Don't get too excited when you hit King rank.
I got it the other week, got the mail in game announcing the promotion and....
It's not animated any more, not even an image in the mail.
Fairly sure the ones below Prince where. Perhaps bug /shrug.

The Empire ranks have never been animated for me; just the one's from the Pilots Federation unfortunately. Hopefully, at some point in the future, it will turn into some sort ceremony; in Frontier at least you got a special piece of music!
 
Another trailer spotted & it has a few interesting things.


Also, never been that fussed about planets. Relatively smooth with pebbles & the odd crater, but this image would have me heading to planets a hell of a lot more if they looked like that!

Hmm, perhaps I've got them mixed up with something else. Fairly sure it was those though.
Old age strikes again :p

Looks good and also not overly fussed about planetary landings (they are pretty much all the same), although I am on a long trek into deep space, I do at times go down to the surface to have a drive about for fun. I am sure they nicked that sound from War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version) but glad they did, as it is pretty awesome!

War of the worlds....Tom Cruise? There was no such thing! :eek:
(I'm still blocking it out, or as much as I can. The original one is infinitely better!") :D

Even something like this I would think would be good to see.

Guess I better dive in & hope it'll let me land instead of just serving me connection errors! If I have to I'll switch to the mining CG & have my kit shipped down there!

I mined a ton of that samwtf it was called at first planets rings in the system, got it on third rock I picked, so worth heading there.
 
After awhile of connection errors I filed the bug reports then just switched to solo & picked up a relic then sold it; it was marked as the CG being completed so hopefully a shiny new decal will be on its way :)
 
Quick Engineering question - running three large MC on my Python and will be engineering them all in due course with overcharging. Am going to pick corrosive special effect on my underside MC, but once I have a ship's shield down and hit the hull with the corrosive ammo, does the 25% debuff in the ships armour only apply to bullets fired from THAT cannon or all cannons? I have read that the debuff doesn't stack (so its 25% debuff regardless of how many MC's are hitting it with corrosive) but still a bit unclear on my main point.
 
I'm looking to explore mining, but unsure which ship to choose. I've got the cash for a Lakon Keelback or a Cobra Mk IV. I may have the cash for an Asp (which generally seems a step up in class) though this may be B/C/D grade components.

Any recommended ships or builds for mining?

Bear in mind an Asp is my upper limit re. cost, and I don't have high ranks anywhere...

I've a few ships, but none are really set up for proper mining full time, just rare occassion, but there's a sub reddit that may help you out.
