The last time I was excited for Star Citizen was the 3.0 reveal, and it's likely that this was a bunch of wasted resources rushed together to sell jpgs and it doesn't exist in-game.

The last time before that, it was the lando blunder leaking all those assets.

At least there are 2 people I know of working on data mining these patches, one of them lurks the reddit discord and the other one in DS's discord. The first guy is making his own FPS module using assets from Terra and a bunch of ships in the patch.

SS13 is probably one of my favorite games of all time but I can barely play it because you faggots infest every server and turn it into a metafriending/adminfriending hugbox that everyone uses as an erp simulator. Thank you for turning every server including /vg/ into /tg/2.

Hey now, I don't always erp, but when I do its with an admin.

Back in my younger days I used to document each session, the admin, the position, even a screenshot of them...

Hard drive got bricked eventually but... I like to think I did my job.

But don't blame me, I stopped playing ss13 last year in favor of lifeweb. No rules, no friends, just death... would be fun to see if multicrew ships in SC turn into ss13 though...

How's the performance of the new Star Citizen patch? Has anyone seen improvements? Trying to judge the value of this megadownload.
>>
>>168754498
It's ok. There is a slight improvement to frames if you don't have a skylake. Load times are better, especially on ssd. Energy weapons are doing damage again.

is this game free to play yet or is there still a subscription?
>>
>>168755130
one-time purchase for both, no sub needed
>>
>>168755196
then why does scam citizen have a subscription?
>>
>>168755507
Every subscriber gets a personal visit from CR every month where he kisses them directly on the butthole. That's why the game is taking so long.
>>
>>168755507
it's an option for people who want access to more info on their development, not to play the game. It gives you access to the Jump Point magazine they put out each month with their concept art and other shit, as well as helping to sponsor content like around the verse.

For Sothis do you spam the data missions that take you to Ceos?

Yeah, there were very few donation missions compared to Niu Hsing. Niu Hsing has fewer data runs, and it is three stops or more board flipping.

Change one control (bind a stupid button that you don't use to weapon colour change)
Then go here https://www.mcdee.net/elite/
and input your custom binds file that's found %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings

Site then outputs image with your controls
Enjoy

>>168759573
Ya know that might work

but I just looked at my fire groups, and saw the scanner was on secondary fire
>>
>>168759980
The default binds puts my target and secondary on the same fucking button on my joystick

Also always remember to scan in turret mode because the scannable target rises out of targetable view as the scan progresses because fuck you that's why

The T16000M comes with bits to change it to left-handed. Not complicated to install by the looks though I haven't tried. You just unscrew something and then swap some palm grips.

When multicrewing, is the ship owner limited to the helm, or can he jump in a fighter while the NPC flies the ship? Then you can have two humans in fighters, and load the ship up with turrets for the third human (who also controls SCBs, for some reason).

Blocking griefers isnt "carebear" you retard.
Example: go to twitch and watch the SDC stream. That's what I would consider to be a blockable offense.
There will be carebears that block literally everyone, that's why I said the system should be forbidden to work in Anarchy systems. But you're too busy being salty that you might actually get punished for exploiting to actually read shit.

I think it'll make more people willing to play Open, but it definitely needs some fleshing out.
I'd say you should be able to block comms at any time, but block someone instancing with you if they kill you while you're not wanted.
It would really only come into play for actual griefers killing traders and explorers for no reason. People that do that deserve a block. There's no excuse to do that when you could just as easily find a player in a combat ship that most likely will not block you for killing them. And if they do block you, just laugh at them for being salty.
Since FD cant be bothered to put in crime/punishment then this is the next best thing.
This would also be a valid reason to axe Solo and Private mode.

This is my biggest issue with multicrew. Turrets are absolute worthless shit by themselves so if you want to have friends play with you but also be able to do your own thing when they aren't online, you'll have to have two loadouts and constantly be swapping out weapon modules. Along with now having to engineer turrets so they can keep up with railgun spam.

I'd probably just make a special ship for playing with friends like that. Plus I'm not even sure that the pilot can leave the helm and use a fighter if he has other players with him, which means for playing with friends I'll probably make a full dakka funship and give it two fighter bays.

There was another galnet post about Metadrive the other day. It makes me hopeful that fdev is actually going to introduce some sort of new long range travel mechanic.

>>168794852
Slow the fuck down. You are going too fast to turn, if you will slow down to turn, and then AB in straight flight it will be easier. All you are trying to do is get your nose pointed to use weapons, you are not winning a race. Use boost to tighten up a circle you are losing. Don't use it full time, but presume your opponent is. Down strafe to give you a better perspective and improve your gun window.

