why you gotta start shit so early in the thread? You know where, ten minutes.

Literally LITERALLY never.

>>173081194
Where did "space legs" even originate

Because I'm being told that it was never promised or even alluded to, just assumed

ITT let's predict Star Citizen metacritic reviews.

4/10 - not playing again until this crap gets patched

So basically, your character dies and you lose all your progress and have to create another character and start all over again. What is this crap? Diablo was like 20 years ago or whatever.

There is no sense of progression, no reward system, no investment in to character, no point in doing any reputation stuff because it gets wiped on death.

Iron sights. Enough said. What is this crap? This isn't 2002. And why does the gun jerk all over the screen when firing? How come they have laser based weapons and yet can't find anything to reduce recoil of ballistics?

Oh and don't get me started on this grind bullshit. Hundreds of millions of credits to buy the big fun ships, and the shit elitist community with the "only my org should have access to good stuff" mentality.

Annoying animations. No, I don't want to watch my character get out of bed every time I log in. And I don't think it's interesting to watch a cutscene of walking up some steps to get in my ship.

Also, it takes too long to get anywhere. You're basically stuck in one part of the game unless you spend like 20 hours jumping and refueling to get to a more interesting star system.

It's been alluded to in writing before, but then again Frontier is pretty shit at actually confirming or properly describing upcoming functions in the game until very shortly before release.

Probably more some people just don't like the slowdown it can potentially introduce, and the fact that seemingly every game uses them nowdays because they call want to cash in on the cowwadoots crowd

Iron sights slow the game down dramatically.

>>173087212
Thats not an inherently bad thing

>>173087212
>>173086978
I understand how that might be a problem in something like Quake or Unreal Tournament but that sounds like a non-issue in large scale, slower paced games.

>>173087212
SC is more of a tactical shooter than an arena shooter. Boarding a ship should be more like a round of Counterstrike or Rainbow Six than a round of Overwatch. If you really disagree with that then I don't know what to say to you.

>>173087897

"Whoa hold on there, this TTK is way too low, I'm getting shot left, right and centre. I swear I even set my mouse sensitivity to 600, everyone is a cheater"

>>173089810
That is actually a reasonable answer.
I can see how that's a problem.
As long as you don't introduce stupid shit like that though iron sights is simply the most realistic way to do it so I just can't wrap my head around why people would hate them.

>>173090358
Iron sights simply marked the end of fast-paced arena shooters and the beginning of endlessly slow casual console shooters with kill streaks, death streaks and generally badly designed everything.

>>173090601
There were plenty of "fast paced arena shooters", people just didn't buy them.

Its not really the fault of ironsights and similar features if people just stop being interested in Quake.

>>173090601
So you dislike them not for being bad but for being generally associated with bad practices?
Also what is the better alternative to iron sights? Just 24/7 hip fire?

>>173090842
>Just 24/7 hip fire?
Non-intrusive optics, hip fire, and it would be interesting to see independent firing from torso orientation, like swinging your arms around like holding down ctrl while aiming.

>muh huge iron sights and slow """tactical""" gameplay

>>173090764
Nobody said it's the fault of iron sights, it's just that iron sights are the common factor of such games. Of course it's actually the dumbass no-skill console audience lapping up bad game design and not wanting to play games that have "nothing to unlock".
>>173090842
I just explained that iron sights are iconic for those games, not that I like or dislike them myself.

>>173091023
>Non-intrusive optics
When people say "ironsights" you realize they don't actually mean just literal irons, right

Its a shorthand for ADS, be that reflex, holo, whatever.

The difference between that and actual ironsights is absolutely nothing, however. I have no clue what you're even talking about at this point

>swinging your arms around while firing a weapon
Wew, good thing you're not involved in any game's development cause that's just plain retarded.
As for "non intrusive optics and hip fire" first I don't get what's intrusive about iron sights, you can just make the animation really quick, and the whole criticism is sounding a lot like Quake players who never got over the fact that FPS games moved away from superfast arena shooters to realistic, slower paced games.
Pretty much a non-issue.

Literally what purpose would that serve? It's completely pointless and would be impossible to control comfortably, except in VR games obviously.

>>173091873
You literally want the player to stop turning in favor of aiming inside of his currently visible window. That's just bad.

So you hold down Ctrl and your mouse is now controlling your arms instead of your torso. What does that mean for the torso? It remains pointing in the same direction. Fucking mongoloid.

This discussion supports my belief that FD are some of the greatest Visionaries in gaming. And also some of the worst coders.

They have great ideas.....but they dont have the programing skill to implement their vision (or make it run without crashing or disconnecting every 5 minutes).

They also have their priorities twisted. I read that FD had "a whole team working on the cmdr creator for over a year". This seemed like a gross misappropriation of resources considering how many other areas of the game could have benefited from that extra manpower(milticrew especially). But they saw the potential to make more money without actually providing anything meaningful or gameplay related(or fixing what was broken). So....dont worry......multicrew may be a shadow of what was promised......but they made sure you can buy a 5 dollar colored jacket for your cmdr.....and dont forget the tattoos.......BAKA

Your first priority should be to scavenge resources from another ship using the cargo menus. After that, build up your base. After that, find people to shoot because that is all there is to do.

