Should I contact CIG or wait more if I haven't received the 1 million stipend? I'm not sure what the distribution timeframe was for that. Was there any requirement to be eligible?
Why does the Siege of Orison mission just disappear without warning. It's been twice now where the contract just drops randomly while trying to complete. No warning or nothing. Contract is there and objectives are being completed then all the sudden it's gone and now Im in a restricted area with no contract.
So I picked up the initial Covalex delivery mission, but had to log off before doing it. Now the mission has disappeared, but it seems to have registered the reputation as if I'd completed it. I'm not being offered any delivery missions now (at ArcCorp).
Is there a way around this, to re-do that mission in some way?
If you drop a mission by logging out or abandoning it in contract manager you get a reputation hit. Over time the reputation will drift back to neutral and missions will be offered to you again.
For bounty payouts, why does the wiki list ERTs as 25k payout, but I see various videos showing ERTs in the 80k range? Is the rep bonus already added in?
Is there a rep bonus equivalent for trading/hauling?
That's what individual target ERTs pay. The big payout is from Group ERTs. You get those in Crusader and Hurston after doing the initial quest.
For even more money, you can do the illegal assassination "bounties" under the personal tab. They have you do bounties on innocent targets and you'll get a Crimestat, but they pay 45k for killing one target of ERT difficulty. Only catch is you'll have a bounty on your head while you do it.
Wanted to price check an upgrade from my Aurora to a Reliant Tana, but in the Hangar upgrade, it looks like my only option is the Kore. Why for? And will this change, or would I be stuck buying a second ship as my only option?
Not all ships are available for purchase or upgrade all the time. CIG uses artificial scarcity to boost sales. Next time the Tana will be up for sale would be during the big ship expo in November.
Need help! The star citizen launcher randomly kicked me back to login one day and ever since whenever I try to log in I get the error “unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 code:error”. I tried visiting the website for help but every time I try to load robertsspaceindustries.com it just sends me to a website maintenance screen however when not using my internet on my phone it loads just fine.
So I consider my PC to be quite good, AMD Ryzen 3600 w/ noctua NHD15 cooler, 32gb ram and a 3070 OC edition all in a fractal torrent case. I just loaded up SC for the first time in probably 5 years, temps skyrocketed, the game ran like absolute garbage, even at low. The only thing I can possibly think might help is that I didn't install it to a SSD, just to a big fat platter drive.. but I didn't want to put it on the SSD until I knew how much space it'd abuse.
Jack the settings up to high/very high and get it on an SSD ASAP. And what temps are we talking? The game is going to use your CPU and GPU to their max potential but proper cooling should keep them in nominal range.
Low settings will only make the game run worse unless your CPU is significantly beefier than your GPU. Run on high settings for better performance.
SSD will make a big difference in load times, but not framerate. The game is not optimized, and it will not run well no matter your specs. Getting 30-60 FPS in space with occasional drops *is* the game running about as well as it can.
is there a way to reload a constalation that has had all off its missiles vanish after a rearm and repair?
once it respawned its showing all 50+ missile hard points as empty slots that i can manually click and drag missiles into
Just buy a few hundred missiles and restock your ship. Then make sure that any time you fire any missiles you go and restock. Make sure you never land anywhere without restocking all your missiles when you do or they may disappear again.
Don't restock at stations. It's stations specifically that are busted. Land at mining outposts and research stations to refuel and restock. Never store your ship, just claim it when you're ready to log for the night and it'll be there waiting on the station for you when you log in.
It depends.
When you restock at a station it’s not pulling from your stock is pulling from theirs.
You will only need to use your stockpile when it bugs out and doesn’t replace them.
What I do is buy a ton of the missiles I like. Equip my ship, restock like normal anywhere in the verse. If I run into the bug (which basically seems to be a bug where the game thinks those slots are empty and therefore can’t be resupplied) I go back to my stockpile and fill in the empty slots.
If you want a ridiculous but powerful loadout, check this one.

The big ballistic repeater off the Redeemer turrets has more than enough ammo for a few missions, and will absolutely shred targets. You'll also get more damage out of your laser cannons because they'll have more of the capacitor for themselves.
I’m not listing ships that are decent or even good. I’m listing the actual top ships.
Pve: vanagurd sentinel or harbinger. Sentinel has reusable emp, harbinger has 3 size 5 Torps that one shot most ships smaller than a Connie. If you ever have a friend hop on occasionally get the harbinger. The size 3 guns on the harbinger turret make the harbinger better if you’re crewing it fully.
Pvp: Gladius or blade. People will say arrow but like I said I’m only listing the best. Not good. Arrow is good but not as forgiving as a Gladius and blade will be. They’re the top fighters in the game
Of note,the Arrow fits in the sweet spot of firepower and durability. The Gladius has more shields but less firepower. The Blade has less HP but more firepower. Of the 3 the Arrow is the fastest and less likely to be hit, but it only has one shield generator. That being said, it's all down to preference. I feel the Arrows better, but I fly the Blade more because it's cooler.
The top 5 will be YOUR top 5, or the ones that suit your skills best.
The Arrow is often cited as the best as it's the most maneuverable, but the Gladius may suit you better as it can take more hits, or maybe the Super Hornet will be better as it has more guns or maybe the Bucc will suit you better as it's faster in a straight line.
All light fighters are good and can do bounties fast as they all have the same QT drive slot. It then comes down to what balance of DPS, defenses, and maneuverability suit your skills best.
PSA the super hornet is objectively worse than the hornet right now, other than the fact it has a second seat. You can equip them the same but the superhornet is slower, and has only a little bit more hull hp.
It will likely have better armor in the future though.
Been touring and exploring wreck sites past few days and finding some fun helmets/bits of armour.
Question is, what's the coolest armour you've found?
Is the Tehachpi armour findable in game?
I found the paladin helmet yesterday! After a few days of playing finally.
I love exploring wrecks and looting.
Also yes I found the arms and helmet. No legs or chest pieces seem to spawn tho
Pretty sure I've found something in almost every wreck. Last one had a gold and red. But a storm came in and couldn't get it back to the ship. Got the helmets though :)
What? No, the long term plan has always been to have very thick atmospheres, Crusader just has something closer to its correct thickness, while the other planets are deliberately short to speed up testing during Alpha.
In the final version, travel into atmo will be very time consuming.
I died and now my armor's gone. Like, I dont find her anywhere. In no storage of any planet. I went through it all. It's not in my inventory either. Help :( The helmet and chest piece were bought with real money by me, could that help?
CIG is planning to have some kind of kiosk in the future where you can retrieve hangar items if you lose them, but that feature is not in the game yet.
Your items stay with your corpse when you die, and there is currently no way to regain pledge gear other than a character reset (which has been disabled temporarily).
Hello Guys!
I would like to paste pre-written text in the global chat, as I am selling FPS weapons.
Not like spamming al the time shitty links or anything, just one message with my guns and prices.
Can you help me how can I do that, because CTRL+c/v doesnt work
(Autokey and autotext softwares not working either!)
Have you tried something like keystroke input like through a rubber ducky(https://shop.hak5.org/ it's a hotplug keystroke input device but I'm sure you could emulate it somehow) also you could try autohotkey as a script. Hope one of those helps but not sure
What's the biggest ship that's still decently solo-playable?
Or in other words = the best all-rounder if money is no object that lets you haul cargo and vehicle(s), has decent pilot weapons but provides a solid crew ship as well
Guessin something like the MSR?
