>While pushing these new systems, we also spent some time refactoring some old systems that were not quite up to par with our vision of Star Citizen. We’re currently talking about the Quantum Travel which will get a major overhaul to make it a challenging part of gameplay where people who are good at it and know what they are doing will be able to enter QT faster (perhaps before being interdicted; see below) and travel for longer distances in one quantum navigation. At the same time we are introducing the concept of Interdiction to allow players to interrupt others from just leaving in the middle of a battle whenever they feel like it. There will be multiple ways of stopping a ship from entering QT ranging from simply damaging them, all the way to specialized weapons and deployable devices focused on stopping ships dead in their tracks.

My dick is so hard right now. Pirate space is actually going to have ways of keeping scrubs from wanting to enter, and battles will be more than "Shit, I can't win. Let's just QT and escape for free ;)".

Tell me more

hull ship sale when?

we need discussion

actual game when

a page 10, this is going well

I've come to realize that SCG can't live because Citizens are only interested in attention whoring. It's why these always descend into org posting and veiled namefagging.

>>138181019
no game to play, no fresh content - no meaningful discussion. Just look at every single single-player game general on this board. Always descends into some drama waifus or other shit

What are the two ships going to be in 2.4 ?

>>138182112
I'm going with the Reliant and... maybe the Starfarer.

>>138182112
I would think the Starfarer would be flight ready, perhaps Reliant Base hangar ready. With the way they said it, it seemed like we'd be getting 2 ships hangar ready and the starfarer flight ready.

Who Javelin here?

>>138183805
Did you actually buy one?

>>138184340
Sure as fuck did.

Take your best shot anon

>>138184456
Did you buy it to resell on the grey market for profit? If not, why were you inclined to purchase a ship that will be extremely expensive to run/man, that is torpedo bait, and won't be seen in the game for years?

>>138184796
You know how it goes. Just me and 50 of my closest buddies shitting on the rest of the people in this game.

>>138184969
Once you have the realization of how much of a high value target you will be, it'll be a hangar queen. If you go to pirate space and stur up shit, literally everyone is going to be after you, and you'll lose your money. What exactly do you envision to happen in this "shitting on the rest of the people in this game"?

>>138185589
I have no idea but I know you're first on the list.

>>138185742
Seriously anon, just taking it out on a stroll to "wreck scrubs" will get you destroyed quickly, especially when you don't have the UEE there to protect you.

And can someone please explain why this shit is so popular in the sc community? Everytime I go into chat there's a group of people trying to one up each other with this emote wars.

>Greetings Citizen!

>We are cordially inviting you from to join Evocati Test Flight (ETF), a select group of volunteer testers who have previously demonstrated a knowledge and passion for finding and reporting Star Citizen bugs by actively participating on Issue Council or playing in our Public Test Universe (PTU) phases.

>Evocati Test Flight testers will be invited to closed, NDA-controlled playtests held on PTU. Think of these sessions as a pre-PTU phase, comprised of builds with new, raw, and sometimes broken or unfinished content and features that could initially result in a degraded or even completely unplayable user experience.

>As such, NO SCREENSHOTS OR LIVESTREAMING will be allowed during the Evocati phases. We’ll make sure to clearly notify everyone when we move out of an ETF phase and into a PTU phase where screenshots and livestreams are again allowed.

>Once a build is stabilized and needs more concurrency testing, we’ll roll it out to our standard PTU waves for additional stress testing, and then to Live.

so, we have a game that is some sort of early access, then there is an early-early-access PTU, and now there will be an early-early-early-access? This is getting really ridiculous.

Not that much actually, went through the first issue council pages a couple of times and confirmed every bug I already experienced. Played every PTU release since 2.0 though.

Also

No.

I'll look into it, depending on what they actually release in those patches.

No idea, it just says that they'll test broken builds that aren't ready for the public yet and the first playtest will be later this month.

next hull ship sale when?

>>138207651
Who the fuck cares?

>>138207651
Why are you in such a rush to buy a ship that won't be in the game for a while? Its primary mechanics aren't even working yet.

>>138202243
I'd actually melt the Idris for a polaris if the Polaris is good. Idris has become a kind of bloated monster in terms of crew and operating cost. I think last number was minimum effective crew of 37?

This is fucking retarded if its true.

>>138209310
>melt
tfw it's part of my package
When they release the Polaris and it turns out to be good I'll consider just bugging concierge and asking for a downgrade + store credits. Depending on the amount that would potentially allow me to unmelt an Endeavor.

>minimum effective crew of 37
It was a max crew of 37. I guess you only 'really' need a handful of bridge crew, turret gunners or NPCs and pilots. Probably adds up to 37 if you man every single station scattered around the ship.
I agree with the part about operating costs though.

>>138209796
Nope, just alpha at this point.

I can't wait to redpill them again

>>138212387
He's probably refering to
>>138201467

Considering "live" is barely alpha

Then there is the PUBLIC test universe (which isn't even open to most of the public) which holds even more unstable builds (pre-alpha?)

Then theres that, which apparently isn't stable enough for a closed unstable test universe. (pre-pre alpha?)

>>138205201
>What are the main features of the patches ?
Info from WLeverett on leddit:
>The short of it is that different phases of development have very different concurrency needs. We don't need thousands of people to download something like the very first 2.0.0 iteration that crashed every 30 seconds (literally) but we do need a few that want to endure a bit of pain.
>This group will test the most early and broken of builds. As it's stabilized, we will get more people in as needed.

>>138215938
Sounds exactly what should be on the fucking PTU

>>138216404
The point is that they want fewer people than use the PTU. Is that so hard to understand?

>>138217024
So restrict access. They already do it anyway.

>>138217208
They can't because they recently hired your mom to be in charge of the PTU and she's never restricted access to anyone in her life.

>>138217956
>Sell "Alpha Slots"
>Don't actually let people into the real alpha because you have 3 levels of Alpha and not shilling the product only gets you into level 1

Its like fucking scientology at this point

>>138217956
Now that's not fair, anon has been cockblocked by his mom on more than one occasion.

>>138218528
>3 levels of Alpha and not shilling the product only gets you into level 1
What? What's wrong with only giving those who actually contribute to bug reports access to the broken builds, then releasing them to the public once they're stable?

>>138220017
Hi Ron

>>138209796
>>138212387
We're playing a dev build. Alpha is usually reserved for something more polished.

Unless we're talking about the pop-culture fluid meaning of "alpha" (by which I'm saying it means absolutely nothing other than unfinished) fuck no.

>pre-pre-alpha
Do you even know the meaning of this word?

When are we getting more FPS related content? I'm not much of a pilot but I'd like to pretend I'm playing a tactical shooter at some point, using ships merely for transportation.

If I have a Ship Package and I refund store-credit on it do I lose alpha access? Or how does it work? I have 3 ships but 2 of them are standalone, I don't want the ship in the package anymore. How does this work?
