Want a AAA game? A real one, not an shitty improvement of the last one? Want it released complete and not rushed with DLC later? Then you wait 8 to 100 years.

>>165545883
Not an argument. Star Citizen will have DLC later.

Also it's kind of stupid to expect people to give you money and send them weekly updates for 10 years to get them emotionally attached, and release a game which invariably won't live up to the hype you instilled in them.

I am enjoying the hell out of the new military slot on my Viper III. Snug and protected internals are the best. And dem rapid fire 5 pulse lasers. Combo them with medium seeker missiles with expanded magazines and you have a hard hitting strike fighter.

But it doesn't, anon.

Unless you're confusing DLC with expansion packs.

>>165548068
An expansion pack is DLC. PCs are being sold these days without optical drives because of how many people download data instead of using disks, hence it's downloadable content.

>>165548170
By that logic the original game itself is DLC

>>165548170
The only "expansion packs" are S42 episodes 2 and 3, and following that logic Mass Effect 2 would be a DLC to ME1.

Chris Robert is against pay2win or pay2unlock any additions to the Persistent Universe, so the only DLC would be visual skin or Single players additions made AFTER the 60missions that will be delivered in 3 episode, each episode being part of SQ42 and thus delivered for free.

CIG already have enough money to last several years even with no more funding.
When they'll finally market to the whole worlds two complete games at full price, then they'll male as much money as the biggest game studio (even with only one game out).

>>165548519

>>165547871
I ha a DD3 vulture with one efficient thermal vent beam and one OC corrosive MC, thermal resist shields, one heavy duty shield booster that adds a flat 4% resist across the board as bonus

since the update, the vulture gained one CLASS FIVE military slot. I since then ditched the HRPs and in the regular slots for a more multipurpose build (SRV bay, fuel scoop), overcharged the power plant and put a SCB in the military slot and HOLY. SHIT SON that thing is an angry little ball of nerves that simply won't die because LOL SHIELDS

>>165549014
I miss my Vulture. I sold it for a Python a long time ago but it was good times even then. I just remember being able to hold down the trigger on beam lasers FOREVER and still turn tighter than a Viper. I'd be terrified of an engied out Vulture with that class 5 slot holding it's already substantial guts in.

>>165549691
get one, it responds exceptionally well to dirty drives. With overcharge rank 3 or 4, you don't even have to worry about power constraints. I have a 5A SCB in the military slot and could run yet another shield booster in place of one of my 2 chaff launchers

>>165548818
Depend of how you interpret "episodic"
http://scqa.info/?show=10FTC&episode=14&qid=6
Link say the game will be delivered in chapter mainly because they'll be made available as they are completed.
No doubt they can make new storyline later as DLC but for now we are to expect 60 missions as part of SQ42

"Mission disk" sound different from an "episodes" and likely to be a DLC. They once said something about making aside the "coop mission outside of PU" that couldn't be added to SQ42 (because players in coop rarely ever look at cinematic or story)

Big difference between the working game and alpha balance, not that paying more directly translates to winning anyway.

>>165545883

Not that I disagree with your argument, but the examples given on that image aren't exactly great. I'm actually shocked Prey took so long to develop. It wasn't a bad game, but it was distinctly meh at best. I'd have thought TF2 took maybe 2 years to make.

>>165551824
Prey have a good justification for that. At the time it was the first game to play with gravity, space&time with no loading screen.
I remember a part where you enter a portal and end up on the asteroid that was miniaturized and put on display in the same room you left.

Team Fortress however have no excuse, unless they were like 4 persons in the dev team working on it on their free-time

Some game also cheat with procedural generation. They claim to have something extraordinary but it's 5% original content and 95% procedural copypasting

>>165552264

I suppose I probably played Prey a little late as it didn't stand out at the time. It did have pretty decent graphics too to be fair. In fact the only thing that killed it now that I think about it was the cheesy story.

What was described with the asteroid above? Try to imagine it.
You enter a room with a micro asteroid floating in a cube, you enter the portal and you ARE on the rock floating, then enemy enter the previous room.
YOU CAN SEE THEM from the asteroid, so they are ENORMOUS

The rest you seem to know, like changing the direction of gravity for puzzle or to cross crevasse.
If it had been more popular we would praise it more than Portal 2.

