You guys with your 7-Strings are making me jealous 
I dumped a lot of my guitars years ago and have just mainted an acoustic + 6 String 24 fret guitar combo for a while now. I reallly want a 7 string though on day.
First implementation will probably just be a golf-swing anyway, right?

Yes. Hit every note on the beat within a certain range on the meter or else your note will sound sharp or flat and displease the audience. Displease them too much and the pirates in the audience will draw their firearms on you.

and/or space you.
Nothing fancy for me, Cordoba classical, seagull S6 and an Epiphone electric
That facial animation stuff sounds insane.
Those two Sean Tracy vids are dope.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
With the Polaris about to hit, here is a quick reminder on what the "Vanduul" Corvette it has to stack up against looks like and specs out at.

And, that makes me the third 7 string owner in this thread. Ibanez custom shop 7 string signed by Head of Korn. Won it in a contest.
But, back on topic, I have a huge fleet of ships at this point, but haven't messed with 2.5 much. Will probably get back in with the next release.

Thanks!

It's a custom-spec 7 by Skervesen
I'll stop off-topic'ing now, I promise.
Me too XD
Freelancers are great ships, should serve you well!

Any chance for a 2.6 PTU release after the show?

It truly is amazing the lengths people will go to root out "conspiracies".
So how finished / polished do you reckon the S42 mission playthrough is going to be on Sunday? Do you think we're going to see a proper story mission (maybe just a part of it, if it's a long one) ... or are they going to show a vertical slice type of conglomerate, something that serves as a proof of concept more than anything. Obviously with S42 specific stuff on show, such as ships, characters and locations, otherwise it doesn't really make sense classifying it as a S42 mission.
I doubt it. I think it needs a bit more time in the oven, but you never know.
Perhaps a mission from early game.So how finished / polished do you reckon the S42 mission playthrough is going to be on Sunday?

We know all missions can be played through, but they do not want to spoil the story.
If this ever turns out to be a real scam, it has to be the best damn scam ever, or BDSE to call it.

I really am on the fence about the polaris. They are gonna have to sell me on this come the 10th.

I wouldn't mind playing pool for credits in any of the landing zones. it seems like an easy thing they can implement in 2.6 if they wanted to right?
or playing for ships =P

Polaris just went on sale for "VIPs".
Here's what it looks like:
Looks kind of like the Anaconda from Elite.
But I'm probably looking at it from the very shallow standpoint of basic geometric shape.

Important note to mention, store credits disabled for sale. I hope no VIPS melted limited stuff in anticipation for this.
I don't know. I am not quite liking the look of this. Or the details.
At a glance I can see how that springs to mind.

Well, it's not as bad as it looks. It says on the page: "The regular Polaris sale on Sunday will allow for store credit purchases."
So you will be able to buy it with store credit, but not at its discounted price.
Got the email for the presale, when I first got to the page the issuing serial numbers were still 001-100, but I can't afford it and watching those numbers quickly rise is killing me inside.

Yeah I just don't see myself purchasing this ship outright. Maybe melt a few to get one. But nothing is driving me to get this.
Not like the first time I saw the Retaliator. No love at first sight.

If you look closely, it seems like most the furnishings are able to retract flush into the floors. Pretty cool if that is the case.

What role does something like this serve in the sc universe? Battle only? Exploration? It has some weaponry on it that looks intense and can basically repair, rearm and refuel a smaller ship but this sounds like something that has a place in Squadron 42. I am wondering what the gameplay loop is in SC.
If issuing SN's are to believed it has sold over 900 already? Wow.
Edit: since we are posting pictures..

I'm inclined to agree with you. But it's fulfilling the original role of the Idris...
Ok then, I got a question guys. When I pledged $250 during the Kickstarter I told myself that was all I was ever going to spend on this game, but as the game has expanded in scale and scope I find myself struggling to keep that mentality lately.
I can't afford dropping ridiculous amounts of money into this game, but I do want to start with one of the best ships for making UEC, so I'm able to earn other ships faster and easier. Do you think my best bet would be the Endeavor? I'd upgrade my Andromeda to the Discovery-class, which would cost $200. Not sure how well I'd be able to make UEC at first with it by itself, as I'll probably be playing solo a lot of time. My immediate goal would be to purchase the landing bay module, as well as two ships that will fit in it and synergize well together like the Terrapin and Prospector. The combination of these three ships should allow me to effeciently make money even when playing by myself and without AI. The playstyle would be this: Park the Endeavor in high-sec space (preferably next to a UEE station), go out and explore/gather data in the Terrapin, come back and take the Prospector out to mine locations you found with the Terrapin, come back to sell the info gathered by the Terrapin, analyze/enhance the minerals you mined with the Prospector and do other research and experiments all while your Endeavor is hauling the cargo you collected (salvage/raw minerals) en route to a buyer. This allows you to multitask professions with relatively low risk and you're capable of doing it all by yourself. I think this is a great idea.The other option I'm thinking of is upgrading to a Carrack. It's cheaper, has everything I want already included and I do want to explore, but since I'm relying solely on the exploration profession I'm not sure how profitable it will be.
What are your thoughts on this? Appreciate it.

That Constellation being blown up in the background.
I hope the Polaris isn't just a bigger, better Constellation Andromeda.

Saw the email. Clicked through, saw the discount. Thought to myself, "well maybe it's worth it to melt something for that much off". Then I noticed the no store credit stipulation. For shits and giggles I tried to see if my 10% off coupon stacked on it - no go. Back to a "nope" ship for me. Not really a fan of the design anyhow. Looks like one of the early Python concepts from Elite, and oddly out of place in SC.
More power to the people that want one (and there seems to be quite a number), but as expected, I can't think of a use case for it where it would be better than anything I have already.

Sounds like a plan but tis a very large ship with only 2 unmanned turrets. Neither the terrapin or the prospector is suited for fighting. You may make some cash quick, but you also may be a big moving target for pirates and any other player that wants to try out some boarding mechanic or simply attack another ship.
EDIT: But if a Terrapin can fit in a Polaris, that may have givven me a reason to invest in ship. Thanks for the idea.

I don't plan on ever leaving monitored space in my Endeavor unless I have a full crew and a few escorts, which I probably wouldn't attempt for a long time. From what we know so far, Kilian is the safest system in the UEE, so my Endeavor will probably be there most of the time. It has 14 planets so there are plenty of opportunities, and If I park it and leave it right next to the UEE Navy's home base I don't think any pirates besides a large organized fleet wouldn't even dare try anything. The only risk is losing my Terrapin or Prospector if I decide to venture out into deep space, but I wouldn't keep any of my valuable cargo on board them. That is why I'm really liking this idea. I have the potential to generate a lot of income multitasking multiple professions in one venture, and the risks aren't too high or even costly.
