Am I retarded or does the flight model in SC just feel a little... off somehow?

Also, maybe I'm just spoiled by the sound design in ED, but thrusters and weapons just feel weak in SC. Are they planning on rehashing the sound aspects at some point?
>>
>>164803774

it's off because they literally ripped up the old IFCS and implemented a new one which isn't remotely finished

personally I dislike flying in 2.6 overall
>>
>>164803774
TTK of SC is way, way lower.

Flight model is more space-like than E:D, which is a literal flight sim in space
>>
>general is still up and suffering

good lads, all of you

last i played, FD were about to add ship transfers so that you could send ships around without having to constantly buy Haulers to ferry you around to your ships. did they ever add that in, and is it worth reinstalling?
>>
>>164803632
separately. I rented a 325a once long ago and at the time it had a pair of mantises and another gun who's name I know not, but it was low ROF and high damage, they actually worked quite well together. it probably helped that the 300 series have a uniquely plane like flight model, so you spend most of your time lining shit up regardless, but it was handy to be able to pot shot guys who were dodging around while having the BRRRRRT on standby for when they didn't see you coming and you could line up a good volley.

>he doesn't know

>>
>>164803951
>did they ever add that in
yes, but dad complained like always, and now there's a lengthy timer before your ship finishes transferring, rendering the feature essentially useless

>is it worth reinstalling?
the only thing it's good for is scratching the space itch while waiting for SC to become enough of a game to fully replace it

yeah good luck. I can count the number of times I've gotten an actual exit animation rather than an eternal entrance animation on one finger. normally I just have to clip out and hope for the best.
>>
>>164803242
Me too in all honesty, but it's really bad right now and even if rebalanced to current standards, it doesn't have a role that isn't outclassed.

Aurora LN made out fine because despite its weaknesses as a cheap starter ship, it's actually pretty special as nothing else close to its size is going to hit that hard or carry cargo. When you upgrade from your Aurora to another ship, the new ship will be stronger overall but will be missing something. When you upgrade from Mustang, most likely you will have strictly gained and not lost anything.

E:D Horizons has been out for over a year now, did they not promise more than barren planets?

Horizons is a "season pass" with a season lasting an indefinite amount of time. However that indefinite amount of time has not equated to more content.

Planetary landings has been out for more than a year. Same deal, didn't they promise more than the same shit in different colors
>>
>>164812921
Planetary landings, rainbow weapons, and ship launched fighters has debut already. Still need to implement avatar creation, multi crew (which doesn't even fucking include the ability to fucking walk around) and some "secret" final thing. That's pretty much what they've promised for this "season".
>>

You can do passenger missions in any ship, provided you have cabins.

Is 17 Draconis still going? I thought the war was over.

>>164819863
The two factions you need to be at civil war with each other aren't right now. The main faction (Jet Bridge) is at civil war, but with another faction that doesn't have a base you can go kill skimmers at. The faction you need them to be at Civil War with (New 17 Draconis) is at Civil Unrest right now, so it could go back to Civil War, but it's pending states are Boom and Lockdown, so it'll probably be a few days at least, if at all.

So, not at this moment, but it could start working again if the BGS changes the factions' states. It has not actually been patched out, yet.

That being said, there are a ton of high-paying massacre missions being handed out, but you'll have to complete them the intended way by going to a CZ as the target faction doesn't have a base.

I got out of E:D before the abyss stared back, so I never got past a Vulture.

Can someone explain how situations like Draconis 17 happen? Is this a situation that develops on it's own or is it set up intentionally and then yanked away? Has this happened before?
>>
>>164819615
Pick that up on a planet surface? Never found anything useful for the cargo hold in the SRV.
>>
78th for best cap
>>
>>164822502
I think it happens on its own. In that particular situation, I think it was mainly just that skimmers were counting as ships, which I imagine FDev will change ASAP.

>>164821269
Well, wouldn't it be possible to push the factions right back into that situation by supporting New 17D and keeping Jet Bridge temporarily in check?

>>164826859
The "gaming community" at large are impressed with any amount of cinematics. I'm not trying to rag on ED when I say this, but from some of the shit I hear from people, it doesn't take much at all to impress them.
>>
>>164826859
While I don't love E:D, regret buying it, detest FDev, hate its playerbase, and only pop into the game after updates/happenings, I still think the game has potential. It's probably a pipe-dream, but the alien appearance makes me feel like the game is finally getting ready to get its ass in gear and become something worth playing.

I don't like the game, but I don't WANT it to be bad. I want a good, entertaining and fun space game and the pieces are all there with Elite: Dangerous. They're just scrambled and fucked up by Frontier's incompetence and their fans' straight-up fucking weirdness.

