2nd for group posting

>>151443164
>>151448317

>>151448317
I should have specified, I meant a real person from the community, rather than a character.

>>151448564
Star citizen would have been a complete game and a huge commercial success, today, right this second, if it had the same level of fidelity as Unturned

I like space games but I don't wanna spend like $150 on E:D DLC or $10,000 on Star Shitizen ships I'll never get to actually enjoy

What do

>>151449208
SC: buy basic ship -> steal better ship from whale when implemented

>>151449309
I'm guessing you use the FPS component to board and take control of ships? That'll be really cool if so.

>>151448814
Well, the thing is, no person or personality, whether player or deveoper, has made any sort if meaningful impact on ED since it's initial launch, such is the purposeful staleness of the game.

I guess you can look through those cringy DeviantArt fedora portraits someone made of players with their ships and see if anything takes your fancy.

>>151449208
don't fall for the bullshit and just get a starter ship package for 45 to 60 dollars. Anything beyond that is to further support development, which isn't required to play the current alpha for finished game a few years from now.

>>151449605
yep you can do it now. it will be significantly more difficult when there's actually door controls; currently you can walk right in the back of someone's ship and shoot them right out of the pilot's seat, and all they can do is try to get off the pad before somebody sneaks in.

>>151449208
Play other space games you nignog. Starsector is good, so is House of the Dying Sun.

>>151450814
I've been playing a good amount of Starsector, it's pretty rad.

>>151449208
pick up star citizen on a sale when it's finally live
kill faggots who spent $10000 in your starter ship with friends in starter ships

>>151449651
that is most unfortunate. I was hoping for someone worthy of standing beside our own Dan THE MAN Gheesling.

>>151451465
ain't that the Christian Jesus boy?

>>151449963
>Not using the turret entry exploit to sneak into the ship before they even unlock the door.

>>151451465
>Dan THE MAN Gheesling
I watch his videos because I like watching people who have less skill than myself.

I also find is excited voice extremely grating.

>>151452179
Dan really isn't very good at games, but I appreciate that he seems to honestly like SC, tries out things, and isn't a carebear.

His mannerisms are really annoying, though.

>>151452571
>but I appreciate that he seems to honestly like SC
Yeah, that is the main reason I watch it, he really gets into what he is doing and is very animated. I may find his mannerism peevish like yourself, but I do agree with you about how he gets into it.

Anybody else in the 2.5 PTU?

I'm downloading it now.

So now that the kong shitpost squad is back in full force, how do we deal with them once and for all?

>>151453646
Wait, Dan worked at CIG? When was that?

>>151454270
they hired him to be the community liaison or something during TNGS. the backlash was immediate because he seemed like an 'outsider' not being a filthy neckbeard

>>151454469
Jesus, I had no idea. Man, I may find his mannerisms annoying but at least he cares about the game. What a horrible community.

I remember seeing Dan The Man appear on TNGS for the first time. Didn't like him, but he was bearable. I feel bad for him now, seeing how much he legitimately likes the game.

>>151454270
>>151454469
>>151454691
>>151456278
Even /scg/ is guilty of shitting on him. There were a lot of people who thought he was a "poser".

>>151454469
>>151454691
Personally I didn't have a problem with him as a person. They just happened to bring him on at a time when CIG was apparently haphazardly spending money on top of having shill sale after shill sale when I felt they should have been more conservative. It felt more like he was a victim of bad timing than anything.

What ship is that?

>>151461718
They did a tour of F42 Frankfurt with Brian Chambers and Chris+Erin. Got to see Star Marine and procedural planets, could play the build. Landing on Nyx, the planet looks significantly better than 2015. Terrain looks great and even the curvature of the horizon is correctly simulated. They can simulate orbital motion of planets, day/night cycles. Seamless space/ground transition kept in mind for missions, will profit S42 as well. They have a powerful editor for topography and biomes, which get automatically blended. Objects like hidden ruins/wrecks/stations etc. can be included for exploration.
Star Marine in 26 outside of the PU on its own new maps. "They put a lot of effort into reworking fps mechanics, which is noticable compared to the rudimentary system in 2.4" -Roberts. The gameplay they showed looked excellent. Animations, controls and gunplay feel smooth and it's a good gameplay experience for fps fans.
Procedural planets in 2.7 with Hurston and Microtech coming in following patches. Full Stanton system with all landing zones and stations (40 locations) before the end of 2016, including more missions and the ability to buy/sell stuff. New netcode that allows more players in the same instance. Less instancing is the goal.

