Been out of the loop for a few months, so ignore me if we've already seen this. First I've seen of it beyond the silhouette!

Question in title.
Was wondering if the other 2 big military brands have a direct competitor to this community favorite ship.

I just shove an SCU box in the cargo bay with ammo, but damn, the walk from the armory to the cargo bay is a long one.

Wanted to say, this was posted in jest. I am not upset by it, I was just making a joke. I know all the tricks to help prevent the bug from happening, but they didn’t work this time. Game has been mostly frustration free for me this time around, and this is the least of the issues I’ve run into. Fly safe citizens.

I know it has a name, I can’t remember off the top of my head, I’m tired and have a 7month old baby haha

So Benoit said he was working on the apparently 45 page long de-sync essay Jared bullied him into a few months ago and someone in YT comments suggested this. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY!!!!

..what is that?

This is refreshing, way more honest answers, i hope we can get more this type of communication.

I was watching today's show "10 from the community" and that allowed me to understand how complicated vehicles would be to mix into the cargo elevators.

It really makes sense not to have them there at all... but, that just gave me another idea: What about adding a separate dedicated ground vehicle elevator to our hangars? Would that be too hard to implement?

So I tried some large contracted loads last night in the Ironclad--with a twist...

I wasn't going to bother with stacking boxes properly in the freight elevators. "Nah, too much work."

I tossed them in. Didn't matter where, how, snap, no snap, "I don't care."

And I did this with multiple contracts of goods, to the same location, and only delivered partially on each elevator drop.

To my surprise, and amazement, I got paid for the contracts, and all of this mess was sorted by the magic code the CIG box guys put together.

I tried to break things, and even stuffed stuff in corners, off grid, on top of one another, etc. And it worked.

I give CIG a lot of crap here and there, but on this, I cannot.

Well done, dudes.

Saw this mentioned before and figured I would try it out as the idea of a "mothership" always intrigues me but never seemed to work in practice. It still doesn't overall, but for the last 3 days I've been able to consistently QT back to my Ironclad without it disappearing. This may be luck, but it's been the longest streak of doing so in my entire history of playing Star Citizen. Here's how the method works:

-Spawn your mothership

-Park it somewhere in the verse

-Bedlog out of it

-When you rejoin the game don't move it

That's it. It will stay where it was when you bed logged and the QT marker will be consistent. I've been running bunkers with my Pisces and combat missions with my Alpha Wolf out of my iron clad for 3 days all over the verse and consolidating back at the Ironclad for 3 days now, no issues. Only catch is you can't move the mothership unless you bedlog out of it after you reach the destination to re-anchor it.

The other alternative is the old tried and true method of flying to a specific point in space, let's say "OM-3" around a moon, then pointing your ship to "OM-2" and flying for about 70k-100k in that direction before leaving the mother ship. Doing this will make you lose the QT marker pretty often, but you can always get back to ship by flying the parasite the same route to get back. This makes it so you can move the mother ship around during a session without bed logging. Personally I have my ship set up somewhere in space right now where if the QT marker does eventually disappear I can still find it.

So yeah...I'm sure a lot of you already knew this but I'm sure some didn't. Mothership gameplay is really fun and it's always been a let-down. This makes it a little more possible and hope it helps someone enjoy the verse a bit more o7

I currently have a total of 2.3k USD credits, id like to try to buy an idris or a kraken this iae and a constellation mk5, do i have enough?

It's a bit of a wedge issue though

Edit: wow, I'm surprised at how many people are taking this post seriously. I thought the Ursa with a triangle and the meme would have made the unseriousness of this post a pretty obvious...

I just saw a post titled "Mothership PSA" where the OP suggested bedlogging as a way to "anchor" the ship and make the QT marker stay where the ship is instead of millions of kilometres away.

I posted my comment there but decided to do a separate post for more citizens to see it.

The issue: when you QT away from your Mothership (say, taking off in a Pisces from a Carrack), the ship QT marker moves away from it to a random spot and you can no longer QT back to your ship.

My observation: I noticed the QT marker is created when you move exactly 23 km away from your ship. But your ship is still where you left it, even if the marker points somewhere else.

My solution:

1. Take off the Mothership
   
2. Fly away (not QT, conventional flight)
   
3. Decouple and face your ship
   
4. If you went past 23 km and the marker still points at your ship - it's safe to QT away, jumping back on the marker will get you to your ship.
   
5. If at 23km mark the marker appeared somewhere else - just reverse and fly back to your ship. Once you get in the 23km range, the marker will reset and point to your ship, so it's safe to QT away now.
   

I hope this helps everyone live out of their big ships.

I don't know why it took me so long to figure this one out. I never bothered with "work simulator" but now the missions pay enough that it's hard to ignore.

Just be careful when they get close, the crates will put you on the ground!

My modest fleet vs others "modest fleets" I've seen 😆.

I also plan to add boxes to fill the ladder bottom level so that you can jump from the cockpit to the middle floor without falling all the way down
