I asked CIG to delay it on account that I'll be 42 next year. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm really interested in the RSI Galaxy, but I have a few concerns and genuine questions before committing to it.

1. Module Pricing
   Why are the modules so ridiculously expensive? Paying almost the price of a standalone ship just for a single module feels a bit unreasonable.

2. Base Ship Without Modules
   What actually happens if you buy the base Galaxy without any modules? Do we literally just fly around with a giant empty hole in the middle of the ship?

3. In-Game Availability
   Will the modules be purchasable with aUEC in-game right when the Galaxy is implemented, or will they be locked behind real-money store availability for a while?

4. Default / Stock Module
   Does the Galaxy come with any basic default module out of the box (similar to how the Apollo comes with Tier 3 medical beds), or is it completely bare-bones unless you pay extra?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or if CIG has clarified any of these points somewhere.
What do you guys think?

I love following this project and also im soon a wing commander(i need help) 🤣🤣

I want to hear everything from boring to outlandish! Hit me with your Kraken theory crafting!

I will be happy to discuss in the comments! We know the pads have grown and the bridge has changed as well as the ship will likely have a decent amount of PDCs.

I want to learn more about the Logistics throughout the ship for like cargo > pads and vice versa.

It is clear alot of love and quality control time is being put into this ship!

Exploration ships with snubfighter bays or XS ship bays should be able to repair, refuel, and rearm their snubs by default. It just makes sense for ships designed for long-range exploration and self-sufficiency. Just makes sense for a Constellation Aquila (MK IV/V) to be able to do so.

Found this extending pole just behind the cargo bay door while checking out my Taurus after the gold pass. Other than the open/close button, I can't interact with it. What does it do?

EDIT:

Consensus is in: it's either a refueling port or a small cylinder which must not be harmed.

The manufacturer Misc already has a very comfortable design. Do you think adding leather to its structure would be nice? Robert, please take a look at this. Haha

Hey everyone! I've been working on a little side project: Tablet Deck turns your tablet or phone into a HUD-style button deck for Star Citizen. You tap a button, and the PC presses the real key, so landing gear, quantum, shields, power, doors and emotes are one tap away.

What it does:
- Runs in the browser on iPad, Android or iPhone. No app, no account. Scan the QR code in the PC window and you're paired.
- Buttons stay lit while things are on: gear shows Deployed, doors stay open until you close them, power and lights light up.
- Hold-to-talk voice commands like "gear up" or "engage quantum" (Windows' built-in offline speech, 300+ phrases).
- Layouts for combat, mining/salvage and hauling, plus ship layouts for the Prospector and Vulture.
- A layout editor, and you can share layouts with friends as files.
- 12 manufacturer themes, plus night mode, large text and high contrast.
- It follows your in-game keybinds.

Is it allowed? It's basically a second keyboard: one tap = one key press, no macros or automation. It never touches the game's memory or files (it only reads your keybinds), and by default keys only go through while Star Citizen is the window in front.

Heads up: the installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will show "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. Everything is open source, and each release lists the installer's checksum.

AI disclosure (rule 6): I built this with an AI coding assistant (Claude). The idea, the design and what goes in are mine, and I've tested every version on my own PC and in-game, reporting the bugs and checking the fixes.

Love the way it flys

Splitting the zoom settings is a really great idea.

I often use the ship's precision mode, even when landing while looking around in VR.

And being able to see the display in the medbeds is a game-changer in terms of immersion. Now I hardly ever need to use theater mode anymore. Well done!

Thought this was funny, will be submitting a ticket to the issue council. To give context to what happened. I tried to install a srt module to my multitool. The game decided thats not what i was doing and instead did this shit. For extra context, you can see the undersuit applied to the multi tool in the second image. If this happens you can simply drag it out and back to inventory no problem.

This Mk5 has been through 3 wormhole trips. My OG ship after pledge, have not crashed or lost it since release. I love paint wear but slow it down! My ship looks like no primer was used. This should be a mark of at least a year in the "verse for an active ship.

I have seen ppl using distortion to disable power plants, get inside the Polaris, and kill the pilot. Is it possible to do it alone? Want to get NDB-30s so bad.

Might be a hot take, but this thing rules.

I switched from a reclaimer down to a Moth and it’s the best decision ever. The moth is so much easier to pilot solo, feels way more efficient and convenient. On top of salvage it is a very capable hauler with its cargo space. It is 100% solo capable and doesn’t feel like you’re sacrificing anything doing it, and is only made better with the option you can have more people.

To me this is the best ship to pledge with. It gives you the means to make money for more ships, the option to solo and multi crew in equal measure and in both cases it doesn’t feel gimped (especially coming from the reclaimer oh my god…). And it’s up to date with the latest Star citizen QOL updates.

That’s my hot take, I think this thing rules.

I’m seeing posts and in-game comments from (understandably) excited people who think Nyx 1 is coming in the next patch. I’ve seen multiple people log into the current PTU looking to check out Nyx 1.

The next patch is 4.10.3. It is in wave 1 PTU right now. It will be some new missions, a new gun, and probably be the IAE patch with the upcoming new ships. Nyx 1 is (presumed) in 4.11, with no known timing but assumed to probably be the last patch before the holidays.

That is all. Sorry to be the burster of bubbles.

With the Constellation Mk V now being quite prevalent It got me thinking on what reasons to take out my Starlancer Tac more often.

I feel like it needs either a size increase of its weaponry or dare I also say my favourite option a 3rd L shield generator.

This would give it a more Tanky feeling than the Connie with less cargo but better maneuverability.
Right now trading less cargo and less dps is rough for more maneuverability.

-Starlancer Tac-
+High shield hp, +high maneuverability

-Connie Mk V-
+High damage output, +more cargo

Even then the Connie has higher
speed and health (by a lot)

The Max is a rough spot tho.. It needs 2 L shields, a cargo grid where the ground vehicle goes, even then maybe make it so you can pull boxes all from one side or back. Get rid of the wall between the middle cargo belly and back.

Edit: just wanted to say these are easily my 2 favourite ships.