CIG nerfed it pretty bad a while back, when they realized that there was still a viable multi-purpose sub 100 dollar ship available. They made the main gun overheat super fast and knocked the combat speed down to 210m/s (also might have made it a bit more fragile, hard to say)

The new 2.5 patch. buffs the speed back up to 240m/s. Gatling gun still overheats quickly though. But yes, it's still the best ship you can get for under 70 dollars, since the Reliant has turned out to be a huge disappointment.

>>151462537

I feel like they're actually properly starting on the game at full steam now, and all the stuff in the past was preparatory shit.

>>151462860
Are you the same guy that keeps taking missions like this? You know you can check the system map before you accept the mission, right? It tells you how far from jump in it is.

>>151463590
>cant even recognize the ship that i currently fly

>>151463043
Oh, also they said planetary landing has "a better technical execution that Elite". Planets apparently also benefit greatly from the new lighting system. They say it's impressive how you transition from space to ground and all the details appear. Also the volumetric clouds look good with summits peeking through them and everything. There's no view range limit, so valleys and mountains in the distance slowly disappear in the fog. Somthing about parralax occlusion mapping. Also AI activity/update-/tick rate scales based on how many players are around.
Also something about PBR and how the handheld railgun has 60k polys.

>>151464037

No. I always check. This was a mission to get engineer access though, so no way I wasn't taking it.

They're priced pretty similarly though, strangely. It's just a matter of grinding up to the point I can switch between them depending on the mission. Honestly, I'll probably end up keeping the FDS just because I actually sort of enjoy flying it, strangely enough. Not enough to keep the rest of the game from being boring, but enough to make it slightly less bullshit.

That's pretty much what you'd expect to find around most red dwarf or cooler stars in the real galaxy.

Check hotter stars if you want less ice.

Any way to set up rudder pedals along a hotas for SC or is it only single controllers as is?

SC can do multiple controllers. The menu is terrible at actually listing which controller is which though

Didn't seem to recognise pedal input but maybe that was my fault then.

>>151474391
Does it work with a Steam Controller?

>>151471119

Everybody stays within 1Kly of Earth or beelines for famous stars or nearby nebulae. So don't do that.

If you want uncharted territory, make a mad dash around 3Kly in a random direction (like not directly towards a nebula or the core) and suddenly everything is unexplored. The scale of the galaxy is so huge that it's literally impossible for even a small fraction of it to be covered.

Also learn what different star classes look like on the galaxy map, because there's some crazy shit right out in the middle nowhere and you might spot some nearby that way.

>>151474618
Which pedals? The CH ones tend too be crotchety if you don't use their driver configuration tool.
>>151474714

Have there been any specifics of mining as a mechanic in SC?

>>151477878
Not yet, aside from the stuff they released when they did the prospector jpg sale. So far it seems like they want it to be a great deal more involved and specialized than it is in most space games

I second this. It's surreal to think about the old wingman hangar days when all we could do was walk around a hangar.

>>151480428
And I was still amazed back then, although for a lot less time.

Hey guys Im new to Star citizen and have a few question

1) is it a mmo?
2) how does the hangar work? Is it a instanced place or is your hangar actually floating somewhere? Can your friends visit you with their ship etc?
3) what should I actually download for the next free testing event? Last time I missed the chance to test this game on my pc.

thanks

>>151483835
1
its two games, mmo and single player campaign
2
instanced for now, the goal is to have it in the universe and your friends can visit, etc.

I'll take feature bloat and incompetent leadership for 500

>>151483835

>1) is it a mmo?

As of now the game has been split into two pieces. Star Citizen, which is the multiplayer persistent universe, and Squadron 42, which is the singleplayer story-driven campaign. The persistent universe is pretty much an MMO. Moreso an MMO than a lot of games that claim to be. Most of the ships and characters you meet will be NPCs thanks to instancing and sheer population density though. If I remember right they wanted to have 9 NPCs for every 1 player as a means to fill out the game.

>2) how does the hangar work? Is it a instanced place or is your hangar actually floating somewhere? Can your friends visit you with their ship etc?

Right now the hangar exists as its own little bubble. I'm not sure of the exact details as far as how they want to implement them or which locations you can start from. Hangars will eventually be tangible places but right now they're glorified showrooms with only a passing connection to the Baby PU and the landing zone Area 18. You can switch between the three areas using an elevator in your hangar.

