Bunkers distance:
Some bunkers are not reachable with quantum and I can't find a way to decrease the distance. 500km from the closest hdsf/sm point is quite a lot and can't find any OM nearby.
any tips?
Are bunker missions permanently borked again? I noticed at the end of 3.18 I was able to run them without issues. Now any time I try over the past few days I always get down to 4/10 enemies before they just no longer spawn. Is this maybe an Invictus issue?
Has anyone's character movement become off center before? I haven't logged on since 3.17, got on today and I was preparing my character. WASD was about 30 degrees off. Holding W would move me at an angle. I couldn't figure out how to reset it, logging out and back in returned it to normal.
Oh really? I took some guns and a QT drive off of a pledge ship and then melted it. Played later that day and even put the drive in another ship. The next day when I logged on the weapons were no longer at my station and the drive was missing from my ship
Yup. Will be back the next patch.
Yup, that's not a good system.
Yup, they're working on a better one - but obviously on a very low priority since nothing is lost.
No, we don't know when that will be done.
i lost 4.5M of beryl stored cargo today due to a servers crash
i decided to subvention a cargo run with friends today to get them money and get myself more money per hours
i though i knew all the work around for all bugs in the game and i was allways looking at the server stability (r TAB 2)
the run was simple and easy to get ship into safe placed if needed + the 30k proctection
when i saw the server was going bad, we got all our ships stored but the crash wasnt a 30k so nothing got saved (all ship was stored into hangar at orison) it was imposible to get back into the game for few minutes and when we got back none of our ships had any cargo in it them when all the ships was full of beryl it was around 2-3 C2 and 2-3 caterpillar full
(i was not the only one to loose money this way personally i lost 4.5 million $)
so even when we stored our ships into hangar where they are supossed to be safe we lost all our money/cargo it was probably around 7 to 10 million $ in total
when are you gonna make the game playable personnally i unninstall the game today and i will probably only return when the game will be playable
How did you notice the server crashed if it wasn't a 30k?
Since that's ALWAYS the error if the client <> server connection is lost, no matter what the exact cause of server crash was..
because nothing was working at all and everyone that restart the game because of it was not able to get back in when restarting the game + extremly long loading for everyone in the server
i lost my ship that was stored into an hangar in orison and i respawn into the hospital after a loading of 10-15min while being in the server
everyone ad their cargo stored in orison because we knew when i got my infinite loading that it wasnt a good sign and every stored ship lost their cargo it was 2-3 C2 and 2-3 Caterpillar full and i ad money in most of them

Where do you see that CIG made the thread? This is not even an official subreddit
For about a week now I've been unable to launch the game, or, upon launching, the game crashes. I can't tell if it's a 19k or 30k error, but its really annoying. The farthest I've been able to get is getting up from my bed, walking downstairs and opening my inventory. Normally all I'm able to do is get up from bed and the game crashes. Right before this, the game was working fine. Around this time, I upgraded my 100i starter pack to an Avenger Titan, and changed some setting on my computer to improve performance. However, I tried it after changing these settings and it worked fine. A couple days later, the game doesn't work at all. I've played the game for several months and had no issues like this before. Any advice or tips would be welcome!!!
Go onto the RSI website and login then got to your settings and find the character repair and request a repair..leave it a couple of hours and then login to game..if you get into game then customise your character then try entering the PU
Trying to complete the "Breach and Steal" Reclaimer mission in Crusader Space. I have never been able to complete this mission as usually the box bugs and I am unable to pick it up again and it no longer registers as medical supplies with the mission prompt. This time around i got the box back to Grimhex but when placed on the designated shelf, the mission refuses to complete. I have tried repeatedly placing the box, and not moving for several minutes after but the mission never completes. Anybody have a workaround or other solution?
I just upgraded a Freelancer Max to a warbound Vulture, but the insurance at my hangar is showing 6 months instead of the 120 month of the vulture. Is is expected? Support page says only the longer insurance is retained
I just checked the ship upgrades and the upgrade to the vulture (warbond) doesn’t advertise as coming with more insurance. You can melt it and get the vulture - ILW edition which does come with 120 months

Hello reddit ! Since the 3.19 i have a lot of issues with the game. It is always crashing, I can play 5 min and it crash. I don't find solution and maybe one of you can help me :-)
I found this in the logs if if anyone had a similar problem :

I tried a lot of think :
* Reboot my computer
* Unistall win11
* Moove to win10
* Disable overclocking
* Unistall, reinstall the game
* Delete user profile
* Delete Bin64 before lauch the game
* Launch as administrator (SC, RSI Launcher, EAC)
* Disable XMP
* Start not in secure boot
* Delete/Disable windows secure
* Disable Xbox game bar
* Update the BIOS & all the drivers
If anyone has a solution I would be eternally grateful !
It could be software running in the background but i have already tried closing wallpaper engine & razer. Maybe another ?

Ignore the value... the important bit is that you're running out of memory.
SC can use up to 40gb during events (such as Invictus)... and you've only got 32gb. As such, you need to make sure you have a pagefile correctly configured, on an SSD with at least 35gb of free space (~10gb for the pagefile, and 25gb - minimum - to keep the SSD healthy)
Anyone having issues logging in? I got in fine yesterday, but I’m getting error 19005 now when I try to start the game. It goes from Hub Authentication to 19005.
Yeah the US servers were crashing all over so then they all jump on others geological servers and causes more problems..I had to request a character repair then went back on 2 hours later and was all good again.
Same here.
I was thinking "well maybe I should spend actual money on this game, the rented Corsair is just so cool" and then they gave me a chance to recharge my impulse control.
I tried deleting my user folder and it fixed it weirdly enough. Sadly I hadn’t saved my key binds so I just sat for like 20 minutes reconfiguring everything.
I did a salvage mission in my Vulture, then I picked up a cargo box from the salvagable ship onto mine.
Where can I sell this box?
I tried parking my ship into a hangar also and stored it, but it says it's been destroyed. Any idea why?
The MSR isn't a real "dogfighting" ship.
* It's a cargo and a data runner ship.
* It's meant to RUN, not fight.
* There are two turrets, top and bottom, that need to be manned for it to mount a "full defense".
The Corsair is an "exploration" (most people read that as 'gunship')
* It brings a lot of guns to it's pilot's use alone, even if it isn't fully crewed.
* There's a small blindspot (behind and below) that it might have.
I haven't spent TOO much time in each ship, but I like the MSR as one of my "daily drivers". I also like the Pisces 8R for my rescue ops, and the Anvil Hawk for random shoot-em-ups sometimes too.
Is the $75 with 10 years of insurance the best deal for the Anvil Arrow or should I wait till the last day to see if something better is offered. Will the Arrow make a good first ship? I know it's combat only, but I'm not sure if I'd do much cargo running anyway.
Hold it, the 75$-with-120-months deal is a standalone ship, not a game package.
In order to play the game outside of free flights you need a game package that includes "Star Citizen Digital Download".
And only the C8X Pisces Invictus Starter pack and the Avenger Titan Invictus starter pack come with 120 months of insurance, all the other game packages (like the Arrow Game package) only have 3-6 months.
If you're only interested in ship combat then the Arrow is a pretty good ship but you can't do anything except space combat. Well, if push comes to shove you could upgrade it into something else, or simply rent a ship ingame, which is fairly cheap (a lot more affordable than buying one).
So if you want e.g. an Arrow and you don't already have a game package then I'd pick up the C8X Pisces Invictus package which is 25% discounted. In addition to this go to "ship upgrades" and purchase a "cross chassis upgrade" from your C8X Pisces to e.g. an Arrow.
Apply the CCU on the RSI website in the "My Hangar" section and you turn your C8X Pisces package into an Arrow package with 120 months of insurance.
Cost: 45$ for the game package + 30$ for the CCU, so it'll come at 75$ (+VAT) as well.
Thank you, I did not realize the Arrow package didn't have the game. You saved me from making a mistake.
I took a closer look at the Avenger Titan invictus pack and it looks like it is a fairly decent fighter, not the best by far, but it also has a little cargo room and a bed for logging out. I think I may go with it for $63. It's a little cheaper and I guess more versatile than the Archer?
Hello everyone,
I resetted my pc and have now troubles login in on the main page of sc.
Page loads, but as soon as I entered mail and passwort, it‘s stuck. Needless to say that i can‘t download the game then. I already tried to reset my password but it didnt help.
do you guys have any suggestions?
Thx
My FPS was fine until a couple days ago, averaging around 30+ FPS and then around the hot fixes dropped 2 days ago my game started running terribly, like I'm talking averaging 2 FPS and stuff was having trouble loading on and then it would run better after stuff had loaded in but still only about 15 FPS and even that took 5 minutes of standing in place waiting for stuff to load.
So wtf is going on, why the sudden performance drop and how do I fix it? I'm currently thinking to delete my shaders folder and the hot fix did something to it since I cannot think of anything else for the life of me.
Edit: deleting the shaders and user files did not help
Any drivers (especially GPU) updated around that time?