Man, sounds like some really exciting gameplay!

(alternatively you can either go and do the campaign which just gifts you a fully equipped ship for doing nothing, or download a list of extremely expensive abandoned ships strewn about the universe and go get them which just proves that the devs know how fucking boring their game is)

No. The fact that you can sustain almost any lateral G is the reason we have the 2.6 flight model. In 2.5, the meta was to side strafe at cruise speed to be much harder to hit. There is still no penalty for changing direction laterally, you just can't get up to neck snapping speeds anymore.

Not him, but the current AI for your hired co pilots is abysmal. Don't ever leave them piloting your mains ship in RES.

If not piloting what else will they do what YOU can't do yourself right now? Manage pips or plot routes? How are you going to order them without the whole thing getting more complicated than your solo experience of managing everything by yourself?

Don't you understand, sharing a mission with a payout would ruin the VISION because it's completely unrealistic that one Commander could pick up a mission and then just share it with other people while in progress and then the now multiple people who completed it are like "Yo, pay us" now to the guy who only agreed to contract one Commander. It would be totally unfair to the guy posting the mission. You're supposed to complete the mission as a group and then split the agreed upon reward however you all decide. Now I understand that this would seem less profitable than just doing the mission alone or having everyone do the mission themselves in their own ships, but it serves the VISION and your real profit from this is immersion and the deeper multi-crew gameplay of having several people on board the same piece of cheese in a 1:1 accurate milkyway galaxy with milions of copy paste stars, hundreds of millions of empty planets, repetitive gameplay in which anything fun or profitable is swiftly removed and an ayylmao cutscene

I haven't followed development.

QD is point-to-point and doesn't take too long.

Obviously, but hopefully with more difference and interest between them
>>
>>164865008
Honestly I'd be okay with a few dozen handcrafted missions (think the way WoW started doing quests from Cataclysm onwards) which pay a good amount per play session, and don't require you to stack or grind forever.
I want missions I can totally focus on, which can't be stacked and actually take my attention.

It already has huge empty void with a single planet and four moons, you can point your nose in any direction and QD off, when you drop out of QD the only things you will be able to see with your eyes is the planet Crusader and the star Stanton, once the entire stanton system is added it will be big enough to blind jump and see nothing but a dim star 10 to 70 million KM away depending on what system you're in.

>>164864628
It'll have a mix of genned and handcrafted missions, with a heavy emphasis on developers taking generated stuff and customizing it a to make it less uniform. One of the perks of having a smaller(~100 star systems, ~400 planets ~1000 moons and a shitload of POIs) is that everything can actually get some direct human attention as its being made. Most places will have something to do besides mine it for minerals most places will have some level of inhabitation, and anywhere uninhabited is going to eventually be a target for player colonization.

>>164864705
They are trying, but yeah I have some faith that chris knows what they want and knows it will ruin the "game" part of star citizen. Also I have faith in chris's certifiable and visible autism regarding stuff like immersion and rule of cool. "Realism" is less of a rule and more of a guideline. The real rule is "Fidelity" in the sense of making it look good and giving it a slightly more practical and probable "Star Wars" feel.

Heya, I was thinking of hitting myself in the face with a shovel as I think it'll be something enjoyable to make room for my rutabagas. However, I was curious what people use to plant with. Round point, square point, drain spade, clean out shovel, which one is recommended? And if it's round point what handle/material is preferable?

Thanks in advance!

The best definition of a dads I saw in those thread,

>>164859556 >>164863972
It's not so much dads wanting NPC (piratedad don't want them) than common sense kicking in for FDev, they know E:D will never have enough players available to fill seat (legs when?) anytime, the game is so slow and grindy that it would be a downgrade, only one player would be experiencing fu-VISION while the other would be wasting time not working on his ship.
Too soon to talk for SC (forever) but as long as CR is at the helm the game is made like a Freelancer free-roaming game (except FPS) with added seat & minigame to keep your friends busy until they help you do solo quests (it's player centric).
Both game will be stuck with npc-crew by necessity (and no one care)

>>164898402
>Joysticks, Controllers, M+KB, which one is recommended? And if it's Joysticks, which model/setup is preferable?
Depend of who you ask, on the SC forum some guys would like to kill what they call the "arcade gameplay" of MKB so they stop sucking with joystick.
For ED the double stick setup seem to work well enough

Please stop using the word "dad" as an insult. I've seen too many people use too many retarded definitions to fit their own limited understanding of gaming, and often are polar opposites.