I heard they are making a remake of it.

Do some Arena Commander public races. You won't win, and like won't finish, but if you stay until the end of the race, you will get REC. You will need 600-800 for the missile mount, and size 3 missiles are 800-2800.

Aurora has a size 4 mount so any mount that starts with a 4 is what you want. Here are what the numbers mean for a Marsden 423 mount

4 = Size 4 mount. This must match your ship, you can't run a size 3 mount on a size 4 slot.
2 = Number of missiles
3 = size of missiles

You can also run a 414 or 481 mount, but I would choose size 3 or 4 missiles since they hit really, really hard. Size 1 and 2 are less useful.

Also, an Aurora LN is probably a worthwhile upgrade. It has 2 extra hardpoints for guns and comes with a 442 mount and Dominators.

>>165536505
In addition to >>165555528

You should probably get enough rec to rent an M50, so you can race. Once you have it (and you're okay at flying) it's an easy 8-10k rec per hour.

>>165536505
>I just bought an aurora holiday starter and my missile rack is empty

The Aurora LX is pretty rough. You really don't need to spend any more money. Everything will be earnable in the PU eventually, and AC can be done completely with rental gear.

An Aurora LN is a good upgrade, anything past that is on you.

>>165556430
It does actually, they make it painfully impossible to miss that buying ship will only grant you to start with them, not make you have them for free forever (the LTI only reduce the fee).
Also that buying missiles and weapon with real money is totally wasteful.

Can't be blamed if some people still want to give them money for that

>>165557314
This is why I was ok with getting the ships I wanted to start with. I can still fill up hangars with other ships, but I will be earning them in a ship that is more profitable than a starter ship.

I think the confusion for a lot of people is that they are identifying their character with the ship they bought. They think they are a Herald or Connie or Starfarer when the reality is those only exist as a single item of property in their inventory.

All you are in SC is the person who wakes up in PO the first time. Everything else is inventory.

I can't wait until ~6 months after insurance is implemented when someone loses an Aquila permanently because they refused to renew the insurance. The salt will flow.

>>165558423

Well there is certainly one race of at least benign aliens in the ancient ruins builders. I think the Thargoid looking ones will be hostile. Their introduction has the feel of a recon mission. Perhaps the two races will be interlinked in some way with humanity being caught in the middle of someone else's old blood feud.

>>165558668
>blood feud
Except that thargoids never operated like that. They really only attacked when they needed more resources iirc

>>165558571
That's what I was getting at. There will surely be some mechanism to alert you if you are calling up a ship that has expired insurance. Some faggot will ignore that on a really expensive ship, lose the ship because of faggotness, and cry like a bitch on the forums about how CIG is ripping him off and being unfair.

I'm looking forward to the perma death and insurance aspects of the game. It is actually something new. Piracy is looking pretty awesome atm.

>>165567427

Yeah but I'm not far enough in to have such a powerful combat ship. Once I've got the money to get myself a decent second ship for bounties and combat, I'll probably start doing that, as well as assassination missions.

I'm neutral with all parties so far and only bipping around in a Type 6.

>>165568079
Dumb. You drastically decrease the number of missions you can take in a large ship and the stations you can go to. Smuggling missions give lots of outposts you need to go to. Occasionally you may even get one of those outposts in an Anaconda because I'm pretty certain Frontier's mission system doesn't take into consideration what you're flying.

"Chris Roberts: "There will be the opportunity for players to build their own homes or outposts" How is that possible, it leads immediately afterwards technically made "freight - ie crates or boxes, which are made for example in the cargo hold of a Freelancer - is stored in a persistent database."

Nobody knows why the thargoids attacked. The lore only has some vague suggestions humans may have provoked them but nothing more specific than that.

>You don't lose it, you just won't get it back if something gets fucked up if I recall correctly
That's the same thing, you have to pay it full price if it get destroyed without a insurance, and without other forms of insurances you don't get back the special equipment you added or the cargo.

>>165559147
You would have to be a very big moron to neglect the insurance. All operating cost feature are meant to get your to manage your budget right.

I don't believe the "perma death" is going to be really hard, and by that I mean even knowing you'll respawn in hospital.
The "next of kin" legacy is probably just going to be a minor "recreate your character even if you loose nothing" nuisance to make you care more about the character you create than you would if you could keep it forever.

