>>151031084
Try to sell your entire account bruv. The Polaris is bound to be more useful than an SC capital ship since it needs: less crew, less operational costs, less defending (Idrii are bound to be targeted by basically everyone t bh), and it comes at the side effects of being more nimble, easier to replace if BTFO, and easier to defend. It's the best option.

I don't really want to get rid of it though. It's a cool ship and everything they showed from S42 etc. so far makes me look forward to it. I'm just not sure if it will end up being useful in any way down the road. I'm not stupid enough to bring it out without proper equipment on day 1.

Is the SC alpha fun enough that it's worth buying a basic pledge pack right now? I really want to try it out, but if it's not fun yet I can be patient.

So when can we expect gatling guns for bigger hardpoints in SC?Like up and above 4?

any ETA?

>>151031626
You can get a package and just sit on it for a few years if you want. The alpha obviously has issues with it and we mainly play it to help find these bugs as basically a massive Q&A team.

I'd personally recommend forgetting about the game because the wait is hard for people who constantly check for updates.

>>151031663
If you want to go GUNZ go FedCorv, if you want to do something else then get something else

Eh, arguable. It's more stuff to do and it does greatly improve your ships. There's still 3 more big updates coming along with Horizons, so you'll probably need it for some of that content, too.

>buy from other players
Nope. You can only buy them from the engineers

>is surface shit just a gimmick?

Also arguable. Driving around in the buggy hunting for mats is kind of fun for a while, and it adds a bunch of new mission types. Raiding ground bases is probably the best part.

>>151035346
>>151035242

On release, Horizons could be bought alone for 45€ and included the base game. There was no option to get Horizons alone if you already had the base game.

non- /edg/ fag here with a question. wtf is "space legs" and why is it important/why do some people think it will save E:D?

>>151042274
Space Legs is colloquial parlance for E:D's promise of adding first person player movement to the game at some time in the future.

>>151042274
Space legs is having the ability to move independently of your ship. Some people here think that that (and only that) is incredibly important.

>>151042603
>>151042492
Space legs when?

>>151042274
I have no idea why people think walking around will save E:D.

Though their expectations regarding that feature are sky-high in comparison to what they'll actually get (for another $60, mind you) so that probably factors in.

>>151043653
I think it's more said as a joke than anything.

>>151043653
I used to think that being able to walk around would naturally bring about some more gameplay content with it. But then I realized, this is FDev, the most we'll get is being able to walk around, see our body and do nothing. We'll be lucky to get fully modeled Cutter/Corvette/Condas to walk around, let alone actually doing anything significant with the ability to get out of your seat.

Got it to work now. Everspace is pretty much just the poor man's FTL. The mechanics are more or less identical (2 or 3 different paths to follow, each jump consumes fuel, warp to the next sector at the end) and combat feels horrible due to tiny hitboxes and every ship pulling ridiculous maneuvers.

tbf I only did a single run so far. Basically you start out in a system with your shitty ship and 4 units of fuel. Every jump consumes 1 unit and you can choose which path to go. Unlike FTL there's not even anything remotely resembling a story. You can collect money and several resources and use them to upgrade the weapons and equipment you found.

>>151043964
You know as well as i that braben will get spesslegs working. He will then model the cheapest area through the ship onto a landing pad. A small panel will then serve as the interaction between pilot and space station. If you want to change from open to private to solo to cycle the board you will have to make that tedious walk everytime.

Thanks to ftroop, even walking is a grind.

>>151047614
I just finished my second run. It was kinda fun, but at some point in the second sector aliens started showing up and their ships are so ridiculously fast that it was pretty much impossible to hit them properly. Then, while flying around the empty level to loot, an alien battleship warped out in front of my face and instantly obliterated me.
I dunno, it feels like it could be a neat game but they definitely need to make significant improvements to combat. Even the basic enemies are so fast that they can completely change direction while your shots are still on the way at less than 1,5km range.

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.

