Close.

Enjoy your vaporware cvcks

>>124798215

The Delta is cool, but it's overpriced for what it is. The Aurora LN is everything the Delta is, plus it holds cargo, can mount a heavier shield, and is $30 cheaper.

>>124798434
But its RARE

Oh wait, thats bad

>>124798215
I have that little bastard, but Im not sure that I feel muh rare ships, considering their insurance will take longer than standard issue ships, and Delta is going to be very prone to getting exploded.

On the bright side its a small ship, that might help with Insurance. Yeah, it would be nice to hear more information about game mechanics...

>>124798434
LN isn't half as quick as the delta is. And it just BEGS to be missiled.

>>124799005
It has a very comfy dual airlock tho, for gettin in and out easyly, and is gonna be cheap as fuck to insure.

>>124798434
Why not have both?

>>124799359
Because if you're spending that much money there are better ships

>>124799860
I take ships that I like, not the best ones and right now I like the Delta and LN.

I don't get this whole minmaxing of ships, get the ships you like and keep them instead of picking it because X ships are with a billion size 10 gimbal mounts and 20 size 7 missile racks but fly like garbage and look like shit.

>>124800142
I agree, its just we dont know how long insurance times are going to be for in general.

It would be ugly to wait for a Delta replacement the same amount of time for lets say a Freelancer, just because its a limited ship.

>>124804835

It's broke. Come back when 2.0 is in general release.

>>124804835
>>124805172

If you want a customized loadout, make sure its all REC.

Put whatever garbage meme cannons you want on your ship, DO NOT load ammo or missiles.

Load up a spectrum match, get into a lobby, select a ship other than the one you want, press okay. Now select the ship you do want, and press okay.

You will now load in to a spectru match with that loadout.

If you mount ammo, use guns from other ships that you own, or sneeze, you will load in with the default loadout.

>>124805286
This works in 1.3?

Why do you think I hate it?

>>124811506
I don't hate it. I myself plan to destroy other ships with friends just for fun, and do other things for money.

I hope the nullsec space in SC will have plenty of NPC orgs to mess around with. Being an arms dealing organization sounds cool as fuck.

>how you want your Idris loadout, senpai?

What would CIG do if some people, like anon above, were dedicated to just destroying other ships, but only in nullsec areas?

what's up with the banu merchantmen? it's relatively old, but the didn't even touched it.

I would like to see at least some more concept art.

>>124813495
I wonder how much player driven economy/content will be in the game in the end. Like will you be able to have a station or something and sell your shit there? Would be really nice but I kinda doubt it.

So your bounty would rise higher and higher? Will they ever bend to careers and send some super NPC squad?

>>124815267
Yeah

Do you think taxi/personell-transport between players will be a thing in this game?

It seems like in most games this doesn't ever happen. Everyone always have a vehicle that can take them everywhere and being transported will almost always get you killed and costs more than it's worth.

The only game I can remember that ever had a working player "transport" system was Guild Wars 1 where people would guide others through areas for a fee, but this was usually just to skip grindy areas.

>>124818038
Constellation Phoenix and Genesis Starliner are both a thing

>>124797817
>>124814618
The best part? Its going to be modular to a some degree..You can change the dropship module, and take a prisoner module, or long range scanning etc..

>>124818038
Depends on the mechanics.

Do you remember the days of shuttle waiting in SWG? It was 1 shuttle 5-7minutes I think.

>>124818448
Yes, but will players take use of / offer these kind of services?

Will there be something that prevents or discourages a player from taking his own ship to the destination, and will the price on a transport service be low enough to allow passengers to pay without becoming broke and the pilot/crew to make a profit from the job?

This is all very much down the line, I get that.

You shouldnt need to "catch" or intercept with Redeemer..its a fuckton heavy but agile gunboat, no?

Also currently the speeds we know mostly consist of small size ships. You cant and shouldnt catch a small ship with a larger ship, unless its a specialized fuckery.

I don't get why people try to compare a civilian long hauler with a military dropship. Is it because CIG had to pull the S4s off the Freelancer and slap them onto the Redeemer because owners cried about muh gunship?

I hope Star Citizen will have an as comfy ship as the Normandy SR2 from ME2.

What use are "Explorer" ships going to have in Star Citizen?

With the limited number of systems planned, it seems like there will be little "unknowns" to explore.

2.0 is actually fun and playable until I disconnect every time after a few minutes

also I love how easy quantum travel is compared to the bullshit in ED. It makes sense for in-system travel to be easy mode and inter-system travel to be more difficult unlike ED where it's ass backwards.

