>>128744476
Probably next patch or the one after that if they actually stick to their plans.
How do you think the first m0o corp. encounter will go down and cause CIG to change game mechanics?

It's also part of the design. They are going to reuse textures and features to give ship corporations their own style.
>>128744956
>>128744476
In what way would open world be different from what we have now?
>>128748479
Don't care. Don't have one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-purchase_rationalization
>>128748038
i think you care more about this than anyone who actually bought one. do you spend time in cod and fallout generals spasming about reused assets? or is this game special, like you
>>128751027
I'll bite. You imply that the rationalization was made post-purchase.
"Someone who buys something that I wouldn't buy must regret it, right?"
>>128751301

I wish you wouldn't.

>funny-dog-1.jpg
Craks m up evry tiem
>>128751813
The Avenger is OK, but the Hornet should beat it easily.
325A is also OK
Gladius is a bit shit right now, Freelancer has no radar, and the Andromeda should have trouble getting kills as fast as the fighters around the comm arrays.
So if i upgrade to a sabre what ship can I fly in AC?
Also how do i get LTI?
>>128753840
>So if i upgrade to a sabre what ship can I fly in AC?
Hornet, I think.
>Also how do i get LTI?
Buy a ship with it whenever CIG decide they need another quick five mill.
Or maybe next november, if they do another sale with LTI then.
>>128753840
>Also how do i get LTI?appease the hunger of the lesnecks
>why live?
It's funny watching /scg/ calling ships like Freelancer and Cutlass shit when the only thing we can compare them in is in Public Matches in AC.
The game got a far wider scope than just AC which will show that the Freelancer and Cutlass may be very good at what they do.
Ain't the Cutlass supposed to be a dirt cheap pirate ship ingame? A ship with a lot of shit just tacked together just to let pirates board and attack other ships in high numbers?
Ain't the Freelancer supposed to just be either a small freighter (Standard and DUR) with some defense or a dedicated artillery (MIS) ship which is why the view aint a priority.
It feels like everybody hates ships purely because of AC scores.
>>128748038
>ships from the same manufacturer look similar!!!!!1!!1
>>128757018
>Ain't the Freelancer supposed to just be either a small freighter (Standard and DUR) with some defense or a dedicated artillery (MIS) ship which is why the view aint a priority.
I know this is bait, but the actual, dedicated freighters have a better view than the Freelancer.
The DUR is supposed to be exploration, too. And how do you want to explore (which might include landing) when you literally can't see shit?
Just go into 3rd person?
Yeah, sure. But right there, in that instant, all the immersion goes to shit.
The view is just shit because they decided it should be shit. The two and a half acres of dashboard and windowsill serve no purpose beyond making the window smaller.
>>128757759
Cargo space currently has no function but will play a very large role in the final game. No pirate is going to get very much done from the seat of a fighter.
>>128748038
>I-it's m-manufacturer c-consistency!!
>>128748038
So is this another masterpiece from the SA think tank.
>>128757018
The Freelancer is disgusting. I'm literally never getting one just because of the ridiculous cockpit.
>>128758375
Isnt that because its not using the final damage model yet, I legit do not know because I didnt fall for the ebin pirate shep marketing the goons did.
>>128757018

>walls of the throat come together during sleep, blocking off the upper airway. Breathing stops for a period of time (generally between ten seconds and up to one minute) until the brain registers the lack of breathing or a drop in oxygen levels and sends a small wake-up call. The sleeper rouses slightly, opens the upper airway, typically snorts and gasps, then drifts back to sleep almost immediately.In most cases, the person suffering from sleep apnoea doesn’t even realise they are waking up. This pattern can repeat itself hundreds of times every night, causing fragmented sleep. This leaves the person feeling unrefreshed in the morning, with excessive daytime sleepiness, poor daytime concentration and work performance, and fatigue. Treatment for sleep apnoea relies on changes to lifestyle, including losing weight and cutting down on alcohol
Jesus fucking christ what a shit life.

Thinking about trading in my Freelancer, the cockpit is just so ass. Then again, even with clear cockpit vision you know we'll all be breaking immersion by looking around in third person, it's just so easy to sneak up on people otherwise. A real reason to trade it in would be more cargo space.