It was some of the worst cancer I've ever seen on /vg/, yeah. Two orgs no-one cared about hijacking every thread and discussion to talk about the same one or two things they did on steamgroups no-one goes to, years ago.

Ironically, once we actually have some form of PU where orgs can exist and compete, there is great potential for that shit being entertaining as fuck.

One of the first posts said something along the lines of "I shot missiles and an ally flew in front of it, it was totally my fault". Dads are beyond delusional. Their lore explanation for why feds come when you hit a wanted pirate without scanning first is that your "report crimes" part of your ship reports your own crimes too.

I will fully admit that org drama is going to be the best shit ever if done right. It's a part of the whole reason I even watch the progress for this game. If Chris can get the instancing system to be able to support enough people for organizations to naturally have 20 v 20s in the PU with economic implications and banter I would shit my pants. I wouldn't even touch the single player or other careers in the game. I personally want to be a black market weapons dealer to fuel the conflict between warring orgs in pirate/uncontrolled space (I highly doubt orgs can be free in safe space) so that I can see the shit unfold. Backstabbing, spying, bombing runs on enemy ships, other orgs being hired to fight against the enemies, the alliances, everything. Ideally we can start out the PU as neutral, set up alliances, and then WW1 happens when some mega org makes a mistake or tries something big.

It's hard to retain hype the more I think about it.
I need to calm down and expect less.

I mean we will never have anything like your pic related, but I'm hopeful too.

To be honest I'm amazed they even have something like the Starfarer working how it already is in game, so who knows how they will implement all this zone system shit.

In that recent magazine video interview Chris seemed pretty optimistic about a new breakthrough they had made with the netcode that could allow way, way more in instances than they had originally envisioned, but I'm remaining ultra skeptical.

If SC experience ends up as single player as ED or even NMS I'd be completely happy with it, in all honesty.

>>151050872
An extremely marginal improvement that is entirely unnecessary for winning a fight and is still gimped by E:D's garbage flight model.

Its paraded about because its the only mode in which E:D ships behave even remotely like spacecraft, and even then not really.

I posted the pic because it's the closest thing I have for reference of this stuff. By no means do I expect EVE levels of combat. My current expectation for PU release (I'm talking 2019 or 2020 here) is 100 players per area with extra bots flying about as well. I've learned to remain skeptical of everything CIG says before they show actual proof of it, so their "we can potentially hold a thousand with the instancing tech we're making" is bullshit until they give it to us.

That said, I still maintain high hopes for enhanced player interaction. Org 2.0 (or whatever they decide to call it) will be when I start playing the alpha a bit more.

butr a connie should take longer to turn than a single seater. it's more about relative time to turn though, it doesn't have to feel like it's taking forever except in comparison to the zippy little guys

a bengal should actually take a full minute to turn around though.

>>151061579
Sorry this is not super related, but your comment about the bengal made me think.
I like the idea that you could try to turn capital ships faster but that they would tear them selves apart with their own mass.
Their is some thing awe inspiring by the acknowledgment that large structures are not ridge have to be engineered to flex, and that if pressed the engines could warp its structure or break it.

I agree with that but the issue is that some people seem to think that anything bigger than a hornet should practically craw through space. Hell, I've seen some that want all the medium ships hobbled just so those fucking manned turrets they have a fetish for become viable.

Yeah, did you expect something more?

Yeah the recipes have changed little to none. But material pick up yields have been tripled (as in you pick up one mat but you get three in most cases.) And overall the ease of finding materials has been increased.

For example I was able to level a engineer to lv 5 and get a 38% mass optimized fsd in about 3 modest play sessions

>>151066707
If you look at the material notes on the pinned blue print I think it show a system and station that sells them.

Do you do anything besides going around and getting materials?

Textures was one of the things on their patch list.

>>151070064
even when the tutorial mission worked, it was a pretty jarring skill curve.