Please, in the name of Kek, give the dads their solo ships. At best, they will be marginally better than fighting a NPC only ship with the chance of a capital ship as your reward.

Please, please, please for all pirates, let this happen. I am perfectly at peace with only getting capital ships if I can catch one.

>>165559512
Half its stuff is not missing, you got the exact ship you paid for.
You bought a starter ship and got a starter ship, the primary cost of ships is filling their slots with good parts, not the actual hull. And all the actual good parts to make the ship a decent fighter can be had in the REC store and earned through gameplay.

>>165588469
Not him but a new character just gets a slight deduction in rep, you can't just an hero a few times until the character creator comes up to get a blank slate.

>>165588747

>>165589234

There's thousand of reason you won't see players constantly flying capital ship even if they have ten time the money for it

>I would rather have my friend lead a boarding team or wingmens for complex multiship tactics.

Good for you, but nobody gives a shit about your preferences.

>>165589412
Oh I don't know how viable it will be I'm just saying Chris has said in some 10ftc you will get a deduction in rep on your new character, as if you were the son of a pirate or son of a businessman and people will be slightly prejudiced and expect you to act similarly.
Not an exact quote obviously but pretty much what he said.

>>165589510
What's wrong with it, just crew up if you want to use ships "designed for group play". You keep making up all these reasons full NPC crew won't make people all pilot capitals solo instead of together, but there's no need.

>>165588469 >>165588880
Maybe a mix of both.
Reputation is locked on your character but each time your die (enough) you lose some of the bad rep.
More throughout statistics calculation can also avoid a lot of false-negative and Exploit (by making them require hundred of players and long timer to work).

You won't get rid of griefer but if you make it as painful to them to do any damage they'll off themselves.

>>165575727
>Is it finally any easier to make money
It seems like they scaled up the payout for missions when you have good rep with the faction, I didn't see it in the patch notes though.

You're arguing against envious shitposters. They could be furries for all you know. No amount of reasoning works against these people. They would literally oppose any argument if they felt like it. They don't care about facts, just their feelings.

That's how you can tell they come from RSI or reddit.

Someone can afford to hire NPCs to crew their Idris, and they don't like it. Therefore they oppose it.

If you offered these people a lifetime supply of NPCs to crew their free Idris, they'd oppose it so it wouldn't contradict their initial statement.

Doesn't even make sense, considering every ship in E:D is a solo one, up to the ones that would be considered captials or subcaps in SC.

So, talk more shit.

>>165592996
Your question is stupid.

Having the ability to command NPCs as a fleet commander is literally a natural extension of NPC functionality in the design of this game.

Just admit you are envious and don't like that Admiral guy. PM him and tell him you hate that dog avatar and you hope he gets banned and loses all his money.

Having the ability to command NPCs in your Idris, or even 2-3 of them in no way takes away your ability to play the way you want to.

You still need to find people to play with to take on capital ships, regardless of their crew composition.

Is it worth getting a fighter in Elite?

>every goon has 3 Idris

So essentially you're afraid that a small group of people are going to have millions of dollars disposable income to overwhelm the playerbase and buy capital ships and troll people.

That's understandable, friend. But we need to be realistic here.

1) Goons got refunds, only a handful are still backers.
2) Name a single goon who owns an Idris.
3) Goons are a small group of people and they hardly sing the praises of Chris Roberts or Star Citizen so what makes you think they are all going to flock to this game?
4) An Idris isn't even in the game yet and we have no idea how many can be in the same server without crashing (probably 2-3 max).
5) There won't be enough in the same place at the same time to be anywhere close to what you are afraid of.

Also, I find it a bit sad that the thought of some interesting and/or fun power dynamic that you are afraid of is the reason you want to gimp people's ability to interact with NPCs. Personally I find it exciting to think that a sole org can run an entire solar system, it would legitimize diplomacy too. I like the idea of huge orgs fighting each other over territory.

A raid in SC will be soloing an Idris while 40 other players cover you in solo-Polaris, dozen of fighter to kill the Vaandul torpedo-bomber, dozen of torpedo-fighter to kill Vaandul frigate and a token boarding ships to sweep a Kingship.
You'll have 40 npc crew just so everyone can join back as npc if killed.