They don't seem to go up at all these days.
>>128767409
there's citizens and civilians, op paper it's supposed to work like starship troopers but in practice there's a fair bit of nepotism; higher class families and benefactors of the empire have pretty much an expectation of citizenship and write the test or whatever essentially as a formality, while some lower classes and especially people with the wrong history or family name will never manage to pass the test regardless of their score, and the cost of a citizenship test is fairly exorbitant in the first place making it beyond the means of many.
how it will work in practice we don't know yet.

>>128791853
I don't get it
I mean you'd imagine not being a citizen would have drawbacks
>>128792232
I'm sure it will, but pretty sure citizen status will be revoked if you're an outlaw. sounds like they may even have something akin to a typical faction system wherein you can only go to certain areas depending on your standing, albeit with more overlap than not. example; you'll be arrested if caught in UEE core space, but if you're a respected citizen and you wander into spider or nexus, you might get nabbed and ransomed.
>>128794012
>pirate 'team'
I hope not
>>128794436

no, pirateland will still be no holds barred pvptown with small factions vying for supremacy and backstabbing one another. it will be a very different way to play and should be interesting for many, even if only on side characters.

>>128802553

That makes no sense. Why would publishers put a negative light on the SC model?

Weapon racks, chairs, beds, showers, vents, control stations, bathrooms, and lockers are justifiable as being parts from the same manufacturer..

>>128812932
Don't know, not mine. I would say they are better if you want to use your shields and engines to the maximum.
>>128812932
The omiskies still overheat too fast to be usable. And the rail guns seem like they have too low a dps and rate of fire to be useful unless gimbaled.
>>128813274
Never liked the extra cockpit struts on the delta
>>128812932
Yes, significantly.
There is a reason they're the current meta.
Are custom loadouts working in 2.1?
I keep trying to put the Sabre's S2 guns on my Avenger, works fine on holotable but AC just gives me the shitty suckerpunch.

>>128818016
I honestly have no idea what could be going on.
Running an i7@3,4GHz (all processors run at ~50% while the game is working), a GTX760, 16GB RAM and it's installed on a fucking SSD. And 1080p as usual.
Also using that super performance user.cfg.send help ;_;
>>128818201
>GTX760
This is not a mid-tier game
People complaining about Crysis 1 running like shit made no sense either
>>128818201
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Star-Citizen-Spiel-3481/Specials/Alpha-20-Benchmarks-Test-1181415/
an "i7" is too unspecific, and a 760 is really getting on now. Can hardly blame the game for that.
>>128818342
It's not that outdated.Or is it?
>>128818383
i7 860 @2.8GHz, overclocked at, well, only 3GHz apparently. Still the game only uses half the power apparently.
>>128818616
Thats pretty fucking old, too.
The 'performance' config is tailored to CPUs. If you're using the i7 one it might be asking for hings that aren't even supported by a CPU that launched in 2009.

>>128820418
Kinda feel like the bottle panels should just be replaced with armor and struts added to the top corners.
>>128826326
Except the one that runs right through the middle of the view.
>>128826326
I really like the lower panels having at least a window to see through. Though the struts shooped on that one could use some more THICKness

