Hey, for all you fags grinding rank in E:D, I got a breakthrough for you.

At 100% I got no missions, doing 17 Drac. Refreshed for 20 minutes. Decided "fuck it" and did more donation missions. As soon as I hit 5% into the next rank, the mission immediately popped into the mission board without refreshing. Curious, I cycled modes a few times, and there was a fed navy mission every single time. Tried it next time I hit 100%, same result, nothing until 5-6% into the rank, then 100% there. So if you're cycling with no luck, maybe this info will help.

Sorry if it's old info, but I never came across it.

But damn I hope they tell me SOME kind of fucking content is getting released into SC.

Because I can only take Korea for so long.

Even if it says 100%, you may not actually be exactly at 100%. It's annoying.

>>151630994
The most that can be released at gamescom is 2.5. The more important thing is when they show what they're working on to prove they aren't sitting on their ass, so planets FPS and shit. Expect FPS around the time citizencon happens or slightly before it.

If you want stuff like another solar system, procedural planets right now, you might as well forget about SC until march next year to make the wait easier. Or you can go full blown masochist and come back in 2018.

Are you autistic enough to want to bother building up huge starbases with poorly made tools and then put up with the retarded AI having to run trade routes between your stations or your stations and NPC stations?
If yes, go for it.

You might as well accept it now. This game will take another 3 - 3.5 years. Forgetting about it is the hard part, but those first few months of trying to forget will make the next 3 years easier to bear. I'm planning to forget about the game starting right after gamescom. I don't really care for the single player aspect so citizencon isn't particularly interesting enough to come back.

It's really a whole lot easier to do when you have classes, a sport, a job, or something to take up your time.

alright niggers i'm sick of erectile dysfunction's shitty combat, I want a different kind of shit. Is there anything like freelancer that isn't freelancer?

>>151632594
>This game will take another 3 - 3.5 years

That way of looking at things is totally wrong. There is already a game, playable, that they are constantly updating and providing customer service for.

We'll have the whole of the Stanton system to explore before the end of the year, after that comes more systems, while at the same time bigger and bigger ships will be coming online and flyable.

what do we have right now?
3 space stations with a few other probes
3 planetary objects (that we cannot land or fly in, yet)
lots of fighters with a few other kinds of ships.

What do we still need?

All careers: mining, cargo, refueling, repairing, everything.
Many more ships that are larger with specific ways of usage
Economy
NPCs that are more than just pirates and police
plenty more space stations
Everything First Person Shooter
Procedural planets + 100 star systems with many landing zones

I can just keep going on, but I don't feel like it. This alpha is missing so much of what the base game will need that I don't even have to explain it all. Given the recent progress, I personally think that a Q3 2020 launch is reasonable. They have so much shit to do that it's unreal, so I made my estimate 2.5 years higher, which was originally set for 2018.

Do not dupe faggots into thinking this game will release as described in the near future. I'm not saying this because lul derekt shart maym. I'm just trying to be realistic with what we have, what we know, and what we don't have.

I think the kickstarter was the biggest mistake on the entire idea of making Star Citizen in the first place.

Like. For example. A publisher has some say in what the developer can and cant do, based on budget and time. And I feel like that's exactly what they need right now. Is someone breathing down their necks, saying. "Why are we spending so much money making ships when we dont even have anything to do with the ships"

And we as players who love a game that we let our imaginations run wile can say "Oh man, but in 2018 when this game comes out. It's gonna be the shit" without ever having to prove anything to ourselves or anyone else.

I think Chris Roberts is just afraid of a publisher telling him to hurry up, and to cut features. And that's almost 100% of the reason he went to kickstarter. Because I can almost guarantee with the stuff he had to make the kickstarter successful, he could have sold the idea to a publisher with a fuckton of money and resources.

Not who you replied to, but
>publishers
>allowing this amount of freedom, openness, and ambition

I don't think you know publishers well enough. I do not want this game rushed because a publisher wants to compete for some spot. Yes, it's taking a long time, but new IPs always do. I have enough other stuff going on that waiting for a game isn't terribly difficult like some person who's here every single day reading every single peace of information they can get.

Anyway, they made tons of money and hired hundreds of people. I think they can do it.

>>151636483
it's 4chan
disillusionment with anything is sort of our deal

>>151634932
I'm quite certain that they have a lot of that somewhat working internally to some degree. Remember the Lando leak with like 40gb of assets nobody had ever seen? I'm sure that, in the 1-1,5 years, they made significant progress and have even more stuff stashed away to bring out when appropriate.

