Dowly's completely useless trivia #78592

It takes roughly 40 minutes to fly from Port Olisar to the closest point you can get to Crusader.

At Aurora LN's cruise speed, that's ~1270 kilometres (from Port Olisar).

As you start to get closer to this point, the Aurora begins to shake and lose parts before completely disintegrating.

Mileage may vary depending on the ship used.

:har::har::har::har:

So that's why I inexplicably blew apart heh.

Thanks for the info Dowly :salute:

Around the Verse 3.8 - Frankfurt:

Most of it is about the visual stabilization, but it's pretty cool behind the scenes stuff on how they did it.

Glad to see they are finally going to fix that. Hated lurching around like Frankenstein.

I must be crazy, I bought me a sabre, and now a freelancer DUR. I'm thinking about switching the DUR for a Merchantman though, and go merchantman, sabre, avenger. I do like the freelancer, its a pretty good ship, just a bit slow.

Yipes, that'd be a pretty penny invested :o Thought you were holding off on more investment until progress was more or less release ready mate.

Best regards.

Ya it is. After considering the situation carefully, I decided to just go for it. In part because I've decided i want to snag a merchantmen before the price goes up (right now they are 250$, but their size and other things have changed so the price is going to jump I expect), and a sabre, with the plan of spending no more than 450-500 USD period.

At the moment I think the game is very much on track, and if the game is going to last 10+ years it is a solid investment. Most of all the money will help me avoid a lot of in game work, so it should pay off. But it is a risk too.

I just wish CIG didn't use some of the manipulative tactics it uses, like limited ship sales, concept ships going for less, then upping the price later. All of these push people to buy now while you can.

Time for some pics of my ships. :D

My pride and joy my modified Sabre with quad tarantulas and missiles that don't just hit me.

My Freelancer DUR, its only hangar ready and due to be redone in the style of the Freelancer below internally and externally, like getting rid of the landing gear stairs that are really awkward and don't have an airlock.

Next is my Freelancer loaner ship, which is flight ready, and been redesigned as you can see. I really like the side door which has an airlock and stairs. It's a nice easy way of getting into the cockpit.

My two original ships my blue Winnebago (Mustang Beta), and my really nice Avenger Titan.

Last for some reason there is an F7C in my hangar that I think also came as a loaner for my freelancer DUR. It is pretty meh due to poor starting armament, but it can be modified to almost be as good as a super sabre.