Because consider the business model here. There is NO publisher. No venture capitalist. Not even investors. Just backers who are essentially donating/pre-buying/DLCing, depending on the particular game we're talking about and what backer rewards they choose.
It's easy to forget that Chris has no one on the capital side to answer to. His startup capital comes from the same well that his revenue will: gamers. At first it was purely based on marketing promises, and as we get more alpha versions it's slowly turning into customer satisfaction.
Meanwhile, how much advertising does Sandy buy? Say what you will, she's a brilliant marketer, because so far as I can tell, she's gone all-in for PR and ONLY PR, little or no advertising at all.
Now look at it from the gamer press point of view. They didn't inflate this bubble, they didn't support it, they don't stand to gain from it, and they risk losing a whole fucking lot of ad revenue if this business model gets more common. Meanwhile, they're in bed with publishers who'd dearly like to see Star Citizen fail for most of the same reasons.
Say what you will about gg and gamer culture; the scandals last year demonstrated pretty conclusively that the gaming press is corrupt to the core. They'd be nuts not to try to ruin this game; their only problem is they may not get the opportunity. In reviewing articles on the web and youtube, it seems like they're trying to do just that.
Final note: I am NOT a Star Citizen backer, and I've never played the alpha. I'm a professor in a business school who's monitoring this project and the buzz around it for scholarly reasons. I used to be a gamer; when I get time I still play now and then, but while the game looks fucking awesome on YouTube it's not MY game.
>>128807794
Haven't they done just that when they do a second or third pass of previous designs? Tear out the generic parts and revamp them to be more unique?
>>128758320
>>128803151
I'd be stunned if they didn't rework the cockpit a little more. They could move the front seats up a foot or two, remove the "ledge" to make the hull line up flush with the front window, and grow the window by a foot or so. Each is a pretty minor change on its own, but collectively should improve the field of view drastically without getting away from the "space truck" aesthetic.
>>128803875
(Still the academic from >>128827958)
>economists wet dream
Crowdfunding is absolutely an exciting business model to economists. Not because we care one way or the other (though some of us have private views on the subject). Because it's so entirely new and novel, it's a great testbed to look at how existing theory gets applied in a new context, allows us to refine or develop new theories, and gives us an exciting new source of data to base future research on.
Our whole job boils down to writing academic papers, getting them published, and then hoping people cite them. New business models (especially sexy ones prominently featured in the media) like crowdfunding are gold for accomplishing that.
>>128827958
We are getting a space sim with more than $100,000,000 invested into it if you asked me this was possible a decade ago I would've told future me this was an impossibility.
>>128827958
>I'm a professor in a business school who's monitoring this project and the buzz around it for scholarly reasons.
via 4chan?
>>128827958
Thanks Captain Conspiracy, your shitposting knows no bounds.
>PU is nothing but autistic supercruise jousting
>>128828729
heh...
Something else to consider. People consider this a more democratic fundraising effort, whatever that means.
But when you think about it, Chris and his family are pretty much the sole shareholders.
If he'd gone to VC, then there'd be maybe a half-dozen shareholders, maybe more depending on how many people own stock in the VC.
If he'd gone to a traditional publisher, a public corporation listed on a stock exchange, then he'd have thousands of owners voting on board membership and each getting a share of the profits.
So while crowdfunding may be more "democratic" (slippery word) from a creative and vision side, from an ownership/management side it's essentially a far more dictatorial approach. Which is fine. Chris can't order anyone killed, can't force you to back him, can't even keep you from playing/backing other games once you DO back him.
But for people obsessed with ownership structures (like marxists), the notion that crowdfunding is more democratic is kind of strange.
In crowdfunding's defense, what DOES become much more democratic is access to capital. Which obviously is the point. You the backer have zero official say in a given project... but you have enormous say in the sense that you make a decision about becoming a backer in the first place and for how much.
>>128828305
They said they will cut it back some. So you might get the border trim reduced a bit but not much more than that.
Plus there's still the core issue of it being a 170m/s speed cargo ship that only holds a *sixth* of the cargo that the similarly armed 155m/s speed Constellation Taurus can carry.
>>128828835
I pop in and lurk every few weeks to see the buzz. I also watch the forums, youtube videos and comments threads, and read media accounts on what's happening. My students occasionally bring SC up in class when we talk about crowdfunding.
I'm agnostic about what if anything will actually come of the game, though of course I'm hopeful that this comes to something. At this point with alpha it seems like the odds that the game will never ship at all are pretty low.
People say stuff on 4chan they'd never say IRL. The memes often start here and work their way out into the mainstream. And it's a good way to get a quick pulse of the major issues.
I played space sims in the 90s, so I'd love to see it succeed. But from my own selfish career perspective, whether it's the greatest crowdfunded game in history or the greatest crowdfunded flop in history, either way it'll garner enough attention to be work studying and publishing.
>>128828802
Venture capitalists, like hollywood, music and other fad-driven industries, are subject to cycles of taste.
I didn't doubt for a minute that we'd eventually see a comeback for space sims. What did stun me was the level of funding and the sheer scope of the project. This isn't just a space sim with a FPS bolted on. Potentially, this is a platform for producing games in all kinds of genres that all plug into the same living universe. Assuming they deliver what they've already promised, of course.
Is the Vanguard still broken in AC??
Untargettable, no damage indication, no point awards?