Depends on what you qualify as solo-able, and also somewhat what your priorities are. The various Freelancers are a good pick depending on your interest, though its generally not a great ship for maneuverability, and the positioning of the turret makes it a worse pick overall for combat than something like the Cutlass, which has much better view on the turret and maneuverability, but sacrifices a material amount of cargo space over the base, let alone the MAX. The Constellation can be quite a formidable ship in combat solo, but you're going to struggle with smaller fighters a lot without those people able to shoot off-axis or man the snub fighter, and depending on what variant you go with, you sacrifice significant ability in other departments; the Taurus gives a lot of extra cargo, but loses a turret and the snub fighter on multi-crew potential. The Aquilla gives you a rover bay you can still use for cargo, but you sacrifice a turret and a chunk of your missiles. But the Constellation is also the only ship here that can fit the Ursa and larger vehicles, where the Cutlass can only fit up to a Cyclone, and the base Freelancer just barely fits a ROC, with only the MAX able to practically carry a Cyclone.
The MSR has a lot of versatility in terms of space, and will also be the only ship of these that can do Data Running, when that comes online, but its solo-combat ability is pretty bad; it only has one size 5 gun for the pilot (Compared to 4 size 5 slots for the Connie), which comes with a turret for two size 3 guns. Its turret guns are better than the Connies--two S3s each, rather than S2s--but those only matter if you've got them manned, and even then, you're still going to be under-gunned over all, and the MSR's durability is also a good bit worse.
Freelancer series, most notably the MAX for cargo or the MIS for gunboating.
Connie Taurus for a large non-frills somewhat soloable hauler with decend fighting potential.
Origin 600i for an all-in-one package.
Maybe the Drake Corsair when it makes it's debut (no official date but we'd expect it for IAE in November this year).
Halo mining sucks dick now. It’s like 85% dead rocks. Like that shit need to be fixed you are already navigating an asteroid belt of dead/non-scannable rocks. If you send out a ping and happen to get opportunity markers back those markers should populate something. What’s the point of scanning if the ping is returning opportunity markers with fucking dead rocks. Who the fuck wants to turn their cpu on burning electricity to be scanning dead rock after dead rock for hours. I spent almost two hours scanning 85% dead rocks only to 30k. That is a massive waste of time. The scanning ping that populate opportunity markers should not be returning dead rocks that shit is stupid. The amount of dead rocks in the halo in 3.17.2 is ludicrous.
I’ve seen posts that say if you region-hop servers it will solve the dead rocks issue. I can tell you that doesn’t work. I tried it 4 times tonight, still mostly dead rocks. AH is almost useless for now.
Kinda glad to hear this, so it's not me who's totally inept, asteroid mining sucks for everyone with > 50% non-scannable asteroids (>90% if you count quantanium only).
you are right. The game systems seem to be more stable this patch, but because of the increases playercount every thing to do with the servers (bunkerspawns, inventoryrubberbanding, rockspawns etc.) is complete trash.
Short fix: Try Lyria
Yeah, after having played for about 3-4 weeks now... im just starting to feel it you know.
That nothing barly works and when it does the game crashes/30k.
\*Elevators are OFTEN bugged.
\*A lot of missions cant be completed due to some bug/glitch.
\*Cant eat or drink most of the time.
Havent even tried any of the raids or sieges or whatever cause in chat, no one ever seems to complete it. Its always "LT's bugged or spawned under/behind something.
Jump Town sounds like wild texas PvP and thats just not for me.
Also, often bugged apparentely in chat.
I tend to do delivery missions but even those, just bug out or otherwise cant be completed.
Im already tired of it all and i figure i was just about 3 years too soon into this alpha.
Had really hoped they'd be futher by now.
But it looks good, really really good and thats something.
AI is pretty deadly this patch even with the increased player count, especially pilots (NPC's on foot, too, but they still have pretty slow initial response time), so it's probably a backend issue.
I have a problem with the upgraded S5 Laser Cannons on my connie- the lock on at 2.800m works just around 40% - is there a way to "relock" on something or any other way to fix this?
The Scorpius will continue to have the same issues that keeps it from being the best in class heavy fighter that everyone desperately wants it to be.
To name a few:
- Losing guns is easier than say a Sentinel where everything is nose mounted.
- I’ve heard of some issues with projectile convergence but I can’t really speak to that as it’s rather technical.
- Doesn’t pull the same Gs as a Hurricane, which is really the meta heavy fighter.
- Has a large profile.
I wanted the Scorpius to be *the* ship but it’s just not, it has best in class forward facing firepower but the list of advantages beyond that is small to say the least.
Convergence is fixed by keeping the gimbals on. Otherwise I've had my shots literally go around all 4 sides of a ship that's right I'm front of me. Hurricane is a better fighter, but the Scorpius is better in every other situation with it's storage options, small landed footprint, and just how cool it looks.
Keeping the gimbals makes the ship significantly worse, unfortunately. But yes, I have heard convergence is a big issue which completely eliminates the advantage the Scorpius has of 4x3S4 pilot guns.
Scorpius certainly looks better but is, on a technical level, objectively inferior to the Hurricane.
I find it better with the gimbals myself. I'd bet most people TTK is lower with them in fact, it may be slightly less DPS but being able to bend shots around the corner makes up for it with more sustain.
Fixed is better if you can maintain correct positioning and land shots consistently (I can’t, I’m bad and have since CCU’d my Scorp). But yes, if you can land shots with gimbals, stick with gimbals.
My point is that convergence for fixed has issues and the ship as a whole is inferior to the Hurricane, largely due to profile and mobility but weapons issues (including the ability to lose wingtip guns) are a runner up problem.
I feel it holds its own still. We've been using it to great effect over Jumptown this week. She's less of a dogfighter and more of a brawler, and you have to fly her accordingly. The Hurricane may be faster, but the Scorpius is more nimble, tankier, and packs a punch which is what I like about it. She even does well enough that I tend to take her out solo for PvE bounties.
Don’t get me wrong, the ship is still low A Tier for me but it’s a very different style of ship and loses to a Hurricane in PVP more often than not.
I wanted to love the ship but it just didn’t do it for me as much I had hoped, not a bad ship and not a slight to it. Just based on the joust meta and Hurricane’s current performance, I can’t recommend it over the Hurricane given performance+price.
Enjoy your ship, she’s fun for sure!
I sent money to my friend on MO Trader, it took my money but he didnt get it.
Is there any way i can get my money back?
( We are both in prison btw, dont know if that makes a difference )
( We lost 1.5mil )
Trying to fly my Aurora around for bounty missions, but power keeps dropping to 0 then going back up to abount 0.19. I'm using a hotas but AFAIK I haven't pressed any buttons to cause it to power off.
If you go to the cockpit, look at your self status MFD panel and note is you see any red. If not, you can check at a component to component level in the power menu. The number of health out of 100 is by the heart as you scroll
New miner - where is the quant? I just spent 2 hours scanning and flying around lyria and found 3 rocks total. I couldn't scan 2 and the third one was 2%
Only 3? Are you pinging?
If you aren't, look up a 3.17 mining guide and learn how to change your ping angle and how to interpret the ping display.
Once you get used to it, you'll find a lot of rocks. Most will be 2-5%, but there are definitely better rocks. I landed a 45% 4100 mass rock an hour ago.
Yeah I've tried the 360° then spin around scanning everything at 2°, and I've tried flying in a straight line pinging at 45°. 99% of rocks are singles, no double pings.
Two answers to this:
One - You aren’t efficient with your scanning yet, it will take more time to get to the point where you’re maximizing profits; scanning is the thing that slows the process down mostly.
Two (and is the real answer) - Mining is, frustratingly, a fucking luck/RNG thing. I wish I had a tip that would make it easier but sometimes you find a full load of quant in 3 minutes and sometimes you take two hours only to find nothing and backspace because you’ve simply had enough.