>alliance mining engineer in Kuk system
Top Zozzle

>>151634932
You forgot to list that what we have now is a functioning engine with a fleet of mostly fighters, and even nearly cap ship sized vessels with their own internal physics.

The main thing the game needs right now is some kind of trading, and that will be coming soon.

I never said anything about the game being released as described soon, just that it is already a game that you can play, and there is going to be way more of it pretty damn soon. I still don't' think they'll be able to expand to anything like the size they promised for years though.

>>151635882
Chris Roberts went to publishers. No one was interested.
He even went to EA and they told him to make Call of Duty

>>151635882
>I think the kickstarter was the biggest mistake on the entire idea of making Star Citizen in the first place

Seeing that it became the most successful crowdfunded project ever, and kickstarter is the whole reason we are even getting this game in the first place, you couldn't be possibly more wrong.

Stop whining about a game halfway through its development not being finished yet.

The actual mistake was the feature creep in the crowdfunding campaign that followed the kickstarter, they should've dialled that down way way faster than they did. It's not like it stopped money coming in.

>>151636483
What's a Star Marine?

Do not become that person. I personally refuse to believe it until I see it. We have no evidence that any of the careers, aside from perhaps the beginning of law enforcement (lol) is in any kind of basic state of utility. Disco dropped a leak of a few early WIP capital ships for Sq42. Wow. While it does show they had stuff they didn't tell us about yet, a few capital assets are nothing compared to a working game mechanic like mining, tied into the whole economic system they plan to have.

>>151637105
>capital sized
wrong. The smallest capital ship we know of is the Idris. I will agree, however, that the zoning system is impressive for the room rendering stuff.

>>151637550
35% maybe. Halfway point (personal opinion) will be two solar systems connected in alpha. After that, all groundwork is set and they can build everything off of it very quickly.

>>151637938
Did you blank out the word before capital?

>>151638010
I would like to see at least one career... One.

>>151637362

this >>151637550
Not even close to halfway bruv. I still stand by my 4 more years estimate. In time, yes, it would be halfway if it does release in 2020, but content wise? no higher than 15%, if their stretch goals were any indication of what they have left to do.

>>151637507
Yeah, supposed to be a "training mode" in the PU, that functions as a TDM shooter.

>>151638145
>if their stretch goals were any indication of what they have left to do
Most of the stretchgoals are supposed to be post-release .

>>151638010
With a game like this, the tech is the hard thing to get right. They've already got the most impressive technical feature working.

>>151638145
> In time, yes, it would be halfway if it does release in 2020, but content wise

What the fuck did you think I meant by halfway? Obviously content wise they have barely started, think of much they spent just "developing pipelines".

>>151638069
Didn't Roberts show some of the scavenger, talking about how their tools strip away chunks of the ship, and you'd have to know valuable spots on ships to strip it quickly?

>>151638069
Trading will be the first one in I think, and thats when it'll start to come together.

>>151638376
I was more talking. One career in the game that we can play with. But I would love to see this footage if you can find it, because I have no idea what you're talking about.

Please find it. Im desperate.

>>151637507

>What's a Star Marine?

Two teams of people with FPS weapons and armor shoot the dogshit out of eachother. If I recall correctly one of the flagship game modes is Capture The Idris. It's supposed to be a simulation of a boarding party fighting a security party. Don't know how close we are to having the Idris in-game, but I'd expect Team Deathmatch to be the first game mode.

Don't expect wide open battlefields with vehicles from Star Marine. That kind of shit might come later on down the line now that procedural planets is being fucked with but not any time soon.

>>151638069
Not him, but the first career to be implemented is apparenlty cargo which will be after 2.7

we have quite a while to go, my Star Citizen friends.

>>151638296
incorrect. It was stated explicitly that those things were meant for the start of the game. Many star systems, all of the careers, and the economy are essential for what SC plans to be. Launching the game without them would kill it.

After flying it in combat and in the PTU thing against two hornets I am really split between upgrading to an M50 or keeping the 325a and maybe getting some Mustang for racing

>>151638568

>>151638629
>It was stated explicitly that those things were meant for the start of the game
CR said multiple times that a majority of stretchgoals is stuff they'd like to do at some point, not necessarily on the initial release.

>>151638629
I think he initially planned for it all to be done at release. Took a step back after having money shoved in his face.

And then said "oh fuck, how am I going to do this"

>>151638721
Whatever you do don't make decisions that involve real money based on the current PTU balance, everything is always up in the air.

>>151638721
Get the m50. From a person who got wrecked by a group of 3 of these in BR, I can tell you they are stupidly hard to hit.