Ugh.
Rent 2 new Tarantula 870s to equip on my M50, try to equip them, nope, pulls them off the super hornet everytime, despire owning 5 of the fucking things, no filter for "available and NOT equipped", guess I can't have nice things.
Try to play battle royale in the m50, load into aurora ln instead... okay.
Reload game, requip tarantulas on hornet, spend 30 mins requipping the ammunition and testing in free flight before it finally accepts.
Go into battle royale, crash out.
Fuck it, didn't want to play anyway.
>>128838634
I wish actually, i'd bought in when I did and not actually bothered playing yet. Its at a state where it really sucks you in, despite all the obvious alpha flaws, makes you want to play SC and only SC, whilst actually leaving you in perpetual pain.
I need to find something else to play for 6-60 months and check back in when SC isn't just a circle-jerk of new faulty jpegs.
So how's this scam doing? Collapsed yet?

Yeah, what about it?
>>128840697
I think it is gonna take a long time for CIG to get a handle on SC. There is so much minutia of detail to be worked out let alone what needs to be currently fixed, let alone implementing all the other features/modules that they already have in development.... and then fixing all of that.
I was really hopeful when I saw the progress of 2.0 and the speed of getting 2.1 out (and the associated PU stability improvements)
- BUT -
The PU is literally a tiony test environment, as is AC. So while it shows off the prototype concept, and the currently integrated modules (flying/first peson/some test environments) - It is so far away from what the final game is promised to be (Freelancer on steroids with total persistence and freedom of action, backed with a 90% npc economy) in terms of scale and scope that it is actually gonna take for-fucking-ever to even approach it.
Atleast Squadron42 might provide some much needed spacesim diversion before then.
>>128841224
Please though CIG, prove me wrong, and make 2.2 quickly, with some much needed fixes, and the demo of the persistent economy.

People are calling the Freelancer and Cutlass shit for very specific reasons.
First, because the Freelancer has a ridiculously tiny view window. Not a single company goes "Hey, I'm going to add a solid strip of metal at the bottom of the windshield to block even more line of sight."
Second, because the retards designed the flight engine so Yaw is only determined by +x/-x moment of force rather than +z/-z, the Cutlass has horrible turning. A ship that has two widely spaced main thrusters that can fire in opposite directions should not turn as shitty as the Cutlass does.
On top of that, the Cutlass is brother to the Mustang in being utterly fucking useless once physical damage breaks something.

Right now it's totally up to the players you end up with because the NPCs supposed to drive the game are quasi in-existent and the quest are pretty repetitive BUT you can have fun in PVP or PVE with other players, we are also waiting for landing zones and a demo of the economy.It's slow but it's finally gaining speed

Offline mode and private servers have been demoted to not being considered until after "full release" which really means never, because even if they ever call a release "full" it'll be at a point where they'll say offline is then impossible like how ED did.

I love this. that means you didn't actually destroy any integral parts of the ship before killing the pilot. if tractor beams were implemented somebody could probably go and claim that hornet now. monoboating may actually become a specialized profession for killing cockpits and leaving ships relatively intact in the PU.

"Meme" seems an acceptable word substitution for "meta" especially since meta as a term seems to have come from mobas, and fuck if I want to use any of their terminology.

Tried 2.1 today, first time ive played since August.
Its still too clunky and unpolished to retain any fun beyond tech demo impressions. The open space and station visuals are pretty neat. Theres a nice spooky feeling exploring around, knowing you can fly back and forth with EVA.
Combat is still lame.
Animations are Derek tier.
Its really hard to tell how they'll progress with this. The backend tech and extra environments are a big step forward. But it feels like the basic gameplay has not improved and they've got so much work to do without having to worry about the basics.

Sadly, most gameplay elements will just be made to barely work for most of the alpha, refinements to them will be made mostly during the beta stage of development.
That's probably gonna still be a long wait, but that's why I'm not too worked up about game balance right now.