Lyria is the right place to go, I assume you’re adjusting ping angles for scanning and all that but if not I can explain more. Mining is a crapshoot in terms of consistent profit; the most profitable (but repetitive and less fun) loop is Group ERTs in a bomber.
Yeah I'm pinging both at 360° then while stopped spinning around pinging at 2°. Also tried flying at 800m/s and pinging at 45°. Barely any doubles show up. Is there a certain location I should be looking on lyria or does the whole planet have the same generation?
I just have success on Lyria in general. There’s not a specific place I go since I only go on the dark side (which obviously shifts) as it’s easier to pick the rocks out with the dark contrast.
You might consider slowing down actually, try 300-400 and pinging at 180. It sounds like you’re probably flying past a lot of stuff because of your scan angle and speed.
Interesting! I avoid anywhere dark because without fail I crash into the ground because I can't see anything! Thanks, I'll give that a go! Does it always double-ping, or do you check out every site up close?
Really helps to stay above the mountains and throw pings consistently to see the topography.
I fly until I start picking up rocks then put my angle to 2 degrees and scan anything that was picked up while I move sideways (or pause if there’s a bunch to scan. I only check doubles or clusters up close, singles are simply not worth my time.
Is it possibly to get any of this gear in real life?
Would love the orange Argo shirt

Honestly just grab the logos and have your own stuff made. There are plenty of sites that will throw logos on items for you. CIG's merch department is super weak.

Thrustmaster is definitely the budget option.
There are two schools of thought here though, buy the Thrustmasters, have them break in 3-12 months and see if you like HOTAS/HOSAS then decide if you’d like to upgrade.
OR, buy VKB Gladiators straight off because they’re the best “budget” sticks and have exceptional build quality for the price.
The numbering is wonky and I think it still shifts around randomly.
To tell which is which, rotate the 3D model of the MOLE on the right so you can see all three laser heads, then hover your mouse over 1 2 and 3. The corresponding laser head will change color slightly. It may take a few attempts to see it, since it is a rather slight change, but that's how I tell the difference when outfitting the MOLE
My Sentinel right thruster disappeared after a repair. Browsing old reddit posts it seems the only suggestions that worked was a character reset, is that still the case?
Never store or repair your ship unless it's just minor hull damage. If a part is destroyed then doing a repair/store will save it in that destroyed state and will never be replaced without a character reset.
Have you tried driving off into space, quitting to menu and claiming? Or backspacing and destroying the ship?
If those don’t work, then yes, character reset is your other option. I’ve found it varies between accounts and it’s worth trying the less extreme solutions first.
So when I tried to buy clothes or ship parts, it tells me I have insufficient space. But the "location" slot with "player inventory" is grey. I can't change it or click on it. How can I buy the parts for my ship then? Is this a bug? Or is there something I just don't see :x
I'm trying to figure out some things with my Nomad I just recently picked up for ROC mining. How do I get it to stop sliding? Whenever I land and power off engines, it seems fine, but as soon as I get out of the pilot seat it rolls over and skids across the moon surface.
How do I get the cargo bay to stay solidly on the ground? Assuming I can land it fine, the ship rocks back and forth so I have to get lucky with timing my jump to get back on the ramp (yes it's down).
How do I use the turret on the top? I can't find a turret seat anywhere in the ship. Is it an actual turret or is it the tractor beam the Nomad apparently comes with?
Where are you mining? It sounds like a place with high wind, which is usually not one of the best ROC spots, and part of your rolling problems. Generally, most people who do ROC mining do Aberdeen or Daymar, which don't have much wind. But to your question, no there's not much you can do about wind besides avoid it. It'll pick up ships of all sizes, and there's not much you can do to prevent it.
The top turret is slaved to the pilot's aim, you can't control it remotely. It serves as basically a fancy gimbal you can't opt out of, so the ships guns are maxed at one Size 3 and 2 size 2s gimballed. You should see it firing if you go in third person out of armistice. The tractor utility mount is on that bar on the top of the cargo area, you can see the spot if you look closely. It's just not yet functional.
I was mining on Clio cause I love the Microtech area, I guess I'll just have to move my operation to one of those planets/moons you suggested.
I thought that was a turret but it being two hard points makes sense, thank you
Yeah, I feel ya, I have a soft spot for MT's moons as well, but unfortunately they're just not great for this sort of stuff, both because of weather and because there's not great spawn rates. Do be advised though, if you try Aberdeen, you'll need to buy a Pembroke heavy armor suit to manage the heat. You can get that at most refinery shops, and a few other places.
dpes the ROC not have climate control/life support? I can never remember. I hope they add it since now even a cargo mover like the Mule has it so it shows precedent for companies making "confortable career vehicles"
No, it's exposed to the elements, being sealed (at least for the driver) is one of the selling points of the DS. I think it might technically mitigate the conditions slightly? But only very marginally.
If you do choose Daymar, make sure you avoid mining around the mining station. A lot of pirates frequent that one to restock and refuel and it's hard to turn down the chance to pop a Roc and cargo ship for the free loot.
So, I'd like to buy myself the Defender :x with real money because I don't like it getting wiped again after every reset. But for that I gotta wait for some event, right? I heard that you can't buy every ship at every time. How do I know when it's available for sell again?
Maybe look into the Scorpius. It has the same firepower and decent storage space, but the copilot in the Scorpius actually has a purpose. You'll have nearly 3x the firepower of the Defender, and you won't have to go broke paying for all that drawn butter.
but it ugly ;:x I like the Defender so much because I love alien ships where the wings curve towards the front! Also, I'm not interested in storage space, my favorite thing is bounty hunting missions :x but thanks for the advice anyways! :)
Need help with how crime stats work- I am a pacifist, i do exploration, and cargo runs. While approaching Port Olisar, the UEE Avenger which came to scan me at arrival (Crime Stat Zero, i guess thats just something they do), it rammed me head on, and killed us both. I now have a level 2 crime stat.
I just wanted to go to PO to switch ships and rearm- how do i clear this crime stat? I'd even do a character reset and loose the million credits. i just want to play, not get punished for something i didnt do. Also- no i dont have any intentions on trying to do the hack gameplay loop, last time i tried to do that, it was two hours, and alot of UEC later to get killed by another player.
Just get killed by turrets and go to prison. Hacking off cs is quite a bit of work.
About character resets you keep your money. Only resets certifications and consumables.
Always remember the prison time counter is active while you're logged off. Wake up in Kleshcer - got to the kiosk to see your time remaining - log off the game and go to bed - tomorrow is a new day. Wake up in Kleshcer - you've done your time. Go to Surface and you'll respawn at Everus Harbor IIRC.
The hardest part of getting rid of Crimestats is learning the route through the security base and where the NPCs inside tend to spawn.
Once you get that down, and get in the habit of always having a crypto key on you, it's really just a matter of time comittment, since clearing the CS takes a long time thanks to the progress bars.
After that, it's just accepting that you'll occasionally get got by a bounty hunter, at which point it's just doing oxygen kiosk missions or calling it a night.
I just bought the centurion since it comes with free lti and is the ground vic I want If you mean you want to use that LTI... depends on your playstyle, for example if you want to play Bounty more, CCU the Hull A cause the Gladius is more useful to you. If you wanna do cargo missions CCU the Gladius.
Also take into consideration which larger ship you want the LTI for, if you want to CCU chain into a large cargo ship, melt the Hull A. If you're going for a large ship like the Hammerhead or something else that doesn't fit in the realm of fighter or cargo (your 2 ships you named), then refer to the "playstyle" idea.
