Let's keep this meme train a-rollin'. Toot toot!

222 Pitbulls all placed individually on the main flight deck and all 4 pads, internal hangars not counted in this.

As a teacher and someone whose job it is to speak often and in front of a decent amount of people, it’s just a matter of time before you say something stupid. It’s just a matter of time before you get a lesson in learning that the effect that you think are having is different from the effect you are having. I miss him.

As a long time Polaris owner who almost never used it due to size reasons, Centaurus seems the best size for a solo player, a really good ship.

Seriously dude. i mean what gives. its like Stanton is just full of Greefers at the moment. roming in packs around planet's OM points to catch people. And then people just ramming ships trying to use the EVA lifts. I have been caught several times so far. but i am determined to get this event cleared. I thought I would just put in 1 reclaimer job to seraphim station to push that collection mission up a little. only to hear a loud FK you in the form of a ships after burner as they slammed into me.
is this a protest or something? Do people just not like Reclaimers. or have i broken some unknown social etiquette or something? good thing theirs about a week left. I am determined to do this no matter what.

[EDIT]: Wow guys, the response has been overwhelming. 85 replies in less than 50 minutes! I love this community already. I think I'm going to wait until the next free fly event before committing to anything, but I can't wait to see all you amazing people out there in the 'verse!

I don't intend on being too combat-focused. I love the idea of being a salvage main, but a bit of reading on the forums seems to suggest that salvage isn't in a particularly good place at the moment, so I'll probably be looking at a cargo ship.

Posts from a few years ago all seem to list the Avenger Titan as the best starter ship, but I don't know if that's still true in 2026.

I love the aesthetics of the Reliant Kore and the Syulen, would either of those be a good starter?

The Cutter and Aurora Mk II both look pretty interesting too.

The Salvation looks great and suits my ideal playing style, but again, I've heard bad things about salvage gameplay.

Note: I am specifically referring to the new “Gold Standard” Constellation Phoenix that was updated recently.

So what is the next old ship that is getting a re-work/update/MK2 treatment?

Ships that I would like to get an treatment are:
Avenger.
Caterpillar.
MSR.
600i.

IAE starts on the 13th of November and goes through the rest of the month, ending on the 30th. We all look forward to CCUs and new ship releases. I've posted the "expected" ships and some speculation. Which ships do you think will actually see a release during IAE? Which will be punted? Will all the data leaked ships be released?

The only ones set in stone are the Skylark (because it's already included with the Connie Mk V) and the Galaxy (because CIG has stated it will be put up for sale during IAE).

People expect to see the Liberator, but what about the D10? Will the Forge and MFC be punted to 2027? When will we see the Connie Mk V variants?

Well, I’d love for trees to be destructible—for them to sustain damage when a ship or vehicle collides with them. That would be amazing, though I know it’s not an easy thing to implement.

Hello everybody hope youre well. Ill try to keep it short and sweet.

Wanting to buy my first ship other than my starter ship.

Test drove the mk v last night and liked it. Is the price for it cheap or reasonable?

Also saw on a video last night there is a potential ship sale coming next month.

Isit best to wait till next month.

Also I see alot of people talking about melting ships.

If I say spend 250 on the mkV and change my mind next month can I melt it and still have 250 to spend on the sale? Thanks everyone

Looking at so many massive fleets, I wanted to take a different approach for launching my MMO journey.

No endless JPEG collection, no unreachable crew requirements—just a grounded, human-scale fleet for 2 or 3 of us to actually fly and play with on day one (even with loaners for the Genesis/E1 concepts), leaving plenty of room to farm and earn the rest in-game.

• A balanced mix of freight, data running, VIP transport, and stealth deterrence.

What do you think of this setup?

Bought a kickstarter pack in 2015 and really have only signed in a few times over the last 10 years, is it too late to jump into the universe with only a starter ship?
