Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antennae.

But it would be silly otherwise, as it would mean that people would just automatically go to the winning team to make sure they get the money. Any kind of community goal like this would become totally one-sided in a matter of hours.

So, I couldn't find this info, will people who fought for CSG still get rewards despite losing?

The prequel, Elite: Mostly Harmless, will be the best one.

The link you posted says the opposite, it's 2 small and 2 medium. If you had all A rated on a Viper you'd have serious power problems.

Atmosphere would make little difference in this case, the air friction wouldn't be enough to make your rotation synch up with the station like that so fast.

From a purely technical point of view this seems good as it allows new gameplay in the earlier puzzles.

On the other hand this has changed how I play the game, in SpaceChem (and Infinifactory before reading this post), I usually spent some time optimizing each puzzle before going to the next one. Now that I know the new blocks will be available it seems futile to try to optimize until I've unlocked all the the blocks, so I'm tempted to just set up sloppy solutions to move forward in the game as fast as possible, and I'm afraid I might not have the motivation to go back to the earlier puzzles later on.

Not saying it's good or bad (I'll probably still go back and optimize just to beat my friends' scores!) I just thought it was interesting to point out how this detail may change the way people play the game.

What kind of jumps can you get with the Cobra? With my empty Adder I can do 25 LY jumps, which greatly speeds up the whole process, if I switch to a Cobra would I be sacrificing transport time for more cargo space?

FruitPunchDrunk

Nice write up, tried the first route so far and the numbers match. I'm using an Adder at the moment, so limited cargo space, what would be the logical step up to it? A Type-6? Do you usually waste time/cargo space with a Fuel Scoop, or are you always able to get to your destination in one tank?

That's not so many polygons for a modern game to be honest, polygons are rarely what will lower performance on recent cards.

They should have a unique like this with "gems in this ring are linked to your other equipped ring" which would allow you to have 2 unset rings to create a 2L.

Or a unique unset ring that rolls 3 random support gem abilities linked to it (with a strong downside, like you can only wear one ring or something).

FruitPunchDrunk

No, they have already been removed as quest rewards, so even if it's from a quest you completed previously but never got the reward, IIQ won't be in your choice of gems to get anymore.