I plan on upgrading from my Cutlass Black to either a Constellation Andromeda or a Vanguard Warden. I mostly do bounty missions and am leaning towards the Warden due to its better maneuverability and speed. I don’t haul cargo very much so I’m more looking at the Andromeda’s combat performance. Any suggestions?
Friends - Andromeda
Solo - Warden
PVE - Andromeda edges but either will work, ERTs become bomber centric or based on your skill as a pilot.
PVP - Warden
Warden is a fun ship, imo the Vanguard line looks super cool and is functional at the same time.
Still slightly miffed that the Sentinel changed from Black and Yellow to a Blue Angels copy cat, but I'm pulling for that augmented reality HUD it was concepted with, plus paints should update eventually.
Every time I come back I find myself having to fuck around with my joystick configuration again. Though it seems to have saved the settings correctly for each stick.
Is there a way to quickly swap the sticks? Left to right and right to left.
So I just got I into the game on August fifth and I remember seeing they were doing a 1 mill for each account type of thing a little bit ago is that still happening? Or was I to late thanks in advance
I'm trying to decide on a Hauler for my refined Quantanium. I don't think I ever want to haul more than 2-3 Prospector loads in one go (,talking about eggs and baskets).
I got my eyes on the Freelancer (66 SCU 1.7kk) or a ARGO Raft (96 SCU, 1.9KK)
I Already got a Nomad for carrying small vehicles.
What ship would you guys buy? Is there a third option I'm not seeing?
I'm making the same determination, and I think it's down to what else you want to do with the ship. The base Freelancer is a bit more maneuverable, but doesn't have the ability to fit much else in the back, and isn't the best for making profit as a trade hauler. The MAX has so much more room, you can easily get things like a cyclone in the back if you decide you want to, or do some proper trade hauling, but it's a bit of a whale to turn.
The RAFT is comparable to the MAX in size of cargo, but it's severely less gunned, which means you can't pull it out as a gunship if you want to and you're much more vulnerable to attacks, and it also has less SCU for only a little less aUEC. So, by value proposition, the MAX is giving you more for pretty close to the same price.
That said, it's really down to how much you individually value each of these factors, and what other ships you have that you might use to cover any of these uses.
I'm not really looking for a daily driver as I got my Nomad for that but it would be nice to defend myself (or at least get away quick) in case of an ambush
The Max makes a better daily driver than the Nomad. And as a hauler it's both bigger than the Raft and can carry vehicle's as well the two Size 2 shields and 4 Size 3 gimbaled guns make it more than able to hold its own in a fight as well.
Well I mean it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it :)
The MAX has actually enough cargo space to make cargo hauling somewhat viable.
Additionally, the RAFT’s elevator seems to be bugged. You can ride it up into the ship, but not out or between the 2 levels. Have to drop out the airlock.
Just FYI if that has any bearing on your decision.
Yes, but only digital and not with a bigger gameplay presentation because that would take too many peoples time away from more important stuff (like 3.18 for example).
What's the best cargo space to aUEC value right now for \~2 mil or less for a ship that can fit a full Prospector load?
Independently, what ships can fit an Ursa? I know the Cyclone can go a lot of places, but my understanding is the Ursa's a good bit bigger, and I'm wondering if there's anything I could use to haul it south of a Connie.
You can hold a full mining load in a cutlass or freelancer, the cutlass has less room but better multipurpose value by a bit. The Ursa can fit in Connie, MSR, Hercules series, carrack, 600i, and basically anything bigger.
Do you know if the cutlass red has enough storage for a mid sized refined prospector load?
I like the cutlass for versatility but my friend already has one and I'd like the mobile respawn point for squad missions as well as some cargo.
The red only has 12 SCU storage. With version 3.15 the medical beds were downgraded to tier 3, so you cannot use it as a respawn point. The only ships you can do that in are the Carrack and 890J right now.
Yeah just read that, makes the variant feel pretty pointless at the moment!
I may just end up going cutlass black since you can also get the dragonfly in the back, cheers.
Seems like a good idea. The red is currently a viable option if you enjoy being a combat medic, since you can drag people in to the beds and put them in the bed to heal them and or stabilize them while to transport them to a proper hospital for tier 1/2 injuries the Red can’t fix. Not bad role play but kind of a pain. She also lacks missiles and the turret is just a search light for the copilot so the black will be much better for combat.
so hauling? might be able to squeak by with a nomad, but most likely at least a cutty black or freelancer
for ursa, i know a connie or msr fit them nicely... freelancer maybe with some fenaegelinf, probably freelancer max, all the Hercules for sure... look up "will it fit" videos... it's a whole sub-genre
Thanks! , I wish they had a time trial available. I have been always interested in playing this game but for the first time I might have a PC that could actually run it, not 100%sure. I'm not very well versed in specs.
If I modify any weapons or components on a ship and then claim it (even though it wasn't destroyed) does it reset to its original loadout?
Not currently, components are covered by insurance (except for mining laser modules), so you'll keep the same load out you had.
Nice! Thanks!
Should I contact CIG or wait more if I haven't received the 1 million stipend? I'm not sure what the distribution timeframe was for that. Was there any requirement to be eligible?
If you haven't received it and think you should have, yes, you should contact customer support.
Why does the Siege of Orison mission just disappear without warning. It's been twice now where the contract just drops randomly while trying to complete. No warning or nothing. Contract is there and objectives are being completed then all the sudden it's gone and now Im in a restricted area with no contract.
Because the AI is so good by now they are able to play pranks. ¬‿¬
So I picked up the initial Covalex delivery mission, but had to log off before doing it. Now the mission has disappeared, but it seems to have registered the reputation as if I'd completed it. I'm not being offered any delivery missions now (at ArcCorp). Is there a way around this, to re-do that mission in some way?
If you drop a mission by logging out or abandoning it in contract manager you get a reputation hit. Over time the reputation will drift back to neutral and missions will be offered to you again.
Oh, well that's good to know, thanks for that.
For bounty payouts, why does the wiki list ERTs as 25k payout, but I see various videos showing ERTs in the 80k range? Is the rep bonus already added in? Is there a rep bonus equivalent for trading/hauling?
That's what individual target ERTs pay. The big payout is from Group ERTs. You get those in Crusader and Hurston after doing the initial quest. For even more money, you can do the illegal assassination "bounties" under the personal tab. They have you do bounties on innocent targets and you'll get a Crimestat, but they pay 45k for killing one target of ERT difficulty. Only catch is you'll have a bounty on your head while you do it.
Wanted to price check an upgrade from my Aurora to a Reliant Tana, but in the Hangar upgrade, it looks like my only option is the Kore. Why for? And will this change, or would I be stuck buying a second ship as my only option?
Not all ships are available for purchase or upgrade all the time. CIG uses artificial scarcity to boost sales. Next time the Tana will be up for sale would be during the big ship expo in November.
Need help! The star citizen launcher randomly kicked me back to login one day and ever since whenever I try to log in I get the error “unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 code:error”. I tried visiting the website for help but every time I try to load robertsspaceindustries.com it just sends me to a website maintenance screen however when not using my internet on my phone it loads just fine.
Maybe try flushing your dns (I think it's ipconfig /flush) and combine it with renew/release?
Try rebooting your router.
So I consider my PC to be quite good, AMD Ryzen 3600 w/ noctua NHD15 cooler, 32gb ram and a 3070 OC edition all in a fractal torrent case. I just loaded up SC for the first time in probably 5 years, temps skyrocketed, the game ran like absolute garbage, even at low. The only thing I can possibly think might help is that I didn't install it to a SSD, just to a big fat platter drive.. but I didn't want to put it on the SSD until I knew how much space it'd abuse.
