    I would think they would add fuel scoops as it was the peek of the week in one of the more recent newsletters but I haven't seen anything to confirm when it will be added.

    woo hoo, like the looks of some of the new stuff the newsletter is showing off. In the beta 3 section they have pics of Interdiction, mining and a couple new ships, i wonder if all are going to be in 3. The one ship showing the interdiction looks Imperial!

    Well I did find a matching GTX 660 on ebay for a steal that I will SLI. I plan to try to run the 4K rendering mode and see what happens. Just from looking at some of the data on graphics cards out there, two GTX 660s should still be quite salty in the FPS department. It seemed like the only way I would get a substantial improvement would be to move to a GTX 970, and I don't have $400 to drop on just a single video card at this point. Plus I'm not sure if I'll cause myself some kind of other bottleneck given that I'm sticking that class of card in a old Ivy Bridge Intel MB with a i5-3570K CPU, still a salty CPU, but definitely not the new kid on the block. Good thing when I originally put this system together, I planned on SLI mode and got a big enough PSU (modular 600W).

    With 2 660 I wouldn't recommend trying 4k. I have 2 780s and can only get about 35 fps when I enter a station
