Citadel Space

So, slowly, as the ships accumulate, I am struggling.

For starters, I'm guessing I over committed, given that I am going to upgrade my PC over the next few months, so hard decisions will need to me made which will see me hemorrhaging ships over the coming months...

So here is what I am sitting on, and where my feelings are strongest...

Serious Love!

*** Colonel LTI (Physical) with SuperHornet Upgrade Applied - Will use for escort / combat and hunt & kill missions.
*** Starfarer LTI (Ship Only) (Trading/Fuel Collection plan - I intend to add a refinery module and a cargo module and swap between them). No Interest in the Gemini option.

Very Cool but just not sure..

** Advanced Hunter LTI - Mmmmmm.... Avenger... Yummy. Also hard to get now..
** Origin 350r - Always Loved this ship's sleek looks..
** Freelancer LTI (Physical) - I can't wait for the variants! I almost love this enough to flag it with ***...
** Xi'an Scount Khartu LTI - Nice - very nice!

Edit : (Also need a cheap ship to let my wife play Thinking a 300i or Aurora/Mustang, so that will be something extra I have to get..

So the plan is to maybe keep 4 ships at the end before release, with one of them also going toward the new Mining Ship, which I am pretty keen on and the rest to a good Video Card. (Going for the R9 290 modified, probably Asus --> http://techreport.com/news/25746/asus-t ... -ii-cooler)

Or have I just answered my own question, and the plan will be to keep the Freelancer? What would you do any why?

Just reading through the ship specs and intended uses, I'm partial to the Freelancer pre-game. I of course will wait and buy it later, but I'm really looking forward to it for some reason if for nothing else but salivation.

If you get rid of the scout let me know, wouldn't mind getting one and I am getting close to fixing my personal cash flow issues.

I'll see how I go.

I am plotting and scheming for a way to score a new Video Card for my Computer without having to lose any ships to pay for the upgrade - don't worry, it does not involve Armed Robbery.

There is a computer magazine which has a feature where they invite readers to submit a picture of their current PC, and tell them a little about it. If yours get picked, you win a prize.

As well as winning, I'm aiming for creating some publicity for Star Citizen while I'm at it. I'll let you all know if I win and my scheme pays of!

Here's my submission :



Four Most Impressive Features

1. Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1 and Audio Technica ATH AD700x headphones
2. Full CH Stick Setup!!!!
3. Three Screens!
4. Intel 335 Series 180GB SSD

Last Upgrade

My last upgrade was changing my motherboard to a MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Motherboard and a shiny new i5-4670K processor, which should tide me over for a long time!

Dream Upgrade

My beloved XFX HD 6870 is not coping anymore with today's games, and I have to disable two of my screens for gaming to get reasonable FPS, so my dream upgrade would be Video Card to enjoy being able to look side to side properly when the dogfighting module is released for Star Citizen, or maybe a Track IR!

Favourite Feature

Though it took me many years to put together, I focused on getting only one thing at a time and making sure I would love it - so the way I can play, with all the parts working for me allows for crazy immersion!

Why so special

My PC has taken me to some amazing worlds, Jungles, Exotic historical forays, on Empire building stints across the Caribbean (Thanks Tropico!) and the world (Thanks Civ!) and MOST IMPORTANTLY with the rebirth of the Spacesim genre (Thanks Chris Roberts/Willy Wonka!), will take me back to relive my childhood among the stars! (Right screen my scary virtual spaceship purchases)

I am extremely jealous of your triple monitor setup, it looks amazing. I hope you win and get a new graphics card!
