Elite is dead kids, it's time to pledge to star citizen. I just spent $125 for the ship i want. No smuggling with 50 stops. No shooting fish in a barrel for combat bonds. Just got the ship I want and now i can finally play.

>>149818237
My god, the detail on that face. Already pledged though. And there's no point in pledging now since nothing's LTI.

Thanks for the help, lads. It still doesn't seem like an easy decision. I'm still 6% short towards getting the required fed rank for the FAS, so I'll try the Vulture first. Seems like the FAS might have a slight edge, but I am a sucker for mobility. I'll compare them and decide. Thanks for the spoonfeeding.

>>149821781
Second post you replied to here, I honestly prefer the Vulture.

>>149821390
>latest last price update on every single one is at best like 40 days

yeah no thanks

Wanted to post this last thread about ranking up with a faction but it died.

>>149795724
You need to go to a station that has a lot of sub factions that are under your main faction "umbrella"

Be at least cordial rep with them

Check every 10 minutes or so to refresh the board and switch between Open and Solo play to find the,

Take a mission that starts with Navy and the like (you can see in mission rewards that it will rank you up)

Do the mission. It may be combat, trading or w/e.

Depending on where you are on the rank tree is how hard the enemies may be, so if for instance you are low on the rank tree and have to kill pirates of a certain faction don't expect them to roll up in a python or even an asp, they will be weak shit.

Don't worry if you can't find them right away just keep ranking up all the sub factions to cordial and wait for a spawn, the game will thankfully keep letting your work towards the next rank even if you can't find a promotion mission.

>>149824595
Pobably for me, thank you though ive figured out how to rank up

If I do the powerplay exploit will that help me rank up combat towards elite?

>>149825296

>does killing shit help me rank up my combat grading

Yes.

I need a weapon loadout for my conda. I have 3 large beams and they eat shields up but they also completely kill my capacitor

I need ideas people

>>149826716
Chainguns and missles

>>149827001
Missiles are nice but they run out so fast it's not even funny. I'm doing mainly PVE cuz I just switched from gamepad to KBM and need to get used to the controls

>>149827131
Just a thought, are you doing combat or mining/trading etc?

>>149827245
combat

I just find the eternal laser/MC combo boring but there's almost nothing else viable for PVE

frags, maybe

What's the best loadout for a PvE vulture? I can't seem to manage my power draw.

>>149827402
2 pulses or 1 beam/1kinetic

>>149827370
Well for comvat then go long term obv. My set up is for short term. But you can seriously just try mixing lasers with canons. Or adding mines and forward fixed stuff since your in a conda (i run one too i just bought it)

>>149821373
No, only recharge rate

>>149828995
>>149821373
it's for taht reason that weapon focused is the only modification worth doing to your distributor. It basically gives you one free pip to WEP

But what makes Elite so compelling isn’t so much about the game as the experience. It’s the tinkering with and the taking out of a performance car for a Sunday drive, not to rack up more miles, nor to break any speed limits, but to just feel the growl of the engine and the wind comb through what’s left of your hair. To remember those carefree days arched over a BBC Micro or blinking angrily into a Lenslok and to forget for a short while that you have to make 357 people redundant in the morning. Elite is a hermetically-sealed escape capsule and it’s the best there is. Hell, you could fire the game up and just sit there on a launch pad and the sounds are enough to carry you away, so strong is your ship’s presence and so absorbing are the station surroundings.

Taking off, tearing through the station entrance a little too fast and just missing a Python, angling for the next jump, scooping fuel from a blazing sun, spinning the camera around your ship to catch its best profile, starting a fight just for the hell of it, seeing smok rise from the command console, hearing the screen crack and precious oxygen escaping into space and landing back at base with seconds to spare – these are the moments that make Elite essential. Trading, missions, mining – not so much. But it’s ok, we’re not going anywhere.

Help me /edg/, what ship should I fly? I can't decide. I own the following ships at the moment:
Corvette, Anaconda, FDL, Python, Funship, Clipper, FAS and the iEagle.

