I have been playing Star Citizen on and off (I joined during 3.9), and have been enjoying it a lot so far. I am excited to interact with everyone!
I did a little bit of trading when I first started (I didn’t know trading was broken at that time), and recently I have been mining with the ROC and attempting to improve my combat skills!
I’ve been trying ROC mining an sometimes it is great other times your ship will vanish. Oh well it’s not bugs, it’s features LOL. Hope to travel with you in the 'verse.
I do a lot of PVE Bounty missions and some PVP ones when they are not hiding in GrimHex or across the solar system, not as much credits as other methods but I find it fun and is enough for what I use the credits for.
If you are up for it we can pair up and have a go at some PVP bounties.
Yeah, honestly though combat seems fun as well! I am interesting in salvaging and exploration, but we have to wait to try those! Haha
I haven’t tried too many, but I really like the cutlass(it’s great for the ROC). I haven’t tried a lot of the more specialized ships yet, but I hope I can soon!
Honesty I have never tried any mining ships, so I can only compare FPS mining and the ROC.
All in all I really enjoy it. Sometimes I wish it was easier to get in and out of the ship to mine(you have to open the doors, get in your ROC, and then drive out).
You also need to worry about external temperatures if you are on a hot/cold moon.
With the new inventory mechanic, I think you are kind of a sitting duck in the ROC, since you are defenseless and can now have your haul stolen. It may just make solo mining a little riskier.
I’m thinking of renting a prospector to try out that type of mining. I know you can get more money with the ROC, but it seems like a good idea to try them all out!
Depends a lot on the adversary, there are some great pilots out there and a lot of not so great. At the moment with the Vanduul mask event there are a lot of green pilots out there having a go, which is great! I hope once the event is over they still come out to play once in a while.
My loop at the moment is PVP then PVE Bounties then loitering around Grim Hex until someone has a go. =)