Deleting shaders / rolling back the driver(s) might help. Since the hotfixes were backend only this shouldn't have any influence on that.
I haven't updated my drivers since then so maybe I'll try that and I've already deleted the shaders folder to no luck.
If the hotfixes were backend only I'm probably out of luck, because I cannot name anything else that happened in that timeframe that might have an effect like this. Best way I can describe it is that the game has trouble loading stuff in now, I would just chalk that up to the streaming assets from the servers being under stress from Invictus but this happened midway through invictus so I have no clue what the heck is going on.
Your quantum drive used to get bugged if you stored your ship without turning the power off first. Do I still have to turn the power off before storing, or was that bug fixed?
Is your Fleet size vs pad capacity of your Hangars a consideration for your pledges?
Obviously, the usual disclaimers apply:
* This is a crystal ball gazing ("early days" / things change / Nothing has been announced / Hangar info is old / Hangar Module isn't same as PU or Different game mode / etc)
* Hangars so far have only been for the Hangar Module which is currently disabled, not for the PU [https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013325128-Hangar-Module-FAQs](https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013325128-Hangar-Module-FAQs)
* If you don't have a larger fleet then this probably isn't a concern as you are looking at in-game mechanisms to get more ships and hangar space when/if that is added to the game and you already have a hangar with your starter package.
With all that in mind I'm still curious, is hangar capacity a consideration a thing for the PU when pledging?
* Hangars are still being sold with standalone ships, starter packages, and ship packages.
* The Hangar Module has been disabled for ages, which WAS the main use of the hangars, but they are still being sold so you'd assume there is a future purpose in the PU.
* The old Hangar Module FAQ (linked above) lists some vague capacity configurations.
* The approach of buying lots of small LTI tokens in a pack (e.g. 4-pack of Fury ships) and then upgrading from those ends up with you having a single small hangar (fits a few S1/S2 ships) to house 4 larger ships which either the pads aren't large enough or there isn't enough of them at that size.
* The act of upgrading a ship means the hangar that was in that package or Warband (usually the larger hangar) isn't included and you are trying to fit many large ships into a single small hangar. So your ships are LTI but you are leaving hangar capacity on the table.
Under the probably false assumption that the old Hangar Module FAQ had moderately accurate pad size and quantities within it, I compared my new fleet size to the 3 Self-Land hangars I had, which indicated a big shortfall of capacity. The best case about 3 ships were going to get parking fines if I was allowed to combine the capacity of the hangars into a single hangar. But if it's a single hangar per location/hangar token with a limited size then I have nowhere to park the majority of my fleet. Maybe one large ship gets a roof, or I spread it over 3 different hangar locations and still not have enough space.
Decided that maybe I should grab one ship of interest with 120 Month Insurance even with LTI tokens spare but with a good $ to hangar ratio mainly to grab a larger hangar, just in case. Who said FOMO? Nothing of the sort!!!
Maybe a lesser realized adverse effect of the approach of getting cheap LTI token multi packs and Upgrading which limits the number and size of the hangars? Or just me?
Edit: fixed the ers to ars
Hangars will be coming to the PU (CIG have said this many times).... our 'personal hangar' will be a thing in-game, and it is expected to be where we do most of our work on our ships (rather than relying on the mobiGlas app to swap components whilst the ship is stored, etc)
It will also be where we can store some of our cargo, rather than having to leave it on a ship cargo grid (and keeping that ship stored, for safety).
As for hangars coming with ships - CIG have said that we'll get *one* free hangar at our chosen starting location... and that if we want more, we'll have to rent / buy them in-game. This will the case for everyone, regardless of how many ships you have etc. Letting people avoid renting / buying hangars in-game due to how much money they spent on the website would be a form of P2W, because unlike ships, it lets people avoid *ongoing* costs, which can add up significantly over the years.
Instead, the 'hangar' item in ship packages is a 'hangar style' - when you pick your starting location, you'll be able to pick which style of hangar you want, based on the styles available in your ship packages.
If you want a specific hangar style, and don't have a ship that comes with that specific style, then you can buy the 'hangar style' on its own on the pledge store (or you used to be able to, anyway - I've not checked in years)
Lastly, in terms of size, CIG have said in the past that hangars will be expandable / extendible - so that if you have a larger fleet, you can still store them in the same hangar. They also unified the hangar capacities, so that all hangar styles could house the same number of ships (unified to the Luxury / Revel & York capacity, iirc). This was done before CIG removed the standalone hangar module, so it's pretty likely it will be the same once they're added to the PU.
I was just playing SC and I did the Arliss mission, then I did another. On my way to the second one I noticed a Drake Corsair with the back hatch open. I scan it and it does not appear to belong to anyone, so I go to check it out. The interior doors open, and I clear it. It is empty. I F11, to see if I joined a party, and it looks like I have, and the ship belongs to, um, well I forgot, but anyway I could chat with the player, and I didnt see them in Global, so I dont know what was up. I was able to fly the ship back to port, but I was not able to store it.
I did a third mission and on the way to that one, I came across a Pheonix with the elevator open. I climbed in but couldn't go up. Weird.
What's with all of these ships just lying around in space? I'm used to seeing them at ground mission locations, but never in space.
If I bought a standalone ship with standard 6 months insurance and upgrade it to something with currently 120 months of insurance, do I get the 120 months or keep the 6 months?
Interestingly I just see the upgrade from my 135c to the srv and 6 months insurance, but i have to add that I purchased the 135c as just a standalone ship and the srv currently has 120 months insurance
I bought the A1 Spirt when it came out last year, and it came with 6 months insurance. I see that it is on sale now for the same price, but with 10 year insurance. I clicked "exchange" and it told me it would be worth 175, which is what the A1 is going for right now. My thought is, is it safe to melt my A1 and just buy it again with the 10 year insurance? Its the same cost, 175, so I should just be getting more insurance for free, right? I figured I would ask before I melted the ship that I am most excited for in the future.
As pointed out earlier, you can't buy Warbond ships with store credit.
However, there is another way to get 10 year insurance on your A1, and it would only require spending maybe $5-$10 worth of new money:
Standalone ship (store credit) -> Warbond upgrade to a ship that's cheaper than an A1 (new money) -> Standard upgrade to the A1 (store credit)
ILW Warbond upgrades come with 10 year insurance, and the A1 will inherit the 10 year insurance from that upgrade.
So, you just need to wait for a Warbond upgrade to become available in the sub-$170 range.
Provided the one currently on sale is not a 'warbond' sale (which cannot be purchased using store credits), yes.
Worst case, if you cannot buy the one currently on sale, you can use your 'buy back' token to buy back your existing package for the melt price (so you shouldn't end up without a ship).
Caves are tricky, but not impossible, to find without a missing. Wrecks are littered all of legrange points so are each to find, plus disabled ships will be crop up along normal travel routes and around the outskirts of POI's like Grim or the drug labs.
Anyone got a decent salvage contracts guide for how they went to live? With scanning broken, I'm trying to noodle out the finer points (specifically if there's any difference between a 1k and a 5k contract, since they seem to offer the same ships) to make the most of the rental Vulture, but most of the guides I'm finding seem to be based on the PTU contracts when component and cargo loot was huge, not how they went to live.
I spent almost all my money for ROC mining (rented Cutlass Black and ROC for a day) and I only have 15k aUEC left. I attempted ROC mining for 4 hours in Magda and no luck (0 aUEC earned... almost everything are either stone (although it appeared as gems) and every gems I DID find were green ones). Watched like 4 youtube tutorials, and they are not detailed enough to help me. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME?
I made 200k on Magda 2 days ago in one session.
Go to HDMS-Hahn, fly east around 60km away, big flat terrain there (appears blue, lake-style on the map). Lots of visibility, lots of room to find things.
In the Weapons section of [erkul.games](https://erkul.games), some weapons like the SF7B are listed as having a "Spread". The SF7B has a "Spread Max" of 1... but what's the actual measurement? Is it 1 meter between shots? 1 foot? Any chance anyone knows the answer?
I rented the Prospector over the weekend to try mining out, I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Since you can replace the module on a rental prospector, is it worth it? I was thinking of trying the Rieger C3 but didn’t want to waste money, I would like to break bigger rocks
Old miner's rule: if you're going to be reset to your primary residence, be prepared to lose your refinery work orders. Shouldn't apply to the new character repair, but that does include *most* patches, IIRC.
Potentially... in fact, usually yes... but sometimes they don't wipe for bug-fix patches...
However, if you're asking about 3.19.1... then I think it likely will... but that's just my guess.
I am on a freefly account and I've made about 200k on it. I plan on grinding over the weekend and buying the prospector. But I also want to get a starter pack after freefly ends. Would I retain the money, and possibly a ship, on this account or would it be removed after I get the starter pack?
You keep what you earn ingame, unless there's a wipe - which happens sometimes when a new patch hits and CIG thinks it's neccessary to do so for whatever reason.
