I know, personal preference and all, but isn’t the MTC just a slightly too large Ursa? Ground vehicles are not so useful right now, but the UTV has the 1 SCU available at least. Can anyone explain why it’s such a landslide so far in the ship showdown?
Looking online I get mostly tours and ads for tours. What particular sights should we prioritize? I know of Lake Yellowstone and Old Faithful (though I've seen geysers before in Iceland). I also have checked the box to stay very far away from buffalo and stay on the approved trails/walkways (no wandering around on the edge of a steaming acid pool).
Any advice is appreciated.
Edit: so many good suggestions. Very grateful to you all!
I really like mining, but one improvement would be to the "Impossible/Easy" indicator. The issue is when it says Impossible but does that mean it's really way out of possible, or do you just need a little bit like slapping on a gadget to get it to work with your mining head.
I would rather see something like a percent range of power that head needs. So if it's an easy rock, it would say 10-50% power. Medium 30-70%, or something like that. The key is when it gets to impossible. Is it 110-150%, in which case you might be able to do it with a gadget or swapping a module, or is it 400-440% power needed in which case you should just move on.
I rarely get out of the ship to put a gadget on, mostly because I'm not sure it will work. So some vague indication that it might work would be great.
Long post, but with servers how they are, I thought I'd work on the problem of endless mouse scrolling when you are using a tractor beam.
The solution is AutoHotKey, a free mapping program that is easy to use. This is the same program I've used for years to make an autowalk button (caps lock for me). I wanted to use an extra mouse button to scroll continuously, with a focus on scroll up (tractor out). I have an Anker vertical mouse that has those two extra buttons near your thumb. I want to set the front one for scroll up and the rear one for scroll down.
I won't explain every step for using AutoHotKey, as there are many pages dedicated to that and can explain better than I can, but I'll hit the main points. You create a script which says this:
; Map Mouse thumb buttons to Scroll. 2 is the forward one, 1 is behind
XButton2::
while GetKeyState("XButton2", "P")
{
Send {WheelUp 5}
Sleep 20
}
return
XButton1::
while GetKeyState("XButton1", "P")
{
Send {WheelDown 5}
Sleep 20
}
return
To run the script you can double click it, but that means you have to do that every time you boot up. Better to save this script (I called it Star Citizen Startup) in your startup folder in windows. The bonus is that now when you are on other programs you can use the buttons to quickly scroll up or down as well.
Conflicts:
I personally was using those mouse buttons for other things (target selection and flares while flying, and the rear one for inventory while FPS). So when flying, I changed the keybind for changing weapon groups to another key (F3, since using that for both calling landing and changing weapon groups won't be an issue based on context of when they are used). Ultimately I decided not to use my script for the scroll down (pull towards you with tractor) and keep that thumb button on inventory. It's just so handy and you can still use the scroll wheel as normal for tractor pull.
The point is: once you do this, just think about any rebinding you need to do.
Bonus use for AutoHotKey - Autowalk
I set caps lock to autowalk (hold down W), and hitting W again turns it off. So basically anytime I move for more than a second, I slap Caps and then Shift to autorun. Here is the script for that;
Capslock::
AutoWalkToggle = 0
AutoWalkToggle := !AutoWalkToggle
If (AutoWalkToggle)
Loop
{
if (BreakLoop = 1)
break
Send, {w Down}
Sleep 50
if (!AutoWalkToggle)
BreakLoop = 1
Return
}
Return
Conflicts: you want to actually use Caps lock when not playing the game
No problem, Shift + Caps Lock makes caps lock work like normal without triggering the script. This is just native windows functionality.
I hope this helps folks who are tired of scrolling, and/or holding down W to walk. It's a super neat program and works great. Best of luck and see you all in the verse, once the servers get some TLC.
Slightly late in posting but super proud of my kid for this drawing. They don’t usually draw.
Hi all,
From my research online, including a few posts here, I am seeing the below. Can someone confirm that this is right? I'm looking at Unlimited Premium.
-Pricing is per line, no family plans (but still excellent pricing)
-You pick a network to be on, and a second one is a little extra. You have to manually switch to the second one if you get low signal on the first?
-International travel is a bit tricky, as the plan doesn't have much international data, so it's best to do something like get an esim.
-When in the US, international calling is included, it's just when you go overseas that is an issue.
We are a family of 4 on ATT right now. With teens, we need unlimited data. We occasionally travel overseas (like once every other year) for a week.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