I get called a dad for wanting no grind. The original term in here was used to describe the people in E:D who voted against convenient ship transfers, i.e. they wanted it to take longer and be tedious.

It's pretty much understood by this point who the dads are and what stupid shit they think is good game design. They actively dislike QOL features, they enjoy space trucking for hours a day, and they think ED being a second job is A-okay.

You probably got called a dad by our resident false-flagger. He called me one for being furious regarding ship transfers turning useless.

there's also multiple powertrip autist who want SC to let them kill players "for real" with no respawn or npc wall to stop them

I find Panthers are awesome for smaller craft but suck at killing bigger ships while I find the scatter cannons are great for larger ships but seem to only do damage around the cockpit area making them more difficult to use but still great.


Are there any ballistics that are good middle ground of powerful with a decent ROF.

One possible thing I see some people do is play ED.

ED actually sucks out all of the fun you would expect from a game that it literally leaves you dried out and almost dead inside.

EVERYTHING is fun after you have played ED. It's like your body is malnurished on just unfun stuff.

Think of it, 1-1.5 years of ED playing and even if SC 3.0 just gives us a minor bug-fix, it will be super fun.

No one but dad understands dad.

Not only is his belief that all players who engage in PvP are literally sociopaths in real life baffling, but his staunch aversion to any and all multiplayer interactions of any kind is equally mysterious.

My theory is that dad is an aging autist from a bygone era when vidyuh were simplistic, single-player, lacked modern QoL features and graphics that we now take for granted, and required the use of a pen and paper to take notes as you played. Dad mistakenly believed that his mastery of these games were an indication of being good at something, rather than an indulgence of his autism. Now, dad longs to reclaim the glory days, when he could pretend he was good at something, even if it means the rest of us are stuck playing a boring, featureless, grindy piece of shit that absolutely blows by modern standards. Dad does not care. Dad thinks wanting games to be fun and require skill is a form of millenial entitlement.

Just as he can't understand why kids these days don't just listen to the Beatles like he used to, so too can dad not understand why no one under the age of 30 wants to play his games.

That's my guess, but I am only an amateur dad-psychoanalyst.

>What is the Terrapin for?

All the things listed in its relevant pages:

>The design has been put into service as everything from a standard APC to (most effectively) a long-range explorer. Terrapin often serve as combat search-and-rescue ships, a role they came into after testing proved their ability to perform precise combat pickups while under heavy enemy ground fire.

Terrapin supports infantry based out of the Polaris and can also act as a long range scanner that can act on its own or as bait. Basically it performs a heavy utility function that supplements the Polaris in just about every meaningful way.

Polaris is supposed to have a medbay, a brig, an armory, enough room for a security team of about a dozen people, and a shit load of other amenities. Terrapin is extremely useful for anything not directly related to ship combat.

>Together they well outgun any other option.

The Polaris has quite a lot of guns all on its own. Don't forget that those 3 Auroras won't have the range, speed, durability or concentrated firepower that other fighters do. Remember that surviving one fight only to be crippled for the next is a distinct possibility.

You're at part 5 of ED's player experience trajectory.

1. Wow this is so cool! Endless space, endless adventure! Oh man did you see that hyperspace jump animation! This game fucking rules!

2. Huh, so the pirates just spawn here infinitely forever and it doesn't matter whether I kill them or not. Well, that's okay, it's still fun to play, even though there's nothing of consequence to do in the game world. Besides, there's a 10 year plan! I'm sure they'll flesh that out eventually!

3. Heh. I sure am spending a lot of time jumping around. Wait, why can't I see my wing-mate? Did you say I have to deliver 10,000 leaflets a week just to break even in Powerplay, and there is zero inter-faction PvP involved?

4. Wait, I have to do HOW much grinding to get a Cutter and unlock all the Engineers?

5. *grinding*

6. *grinding*

7. *grinding*

8. My soul is starting to feel kinda funny.

9. *grinding*

10. Finally! I have a fully grade-5 engineered Cutter, and it only took me 500 hours of tedious, mindless grinding! Now I can finally play the ga... shit.

Nothing against PvP but some kids have some autistic fascination with killing others to escape their shitty life, their have their own hatred of the idea of PvP to PvE slider because they would rarely meet people who can't take on them.

Those autists' hatred are what fuel dads' hatred. It's surprisingly separate from dad inability to accept playing a game for fun.

Aside, competitive play describe game like DOTA, SC is a game where you are supposed to appreciate the mission, not fly through them on speedhack to rise in a scoreboard. Dad are pretty vocal about that because they don't understand that only shitty game are built like that (and ironically that's how E:D end up )

The terrapin is a pretty good paring since it gives a good radar, but I'd go for a Gladiator for missiles and torps on top of your missiles and torps.