>>151638853

ctrl - f "launch".
100 star systems. If they can make these with their respective landing zones (3 or 4 for huge systems, maybe 1 or 2 for small ones) then I have no doubt they can make all of the other stretch goals reality at launch as well, given ample time.

OP/whoever may post the next thread. I realized that I forgot a couple games (Dual Universe, Space Engineers, etc) so I made a new one and added them to it. Title updated to differentiate from the old version

True, I just had a blast dancing around the Hornets with cruise mode and boost.

Perhaps the 50 wouldn't even be so bad given that it's probably gonna stay fast either way.

christ, no cargo till at least 2.8? I would hope they'll at least give us more accurate capacity numbers for ships before then or explain how the hell ship A can hold 30 units in the same volume of space that ship B only holds 12 units in.

>>151639878
and freelancer is a 13 year old game and does not have close to the amount of detail of SC. With procedural tech it will not be as hard, but they have lots of landing zones to go.

>>151639985
Freelancer had Microsoft breathing down their neck after the game was halfway developed.

>>151639772
Is it that small? I've not yet encountered one, but I've not been in AC.

>>151640105
Freelancer is still top shit though, except turret controls.

>>151640209
See >>151637550

>>151640274
I didn't say it was a bad game though.

Also, yes, the m50 is a very hard ship to hit. It's fast, and it's tiny as all hell. Much like >>151633514 said, a large group of them is gg. You cannot win in that situation.

>>151640468
>>151639772
What is currently the best weapon loadout for an M50?

>>151640673
You're probably safe with 2 fixed laser repeaters. S1 guns are useless in this game, hence fixed. Ammo runs out quickly, hence energy weapons. Repeaters are consistent in damage and easy to use with fast cooldown speed, hence laser repeaters. You can try other guns if you want, but this seems like the best strat for now.

>>151640984
Seriously? I haven't played AC in a long time, but back when I was a top50 pilot flying M50s, the accepted wisdom was always to go for high dps low rate of fire, because you could never afford to spend too much time in any single position. Taking high damage potshots is the right way to fly M50, or at least it used to be.

>>151638580

>>151641495
Considering real life designs a bunch of heavy hitters aren't too stupid for a fast fighter.

>>151641495
Use the m50 in AC again."high damage potshots" mean absolutely nothing in a game with shields and fighters that have very powerful armor. I personally think it's best to make extended runs on enemies when they aren't shooting at you. Super hornets are easy targets because they're huge. Never stop moving btw, and get some friends to do the same. A squadron of 3 - 5 m50s kitted out like this are impossible to beat. You don't even have to be malogos or Snakeeyes because getting hit is just hard.

>>151642794

who?

>>151640673
I think the S2 tarantulas or the mass drivers are still your best shot of actually killing anything in a m50.

Now I'm confused. I checked the store and saw the 325a should have that Klaus Sledge II massdriver. Mine doesn't have that thing but something else though and I'm positive I never touched anything on the ship up to now.

So if I decided to keep the 325a but also get an M50, should I upgrade to transfer the LTI to the M50 and then buy another 325a, or just buy an M50 without LTI?

>>151649643
LTI probably won't matter, but since it's nice to have, you should wait until the Argo sale next week. Then you can buy one and use that to upgrade to an M50.

>>151650867
>Argo
What would that do though? Do some of the new ships still get LTI when purchasing?

I have to wait anyhow, it's not like the M50 is on sale, I'm just hoping for next week.

>>151651162
>Do some of the new ships still get LTI when purchasing?
Ya, first time a ship goes on sale it gets LTI. It's where the term "LTI Token" come from, when a ship is bought for the purpose of upgrading it later.

>>151651162
>Do some of the new ships still get LTI when purchasing?

typically LTI is available on the first sale of a ship so you would be able to buy the Argo then upgrade it to an M50

>and kickstarter is the whole reason we are even getting this game in the first place

Kickstarter came only after the pledge campaign basically already achieved every stretch goal and only brought in like 500k lel.

Didn't they only use Kickstarter because they're website kept crashing due to too much traffic?

That explains why it got 2.1 million dollars on Kickstarter then.

i thank you for your vote of confidence kafir

Can someone explain to me how gamescom is going to work for CIG this year? It says it's like 4 days long with a livestream.

pls explain: what day I should be watching the livestream, and what day will have the really important bits. also, is the livestream for new content or just regular gameplay?

Its Elite Dangerous general shitposting slang. I think it references that a lot of ED's playerbase are dads escaping into the game.

I think. I stopped going to the general once found out the game was a grind fest.

is E:D + Horizon currently worth 50 bucks?

>>151655954
no

>>151655954
Wait for a sale and get the base game if you want it.

I can't speak for Horizons, but I doubt it helps too much with keeping the game interesting.