I also changed my throttle to make it easier. Set throttle to double tap W and S. Set forward strafe to W and spacebrake to S. I also change Roll to A and D, but I play ED also.

One more thing. racing will make you much better at fighting. Race in the ship you want to fight in, ignore trying to win. Once you understand what speed the ship will carve and turn versus the speed where you are fully sliding, those become tools for you to use also. You can fully drift pretty easy. Carving a turn is much trickier.

That would kick ass, but Frontier would find a way to fuck it up with cryonic fees and ridiculous timers.

I think the FSD should have an overdrive function where you lock on to the destination system of a route and make a series of quick hyperspace jumps where you don't spend more than five seconds in any system en route.

Is there a cap to the heat you can induce with Thermal Shock effect? I want to build a hull tank silent mode FGS like this https://eddp.co/u/mWokYZs5

I want the pulse lasers to do thermal shock, beam to do thermal vent, and the frag cannons to do dazzle. Everything gets efficient weapon and all modules are engineered for less heat for maximum silent running.

Will this work? The idea is the frag cannons with dazzle help break whatever lock they get, and the large beam laser is the thermal vent to reduce heat sink use, and the pulse lasers are not trying to damage so much as cook the other ship.
>>
Large rails when?
>>
>>168814152
You can't really toast ships any more, which was the old heatcancer meta. From the 2.2 update notes:

- Two changes aimed at rebalancing Thermal Shock and similar heat-imparting weapons:
- Ships now gain resistance to heat weapons based on spare cooling capacity (when ships are cold they're more resistant).
- Having a heatsink actively charging diverts most heat from external heat attacks straight into the heatsink, granting 90% resistance to these effects for those few seconds.
...
- Heat sink launchers now take substantially less damage from beaing overheated (down to a quarter of what it was), they are designed to be the defence against overheating after all.
- Shield resistance to heat-imparting attacks increased, and active shield will now block 50% of the effect of thermal shock weapons, up from 25%.
>>
>>168815561
I see. Thanks for that. Silent running hull tanking seems cool. Can you really get the heat low enough to make it where you are not vomiting heat sinks constantly?

Since I can't do cancer, the FAS makes more sense now, and I will probably try to maximize silent running outright like this. https://eddp.co/u/mWokYZs5

With thermal vent on beams and dazzle on the the PA and just try to be frustrating.
>>
>>168816443
>Can you really get the heat low enough to make it where you are not vomiting heat sinks constantly?

With the right weapons sure

Most SR Hull tank builds just stock up on multi cannons and dumfire missiles because they generate basically 0 heat.

If you do it in a Diamond Back Scout you can be in silent running for about 1 minute or so before you even have to consider heat sinking.

I would be fine with a supercruise overhaul, atleast change the sound effects of supercruise so it doesnt sound like I'm driving a station wagon with 300k miles on it. Also it'd be nice if they could change the way acceleration and deceleration work in supercruise because right now it just makes no sense.

Automatically recalculate the route if my jump distance changes. Don't make me open the fucking map and close it right away to force that.

A way to add multiple waypoints to the route. I'm tired of fucking opening the map to pop in the next star.

ImportExport of routes to json via clipboard. If fdev refuses to make the galaxy map plot routes intelligently and leave it so that it's less useful than modern day GPS let people just import routes calculated in external apps.

I guess I can understand where you're coming from. You're helping to advance the plot and I DO think that's neat. And the fact that it's not just a literal meter to fill is refreshing when compared to other MMOs.

However, I don't think it's worth my time to fly to the East Buttfuck system just to stare at rocks and wait for FDev to hit the progress button. They can go fucking hang themselves with each other's guts if they think THAT'S what qualifies as interesting.

If I'm seeing this right, each waypoint is a start that will boost your range? In a 52LY range Conda that would mean that I'd at most need 3 jumps to get from waypoint to waypoint.

That equates to almost a 2/3 reduction in number of jumps to get to Colonia.

I think the """lore""" kinda talks about how flying a space ship privately is something only loners/outcasts/thrill seekers do, and that's kinda the backstory of the informal pilot's federation. I'm guessing the explanation is that your average pleb lives on a planet and doesn't really go anywhere else.

Makes it kind of a grimdark backstory 2bh, we're all hyper billionaires flying around in dank space ships while 99% of humanity are stuck on planets, and we're not even the richest people out there.

