@Raumarik Did you notice a big leap in performance in SC when you changed to the 78003D from whatever you had before? I am holding off until the next chips before I change as the 7700x was always supposed to be until the 3d ones came out.

It's an improvement, but I don't think it's worth the trouble of upgrading tbh. I'm on a 7700x too btw.

Right sorry @MadMossy I thought you could use the code at the time of purchasing a pledge but it is for new registrations. I don't want to get a new account as I like my callname (Imperatore) and also I just saw they have some sub thing called Imperator so that fits nicely. Does the callname have any bearing in game or can you choose a different one?

I went from a Threadripper 2950x and 1080ti to the 7800X3D and 7900XTX. I don't think the CPU helped as much as the GPU though. Both had 32GB of decent RAM. CPU maybe helps but think it'll come down to whether your CPU or GPU is causing the bottleneck, it was likely the GPU in my case.

CPU usage in game at 3440x1440 now is generally around 50-60% max, where as the GPU is from 80% to 100% depending on where I am. I get anything from around 65-70FPS up to 160FPS in really constricted areas.
 
Thought I'd fire it up again having been cruelly killed whilst doing my very first mission (well, my ship was destroyed and I died to hydration loss eventually...) a few years ago.

What a difference. The frame rate is actually playable now. There's also a tutorial so I could work out what I'm supposed to do again.

The only down side is that I took on a bounty mission as it seemed to pop up in the tutorial. But having found the bounty he was not alone and they destroyed me.

Is there a nice guide for ship fighting? I thought I was pretty good in Elite but that was more world war 2 flight dynamics and using HOTAS. I was using mouse and keyboard for SC.

I recently started playing again after a long break, the tutorial was very useful.
Would suggest doing cargo runs for a while until you get yourself some spare cash, heavy armor, SMG and maybe 40 mags of ammo, load up on LUX (food/drink) and med pens if you want to do any combat and take it slow, very slow as you are solo.
I tend to avoid combat missions unless I'm with someone, being able to be revived from downed can save you 30mins of messing about.

I'm finding the cargo delivery missions good for getting to know the system again.

Combat - try arena commander mode if you want to learn, you can pick the same ship as you use in the multiplayer and not care about dying that way!

You can easily just buy it in game, making money is a lot easier now with the variety of missions available.

Or just ask Humbug if you see him in game, he's basically OCUK sugar daddy.

I can contest to this!! Got a few million ready to buy a ship next time on if a wipe doesn't take it away before I get chance lol!

What joysticks do you have or plan to get?

Deffo virpils alpha or prime, just a bit confused on bases with some saying the CM3 is good for your throttle stick and the WARBRD-D for the flight stick. Also they were on sale a few weeks back so I wouldn't buy them until such a time again.
I think I said to you prime over alpha because I liked the all metal construction but now I am not sure if it's really worth the premium.

Do you need some in game cash @Noxia ? i've got plenty....

No I don't have the game yet as I was advised to hold off for the free weekend, but thank you. I may give you a shout but if I don't have things to work towards (like buying ships) then I tend to get bored :)