But to be honest, a terrapin or a Gladiator would not be able to compete with another option: a 25m long starter repair ship. Basically a ship tender that's maybe a little larger than the terrapin but still fairly boxy. Repairs to your polaris and escort after battles would be fucking great. If it lives up to the crucibles abilities, but at a smaller level, it would also be able to give ammo and some quantum fuel.

There's no competition for that hangar spot if a ship like this comes around.

What about the Vanguard Hoplite then? It's faster, it carry troops, still have weapons and need less manned turret.
I have the feeling that the Terrapin was made to be that one escort mission.

>>164946936
Just look at CIG forum if you don't believe me, it's shock full of "here is what I will do with my solo Endeavor", you can insult them if you want but that wouldn't make you
And meta-gamer is what kill ED right now. Every new player learn to go private, since there's nothing to do you are forced to kill whoever you meet.

You'll bless the NPC slider when it allow pirate to grind like trucker and not lose everything when Bounty hunter jump on their ass.

Kinda making me want to get a refund.
>>
>>164948182
No, but this whole thing has been around for a long time.

The idea is that you could use a slider to dictate if you were more likely to encounter players or NPCs.

However Chris has already stated that:
-It won't function at all in low security / no security areas
-If someone is after you specifically or has you tagged as a person of interest, slider doesn't do jack shit.

With all the instancing stuff going on, remains to be seen if the slider will even be in the game at all, but it was never a "solo mode"

>>164948505
As long as they won't be able to affect player faction assets while they're in "NPC only" mode, I don't care. That's the main issue with Solo mode in ED, invisible enemies can fuck your faction and you have no way of stopping them or even knowing that they're doing something until it's already too late.

Its like you didn't listen to anything, anon

Solo mode in E:D means you're totally safe

Putting the "slider" all the way to max NPC doesn't save you from people tagging you as a person of interest, or seeking you out specifically, nor does it work in the most dangerous (and logically most profitable for minters/traders/explorers) areas.

So no, not at all.

Quite the contrary, it only work because of that 9:1 figure
This figure is meant to say that the dev aren't slacking off and leaving the players to roleplay the AI they couldn't be bothered to make.

As said in the video it's also protection against goon-like orgs trying to crash the game for the lulz.

Aside, don't take ED as an example. It's only broken because they made a point of not changing the little stuff they should have.

For example : from what I gathered logging off in battle will get your NPC ship killed, but logging off out of battle won't, although you might relog and fin some balance feature saying your ship had to flee back to a base.

>>164949445
You'll have NPC traders, miners, explorers and the insurance that players you meet PvP will be looking to give you a challenge.

I wonder just how much shit has been scrapped and started again.

Seeing sandi's twitter triggered this as I saw that on the 5th she tweeted about character range of motion.

I'm pretty sure this subject was done a year or two ago.
I specfically remember seeing demos of the testbed character doing various poses to show off the range of motion in the skeleton. Especially when they started mocap for Sq42.

No wonder it's taking forever for more character models (female included) when they keep starting over.

>>164951214
Exactly this. I get annoyed with them with all this retarded delay. I mean it's taken 4 years to produce a broken FPS tech demo on an FPS engine. No wonder it's giving people like Derek Smart ammo against the project.

They threw out the maps that illfonic made and started again. These maps are only a few months old. They basically threw them together as quickly as possible using PU assets like from Kareah, all while pretending that it was coming out soon.

The only reason they threw out those illfonic maps was because there was no standardization of objects like doors that didn't fit the criteria that CIG had decided on since they handed it over to illfonic.

But I mean why couldn't they have used the rest of it? Why not just edit the maps? If they were supposedly using the same engine build it wouldn't have taken long.

And when you watch the old vs new SM video, the old one looks better. It makes CIG look incompetent and frankly dishonest.

I just started mining with my starting Sidewinder yesterday and I found a planet with a metallic ring (pic related). I easily mined one canister or whatever of platinum before I went to bed, but when I got back today I couldn't find any platinum at all. It's the same ring around the same planet. Been to several RES, mined probably hundreds of useless rocks in total. Does it matter which part of the ring I go to? Does the more transparent part of the ring have different loot tables from the less transparent parts? What happens if I just fly straight through a ring while in supercruise? Can I mine shit in one of these rings without going to an RES?
>>

>>
>>164965047
>Can I mine shit in one of these rings without going to an RES?
Yes. RES simply increase the amount of shards rare materials like platinum or painite drop when mined.
These materials are not present in all asteroids, you will need a prospector limplet to know the content of an asteroid. Limplets are single use and they take up cargo space.
>>
>>164965183
its way more fun than transporting data from A to B

>>164965278
But yesterday I kept finding platinum in almost every asteroid. Today theres nothing.
>>
>>164965183
I actually know basically everything about ED mining after looking it up for engineers.

