Timbur's Log,

We're back to  hauling cargo today. There is a super secure route from the TDD at Area at to the building next to it, IO Tower or the North Tower also on area 18 selling agricultural supplies. It's not much but it's something if you really need to earn credits securely. At 1 credit a unit, about 60,000 credits is all you'll need. Keep in mind the demand is limited so you can only sell a few caterpillar loads before they won't buy any more.

Today we went back to Tram and Myers, we found that in about 5 trips in the caterpillar will deplete the demand at Port Olisar. It's worth 250,000 credits to do it but you can't get much more than 5 trips in. Laranite there, is likely limited to one trip, and the price of titanium continues to be too high to buy. I teamed up with El_Dio, Rich Banks and Astral Wizard.

After fulfilling the demand for diamond at Port Olisar, we headed to the other outpost to see if we could find a comparable route, the best seemed to be 157 to Olisar but the price of Astatine seems to fluctuate to quickly to turn to much of a profit. I'll try to find some more routes around crusader to turn a quick profit.

In the above image you'll see that we're doing okay on the profit side of things. It looks like we're a little under our planned goal of earning a caterpillar by the end of this week. I'm figuring we'll need 7.5 million to buy a second caterpillar while also having enough to stock both caterpillars with a full load of Laranite. We'll still have to check a few routes to make sure that will pan out, or we'll adjust our tactics.

As of today we're sitting at 1.2 million, that a nice 16% progress to our goal of getting a caterpillar.

I'll see you in the verse!

Timbur's Log 19 Nov 2949

Teaming up with SQ, Selwyn and Rich_Banks, we wanted to test scaling up our cargo operations to see if flying a command ship, plus multiple cargo ships would result in a faster profit per minute. The theory comes from the long transit times running to and from the buy and sell console. If we give this job to only ONE ship owner, could we spawn multiple cargo vessels while still sharing the same minimum time running from ship to console? The ideal run would have the command ship arriving before the cargo vessels to buy and sell at the trade console the second the cargo ship arrives. An added advantage is that multiple cargo ships could also be added to the route to multiply the profit of the run. Factor in the high supply and demand for some commodities, we can push them to their limits with this method. An example how having a lead ship could double profits and shorten loop time The standard method of hauling cargo is by having two players on one caterpillar. The Owner and the ...

A few thoughts on Star Citizen's Reputation System

My Thoughts on the Reputation System I took the time yesterday to outline and summarize questions and answers from the AMA on the reputation system and I though I would share my results. Overall I believe the reputation system is on the right track and I'm looking forward to having AI in the game recognize you and respond to you based on the reputation you have with each faction, and the outcome of those interactions affecting your overarching reputation.  Feel free to view the full AMA here.   AMA Reputation System Intro Hello everyone and welcome to our AMA about the Reputation System.

A New Day, A New Goal

Image
Turns out Timbur's BHAG wasn't hairy enough so we'll set a new goal. Goal: Buy two more Drake Caterpillars by 3.9.  As it turns out my big hairy audacious goal wasn't hairy enough so we'll have to up it to a Cat a week until 3.9 hits and we'll see just how many cats we can get. Let's figure we have until the end of the month for the patch to hit so that's about a week and half worth of cargo. That sounds like just enough to get another two Drake Caterpillars by 3.9. Let's make it happen! Daily Review: We did about an hour and half worth of cargo runs and that enabled us to get around 200k per caterpillar in profit. If we can keep this pace up everyday, that would mean we could add another 5 million caterpillar to the fleet every 5 days. A Caterpillar a week sounds like a great plan. Starting bright and early we were able to field five caterpillars across the verse. It's great to see our coordination as we travel across the system an...