>>168899969

Not neccessarily. You can do things like 17D with stock ships, I did it with a stock A-rated Vulture. Basically just stack CZ missions and go grind in CZs for tons of cash. I don't know when the last time you played was, but NPCs now scale with your combat rank and are much harder to kill and most pack railguns and PAs. I think they removed sightseeking missions because they were too fun, and you do require Horizons for planet scans. CZ missions are probably the most profitable, I made 100 million from just a few hours last night.
>>
>>168900281

Yes, lowsec lowers the rate at which sec ships spawn, so you'll have less of them diluting your spawn pool so you'll get more pirates spawning. Bring a KWS to Anarchy systems and you'll have practically all pirates.

>>
>>168900956

Because no one fully understands how it works, not even Frontier themselves. There's no surefire way to get pirates with decent bounties to spawn. Pick a system, roll the dice when you drop into the instance. If you see too many security ships or too many pirates with weak bounties, jump out and back in to reset the instance and hopefully get a better roll on your instance spawn pool. That's really the best you can do.

You don't have to be ironic to use it. I use it too when farming with others in 17D because not everyone that plays the game is from /vg/. My biggest problem in Open is that no one ever talks at all, just mindlessly mill about their business or just join wings so we can all target the same thing. Everyone uses Open as Solo and combat log when they get in trouble with actual player interaction.

Why does the Mission Board generate missions that I don't meet the reputation prerequisites for? If I leave to go complete missions and raise my reputation, when I get back, the Mission Board will have generated new missions anyway, so why bother showing me shit that's out of my league in the first place? Ontop of that, why is it that when I DO finally hit the required reputation for those more lucrative missions, they never appear?

They're coming back when they drop the next update on the 26th. However, they mentioned that they are "fixing" sightseeing and exploration missions so that people can't take a few missions to reach Elite in exploration within a week. I wouldn't keep my hopes up that you'll be able to use them reliably for exploration rank, but this is Frontier so who knows. Maybe they'll make it so it gives you Trade ranks instead of Exploration since sightseeing missions are giving you money for a service.

I always assumed you had to refine it. Then I wonder if you have to sell it or if it counts the moment it is refined znd you can immediately throw it away.
I suppose you can spend a few minutes blasting rocks without picking any up and see if the bar increases.
>>
>>168908513

You have to actually refine the ore yourself, unfortunately.

You can jettison it right after. I also suggest prospector limpets and collector limpets, as well as the best refinery you can fit on whatever you're flying

That's what happen when a Dev believe that procedurally generated variation create "contents".
Said generator must either be extremely rigid and only give safe but boring value or you end up with inconsistent/gamebreaking bug like yours (or exploit like D17)

We already know that it's the Anvil Hurricane, which initially lost the 'new starter ship' poll against the Reliant and some others. It was supposedly a light fighter that only has small hardpoints.
But then again, the Terrapin was also in that poll and back then it was both made by Aegis and a mining ship, so who knows.

Elite Dangerous has better looking ships.

Star Citizen has such disjointed and arbitrary design that half of them have had to be sent back for re-imagining and refactoring. Even the 2012 Kickstarter Cutlass and Hornet are being redesigned.

Blocky geometric space ships are cooler than the retarded designs we have in Star Citizen. This is a fact.
>>
@168911432
Neither the cutlass nor the hornet are getting redesigned you tard

SC has a few neat designs; mostly the larger ships. I like ED's ships more, though. They're bulkier and that just appeals to me more.

They don't explode when entering mass lock or initiating FTL.

You Millennial shits would never understand with your spoiled everything now now now mentality. Sit back and wait, smell the roses, take time to enjoy the way the sunlight plays over the craters of the planet you're docked on. Even though it's a feature I'd never use, I know instantaneous transfers is just another step in the wrong direction for Elite. I didn't pay all that kickstarter money so I could live your stupid dream between 40 hour work shifts. Go back to your instant gratification shooting violence games and leave me to mine.

That transfer time is actually slower than going there manually. It would have taken me 20-23 jumps to get there, and each jump takes roughly a minute assuming no fuel scooping.

>>168940361
$20 ship skins
Boosters
Memes (eggplant decals, etc)
Plus there are more weapons in the game that aren't in the cash shop. They will eventually put them all up for sale and the price will probably go up.

And there are probably dozens of alien ships in the game which they could throw on the site for whales.

There's very little of the player customization that's actually implemented yet. I don't trust CIG at all, with people like Ben on board the cash shop can get a lot worse.

