So it seems that CIG decided to cease selling the F7C Hornet Mk1 in favour of the F7C Hornet Mk2. It kinda makes sense from an in-universe Lore and I like that they just don't replace all Hornet Mk1s with the Mk2s like they did previously with the reworks of several Ship Classes (freelancer, Mustang, Constellation) and that they continue working on it, getting it to gold pass and keeping the specs up to date.

When I look at the stats of the Hornets it dawned on me that the Upgrade between Mk1 and Mk2 isn't that significant, its wing hardpoints were upgraded from S3 to S4 and its body got slimmer (less Hydrogen Fuel and less Ordnances), so why not continue flying that old lady?

Do you think this Marketing Stun is just for FOMO? Several citizens in the linked Spectrum FAQ regarding the out-phasing think it is.

So with the introduction of Vehicle Mounted Tractor Beams, I have come back to the Origin 315P.

It has all the amenities of the 300i and 325A, but also the maximum of Cargo Capacity (12 SCU). But the question is, is the 315P with its Sure Grip Tractor Beam instead of the S4 nose hardpoint worth it?

Sure you can pull Cargo with it, but you simply can't pull cargo onto your lift since it isn't a remote turret, and even then the fore cargo lift has its barrier in between the turret and the lift making it impossible to just pull and push the crates in.

Will the Exploration/Pathfinder variant of the 300 series get some additional aces up its sleeve, or was that it? And where are actually its ship components?

With the luckily rapidly developed hotfix for salvaging and the Aegis Day during IAE, 3 friends and me rented a Reclaimer to test out the hotfix.

I was super happy to notice that the main elevator works flawlessly now. You can reach any floor and don't get stuck on one. The salvaging fills up as it used to be, but sadly here as well CIG decided to throw away the Abrade for a Sure Grip Tractor Beam, which as we know is now illegal to use on a ship.... good job breaking it.

One last thing though that bothers me is that the headlights don't work.

In the end we salavged a Starlifter and got 50 scu worth of RMC. Was quite the pleasant experience.

So with a random happenstance, some guys and I met at Area 18 where we discovered some places to land on with no issues. This includes the ATC Tower of Riker Memorial Spaceport and the IO Tower.

We also discovered that you can fly over the Highway which only has a soft No-Fly Zone now (you can enjoy 17 seconds of Highway to the Danger zone, if you will).

I just received an email from Github that they are now ofically begin to require users who contribute code need to have 2FA enabled.

Why isn't password + email already sufficient? Why do I need to use a third FA to satisfy their requirements? Is it reasonable to feel stumped or angry about it?

Would like to hear your thoughts about this.

Every Ship and or Ground Vehicle has its quirks and flight/drive characteristics. What's your favorite and why?

Be it the fastest, the most maneuverable, the most responsive or just the most easy-going ship.

Oddly enough for me it's the MISC Freelancer, it may not be the fastest out of the bunch but the turnrates in atmosphere just feel really right.

Over the time new youtube videos crop up talking about reddit, twitch and twitter issues. And in those comment sections I always like to spread the word of alternatives (like the fediverse). But whenever I do, those comments get quietly removed even though they seem to be posted in the first place.

Whenever I try to add further details, for example name dropping lemmy/bin pixelfeed peertube and mastodon, to previously posted comments those error out and gets deleted entirely.

Anyone else made that observation?

Ever since 3.14, the great equalizer, all Laser Repeater and Laser Cannons (and also all other Weapons for that matter) have been baselined in damage, rate of fire and capacity usage except styling.

Which guns do you prefer for their aesthetics?

I love my purple/blue pew pews I get from the MaxOx NN and MaxOx NDB weapons, but those Quarreler Shots sound super beefy and satisfying as well.

Also I wonder when those weapons get their distinctiveness back e.g. HD Attritions yielding higher DPS the hotter they get.

Talking about the San'tok.yāi and the Hull C with its upcoming Cargo changes.

I always wanted to ride in a hamster cage and thanks to the Alien Week 2953 offering I now can do exactly that. But in style!

I totally love the Paintjobs for the Alien ships, and Harmony is just the best for the Aopoa Khartu'al!

The gimballed thrusters I loved from the Mirai Fury actually started with this ship and it makes so much fun steering in with it. from 0 to top speed in space in no time, and some very nice weapon hardpoints to boot with (2xs4!) and that transformation sequence. Just sheer awesome.

What do you like about the Aopoa Khartu'al?

Hallo Feddit, ich wollt gerade eine Kurzgeschichte in einer Community für Kurzgeschichten als self.post hochladen. Aber das funktioniert nicht, darauf hin hatte ich versucht ein kurzen Testbeitrag dort zu posten und das hat funktioniert.

Daher meine Frage, gibt es eine Maximal Länge von Beiträgen? (Beitrag wäre ~14 tausend Zeichen lang)