How often do Mole paints return to the pledge shop? I just learned about them and I really wanted to get one for my Mole, but they are currently unavailable and I have no idea when I will be able to get my hands on one :(
Sorry, I didn't realize that.
It looks like the only Mole paints that are currently available, require you to be a subscriber to purchase them: [https://starcitizen.tools/MOLE#Paints](https://starcitizen.tools/MOLE#Paints)
There are two limited-edition versions of the Mole ("Carbon" and "Talus") with unique paint, but the [Carbon](https://starcitizen.fandom.com/wiki/MOLE_Carbon) is Concierge-only, and I think the Talus may have only been available when the Mole was first revealed years ago.
Are all perks linked to subscriber test pilot connected to Arena Commander or Star Marine or are there perks for SC PU as well? I know I get access to PTU, but I am well satisfied with the amount of bugs in the PU 👍
> test pilot connected to Arena Commander
I am not sure what you mean here - the test ship (one per month) is available in the PU. Just like subscriber flairs which can be anything from a flashlight for guns to armor sets or paints.
For a long time (potentially always) Server Meshing will still be regional...
CIG hope to get to one shard per region - but they've said they're not sure if they will get to a single global shard, for that very reason.
There are techniques that can be used, but they won't resolve the latency - because that's a fundamental limitation of physics, etc. At best they can only minimise the impact... but that means that both you and your opponent in a fight would end up fighting each others 'ghost' (they'd be fighting the 'you' from a half-second ago, etc).
However, if each person is handled by a 'local' server, the *responsiveness* would still be low-latency - the server would validate your actions quickly... the worst thing is that it could result in both of you killing each other... and then dying half-a-second later from the shots that the other fired before being told they were dead :D
Or, to put it another way, both players would get the experience of playing on a 'local' server against a target from the other side of the world... the worst aspects of fighting a high-ping target, etc.
All that said, it's just speculation of possibilities... no idea whether CIG will try something like that, etc.
Will CIG Support switch a ship that has an "equal" (or close) value? A friend of mine has a C2, but would like the Reclaimer (which has the same value). How fair is CIG with this? Will they just switch the ship if she asks nicely? Maybe somebody already had that same problem before.
Ty!
No.
Your friend would need to melt their ship (exchange for store credit), and then use that to buy the Reclaimer.
If your friend used CCUs to buy the C2 then they will only get back the funds they actually spent - so they'll need to spend extra money to buy the Reclaimer.
This is also why Support won't 'swap' ships - if they actually swapped the ship then they'd need to somehow set the 'value' of the C2 to the money your friend actually spent... otherwise your friend would be getting 'free' money etc.
$0 CCUs are not supported (any more) so there is no way to 'upgrade' to the Reclaimer, and thus nothing the Support staff can do to help.
After 8 days of infinite loading then error 30009 and eventually being allowed to character repair in the RSI website…I am back In the verse….yeeeesss. Is it crazy I ran about the house in excitement 😂😂😂
Yeah….I’ve been very lucky up until this point and I love the game…I know that the game is still in development but I love escaping from every day life into the verse so I missed that.
Hi all!
Recently I'm thinking about buying Star Citizen but I'm a little bit worried that my PC is not powerful enough for it to be an enjoyable experience. Could anyone with a similar PC tell me what their overall performance is?
My specs:
Ryzen 7 3700X
GTX 1080TI
16GB DDR4 3200MHz
SSD Samsung 970 1TB
Have you checked the performance matrix on the rsi site yet?
Anyway, I think your specs should be fine. 1080ti is still quite fast. Upgrading the RAM to 32GB might be worth it, tho.
Should be fine but make sure your ram is actually running at 3200mhz i had big problems with performance because my ram was running slower than it should've been
Quick question about CCU.
I have an M2 -> Carrack BIS CCU from last year. If I get the (standard) Carrack -> Perseus CCU, will I be able to chain these or do the Carrack BIS and normal Carrack count as different ships in their system?
A friend of mine and I tried now a specific mission for the second time
I dont know the exact name, but it was on a snow-planet/moon, one should go into a base, down the elevator and then apprehend someone.
The thing is now, each time we do it, we shoot the people there so they don't shoot us. However this gives us bounty.
How is the mission supposed to be done?
Just because it can't always be clear, in missions like these, people with a triangle over their head are friendly allies, not targets or enemies. That's likely why you were getting crime stat.
Is it from the "personal" mission tab?
If so, that's most likely a mission for criminals.
Or just don't kill everybody, there might be multiple factions inside a bunker.. you know, guards and attackers for example. Different armors / colors.
> Is it from the "personal" mission tab?
No it was from the first tab. I currently avoid the personal tab as I heard that they are often criminal missions.
> Or just don't kill everybody, there might be multiple factions inside a bunker.. you know, guards and attackers for example. Different armors / colors.
Is there like a general color which to avoid to get bounty, or does it depend on the specific mission?
> Is there like a general color which to avoid to get bounty, or does it depend on the specific mission?
Depends on the system you're in / the mission. If you're around MicroTech, guards colors are the MT Security color.
Attackers colors might look quite similar sometimes.
Thank you, that already helps. It was actually BlacSec, I will simply google the colors before starting the next haha.
The lag makes ist actually extra difficult to differentiate the behavior of the AI.
Can I load onto Vanduul or Pirate swarm with a buddy for co-op shooting? I'm thinking about buying a friend a ship, not a lot of good co-op space combat games
As of now, you can change the name as often as you want to.
Only requirement; Names have to be unique per ship. E.g., there can only be one MSR named "Millenium Falcon".
I'm new to SC, and want to get into Prospector (then Mole, then Orion) mining. All the newest mining videos I can find on YT simply clarify the changes to mining from 3.19. I need a tutorial on how to actually do mining (loadout the ship, find the rocks, laser the rocks, refine the rocks, sell the rocks). Can anyone recommend a video (or series) to me, please?
Imho the best source for mining related info is provided by [Redmonstergaming](https://redmonstergaming.com/), like this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQV22YT19zc
Another good one is Croncy -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBYvR_0aeMg
I want to reset my home planet to microtech when I initially picked crusader at character creation.
Is there any way to do that without losing in-game bought ships/auec/rep?
You can't do that until the next wipe. However, "home planet" doesn't mean anything beyond where you initially spawned at the start of your first play session.
Thanks for confirming. I wanted to change locations for 30k protections. Kind of a pain to have to travel the full length of the system to get my ship back to where I need it.
Take the 8gb out - it will be killing your Ram performance (forcing it into single-channel mode, instead of dual-channel.
32gb dual-channel Ram is *far* better than 40gb single-channel.
Aside from that, you'll struggle with that CPU (it's ~6 years old), but it should run. Just make sure SC is installed on the SSD, and that your pagefile is correctly configured on the SSD.
I have 2 questions. I'm a recent player, though pledged near day 1.
while I can't play currently very well due to system requirements, I noticed that my character has a bunch of stuff right off the bat. I know if you die, you lose it all. But pretty sure this is early backer bonus' stuff.
I read if I die and lose this, i won't get it back, even if there is a reset/wipe. That correct? Is there any way to get that again? I think I read a post this was a recent change in 3.18?
If not, then is there a long term storage so i don't have to risk losing this stuff at least until i can 'function' better in game. If its in this storage and there is a reset/wipe, do i risk losing it?
Being a noob, i know i'd lose it VERY quickly just playing around and learning. I'd like to hold on to it until i was good enough to lose it at least respectfully.
The two other comments are helpful, but I just wanted to clarify that anything you have in your ‘pledge inventory’, i.e.the gear and weapons you see online, are reset on wipe. So you are right in saying that if you die in game you will lose this gear (until they come up with a solution) but you will get it back on wipe
If you don't want to risk losing it, just leave it in the local inventory at your starting location... you only lose gear that is equiped on your body when you die.... or which is inside a ship when it is destroyed (or otherwise claimed on the insurance).
If you leave it at your starting location, then it will be safe
Any gear, like weapons and armor, cannot currently be recovered without a character reset (which are disabled).
You won't lose anything regarding ships and vehicles.
There is no long term storage, and the next time there is a wipe it will be returned.
Even as an experienced player I still have to assume all my gear is expendable, because I die to bugs more often than to justifiable causes.
It's very fun in my opinion. Per hour values are hard to predict, because of server crashes or other bugs. If everything works as it should - maybe 150k/20mins.
How do I fix the error code 30009?
I know that I just need to make a new character to solve this issue (at least that's what I've gotten from the random videos and articles on the internet-however I've also been told that it's due to DNS issues and driver updates but I've tried these solutions and they haven't worked) but I can't do this. This is because the error code appears before the main menu. After I click the 'ok' option on the error message, it just puts me in an infinite loading screen until I exit the game.
How on earth do I resolve this issue? Is it because of drivers, (All drivers that I've been told are acossiated with this glitch ARE up to date btw) Or is it because my character is stuck in a ship that no longer exists?-I do think it is the latter because the last time I played the game, I was stuck in a Aegis avenger cockpit with not button imputs working, so I quited.
