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.

@root

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

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

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:

Either the compression has caused issues with some of the shadows, or that's an artifact of Auto HDR. Not sure, HDR does not play well with screen shots and I forgot use the XBox Game Bar to capture these images.

Anyway.

Hello fellow healers.

I ran through Stone Vigil for the first time today. Let me tell you, it sucks raw eggs through a straw.

No equivalent of Cure 2. No addersgall abilities. No AoE.

Thank goodness I warned the tank ahead of time that I'd be rough on this particular job, and they were quite patient.

What the heck are you supposed to do in there as Sage? Lvl 41 dungeon.

Experimenting with SCU containers on the 400i, and I am tempted to try an 8 SCU to see if it'll fit along the side of the cargo bin.

Here you see a 4 SCU standing on its side, a 2 SCU that I've learned fits nicely into 400i's cooled area, and a 1 SCU box at the side.

This expands storage considerably.

I could buy cargo, move the boxes to the side like this, then buy more. Were I so inclined. :blobcatthinking2:

Considering swapping the Auspicious Red Dragon 400i paint for the Fortuna paint. ๐Ÿค”

The "red dragon" paint isn't red and gold like it's supposed to be, so the ship looks like a big red tomato. :blobcatgiggle:

Both are $11 cosmetics so I could "melt' the Red Dragon paint and just swap in the pleasant green Fortuna.

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.

ezlin,
@ezlin@gamepad.club avatar

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.๐Ÿ˜†

The thing that annoys me the most about and is that I damn near bought SQ42.

Then I was like, nah, I'll buy it later - it hasn't had big movement in so many years! It'll be there a bit later.

Shortly there after: Yoink!

Fuck my life :blobcatlaugh:

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.

ezlin,
@ezlin@gamepad.club avatar

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.

ezlin,
@ezlin@gamepad.club avatar

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.

#StarCitizen 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!

The ISC was pretty good, although (via SaltEMike) I'm hearing some rough things about the start map. Kind of hoping for the best there because oof. Pretty disappointed by that and hoping that some of it is improved via Evo feedback. Time will tell.

It's not all bad, he says that setting quantum destinations is easier.

and the new UI for everything else looks /so/ good, IMO.

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~

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.