I hope you still have to pilot the worm tunnels even if they've been discovered before. Maybe less difficult if you have data.

>>124839050

So your currently-flyable options are the Hornet and the Gladius, or you can wait for the Sabre.

The Gladius is good because if you have spare missile racks (from an Avenger or another Gladius) then you can have 8 S2 missiles. The guns are small but dealing mixed damage is nice. Just wish they would allow gimballed weapons to align with each other instead of using one crosshair or the other.

The Hornet is not as fast, but it's a bit tougher and if you like fixed guns then the S3 Gatling guns are pure bullshit. I don't know if they're still planning to give the Hornet 8 S2 missiles and gimballed S3 guns on the wings, but if they do then it is going to be fucking terrifying.

>>124839101
I started playing EVE again four months ago pretty regularly and I've yet to be "griefed" in the game that carebears hold up as an example of why they need pvp sliders and private instances and hand-holding by CR himself.

The truth is there are going to be millions of unimportant idiots like yourself flying around with nothing valuable and hugging high-security space. Your chances of somebody randomly deciding that your hypothetical tears are worth his time and his ship are pretty small.

Sabre looks sexy tho, very very sexy, but its not release yet.

Hornet or Gladius is the way to go for dogfighting, as of now.

>>124839913
Exactly this. If you ask for trouble you will find it in space. It is deffinately not gonna be like wild west everywhere.

>>124839913
you underestimate the high value commodity that is tears

>>124839704
I'm playing on a HOTAS primarily, I find it more fun though not as effective as point and click. That being said, fixed guns seem to work better, though hopefully I'm the future they'll have a track IR solution for gimbals. Hornet is sounding pretty good, I already miss my super hornet, guess I'll be waiting for the next sale. I'm hoping the Sabre is good but I'll wait to try it before investing in it. Lti means very little to me

>>124840128

>track IR solution for gimbals

I can only imagine that being a complete mess.

Solving the joystick gimbal problem is actually really simple. All they need to do is set gimbals to align their point of impact with that of the fixed weapons.

This change would improve the game for every single-seat fighter, for every controller. It has been suggested plenty of times and completely ignored.

They outright said they're never doing it.

>>124841431

Why the fuck not?

I love the vision behind this game and the flight mechanics are shaping up well, but holy shit the very basics of the combat system still need so much work.

POI alignment solves like 3 or 4 big problems with AC/PTU right now, why the fuck would they not do it?

what patch we on the PTU? and what patch is the one Chris worked on?

>>124841764
because CIG are incompetent.

This isn't anything new.

>>124841830

PTU is 2.0.0J, I think the stability patch is K but can't confirm 100%.

>>124841764
So there it some skill behind having to take down someone's shields with energy weapons, then having to shift your aim to hit them with ballistics to punch through armor.

apparently.

Rather than just lining up one and being able to switch quickly and easily between the two damage types.

Theres also the fact that it would allow IM mode to fire slow-projectile ballistic weapons with even more accuracy, which would be utter shit.

>>124840816
I can see how that would be. Maybe eye tracking in later iterations of VR?

>>124842775
Extremely unlikely to ever be implemented, and requires a large investement into hardware.

Gimbals will be balanced through other means for sure, that may make it superfluous.

>>124841959

This design encourages monoboats and head-on charges, neither of which make for an interesting game.

The current system also means that gimballed weapons can only be used with a mouse. I use mouse myself but holy shit, how badly do you have to fuck up to have such a core part of the combat system be completely useless to all but one input device?

>Theres also the fact that it would allow IM mode to fire slow-projectile ballistic weapons with even more accuracy, which would be utter shit.

It would allow everyone to use more weapons at once. IM naturally gets more firing opportunities than RM, so I can see how this would help IM more, but that is going to be the case until they solve the whole IM vs RM problem with redesign instead of throwing minuscule nerfs at IM.

Watching the live stream. For those waiting on salvage info Randy just said they are working on the final design doc.

What he could share with us sounds promising. Ships won't be loot bags, components left will will depend on how bad you wreck the target in a fight. You will have the option of breaking down components or taking the components and fixing parts that aren't completely destroyed.

I can't wait to see how they handle randomly generated shipwrecks.

>>124868816
It looks fine. I just wonder about the practicality of it.

I'll second that. There's just too little to do right now. But as I said before, it shows promise. That they got something to show for the time and money they invested. And that they are probably able to deliver on a lot of things.

So is there any form of a PU yet, or is this trainwreck gonna be stuck in AC forever?