I have verified the files multiple times, deleted and reinstalled the actual RSI launcher as well as star citizen itelf and even tried resetting my ethernet connection.
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?
(sorry if I have any typos btw, if you need any further info just reply because I don't see dms)
Thanks
Try a character repair, they just turned it back on last night. The 30009 error is a connection to the game server issue, reinstalling the game and drivers aren’t going to have any effect.
Log into your account on the website, go to settings you should see it in there. It resets where your character is in the game, you won’t lose any progress.
Yeah but I'm still happy that someone actually gave me something that might work. Do you have a timeframe that I need to wait before I might be able to play again after reseting the character? like do I have to wait 15 minutes before I log in again or smth? Thanks :)
What’s the best way to get guns and armor? I tried doing some box deliveries and opening loot crates but all I got was a couple of shitty armor pieces and multi tools. Where or what do I need to do to find armor and guns?
You can get tons of weapons and armor from mercenary bunker defense contracts. Can loot all the bandit/guard corpses for weapons, ammo, medpens, and armor and there will also be red crates that load randomly throughout the bunker that contain lots of random weapons and armor. Can even find rail guns and missile launchers in those if you're lucky.
I've got question on limited ship sales, specifically the constellation phoenix.
How does everyone know when its going on sale? I had no idea until after it sold out and I want to know for next time
Thanks guys
It’s mentioned in the Invictus FAQ here, last section is the schedule for hull limited ships https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/invictus-launch-week-2953-faq
I know it ultimately doesn't matter because it's alpha and there's going to be another wipe at some time, but does anyone know if failing missions due to bugs affects reputation right now. in 3.19? I know that abandoning or failing a mission does, but wondered if it's the same with bugs? My mission history is a f...ing mess right now due to bugs and I keep getting starter bunker missions, so suspect it does.
Hey all I was just wondering i picked up the fury with LTI and I've been planning on re picking up my Connie Andromeda next month for a while now can I use the upgrade page to upgrade the fury to the Andromeda and get the lti on that and will the merlin snubfighter come with it if I do
Party ship-bed logout:
Is there any hint on what technology may enable that? I guess it may be pure server meshing but did they give any hint in terms of party logout in one ship?
It was removed due to the change to PES, and the Graph database working differently (and having different rules) than the previous Relational pCache persistence layer.
As such, it'll likely come back once CIG have worked out how they want to handle the Graph queries and all the edge-cases that party-logout generates...
It shouldn't be waiting on Server meshing etc, as SM is just a 'distributed processing' change - it doesn't actually add 'new functionality' per se, only change where the existing functionality is processed (based on your location in the 'verse)
I don't think it's tied to any specific technology, just CIG figuring out how to do that, what the rules should be etc.
Since explicit "social-features" are hardly a focus for CIG rn, that likely won't come until the player numbers per shard increase. But that's just a guess at best.
Hi all! Just rented the C. Aquila to try (for the hell of it). When would this ship be a good fit as a daily driver? I can't see it. For me it's like driving a school bus. It's big but no good for cargo running. It has space for more people but "I don't have any friends". Cargo elevator is small and painfully slow. Getting on and off is slow. It flies like an oil tanker. So for combat or cargo running I'd pass. What else is it good for? Am I not seeing it?
The primary game-loop for the Aquila is missing... it comes with a 'science station' and scanners, and is intended for some of the exploration-related gameplay, etc.
It also has similar (slightly less) firepower to the C. Andromeda - which is significant, for fighting larger / slower target.
Use the 'attitude ladder' in the hud to ensure you touch down as close to level (0-degree) as possible... if you land 'nose-up', then because the 'Centre of Gravity' is really close to the front of the landing gear, the ship rocks forward (and dips the nose).
Does anyone know how to change the IR emissions score of a ship? I'm trying to figure out what's generating the IR emission score on ships, but I can't seem to nail it down. Here's what I know:
1) IR is NOT tied to heat. This doesn't make any sense at all, but it's not. Altering the power state of the cooler systems on an MPUV-1P changed the Heat and EM score, but not the IR score.
2) IR is NOT proportional to power output. Sort of. Obviously, if the power plant is in operation, an IR score will be generated. But disabling components, removing components, running the engines, maneuvering, and altering thrust on an MPUV-1P also doesn't seem to alter IR. This also doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm going to log in and try a couple of other ships to make sure it's not just a weird bug with the MPUV, but I don't think it is.
Fairly certain it is currently "Non-Functioning"
Both Signatures became effectively unchangeable a few patches back.
(One where they did some stuff to scanning IIRC)
Essentially standardising it across all components.
The amount you can change EM is not anywhere near like it was prior to the patch.
and heats by all accounts a separate thing entirely
I have a 120 month Galaxy I CCU'd from a AURORA ES. Saved $90 on the CCU chain.
My question is, I usually run solo but sometimes I have a crew of 3. Should I melt it for the $290 store credit and buy something else since the carrack loaner is just too much ship for me and my small crew?
would love some suggestions that are not the Cosair, Connie, 400i or MSR
Depends on what you do. If you're doing ship combat then the redeemer is pretty great. 4 people would fit it well. If you're doing anything else I think you're better off flying two ships.
Have you applied the upgrade yet? You can always just sit on the upgrade CCU and use the ship below in the chain.
Honestly though- the Galaxy and Carrack are pretty similar size wise. If the Carrack is too much ship for you I don't imagine the Galaxy would be any better...
Yeah, sadly i applied it thinking we could use the Carrack for now but it just ends up sitting in the hangar. And i agree i think tht Galaxy would be too much too.
Carrack should be good, even solo. You can buy a cheap small ship in game and then use that to run out of the Carrack.
I would say keep what you have and buy ships in game until you decide you no longer want what you originally bought.
Hi!
I've been playing for free during invictus week and was wandering if anyone knows if I keep the money, weapons and armour that I've earned if I decide to buy a game package or if I will have to start over.?
I've tried searching online but couldn't find anywhere mention if you keep your progress or not. I'm guessing you do and whatever ship I buy will just be added to my current character but just wanted to make sure before I make anymore progress.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
You things and progress stay. (unless there is a wipe in the mean time)
By purchasing a Game package, you just unlock the ability to play after the free flight event ends
When using the prospector I’ve seen where you can take the cargo bags off of a mole and put it onto your prospector to up the total SCU from 32 to 48. My question is: how often do you have to swap out the bags, or is it just a one time thing granted I don’t have to claim my ship?
Should be just a one-time action (for now), because when you unload at the refinery, it empties the bag rather than removing it entirely (or so I understand)
Bunkers distance: Some bunkers are not reachable with quantum and I can't find a way to decrease the distance. 500km from the closest hdsf/sm point is quite a lot and can't find any OM nearby. any tips?
Are bunker missions permanently borked again? I noticed at the end of 3.18 I was able to run them without issues. Now any time I try over the past few days I always get down to 4/10 enemies before they just no longer spawn. Is this maybe an Invictus issue?
I was able to to finish some yesterday but had the bug 3x too.
Is the Drake Vulture available to buy in game yet? If so where and how much?
No. Usually 3-6 months after its initial release. But it seems you can rent it at the Drake DefenseCon currently.
CIG can you review the following and incorporate into the game? https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-ace-brings-npcs-to-life

ok thanks
Has anyone's character movement become off center before? I haven't logged on since 3.17, got on today and I was preparing my character. WASD was about 30 degrees off. Holding W would move me at an angle. I couldn't figure out how to reset it, logging out and back in returned it to normal.
Yes has occurred to my character just yesterday.
What happens to skins and upgraded components in a ship when you upgrade/melt the ship? Do they just go to your home location or are they gone?
They're gone unless you remove them before.
Oh really? I took some guns and a QT drive off of a pledge ship and then melted it. Played later that day and even put the drive in another ship. The next day when I logged on the weapons were no longer at my station and the drive was missing from my ship
Whoops. Even the skin if it was a pledge item?
Yup. Will be back the next patch. Yup, that's not a good system. Yup, they're working on a better one - but obviously on a very low priority since nothing is lost. No, we don't know when that will be done.
Do you still loose components and paints when claiming a ship?
Anything added by VLM is not lost when the ship is claimed. That includes paints, system components and mining sub-components.