I've been a backer since very late 2013. I understand this feeling. It's the game I've always wanted, and by knowing the scope of the project, it makes it harder to want anything else right nowdespite this game being a really small 16 player sandbox for now.
Now that I can see the momentum of the project, I actually think this game might be mostly finished Q3 2017.

procedural animation? how does that work? I feel like since they denied us a height slider anyway, just having skeleton to point (stick, button, chair, etc) connections autogenerate would be fine.
>>128977226
It's like physics within animations. Each time the animation plays it will be a little different based on what's going.
If you were to swing a sword and there was an object in the way the animation would stop.
The downside is that it looks floppy and funny as fuck but also really cool.
Shadow of the colossus was mostly procedurally animated.

I think Star Citizen just killed my OS on my main system.
I was playing it for a while and then everything froze up and generated a BSOD for a page default error.
I attempted a cold reboot and my system couldn't read the hard drive (disk error). Can't even launch windows repair or anything, just a constant disk error loop.
Has anyone seen this issue reported anywhere?

>>128988829
I got the system back up. Chkdsk found no issues but I ran chkdsk/r anyway on the drive. Drive came back clean and remained accessible. I put it back in and reseated the sata and power cable. It booted up and now its back in windows. I used Revo to completely scrub Star Citizen from my system. I don't think I'm going to touch it again until it goes into beta.
>>128990469
But to add, I don't think SC is completely to blame. Reseating the sata and power connectors probably did the trick.

Open your eyes sheeple!!!
>>128993968
The main thing they need animation-wise is clean, automatic animations for moving through doorways, in and out of ships etc..
Let's say that you want to move through a small hatch, right now you walk up to the hatch, press <USE> and then wait for:
1. The hatch to open
2. The player character to climb through
3. The hatch to close
before you regain control of your character. This is clumsy and sluggish, and it would be absolutely infuriating to do this under fire or with anything at all going on.
Pressing <USE> (or whatever they replace it with) should open the hatch if it is closed, or close the hatch if it is open. That's it.
Procedural animation would come in to move through the hatch: you simply move through and it adapts the climb animation to your character and what they are holding. Holding the aim button and moving through would allow you to move through the hatch with your gun raised.
This system is a long way from what they have, and realistically it is absolutely necessary for this game to avoid the animation lock issues that plague ARMA.
Judging from their comments on the new EVA system I think that this is what they want to do, but no developers have explicitly confirmed it.
>>128997039
That is basically where they are going for most of EVA, yeah. Getting a procedural system working like that, with the way they are doing first person camera and animations is WAY WAY WAY FUCKING easier said than done though
>>128997039
this game really is shaping up to be space arma, and don't get me wrong I love arma, but it's clunkiness goes further than the sim elements in dooming it to forever niche-dom. I don't want that for star citizen, I want smooth welcoming playability, I want maximum normie saturation because I believe this is one company that will be minimally affected by that and not let the game suffer to accommodate them.
>>128997039
As long as they unlock head movement 100% of the time, I can live with it.

Fuck off, you are literally asking for the game to be casualised right there.
>>129002936
>org

>>129003007
>literally, I don't want the game to be playable
having a camera that looks where you point it and bodymeshes that don't wig out and fling into space when you try to navigate a door is not casualization. if simple player movement is a chore, a game is shit and no one wants to play it, further complexities not withstanding.
>>129005484
>bodymeshes that don't wig out and fling into space when you try to navigate a door is not casualization
No, thats called bugfixing. Not being clunky.
>>129007769
the fact remains that things as simple as doorways can be difficult to navigate in the current system, this should not be so. having your character reliably go where you direct them is not casual, it is essential. I can't imagine even the biggest arma apologist would defend the clunkiness of the shared model of movement if a superior alternative could be found.

that's all I'm getting from you. these things need to be pointed out as not okay, lest we end up with a final product wherein it has been deemed acceptable, much like arma 3, which despite being on a brand new engine is still a hot mess when it comes to basic control.

