Re: Gauging Interest and signing Up: Halfway Halfassed Tour

The CNE is the crab nebula expedition that is being organized via the Frontier forums via this thread . Start is on June 11th, arrival at the crab pulsar is planned for July 9th. DWE on a smaller scale, with "only" 10 kLY travel distance and "only" 200+ participants. But while I ...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

Honestly though, the ship isn't that terrible to dock, once you get the hang of it. Except on high-gravity worlds. F high-gravity worlds in the Cutter, man. Fully agree for the pads that are in the middle and at the end of a station, but the pads right at the slot are problematic, as I still have n...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

On the smaller ships, I have been using the DC as a loo break provider. Request docking permission, hit X, and when you return, the ship is on the pad. The only issues were during CGs, when you were "waiting in queue" for minutes, until you flew through the slot manually and then handed of...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

Quick emergency course in manually reverse parking the cutter. No idea what spooked the DC inside the bay, but it did not move, and the clock was ticking down. While I know about the emergency undock trick, I tried it the "real" way, and it worked. Loosing 11,3 million in rebuy and 8 milli...

Set throttle to zero, charge jump drive, boost when the "throttle up to engage" message appears. Jump countdown starts when the speed is about 2/3 maximum, and you arrive in the target system with throttle set to zero still.

Re: Engineers 2.1 Beta - findings so far

I found a video by someone (not me) where you can see pretty much what the NPC AI is like now. This is actually depressing, if they do not tone this down a lot, flying a freighter or an explorer will become suicide, and that in turn will drive the non-pew-pew folks first into low-waking to desktop,...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

FD has already confirmed that Jaques will NOT be taking passengers. However, there have been some rather worrying remarks about a "special surprise" for the Top 10 commanders. Since I entered the AA club with my first 704 tons and did not leave it until the end, I am somewhat ... worried t...
