    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    I don't believe in miracles and in a fight between a fighter and a miner there is too much stacked against the miner to win anything but a phyrric victory. And I don't want to fight my way out of situations, but think of a way out of it that doesn't result in a competiotion of who is using the...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    The "Context of the question" wasn't that it isn't possible, but that if it isn't useful it won't be build. And like you wrote, the other options do have more use cases than just to store ore (and won't weigh as much) so they will be used. As long as fights are avoided you don't need weapons...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    Having no weapons is not a fault in most situations, except for one: fights, which miners avoid as much as they can, the same like fighters and gun ships avoid mining In any other situation they are deadweight (or would you put crates on your fighter). So I would say the fact that there are no...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    Let's say I fought off a pirate: In any case my ship is far from home, most likely damaged and therefor in need of thorough repeairs to kink out all durability errors to make the ship fast enough so that the travel back to a station doesn't take an eternity. For most it is simply more fun to...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    LODs need tuning, that is something the devs are saying themselves. So this will change in the future (hopefully for the better). Here's the thing: radiation sensors detect radiation. So if you have your ships powered down with little to no heat generation you can still have your cloaking...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    Answer those questions then, if these are only excuses. And who in their right mind mines while constantly looking around? We have at best 5km of render distance and probably more like 1.5, which correlates to about 33 seconds if the attacker is already moving or probably a minute if he is...

    PASSIVE SENSOR TYPES | How to find stuff & a reason to multi-crew

    Who has their settings set up for fighting? Who can put their all into spotting? Who is more likely to move around, showing the thruster trail? Who is more likely to spot the other? Who might not be on the ship? Who is already moving/aiming? Who get's the first shot? Who is more likely to be...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 7 (2022) - Siege insight

    not inside the belt unless it goes to a dock, if my info's still correct.

    What about Markka?

    Thing is, you can only sell ore at the "NPC" terminals (they are in the game - ore towers and inside the market - and regulate how low ore can be long term), so Markka has no advantage, as people won't go there if there is no ore and won't sell there if they can't profit, which is why I offered...

    Ship Repair in Space never works

    Are you connected to the ships ore containers (via resource bridge)? Are you looking at a blueprint vision of a completely missing part or are you looking at a damaged part? -For the former, make the part, place it into the world and go to the blueprint tab of the u-tool and one of the options...

    What about Markka?

    I think it could already be enough, if the different stations have different base prices (what the "NPC"/ore towers buy ores for) for certain materials to make exporting them more lucrative. For example increasing the base exorium price on arma (as Elysium does not have native exorium as far as...

    Magic

    I don't think this is the game for magic... if you can get some scifi components, sure though, go nuts. Even interesting material properties (and combinations) might fit. Magic has its place, and I like to read fantasy (and therefor often magic) quite a lot, but in my opinion this game would...

    Can you turn off a Station Transponder ?

    The station transponder is private by default. Just look at the stations tab and check your station - you should see all persons you have given access (and their rights) as well as 4 options for Company, Friends, Group and All. These are the transponder settings and are by default off (so only...

    Let's discuss: Who was the target audience for the EBM?

    I didn't have that bad of an experience with EBM. My main peeve was that I could get the crates to rotate, as it used the x,y,z buttons to rotate between two orientations and needed an additional button to go to the other two (was it shift or was it scroll back then?), which I thought was...

    PTU Update 14.1.2022 (PTU Build 752)

    My best guess is (because its been stated again and again that they learned that deadlines is not their forte) that they will refrain from giving ETAs for things that might or might not encounter a delay. He says it is in the works, and tying together features that techwise are already done is...

KaiFB: "because we are building such a patch" User2: "Is it going to include the laser magazine "fix"...

    How to make the game more real-world friendly

    Can't recall the video, but a few years back I watched one about Mirrors Edge and how the game gets unbelievably harder when colours/highlighting are turned off. So yeah, unless you want to make everyone find you don't use bright colors or ones that contrast with your environment.

    My little experiment with Nhurgite Price Leverage

    I had bought a sizable chunk of Ice, because I noticed that there weren't many offers anymore and just bought what I could sell for 1500 or 1200 (and why 1500: Ice has a real cap in the form of refill terminals where 1 stack Ice is about 1500 and change). Other ores only have a minimum (and some...
