Jump around to different planets and get encounters with Crimson Fleet ships. Take out their engines, board, and steal their ships. Just be aware that once you pay the registration fee on the ship, you'll only net maybe 2k credits upon selling it. If you're interested in stealing ships for credits, there are many more lucrative options (though you definitely could score a decent amount of contraband with the aforementioned strategy).
Yeah, I think so. I've got 40 hours in and only spent pretty much the bare minimum time in Akila which I'm pretty sure is the home base for the cowboys. While there are quests to be done and XP to be gained, I will probably leave Akila for when I start to get tired of other gameplay and want something different.
Aren't those targeted at the espresso crowd though? I looked at them when they came out and they look nice, but thought I wasn't the target demographic for some reason...
As long as I can grind 60-100g for larger batches in a Chemex or drip machine, I'm fine. I don't need to fit an entire 12oz bag in a hopper (where it's liable to get stale anyway).
I drink mostly light roasts so it seems like flat burrs might be more up my alley, with the subtle notes like floral and citrus? I used to read that conical burrs were the gold standard and that most flat burrs were poorly made, but maybe that's just at the low end? I definitely like a good mouthfeel so I don't want some thin and ultra clear tasting coffee; I'd prefer it to have some body but usually with my Aeropress method (which I really like for a punchy cup) I get some fines that add to the body anyway. Sooo.... Not sure where that leaves me!
Thanks; it does seem like the Ode is a popular option. Anything you'd recommend if I stretched the budget?
Hey all, I'm in the market for a new burr grinder. I've read good things about the Baratza Virtuoso+ and have a friend who enjoys their Virtuoso but says it's gotten less consistent over the years even with a burr replacement. It's right in the middle of my desired price range however.
I'm looking to mostly do Aeropress and V60 pourover, not espresso, but I'm not against a grinder that has more espresso options, if it's still capable of good coarser grinds. I'm also not interested in hand cranking so the grinder must have a timer/automatic setting so I can add the beans and let it grind while I work on prepping the rest of the brew.
What should I be looking at in the $200-400 USD price range?
Looks like a dreamy spot! Thanks for sharing.