Bottomline: It's not worth it unless you have a corvette to mine in.
Mine in the inner ring but not the res.
HazRes npcs don't give a fuck if you are a corvette and they are an eagle, they will attack you anyway.
Collector limplets are dumb as rocks, never deplot them while close to an asteroid.
Mining is bad.

Range, probably.
>>
>>164965729
I'm just guessing on these. Tracking will require you to be agile and stealthy with range, to keep up with whatever you're tracking. Scanning will require dedicated equipment to actually scan shit, detect if there are valuable materials in a ring. Exploring will literally be just flying around without the dedicated equipment, maybe some basic shit to chart points of interest.

No, these dads are the ones that played Elite, Frontier Elite, etc. They've never touched video games again until ED came out, so their understanding of good game design is very misconstrued.

Jeez, that's quite a lot of salt. Personally I quite like how Eve does things. You have high-sec where you are basically safe (this could be made even safer), low-sec which is basically a more lucrative high-sec with pvp but some advantage to the non-aggressor through NPC help and then you have null-sec which is complely laissez-faire sandbox.

The only thing I hate is the third person point of view and the passive combat.

>>164970939
SC has the misfortune of being crowdfunded, and as such people expect it to be done in the usual time period between hearing about a project and being able to play it that they're used to, even though thats ridiculous.

Its not vaporware, but its just taking the normal development time for a game of its scope.

>The ED "community" thinks pvp is an abomination unto god
Well to be fair, the game would have probably been better without it. It pretty much adds nothing of value, kills the community, and forces the devs to constantly have to worry about balance. Of course, implemented properly, it would have been fine.
>>
>>164972309
Hey, daddyoh!
>>
>>164972309
The game would have been better without that whole joke of an "MMO" system.
>>
>>164970939
Games take years to develope, the yearly cod clone doesnt take a single year to make, this si why they have multiple studios making them concurrently for the express purpose of hitting those yearly dates.

SC is no different in that its a single studio making a very ambitious game, supposedly TF2 took 9 years of development, but we never knew about it until it was basically done and nearing release. This made it "ok" with people, but SC, having been known since the idea was pitched on kickstarter and therefor before development was started, is simply "taking too long".

I'll stop rambling now.

So you enjoy Elite's implementation of PvP?
What do you think is the best thing about it?
The fact that there is absolutely no reason to engage in it?
The fact that the flight model is ruined in order to cater to it?
The fact that ship variety is destroyed by it?
The fact that 99% of the community hides in solo to avoid it?
The fact that there are no repercussions to it?
The fact that it is impossible to actually make a career out of piracy anyway?
ED would have been better as a PVE focussed pseudo-MMO like warframe.

Flight assist off was nerfed to prevent anyone doing anything other than circling, even though everyone flies with assist on anyway.
Yaw does nothing, for much the same reason as mentioned above.
Ships constantly get rebalanced to be viable, resulting in mostly very similar jack of all trades vessels.
Ships all have to be designed to fit into the same dogfight combat style.
With PvE you can just up the number of enemies or their competancy, you can add all sorts of more radical and niche ships and weapons, the problem with PvP is that everything needs to work on a fair level in 1v1, without disrupting the tuned dogfighting style combat.
Maybe you could attribute these problems to simply the core game design rather than PvP, but I don't. Game balance is hard and it's much easier to make a fun PvE game when not having to worry about it.
>>
>>164811178
When they try to achieve realism instead of focusing on interaction with the world and its players. Star Citizen is the best example of this - the controls feel slow, tanky and clunky, even when on foot and there's nothing to do in the Persistent Universe. They added the Arena Commander and Space Marine game modes to fluff up the game, otherwise you'd just have a skeleton made of cartboard for a game.
>>
>>164983010
Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me

Plenty of games have PvP without 1v1 being balanced, and half that shit applies to PvE just as much.

>>
>>164879289
>1 day ago

Are you the anon that bugged out his Caterpillar and floated around it?
>>
>>164985146
Not that anon but it's easy to balance 1vs1 PvP when you make both side symmetrical, it's much harder when both side don't start with the same numbers & equipments but still need to have equal chance of winning.
PvE avoid a lot of this problem because only one side must win, and by nerfing the AI or the number of enemy.

