A Longshoreman or Trader aboard could help you buy for lower and sell for higher... or get extra goods when scooping cargo...

<t>I haven't been able to run the game for a few versions now, it does happen with the occasional release so I didn't bother bringing it up until a few releases in a row had problems.I ran it from the console to see what errors came up and I'm getting this... eric@eric-GF7100-7050PVT-M3:~/Downloads ...

<t>New Iteration... From Above and behind[attachment=2541:DSAU.png] View of the Fuel Scoop[attachment=2542:DSFB.png] Cargo Scoop... and maybe a Drone / missile Bay?[attachment=2543:DSFU.png] I'm still not sure how "clean" to keep it all, There are no Wings or Fins (yet?) and the Sensor Mast is just ...

<t>So I've been playing with Blender a bit lately and I've got a rough model together for a Patrol / Exploration ship I'm tentatively calling a Spitfire.[attachment=2526:SpitTop.png][attachment=2527:Spitside.png][attachment=2528:SpitAft.png] Here's a closer shot of the front Cargo Scoop / Loading ...

<t>Well I use the Navigation Screen as "Instruments" for Orbital Flight... F2 then F6 gets you the System Map with your trajectory plotted as a red line... but it's the trajectory according to the current Reference Frame so until the Frame switches to the Jovian world you don't get trajectory data ...

<t>Just did a run at a Small Jovian with no moons and it didn't switch reference frames until I was about 50 000 km out... I can eyeball it to a certain point but you NEED instruments to do it properly and reliably and you need those instruments to be useful a lot sooner than they currently are ...

There's a new money cheat...open the in-game console (the ` or ~ button) and type import("Game").player:AddMoney(N) Where N is the amount of money you want

<r>I've done a few more flights above a few different planets, my craziest so far was hitting the Atmosphere of Hercules at a bit more than 250 kps!!At what distance does the switch to flight relative to the Planet vs Star happen? As far as I can see from the Navigation Screen it looks like it ...

<t>In real life and in-game Hydrogen is by far the most plentiful element. I can fill the hold with hydrogen in a matter of minutes "in the wild" by scooping a Jovian, even the largest ship will fill up fairly quickly. Those large ships also have engines that sometimes need thousands of tonnes of ...

Entering Uranus' atmosphere... I seem to have lost my shots of the ascent...[attachment=2503:Screenshot from 2014-02-02 09:21:53.png]

<t>It's been a while since I've been able to do much flying... but I just did a dry run with the starting ship in v20140201 into the Atmosphere of Uranus and the difference is amazing!!! I'll have to cheat myself up a proper rig for some experimentation but I was able to aerocapture quite easily ...

The money cheat is gone?! Well.. back to gunrunning for the Martian Resistance...

Not a question... but not sure where else to put it... thought you'd get a kick out of this, nozmajner... it's your fish! [url]http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/12/absurd-creature-of-the-week-3/[/url]

If anyone has given though to liquids that might be useful, too. I've heard talk of a way to land on water to refuel, maybe do some fishing over the side...If you can fiddle with the gas parameters would that make a big difference with Venus, too?

<r>I've been flying scoopships for quite a while, modded up my old Wave a while back to fit one but these days I like to just manually fly around in a bare-bones Mola Mola fitted for prospecting (atmo shield, shield, f scoop, c scoop, level 1 hyper and mining cannon) and just drift along.I can ...

The button to activate the hyperdrive is F7 (or click the F7 button near the bottom of the screen towards the right)You need to have a target star selected from the Navigation menus (F2 to bring up) and enough hydrogen (or radioactives, for a military drive) to make the trip.

Leave it, include more religions to increase the noise to blasphemy ratio.

<t>I can't tell if it's a problem since the SDL change happened or with a more recent version, I missed a couple, but the mouse controls have gotten worse. The cursor just goes invisible while holding RMB to point the ship and you still run into the edge of the screen, stopping the ability to turn ...

For time, the autopilot can't be beat... for conserving deltaV... I can't be beat
