Windows 10 Pro license. Best price I have found, we've bought a number of these at work and all is good. Their Microsoft Partner ID checks out fine.

A little warning to the players.... They've fixed the Zirax AI, these buggers can now shoot upwards and downwards, damage has been buffed, and they will drop you very quickly if you get surprised by them.

Sorry chaps, I dropped off to sleep in front of the tv about seven, didn't wake up until 3am, so I went to bed

Have you looked at SCAN pen? I'd trust them at the blink of an eye.  Maybe they can be a bit more flexible.

Agree about the m2 ssd, as long as cost allows it.

I use Scan for the machines I build for work, I use overclockers for my own stuff though. Never had a problem with either supplier. It also pays to check the daily and weekly deals for these sites.

Personally, I'd put an M.2 SSD in for the primary, they are blindingly fast and it really does make a huge difference to the OS performance.

Really fast server upgrade, great stuff :thumb:

Just as I manage to fix my SV’s to fly properly - they enter whole new family of big fat jets for them… and I still didn’t made a single hoover “tank-explorer” with new alpha 4 mechanics…

They also need to upgrade armor on ALL alien bases, most of them are still made in of now tinfoil ‘50’ armor. One shot from any (vessel) weapon can destroy half of building… Even alien canons can be taken-out with one precise salvo.

Indeed, I took down the Drone Base on Akua this morning using an HV arty turret. The zoom function works really well on that, and I popped it from about 600m out, but the towers suffered badly in the assault (as in, no towers left after the salvo)

They ain't cheap and they're not particularly aesthetically designed, but I would look at the Draytek range. Very solid units, designed for SOHO or SMBs.

I'd be looking at http://www.misco.co.uk/product/195283/DrayTek-Vigor-2860-VDSL-ADSL-Wireless-Router this one personally.

So, I've just been and harvested a huge amount of Sathium and upgraded my SV to hardened steel. Colourised the thing too.

So here's a quick screenie of my first proper SV and built in survival too

Yeah, I realise this. I have logged 750 hours so far in Empyrion, so I do have a decent grasp on the game

Nope, it wasn't me, I spawned into Akua, and as the post above yours, I still had a bit of a tough start. The Red/Grey ship looks smart, I've yet to try the wing blocks yet, as I was rapidly running out of ores for my build. I'm probably going to texture/colour it tonight if I don't get sucked into starting on the Ark server to get a headstart on Thursdays community play.

Once I get the SV done, I'll stick a screenie up, I'm pretty happy with it considering I normally use the workshop blueprints or build in creative and blueprint, and building in survival is a new thing.

Hi mate, welcome. We will be grouping up for some Ark this Thursday should you wish to come along

Sounds like a plan, not sure how much use I'll be though, as it'll be a new toon. I do have almost 1800 hours in ark though, so I know what I'm doing, however, I tend to like to get myself up and running and enjoy the initial hardship.

I'm Bryan, and so's my wife!

Long time gamer, starting with the ZX81. I've been through all the usual suspects (WoW, GW2, SWTOR, Wildstar etc...)

Currently playing Emyprion, ARK survival and Scorched Earth (for which I need to ask an admin for the server password I think), Elite Dangerous, Osiris New Dawn.

Bullied my way into the Empyrion server last night and made a respectable start, see my post in the Empyrion thread for the first night's tale.

I'll get myself on TS tonight and introduce myself personally.

So, after finding a post from Sparky on the Empyrion forums pimping out your server, I signed up. Finally worked out that Post #1 in the passwords list is by default on the last page (confused the life out of me...)

It was an entertaining first day on the Empy server, I spawned in and was promptly almost gang banged by 3 alien insects, several night raptors and a couple of plant monsters. This left me at level 5, but with zero ammunition left, so after I scavenged the bottom of the lake for seaweed, I started out hunting for iron/magnesium deposits, whereupon I came across an unsubdued Epsilon base that promptly blew the crap out of me and twice more while trying to retrieve my backpack.

Once this was achieved, I find myself in a promethium deposit and plonked down the survival constructor, only to see it vanish in front of my eyes! This led to a suicide pact with myself and a fresh start in order to get a new constructor. Unfortunately, the pod spawned on the opposite side of the planet to where I topped myself, in a tropical forest in the dark. Luckily though I got a new chainsaw and some biofuel, and the chainsaw does chop the spiders up pretty quickly.

After 10 minutes running around the planet, I get back to my backpack and retrieve the contents and set out to mine myself enough for a simple base inside a mountain top, complete with an enclosed underground hangar. This got me up to level 10, and I set out to build myself an SV. Finding out the blueprint system was unavailable was a bit of a blow, as I'm not terribly creative. I did however manage to create a ship that not only flies well, but doesn't look like a box with crap wings bolted on the side. I just need to texture/colour it up now.

I finished up the night by finding the mid and back sections of the MS titan, and managed to mine out all the cargo containers and quite a few of the thrusters to disassemble, which gives me the T2 drill. I then looked at the clock and found it was just past 3am, so I was a little late for work this morning

I'll get TS installed tonight and set-up. I have to admit that the server was really quiet last night, didn't see anything in chat, so maybe I was just all alone like a true survival game should be to start with.

Next plan is to get myself up to the Sathium 'roids and harden my little ship up, then it's payback time for that damn Epsilon base....