>>129024440
Stop it, you're making me hope. It does look sexy as fuck in my hangar, though.
Anyone know why the fuck a spess ship has jets and a massive wingspan?
>>129024651
Delta's stealth isn't all that great, anon.
Have you even seen the XMLs? If the Delta was capable of that you would just simply never be able to lock onto or select a Sabre at all.
>>129024741
Intakes are for collecting hydrogen fuel from interstellar medium.
Wings allow ease of flight in atmosphere for smaller ships, but are probably not required.
>>129025065
The mechanics for it are placeholder.
>>129025969
The armor for the Delta has a IR/EM/CS emission multiplier, and thats telling on how stealthy they want it to be, in terms of rough ballpark figures.
oh, and basic logic. The Mustang isn't going to outperform a dedicated stealth platform.
>>128827662
>Mass effect+Halo Wars+ Dead Space 2 visor
original design as fuck
>>129025857
I look forward to the benefits of collecting a dozen atoms per second.
They look cool but the extra thrust needed to manoeuvre that much extra mass (and the rotational inertia from the wings) is non-negligible, unless they fudge the inertia anyway.
I wonder if they'll implement hydrogen-collecting sails. Impractical, but more muh fidelity.
>>128827662
>>129026420
It looks "cool scifi" enough, but it really doesn't have a distinctive look. Just generic and forgettable.
>>129026981
Consider how utilitarian space may require
>>129025857
If I recall correctly they are not engine intakes but brake thrusters
and the wings are for atmospheric flight, altough they don't necessarily need them, they should provide enough lift to make maneuvering easier and take the directional thrusters load off

The rockets are the bread and butter of the Delta. Launch a couple at a faggot trying to make a beeline for you and collect the salt in the form of spaceship debris flying past your ship.

>>129036050
>Actually implying fixed is better
>>129036732
Possible? Yes.Easy? Yes.Should you be able to do this 5 minutes into playing for the first time? YES
>>129036772
Gimbal are for new players
There is no reason to sacrifice dps for it
Are they releasing any new star systems for the PU these next months or are we stuck on Crusader?
>>129037547
Non gimbal weapons have higher dps?
>>129037547
False.
Yes gimbals decrease DPS to balance mouse vs stick users.
But gimbals increase actual damage because the hit ratio is higher.
>>129038326
In something like a hornet maybe, not a delta or Gladius though
>>129036742
>>129036187
I doubt they will ever let the Delta field an s3 because it'll be way overpowered. It's already hitting above its price range as it is.
>>129038326
Only for shitters who can't fly for their life.
>>129038604
Jelly because your 360 controller or +500$ warthog setup cant compete with a mouse? Go play on console pleb.
>>129038326
Even in a 325a I do pretty okay. I'll have to see what it's like when I can gimbal 4 Omniskys on the Sabre vs 4xS3s.
I guess it's probably mostly down to personal preference, but I suspect I will prefer fixed for the dps.
>>129038939
Fly well and stay on target with all the fixed mounts > Fly shittly and only hitting with gimballed weapons
I'm not sure what is so hard to understand here. It doesn't even matter which control scheme you use. Looks like I struck a cord when I called you a shitter.
>>129039913
I can imagine it being easier to hit a smaller target with gimbals. If they're fighting anything connie-sized they'll probably wish they had S3s.
>>129038939
I use mouse and keyboard
Tg best builds use fixed, it's just better
>>129041741
I just can't get into the game on mouse and keyboard, it's no way near as fun
>>129038604
>hitting above its price range
I hate this argument. I agree an S3 would bring the Delta outside of its "light fighter that can't toe to military craft" description, but the "it's too cheap to be good" or "I paid too much to suck" arguments are cancerous.
>>129039913

It's $65, at that price range, it should either be fast or have a S3 shield. The Delta has neither.

>Gladius: Economy Edition
>>129038604
>It's already hitting above its price range as it is.
Nigget, this is supposed to be skill based, not ship price based, game.
Your shitter's hornet would still have advantages in durability and firepower over a delta with S3 shield, just not a power gap.
Or maybe you're a worst dynamics cuck worried about being further left behind

that's why they've been avoiding it, or part of why I'd wager. Also what are the odds armour will be non gendered as a store and inventory item, but will metamorphosize depending on who wears it, like skyrim and fallout onesies
I also fly HOTAS because its more fun. But its hard to deny that mouse is meta.
>>129059281
I just want a good variety in style, like from the glowing space latex look to the soft white onesie future, to the anachronistic semi-dystopian styles. Doing that kind of variety and then attributing the clothing to different systems and sometimes even different areas of planets would go a long way for that fidelity. Imagine walking into a small seedy club on Terra's shitty side in some outfit you picked up on Stanton on your way through and suddenly feeling very, very out of place.
On another note, it would be kind of interesting to have distinct male and female clothing lines. Like, some unisex of course, but others distinctly made for male characters and other for female.
>>129060606
seems like they are doing distinct clothing lines based on the concepts. I agree though, I want everything from skinsuits to the pirate heavy gear and all the ridiculous shit in between. they could probably justify the base body look in it's 'underwear' being a skintight full body undersuit, but I think I'd prefer that being a separate piece of gear

Yes, having missiles be almost completely useless would make the slow, fragile gunboat perform better than the ships that depend on homing missiles for a huge portion of their damage.
Same reason why the super hornet is doing so well now.