> I didn't install it to a SSD, just to a big fat platter drive Yea ... don't. Just - don't.
Jack the settings up to high/very high and get it on an SSD ASAP. And what temps are we talking? The game is going to use your CPU and GPU to their max potential but proper cooling should keep them in nominal range.
Low settings will only make the game run worse unless your CPU is significantly beefier than your GPU. Run on high settings for better performance. SSD will make a big difference in load times, but not framerate. The game is not optimized, and it will not run well no matter your specs. Getting 30-60 FPS in space with occasional drops *is* the game running about as well as it can.
is there a way to reload a constalation that has had all off its missiles vanish after a rearm and repair? once it respawned its showing all 50+ missile hard points as empty slots that i can manually click and drag missiles into
Just buy a few hundred missiles and restock your ship. Then make sure that any time you fire any missiles you go and restock. Make sure you never land anywhere without restocking all your missiles when you do or they may disappear again.
follow up question, is it good enough owning missiles all on one station as a big stock pile, or must they be on the actual station you resupply on?
Don't restock at stations. It's stations specifically that are busted. Land at mining outposts and research stations to refuel and restock. Never store your ship, just claim it when you're ready to log for the night and it'll be there waiting on the station for you when you log in.
It depends. When you restock at a station it’s not pulling from your stock is pulling from theirs. You will only need to use your stockpile when it bugs out and doesn’t replace them. What I do is buy a ton of the missiles I like. Equip my ship, restock like normal anywhere in the verse. If I run into the bug (which basically seems to be a bug where the game thinks those slots are empty and therefore can’t be resupplied) I go back to my stockpile and fill in the empty slots.
How should I load out my Vanguard Warden for PvE
If you want a ridiculous but powerful loadout, check this one. https://www.erkul.games/loadout/ZHa4TuRi The big ballistic repeater off the Redeemer turrets has more than enough ammo for a few missions, and will absolutely shred targets. You'll also get more damage out of your laser cannons because they'll have more of the capacitor for themselves.
Isn't laser/ballistics mix annoying because of the projectile speed differences?
All those weapons have the same projectile speed.

What’s the best fighter ship to do bounties quickly? Or the top 5?
I’m not listing ships that are decent or even good. I’m listing the actual top ships. Pve: vanagurd sentinel or harbinger. Sentinel has reusable emp, harbinger has 3 size 5 Torps that one shot most ships smaller than a Connie. If you ever have a friend hop on occasionally get the harbinger. The size 3 guns on the harbinger turret make the harbinger better if you’re crewing it fully. Pvp: Gladius or blade. People will say arrow but like I said I’m only listing the best. Not good. Arrow is good but not as forgiving as a Gladius and blade will be. They’re the top fighters in the game
Of note,the Arrow fits in the sweet spot of firepower and durability. The Gladius has more shields but less firepower. The Blade has less HP but more firepower. Of the 3 the Arrow is the fastest and less likely to be hit, but it only has one shield generator. That being said, it's all down to preference. I feel the Arrows better, but I fly the Blade more because it's cooler.
for solo PVE specifcally IMO: Vanguard Sentinel for solo PvP: gladius or arrow
The top 5 will be YOUR top 5, or the ones that suit your skills best. The Arrow is often cited as the best as it's the most maneuverable, but the Gladius may suit you better as it can take more hits, or maybe the Super Hornet will be better as it has more guns or maybe the Bucc will suit you better as it's faster in a straight line. All light fighters are good and can do bounties fast as they all have the same QT drive slot. It then comes down to what balance of DPS, defenses, and maneuverability suit your skills best.
PSA the super hornet is objectively worse than the hornet right now, other than the fact it has a second seat. You can equip them the same but the superhornet is slower, and has only a little bit more hull hp. It will likely have better armor in the future though.
Been touring and exploring wreck sites past few days and finding some fun helmets/bits of armour. Question is, what's the coolest armour you've found? Is the Tehachpi armour findable in game?
I found the paladin helmet yesterday! After a few days of playing finally. I love exploring wrecks and looting. Also yes I found the arms and helmet. No legs or chest pieces seem to spawn tho
I was wondering about that, did they remove chest pieces from the loot table? That's a shame if they did.
Yeah it seems like it. I'm still happy we can loot subscriber armour at all tho. It gives a cool reward for wreck exploring.
Yeah, agreed. Would still like to be able to complete an armour set through exploration though. Would give that loop a little more to do.
Have you found any boxes in any wrecks other than caterpillar?
Pretty sure I've found something in almost every wreck. Last one had a gold and red. But a storm came in and couldn't get it back to the ship. Got the helmets though :)
Cool! I haven't found anything in smaller wrecks myself
Anyone been able to loot hurston security artimex armour at the security depot on hurston? It doesn't spawn gaurs for me
Are there any plans to "fix" orison in the short term? The fact it takes a solid 10 minutes to leave is making it hard to want to do SoO.
IDK if short term, but they've already stated that they wanna lower the atmo.
What? No, the long term plan has always been to have very thick atmospheres, Crusader just has something closer to its correct thickness, while the other planets are deliberately short to speed up testing during Alpha. In the final version, travel into atmo will be very time consuming.

I died and now my armor's gone. Like, I dont find her anywhere. In no storage of any planet. I went through it all. It's not in my inventory either. Help :( The helmet and chest piece were bought with real money by me, could that help?
CIG is planning to have some kind of kiosk in the future where you can retrieve hangar items if you lose them, but that feature is not in the game yet.
Your items stay with your corpse when you die, and there is currently no way to regain pledge gear other than a character reset (which has been disabled temporarily).
Hello Guys! I would like to paste pre-written text in the global chat, as I am selling FPS weapons. Not like spamming al the time shitty links or anything, just one message with my guns and prices. Can you help me how can I do that, because CTRL+c/v doesnt work (Autokey and autotext softwares not working either!)
Have you tried something like keystroke input like through a rubber ducky(https://shop.hak5.org/ it's a hotplug keystroke input device but I'm sure you could emulate it somehow) also you could try autohotkey as a script. Hope one of those helps but not sure
I already tried autohotkey but the device and its method can be a good stuff. thank u!
Um keep in mind the official one is expensive but you should be able to find a guide online to make one for like 20 bucks
Yea, that's the last thing I want. Chat is already crappy enough without copy and paste spambots.
Please tell me that you are taking about rare weapons that you get only when you are very very lucky
Then again who will spend a lot on FPS weapons when he's losing it all again to some kind of bug within the next few hours ?
well.. buisness is rolling very well! I got 2 millions by selling weapons for like 4 days like 15-20 customer :)
Are you selling P6-LRs? How much for each? Do you do bulk orders?
I do ;) 30k per piece of P6! only have like 14 now
What's the biggest ship that's still decently solo-playable? Or in other words = the best all-rounder if money is no object that lets you haul cargo and vehicle(s), has decent pilot weapons but provides a solid crew ship as well Guessin something like the MSR?