Not that I would ever defend getting rid of PvP, the devs just shouldn't take the easy way and make everything equal.

>>164983831
Give it a rest, it's a frigging barebone technical demo that doesn't even have the item 2.0 to interact with stuff. Look at AtV and dev Q&A, there's more interaction planned than several AAA game worth of features.

It's called emergent gameplay anons. The added thread of death by pirates just makes running into thargoids even more dangerous. It really makes you have to think about going into deep space away from the bubble, where you can lose your ship to some hazard you have no control over. It's pure realism and immersive gameplay and you'll just have to accept that.

I'm on a Mac at this moment and time and I can use a PS4 controller but it doesn't seem to work. I haven't tried E:D in about a year but last time I had to download a application to work in hand to make sure E:D could use it.

If it is a bunch of manchildren who really REALLY is trying to dream away into a universe like they depict, then it is fuckin terrible and sad.

Shit is all subject to change so the only thing we can trust is what is pitched
Besides what the variant roles state (which will be probably be made somewhat redundant when ship modules are brought in);
The freelancer carries and can fight
The cutlass fights and can carry

Which of those roles do you want to lean towards?
>>
>>165000520
Cutlass Black / Freelancer are going to remain versatile.

Cutlass Blue is more geared towards police work and will never carry as much cargo but will be tougher. Pods can be removed but don't leave as much room as in the Black.

MIS is more geared towards support work and will never carry as much cargo, and potentially be more vulnerable.

Everything is subject to total change

What is the actual vision for the flight model in SC?

All the ships right now feel very samey and I cant help but feel like things are going to be weird when larger ships are interacting with smaller ships on the same FM.

I guess we already see it with Caterpillars and Starfarers spinning around like retards.

It just seems really weird to me that CIG has always designed their ships to look like they are for WWII in space and even all of their commercials are like that.

Like, how do they actually see an engagement of pirates attacking a guarded transport looking like.

too many cooks. the gimbals were supposed to give it an edge but then they fixed the flight model enough that fixed became viable. then some genius "balanced" gimbals even further with a size limitation, and the new flight revisions mean it's maneuverability counts for shit and 'just don't get hit' it no longer a thing. on of that is the benosphere deciding that every combat ship needs a 'no this is the REAL combat ship' variant, along with one for every other possible role, justifying the base being shit at everything. also the retarded ladder and current glare bug dock it more points, putting it firmly in the trash.

As of now it adds planetary landings and exploration as well as the ability to customize modules (locked behind grindwall) using Engineers and ship launched fighters.

The planetary landings are neat and very impressive the first couple of times you experience them, then they gradually become something of a routine. I'm still finding planet surfaces that look cool though. It's all quite atmospheric.

Engineers constitute one of the worst/longest grinds in the game, but you can get some serious performance enhancements out of them. If you're looking to do PvP, you're fucked without some engineer mods.

I've not yet toyed around with ship launched fighters, but as I recall people didn't hate them. They look cool at least.

Horizons also gives access to a season pass of yet-to-be-determined length, but will include multi crew and custom characters. https://www.elitedangerous.com/en/seasons/#season2

Bottom line, if you're of the opinion that 30 bucks was well worth it to drop on Elite, it's highly likely that you'll enjoy Horizons as well.

Guys, our time is at hand. We can have the game that we want this year, but we all have to work together to bring it about.

We have to step our meme production tremendously if we want to effect real change. You can only do ICC missions and play SM with aimbots for so long. Kek needs your memes and rewards those who stay truthful. We have already seen the incredible effects meme magic can have, it's time to use those powers to bring divine inspiration and guidance to CIG in order to speed the project along without delay.

I know there are a lot of oldfags who have retreated into lurking as evidenced of the quality of the OC here lately. This is your call to action. There aren't any significant updates in the next few weeks, let us use that time in the selfish pursuit of enhancing the inspiration and problem solving at the heart of the development of this game.

This thread will be dead soon, and I will not spam the thread since other people need room to express themselves too.

Sando "lol there's a fish on my shoulder" Sammarco said that they're going to be updating Powerplay mechanics to be less shit before season 2 is over.

He wasn't overly specific, but some of things he mentioned were:
>Tying missions in with Powerplay
>Changing merits into a currency you accumulate and spend on various benefits instead of needing to grind to beat the weekly decay
>Scaling the value of merits with time pledged to a power in order to encourage long-term loyalty without forcing weekly grinding

Which are all decent enough changes if you ask me. The weekly grinding aspect is the worst part, not to mention the generally boring nature of the things you do to support a Power, so if they can get rid of the grind and increase task variety, it might be okayish. I'm really crossing my fingers that they will add PvP rewards to the system, too, since that's the most obvious place to reward PvP in a game where PvP serves absolutely no purpose right now. Of course I doubt they'll do that, I can't imagine dad would tolerate a single drop of encouragement for PvP.