Not angry, it's just the Crusader is the name of another game. Origin, as in, Original systems and Origin Jumpworks is the name of EA's online service. Those are just the two worst I could think of immediately.

>>
>>168911004
>Elite wins in ship designs easily
This is true, they're nearly all some variation on an aerodynamic egg. Which is the shape you need if you're going to cover the delicate bits of a ship in armour.

SC ships look cool but impractical, vulnerable components and surfaces everywhere. Larger cockpit windows, exposed turbines, thin support struts...stuff that would be terrible on anything facing debris or weapons fire.

At least it's clear that atmospheric flight is a thing or the wings would be pretty stupid too.

17 draconis is when 17 draconis gets to civil war you go and kill shit

quince is also a potential civil war location, but you also get surface scan missions which you stack and then go in a shitty ship and then scan the surface instillation and it completes all the quests, then you run back to your ship and then aloha snackbar into the surface of the planet and rebuy back at the station and complete all the quests. Good empire rep and money that way.

sadly no surface scan spot known for feds yet, but maybe one sometime

I honestly think Quince is a better moneymaker than 17D, depending on your faction stance/skill in combat.

I spent 90 minutes in 17D and went from 422 to 455 million, and I just spent 30 minutes going from 455 to 470 in Quince.

That's kind of why I think they're happy to give refunds.

Aside from that they're repaying 2012 $ in 2017, they've had that money for half a decade.

What can you do with $142million invested for that long?
They're could probably reinvest the interest and be self-sustaining after paying every backer out, not that they would. They definitely don't have to worry about a few refunds though and if it staves off any kind of class-action (and it would) then it's worth it.

I'd call that cost recovery but it amounts to the same thing at a bottom line level. They're talking about doing the same thing with their crowd-funding platform, whatever that all is.

They can build development resources using the funds, then lease those resources to other companies to recover costs. Post-release, those resources can be applied to new self-funded games for pure profit though they'd probably still seek donations from their target market as there's really no reason not to beg for money if it works so well.

hi, reddit

>>168991574
Hello, sekrit club.

Seriously, though: that's some quality QUALITY shit. Why didn't they just make the launch bays use the ships' ACTUAL bays? The Anaconda has an actual hangar, yet it uses that weird and unnecessary extending bay. Even in the promotional content, the Anaconda has been shown to deploy ships from the box hangar underneath it.
>>
>>168991790

I wish I knew someone at Frontier just so I could ask "Why and how?" Some of the shit that Frontier does just doesn't make any sense to me. This is one of them, I thought about it before because I was really expecting to see that hangar bay open up and I was really excited to see it. I seriously wonder if there's an actual reason behind them not using that bay or if they just literally forgot that the Anaconda has an actual launch bay.
>>

>I seriously wonder if there's an actual reason behind them not using that bay or if they just literally forgot that the Anaconda has an actual launch bay

I'd assume that some animator was under a deadline and the it was too hard to do the launch bay in the time provided. Or alternatively, they just hadn't watched that clip or read the relevant documentation and started from scratch when they needn't have.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I bought horizons but engi takes way too long to grind out for my sanity. You simply cant solo efficiently there without an engineered ship, you need other people there to help you kill/heal. There's fucking no on here, that's the issue. Gotta play during peak hours or engineer your ship

Anon, pls. I'm in a Vulture with only grade 1 mods on my multicannons and I can 17D just fine. I also have a barely modded FDS with biweaves that can eat rails for breakfast while strafing faggots. You can definitely do it but I would guess it requires a bit more work and smarts.

Go to 17D, grind the shit out, use blue zone and FA-off. When the civil war is over, get back to the bubble and engineer your shit up. Even if you're a scrub, there's no reason you can't score atleast 100mil from a day's work on 17D.
>>
>>168997662
>>168997680
Getting mixed signals here, kek. It is A-Rated, and I'm not doing too badly, it's just seemingly whenever a ship with engineer weapons targets me it strips my shields and puts me down to 50% hull and I have to run off to repair.
>>
>>168997887
You're in a Python, a terrible combat ship.

It has shitty maneuverability and won't outmaneuver shit: thus consign yourself to 4 0 2 pips. Take chaff and shield cell banks.