>>173100658

>FD are some of the greatest Visionaries in gaming

If they were great visionaries, they wouldn't have bothered adding multicrew until more systems were fleshed out to actually support it. What even is multicrew? It's a shitty minigame that will be fun for maybe 30 minutes and serves no purpose other than be a tacky gimmick so they can say "look, we're encouraging multiplayer!" Frontier are fucking idiots, through and through, don't let them fool you.

>hmm... how do we add more things for players to do while letting them improve their flight?
>i know! lets add npcs that let you upgrade your ship by collecting mats
>great! other games have done the same thing!

Yeah, it sounds like a great idea, but they spent no time at all in thinking how these systems would impact the game as a whole instead of simply letting players upgrade their ship performance by some arbitrary percentage. See: the heat meta fiasco and heal beams. Frontier's horribly simplistic and naive methods of game design is how we ended up with update after update of endless mounds of shit like Powerplay, CQC (which is fucking dead), Engineers, and now Multicrew.

Oh. I was blind and thought the cockpit was at the front of the ship instead of on the side. So the situation is marginally less of a disaster than I was imagining. I thought they had to push through the entirety of all the cargo bays (presumably full of obstacles) to get to their guns.

How many cargo crews are going to be horribly murdered by pirates before they think to do some redecorating?

>>173113831
Their reasoning for shitty turret placement and other horrible design decisions is that "it gives the ships character", so it's probably not gonna change.

Unfortunately for CIG, poor design choices isn't 'Character'.
Ship components which draw the eye or shapes and design philosophies unique to a particular vendor is. This 'character' just means you either need some tard fully geared up wandering the halls on the off chance something occurs which is just stupid.
If you have a boat full of randos, you don't want them geared up at all times, you want them stowing all firearms and shit in a place you know and control. If someone boards, the bridge is the place you want to co-ordinate and mount your defence from.

Everything is a balancing nightmare.
Rockets now more than missiles no more than mass drivers, no more than infinite ammo energy weapons.

Rockets like big fat missiles are a high alpha low ammo weapon. They're cheap but you have to get relatively close and line up the shot. Something like a gladiator with 5 S5 torps and a shitload of rockets is precisely the reason larger slower ships will fly with a fighter escort. The fighter isn't there to kill attacking hornets, they cant really hurt something like a Hull D alone anyway. The escort fighter is there to keep the gladiator or other strike bomber from getting close enough to accurately dump all its rockets into the engines.

>>173125951
They quite clearly have different amounts of rockets on the same size pylon, anon.

Rockets aren't going to go into exactly the same size category that weapons and missiles do

>>173125842
Infinite ammo energy weapons are easier to balance because they overheat and the damage isn't out of line with a standard weapon of their size. Can't penetrate shields, low alpha strike.

Missiles, sure they do pretty good damage but not insane amounts, and for the really hefty ones you only can carry a couple at most. Their damage is always going to be low(er) because they have tracking and are piss easy to employ, don't want them to have great damage either.

Mass drivers are probably the worst of the three, but even then their rate of fire is low and the damage isn't anything incredible.

Meanwhile rockets are very high damage, and don't overheat. They have really high alpha strike, and to balance that out have really slow projectiles, but this doesn't factor in when hitting larger targets. They're the worst offenders for throwing balance out, by far.

Look, I understand your concerns about shitposting, and even share them as hard as that is to believe.

Unfortunately CR and Braben have conspired to hamstring our discussion, at least temporarily, by not controlling their companies and letting the games spin out of control over bullshit that should be a non issue in both cases. edg and scg are both waiting for the next shoe to drop, and there isn't anything of consequence to talk about right now.

The three alternatives then are to rehash old shit, shitpost, or let the thread die. It's been stated several times that most people are just waiting on the next update anyway, so why not join in on the absurdity, instead of 50 replies of 'bump'. Most of us have a sense of humor about it.

Where? Not sitting through levelcap's garbage

One of the bugs was that the ironsights were functioning as they actually do in real life, leading people to not do a proper hold and "aiming" for the head but are in actual fact pointing their gun at someone's chest, I hope you know that. At least for the only gun that was worth using, the ballistic rifle.

>At least for the only gun that was worth using, the ballistic rifle.
He's using pew-pew laser, you can see pretty much every laser "pellet" hitting people square in the head.

And I don't see any proofs in your rebuttal, still waiting for those videos.

Boo fucking hoo, what a drama queen. As a creator you need to know where to take the high road. Going public about that shit instead of keeping it personal or maybe quietly contacting his lawyer or authorities is what a kid in school would do. And he or his lawyers understood how retarded his decision was, that's exactly why the thing died out as soon as Escapist told him to piss off.

Fact : Cargo ship don't have stairs leading from the dock to the conning tower.
Fact : The CIC and conning tower of warship are also behind a lot of twisty corridors all alike.
Fact : Landing-ship aren't made to have their captain debark with the troops.
Fact : Almost all large military aircraft ask you to pass by the cargo area or sometime the bomb bay to get to the cockpit, at best you can get in airliner by the front landing gear and through the avionic bay
Fact : With older military plane the engineering room was part of the cockpit.
Fact : Factory ship and offshore platform don't have better access either except to safety pods
Speculation : you'll love the design when the UEE troops of a Q-ship board your Caterpillar and you must eject the cockpit before they reach you.

