I just wanted to comment that I both upvoted this and hate you.

8700k/3080tI/64gigs of RAM. lol, I need to upgrade my processor but she’s solid enough to handle the game even with my G9.

I’ve /thought/ about the eye tracking stuff but haven’t looked into it yet. Given that I consider the G9 basically on the edge of VR (my monitor wraps around my head vs wrapping around my eyes) that may be something to look into. Also I’ve thought about getting at throttle. I use an ergo setup? Logi MX ergo - which I oddly really love for spaceship control vs a “normal” mouse, but I’ve really been on the edge of getting a throttle just for that last little bit of control. Especially if you’re making Cargo drops over and over again and landing on moons all the time.

But yeah…I haven’t quite pulled the trigger on the eye stuff but that’s mostly because I’m currently not in SC atm (waiting for a couple things to come online for my gameplay loop and have other “toys” to buy on the backend [-.- and a CC to get down after the toys I buy -,-])

The big thing, if you’re trying to get into SC though, is the RAM. You /need/ at least 32. 16 is technically playable but upping to 32 (SC runs on my laptop too which has 32RAM) makes a huge difference. That and having it installed on an SSD.

I’ve played and am a Concierge level supporter. And one who’s waiting for the nascent /m/agazine to kickstart itself to life (among a few others filled with tumbleweeds and sadness :( )

I love the game. I find it highly immersive. And oddly calming - I’m a trader and running the shipping routes with the sound of quantum quietly thrumming in my ears is soothing in a way that listening to the ocean is. That being said I’m not playing atm but that’s mostly because trading has been bad for a while and I’m waiting for improvements. I’m waiting for the Railen (I feel like that’s going to be my primary ship once it launches) and I’m waiting for Pyro - because I feel like with a new system we’ll have more trading outposts and that should hopefully help balance out things.

Also what I’m very keen to see is the introduction of NPCs on ships. I’ve been toying with the thought for a while but it will drastically change the balance of the verse once any and all ships can hire on NPCs to man previously abandoned Turrets.

What will be really interesting, at least to me, will be the Connie. Dangerous enough on her own, if you can hire three NPCs (one per turret and one for the snub) she’ll be an incredible pocket-carrier/force multiplier in a “relatively” small package.

lol, so yeah. That’s what I’m interested in. But I really want to get my hands on the Railen. The interior picture of it is literally my work laptop background.