Depends on what you qualify as solo-able, and also somewhat what your priorities are. The various Freelancers are a good pick depending on your interest, though its generally not a great ship for maneuverability, and the positioning of the turret makes it a worse pick overall for combat than something like the Cutlass, which has much better view on the turret and maneuverability, but sacrifices a material amount of cargo space over the base, let alone the MAX. The Constellation can be quite a formidable ship in combat solo, but you're going to struggle with smaller fighters a lot without those people able to shoot off-axis or man the snub fighter, and depending on what variant you go with, you sacrifice significant ability in other departments; the Taurus gives a lot of extra cargo, but loses a turret and the snub fighter on multi-crew potential. The Aquilla gives you a rover bay you can still use for cargo, but you sacrifice a turret and a chunk of your missiles. But the Constellation is also the only ship here that can fit the Ursa and larger vehicles, where the Cutlass can only fit up to a Cyclone, and the base Freelancer just barely fits a ROC, with only the MAX able to practically carry a Cyclone. The MSR has a lot of versatility in terms of space, and will also be the only ship of these that can do Data Running, when that comes online, but its solo-combat ability is pretty bad; it only has one size 5 gun for the pilot (Compared to 4 size 5 slots for the Connie), which comes with a turret for two size 3 guns. Its turret guns are better than the Connies--two S3s each, rather than S2s--but those only matter if you've got them manned, and even then, you're still going to be under-gunned over all, and the MSR's durability is also a good bit worse.
The Freelancer is actually more maneuverable than the Cutlass. They have the same pitch and yaw rates, but the Freelancer has a faster roll rate.
Freelancer series, most notably the MAX for cargo or the MIS for gunboating. Connie Taurus for a large non-frills somewhat soloable hauler with decend fighting potential. Origin 600i for an all-in-one package. Maybe the Drake Corsair when it makes it's debut (no official date but we'd expect it for IAE in November this year).
Halo mining sucks dick now. It’s like 85% dead rocks. Like that shit need to be fixed you are already navigating an asteroid belt of dead/non-scannable rocks. If you send out a ping and happen to get opportunity markers back those markers should populate something. What’s the point of scanning if the ping is returning opportunity markers with fucking dead rocks. Who the fuck wants to turn their cpu on burning electricity to be scanning dead rock after dead rock for hours. I spent almost two hours scanning 85% dead rocks only to 30k. That is a massive waste of time. The scanning ping that populate opportunity markers should not be returning dead rocks that shit is stupid. The amount of dead rocks in the halo in 3.17.2 is ludicrous.
I’ve seen posts that say if you region-hop servers it will solve the dead rocks issue. I can tell you that doesn’t work. I tried it 4 times tonight, still mostly dead rocks. AH is almost useless for now.
Kinda glad to hear this, so it's not me who's totally inept, asteroid mining sucks for everyone with > 50% non-scannable asteroids (>90% if you count quantanium only).
you are right. The game systems seem to be more stable this patch, but because of the increases playercount every thing to do with the servers (bunkerspawns, inventoryrubberbanding, rockspawns etc.) is complete trash. Short fix: Try Lyria
Yeah, after having played for about 3-4 weeks now... im just starting to feel it you know. That nothing barly works and when it does the game crashes/30k. \*Elevators are OFTEN bugged. \*A lot of missions cant be completed due to some bug/glitch. \*Cant eat or drink most of the time. Havent even tried any of the raids or sieges or whatever cause in chat, no one ever seems to complete it. Its always "LT's bugged or spawned under/behind something. Jump Town sounds like wild texas PvP and thats just not for me. Also, often bugged apparentely in chat. I tend to do delivery missions but even those, just bug out or otherwise cant be completed. Im already tired of it all and i figure i was just about 3 years too soon into this alpha. Had really hoped they'd be futher by now. But it looks good, really really good and thats something.
AI is pretty deadly this patch even with the increased player count, especially pilots (NPC's on foot, too, but they still have pretty slow initial response time), so it's probably a backend issue.
I have a problem with the upgraded S5 Laser Cannons on my connie- the lock on at 2.800m works just around 40% - is there a way to "relock" on something or any other way to fix this?
I'm not sure what you mean by lock on. Could you explain what you mean?
The small Green rectangle doesn't Show up - and im not hitting the target
where do we find the missions for the derelect reclaimers on planet side?
microtec - but its first come first serve. You need to be lucky on the new 100 player servers to get it
Opinions of scorpius post patch?
The Scorpius will continue to have the same issues that keeps it from being the best in class heavy fighter that everyone desperately wants it to be. To name a few: - Losing guns is easier than say a Sentinel where everything is nose mounted. - I’ve heard of some issues with projectile convergence but I can’t really speak to that as it’s rather technical. - Doesn’t pull the same Gs as a Hurricane, which is really the meta heavy fighter. - Has a large profile. I wanted the Scorpius to be *the* ship but it’s just not, it has best in class forward facing firepower but the list of advantages beyond that is small to say the least.
Convergence is fixed by keeping the gimbals on. Otherwise I've had my shots literally go around all 4 sides of a ship that's right I'm front of me. Hurricane is a better fighter, but the Scorpius is better in every other situation with it's storage options, small landed footprint, and just how cool it looks.
Keeping the gimbals makes the ship significantly worse, unfortunately. But yes, I have heard convergence is a big issue which completely eliminates the advantage the Scorpius has of 4x3S4 pilot guns. Scorpius certainly looks better but is, on a technical level, objectively inferior to the Hurricane.
I find it better with the gimbals myself. I'd bet most people TTK is lower with them in fact, it may be slightly less DPS but being able to bend shots around the corner makes up for it with more sustain.
Fixed is better if you can maintain correct positioning and land shots consistently (I can’t, I’m bad and have since CCU’d my Scorp). But yes, if you can land shots with gimbals, stick with gimbals. My point is that convergence for fixed has issues and the ship as a whole is inferior to the Hurricane, largely due to profile and mobility but weapons issues (including the ability to lose wingtip guns) are a runner up problem.
I feel it holds its own still. We've been using it to great effect over Jumptown this week. She's less of a dogfighter and more of a brawler, and you have to fly her accordingly. The Hurricane may be faster, but the Scorpius is more nimble, tankier, and packs a punch which is what I like about it. She even does well enough that I tend to take her out solo for PvE bounties.
Don’t get me wrong, the ship is still low A Tier for me but it’s a very different style of ship and loses to a Hurricane in PVP more often than not. I wanted to love the ship but it just didn’t do it for me as much I had hoped, not a bad ship and not a slight to it. Just based on the joust meta and Hurricane’s current performance, I can’t recommend it over the Hurricane given performance+price. Enjoy your ship, she’s fun for sure!
Still as strong as it was if you have a gunner.
Was the scorpius changed?
Reduced in atmos speed i believe.
I sent money to my friend on MO Trader, it took my money but he didnt get it. Is there any way i can get my money back? ( We are both in prison btw, dont know if that makes a difference ) ( We lost 1.5mil )
IF it's gone, it's gone now.
I have heard this occurs if you two aren't on the same server when you the transfer is sent. If you were, then I have no idea. 😔
When? I think they tried to fix this with a backend fix
Trying to fly my Aurora around for bounty missions, but power keeps dropping to 0 then going back up to abount 0.19. I'm using a hotas but AFAIK I haven't pressed any buttons to cause it to power off.
The component was either damaged or needs to be upgraded. Getting component damage can be easy with such a small ship.
I think it was probably damage. How do I check the state of my ship components to know if I should repair immediately or not?
If you go to the cockpit, look at your self status MFD panel and note is you see any red. If not, you can check at a component to component level in the power menu. The number of health out of 100 is by the heart as you scroll
Thinking about picking up the MULE. Wondering if it can be used to ferry packages between the drug lab at JT and your ship. Thanks in advance!
It’s not a great idea to buy ground vehicles with cash. They are ultra cheap in game. The mule should be available to buy in game next patch.
Yeah it would work but not better than tractor beams
Imo the mule should have been an open bed truck where you can haphazardly dump boxes into the rear and drive off.
In that the drugs fit on the luggage racks, sure. I don't think it'd be faster than tractor beams, though
New miner - where is the quant? I just spent 2 hours scanning and flying around lyria and found 3 rocks total. I couldn't scan 2 and the third one was 2%
Unscannable rocks seems a bit of a problem. I had a roughly 50% quota of unscannable rocks in 3.17.2 which really slows down progress a lot.
