I've been on a hiatus, sandworms bit me. But my friend said they would like to play some SC soon so I updated the game and for a test switched to Vulkan. I'm positively surprised that not much has changed in ship mechanics, so I don't have to rebuild my erkul builds. Not that I was able to earn enough (in-game. I don't intend to pay more RL money after game package) to buy even one ship that would be better than my starter
Heh, it kinda does at the moment.
Not much changed since 4.0 in terms of flight model but an updated version is currently in testing by "secret groups" so who knows when we'll get it. Probably not with 4.3.2 considering how Yogi's comments about the thing sounded when patch notes from the thing leaked recently.
I'm also sticking to just game package for real money purchases, anything else is bought in game. Since I don't really do any cost intensive gameplay nor spend money on things I don't really need or want, buying a Hornet was something I could do on a whim.
What's your starter? I'm curious how expensive a ship would have to be to improve on it.
I'm flying in a Nomad. But I might be kind of special, after I rented a few ships I don't think a Cutlass or C1 are an improvement. Those only have more cargo space but slower pitch, with the same shields. I was testing out different weapons and the ones that are agreeable with me depend a lot on pitch and speed of the ship. To me it seems like (apart from Vulture and Prospector, to unlock other loops) the next ships that would be an improvement are Corsair or Taurus. With outfitting that's 8-9M. And I couldn't get Vaughan to give me missions with nice cargo, even with cheesing his missions. Only once I got a target with valuables. I know that now supposedly one can try to steal the cargo in abandoned hangars in Pyro. But the last time I tried it (few months ago), ship despawned in the middle of QT. I've seen in the comments under YT videos that for some it does the same in current version
So mostly I abandoned the idea of saving for another ship soon. I've been chlling out in Pyro, trying to get rep with Prosperity (Headhunters are not cool in my book), maybe they will have something interesting to offer on higher levels
Another option is to earn a ship from Contested Zones or Wikelo.
Oh, right. I was thinking of checking out CZs. I am afraid of organized groups farming the cards for "whatever-day-that-was giveway", though. But definitely I'll check those out
Wikelo, to me, was an unbearable grind. Even before it was worth it to try to mine the unobtainium he wants