There's also an upcoming patch where they're making it so PP NPCs won't attack you unless you're actively doing PP stuff, as well as adding some things to fix the impact of fifth column activities and collusion piracy. The immediately upcoming fixes won't make PP fun, but at least it won't be mechanically broken anymore.

Cutlass senpai, can it be reasonably assumed that the upcoming size changes for the black will also apply to red/blue?

I'm unhappy with my freelancer. I wish I never upgraded from my cutlass black and would downgrade if I could. Melting my package to get a cutlass black package would cost MORE money since I have a game package before the package split/price increase.

So I'm considering upgrading to a red and grabbing a blue CCU off the grey market, but I want to be sure those size changes apply to the blue as well.
>>
>>165041291
No reason why the Black would suddenly inflate but the Red/Blue that are based on the Black hull wouldn't.

The latter both need the rework too
>>
>>165041291
the blue and red are going to be based on the same hull just like the Vanguard series so of course the size changes ere going to apply.

I've been playing ED for a week, and have some questions.

Is this multiplayer? How the fuck do I find people to hang out with? How do I differentiate between an NPC and a PC? I've literally met dozens of NPCs, and 0 players so far.

In that same vein: how does chat work? What about voice chat?

If I'm sent to a system to "find X", do I literally just supercruise around, looking of USSs?

Finally, how the fuck am I supposed to fight with a shitty ass Sidewinder? I've bought a multicannon and a pulse laser, and I still struggle with Threat 1 USSs.

>>165045856
>Is this multiplayer?
"Kind of" is the best answer to that
>How the fuck do I find people to hang out with?
Most people hang out in Solo mode, meaning they're totally invisible to you and you can't interact with them in any way. Have to arrange to join up in a wing some other way, like friends.
>How do I differentiate between an NPC and a PC?
CMDR prefix on the name.
>how does chat work? What about voice chat?
Have to focus in on the chat panel, should be a bind for it somewhere. I've only ever done it with friends/wingmates, and even then I generally use a third party program. Chatting is not really something you ever do in Elite.
>If I'm sent to a system to "find X", do I literally just supercruise around, looking of USSs?
Yep.

Theres literally no other way to do it, or to tell what it is before you jump in. Pure luck.
>Finally, how the fuck am I supposed to fight with a shitty ass Sidewinder?
Choose your targets, don't pick off more than you can chew. Try to stick in people's blind spots. Mostly practice, and once you've got enough cash all ships are vertical upgrades.

You can either head to areas with lots of players (newbie systems, community goals, certain hotspots like 17 Draconis), or else join a player group or one of the powerplay discords or something.

>How do I differentiate between an NPC and a PC?
As the other anon said, CMDR prefix on their name. Also, other players show up as hollow blips on your radar, while NPCs are solid blips.

>In that same vein: how does chat work? What about voice chat?
I forget what the default keybind is, but there should be an option to focus on the comms panel in the top left of your hud. From there you can chat, and you can hail another player to open voice comms with them if you want.


>If I'm sent to a system to "find X", do I literally just supercruise around, looking of USSs?
You either bring a discovery scanner and use it when you arrive, or you drop in on the nav beacon and scan it. After doing one of those, your missions will be updated with a specific location in-system. Go there and fly around it until the mission specific signal source spawns. It will be in there.

>Finally, how the fuck am I supposed to fight with a shitty ass Sidewinder? I've bought a multicannon and a pulse laser, and I still struggle with Threat 1 USSs.
Go to a resource extraction site, follow the local cops around, and "killsteal" from them by shooting at whatever they're fighting at the last second. It won't be long before you have enough cash for a better combat ship. A Viper MkIII will probably be your first big upgrade for combat.

I have a vette for combat and a conda for exp.
What do I fit my clipper for?
>>
>>165050478
clipper is a decent pvp ship, the high speed means you get to dictate the terms of engagement

in terms of pve it's a decent multirole mission runner, and also a pretty good mining rig
>>
>>165051257
>clipper
I meant cutter. Sorry.
>>
>>164802107
Is Cutlass+Dragonfly combo better than Freelancer+Dragonfly combo if they're going to be your only ships? At least you can fight somewhat with Cutlass
>>
>>165051350
it's kind of the same, actually, a cutter is more or less just a really big clipper

the cutter has a much larger cargo hold, though, so you can add trading to the list
>>
>>165051506
Dragonfly is only good for planetary travel and bugging out of your ship. It will also take up a bunch of room that could otherwise be used for cargo.

