If I melt everything on my account and rebuy a package

I won't lose anything, will I?

>>123913787
Sometimes you will loose LTI if you the package you buy doesn't have it. Though you could just buy a cheap package that has an LTI ship and cross chassis upgrade it into what ever you want.

Short answer, no.
Long answer: what does it taste like to eat out and 80 year old woman? Depends

wow I am trying ED and I'm already getting bored in the tutorial

but the cockpit/menu interaction is amazing. I hope SC works half as well. Currently, shit is fucked.

>>123918742
I agree that the tracks were fucking stupid, but switching from the original intake design to Sasha Grey's gaping anus was just not necessary. Also they streamlined the entire hull for le aegis family face.

Can't really say I'm happy, but we'll see. At least the cockpit and straight wings are confirmed fixed, or at least being worked on.

>>123918742
>>123919225
I'd like to see wheels instead of skids, but aside from that I think it looks nicer overall, counting the upcoming wing angle fix.

Is it solely for RP reasons to wait in space for help or do you get severely penalized for respawning?

Got into the PTU with my mediocre DSL connection, will I be able to play the game before another 10gb patch?

>>123921864
You'll have to wait for a period of time, then either a NPC will automatically get you to the nearest planet/spacestation Fade to black, instant respawn or you get saved by players if you aren't too heavily wounded you can wander in the ship then leave with an insurance ship you get at their endeavour/closest station/planet.

Getting saved by players can help you minimize damages to your character, only a portion of your character reputation will carry over to the next of kin. If you are among the biggest pirates/best bounty hunters/ etc it matters.

Can anyone with PTU access confirm or deny the ability to take rented ships or weapons into the PTU?

2.0 is a pretty far leap from the mind bogglingly shitty Arena Commander, so you might enjoy it.

I think I saw a post on Reddit (had to go on there to follow the steps to play 2.0 offline) and someone said they had brought a rented ship into the PTU.

Get Mustang Beta now, fly it around and have fun in your hobo space van.

When the 300i gets redesigned you can just CCU to it if it ends up being cool.

>>123947914
There's more to like about the Beta than the paint job. The interior is hands-down the best they've made so far.

>>123947974
So if I CCU to a Mustang to dick around in the PTU with basically my pledge stays the same except the ship, and I can change back later?

>>123948148
Changing it back later is how it WILL work, I'm not sure it's set up that way right now, but the functionality is going to be there eventually. But if you CCU to something, you should be able to CCU back as long as they're equivalent prices.

I haven't used their new system much, though, so I could be wrong, but that's how they've advertised it.

>>123948148
Yeah it just changes the ship and package content is the same. But you can only reverse it if the price is the same

Hey /scg/, I have a question.

I've been skeptical about buying Star Citizen because it just seems like an insane wet dream game of mine, and a lot of people it seems. I just thought it was too good to be true.

I've recently looked at the recent PTU 2.0 footage, and I was just wondering what's currently there and playable? I'm considering dipping my money in and purchasing a starter pack.

So just to sum up real quick; what's playable right now and what starter pack would you recommend?

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Combos/Wing-Commander-Digital

>>123953198
If you've watched PTU footage surely you know roughly whats in there and playable, anon?

Crusader area, with quantum jumps to areas, missions, ship to ship combat, FPS / EVA, Multicrew, all that nice stuff.

Then you have Arena Commander, the arena mode for racing, PvE and PvP.

Just get whatever you feel like spending on the game, friend. With REC and hopping into other people's ships you can quickly get into the bigger better ships if you want to.

>>123953553
Can I steal ships right now if I were to get into PTU?

I-it seems too good to be true..

I GOT MY PTU INVITATION !

Funny. It's really random. I've like maybe 5 hours in AC and an hour in Social.

>>123953765
Yes, you can.

>>123953119

>>123953801
WHAT STARTER PACK SHALL I BUY

I am enlisting as soon as possible

a-are there any drawbacks i should know about..? other than probably not getting into the PTU

>>123953904

No persistence between sessions. You can't keep a ship you steal after you logout.

>>123953968
That's alright, I presume that'll be added in eventually.

So the game is indeed making stable progress?

The delays kind'a worried me.

Is the Mustang a good package to start off with?

>>123953904
the 'Starter Packs' are defunct now, they used to be packages that offered alpha access tokens, but its available to everyone know. But I think they're still the cheapest game packages. Don't buy a standalone ship, doesn't come with the game.

but, yeah. You're buying a game in alpha. Its not optimized and there will be lots of bugs / imbalance. Saying otherwise would be a lie.

This
>>123953968
for now, is also true. Though you can rent things to your account and keep them through gameplay until we have in-game currency and persistence and can buy them outright.

If you want a package, just spend as much as you want to, anon. Its all the same shit.

Mustang is like a glass cannon, Auroras are tougher high-cargo ships. Avoid the 300 series.

yes

Thanks for answering my questions!

Going to go ahead and buy the package now.

>>123954139
yep, that's the best package to start with, also you can swap it with the aurora for free at any time with CCU should you want to try a beefier ship with missiles n shiz.

also you can actually play 2.0 right now alone in your own little private server using pretty much all the flyable ships using the pastebin in the OP.

Fucking CIG, fucking ruining the goddamned Vanguard? Why is it a retarded looking Retaliator? Ruining yet another ship after they fucked up the Retardilator.

Star Citizen is now being ported to DX12. Words fail me..
While you were sleeping, news broke that the folks over at the Star Citizen camp were in the process of porting the entire custom engine (built on top of CryEngine3)...to DX12.

Seriously. This news broke over night; and I'm still stumped.

