships and guns are both having their prices changed significantly.

They can't test the impact of those new prices when everyone has over 10 million aUEC.

And if you have ships, then you don't need to buy them.

So I do wonder if I'll keep this ship.😆

hot take: we don't need 4k monitors

ezlin,
@ezlin@gamepad.club avatar

@root

Kind of agree, kind of disagree. 3+ monitors are better than a single large monitor. You could, for example, run 3 monitors at 4K and that would be a better experience than multiple 720p displays.

But if you're choosing between a single 4K display or multiple 720p displays, well, I'd say go for 1440p displays rather than 720p, but other than that I'd agree.

ezlin,
@ezlin@gamepad.club avatar

@root

Valid. I also can't afford multiple 4K displays.

In that case, multiple smaller monitors is definitely better. :blobcatgiggle:

    Typical. "Rules for thee but not for me". I know that people dislike regulation, but this is why regulation (and existing laws) need to exist and to be enforced.

    In land I was able to mine enough material to get a single work order going. It's still buggy ala last night's post, but at least some of the rocks worked today.

    Had I known that it was so flaky this patch I never would have rented this Prospector. :nkoFacepalm:

    But it is what it is. I'll see if I can get a few refinery jobs going and at least make back the aUEC spent on renting this ship.

    ...then I'll need a cargo ship, but one step at a time. :blobcatshrug:

    What's wrong with the Hull A? I've considered picking it up. :ablobfoxhyperthinking:

    @bloodaxe

    Oh no, with the Hull C out I was hoping that this behavior was working fine now. 😅

    Well crud. As much as I want the Hull A maybe I'll aim for the Freelancer (base). It's not terribly more expensive (until the aUEC price hikes in 3.23). It's old, but they're polishing it a bit (internals, doors) for 3.23..

    The only April Fool's joke that needs to exist this year. :blobcatlaugh:

    They should absolutely sell this for $1, or whatever absolute minimum that their payment processor will allow. There's not a single person with the game who wouldn't buy one of these.

    This was a magnificent play.

    Being that we're on computers, posts to Twitter, Masto, & other online services should already automatically translate things like the date, time and temperature to the local viewer's format. It's rather silly that this isn't already the case, yes?

    Admittedly this would require that the user type it in a specific way but that's not difficult. Using Vencord, for example, I can type 3:00 pm using these singular back ticks around the time, and it'll automatically send it as a Discord time stamp.