I have the money to any ship in the game with almost any kind of loadout but I'm not a PP nerd so I can't get those modules.

I was thinking of doing mining with the Funship.

>>149850216

>>149851000
Nice trips is what I think.

No but seriously. NMS will probably have a deeper exploration element than Elite ever will, too bad I just don't care. Props to the bongs. But I just can't stand that minecraft-esque material hunting. Nor do I like the art style of that game. Or the sound design. Also no chance to play it with my friends, even though the possilibities in Elite are limited they are still there. I'll still probably get it and try it out if it's my thing but I'm honestly not holding up any hopes for it. I've grown far too jaded for this shit

>>149851247
Yeah, I get what you're saying.

I'm going to play the heck out of it because it's the sort of the sort of exploration I like, not the endless waiting of Elite

>>149851000
I feel like every part of the game except the actual flying in a ship part looks good, but the flight model looks like trash

I'll get it when it goes 50% off in a year or so, or maybe I'll pirate it sooner if it turns out to be good

So, on Steam this game is listed as Singleplayer only. I thought it was supposed to be fully multiplayer, but with a universe so large that it's just very unlikely to run into other players. Is this shit multiplayer or not?

>>149841712
>blujin ur awn train

>>149851712
>Is this shit multiplayer or not?

Hello games has just been bullshitting the whole time. The game's singleplayer.

>>149851609
>but the flight model looks like trash

Yeah, fairly boring and simplistic.

>>149851816
Wow. And here I thought I was finally getting an alternative to VISION. No multiplayer for this kind of game, especially with a AAA price tag, is pretty much a total game killer.

>>149851917
Here's the thing, and this applies to Star Citizen too, multiplayer architecture not to mention MMO level stuff is VERY FUCKING HARD TO PULL OFF!

>>149851712
Yes and no.

Yes theoretically, you see your friends on the map. You can fly with them.

No because they are always 100LY from you, plus you never see people, it's like no one's here and you're playing in an empty box.

>>149852126
I don't doubt it, but the lack of multiplayer has completely killed my interest in this game. A procedurally generated sandbox will quickly get boring without other people.

>>149852371
>A procedurally generated sandbox will quickly get boring without other people.

Oh yeah, this will not be a long lasting game. That goes without saying. Minecraft lasted this long because it of multi AND that you could build stuff. You can do neither in NMS.

>>149851917
There is a lobby instance system like in Elite and the max amount of players in one lobby is 6. Six.
And they've said that that is as many people as you've ever meet in the game.

>>149851917
>>149851712
>>149851816
They must've listed the game as singleplayer so people won't get it under the expectation of multiplayer despite having a multiplayer layer in there, just that you won't get to experience it much.

>>149852126
Yep. I don't mind the instancing of Elite. 32 people seems like a fair bit of action. Too bad the 'matchmaker' sucks and that nobody ever plays in open so you don't get to see anyone. PLUS there's not that much to do with random people. You can't really help them or trade them. All you can do is gank them. Which turns people away from player to player encounters even more. There's no reason not to be afraid of every player you see which makes me so sad.
I hate to be 'that guy' but Ftroop should add more PtP stuff.

>>149852493
And minecraft has a fuckton of mods, and you can tweak EVERYTHING if you know how.

>>149852697

>All you can do is gank them

This. Its a damn shame because its true. Its not surprising that people want to play solo because the most you can do in open is gank other players.

Theres nothing like mission sharing. Wing benefits for doing anything suck ass. Everything you do in the game has been designed to do in solo. No way form a group to chat with specific people without using the wing system.Not even something like a trade chat for stations cause who fucking knows how long it will be before you jump into a system with another player in it.

The game breeds hostility and isolationism.

>>149853331
The only things to do in a group in this game are trading for the wing dividends and mining for the boosted return from each asteroid. Every other aspect of gameplay actively discourages group play. Well, except PvP I guess, but I don't count that since it's not incentivized by the game in any case.

You can kinda-sorta share missions if you all dock at the same place, if you're in the same instance you should see the same mission board.