40players in an Idris is just a noob or a dad too afraid to do a 1 players missions without someone else to grab his hand.

>>165595515
"goon" as in a term for people, not necessarily SA goons.

>Game can't handle three Idrises

That would be even worse considering it makes the larger ships impossible to exist in the game.

Either way, didn't actually refute anything regarding people being able to roll up with disproportionate firepower. Its boring and gamebreaking, and it definately affects my ability to play.

>>165595895
I did refute it, you're just not in a position to accept it. It doesn't break the game since the number of ships you are talking about won't be in the same place at the same time.

Would 3 fully player-crewed Idris turning up to 1-shot you in your mustang upset you? Or just ships with NPCs?

No, what would "upset" me would be the devolution of this game from purely player skill based (multicrew player ships) to economy based (medicore players still doing good in combat because 2/3 of the forces in a battle are NPCs anyway)

btw not saying you should have 40 players in one ship, 10 at the most. NPCs for the janitor and chef is obviously needed.

>>165596304
>Yes they will, or the game will be dead anyway.
You think 100 Idris (30 goons commanding 3 each) are just going to turn up in the same place at the same time? That's like 1000NPCs + any players in the area. Do you expect the netcode to support this?

It's true that we don't know the numbers available yet, but to think of the numbers being like some EVE battle with goonswarm and thousands of ships is silly.

>>165596098
>Would 3 fully player-crewed Idris turning up to 1-shot you in your mustang upset you? Or just ships with NPCs?

You're implying these are the same to be attacked by when they aren't.
If in another game 5 people attack you you understand that they should be stronger than you by working together. But if one person attacks you with 4 NPCs giving a total strength of 5 players that kind of feels bullshit. He's stronger than you because he had NPCs. Which means if you want to fight him you also need NPCs.

>You think 100 Idris (30 goons commanding 3 each) are just going to turn up in the same place at the same time? That's like 1000NPCs + any players in the area. Do you expect the netcode to support this?

So in other words, you don't think the Bengal, its air wing + enough ships to take on that Bengal and its air wing will ever be in the game. Gotcha. Ded game.

- 90% of the population will be NPC ship (include capital ship)
- only the shitty network code prevent a dozen capital ship to be used, if not for that LOD suffice
- the game have never been meant as 1 vs 1 competition, 10 players getting killed by the 10 npc a player paid for is perfectly balanced. If they had been intelligent they would have torpedoed the Idris rather than board it

>>165596846
>10 players getting killed by the 10 npc a player paid for is perfectly balanced.

>But if one person attacks you with 4 NPCs giving a total strength of 5 players that kind of feels bullshit.
Yes unfortunately this is true. I remember getting multiboxed in Alterac Valley by some ele shaman using 4 of them, 1-hitting me with lightning.

The tactic to overcome this is to be around other people to take them down.

Someone brings 3 Idris to a space station? Type in org chat that you have 3 ships to steal and get a party together.

>>165596807
How many rooms in the Bengal do you think will be accessible by players?

I think the realistic number of players in the same place will be 60-100. Maybe 200 if they do some magic. A Bengal vs Bengal with a couple of smaller ships max.

>>165596704
1. that's 90 idris,
2. you can't have NPC-only ships, at least one player has to be aboard each.
3. the netcode only has to worry about players and we have 30+ in SM right now. graphics and physics calculation would be the upper limiter in that situation.

>>165596846
>10 players getting killed by the 10 npc a player paid for is perfectly balanced.
No, that would be overpowered. Players are generally smarter than bots and therefore more efficient. The way I'd balance it was to make the NPCs OK but not great at combat, making it easier for players to steal whale ships.

>>165597423
>the netcode only has to worry about players
So NPCs are client-side? :^)

>that's 90 idris
Yeah thanks for pointing out the obvious in generalization.

>>165597293
>The tactic to overcome this is to be around other people to take them down.

Well no I'll just use my 3 Idris like everyone else will be

>>165597687
>everyone in Star Citizen will have 3x $1000 ships at a currency inflation of 40,000%

And even if you could get that amount of ships easily against someone else with the same setup, doesn't that sound fun? I think you'll say no, and I will just think you're a shitposter and won't bother replying to you.