This for a game which, by all accounts and going from the recently rushed 2.0 pre-Alpha release, is so far off that only the whales still putting money into it have any hopes that they will ever see a game.

$100m (triple-A title budget) crowd-funded, and over 4 years later, nothing but a glorified proof-of-concept tech demo exists.

My guess is that, if they survive 2016, the next big piece of news is that the game is going to be ported to Xbox One.

Not to mention the fact that this article confirms my suspicion that this is still a 32-Bit game with zones. NOT a seamless 64-Bit universe as has been pitched. It's all right there on p6. And that has **very** serious implications for the game and those who are expecting a seamless universe as has been pitched.

I mentioned that here last week.

At this point, nothing further needs to be said. I'm just going to watch what comes next.

Didn't they say that the 64bit big world, whatever they called it, was supposed to be ready for August 2015? Did they give any explanations for the delays?

I can't play the game and haven't kept up that much with its news since last year, so I may be wrong.

That's not a result of 32bit but of the retarded thrusters that keep accelerating you and the maneuvering thrusters keeping decelerating you in the other direction to not exceed the speed limit instead of just shutting down. You can see your thrusters all light up when in cruise and you can fucking fly kilometers away from a POI and once you slow down the stuttering stops while you retain cm precision flying around or hit the pedal to the metal right in a POI and the helmet jitters like crazy.

yes, an area the size of which wouldn't be viable if this was 32-bit.

Clearly you have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
You'd know if it was an issue with it not being 64-bit if you'd flown out of the map boundaries in previous version of AC.

Any 'jitter' which only SOME people get and not even all of the time, has nothing to do with them supposedly 'cheating' 64-bit.

>Sorry, but I need a more concrete evidence here.
What evidence do you want? I took a P52 and flew in a straight line for minutes away from Port Olisar at cruise speed, if you slow down the shaking stops, if you speed up it starts again. If you stop you can just exit the ship and float around freely without any shaking and the same precision you have right on port olisar. There is no precision lost, if it was indeed a 32bit world space you and your ship would have to be fucking teleporting dozens of meters everywhere constantly so far out from the center. But it didn't. After that I could just turn the ship around again and fly back. You can believe me or try it yourself you will come to the same results and should draw your conclusions from that and not what some faggot who never developed a game that doesn't crash every 2 minutes tells you.

Hey /scg/ do we know how the detection/stealth mechanics work in this game? I'm planning on spying on people in the Herald and was speculating its effectiveness and hiding.

God damn the Star Citizen lore is cringeworthy
>United Humanity
>Roman Empire clone
>Aliens have names that sound like a phlegm being expelled
>All of them are unoriginal lizardmen #5925
I can't find anything to justify being rused by this hype train disaster

>>123973884
Detection/Stealth are based purely on signature across the EM/IR/CS spectrums.

Ship components generate certain amounts of each, all the way down to mav thrusters. There are lower-signature versions, but they tend to be less effective at what they do.

Your ship's hull has a CS (cross section) value to radar depending on your orientation and ship, which can be masked by low-observable armor. Which, like components, protects you less from damage.

You can power down components, or even your entire ship, and reduce your EM/IR signature greatly, which may be low enough to be invisible among the background EM/IR signature of local space. Currently its a fixed value, but in the future things like the Terraformers will generate background EM/IR and mask detection.

The above is all in the game right now.

What is coming is the full radar system, with active/passive scanning, and proper balancing for detection distances, proper background signatures, and more.

>>123974329
>>123973884
Oh, and regarding the Herald; considering its massive thrusters and heavy computer banks, it probably generates a lot of EM/IR when switched on and moving. Its a data runner first and foremost, not a stealthy spy ship.

Couldn't say for sure, though.

the gameplay looks exactly the same as oolite with better graphics. What were people expecting?

I can't even get into the game world. It returns that Disconnect Error 4: Server full thing or whatever it is.

I think I read their instance manager is pretty much dead in the water right now so we'll have to wait for a patch.

GIM is borked.
The servers are fine and stable, it's just no one can log into a server, it'll just crash you.

A new build is being internally tested.

Welcome to the PTU enjoy your stay.

I did play 2 hours of the game a few hours ago.
Just need to bruteforce the thing.

I'm going to play Edgy Dangerous for the first time, I bought it on steam so Braben gets even less money.

>>123987595
See you in 2 hours. You'll have experienced all the game has to offer by then.

>>123988484
I know, I do like space trucking, so I hope I get my 12€ of content.

When the stars align, maybe

I'd like to, are you one?

how is the combat and mechanics in ED? would it be good if they simply had a smaller number of systems? how many NPC pirates and stuff do you encounter?

>>123989454
Combat is alright but the linear progression of ships is stupid. Be prepared to grind for dozens of hours to afford objectively superior combat ships. Same goes for trading.

And there's no shortage of NPC pirates to shoot up but their AI is pretty retarded so they don't put up much of a fight.

That's what you get when you use p2p instead of actual servers

my friends list has a few dozen commanders on it, and they come and go.

>>123989324
i can offer steadfast combat support, though i'm hesitant at any attempt to transfer funds. last time i tried a few million credits in consumer technology literally exploded in the process. anacondas are not worth robbing it seems.

drops in the bucket and i learned something. well worth the price.

>>123989454
npcs are everywhere and you'll find varying densities of players around and about. beware of what you engage AI or not, though. i love the combat passionately.

>>123989942
I don't want free money, don?t worry, just some coop.

I'd play E:D if it didn't actually require me to grind for literal days for some of the higher tier ships.

Probably not for long, but I'd at least dick around in the various ships for a few hours.

add CMDR Plaxinov. i'll be on in a short bit here.

the notion of a goods injection will seem laughable when we start pulling bounties somewhere.