If you have enough rep and money, buy a gunship. Then you have a ship launched fighter which is not only good for extra dps, but distracting the enemy and making getaways. Pretty much necessary for farming in a cz.
>>
>>168997832
yep I can get 100 in a day no problem by myself, it's just that once you've been in a good wing making 100 mil every 90 minutes or so it becomes pretty disheartening to do it yourself

Don't let go. Suffer a little more until you have ~30mil to spend, then go get yourself a Vulture. I haven't had a Python ever since they nerfed it way back when, but I miss the fuck out of it. Such a fun ship to fly, definitely buying one with my 17D funbux.

Will a Vulture do well in a CZ environment? I'm guessing it's made to be manouverable as fuck, and not take hits. Could you post a good build? I have the money. I'm also using an xbot360 controller, so no fixed.
>>
>>168999610

If you're going with bi-weaves, get rid of the SCB and put on 2 module reinforcements. Your shield is going to get fucked but thankfully FDG has a monster of a hulltank so you can tank hits like they're nothing. Just learn to manage pips for when your shields go down and they come back within 10 seconds.
>>
>>168999610

You want full multicannon. Your fighter can handle shields. I wouldn't bother with the heat sink or point defence, load up more boosters if you're going to shield tank. Shove a few hull/module reenforcements into it when you've capped power from banks.

>>168999776

I just A-rate everything and slap some multicannons on it, SCB is optional. Vulture is a very easy ship to fly, and I can glue to the AI's ass and they can't hit me.

The argument of Vulture vs FDS/FDG is STR vs AGI. Do you want to be able to tank hits and dish more damage or be nimble as fuck to where you can barely be hit, but deal a little less damage?

Cheers senpai, will try it out.

>>169000586

>2 fighter bays

Why? And are fighters really that good? Whenever I try them, they just get facefucked by rails and die immediately. That and even with a 3% pay share with your crew, you end up losing a ton of money from 17D due to the ridiculous amounts of cash you're getting.
>>
>>169000586
How do I get a ship read out like that?
>>
>>169001119
Just remember that no ship outside of the big 3 will make you invulnerable in a cz. You have to pick your targets well, and avoid being the focus of attention.

If missiles are a problem, either change your armour to reactive or put some point defences on.
>>
>>169001447
Make sure you're using imperial fighters with beams. Target smaller ships in a cz first, don't use 'defend' use 'attack target' and 'fire at will' if you have a cz under control.

My fighters rarely die. I like having 2 bays because if I need to flee, I can easily deploy another in defend mode to distract ships on my tail.
>>
>>169001447

Also fighters are great at kill stealing off NPCs. Bind 'attack target' to some key and use it to get a tag on low ships far away.

oh shit nigger what the fuck are you doing

The MKIV is shit, its not an upgrade from the MKIII, which is good because fast and okay shields, the "better" hull on the IV does not make it for the poo shields its has, and the agility is way WAY worse

I fell for the MK IV too and I experienced the same, it was less combat oriented, more multirole, which did good to me because with that better jump range I started to work on that exploration rank.

You have 30m, get a Vulture, cost 3-5 millions, better shields, better hull, fast, and awesome agility, and 2 large hardpoints for those big boy multicannons

ViperMK3>Vulture>FAS if you want to combat hard, then you get the Corvette but the rank is insane tho

but shouldn't I just go for like the Anaconda or something at this point?

I only recently starting doing more combat missions, I didn't have any trouble before, maybe the ships in this system are just way better than whatever I was killing previously
>>
>>169008434
Buddy, you need 600m+ for an Anaconda

BIG ships have BIG outtfitting prices, the A grade powerplant is more expensive that the ship itself, the military bulkhead its expensive as fuck, also, don't forget rebuys, and if you have Horizons, the path to engineer it its gonna be huge too, and don't get fooled, if you get alone in a CZ and aggro too much NPCs, you are gonna get your ass handed, even with a Conda.

Don't jump into the bigger ships until you are ready, Vulture is fun and you are going to notice a nicely boost in your combat capabilities, and you can get it now, and with 30m you can outfit her nicely, good guns and good modules.

Im griding my Feds ranks now, because I love how the Corvette looks, and I know that even by selling my Conda Im gonna run short

This is what Im running with my Anaconda, look at the total costs

Don't bother with beams unless you're engineering them. Just go full gimballed multicannons, you get like 20 extra dps and less distributor strain.

yea u can transfer some modules, also if you want to sell, sell first the modules, then the ship, you get more shekels that way

The only 2 hardpoints its kinda okay, try fixed or gimballed.

Thanks, I'll try

I thought that because those two mediums hardpoints were on the sides of the ship a turreted version could come in handy

Assault ship is like the Vulture's big brother. Very maneuverable and tough but as its shields are shit its defenses are more in its armor. Combat fit with engineered reinforcements it can top 4K armor with a 250MJ biweave shield as a bumper.