Let's just agree to disagree.

>>165597882
So, just to be competitive, I have to grind a shit ton of cash to buy three of those AND stock them with NPCs...

Go home dad.

>>165598147
I don't want you to grind. I'm just saying that it sounds fun to command a fleet of ships against other people in the PU.

I'm also the person who said it won't be as big of a problem as people are whining about, i.e. dozens or hundreds of them won't be in the same instance.

>>165598415
How are you going to get that fleet of ships by yourself?
Grind.
You keep trying to make it seem like you have everyone's best interests at heart. Stop.

>don't want large & tactical fleet battle being common
I would love to agree to disagree but I'm too bored for that.

>10 at most [capital ship]
1 leader to oversee tactical situation and give order
1 captain to pilot the capital ship
1 player to pilot the on-board fighter and lead eventual wingmens
is all a small orgs player-crewed capital would need
Any more players is free to optimize the rest, pilot another snibfighter, get ready to board or pilot a support ship.

It's amazing how you guys blown time-killing minigame out of proportion. Listening to some of you shouldn't be able to move the ship at all unless it have 5 player

>>165597508
Maybe they are shitty/underequiped players or the bot were REALLY costly.

>making it easier for players to steal whale ships.
Nobody have a problem with that as long as you don't make fake-restriction to cater to powertripping whales-players.

>>165598147
>think SC is about 1vs1 competition
Go back to Battlefield anon, SC is 90% npc.
SC is meant to let you have FUN just flying those ship, no matter how many friend you have.

>>165599557
No, I'm pointing out that it turns combat into an economic game rather than a skill based one.

>>165599560

NPCs being server side means the same info can be propagated out to everyone, they don't have to move client calculations to the server and back out to everyone and compare notes, they just tell all the clients what happens.

>>165599116
I really liked the top one, only Idris I found remotely aesthetic. hope it's not scrapped/"updated"

Yes. They do a surprising amount of damage.

You'll want crew though, good luck finding ones that don't look like 50 year old meth users.

we use decimal POINTS in this general, frenchie. that's 9.78 in the accounting of Freedom.

>>165602491
978 out of 10?

Pretty impressive boner. Might break an inch.

>>165604010
Dog fighting, exploration, some salvage and easter eggs, couple stations to explore, bunch of asteroid fields to explore in black box/rescue missions and something like 30 ships? Maybe 40? I dunno.

>>165604010
about a dozen samey missions, most of which are kill the pirates/save the NPC from being killed by pirates/find the flight recorder from the ship killed by pirates, as well as a unique questline of exploring a derelict station, and a decently fleshed out criminal/mercenary faction lite system where you can do jobs for local system security or make money working for the local pirates, both pitting you against players from the other in pvp.
there's also plenty of exploration to do with some wrecks to loot scattered around the asteroid fields.

Also, did the 300 series get overhauled yet? I have a 315p.

>>165604010
Not too much but more importantly the netcode fucks framerate

Your opinion has been noted.

>>165590775
This is true. They may have made it to where you can't kill skimmers to get credit for massacre missions but 17 drac civil war shenanigans are still alive.

The highest I got killing skims was 12m per mission but now I get 15 and 16 mil per 108 ships x 20 missions.

Not a bad haul and about the pinnacle of PVE combat payout. Its fun but I wish there was a higher grade conflict zone that was nothing but money burritos like Pythons, 'Condas, Cutters, and Corvettes. I never get tired of blowing them up.

>>165633387
>Jump to Lightspeed and the Wookie update but still pre-NGE
Nope, and I sincerely doubt there will ever be, people working in pre-CU/CU emulators seem to be purists as hell.
Those "new" NGE servers using SOE-leaked code are fully updated JTL minus atmos flight so it's pretty cool, not like NGE fucked up JTL that much anyways. I've been waiting for one called Stella Bellum for a few months, but still not live, they do have a test server though.

>>165635914
>fully updated JTL
And by this I mean space publish (16 I believe) included: that's chassis rebalance, Nova Orion station and that piracy gimmick.
They did a last revision tweaking multi-crew damage/defenses towards the very end that I think it's still not in though, but if they're set on emulating everything NGE, except atmos flight for whatever reason, they might include it down the line, if not someone else will.