But yeah, trading with other players (including materials/data), sharing missions, NOT splitting bounties, basic guild support, and really just any kind of group content at all is sorely missing from the VISION, among a million other things.

>>149852697
>I hate to be 'that guy' but Ftroop should add more PtP stuff

That would be half assing it. Ftroops need to spin up some proper multiplayer server architecture. Not just background simulation and instancing/matchmaking shit.

Proper persistence and a living economy would make Elite 1000x better.

>>149853807
This. The lack of persistence and proper MMO social features are some of the worst things about Elite.

>>149853807

At least have areas in the game that specifically use a client server system so you could handle large scale events with other players

>>149853331
Not to mention the stupid state of Interdiction means that every player has an animosity towards everyone else because they have to deal with 99% of people being NPC pirates going after them for their cargo. Whenever they see another player, theyll probably assume they are an NPC.
Why not have like, good things that NPC's can do for you? Like someone flags you down because he has too much cargo to jump to where he needs to go and ejects stuff and lets you take it

>>149854053
See all that would require imagination and originality which frankly Ftroop and Braben don't have.

Braben wanted to make the same game he's made previously with updated graphics. That's it. The point was never to innovate.

Star Citizen may be a trainwreck or a scam but goddamn at least the devs were looking at how to make a game fun before the money drove them jewish.

>>149854053
That's a good point. Interacting with NPCs involves nothing more than deciding whether or not to shoot them. Why isn't there a simple comms rose with some basic shit like threatening, demanding cargo, asking for help, asking if they need help, requesting a trade, etc.

>>149854358
The state of things is so bad, it encourages worse things.
>Ship *teleports behind you*
>Interdicts you, or worse, interdicts you 5 times over as you move farther from your planet
>Demands you to drop your zero cargo
>opens fire regardless
Whats the response?
>Plug pull / Combat Log

What if there was a tense scenario where if you were interdicted, you could just stop, and he could scan you, see you had nothing worth his time, and he'd bounce. If you ran away he'd shoot you, but if you stood still, its a gamble if he makes a demand or not.

>>149850216

>>149829748
>>149821373
Wouldn't it be useful to have an extra pip in SYS or ENG, too?

>>149863412
no.

All "X focused" distro does is increase regen and capacity for X and decreases the rest slightly. As a result:

-shield focused distro does not give that extra "strength" pip so you still have to put 4 pips in sys anyway to get 2x shield durability. Does not increase shield regen speed, only how fast the capacitor fills up.

-in the same fashion, engine focused distro does not increase your base agility like putting pips in ENG does. All it does is enable you to boost more often. Will still not fill up if there are 0 pips to ENG.

-meanwhile, weapon focused distro also increases capacity and regen for WEP but coincidentally that's all weapons need: energy in the capacitor to fire. Having that virtual 3rd pip to WEP allows you to fire for longer or even to redirect that pip to ENG for a little more agility.

Unless you're in a super lightweight racing ship with modded enhanced thrusters, ENG focused distro is useless. SYS focused distro is useless, period.

>>149853801
I dont mind the bounty sharing its the trouble it takes to bounty share.

Its ridiculous that two people can jump into the same instance (if it works) and get a stream of eagles they each have to plink together to share. At that rate we might as well just take seperate enemies and be in seperate instances.

The sharing would be fine if it was a just a bounty pool or anything else but elite. Hell if trade dividends worked correctly(they didnt a year ago) they could make bounty dividends

How should I fit my Python guys?
I mainly fly around and shoot shit.

if you upgrade lets say a weapon, you are stuck with it on THAT ship and tehre is no way to transfer it to your other ship, or store it if you would like to use it later.
also you need cargo racks for some of the commodities that are required for crafting which is retarded for fighters like the vulture or viper

>>149884426

I hope you understand I'm not trusting shit the devs "confirm."

Let me tell you what happens if you implement storage. People will make stocks on magnetic emitter coils, osmium or whatever else commodity. They won't have to actively play and go places to get them. They are lazy and they are hoarders. Dumbing everything down (when some of us already have all engineer tier5 unlocked and ships upgraded) is already enough. I hope FD never implements storage for commodities (yes for modules).