Except Horizons has been absolute shit so far. Only redeemable qualities have been the visuals and exploration, but even that gets old after a day. Although there were plenty of QoL changes, that shit was in the 1.5 patch anyway, so no need to get the expack. Along with the complete lack of content, FD somehow has bricked the fucking mission system again to where it's a complete fucking waste of time unless you're a new player. The worst part is some of the missions were actually worth doing before 1.5, and it looked like missions were actually going to be better in Horizons. Thanks Braben. Maybe once multicrew and crafting are released things will be better, but right now Horizons is a complete waste.
>>129108753

Crafting: craft underpowered garbage that helps you do boring shit!

Also, anyone know if should I bother upgrading the shields on the Avenger? I bought some gimbal mounts/longswords for the wings and some tempest IIs and I'm wondering if there's anything else I should dump REC into for upgrades.

>>129118842
They say no to the questions they don't include in the show. If they actually answered all of the questions, it would be 9 quick "no"s and one "maybe thinking about thinking about it."
Not particularly interesting.
>>129119345
>They say no to the questions they don't include in the show.
But then no one will know what the no answers are and will keep discussing and asking them
Obviously don't include the 'can we become transexual waitresses' questions
>>129118842
They said a few no in the second instalment, not absolute ones just saying they aren't going to spend an incommensurable amount of time for dumb features or non vital ones.
>>129117872
I agree, was actually a good show, despite 'clothing' being only marginally above the very bottom of my personal interest priority list for SC.
It's nice to see that the devs are injecting the same FIDELITY into clothing brands and designs as they are everything else. The whole layered approach, the [aut voice] modular design [/aut voice] etc.
>>129116417
Given how useless missiles are right now it's pretty safe to upgrade to the direct-fire Mark shields.
>>129116417
You can't upgrade the shields on any ship that uses S3 shields right now.
>>129123112
Well it's designers and writers, so you can't expect crazy stuff like having clear insights about more concrete stuff.
>>129127732
The INK you can get for RECs is better than the standard StarCat shield on the Avenger.
Or at least that's what it said on some spreadsheet somebody posted here months ago.
>>129127732
Ehh, cant even upgrade s2 shield AFAIK? Gladius has no shield in the holotable
>>129130690
Quite a few shields are practically invisible, as are the hardpoints.
But they're on there if you mouse over them, there is an audio cue you can use.
>>129124426
>>129127732
>>129129652
>>129130690
Well, shit. I'll see if I can upgrade at all. I was hoping for a bit more defense because I keep getting trashed by hornets. I suppose I need togitgud
>>129131883
>Getting hit at all
If they haven't fixed the Gladius flight model then I can forgive it. But otherwise the entire point is to avoid fire, not waste powerplant output on recharging shields rather than mav thrusters.
>>129118085
probably after the idris m8so like, probably alpha 6.66
>>129133787
The Idris is closer to done than most ships. Its the primary setting for S42, no ship has had more work on it.
>>129134465
Hopefully they're still planning on doing Capture the Idris for AC.
The hornets, cutlass, gladiator, Avenger, gladius and 300 series all had their stock shields locked, so people couldnt equip the placeholder shield unit they put in the constellation. I wouldn't expect this to be changed until they do the big overhaul of the shield system.