You can still get one: Get to wave 18 and earn your Aggressor badge. Once you have that send support a ticket and they'll let you have a token to buy it.

There are two stocks of Glaives:

1) 1000 for the first people to beat wave 18 on VS. That stock is completely gone.

2) About 2000 or so are available to Gamescon people and Scythe owners. That stock is at 1500. So unless you attended Gamescon (They gave you a ticket or something) or if you own a Scythe you can't see this second stock even if you get the badge.

It appears to be pretty much the ultimate griefing tool.

>>124910295
>How much time passed since a ship got a flight ready status for Live server?

thats kind of irrelevant if they're flight ready in 2.0, which was the Retaliator, Constellation, Avenger (new pass) / Avenger variants and new HUD passes on a few ships.

The last time was probably the Gladiator IIRC, in 1.1.1

>>124910496
>11 Apr 2015 - Patch 1.1.1 - 8 Months ago

Im aware p2.0 is a big step since its the first spark of a proper persistent universe..They will most likely show astroid/planet landing in 16th of December. They are doing sq42..

I have zero hope to see the next ships that are in the pipe to get flight ready in less than 8 months.

>Freelancer x4 / Redeemer / Sabre / Caterpillar.
>8 ships

Especially with sq42 and consistant spewing of new mechanics, along with the need to build the universe mechanics and fixing what is already there.

>>124911220
>I have zero hope to see the next ships that are in the pipe to get flight ready in less than 8 months.

Okay?

Thanks for your hot opinions?

They made port olisar without showing us jack shit before it was 100% done, remember. The PU / LiveOPs team aren't working on ships. Mechanics don't slow down the ship pipeline.

>>124911220
I think they kinda noticed they were doing what you just complained about.

They began concentrating on actually building the framework and foundation for all the things they promised instead of simply shitting out more ships.

>>124911326
>The PU / LiveOPs team aren't working on ships.

Ah forgot about this, you are right. On the other hand 8 month is not bad for pumping 7-9 hulls with modules ready to fly. Considering the details they put in them.

We will see.

>>124911220
I really hope you're not right cause I've got a major boner for the Sabre. Then again, they did say that it should be flight ready faster than the other ships as it will be using flight models that are already in place.

>>124911551
Vanguard Warden is meant to be out with the next patch or so, even if it is kitbashed as hell

>>124911562
Naah I am on the pessimist side today, I have a feeling they will pump Sabre asap for pewpew action. Maybe along with Freelancer in 2.1?

If they concentrate on the universe mechanics thats cool as well, considering the next ships are bigger, and require more detail. Meanwhile we can enjoy fiddling with new universe mechanics.

>>124911687
True. I'd be happy if they either add the possibility to shop for hardware in game so you don't have to run the not so good stock loadouts, or add the Sabre rather sooner than later. The design of that thing is just boner inducing for me.

We are literally months away from having even the most basic balancing issues resolved
There are certain gun and ship combos that have been ridiculously overpowered since ever.
Controllers do not even matter at this point.

From the things CIG has said so far, they re aware of the issue.
They have a concept for solving this (small guns on gimbals mounted on less maneuverable ships with KB+M, big guns in fixed mounts mounted on maneuverable ships with sticks)
They do also realize they have to do other things first before getting this done.

You are upset about step # 293 and call people nigger because you are butthurt about the $200 HOTASS that you impulso-bought way too early.
We need to even get to step #15, most people realize this and laugh at those who do not.

You would think that they would be decent in theory, but they end up being so awkward and jerky that you end up being less accurate than when you're just aiming with fixed weapons.

I don't think the mouse mode is actually that bad if the joystick can do a similar thing. The new joystick mode looks good but I can't test it because it's fucking broken whenever a contact appears. Also they should make gimbals a bit slower with more inertia so it's not such a huge advantage. And a bit of spread.

I'm really optimistic about the singleplayer campaign for this game.

It looks like they get everything working and actually running smoothly in singleplayer, but as soon as you start toying with multiplayer the FPS and connectivity goes to shit.
What we're seeing on the PTU now is only a fraction of the intricate systems that are planned for release, how on earth is this going to work in multiplayer without any lag?

>>124930143
It probably is. They will hopefully have faction based skins for pirates.

>>124932553
>actually running smoothly in single player
They said everything in single player will diverge from the PU. They were considering having single player be a copy of the PU with all your experiences being in its own instance from everyone else. In the end they couldn't get around the need to balance ships and weapons in single player separately from the PU.

They also wanted to get the campaign finished faster and cutting out all the PU content is allowing them to do that.

Why are Cutlassfags always so triggered

>>124935068
He's not wrong though.