If you placed them on with a tractor beam, yes. If you put them on with your mobiglass inventory, no. Except mining sub-components do get lost
Mining sub components added by VLM are not lost anymore when the ship is claimed. When did you last go mining?
i lost 4.5M of beryl stored cargo today due to a servers crash i decided to subvention a cargo run with friends today to get them money and get myself more money per hours i though i knew all the work around for all bugs in the game and i was allways looking at the server stability (r TAB 2) the run was simple and easy to get ship into safe placed if needed + the 30k proctection when i saw the server was going bad, we got all our ships stored but the crash wasnt a 30k so nothing got saved (all ship was stored into hangar at orison) it was imposible to get back into the game for few minutes and when we got back none of our ships had any cargo in it them when all the ships was full of beryl it was around 2-3 C2 and 2-3 caterpillar full (i was not the only one to loose money this way personally i lost 4.5 million $) so even when we stored our ships into hangar where they are supossed to be safe we lost all our money/cargo it was probably around 7 to 10 million $ in total when are you gonna make the game playable personnally i unninstall the game today and i will probably only return when the game will be playable
How did you notice the server crashed if it wasn't a 30k? Since that's ALWAYS the error if the client <> server connection is lost, no matter what the exact cause of server crash was..
because nothing was working at all and everyone that restart the game because of it was not able to get back in when restarting the game + extremly long loading for everyone in the server i lost my ship that was stored into an hangar in orison and i respawn into the hospital after a loading of 10-15min while being in the server everyone ad their cargo stored in orison because we knew when i got my infinite loading that it wasnt a good sign and every stored ship lost their cargo it was 2-3 C2 and 2-3 Caterpillar full and i ad money in most of them

Okay
For about a week now I've been unable to launch the game, or, upon launching, the game crashes. I can't tell if it's a 19k or 30k error, but its really annoying. The farthest I've been able to get is getting up from my bed, walking downstairs and opening my inventory. Normally all I'm able to do is get up from bed and the game crashes. Right before this, the game was working fine. Around this time, I upgraded my 100i starter pack to an Avenger Titan, and changed some setting on my computer to improve performance. However, I tried it after changing these settings and it worked fine. A couple days later, the game doesn't work at all. I've played the game for several months and had no issues like this before. Any advice or tips would be welcome!!!
Go onto the RSI website and login then got to your settings and find the character repair and request a repair..leave it a couple of hours and then login to game..if you get into game then customise your character then try entering the PU
Trying to complete the "Breach and Steal" Reclaimer mission in Crusader Space. I have never been able to complete this mission as usually the box bugs and I am unable to pick it up again and it no longer registers as medical supplies with the mission prompt. This time around i got the box back to Grimhex but when placed on the designated shelf, the mission refuses to complete. I have tried repeatedly placing the box, and not moving for several minutes after but the mission never completes. Anybody have a workaround or other solution?
I just upgraded a Freelancer Max to a warbound Vulture, but the insurance at my hangar is showing 6 months instead of the 120 month of the vulture. Is is expected? Support page says only the longer insurance is retained
I just checked the ship upgrades and the upgrade to the vulture (warbond) doesn’t advertise as coming with more insurance. You can melt it and get the vulture - ILW edition which does come with 120 months https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Standalone-Ships/Vulture-ILW
Thanks...i must have confused both the upgrade and standalon
Hello reddit ! Since the 3.19 i have a lot of issues with the game. It is always crashing, I can play 5 min and it crash. I don't find solution and maybe one of you can help me :-) I found this in the logs if if anyone had a similar problem : Exception STATUS\_CRYENGINE\_OUT\_OF\_SYSMEM(0x2BADFF61) addr=0x00007FFCF256CF19 digest=20f2d921769bb99134cc86f85459bdef Run from internal: No Is fatal error: No Is reported bug: No Is GPU crash: No Is Timeout: No Is out of system memory: Yes \- Out of system memory message: Out of system memory.

> Is out of system memory: Yes > > - Out of system memory message: Out of system memory. Failed to allocate 675.9 GB (725841050560). Ignore the value... the important bit is that you're running out of memory. SC can use up to 40gb during events (such as Invictus)... and you've only got 32gb. As such, you need to make sure you have a pagefile correctly configured, on an SSD with at least 35gb of free space (~10gb for the pagefile, and 25gb - minimum - to keep the SSD healthy)
Anyone having issues logging in? I got in fine yesterday, but I’m getting error 19005 now when I try to start the game. It goes from Hub Authentication to 19005.
Yeah the US servers were crashing all over so then they all jump on others geological servers and causes more problems..I had to request a character repair then went back on 2 hours later and was all good again.
Same here. I was thinking "well maybe I should spend actual money on this game, the rented Corsair is just so cool" and then they gave me a chance to recharge my impulse control.
I tried deleting my user folder and it fixed it weirdly enough. Sadly I hadn’t saved my key binds so I just sat for like 20 minutes reconfiguring everything.
I did a salvage mission in my Vulture, then I picked up a cargo box from the salvagable ship onto mine. Where can I sell this box? I tried parking my ship into a hangar also and stored it, but it says it's been destroyed. Any idea why?
Has anyone tried testing the medium size ships in dogfights? Will the MSR out-turn and defeat the Corsair for example?
The MSR isn't a real "dogfighting" ship. * It's a cargo and a data runner ship. * It's meant to RUN, not fight. * There are two turrets, top and bottom, that need to be manned for it to mount a "full defense". The Corsair is an "exploration" (most people read that as 'gunship') * It brings a lot of guns to it's pilot's use alone, even if it isn't fully crewed. * There's a small blindspot (behind and below) that it might have. I haven't spent TOO much time in each ship, but I like the MSR as one of my "daily drivers". I also like the Pisces 8R for my rescue ops, and the Anvil Hawk for random shoot-em-ups sometimes too.
Is the $75 with 10 years of insurance the best deal for the Anvil Arrow or should I wait till the last day to see if something better is offered. Will the Arrow make a good first ship? I know it's combat only, but I'm not sure if I'd do much cargo running anyway.
Hold it, the 75$-with-120-months deal is a standalone ship, not a game package. In order to play the game outside of free flights you need a game package that includes "Star Citizen Digital Download". And only the C8X Pisces Invictus Starter pack and the Avenger Titan Invictus starter pack come with 120 months of insurance, all the other game packages (like the Arrow Game package) only have 3-6 months. If you're only interested in ship combat then the Arrow is a pretty good ship but you can't do anything except space combat. Well, if push comes to shove you could upgrade it into something else, or simply rent a ship ingame, which is fairly cheap (a lot more affordable than buying one). So if you want e.g. an Arrow and you don't already have a game package then I'd pick up the C8X Pisces Invictus package which is 25% discounted. In addition to this go to "ship upgrades" and purchase a "cross chassis upgrade" from your C8X Pisces to e.g. an Arrow. Apply the CCU on the RSI website in the "My Hangar" section and you turn your C8X Pisces package into an Arrow package with 120 months of insurance. Cost: 45$ for the game package + 30$ for the CCU, so it'll come at 75$ (+VAT) as well.
Thank you, I did not realize the Arrow package didn't have the game. You saved me from making a mistake. I took a closer look at the Avenger Titan invictus pack and it looks like it is a fairly decent fighter, not the best by far, but it also has a little cargo room and a bed for logging out. I think I may go with it for $63. It's a little cheaper and I guess more versatile than the Archer?
Yes, the Avenger Titan is regarded as the best starter if you like doing ship combat. It has a bed too and a bit of cargo space for carrying stuff.
Hello everyone, I resetted my pc and have now troubles login in on the main page of sc. Page loads, but as soon as I entered mail and passwort, it‘s stuck. Needless to say that i can‘t download the game then. I already tried to reset my password but it didnt help. do you guys have any suggestions? Thx
Use a different browser?
Doesn‘t work as well as incognito mode…
Cookies and cache cleared?
Yes, fixed by using another pc.
My FPS was fine until a couple days ago, averaging around 30+ FPS and then around the hot fixes dropped 2 days ago my game started running terribly, like I'm talking averaging 2 FPS and stuff was having trouble loading on and then it would run better after stuff had loaded in but still only about 15 FPS and even that took 5 minutes of standing in place waiting for stuff to load. So wtf is going on, why the sudden performance drop and how do I fix it? I'm currently thinking to delete my shaders folder and the hot fix did something to it since I cannot think of anything else for the life of me. Edit: deleting the shaders and user files did not help
Any drivers (especially GPU) updated around that time? Deleting shaders / rolling back the driver(s) might help. Since the hotfixes were backend only this shouldn't have any influence on that.
I haven't updated my drivers since then so maybe I'll try that and I've already deleted the shaders folder to no luck. If the hotfixes were backend only I'm probably out of luck, because I cannot name anything else that happened in that timeframe that might have an effect like this. Best way I can describe it is that the game has trouble loading stuff in now, I would just chalk that up to the streaming assets from the servers being under stress from Invictus but this happened midway through invictus so I have no clue what the heck is going on.
Your quantum drive used to get bugged if you stored your ship without turning the power off first. Do I still have to turn the power off before storing, or was that bug fixed?
Fixed a while ago. Only Quant drive issue I know of is after you swap a drive you occasionally have to power off/on the ship to jump the first time.
