Braben probably has a 3D printed Anaconda up his ass right now.

>>150793772
Higher jump range, more cargo capability, better offensive capability. I think it lacks on speed compared to the Python. Though I'm not an expert on the Conda, I sold mine the second I got a Corvette.

>>150793890
What do you use for haul/multi if you sold your anaconda?

Well I have plenty of options. Plus I can use a Cutter if I need to haul, but I don't because I haven't played in several months. Other than that I used to use Asp E primarily for smuggling.

>>150795941
Yes.

>>150795941

Get in a master engineer's good graces so they'll work for you, then bring them materials to modify your ship.

The results are randomized like a slot machine though.

Literally like a slot machine.

Like you can see those bars bouncing back and forth before settling on a number.

>>150797635
No, they delayed the game three days for PC only, today, four days before launch.

>>150797909
*Sony delayed the release

>>150797362

The randomization has boundaries, so if you get a mod to increase your jump range it will result in a higher jump range than stock no matter what.

The random parts are exactly by how much and how extensive the drawbacks are (extra power draw, etc).

You can get a higher grade mod done and end up with a worse result than your existing lower tier mod, though.

Like grade 4 jump range boost results between 17-40% while grade 5 runs 20-50% so it's entirely possible to roll 40% on the former and 20% on the latter.

You can choose not to fit the upgrade if it's shit, but the materials are spent when you spin the wheel.

>>150797578

I love when people joust. It's great when I pull my 1337 strats and kill them. The only problem is that when some retards glances me we both die instantly. It shouldn't be that easy to ram someone to death, especially if it's a Gladius hitting a Vanguard or Hornet, which appear to be equally susceptible to death when hit.

>>150807971

I feel like jousting is a lot more of a valid tactic in SC than ED. Don't know why. Have tried it in ED before and it just didn't work well, whereas with SC it did.

From the monthly report

>To achieve this we’ve developed several techniques that effectively simulate how human eyes stabilize an image. The first deals with the eyes directly and eliminates all orientation changes from the body on the camera, which is most effective when the body is idle. The processes mirrors how human eyes stabilize an image on the retina. The second, head stabilization, which we patterned after how birds deal with this same problem, keeps your head at a fixed position by counter-translating body motions to maintain the perception of stability. The adjustments are only a couple of centimeters at a time, which are barely visible on 3P models. The end result of a great tool for designers and animators that allow them to tweak the amount of head-bob to a level most people perceive as realistic. This is an ongoing development process and there will be more tweaks and improvements in the coming month.

>>150810510
We currently can't "pirate" much. Though, I've stolen ships. It's mainly just killing players atm. If CIG holds true to their model on things like combat logging, your ship will not just disappear. It will get an AI into it that will go to the closest place to safely leave your ship, so in the first implementation it could be something like your ship going dead for a few minutes and then QDriving to port olisar and docking your ship.

>>150810786
>shit income

In SC, when the shit is actually put into the game, I think the lawless side of the game will have some very lucritive opportunities. Stealing and reselling ships and their equipment could make some decent money. Considering that you will be able to do the same thing to NPCs, it can be make some money.

I've never been that big into space games, so I could care less about Derek as a person or a game dev. The important thing is that he's made enough noise that has helped people get refunds from all this madness, including me :^)

tbqh familia, I'd like to see SC live up to the promises. I like the idea of getting comfy while making delivery runs, mining, and whatnot while sipping some joe. But things look rather sketchy right now, so I'm content with watching from the sidelines with my money. If it takes off I'll buy back into it. If it doesn't I get to watch furfags cry and/or go through mental gymnastics

I disagree, but I have a question about the first PU system (I don't follow this game very often anymore).

Are they trying to hammer out a new pipeline for PU systems? I keep hearing that they're still having issues with the first one. Also, how many players can fit into an instance?

right now we have the anaconda for multirole, the Corvette and FDL for killing shit and the Cutter for multirole/trading and that's it. I want a more combat oriented large ship. Not full combat like a FDL or Vulture but combat/multirole like a FDS, FGS or hell even a FAS

I'm still getting the game but I'm not getting my hopes up for a day one patch. I know there WILL be one but I'm not sure it will fix a lot of the major issues the game has. It can fix maybe some graphical errors and maybe some optimization fixes for PC, but the biggest issue that I've seen from the game is that nearly every fucking planet has life on it. That REALLY bummed me out once I saw it. I know it's going to be unrealistic especially to the Drake equation but why does EVERY planet need abundant life on it? It just makes finding shit less exciting and you keep running into retarded configurations everywhere and it becomes less about discovering neat things and more about finding the most ridiculous and glitchy animals you can to post for other people to laugh at. I wish they would give some details on what exactly this patch includes but all we have is Sean's promise that the game as it is right now as leakers have seen is nothing like what the game will be once they day one patch it, which frankly I'm having a hard time believing him at the moment.