Ben and Jared have constantly been all

>IT's JUST A PRANK BRO XD
>WE DO LISTEN TO YOUR GUYS

and then seemingly ignoring them/doing the opposite

>>124935068
i havent followed the cutlass drama i just know everyones butthurt about it for some reason

>>124935068
>this is bullying

>>124935614
>He's not wrong though.

Yeah, nah. We have enough special snowflakes as it is. You're no better than anyone else.

Cutlassfags can get fucked, they whine more than every other group combined.

>>124935614
you are a butthurt little faggot aren't you?

fucking hell you whiney bitches with your headcanon have such fragile egos

maybe ask them to put trigger warnings next time, maybe a safe space at sanctioned events with the cutlass commercial playing and playdoh

>>124936005
>>124936049

Not that anon, but You've already irritated me more than Cutlass fags already have.

They admitted they fucked up, so its not whining.

>>124936049
>>124936005
You're only like this because you aren't the ones receiving it.

Cutlass owners have been the butt of all the jokes by CIG, then they all turn around with "just a joke lol".

Then fags like you are all "GOD CUTLASS OWNERS ARE JUST THE WORST"

No, you are the cancer.

whats so inherently wrong with the cutlass?

>>124936172
>so its not whining.

Nah fuck off.

>>124936172
that fucking thread is nothing but whining and tears, go put some panties on and cry like a bitch on the rag elsewhere along with all the rest of you little girls

what the fuck is wrong with you? it's a game with iterative development and shit isn't done, if it's a fucking problem get a refund, or melt it down and buy and ship, instead of fucking making treatwises and thousands of posts about a fucking spaceship that's not done yet

Christ roberts help us from this level of autism

>>124936253
>No, you are the cancer.

Salt flows freely from Cutlassfags.

>>124936432
God damn, why are you so salty about an RSI thread?

Also congratulations on completely missing the issue, champ

>>124840128

Random plebs produce low grade tears.

You need to find a target that has something that'll actually hurt to replace. Or is autistic enough to not brush it off and try to declare war on you.

>>124936253
I have a 315p, so don't even try to go there. I just suck it up and hope it works out in the future, i gave my two sense and moved on. If I don't like it i'll change it to something else. Protip: you aren't going to like everything in this game and it's not going to be how you imagine in many ways.

Because they were promised a very different ship than what they got. And after a year or so of pissing on the half of the cutlass fags that wanted a 'pirate fighter', CIG has since gone and pissed off the half who genuinely wanted a light freighter by saying the Cutlass will be some sort of shitty hybrid craft that sucks at every role. Hell, they even ticked off the variant owners by saying that after the long delayed remake, the Blue and Red will lose their custom hull and cockpit details.

At this point, it seems like most of the posters in the cutlass bitch thread have either left or since downgraded to Avengers or upgraded to Freelancers/Connies.

>>124936325
Nothing

The only reason the issue has gotten the visibility it has is because it was the prime vehicle for Goon shitposting on the official forums.

There's literally no other reason this issue is oh so 'important'

>>124936325
It's not the mary sue ship they all envisioned in their head.

>>124936619
>it seems like most of the posters in the cutlass bitch thread have either left or since downgraded to Avengers or upgraded to Freelancers/Connies.

And yet they continue to whine and bitch and moan

>>124936527
just tired of you tumblrina's crying when you get your feelings hurt, suck it up be a fucking man and move on

>>124936698
>>124936796
Why are you morons still incapable of seeing the entire issue behind the cutlass?

Hint: It isn't the Cutlass' performance or balance.

>>124936872
>Irony, the post

>>124936649
i wish i could upvote you more, it was just fucking beerforbannedgod using it to grandstand and distract CIG because they can't get their way

>>124937173
fuck

>>124936325
some of it's just whining about it not being some sort of super agile pirate fighter, and some of it is due to the ship being a cluster fuck of bad design and coding.

Even CIG has admitted that they totally fucked up when building it, and then they just kind of gave up fixing it because there was more important things to do.

awww yisssss

What's the smallest possible ship I can use as a starliner?

>>124936619
>the Blue and Red will lose their custom hull and cockpit details.

My guess, other ships are going to get the same treatment. They've been pushing this hot swap module stuff for a while now. The Vanguard and Retaliator were the test run of this concept.

>>124937883

you asked this before and someone answered you. what really defines a starliner to you though?

>>124938886
>someone answered
Fuck, did they? I must have missed it.
I mean, essentially I want to be a bus driver.
If I can fit benches in the back of an Avenger, then that counts.