>3) what should I actually download for the next free testing event? Last time I missed the chance to test this game on my pc.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/download

The installer/patcher is always available here. The next free flight event will probably coincide with Gamescom next week. They like to do free flights around events where they do presentations.

thank you for the answers

>Most of the ships and characters you meet will be NPCs thanks to instancing and sheer population density though

but it is still one server and you could meet everyone?

NPC are not bad, every mmo needs them

>>151485167

>but it is still one server and you could meet everyone?

If you mean in the style of EVE Online, where every single player is in the same instance as long as they're in the same star system, no. With the amount of resources and bandwidth it takes to keep everything running at the level of detail the game operates on, every player in a star system is not necessarily in the same instance.

That said, they've done a lot of very interesting things with instancing. For example, the outside of a ship and the inside of a ship exist as instances that can be seamlessly transitioned between by players. They're setting up a system where individual areas, ships, and even sections of ships can be separate instances while exchanging information in such a way as to function as if they were all the same instance. This is especially important when they start sticking Capital Ships with potentially dozens of players in the game.

>>151485442
They called it the zone system. Should be with 2.7 as they'll have to include new netcode with procedural tech, which would otherwise be the instancing system alone.

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.

lame, but the devs have said that's not going to last. they want automated security systems and maybe NPC guards that will blow you away for fighting depending on the station to keep things from turning into a constant deathmatch, but they want grimhex to eventually be completely weapons free (free as in unrestricted) at some point in the future.

It makes it look like another aerodynamic piece of spaceplane shit.

the older Hornet, going right back to the original GDC one was blocky as hell, it looked like a Star Wars style spaceship.

But we can't have that, everything has to look as much like a jet fighter as humanly possible.

It no-longer even has the cool X-wing style cockpit.

>>151508516
It's a dramatically different game with a very different audience (mostly console meme lovers)

>>151509754

because house is a faggot

>>151510279
the hornet has always been a spaceplane, there's no getting away from that. the number 1 complaint about it has always been that it was way too fat, the original cockpit was the size of a small car interior. that's fine for a civ craft which the mk1 is, but for military it's bloat.

>>151510582
Slimming it was good, but changing it's iconic blocky nose and squareness away from being a space-crate to looking like another identical jet fighter was completely unnecessary. It was actually one of the least space plane looking fighters before, which goes to show just how much like spaceplanes every ship is.

>>151510279
>>151510809
You don't have to fly it if you don't want to anyway. It's exclusive to S42 and they said that you can choose between the old and new model.

Y-wing was my favorite (and most broken/OP) ship in all of Star Wars Battlefront 2. The lasers were the best once you got used to the velocity, and did heavy damage. Also, getting up to a transport and hitting them with torpedoes melted them in 2 or 3 hits.

Y-Wing will have a special place in my heart, even from X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. Its just a fucking bruiser.

Is Levski located in Stanton?

>>151520357
No, it's in Nyx. The planets in Stanton are Crusader, Arccorp, Hurston and Microtech.

>>151511389
It is.
It's so shitty we'll be able to add back NMS to this thread in a few days.

>>151520056
fug I thought gamescom was this weekend

>>151520357
it will be in 2.7 because the Crusader alpha system is a mash together of whatever's done and needs testing. at full launch it will have it's own system and it won't be on a full planet, but a big asteroid.

I has question about planets in Star Citizen. Will they have some kind of gravity fall off? Say, if you're within a certain distance of a celestial body, will the gravity begin slightly influencing your ship to go towards it, requiring you to fly farther away if you don't want to have to constantly realign yourself?

If it would be real, I can already see some ship getting fucked in low orbit and then slowly falling towards the planet.

>>151520357
No, but they are going to move it there until they have jump points working apparently.

>>151521107
They're already working on an atmospheric flight model and the large (industrial) ships are supposed to be unable to land on planets. I assume there will be something like you described.

>>151521107
I think that's the plan yeah, and I hope they do it justice.

I am actually thinking of melting it because of how single use it is in favor of the Polaris whenever that is released.

You can't alt-tab out and back in, it runs like shit, it crashes a lot, it has a console interface, it still tells you to press PS4 gamepad buttons, it has a shitass draw distance, the graphics are outdated.

>>151521107
>If it would be real, I can already see some ship getting fucked in low orbit and then slowly falling towards the planet.

An impact sufficiently large to displace its orbit like that would more than likely shred the ship or splash the occupants.

Unless the planets are smaller than kerbal ones.

thanks fampais. It would be fun to see someone get rekt within the gravity influence area and then go at an increasingly fast speed to the surface. Will the speeds that we enter atmosphere at create something like fire at the front of the ships or is this too specific for what they told us so far?