>>149884954

I know this is bait but I never understood this reasoning. Whether I buy the mats or mine them, the end result is always the same, except I didn't have to waste an hour of mining. If FD weren't retarded they would leave engie commodities in, and have them be sold at certain ports while also being very expensive, while also allowing you to fabricate them from mined materials.

I am trained in silent running warfare and I’m the top CMDR in the entire Federation forces. You are nothing to me but just another bounty. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this system, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker.

The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your ship. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with pulse lasers. Not only am I extensively trained in ramming combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the engineers and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

I don't get it. The patch notes seemed clear. It was a simple patch. And then the moment before it happens they suddenly say that commodities are still required. Does fdev just hate the people that play this game?

I don't understand, it was supposed to be a simple patch that fixed the broken engineer stuff, but they couldn't even manage that without disappointing tons of people.

All they had to do was make a second announcement or an edit saying that commodities are still in. Surely they saw the vast majority praising commodity removal? Do they just completely ignore the forums? Is there no communication?

I don't get it, I just don't.

I was just thinking. Are Frontier malicious enough that they would purposely introduce some shitty updates with the intention of fixing it later just to hide their Thargoid bullshit among the update? I pose this idea only because PIG are assholes enough to do such a thing and actually have done such a thing. So if one developer does it, there's a possibility that another would.

I actually think that they do. Their bias towards player groups is pretty certain. Regular Open players are cattle to them, really.

>>149901172
Well by bullshit I mean more of the hints and shitty little probes, anything along that line. But that's not the point of that. The point of it is, are they malicious enough to pull what another developer does?

>>149900956

Fdev isnt competent enough to hide updates within patches and coordinate such things.
They're also openly hostile to their users. They see no need to hide it and are probably laughing at the guys running circles around Merope trying to figure that "hidden" "message" out.

Cant wait for the "reveal" by a "player" later on.

>>149901384
Absolutely, in that case. And they'll say "no no, it was bonus stuff we added in because we love you guys, not intentional solely to add stuff later", and dads will defend them and choke to death on fdev's dick over it.

You were wrong.
>Less mats, and I'm still new to the whole engineer thing.
Still requires commodities that require cargo space, still requires doing a load of rng and grind.
>I don't even know what you mean by this question
I mean that only braindead retard would hunt mats in a combat ship with a super limited jump range. Even with FSD upgrades your FAS will be a pita to travel anywhere.

>>149916398

>>149917834
Man, I don't know, it's not like the FAS has a bunch of cargo space possibility to transfer commodities into or anything.

>>149917779
They didn't even implement them. Engineers are as grindy as ever.

>>149907883
anyone?

>>149917834
Not him but just make sure you leave the FAS with some cargo space, use another ship to get however much cargo you want, and then swap back to the FAS. You must be new here

>>149908367
But that's stupid. Why tell me it was going to last 6h then ? Can't they separate the two process ? Ffs. Those devs should find another job not related to programming

>>149922153
You get multiple now.

>>149922004
How is this bait? That>>149921571 picture looks like shit pudding and it doesn't get much better on ultra due to ftroop consciously downgrading distant terrain.

Have you seen what SC or even Infinity Battlescape demonstrate on that front? It's far superior tbqh.

While frontier still struggle to implement volcanic planets or even simple geysers.

When it comes to getting exploration data is it quicker to just honk and jump, or is it worth it to stay and scan high value targets like earth likes and water worlds?

Wow they really did allow you to swap cargo from one ship to the next.

Seems like ftroop is only two years behind on qol updates

>>149923289
What kind of question is that? Of course it's always worth it to scan high value targets, that's the point of honking. Even already discovered are totally worth it.

>>149922285

So now I get twice as much Iron when I'm trying to find Yttrium now? Whoopee.