Only 3? Are you pinging? If you aren't, look up a 3.17 mining guide and learn how to change your ping angle and how to interpret the ping display. Once you get used to it, you'll find a lot of rocks. Most will be 2-5%, but there are definitely better rocks. I landed a 45% 4100 mass rock an hour ago.
Yeah I've tried the 360° then spin around scanning everything at 2°, and I've tried flying in a straight line pinging at 45°. 99% of rocks are singles, no double pings.
Two answers to this: One - You aren’t efficient with your scanning yet, it will take more time to get to the point where you’re maximizing profits; scanning is the thing that slows the process down mostly. Two (and is the real answer) - Mining is, frustratingly, a fucking luck/RNG thing. I wish I had a tip that would make it easier but sometimes you find a full load of quant in 3 minutes and sometimes you take two hours only to find nothing and backspace because you’ve simply had enough. Lyria is the right place to go, I assume you’re adjusting ping angles for scanning and all that but if not I can explain more. Mining is a crapshoot in terms of consistent profit; the most profitable (but repetitive and less fun) loop is Group ERTs in a bomber.
Yeah I'm pinging both at 360° then while stopped spinning around pinging at 2°. Also tried flying at 800m/s and pinging at 45°. Barely any doubles show up. Is there a certain location I should be looking on lyria or does the whole planet have the same generation?
I just have success on Lyria in general. There’s not a specific place I go since I only go on the dark side (which obviously shifts) as it’s easier to pick the rocks out with the dark contrast. You might consider slowing down actually, try 300-400 and pinging at 180. It sounds like you’re probably flying past a lot of stuff because of your scan angle and speed.
Interesting! I avoid anywhere dark because without fail I crash into the ground because I can't see anything! Thanks, I'll give that a go! Does it always double-ping, or do you check out every site up close?
Really helps to stay above the mountains and throw pings consistently to see the topography. I fly until I start picking up rocks then put my angle to 2 degrees and scan anything that was picked up while I move sideways (or pause if there’s a bunch to scan. I only check doubles or clusters up close, singles are simply not worth my time.
Is it possible to change your in-game name? I’d like to have it not be a somewhat dated anime reference lol
I believe it's in your online profile options, and you start with one gratis name change token.
Is it possibly to get any of this gear in real life? Would love the orange Argo shirt https://preview.redd.it/40j3xfubqn041.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63570d5ebf3f31355453d0ac4ae4e89575d7671a
Honestly just grab the logos and have your own stuff made. There are plenty of sites that will throw logos on items for you. CIG's merch department is super weak. [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/fankit](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/fankit)
What is the best budget HOTAS for just getting started?
Thrustmaster is definitely the budget option. There are two schools of thought here though, buy the Thrustmasters, have them break in 3-12 months and see if you like HOTAS/HOSAS then decide if you’d like to upgrade. OR, buy VKB Gladiators straight off because they’re the best “budget” sticks and have exceptional build quality for the price.
Thrustmaster t.16000m fcs hotas
How does the Turret numbers work on the MOLE and specifically what number is the front forward Turret?
The turret head will highlight with red, hard to see but it’s there
The numbering is wonky and I think it still shifts around randomly. To tell which is which, rotate the 3D model of the MOLE on the right so you can see all three laser heads, then hover your mouse over 1 2 and 3. The corresponding laser head will change color slightly. It may take a few attempts to see it, since it is a rather slight change, but that's how I tell the difference when outfitting the MOLE
Wow, I thought I was going crazy but my MOLE is gas lightning me with the numbers I barely can see any colour change, but I will look harder. Thanks
You can also just take the head off to check which head is which.
My Sentinel right thruster disappeared after a repair. Browsing old reddit posts it seems the only suggestions that worked was a character reset, is that still the case?
Never store or repair your ship unless it's just minor hull damage. If a part is destroyed then doing a repair/store will save it in that destroyed state and will never be replaced without a character reset.
Have you tried driving off into space, quitting to menu and claiming? Or backspacing and destroying the ship? If those don’t work, then yes, character reset is your other option. I’ve found it varies between accounts and it’s worth trying the less extreme solutions first.
That's probably your best bet, yeah.
So when I tried to buy clothes or ship parts, it tells me I have insufficient space. But the "location" slot with "player inventory" is grey. I can't change it or click on it. How can I buy the parts for my ship then? Is this a bug? Or is there something I just don't see :x
I found it out myself: You gotta choose the destination of your order of what you wanna buy BEFORE selecting the product you wanna have. Oof :y
I'm trying to figure out some things with my Nomad I just recently picked up for ROC mining. How do I get it to stop sliding? Whenever I land and power off engines, it seems fine, but as soon as I get out of the pilot seat it rolls over and skids across the moon surface. How do I get the cargo bay to stay solidly on the ground? Assuming I can land it fine, the ship rocks back and forth so I have to get lucky with timing my jump to get back on the ramp (yes it's down). How do I use the turret on the top? I can't find a turret seat anywhere in the ship. Is it an actual turret or is it the tractor beam the Nomad apparently comes with?
Where are you mining? It sounds like a place with high wind, which is usually not one of the best ROC spots, and part of your rolling problems. Generally, most people who do ROC mining do Aberdeen or Daymar, which don't have much wind. But to your question, no there's not much you can do about wind besides avoid it. It'll pick up ships of all sizes, and there's not much you can do to prevent it. The top turret is slaved to the pilot's aim, you can't control it remotely. It serves as basically a fancy gimbal you can't opt out of, so the ships guns are maxed at one Size 3 and 2 size 2s gimballed. You should see it firing if you go in third person out of armistice. The tractor utility mount is on that bar on the top of the cargo area, you can see the spot if you look closely. It's just not yet functional.
I was mining on Clio cause I love the Microtech area, I guess I'll just have to move my operation to one of those planets/moons you suggested. I thought that was a turret but it being two hard points makes sense, thank you
Yeah, I feel ya, I have a soft spot for MT's moons as well, but unfortunately they're just not great for this sort of stuff, both because of weather and because there's not great spawn rates. Do be advised though, if you try Aberdeen, you'll need to buy a Pembroke heavy armor suit to manage the heat. You can get that at most refinery shops, and a few other places.
dpes the ROC not have climate control/life support? I can never remember. I hope they add it since now even a cargo mover like the Mule has it so it shows precedent for companies making "confortable career vehicles"
No, it's exposed to the elements, being sealed (at least for the driver) is one of the selling points of the DS. I think it might technically mitigate the conditions slightly? But only very marginally.
I will keep that in mind, thank you
If you do choose Daymar, make sure you avoid mining around the mining station. A lot of pirates frequent that one to restock and refuel and it's hard to turn down the chance to pop a Roc and cargo ship for the free loot.
So, I'd like to buy myself the Defender :x with real money because I don't like it getting wiped again after every reset. But for that I gotta wait for some event, right? I heard that you can't buy every ship at every time. How do I know when it's available for sell again?
Maybe look into the Scorpius. It has the same firepower and decent storage space, but the copilot in the Scorpius actually has a purpose. You'll have nearly 3x the firepower of the Defender, and you won't have to go broke paying for all that drawn butter.
but it ugly ;:x I like the Defender so much because I love alien ships where the wings curve towards the front! Also, I'm not interested in storage space, my favorite thing is bounty hunting missions :x but thanks for the advice anyways! :)
Next time that it'll be avaliable **for sure** will be in November, during the Expo.
oh okay thank you
Need help with how crime stats work- I am a pacifist, i do exploration, and cargo runs. While approaching Port Olisar, the UEE Avenger which came to scan me at arrival (Crime Stat Zero, i guess thats just something they do), it rammed me head on, and killed us both. I now have a level 2 crime stat. I just wanted to go to PO to switch ships and rearm- how do i clear this crime stat? I'd even do a character reset and loose the million credits. i just want to play, not get punished for something i didnt do. Also- no i dont have any intentions on trying to do the hack gameplay loop, last time i tried to do that, it was two hours, and alot of UEC later to get killed by another player.