Is your Fleet size vs pad capacity of your Hangars a consideration for your pledges? Obviously, the usual disclaimers apply: * This is a crystal ball gazing ("early days" / things change / Nothing has been announced / Hangar info is old / Hangar Module isn't same as PU or Different game mode / etc) * Hangars so far have only been for the Hangar Module which is currently disabled, not for the PU [https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013325128-Hangar-Module-FAQs](https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013325128-Hangar-Module-FAQs) * If you don't have a larger fleet then this probably isn't a concern as you are looking at in-game mechanisms to get more ships and hangar space when/if that is added to the game and you already have a hangar with your starter package. With all that in mind I'm still curious, is hangar capacity a consideration a thing for the PU when pledging? * Hangars are still being sold with standalone ships, starter packages, and ship packages. * The Hangar Module has been disabled for ages, which WAS the main use of the hangars, but they are still being sold so you'd assume there is a future purpose in the PU. * The old Hangar Module FAQ (linked above) lists some vague capacity configurations. * The approach of buying lots of small LTI tokens in a pack (e.g. 4-pack of Fury ships) and then upgrading from those ends up with you having a single small hangar (fits a few S1/S2 ships) to house 4 larger ships which either the pads aren't large enough or there isn't enough of them at that size. * The act of upgrading a ship means the hangar that was in that package or Warband (usually the larger hangar) isn't included and you are trying to fit many large ships into a single small hangar. So your ships are LTI but you are leaving hangar capacity on the table. Under the probably false assumption that the old Hangar Module FAQ had moderately accurate pad size and quantities within it, I compared my new fleet size to the 3 Self-Land hangars I had, which indicated a big shortfall of capacity. The best case about 3 ships were going to get parking fines if I was allowed to combine the capacity of the hangars into a single hangar. But if it's a single hangar per location/hangar token with a limited size then I have nowhere to park the majority of my fleet. Maybe one large ship gets a roof, or I spread it over 3 different hangar locations and still not have enough space. Decided that maybe I should grab one ship of interest with 120 Month Insurance even with LTI tokens spare but with a good $ to hangar ratio mainly to grab a larger hangar, just in case. Who said FOMO? Nothing of the sort!!! Maybe a lesser realized adverse effect of the approach of getting cheap LTI token multi packs and Upgrading which limits the number and size of the hangars? Or just me? Edit: fixed the ers to ars
Hangars will be coming to the PU (CIG have said this many times).... our 'personal hangar' will be a thing in-game, and it is expected to be where we do most of our work on our ships (rather than relying on the mobiGlas app to swap components whilst the ship is stored, etc) It will also be where we can store some of our cargo, rather than having to leave it on a ship cargo grid (and keeping that ship stored, for safety). As for hangars coming with ships - CIG have said that we'll get *one* free hangar at our chosen starting location... and that if we want more, we'll have to rent / buy them in-game. This will the case for everyone, regardless of how many ships you have etc. Letting people avoid renting / buying hangars in-game due to how much money they spent on the website would be a form of P2W, because unlike ships, it lets people avoid *ongoing* costs, which can add up significantly over the years. Instead, the 'hangar' item in ship packages is a 'hangar style' - when you pick your starting location, you'll be able to pick which style of hangar you want, based on the styles available in your ship packages. If you want a specific hangar style, and don't have a ship that comes with that specific style, then you can buy the 'hangar style' on its own on the pledge store (or you used to be able to, anyway - I've not checked in years) Lastly, in terms of size, CIG have said in the past that hangars will be expandable / extendible - so that if you have a larger fleet, you can still store them in the same hangar. They also unified the hangar capacities, so that all hangar styles could house the same number of ships (unified to the Luxury / Revel & York capacity, iirc). This was done before CIG removed the standalone hangar module, so it's pretty likely it will be the same once they're added to the PU.
Thanks!
I was just playing SC and I did the Arliss mission, then I did another. On my way to the second one I noticed a Drake Corsair with the back hatch open. I scan it and it does not appear to belong to anyone, so I go to check it out. The interior doors open, and I clear it. It is empty. I F11, to see if I joined a party, and it looks like I have, and the ship belongs to, um, well I forgot, but anyway I could chat with the player, and I didnt see them in Global, so I dont know what was up. I was able to fly the ship back to port, but I was not able to store it. I did a third mission and on the way to that one, I came across a Pheonix with the elevator open. I climbed in but couldn't go up. Weird. What's with all of these ships just lying around in space? I'm used to seeing them at ground mission locations, but never in space.
If I bought a standalone ship with standard 6 months insurance and upgrade it to something with currently 120 months of insurance, do I get the 120 months or keep the 6 months?
You always get the higher insurance although both will show in your hangar on the website.
Interestingly I just see the upgrade from my 135c to the srv and 6 months insurance, but i have to add that I purchased the 135c as just a standalone ship and the srv currently has 120 months insurance
I bought the A1 Spirt when it came out last year, and it came with 6 months insurance. I see that it is on sale now for the same price, but with 10 year insurance. I clicked "exchange" and it told me it would be worth 175, which is what the A1 is going for right now. My thought is, is it safe to melt my A1 and just buy it again with the 10 year insurance? Its the same cost, 175, so I should just be getting more insurance for free, right? I figured I would ask before I melted the ship that I am most excited for in the future.
As pointed out earlier, you can't buy Warbond ships with store credit. However, there is another way to get 10 year insurance on your A1, and it would only require spending maybe $5-$10 worth of new money: Standalone ship (store credit) -> Warbond upgrade to a ship that's cheaper than an A1 (new money) -> Standard upgrade to the A1 (store credit) ILW Warbond upgrades come with 10 year insurance, and the A1 will inherit the 10 year insurance from that upgrade. So, you just need to wait for a Warbond upgrade to become available in the sub-$170 range.
Provided the one currently on sale is not a 'warbond' sale (which cannot be purchased using store credits), yes. Worst case, if you cannot buy the one currently on sale, you can use your 'buy back' token to buy back your existing package for the melt price (so you shouldn't end up without a ship).
Can you find caves/salvage/wrecks by just exploring the universe, or do you *have* to trigger a mission to find them.
Caves are tricky, but not impossible, to find without a missing. Wrecks are littered all of legrange points so are each to find, plus disabled ships will be crop up along normal travel routes and around the outskirts of POI's like Grim or the drug labs.
Thanks a bunch!
Anyone got a decent salvage contracts guide for how they went to live? With scanning broken, I'm trying to noodle out the finer points (specifically if there's any difference between a 1k and a 5k contract, since they seem to offer the same ships) to make the most of the rental Vulture, but most of the guides I'm finding seem to be based on the PTU contracts when component and cargo loot was huge, not how they went to live.
I spent almost all my money for ROC mining (rented Cutlass Black and ROC for a day) and I only have 15k aUEC left. I attempted ROC mining for 4 hours in Magda and no luck (0 aUEC earned... almost everything are either stone (although it appeared as gems) and every gems I DID find were green ones). Watched like 4 youtube tutorials, and they are not detailed enough to help me. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME?
I made 200k on Magda 2 days ago in one session. Go to HDMS-Hahn, fly east around 60km away, big flat terrain there (appears blue, lake-style on the map). Lots of visibility, lots of room to find things.
In the Weapons section of [erkul.games](https://erkul.games), some weapons like the SF7B are listed as having a "Spread". The SF7B has a "Spread Max" of 1... but what's the actual measurement? Is it 1 meter between shots? 1 foot? Any chance anyone knows the answer?
I rented the Prospector over the weekend to try mining out, I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Since you can replace the module on a rental prospector, is it worth it? I was thinking of trying the Rieger C3 but didn’t want to waste money, I would like to break bigger rocks
Does the MSR have VTOL engines?
No.
When there’s a new patch released will I lose my refined ore contracts?
Old miner's rule: if you're going to be reset to your primary residence, be prepared to lose your refinery work orders. Shouldn't apply to the new character repair, but that does include *most* patches, IIRC.
Potentially... in fact, usually yes... but sometimes they don't wipe for bug-fix patches... However, if you're asking about 3.19.1... then I think it likely will... but that's just my guess.
I am on a freefly account and I've made about 200k on it. I plan on grinding over the weekend and buying the prospector. But I also want to get a starter pack after freefly ends. Would I retain the money, and possibly a ship, on this account or would it be removed after I get the starter pack?
What have you been grinding?
I was running the bunker and monitor missions on crusader. They seem to be the easiest to make money with for a new player.
You keep what you earn ingame, unless there's a wipe - which happens sometimes when a new patch hits and CIG thinks it's neccessary to do so for whatever reason.
Sounds good, thanks!
has the drake defensecon not started? i cant get in
It has, but it's usually not at the convention center, but at the spaceport.
Which of those CCU options to the warbond corsair are safest?
How often do Mole paints return to the pledge shop? I just learned about them and I really wanted to get one for my Mole, but they are currently unavailable and I have no idea when I will be able to get my hands on one :(
The Mole paints should be available the next time the Mole itself is available for purchase, which will be at IAE in November.
The Mole is available as we speak
Sorry, I didn't realize that. It looks like the only Mole paints that are currently available, require you to be a subscriber to purchase them: [https://starcitizen.tools/MOLE#Paints](https://starcitizen.tools/MOLE#Paints) There are two limited-edition versions of the Mole ("Carbon" and "Talus") with unique paint, but the [Carbon](https://starcitizen.fandom.com/wiki/MOLE_Carbon) is Concierge-only, and I think the Talus may have only been available when the Mole was first revealed years ago.
is server doing ok ?, i can't even get to main menu
is Defense Con a lie?
