Added a Second Cat in 3.8


Timbur's Log Tue 24 March 2950

Today we bought a Drake Caterpillar for Selwyn_Lindquist. Notable efforts go to Drunk_Mavrick, AstralWizard and Time_Lord_Victorious. Time_Lord lead a three hour long hauling effort yesterday to finish of the last million worth of credits for that 4.6 million Cargo hauler. Sq was the MVP, putting that new cat to work earning over 2.4 million credits over the past week.

Not only did we earn enough to purchase the new ship, but we left at least 400,000 credits per hauler so that we could continue earn credits at the same rate.


Right now we have seven Caterpillar pilots if each of us doing just a few runs every day, about one hour worth of trading, we'll earn about 200,000 credits per day per caterpillar. That put's us at a rate of 1.4 million every day for minimal effort. Our best understanding of Star Citizen commodities indicate that this operation is scalable so there doesn't appear to be a limit on how large we can grow this, our only challenge is to recruit enough players who are willing to work cooperatively with us.

This is a great example of the power of teamwork in an organization. Thanks to everyone who has made this happen.

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

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...