And still

Fighter pilots must be pissed.

i am not going to argue about what gaming studio does what and how. I have every setting regarding terrain on low-medium since i prefer to have stable 60 fps and once i will have a new card, i will be editing the ini/xml files so i can go beyond what fdev restricts in-game.

also have a pretty much 3 year old vid

No, you get 3 or 5x all mats as far as I'm aware.

And as a vulture lover, yeah, fucking sucks. Have to mod stuff on my anaconda then sell then buy back on the vulture. Extra steps that are just pointless and add aggravation.

>>149924120
>here's a disgusting webm and an irrelevant video
T-thanks.

Also, you can't edit distant terrain detail in the ini.

>>149924381
>irrevelant video
well he shows the gas giant atmosphere prototype. Sure they are doing things slower than a 90 years old man but at least they did not jew down to offer ships for 1500$ and not release the game multiple times over the "promised" release date

oh well
I did just look up the blueprints on Inara.
They look like much less of a pain in the ass, regardless. Yttrium isnt needed for FSD anymore, for instance. (which is good since it's used for synthesis a lot)

>>149924571
>well he shows the gas giant atmosphere prototype
I'm not sure how it's relevant to terrain detail or technologically impressive.

I mean volumetric clouds are not some impressive cutting edge tech, FSX had them. The ones in the video don't even look good.

No need to get butthurt about SC or any other game for doing things better than ED either.

>>149924571

>Sure they are doing things slower than a 90 years old man

No, I'm not letting you get away with this. "Slow" doesn't describe FD. They let a game breaking bug fester for two fucking months before finally patching it without ever acknowledging the issue or letting players know an update was incoming. You can say whatever you like about SC scamming people and parting retards from their cash, but you cannot under the same breath excuse FD for their incompetence. This is why modern space sim games are such hot garbage. No one wants to develop a decent game so they shit out half-baked buggy messes like ED and everyone eats it up because oh well, there's nothing else on the market right now.

>>149924120
>Those three year old videos
>That have shit in them that we do not have or may never get in game

For what purpose?

>>149924685
Were he and Arthur gay lovers?

>>149925072
as far as i am aware, you cant land on planets in SC yet. Also one is using Crytek engine and the second one has its own engine and a questionable team workin on it
>>149925460
but there are other space games on the market that you can play right now and forget about elite. And i will get away with this since i am enjoying Elite, you are not and both of us wish for the game to be a lot better than it is now

>>149925879
Fully explorable system in 2.6/2.7.

>>149924120
>>149925668
Yeah, that video was depressing.

>>149925879
>as far as i am aware, you cant land on planets in SC yet
You do realise that meme won't last forever, right?

Seems like SC will have the full package before elite launches season three. And you will get it at one cost, not cut on separate DLCs ans sold at full price each.

>>149926386
>And you will get it at one cost, not cut on separate DLCs ans sold at full price each.
they can do that since the money they got have set them for life. They could release SC as a f2p game if they would want to, and if you really want to talk about SC, then go to /scg/

>>149925879

>And i will get away with this since i am enjoying Elite, you are not and both of us wish for the game to be a lot better than it is now

So because you personally enjoy Elite's barebones content, you don't care that FD shafted a portion of it's playerbase and left a section of the game outright broken? I won't lie, Elite is a pretty fun game if you lower your expectations down to the floor, but FD have no idea what they are doing with this game and I really wish that some miracle would happen and they handed the game off to someone who knew what they were doing.

So they can deliver more quality content for less money than ftroop asks for more money and lower quality content? Are you implying this is bad or what?

>go to /scg/
Nah, I'll stay here.

>a single ship in SC costs more than Elite
Well, if you're the retarded neckbeard that buys concept art, then sure.

Base package that grants you full game costs around $40 bucks. That's less than ED costed upon it's release as a de facto early access title.

>also go back to plebbit
Not an argument, you salty baby.

>>149928173
It was, just really buggy and prone to disappearing items.

>>149928368
back to the gulag with you dad

>>149928173

It also wasnt possible to land on planets, which I'd trade for item storage desu.

>>149928587
Did they ever get trade dividends working? Those wernt working either