I can't believe I spent 200 hours in this dreg of a game, the only thing going for it are the graphics & sound. It's immersive when you get down to flying and fighting, but it's as devoid of content and substance as a Bethesda game.

I'm waiting for when we'd be able to swap out the missile hardpoints on fighters with rocket pods. I'd much rather have S2 or S1 rocket pods than S1 or S2 missiles that never hit their target because of flairs, ECM, etc. The only viable missiles are CS missiles, but I expect those to be expensive in game. It's been a long time since the devs have "confirmed" that most missile hardpoints can be rocket hardpoints, but I still hold hope for it.

We merged because the threads could not survive on their own. There's been one or two dedicated shitposters from today. They resurfaced for some reason, but the last threads were quite nice.

What kind of shilling is this? I'll break it down: multiplayer is dead, it has barely anyone playing it, the "stories" are primarily of anger towards frontier and if not that, it's stories of doing the same repetitive shit forever, and the "skill" is nothing. The game isn't worth playing, but you insist essentially that "If you eat shit long enough, you'll eventually like it!"

>>150838173
I'm asking this myself. SC fan club is its own sensitive ecosystem centred around waiting for Godot.

>>150839690
It's ok

What would you like to discuss

>>150839652
9K is pretty good, honestly. EVE has around 20k, and they're going strong, and have about 100x the content. Plus MP is still "alive" in that a very large portion of people play in Mobius' private group.

>>150839974
Can't pirate it, can I? Anyway it looked kinda boring from what I saw, I liked the wandering around on planets stuff on NMS better not flying for hours in empty space

>>150840012
Actually I was thinking about how much I dislike the weapons attached >>150815273. I know weapons have the capability to be disabled, because it's happened to me, but I really dislike it when a gun is thrown on via what looks to be a shitty little piece of metal.

So have people finally accepted that Star Citizen was just a big scam?

I also think that the tiny little pieces holding guns on are dumb, but I don't know if it's important enough to change all guns for it. The Boomslang in that picture isn't in the game yet, and when it does go in, I expect some things to change. Namely the unmanned turrets you refer to.

Even the one on the front looks silly. I think the Titan's gimbal is almost perfect, though I did find a picture with a larger weapon on the front and it looks like a more awkward A-10. And that auto turret actually looks like it's made of lego. I like the rest of the ship though, it's just those goddamn guns and this isn't exclusive to it.

>>150839652
I wish i could play open. But evwrytime i do and try jumping to a new system i get the boot. Solo works just fine.

I dont even know.

>Guess what you'll be doing in NMS, anon.
Having more fun than SC and ED, that's for sure. For how long, though, that's the question.

>>150840870
Remember when they used to call the Avenger like a space A-10? Sad, honestly. BTFO by Gladius, BTFO by vanguard. Penguin is still nice though. Honestly the guns on twigs isn't too bad of an issue. I don't even see them while flying anyway.

is this bait? can somebody really be this autistic and bitter towards something that doesnt influence them in the fucking slightest? why are you here even, this is a /edg/ + /scg/ thread.

also i bought my copy of no mans sky and theres nothing you can do about it. i'll explore my comfy planets and share pics while you eagerly bite yourself over it.

Not long judging by every stream I've watched. I don't understand why all these space 'sim' devs half ass parts of their game constantly

>Let's take a core aspect/idea and build a game entirely around it, and not give a shit about the rest

>>150841125
I still love my space penguin. It is a constant reminder of the space shuttles to me. Also I've gotten an appreciation for WW2 craft, especially how neatly and efficiently they've implemented weapons into the plane. Things like the FWs correctly timing fire to go between the propeller blades still blows my mind.

Is anyone else having issues with legacy captcha? Three in a row failed and it's just three goddamn numbers

>>150841450
Haven't really watched streams, I don't have high expectations for it eitherway.

If I get an hour per dollar spent, it's okay.

Do you like THICK planes?

>>150841679
UNNFF THICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

>>150841450
I assume you own a Super hornet with 6 guns on it. I like painting enemies with bullets as well. I am waiting for the Buccaneer since it will have 6 guns as well.

>>150841529
>Hour per dollar

That's a shit way to look at it anon. I've gotten my money's worth out of ED 10 fold by that logic. But well over half the time spent was not having fun so I don't consider that getting my money's worth.

>>150841842
Nope. Just a titan and a 300i upgrade for free. I'm not about to spend ludicrous amounts of money on an unfinished games. I barely like to pay for finished ones.

