  • PC upgrade

    hmm, it explains few things, thx!. But I will definitelly need to check pc case dimensions first, because that cooler you have seems is really huge :bcrying:

  • PC upgrade

    SilentiumPC Fera 3 HE1224 v2 should handle 180W, is still available in local shops (middle priced coolers with good reviews). I hit roof regularly with old CPU so yes, I want to get better one. I also do not intend to overclock it (never liked do it), so I hope cooling will be ok. What I'm not so completely sure is power source which I have ... it works with setup above perfectly well and stable, but dunno how to check power needs for new CPU. Is obvious that I will need new PS when will do graphic card upgrade sometime in the future, but for now I would rather like to avoid such step.

  • PC upgrade

    I know that it is little necroposting :toocool: ... but in last few weeks I was thinking if to upgrade CPU from Intel Core i5-8400 to Intel Core i9-9900KF (which is available in local shops for 330-355 € and should be compatible with MB). Dunno if it is good idea or not .. see note below.


    Actual PC:

    • MB MSI Z370 TOMAHAWK, s.1151 (with latest bios 04/2021)
    • PS Seasonic Energy Knight SS-500ET, T3 500W
    • CPU INTEL Core i5-8400 (2.8GHz, 9MB, 6c) LGA1151 Coffee_Lake, 65W
    • CPU Silentium PC Fera 3 HE1224 v2, 120mm fan
    • DIMM Kingston HyperX Predator_DDR4 16GB (Kit 2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 DIMM 1.35V
    • MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G, 8GB GDDR5
    • HD SAMSUNG SSD 960 EVO MZ-V6E250, 250GB + Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB MZ-V7E500BW + one older classic 7200 RPM HDD (think 500 GB)
    • playing in 1080p - ProLite E2483HS monitor 24''

    Note: with latest DLC for ED I saw that my CPU is also going to its max and adding more performance may be good ... I know that main gaming performance gain is coming from GPU, but with current prices it is absolute no go :(

  • Ship upgrades - Blackstar

    Turrets with stats allowing match with more 10lvl weps as only guardian cannon. There however could be better to have for these turrets lower (also?) lvl, if I remember it right, there is more ships with turrets mount lvl7 and higher.


    Btw … imo the best would be to have special loot (3-4 of special commodity/debris) from black star fleet fighting which will allow produce variety of special equipment in clan bases.

  • Clan bases

    Is it difficult to discuss this matter with OP privately? 500 eur for currently set rent is enough to have covered 50 months (more as 4 years).

  • lost group

    I think it means that mission failed and therefore NPCs use your char reputation stance to show as friendly/neutral/allied. When you accept mission, then targets will always be hostile (red) to you, no matter if your normal reputation is not hostile at that moment.

  • Clan bases

    Please correct me if I see it wrong: rent for SoS was unpaid for last five months. There was already for quite some time ongoing discussion about systems renting and was clearly obvious that time is coming when final decision will be made. Clan base in SoS was disabled and rightfully so. It's still nothing serious if clan decide to restore payments. Base was already reenabled for two clans. If clan decided to cease paying rent, then base stay disabled. If you have problem with that, please solve it privately with Op. There is not a need to start flames or something like that on forum ...

  • lost group

    Quote from kyr

    after a death from npc i lost group and all ships friendly and not are shown white colored. I can't see enemy in red as before!

    Greetings, can you please be more specific if it is issue in single player, or single player campaign or in multiplayer? In case of 2nd, is it during some concrete mission? And what npcs it were? (Nomads?)

  • Clan bases

    I will look on things and update wiki with info about renting etc. It may help new people oriente much easier and shouldn't be too difficult.


    Even if this is sad thing for me with TSH clan, there was long time overdue fair dealing between those supporting server costs and those who don't.


    And one last thing which I want add to this subject is, that there was always possible discuss privately with OP if serious RL things happened and resulted in troubles with rent pay.

  • Clan bases

    Easiest way (which worked in numerous others cases too), is use ticket system. That one is ideal for ask changes in places which have restricted access. Btw, I did not followed much closely discussion about renting systems (you know, I play other games for years now), but I checked it now and it looks solid.

  • Questions, Discussions and Suggestions Mod Crossfire!

    I've little bit updated info about mining. CF mod have for trading and commodities hauling few differences to the vanilla Freelancer. There is now also link to wiki part listing all mineable commodities. It were good old times when we regularly did mining operations ... :)


    ... Coming to Outpost Epsilon in Enyo System from Alien Organism mining operation (in Telosis) ...


    And I found also one image reference to Megaroids mining ...

  • Movies I want to watch immediately!

    Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

    The new one from 2021 does a good CGI job but fails at pretty much everything else.

    I think it sums it perfectly. To be honest, after I've watched it, I thought that it is one from the worst movies I ever watched and huge disapointment. The biggest fail imo is concept or story in it, but maybe it is too kind to say that this thing had story at all. And added brutality was just like a cherry on cake ... I really wonder how is even possible create something so dumb, when they had at disposal really decent old template. Sigh

  • Cyberpunk 2077

    I just wanted add short info about actual state of this game. Latest big patch was 1.2 at end of the March which summary is in news here on portal: Cyberpunk 2077 - patch 1.2 - SWAT Portal


    Till today there were released two smaller updates 1.21 and 1.22 which brings further various fixes to missions and game performance. I have finished my fourth run few days ago and except some small remaining issues with temporary missing images of items in inventory, game works for me very smooth ... on a PC. There are not yet introduced any significant changes and there still remain some old problems like non-functional high lvl perks, so I expect few more months till they finish "basic" patching and can be expected new content. I still watch this game progress bcs I like much Night City environment. Can be also worth to mention that game's price lowered quite alot in local shops. I'm quite surprised that main sellers (GOG, Steam) still have the price of the game 60 euros, when it can be easily bought (with warranty) for half to two thirds of this amount.