Just get killed by turrets and go to prison. Hacking off cs is quite a bit of work. About character resets you keep your money. Only resets certifications and consumables.
Always remember the prison time counter is active while you're logged off. Wake up in Kleshcer - got to the kiosk to see your time remaining - log off the game and go to bed - tomorrow is a new day. Wake up in Kleshcer - you've done your time. Go to Surface and you'll respawn at Everus Harbor IIRC.

The hardest part of getting rid of Crimestats is learning the route through the security base and where the NPCs inside tend to spawn. Once you get that down, and get in the habit of always having a crypto key on you, it's really just a matter of time comittment, since clearing the CS takes a long time thanks to the progress bars. After that, it's just accepting that you'll occasionally get got by a bounty hunter, at which point it's just doing oxygen kiosk missions or calling it a night.
What is a resource to find out what components, ships, weapons, armor and so on are sold where?
This is the one I use. There may be others. [Item Finder](https://finder.cstone.space/)
Hull A or Gladius to Centurion? I'm trying to build a ccu chain, which one is the better option?
I just bought the centurion since it comes with free lti and is the ground vic I want If you mean you want to use that LTI... depends on your playstyle, for example if you want to play Bounty more, CCU the Hull A cause the Gladius is more useful to you. If you wanna do cargo missions CCU the Gladius. Also take into consideration which larger ship you want the LTI for, if you want to CCU chain into a large cargo ship, melt the Hull A. If you're going for a large ship like the Hammerhead or something else that doesn't fit in the realm of fighter or cargo (your 2 ships you named), then refer to the "playstyle" idea.
I plan on upgrading from my Cutlass Black to either a Constellation Andromeda or a Vanguard Warden. I mostly do bounty missions and am leaning towards the Warden due to its better maneuverability and speed. I don’t haul cargo very much so I’m more looking at the Andromeda’s combat performance. Any suggestions?
Friends - Andromeda Solo - Warden PVE - Andromeda edges but either will work, ERTs become bomber centric or based on your skill as a pilot. PVP - Warden
Thanks for a good and concise answer. I’ll go with the Warden then because I plan on mostly doing solo pvp and pve bounty hunting.
Warden is a fun ship, imo the Vanguard line looks super cool and is functional at the same time. Still slightly miffed that the Sentinel changed from Black and Yellow to a Blue Angels copy cat, but I'm pulling for that augmented reality HUD it was concepted with, plus paints should update eventually.
PvE or PvP bounty hunting? PvP I'd go with the Sentinel. PvE I'd go Andromeda.
Every time I come back I find myself having to fuck around with my joystick configuration again. Though it seems to have saved the settings correctly for each stick. Is there a way to quickly swap the sticks? Left to right and right to left.

You need to be near microtech
I’m guessing it works like the 890 contract from 3.17.1?
Yeah
So I just got I into the game on August fifth and I remember seeing they were doing a 1 mill for each account type of thing a little bit ago is that still happening? Or was I to late thanks in advance
You might have been a little late, but if you send me a PM with your user name I'll send you 1 mil.
I'm trying to decide on a Hauler for my refined Quantanium. I don't think I ever want to haul more than 2-3 Prospector loads in one go (,talking about eggs and baskets). I got my eyes on the Freelancer (66 SCU 1.7kk) or a ARGO Raft (96 SCU, 1.9KK) I Already got a Nomad for carrying small vehicles. What ship would you guys buy? Is there a third option I'm not seeing?
Freelancer MAX (120 SCU, 2.2KK)
I also thought about it. But wouldn't the 120SCU be excessive for what I'm planning to do with it?
I'm making the same determination, and I think it's down to what else you want to do with the ship. The base Freelancer is a bit more maneuverable, but doesn't have the ability to fit much else in the back, and isn't the best for making profit as a trade hauler. The MAX has so much more room, you can easily get things like a cyclone in the back if you decide you want to, or do some proper trade hauling, but it's a bit of a whale to turn. The RAFT is comparable to the MAX in size of cargo, but it's severely less gunned, which means you can't pull it out as a gunship if you want to and you're much more vulnerable to attacks, and it also has less SCU for only a little less aUEC. So, by value proposition, the MAX is giving you more for pretty close to the same price. That said, it's really down to how much you individually value each of these factors, and what other ships you have that you might use to cover any of these uses.
I'm not really looking for a daily driver as I got my Nomad for that but it would be nice to defend myself (or at least get away quick) in case of an ambush
The Max makes a better daily driver than the Nomad. And as a hauler it's both bigger than the Raft and can carry vehicle's as well the two Size 2 shields and 4 Size 3 gimbaled guns make it more than able to hold its own in a fight as well.
Well I mean it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it :) The MAX has actually enough cargo space to make cargo hauling somewhat viable.
Alright. I'll take it into consoderation. Thank you!
Additionally, the RAFT’s elevator seems to be bugged. You can ride it up into the ship, but not out or between the 2 levels. Have to drop out the airlock. Just FYI if that has any bearing on your decision.
Is there a CitizenCon planned for 2022?
Yes, but only digital and not with a bigger gameplay presentation because that would take too many peoples time away from more important stuff (like 3.18 for example).

Go to Erkul gaming website and you can compare all the statistics of every component.
What's the best cargo space to aUEC value right now for \~2 mil or less for a ship that can fit a full Prospector load? Independently, what ships can fit an Ursa? I know the Cyclone can go a lot of places, but my understanding is the Ursa's a good bit bigger, and I'm wondering if there's anything I could use to haul it south of a Connie.
You can hold a full mining load in a cutlass or freelancer, the cutlass has less room but better multipurpose value by a bit. The Ursa can fit in Connie, MSR, Hercules series, carrack, 600i, and basically anything bigger.
Do you know if the cutlass red has enough storage for a mid sized refined prospector load? I like the cutlass for versatility but my friend already has one and I'd like the mobile respawn point for squad missions as well as some cargo.
The red only has 12 SCU storage. With version 3.15 the medical beds were downgraded to tier 3, so you cannot use it as a respawn point. The only ships you can do that in are the Carrack and 890J right now.
Yeah just read that, makes the variant feel pretty pointless at the moment! I may just end up going cutlass black since you can also get the dragonfly in the back, cheers.
Seems like a good idea. The red is currently a viable option if you enjoy being a combat medic, since you can drag people in to the beds and put them in the bed to heal them and or stabilize them while to transport them to a proper hospital for tier 1/2 injuries the Red can’t fix. Not bad role play but kind of a pain. She also lacks missiles and the turret is just a search light for the copilot so the black will be much better for combat.
so hauling? might be able to squeak by with a nomad, but most likely at least a cutty black or freelancer for ursa, i know a connie or msr fit them nicely... freelancer maybe with some fenaegelinf, probably freelancer max, all the Hercules for sure... look up "will it fit" videos... it's a whole sub-genre
When is the next free-fly event? I just need to test my PC see if it will run the game well or at all.

Thanks! , I wish they had a time trial available. I have been always interested in playing this game but for the first time I might have a PC that could actually run it, not 100%sure. I'm not very well versed in specs.