>>151521570
Not at all. I plan to hunt larger ships as well. Sell Redeemer for Gladiator though. I don't think boarding is going to be worth it when you can get trapped in a hallway.

>>151521570
The retailator is terrible ship that was intentionally designed to need constant fighter support to do anything. Any other bomber would be a better choice, even considering their less powerful torpedos.

>>151522484
this and the FOV slider is definitely a lie, feels like 60 when it goes up to 100

Well for one thing, even the current mini persistent universe and space combat is better than anything in nms that involves space ships.

>>151522538
>Sell Redeemer for Gladiator though.
I have a vanguard and SH though, so I dont really see the purpose of doing that.

>>151522563
Hence why it will now be traded for the Polaris.

Not saying that it wont be too little to late for nms but star citizen gets nothing but vigorous testing.

what can you do with the redeemer anyway? transporting few soldiers, yes I know but can you make money with it with quests also pve?
Is it worth for pvp somehow?

To throw myself into this conversation of bombers n shieeet, given the way that things currently work and will perceivably work in the future, I'm of the opinion that instead of having 6 people crew a single retaliator, You're better off with multiple Gladiators. Mainly because of >>151522563. The retaliator relies on other ships to not get solo-raped by a fighter, even with the buffed turrets.

It has really powerful torpedoes, but the use of the heavy bomber is over when it drops those. If I may drop some squadron autism, a group of 2 retaliators would require 12 - 14 crew to be at full efficiency, and will run after dropping the ordinance. A group of 6 Gladiators (or more, if the turrets are used by the pilot), however, can drop their weaker ordinance in higher volume, but can still fight off fighters or continue to shoot the ship with it's somewhat usable guns, so it stays in the fight.

>>151522484
>You can't alt-tab out and back in, it runs like shit, it crashes a lot
for a second I thought you were talking about star citizen

>>151523349
It's essentially a no-brainer upgrade from the cuttle-ass. It has a docking collar, so you can presumably board ships. If it stays in its current state, it can be a good main-ship for a small group of fighters.

>>151523608
but NMS is released as a finished product anon.

It's very rare that I regret pirating something

>>151523349
It has one small cargo hold stock and you'll be able to swap out the dropship module for a second cargo hold. They also mentioned a module that can carry a planetary rover.

>>151523103

I bought a Redeemer when it still had LTI. I've been hoping they'd unfuck the design by they've apparently had the guy who made it working on other shit so it never got done. I was really reluctant to melt it but the Caterpiller + 2 Dragonfly LTI sale finally convinced me.

>>151523141
not really. the mini universe is only good for a few hours worth of content, and the arena combat mode is in a horrible state since they're inbetween overhauling the ship component system. Maybe by 1st quarter 2017.

That depends, do you consider a few hours of fun better than hundreds of hours of abject boredom?

>>151525292
I like the truck driver routine vibe that ED has.

I just want to know what the gameplay loop is in the current game. Mine, fight, sell, pvp? How grindy is it to get a $1000+ ship? More than eve or less than eve?

To add to this, you could really just have Gladiators, Wardens, and some fighters escort a Retaliator or two if it's serious business.

I wonder if CIG will actually make a way that bomber groups could get jobs to bomb certain ships that aren't vanduul. Say, if you're on the bad side of the law, you get a mission to bomb some faggots 890Jump because he's been fiddling with pirate money or assets. Or a political opponent. That would be the best, most exciting shit ever.

There's a few simple quests in the current build of Star Citizen, PvP, and some freeform gameplay involving fighting NPCs. Mining, cargo hauling, and shit like that aren't implemented yet. The $1000+ ships aren't even in-game yet and even if they were you wouldn't be able to get them with the in-game currency since barebones persistence was just added recently.

CIG has been all-hands-on-deck making Squadron 42 for the last several months and the additions to the alpha have been simple and steady. If you're looking for a game to sit down and play for hours on end right now you probably don't want to drop $45-$60 on Star Citizen for another couple months.

The $1000 ships are decommissioned UEE Navy Frigates and they're not going to be very common. They were sold in limited numbers and probably won't be something you can just go out and drop a shit ton of UEC on any time you want one when the game gets up and running. Probably going to need a high reputation and contacts in the Navy.

>>151525923
Shame I missed the TB stream and ragequit. That must've been fun.

I hope the Herald doesn't end up being a worthless piece of shit. It's the only ship bought.