>>129141536
Whats wrong with the nose gun?
>>129141751
Overheats instantly, doesn't deal a lot of damage and projectile speed is terrible. At least it has so much range that you can shoot Olisar from outside the armistice zone.
>>129141915
Ouch
>>129124426
Please, don't encourage missile buffs. The last thing the game needs is to descend into lock-on missile spam = autowin bullshit, like every other game does - and thus ruins the fun entirely, (planetside2, gtaV, a myriad of other games).
I'm sure missiles will get buffs in the long run, they will probably introduce more active guidance systems (as opposed to the current passive ones) - but please... don't encourage it, buffs will come regardless, don't be part of the squeakiest wheel cunts clammoring for "more realistic modern missiles", it will RUIN gameplay if pushed too hard.
WW2 dogfighting in space should not be distilled down to 5km fire and forget missile launches.
>>129144179
>Please, don't encourage missile buffs
They need a buff. Or, rather, a method of skill-based gameplay where they are actually viable, rather than the shit we have now. Which is what I would consider a buff.
>WW2 dogfighting in space should not be distilled down to 5km fire and forget missile launches.
There are missiles with longer technical range than that in the game already.
>>129144908
Imho, you can use them effectively in their current state, they serve 2 roles.
1) harass, you fire them, and force your oponent to react to them, which sure is as simple as flare/chaff for ir/em, for cs you force evasion, and sometimes you'll force evasion anyway... regardless, you "force" "a move" all be it small, but its a use none-the-less.
2ndly, you CAN increase their hit chance substantially, particularly against jousters if you drop them a second before passing, countermeasures will do sweet dick, and the missiles will behave effectively like dumbfire rockets and smash them in the face- weirdly seems particularly effective against avengers, maybe the large profile?
I agree though, they probably deserve a minor buff of some sort, but bare in mind that stealth/em detection etc etc aren't really fully implemented, so theres a lot more systems that need to emerge before missiles can actually be effectively balanced (like msot things in the game - ballistics/shields etc)
>>129141751
They decided all gatling guns should overheat faster than anything else in the game... Even the guns that literally rapidfire bolts of heated energy.
>>129144179
I would like to use a fighter that isnt the superhornet or Delta one day... And that means I'm going to need missiles.
>>129145854
I'm sure there will be a spread of different gatlings that perform differently similar to how Mantis GT-220s have been over previous patches
I liked them when they had that insane spread. That taught you to fire in short bursts if you wanted to land good hits, or hold shit down when things are getting really close in for higher DPS panic mode. That was fun.
But right now they're utter shit in every way. I think its intentional after they were FoTP weapons.

It's rather annoying they included the gladius' gun in that nerf when it was only ever the mantis that was a problem.
>>129146107
What it actually means is that the non-Superhornet and non-Mustang-D fighters need some fucking buffs.

there was a single patch back in 0.8 era when countermeasures didn't work, and missiles were a bit OP. at every other point in time they've been shit. even then, once you figured out what the problem was, all you had to do was put a physical object between you and it, because targeting wasn't nearly to far along and they would just try to path through the rock at you and blow up.
missiles have almost always been shit if you're doing anything but jousting. in my opinion they need ones that move faster and are a little harder to shake, there should be a possibility of cm failure as well if you're really shitting out heat for example. it's easy as fuck to trump missiles currently, and I'd like them to be a little more than something that can only potentially slip through your defenses when you're completely distracted and not dodging them or dumping cm.
>>129165756
There was a point when all missiles had decent tracking ability instead of just Tempest IIs and Marksman Is, and the Rattlers actually had working clusterbombs... Then they started breaking missiles worse and worse each patch.
>>129165756
Hot guns making it harder to break missle lock is a great idea.

They're waiting to balance them when the MIS comes out. They know hornet niggers will make a fuss if they're powerful at the get go, so they need to incrementally make them better so the hornet niggers don't notice. This way, hornet niggers won't overload the forums with cries for nerfs.
>>129186007

They've got bigger fish to fry right now, like shitloads of stability and networking issues. That, alongside the fact they're cranking out as many art assets as they can to fill out Stanton, Nyx, and Terra, pretty much makes it hard for them to focus really hard on making missiles work. Hell they just released the Vanguard and its multiple small size shields don't even work in tandem so it dies just as fast if not faster than a Cutlass.

>>129186546
Its got nothing to do with the MIS or ships at all.
Missiles are shit right now because they dont currently require any skill to use. A mechanic that is hard to counter but easy to employ is not a good thing to be in the game. Gimbals at least require more input and aiming, but missiles are 99% automatic.
They'll get balanced once we have radar mechanics or skill based locking / missile control. Not before.