The Asp Explorer is a bit of a meme here but still a good ship. I haven't flown a Keelback so I can't comment, but the Asp E is a pretty good multirole ship. As far as I can see from the wiki the main thing the Keelback has going over the Asp is the ability to mount a fighter bay, and the price tag. The Asp is superior in most other things, and it will also be easier to get around the bubble with.

Plus, once you're ready to graduate to the next ship you can keep the Asp as an explorer ship.

Buy a jump hauler and go to Quince. Buy a hangar and SRV in Millerport and stack planetary scan missions. Go for the Scan Area:Outpost targets on the planet because you can hit a data port without trespassing. It is always the opposite side of the landed ship. Once you complete one scan, all 20 scans complete and you can either go back to cash in, or self destruct to save time.

You can make 20-30m/hr easy.

One way to speed it up if you want to self destruct is to land within range of the outpost and trespass on purpose then go back to the ship. As soon as you enter, they will finish your ship off in seconds.

It is always the opposite side of the landed ship" is I've never done a planetetary scan mission, is it basically just accept mission go to specified planet, scan the out post but don't get to close then go return data to mission giver?

Don't worry about trespassing you won't get attacked if you're quick enough

there's only one planet the missions ever send you to and it's right next to the port, you use your Scanner or get close enough and it'll show you where to start searching

then you disembark, get out your SRV, scan all the points in the area just to be safe, get back in your ship and self destruct

sending you straight back to millerport with all the missions completed

Alight awesome thanks for the info
>>
>>169037332
I didn't bookmark the video, maybe someone else did. There is only one thing to do on planetary scan missions. You have to land, deploy the srv, drive up to the base, and scan a data point. Once you do one mission, my comment will make sense. Just land on the opposite side of the ship you will see parked next to the outpost.

When you leave Millerport and get within 12mm of the planet, a shitload of target will appear. They will either be Scan Area:Building, or Scan Area: Outpost. Either will actually work, but Outpost is quicker for self destructing.

How does that shirt not cut you when it is that edgy?

Why does your character look better than mine?

Mine looks like it has leukemia.

How the fuck am I getting shredded in AC so quickly? I haven't found which weapons will finish a ship in less than a second, but others apparently have. I have a F7C loaner and a Cutlass. I might as well hold up a sign that says "Pls Don't"

What is the meta for AC now? Is there any point in trying without a SH or Sabre?
>>
>>169038068
I'm uploading a video right now

I just scan everything as sometimes I had 1-3 missions that weren't completed by only scanning one data point

how do you even change your outfit? I can't figure out how to take off my jacket
>>
>>169038474
Probably the bandanna
>>
>>169039479
To take off the jacket you have to find the default one somewhere in the shop and select "unequip" with F

Or, buy a new jacket, and then unequip it.

>this would be everyday normal shit if the game wasnt constantly going full tryhard mode muh risk muh anarchy everywhere BLAZE YOUR OWN TRAIL UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN

AC is genuinely not worth playing, there's always some cancermeme loadout and there's very little actual skill, in a FFA especially right now since the ship FOV is fucked and you can't see half the displays.

Combat "skill" in this game is 90% quickly ganking someone who is distracted attempting to gank someone else.

I thought I was just salty about AC but seeing you sum it up I feel a bit better.

My experience was charging in to a battle and people chasing each other, and my weapons doing very little damage to fast-moving targets.

It was really boring. Then I got 1-hit several times from the same person and I pretty much decided it had cheaters in it and I quit. I've tried it several times and the TTK is way too high.

Funny how Star Marine is a lot better than AC.

There, whole process takes me about 8 minutes

I also don't know how to make the barrels unload before they start to heavily impact performance

>>169041271

they should unload when you switch modes, which you should be doing a lot at quince

Jesus awesome

>>169042042
I just cycle the mission board and new missions pop up

What does Cycling do? I'm being very lazy about this farming, and doing it pretty casually just leaving the game running in the background while I do other things waiting for more missions to appear
>>
>>169042442

missions are not shared between open, private group and solo modes

if you've emptied solo of missions, or don't want the ones spawned there, you can go into open to find new ones etc
>>
>>169043478
Aren't people just going to murder a shieldless Hauler in open?
>>
>>169043636

you don't need to go anywhere in it

just switch mode while sitting on the pad, and if you find any in open/you are filled up with missions, just switch back into solo and do them