Basically, if you insist on having a dragonfly, accept that your cargo hauls will be an afterthought and go with the better fighter. (Cutlass.)
>>
>>165051538
I'm kinda too lazy to come up with a build now.
And having to swap engineered pieces from one ship to the other is the biggest pain there is.

Seriously though, 'lancer is actually decent in combat as long as you don't get swarmed by little ships and it'll get even better when the fix all the bugs with it currently. I'm not really that good but I'm more than willing to fight ya if you wanna have some fun and give it a go.

I don't understand. Why do you want to buy back ships you melted in the past? Didn't you melt them in the first place to get a bigger/better ship? I am lost as to why you'd want this.

Google 17 Draconis explot.
Literally hundreds of posts and videos. It's gonna be removed next patch if it isn't already. Next patch is a week away at most.
>>
>>165060945
The network features introduced in 2.6.1 mean that you're no longer given information on a 300i's mav thruster from a half a system away, but it doesn't do anything to help the efficiency of the netcode.

If you're in an area with a lot of people its still going to chug, hard.
>>
>mfw the buy-back system jews you if you upgraded a package

Originally had a 300i, upgraded all the way to a Harbinger. If I buy the package back, all I get is the 300i.
>>
>>165061246
I'm just looking forward to not having everything updated at all times. That's what has been causing most of my issues. I never really run into lots of people in the PU. Means that I'll potentially be able to explore around the different areas at 60 FPS finally.

You're supposed to get store credit for extra shit, aren't you? So if you had a 300i, upgraded 40 bucks or whatever stupid amount, you get that back on credit.

senpai i need help, should I buyback Genesis Starliner or Prowler?

I mean starliner seems fuckin flexible bangbus, but on the otherhand I dont know if Prowler will ever go on sale, and how hard its going to get in game??
>>
>>165062594
Are you planning to fly celebrities to movie premiers? Or wait an unknown length of time before Ben comes up with a good idea of a bomber module for it?

Or are you going to own a covenant-type badass dropship with shields?

Both will probably be on sale next anniversary.

Also I'd be interested to know if the prowler fits in the back of a polaris, that would be awesome.
>>
>>165007220
Wow, that's not just a dads, he also believe E:D is some sort of e-sport where everybody are competing with each other
>>
>>165062836
Genesis is quite modular senpai, cargo, passenger, or command control..hell it might even be a moving prison. Carrying passengers aside, its supposedly very modular. Aaand it has top shields and thrusters along with fuel.

Prowler on the hand is just ultra sexy, nice guns, can hover on ground, but supposedly short travel fuel, and not much beside a dropship..we cant seem to modify ayyylmao ships than default kit. I wonder if it is gonna be like Vanduul ship rare, or gonna be like Xian shitty rare. Will it be ccuable in future?

Fuck I need help, but Genesis seems a lot more gameplayish than the ultra sexy..but Prowler is god fuckin damn sexy.

I can choose

Have the SC sub on Leddit always been filled with butthurt "I got banned for a retarded reason" when it's actually quite justified that they got banned?

They should have known that there are better ways to utter your opinion about something than to spew it on THE FORUM.

In my opinion, the reason you (the banned person) get banned is that you post it on the forum is to gather a following and start a riot to show CIG how much you disagree with them.
It's ok for game mechanics and design, but dont do it to bash an employee in the company.


You should have known better that this is not the way to do it, because CIG will as most other devs, shut down anything that may start a riot or mass following for a negative cause as early as they can.

God damnit, people are retarded.

>>165063148
>Will it be ccuable in future?
You can always CCU to it when it's on sale. It means waiting another 10 months, though.

I never liked the Genesis but that's just my personal opinion.

I think the idea of a starliner retrofitted in to some command prison fortress is stupid. But whatever. I think the prowler is one of the more unique ships that's been sold, like the Xi'an scout or Vanduul ships.
>>
>>165062469
No, all it does is cost what the original package does

But the upgrades are lost forever, so you can't "unmelt" a pacakage with a rare upgrade

And yet when you get in the SRV the game literally does an animation of your commander getting out of his chair.

The fighter really bugs me, too. It's supposed to be controlled remotely but you see a guy sitting in the cockpit.

PVP needs to be balanced because once they do that they can remove Solo mode.

Your camera's view-point raises, implying that you are getting up out of your chair. Doesn't really matter; both the SRV and fighters look and are 100% fucking garbage.

You are physically in the SRV. The part that says "telepresence enabled" is when you switch to the turret.