"Okay if you press X, your ship rolls. Can you do a roll? Very Good!"
five seconds later...
"Okay, now follow me through this asteroid field at top speed, then try not to die for five minutes to these enemy fighters while your weapons reboot, and now fight them off, but you don't dare go more than a 100 clicks away from me while doing evasive maneuvers or you'll autofail!"

>>151074480
yeah like I said, I love it. it harkens back to some of CR's earliest games in the WC series and that era, where you had to put in some real dedication just to get into the game because the threshold was so high.

that said a lot of the issues with the tutorial were actual bugs, rather than skill issues and they did fix many of them before disabling the entire thing as it became a dilapidated haunted mansion of a mission

>finally watching that mandalore vid

I really hope he delays SS13 to do a full dissection of Line of Defense after all this shit went diwn. No one's done a properly researched, concise yet well made video detailing what a garbage heap it is yet .

So what would be the better game to get into Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen? I know SC is still working out some kinks but does it seem like it will eventually be better than ED?

>>151076459
there was a german reviewer who did (or tried to do) LOD and actually give it a chance. Derek banned them I believe. there was also a guy I recall doing a video in english after all that who stated he was really going into it open minded and trying to give it a chance.

>>151076569
>Better game to get into

I personally say SC. While Roberts has delays constantly with SC, he doesn't have a "released" product that keeps getting broken, messy, quarter-assed updates along with delays.

>>151076569

ED is dead in the water

SC is starting to look really promising

>>151076569
it really depends what you want. ED is THE GALAZY at full size but a bout an inch deep, where as SC is currently a rad theme park that is also about the size of one. while it will get bigger, it will never even approach the size of ED.

>>151076569
SC isn't released yet. When it is, it will probably be the superior game.

But it might be a nice little arcade-y space game a year or so from now.

>>151076569
ED is released and fully playable, with more features to come in paid expansions.

SC is actually much cheaper and once you buy in you get everything, but it is still years off being complete, it's a much bigger and more ambitious project.

>>151077185
Not years off anymore.

>>151077172
Yeah, definitely Alpha. However, the concept is enjoyable. Though I ran into issues where the second I hopped into a new instance I was immediately bombarded by alien spacecraft or Elite Outlaw scouts.

The controlling needs work. I don't like gimbal controls in any game. I think weapons need balance as I found myself having to use pulse/plasma to knock off shields and then gatling to kill, unless that's what they wanted. Graphics are pretty nice. The game in alpha already has more variety than ED does in terms of locales. Also I found a bug where I can no longer strafe to the right after having re-binded the key. Annoying.

Ehh... probably still a few off. I think Freelancer is a good measure of how long it takes Roberts, tacking on an extra year (had he not been taken off lead and set as consultant) for his autistic need for everything to be perfect.

>>151077628
>Being rused

In what way? Before you pull the trigger, you should know that they're using cryengine netcode in an alpha test. So it will give you shit FPS on their live universe but shit will work fine in the various arena modes.

Both. Original cryengine netcode doesn't know how to only send relevant information, so you get updated on what every single person in the server is doing all the time, even if they're nowhere remotely near you.

>>151078694
Both.

Gtx 970/i5 3570k OC'd gives me silky smooth 24 FPS to 30 FPS if there are a lot of players on. I have gotten 60 FPS before. This is on high. A friend of mine has a GTX 750 Ti and he's able to get 60 fps in Arena last I checked. However, similar frame rate when too many people online in the test universe.

Whole lot of nothing, not much to "actually fly" around.

>Welcome to space travel

It's a video game. Doesn't have to be like that, you realize this?

>>151078839
>it contains 1488 hornets
last I heard, they said the Hulls could only carry dissembled ships because CIG seems to have a hate on for mini-carriers

>>151080650
>hate on for mini-carriers

All of our space sims hate mini carriers for some reason.

There was this mockup. I believe they said at some point that you can carry ships, but you'd have to EVA to remove them form their transport frame and then start them up, which would require some time.

