Space flight controls are more fluid, and you can walk around your ship, get out and board other ships/walk around planets. Just generally more immersive than ED.

Also, you can buy almost every ship in game. CIG sells ships instead of DLC, and they persist between wipes. You can just buy a starter ship for $35 and upgrade with in game money after you make some cash. There are a few ships that are unavailable to buy in game, CIG usually holds ships back for a while after they release them to buy with real money.

I am, 60+hrs in and I’m thoroughly enjoying it

Star Citizen, even with all its flaws, is a better space sim than Elite

Thanks!

Thanks! Are there different habs available at different facilities? I’ve just started scratching the surface of this game

I think a lot of people that are extremely critical of it weren’t going to buy it anyway and just want to enjoy banding together to shit on it in camaraderie because it’s popular to hate it.

How do you add crafting stations to your ships?

I just started playing with the ship builder last night, super cool. This game is definitely living up to my expectations so far

Thanks! I managed to board a few last night

Any chance it’s allergy related? I get hit pretty hard in the spring and early fall with allergies, and it has always felt remarkably similar to the early signs of when I had COVID.

Exactly. I’m not going to pay a fuckload of money for multiple streaming services only to still not see my fucking team every week.

In the US, the Coast Guard puts out Local Notice to Mariners once a week, and will push one out if there is a new hazard to navigation reported.

If you’re in anything larger than a small fishing boat, update your charts. Shit changes quick on the sea.

The sunny days in summer in Alaska (all 3-6 weeks of them) are beautiful. The winter is really depressing though, but at least you have mountains and some really cool wildlife (up until you have a bear come back for your trash repeatedly, through more and more elaborate containment contraptions. Fucking trash pandas)

Fuuuuck the NE. Went to college there, and it ruined snow for me. Even Alaska was cheerier in winter than new england

Your instance name disturbs me

Now THIS is more my style of cable management

Makes perfect sense. We were fortunate enough to be able to live well below our means at my last duty station and save a lot of money. Glad you’re doing well!

Mainly put some down to lower the monthly payment/total amount of interest on the loan
