Final Results for Patch 3.6.0

3.6.1 Just went live today so it's time to publish our results for 3.6.0.

Overall we earned over nine and a half million credits and achieved our goal of adding another caterpillar to the fleet, gifted to AstralWizard, before the patch was wiped. Thanks to everyone who participated in trading this patch, and if you weren't able to make it out, there's plenty of opportunity in 3.6.1.


Due to the limited time for the patch, and each patch is going to change the number of day we can trade, the total earned is not really that important of a number, instead let's take a look at the average amount that we were able to earn on any given day.


We can see that our Averaged Profit per Day was 454,259 UEC. This is the number of credits that we are able to earn every day on average over the course of the patch. If we look at the daily balance details we can see we stared out pretty quickly but did run into a loss early on due to server instability. Then towards the end we fizzled out due to the incoming patch. If we don't count the days we missed we earned around 638,000 per day. Overall that's a pretty good amount but I'd really like to see if we can push this number to the limit, and we do that by adding in new traders to the roster. Essentially if this is what we can do with 1 or 2 traders what would it look like if 4 traders or 10 traders? The number of traders would be defined as the number of cargo haulers that actively play each day and contribute to the overall profit.


That sums it up for 3.6.0, let's get out there and see if we can beat our record in 3.6.1. 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.

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...