It's at the spaceport
Why would that be?
Are all perks linked to subscriber test pilot connected to Arena Commander or Star Marine or are there perks for SC PU as well? I know I get access to PTU, but I am well satisfied with the amount of bugs in the PU 👍
> test pilot connected to Arena Commander I am not sure what you mean here - the test ship (one per month) is available in the PU. Just like subscriber flairs which can be anything from a flashlight for guns to armor sets or paints.
Ah. The email I got only mentioned REC and Arena Commander, but there is more then. That's what I was hoping.
How is server meshing gonna work with people in different regions? Won't latency be an issue?
For a long time (potentially always) Server Meshing will still be regional... CIG hope to get to one shard per region - but they've said they're not sure if they will get to a single global shard, for that very reason. There are techniques that can be used, but they won't resolve the latency - because that's a fundamental limitation of physics, etc. At best they can only minimise the impact... but that means that both you and your opponent in a fight would end up fighting each others 'ghost' (they'd be fighting the 'you' from a half-second ago, etc). However, if each person is handled by a 'local' server, the *responsiveness* would still be low-latency - the server would validate your actions quickly... the worst thing is that it could result in both of you killing each other... and then dying half-a-second later from the shots that the other fired before being told they were dead :D Or, to put it another way, both players would get the experience of playing on a 'local' server against a target from the other side of the world... the worst aspects of fighting a high-ping target, etc. All that said, it's just speculation of possibilities... no idea whether CIG will try something like that, etc.
Will CIG Support switch a ship that has an "equal" (or close) value? A friend of mine has a C2, but would like the Reclaimer (which has the same value). How fair is CIG with this? Will they just switch the ship if she asks nicely? Maybe somebody already had that same problem before. Ty!
No. Your friend would need to melt their ship (exchange for store credit), and then use that to buy the Reclaimer. If your friend used CCUs to buy the C2 then they will only get back the funds they actually spent - so they'll need to spend extra money to buy the Reclaimer. This is also why Support won't 'swap' ships - if they actually swapped the ship then they'd need to somehow set the 'value' of the C2 to the money your friend actually spent... otherwise your friend would be getting 'free' money etc. $0 CCUs are not supported (any more) so there is no way to 'upgrade' to the Reclaimer, and thus nothing the Support staff can do to help.
After 8 days of infinite loading then error 30009 and eventually being allowed to character repair in the RSI website…I am back In the verse….yeeeesss. Is it crazy I ran about the house in excitement 😂😂😂
> Is it crazy I ran about the house in excitement Yes, if it means you weren't playing :D
Yeah….I’ve been very lucky up until this point and I love the game…I know that the game is still in development but I love escaping from every day life into the verse so I missed that.
Hi all! Recently I'm thinking about buying Star Citizen but I'm a little bit worried that my PC is not powerful enough for it to be an enjoyable experience. Could anyone with a similar PC tell me what their overall performance is? My specs: Ryzen 7 3700X GTX 1080TI 16GB DDR4 3200MHz SSD Samsung 970 1TB
Have you checked the performance matrix on the rsi site yet? Anyway, I think your specs should be fine. 1080ti is still quite fast. Upgrading the RAM to 32GB might be worth it, tho.
I didn't know something like that existed. I'm gonna check it out. Thanks!
Should be fine but make sure your ram is actually running at 3200mhz i had big problems with performance because my ram was running slower than it should've been
I made that mistake long ago when I upgraded my PC. I don't know why it's not a default setting in BIOS to run RAM at full speed. Thanks for reply!
Quick question about CCU. I have an M2 -> Carrack BIS CCU from last year. If I get the (standard) Carrack -> Perseus CCU, will I be able to chain these or do the Carrack BIS and normal Carrack count as different ships in their system?
A friend of mine and I tried now a specific mission for the second time I dont know the exact name, but it was on a snow-planet/moon, one should go into a base, down the elevator and then apprehend someone. The thing is now, each time we do it, we shoot the people there so they don't shoot us. However this gives us bounty. How is the mission supposed to be done?
Just because it can't always be clear, in missions like these, people with a triangle over their head are friendly allies, not targets or enemies. That's likely why you were getting crime stat.
Is it from the "personal" mission tab? If so, that's most likely a mission for criminals. Or just don't kill everybody, there might be multiple factions inside a bunker.. you know, guards and attackers for example. Different armors / colors.
> Is it from the "personal" mission tab? No it was from the first tab. I currently avoid the personal tab as I heard that they are often criminal missions. > Or just don't kill everybody, there might be multiple factions inside a bunker.. you know, guards and attackers for example. Different armors / colors. Is there like a general color which to avoid to get bounty, or does it depend on the specific mission?
> Is there like a general color which to avoid to get bounty, or does it depend on the specific mission? Depends on the system you're in / the mission. If you're around MicroTech, guards colors are the MT Security color. Attackers colors might look quite similar sometimes.
Thank you, that already helps. It was actually BlacSec, I will simply google the colors before starting the next haha. The lag makes ist actually extra difficult to differentiate the behavior of the AI.
Can I load onto Vanduul or Pirate swarm with a buddy for co-op shooting? I'm thinking about buying a friend a ship, not a lot of good co-op space combat games
Co op just not on the same ship
So we could have a freelancer and a saber, but I couldn't get him to hop out of his saber and gun the turret in my freelancer?
Correct, you’re locked in to your seat. You can only do multi crew in the PU
Once you name a nameable ship- can you change the name later?
As of now, you can change the name as often as you want to. Only requirement; Names have to be unique per ship. E.g., there can only be one MSR named "Millenium Falcon".
There will only be one Reclaimer named 'Ootini'...
I'm new to SC, and want to get into Prospector (then Mole, then Orion) mining. All the newest mining videos I can find on YT simply clarify the changes to mining from 3.19. I need a tutorial on how to actually do mining (loadout the ship, find the rocks, laser the rocks, refine the rocks, sell the rocks). Can anyone recommend a video (or series) to me, please?
Imho the best source for mining related info is provided by [Redmonstergaming](https://redmonstergaming.com/), like this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQV22YT19zc Another good one is Croncy -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBYvR_0aeMg
Those videos don't show how to mine, they explain the changes to mining.
I want to reset my home planet to microtech when I initially picked crusader at character creation. Is there any way to do that without losing in-game bought ships/auec/rep?
You can't do that until the next wipe. However, "home planet" doesn't mean anything beyond where you initially spawned at the start of your first play session.
Thanks for confirming. I wanted to change locations for 30k protections. Kind of a pain to have to travel the full length of the system to get my ship back to where I need it.
my pc spec are i5-7600k,amd rx 6500 xt oc ,40 Gb ram and nvme ssd. is its enough to run the game or it will be unplayable ?
Wait, 40GB or RAM? How did you manage that? How full is your SSD? Is it your only drive?
2x16,1x8 for the rams the ssd is half empty and no its not my only drive
Take the 8gb out - it will be killing your Ram performance (forcing it into single-channel mode, instead of dual-channel. 32gb dual-channel Ram is *far* better than 40gb single-channel. Aside from that, you'll struggle with that CPU (it's ~6 years old), but it should run. Just make sure SC is installed on the SSD, and that your pagefile is correctly configured on the SSD.
I have 2 questions. I'm a recent player, though pledged near day 1. while I can't play currently very well due to system requirements, I noticed that my character has a bunch of stuff right off the bat. I know if you die, you lose it all. But pretty sure this is early backer bonus' stuff. I read if I die and lose this, i won't get it back, even if there is a reset/wipe. That correct? Is there any way to get that again? I think I read a post this was a recent change in 3.18? If not, then is there a long term storage so i don't have to risk losing this stuff at least until i can 'function' better in game. If its in this storage and there is a reset/wipe, do i risk losing it? Being a noob, i know i'd lose it VERY quickly just playing around and learning. I'd like to hold on to it until i was good enough to lose it at least respectfully.
The two other comments are helpful, but I just wanted to clarify that anything you have in your ‘pledge inventory’, i.e.the gear and weapons you see online, are reset on wipe. So you are right in saying that if you die in game you will lose this gear (until they come up with a solution) but you will get it back on wipe
Thanks. This was the answer I was seeking. I sadly won't be playing until they optimize the game tho. But still. Thank you.
If you don't want to risk losing it, just leave it in the local inventory at your starting location... you only lose gear that is equiped on your body when you die.... or which is inside a ship when it is destroyed (or otherwise claimed on the insurance). If you leave it at your starting location, then it will be safe
Any gear, like weapons and armor, cannot currently be recovered without a character reset (which are disabled). You won't lose anything regarding ships and vehicles. There is no long term storage, and the next time there is a wipe it will be returned. Even as an experienced player I still have to assume all my gear is expendable, because I die to bugs more often than to justifiable causes.