Imagine a bunch of pirates boarding and starting all those up, then shooting their way out like spiders hatching.

nah, when we first agreed to merge somebody asked me, "wait SC has dads?" and I couldn't help myself. I posted some classic RSI autism from years ago when the KS was fresh and everyone's expectations were completely untempered and in full molyneux mode, and one of the most retarded ended up in Mandalore's vid. pic related

the corvette is already killfit, the anaconda is explorationfit, the clipper is utilityfit, the cutter is presently sothisfit.

i was in my glorious 658m/s planet-scouring imperial eagle taking that, money is of little issue for the next three weeks as i wait to be able to purchase prismatics. plenty of time to print credits.

>>151081007
I feel you man. Hope they rework the Cutlass someday to be more modular.

Buccanneer seems OP

Oh, was wondering about that picture. They're so fucking weird

>>151081602
What? 3 S3 and 1 S4 mount on the Hornet vs 1 S4, 2 S3 and 2 S1 on the Buccaneer. Doesn't even have an ejection seat.

Even now he still won't post the mails. I don't get it

Man, you can only dream/hope of something like this being possible, let alone fluid enough to work well.

What a fucking madman

It's hilarious how he keeps blowing Derek Dumb the fuck out even at his loudest screech

why the fuck would posting even MORE information about him being a stalker appease him? does smart actually have brain damage?

but that is true
that's why its shit

No shit

>does smart actually have brain damage?

Yes. This should be patently obvious by now.

Why didn't CIG make their own in-house gane engine?

>>151084009
Because instead of the amount of time it has been taking to develop the game now, it would be double that and cost more.

With all these delays and money, they should have gone all-out. What's another 200million USD and 20 years of development? A small price to pay for what is going to be the game that was promised.

>Doesn't even have an ejection seat.
I suspect that's because they've since made eject seats and lifepods mostly nonfunctional fluff just like beds and showers. When your ship blows up now you'll likely just get a fade to black and youl just wake up/respawn at the nearest med bay regardless of what escape mechanism your ship has. And any pods people see launched from ships are just npc things you can rescue for points/rep/whatever

What's the point of having all these buttons to press, all these useless shit like showers, toilets, food, and gunracks among others?

I hope they have something interesting to show.

Immersion.

>>151085308
Well gun racks are handy to store your damn guns at since you can only carry a couple at a time. The rest are useless fluff

>>151085308
The gun lockers/suit lockers may be functional since you won't be able to pilot shit in heavy armor.


>>151085394
I"m jelly

>>151085535
I see it as a gimmick that only works during the honeymoon phase of the game - like wow ebin amazing :DDDD - but after that people will find it tedious and will just want to cut that shit out and focus more on the real fun stuff - like harvesting player tears, being a greedy kike, and so on.

>>151085308
In some cases it's not even thought out properly. Like the Starfarer toilet+shower in the captain's quarters which are in no way separated from the office and in plain view from the window if someone were to EVA along the side.

>>151085856
Pretty sure shit like showers and toilets weren't be necessary at all.

>harvesting player tears, being a greedy kike

That's quite the jump from showers and toilets

>>151085856
Having them there still adds to your Immersion, whether or not you're actively admiring/rping them, it still adds mental value to the ships to know each one is fully functional and realized.

>>151086059
Maybe a vague relent of realism from everything being cramped on a spaceship, but the captain still having few luxuries, like a private shower.
I don't know how taht shit works in SC though.

Did mandalore remove the part about the girl talking to the sun from his video when he reuploaded it?

>>151081964
Even he got fed up with him?
LOD video soon I hope

>>151086076
Well if you're going to be a kike, you have to have showers nearby.

So how will CIG handle """"""""griefing"""""""""?
How is Frontier handling """"""""""griefing"""""""""""?

I can't wait for ebin stream snipes and ebin streamer tears

>>151086059
Because the starfarer interior was designed to be a fps level instead being a fun, immersive looking space oil tanker

>>151086076
Of course. I assume most people here won't care for unnecessary >muh immersion after a week or a month of playing.