You are just a idiot for expecting the captain of a cargo ship to get his private elevator.
What's next? You believe you should be able to hop into an Idris pilot seat like it's a golf cart?

The commander creator is the greatest thing for the dads, it feeds into the daddelusion. They can now literally make themselves in the game (but younger, less fat and with more hair) and can really imagine themselves working a second job as a space trucker. It gives them a reason to take their boner pills to rub one out while they imagine sitting in that chair with the feeling of that brightly colored form fitting space suit they paid extra for rubbing against their dead crotch in a way their wife never did.

It always rusltes my jimmies a little when people talk about "how can this or that ship possibly be viable? It loses to a superhornet in combat!" "No ones going to fly freelancers because pirate sabres will bully them!"

Single seat combat purist fighters are probably going to be the rarest things flown in universe simply because the only people who will be flying them profitably are hired security and thats going to be a massively boring job. What sort of pirate goes pirating in a ship with no room for stolen goods.

>>173177371
>What sort of pirate goes pirating in a ship with no room for stolen goods.

Probably one with a pirate hauler to scoop it up

it remains to be seen if they'll balance things well enough for it not to be worth just bringing the most fuck-you-alpha-strike superhornet and something with peashooters and plenty of room, or two multirole vessels.

Right now I'd put my money on the former, but things change.

A pirate that intends to steal the cargo ship as well?

Bucc owner here. It doesn't need a buff, it's already a fucking beast and in fact I wouldn't mind if it got nerfed.
I feel really bad when fighting Avengers because the Avenger used to be my favorite ship but it's pretty sad how underpowered it is compared to the Bucc.

And that's about it.

>>173182724
Yeah but in terms of firepower it's just pathetic. I know it's not meant to be an incredible fighter but this is just ridiculous. You have that retarded peashooter which you can't even swap for a better gun and the only thing to make up for it is the high speed and maneuverability but it's still inferior to the Buccaneer in that regard. Not to mention the fact that the cockpit displays are STILL not in your FOV with no plans to fix that AFAIK.

>>173182910
>You have that retarded peashooter which you can't even swap for a better gun

Tigerstreik T-21 has the best DPS of any S3, and its better than a few S4s.

You also pay for combat ability in trade for a cargo hold, like I said.

>>173182243
and abandon his shiny fighter? And how is he going to steal a disabled ship. A trader isn't going to just hand you his ship because you threatened him. You're gonna have to disable him to board and if you've done that, you wont be flying the ship away after.

>>173182746
There's no webbers in SC, no tackling mechanics to hold someone down and demand money. Piracy is going to be a game of sniping engines without destroying cargo, then stealing the cargo.

>>173183086
>Tigerstreik T-21 has the best DPS of any S3
Yes but it's seriously undermined buy the huge delay between user input and actually firing, plus the DPS is highly diluted in the super high rate of fire, meaning to actually do any damage you have to perfectly lock your target and not let the pip move ever, which is impossible.

>You also pay for combat ability in trade for a cargo hold, like I said.
I understand, and I'm not expecting it to be perfectly on par with a Sabre or Buccaneer, but right now it's more like it doesn't stand a chance *at all*.

Quantum interdiction was confirmed ages ago

>>173183391
yeah meaning you''' be able to knock someone out of QD by some means and attack them.
and they'll be able to fly free of the QD "obstacle and jump again. It's not like you'll be able to just turn off someones Qdrive and demand things.

probably 90% of the ships you tr to tackle are just going to run away. the other 10% are going to fight. The job of a pirate is going to be either win the fight, fight in a place where a QD jump is not easy due to obstacles like and asteroid belt and disable them before they can escape or tackle people in open space and be marksman enough with your weapons to cripple their ships before they can escape without just using all the Dakka and blowing the shit out of everything including the cargo you want to steal.

Quantum interdiction means pulling someone out of warp with an obstruction either real or simulated and then maneuvering a ship in front of them to keep their ability to jump obstructed. Why do you think all the freighters have such massive forward guns which they will never be able to hold on an evading target? It's to blast their jump vector clear and escape.

>>173183391
Interdiction isn't webbing though. Webbing is EVE terminology detailing the massive reduction in speed of ships. In SC it's basically holding a ship stationary or slow enough to allow boarding.

>>173183126
If he can still turn a profit after buying a new fighter once he liquidates the cargo and cargo ship, then yes. He might very well abandon his shiny fighter.

However the more likely scenario is that a pirate who's piloting a purebred fighter craft isn't going to be a lone actor. He'll be working as part of a squad where dedicated combat craft disable the prey so that a support vessel can safely be brought in. That support vessel will either be bringing the cargo capacity to haul away some of the goods, or a boarding team for capturing the target ship.

I also have a hard time believing that there will be no way in the game to macgyver some life back into the engines or else the game is going to have a huge problem with trolls who shoot out engines 24/7 for the lolz.