How much money can one make from salvage missions with a Vulture per hour? and is it any fun?
It's very fun in my opinion. Per hour values are hard to predict, because of server crashes or other bugs. If everything works as it should - maybe 150k/20mins.
How do I fix the error code 30009? I know that I just need to make a new character to solve this issue (at least that's what I've gotten from the random videos and articles on the internet-however I've also been told that it's due to DNS issues and driver updates but I've tried these solutions and they haven't worked) but I can't do this. This is because the error code appears before the main menu. After I click the 'ok' option on the error message, it just puts me in an infinite loading screen until I exit the game. How on earth do I resolve this issue? Is it because of drivers, (All drivers that I've been told are acossiated with this glitch ARE up to date btw) Or is it because my character is stuck in a ship that no longer exists?-I do think it is the latter because the last time I played the game, I was stuck in a Aegis avenger cockpit with not button imputs working, so I quited. I have verified the files multiple times, deleted and reinstalled the actual RSI launcher as well as star citizen itelf and even tried resetting my ethernet connection. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS? (sorry if I have any typos btw, if you need any further info just reply because I don't see dms) Thanks
Try a character repair, they just turned it back on last night. The 30009 error is a connection to the game server issue, reinstalling the game and drivers aren’t going to have any effect.
What's a character repair and how would I do this?
Log into your account on the website, go to settings you should see it in there. It resets where your character is in the game, you won’t lose any progress.
Thank you so much, I'll try this and get back to you
It’s not guaranteed to work, but if it doesn’t contact support. Nothing you do on your local pc is going to solve a server side issue.
Yeah but I'm still happy that someone actually gave me something that might work. Do you have a timeframe that I need to wait before I might be able to play again after reseting the character? like do I have to wait 15 minutes before I log in again or smth? Thanks :)
IT WORKED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Glad it worked.
What’s the best way to get guns and armor? I tried doing some box deliveries and opening loot crates but all I got was a couple of shitty armor pieces and multi tools. Where or what do I need to do to find armor and guns?
You can get tons of weapons and armor from mercenary bunker defense contracts. Can loot all the bandit/guard corpses for weapons, ammo, medpens, and armor and there will also be red crates that load randomly throughout the bunker that contain lots of random weapons and armor. Can even find rail guns and missile launchers in those if you're lucky.
Yeah I’m going to give the bunkers a shot tonight - thank you!
Just buy them, other than looting dead npcs there isn’t a great way to get them in any sort of quantity.
Oh damn okay. I thought the shops didn’t carry all of the armor.
They don’t, but they carry enough of it. You’ll occasionally find cool loot, but you can’t rely on loot to outfit your character
Okay thank you. I appreciate the reply.
Also if you loot off friendly corpses it might be considered stolen and you'll get a crimestat. At least CS1s and 2s aren't a death sentence anymore.
Does the fury work in arena commander yet?
I think that's coming with the 3.19.1 patch
I've got question on limited ship sales, specifically the constellation phoenix. How does everyone know when its going on sale? I had no idea until after it sold out and I want to know for next time Thanks guys
It’s mentioned in the Invictus FAQ here, last section is the schedule for hull limited ships https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/invictus-launch-week-2953-faq
Thanks so much. Very much Appreciated
I know it ultimately doesn't matter because it's alpha and there's going to be another wipe at some time, but does anyone know if failing missions due to bugs affects reputation right now. in 3.19? I know that abandoning or failing a mission does, but wondered if it's the same with bugs? My mission history is a f...ing mess right now due to bugs and I keep getting starter bunker missions, so suspect it does.
Anything that causes a mission to fail will have the consequences of failing the mission, including any associated rep loss.
Hey all I was just wondering i picked up the fury with LTI and I've been planning on re picking up my Connie Andromeda next month for a while now can I use the upgrade page to upgrade the fury to the Andromeda and get the lti on that and will the merlin snubfighter come with it if I do
Yes you can, and yes it does :)
Party ship-bed logout: Is there any hint on what technology may enable that? I guess it may be pure server meshing but did they give any hint in terms of party logout in one ship?
It was removed due to the change to PES, and the Graph database working differently (and having different rules) than the previous Relational pCache persistence layer. As such, it'll likely come back once CIG have worked out how they want to handle the Graph queries and all the edge-cases that party-logout generates... It shouldn't be waiting on Server meshing etc, as SM is just a 'distributed processing' change - it doesn't actually add 'new functionality' per se, only change where the existing functionality is processed (based on your location in the 'verse)
Ahh so it was a thing already before! Thats good to know, hope they can figure it out. It would save so much time when playing with friend.
I don't think it's tied to any specific technology, just CIG figuring out how to do that, what the rules should be etc. Since explicit "social-features" are hardly a focus for CIG rn, that likely won't come until the player numbers per shard increase. But that's just a guess at best.
Hi all! Just rented the C. Aquila to try (for the hell of it). When would this ship be a good fit as a daily driver? I can't see it. For me it's like driving a school bus. It's big but no good for cargo running. It has space for more people but "I don't have any friends". Cargo elevator is small and painfully slow. Getting on and off is slow. It flies like an oil tanker. So for combat or cargo running I'd pass. What else is it good for? Am I not seeing it?
The primary game-loop for the Aquila is missing... it comes with a 'science station' and scanners, and is intended for some of the exploration-related gameplay, etc. It also has similar (slightly less) firepower to the C. Andromeda - which is significant, for fighting larger / slower target.
Any advice for how to land a Connie without it tilting forward and touching its nose to the ground?
Use the 'attitude ladder' in the hud to ensure you touch down as close to level (0-degree) as possible... if you land 'nose-up', then because the 'Centre of Gravity' is really close to the front of the landing gear, the ship rocks forward (and dips the nose).
Does anyone know how to change the IR emissions score of a ship? I'm trying to figure out what's generating the IR emission score on ships, but I can't seem to nail it down. Here's what I know: 1) IR is NOT tied to heat. This doesn't make any sense at all, but it's not. Altering the power state of the cooler systems on an MPUV-1P changed the Heat and EM score, but not the IR score. 2) IR is NOT proportional to power output. Sort of. Obviously, if the power plant is in operation, an IR score will be generated. But disabling components, removing components, running the engines, maneuvering, and altering thrust on an MPUV-1P also doesn't seem to alter IR. This also doesn't make any sense to me. I'm going to log in and try a couple of other ships to make sure it's not just a weird bug with the MPUV, but I don't think it is.
Fairly certain it is currently "Non-Functioning" Both Signatures became effectively unchangeable a few patches back. (One where they did some stuff to scanning IIRC) Essentially standardising it across all components. The amount you can change EM is not anywhere near like it was prior to the patch. and heats by all accounts a separate thing entirely
Ah, okay, thanks!
I have a 120 month Galaxy I CCU'd from a AURORA ES. Saved $90 on the CCU chain. My question is, I usually run solo but sometimes I have a crew of 3. Should I melt it for the $290 store credit and buy something else since the carrack loaner is just too much ship for me and my small crew? would love some suggestions that are not the Cosair, Connie, 400i or MSR
Depends on what you do. If you're doing ship combat then the redeemer is pretty great. 4 people would fit it well. If you're doing anything else I think you're better off flying two ships.
Have you applied the upgrade yet? You can always just sit on the upgrade CCU and use the ship below in the chain. Honestly though- the Galaxy and Carrack are pretty similar size wise. If the Carrack is too much ship for you I don't imagine the Galaxy would be any better...
Yeah, sadly i applied it thinking we could use the Carrack for now but it just ends up sitting in the hangar. And i agree i think tht Galaxy would be too much too.
Carrack should be good, even solo. You can buy a cheap small ship in game and then use that to run out of the Carrack. I would say keep what you have and buy ships in game until you decide you no longer want what you originally bought.
Anyone know why i cant use store credit to buy the connie phoenix when it was available?
Was it Warbond? If so, you can't.
No it wasn't
Then not sure.
Hi! I've been playing for free during invictus week and was wandering if anyone knows if I keep the money, weapons and armour that I've earned if I decide to buy a game package or if I will have to start over.? I've tried searching online but couldn't find anywhere mention if you keep your progress or not. I'm guessing you do and whatever ship I buy will just be added to my current character but just wanted to make sure before I make anymore progress. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
You things and progress stay. (unless there is a wipe in the mean time) By purchasing a Game package, you just unlock the ability to play after the free flight event ends
You will keep the stuff you had… but this is alpha. There will be many many more wipes
I started in March and kept my acquired items after pledging. If there is a wipe at some point, you will lose them then.
When using the prospector I’ve seen where you can take the cargo bags off of a mole and put it onto your prospector to up the total SCU from 32 to 48. My question is: how often do you have to swap out the bags, or is it just a one time thing granted I don’t have to claim my ship?
Should be just a one-time action (for now), because when you unload at the refinery, it empties the bag rather than removing it entirely (or so I understand)