>>150841529
>60 hours

assuming you play games quite a bit every day, 2 or 3 weeks for a game is a waste of money.

>>150841921
>I've gotten my money's worth out of ED 10 fold by that logic
I have 840 hours in in via steam alone. I think the logic is sound, and we both got our money's worth.

fellow ED explorers, which fucking stars should i look for if i'm searching earth likes and water worlds?
All while i'm wandering my way to the Clookie neutron star field

>>150841921
>I'm not about to spend ludicrous amounts of money on an unfinished games.

I understand, and you certainly don't have to. However, if you want to get another ship free of charge you can join some SC player's raffle. I joined almost every single one I can for a month and won my super hornet. I still bought a Gladiator before because muh bombing runs, but it's not that hard to enter raffles for free shit.

>>150842084

But as I just said, I wasn't having fun most of the time so I didn't really

>>150842230

I didn't know these existed.

That's on you, I guess. Fun differs from person to person.

>>150842424
>Fun differs from person to person

Only the craziest of humans enjoy repeating the same things over and over again. Before I stopped playing I was having fun smuggling, because it actually brought about suspense and wasn't the same shit over and over. Even that stopped being fun because the prospect of sitting through 15 loading screens is not enjoyable. In fact each time I attempt to log in now instead of thinking what I can do, I think of

>Okay, how horrible will the travel be to get to what I want to do and will it be worth sitting through all of that

The answer is usually no.

What is best hardpoint setup for corvette?

>>150842380
Streamers do this shit all the time. Youtubers like GreyheadedGamer, SuperMacBros, BoredGamer, and others always hold giveaways for ships. If you really want, you can seek them out and try your luck.

>>150842736
Might as well attempt to abuse twitch. I don't watch streamers. Tried to once but hearing

>Thank you xyz for subscribing

Every five seconds is the most annoying shit I've ever heard. Actually private stream communities are cool

>>150842625
I reached triple elite and did most of the exploring and trading aspects I wanted, the mining game was shabby.

Most of my playtime I think comes from CQC and teaming up with friends for gankfests.

Not sure if all that above classes as "repeating" the same things over and over again, since I consider I've varied my menu of activities within the game.

>>150841005
The point which I was making is that NMS involves a lot of empty flying and barren planets too.

>>150842887
I consider most of ED's activities as repetitive grind because there's very little to differentiate between them other than aesthetics or names. Also their depth only goes as far as doing said activity. Bounty hunting is the same everywhere you go. Bounty hunt in one system by sitting at an RES site or interdicting NPCs/players over and over. Winged up with some friends to try to spice things up and the only thing that changed was TTK.

>>150842639
Come on, help me out.

>>150843889
It don't matter.

None of this matters.

Can someone explain to me why I still genuinely enjoy playing this game after almost 3k hours? I still get excited to log in and work on whatever I'm planning to do next. Why?

>>150849331
Because you're autistic. No other answer can explain enjoying the same thing over and over for 3k hours.

>>150849518
But I don't do the same thing over and over. I do different things almost every time I play. Sometimes I'll just run a few mixed missions, sometimes I'll go do some powerplay shit, sometimes I'll go do a little piracy (piracy missions pay really well now btw), maybe do a stack of CZ missions, maybe grind out a lil rep with the engineer I'm working on, maybe head to a CG for some PvP, the list goes on.

I dunno, maybe this game has more to it than we give it credit for because we all just run Sothis over and over ad nauseum.

>>150849926
In theory those sound varied and interesting, in practice they're pretty much boiled down to the same three things over and over. The limited number of ships doesn't help either, especially when a CZ ship fights the exact same way a pirate does.

>>150850569
>>150850830
If that were true I'd be bored to tears of this game by now. There's a pretty good variety of things to do, especially now that mission pay isn't shit.

>>150851029
Dad, please go.

>>150851029
Hey man, if you can delude yourself into really feeling that way, more power to you. Kind of wish I could do the same.

I've played games where you literally do the same thing over and over and gotten bored of them quickly. For instance, there was a little RPG called Heroes of a Broken Land I played a few years back, all there was to that game was crawling through the same handful of procedurally generated dungeons to level up your party. I got bored after a few hours because it was literally repeating the same activity over and over again.

I genuinely believe Elite has a decent variety of activities. Some of them are worse, like exploration, which is literally just honk and go forever, which is why I don't like it. Whatever, I doubt I'm going to change any minds here, even if I provided an itemized list of different things to do, you guys would just shit on that and pretend they're all the same. It's okay, though, I'll just go back to enjoying my game.
