No Fly Zones Cause Major Losses

Ready for Action on board the Carrack


Timbur's Log, Thursday 19 March 2050

Today we ran a few bounty missions, claim jumper missions, and tested out a scramble race, where Time_Lord_Victorious won the title as the fastest man in the verse.

Bounty Hunting Near Yela
We met a new player today, Jonathan_Smith, welcome to Cathcart and welcome to Star Citizen. He's looking to earn a few credits on the side, so he's found the right place. We also teamed up with SeraSerenity.

But first let's report what you'll all looking for the numbers. You'll have to apologize for my lack of paperwork, my secretary Rich Banks, was recently shot while boarding the Carrack on the Tumbril Cyclone. What can I say, except crime doesn't pay.

Rich_Banks was recently involved in a major Carrack crash just outside of Lorville. Apparently he had been involved in the usual illegal actively receiving a crime stat. He then had the bright idea to have Time_Lord load up his ship full of cargo from Arial before flying to the high security city of Lorville. The story doesn't end here, as our friends had the clever plan to land near one of the outside gates, committing death by the Hurston guards, but then being revived on board the Carrack. I have to admit it was a good plan but as Time_Lord drove toward the gate, Rich flew the Carrack into the no fly zone destroying the ship and emptying Time_Lord's balance to zero. The balance included several hundred thousand credits I had personally invested.

Reporting losses, I almost forgot to mention that SQ crashed into the no fly zone near Area 18, losing a full load of Titanium.
No fly zones have now racked up to over a million credits worth of damage to our cargo operation over the past few days alone. So I'll be taking up our claims with both Hurston Dynamics and ArcCorp who had better fulfill our demands or we'll take are very profitable commerce operation elsewhere.

Loses to report:



  • SQ crashed into the no fly zone near Area 18, losing a full load of Titanium, roughly 500,000 credits lost. 
  • Rich crashed into the no fly zone near Lorville costing us over 500,000 worth of credits, Laranite and Titanium. 


Despite a few losses we're still reporting a continuous profit, and plan to buy another two Drake Caterpillars before the 3.9 patch hits. I'll see you in the verse!

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. With Star Citizen Alpha 3.13 - Underground Infamy, we introduced the first iteration of the Reputation Manager which is now available on the mobiGlas, giving you the ability to see your standing with the various organizations and mission-givers across Stanton. Today we have various guests from different departments answering your most burning questions on how we want to further iterate th...

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...