>all these delusional posters still hyped for Old Mans Last Game:$1000 Dollar Ships

It will be worse than ED and a literal shitfest

I smell bait

>>151654598
so being realistic about the current state of the game is unpleasant? Have the past 4 years of SC's development taught you anything about holding back expectations and not making assumptions?

>>151655954
"worth" 50 dollars, in a sense of gameplay value, hell no. Worth that much in a monetary value for purchase? no.

is horizons worth buying or is the base game gud enuff

"dads" are people who want to preserve the slower-paced gameplay inherent in Frontier and First Encounters where spaceflight was a slow-paced affair most of the time except when you get attacked. Its fucking space, its big as fuck and mostly empty.

Their opposite are teenagers who want Call of Duty:AD3200 with fast paced visceral gameplay. ED never was a game for them but their moms bought it for them and now they want it turned into a twitch shooter

Did Tony Zurovec speak about the extents to which people will be able to hire NPCs? I know he talked about getting large sets of simple NPCs to fill larger ships with life, but what about ones in fighter squadrons? I want to know how many fighter NPCs we would be able to hire to be our bodyguards.

I have to admit that I'm not a good pilot, but the Constellations maneuverability got hit so hard that even a Freelancer can strafe faster than the thing can turn in decoupled mode. The S5 guns deal decent damage if they hit, but a) the lag pips are still not on target due to desync or whatever and b) they get disabled more or less instantly after a few hits. In the end I killed the guy in the Freelancer, but only had 1 gun and 2 engines left. Would have lost much earlier if he would have been able to hit shit with the gimbaled S3s.

>>151658000
Its not the slow pace.
Dads are against any qualitative improvement just because the original didnt have it, and rationalize the grindy nature of the game as not being a grind because you aren't forced to get bigger ships, the cobra mk3 is the perfect ship.

>>151658000
Thanks for the unbiased explanation, dad.

>>151658000
Hello dad!

Kill yourself. If this is a genuine post, I hope you're ashamed for ruining E:D

>>151658580
Gimballed S4s are going to be baller. Although, if they stick with this trend, larger ships are going to be so slow and hard to maneuver that, out of pure convenience, people might opt out for large groups of smaller ships.

Forumdads are people who grew up playing the original ELITE in the 80s and want E:D to be nothing more than a HD remake. They hate pvp, believing pvpers to be literal psychopaths in real life, and are the reason we have open/private/solo instead of open and a static offline. They are also the reason nothing improves, as every time someone brings up a useful addition (credit exchange between players, commodity/ship part storage, your ship knowing someone firing on you is wanted without needing to scan them first) they shout that person down, screaming about Chinese goldsellers or that storage would make it less challengIng, or that there's no problem with the bounty/wanted system, you just need to "check your fire".

>>151657181
I hold back expectations on everything. I know the scope of SC is enormous and it hasnt really been done before to this magnitude before. That's mainly what intrigues me about SC. If they can actually pull this off, its going to be ridiculous, maybe it could even top wow in how it influenced gaming as a whole. Maybe companies will start thinking about making their credibility as developers increase instead of just sucking purchased IPs dry with yearly rushed polished turds with no substance.

And its not even really about if SC gets finished or not. Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out in the player base as well. A large galaxy needs a large amount of players to populate it. Will this game bring back professions like in the days of Star Wars Galaxies? Where people dont log in only for combat but to maintain a corporation.

Not to mention it could pull the focus away from consoles in terms of gaming, which means less bullshit simplification, streamlining, and limiting of games.

You cant really shit out a product like that quickly, especially if you are starting an entire company established across the globe at the same time. Its expected to start at a snails pace but development will pick up speed as time progresses. Hell I think its already starting to move at a decent pace now.

I really dont expect anything like this to happen, but the mere chance of witnessing a large change in the game developing trend does keep me patient.

I may have gotten off topic a little bit.The comment of you being unpleasant is mainly how you present yourself. Comments starting with "wrong." scream immaturity and bitterness to me.

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.

>>151658608

Only legitimate reply to my post.

ED has at this point less content than First Encounters had at launch 23 years ago. It really needs planet landing and not the half assed horizons bullshit. It needs the core systems handcrafted. Needs more mission variety and events. I believe it was a mistake to make it MMO but they wouldnt ger money otherwise.

But core gameplay is fine, if you prefer Freelancer casual bullshit just drop thr game. Its not for you.

>>151657814
If that's what you like doing, than I suppose Elite is the game for you. I personally wouldn't recommend the game to anyone because of its sickening lack of depth in anything it has, but that's me.

I honestly expect that you will only be able to hire as many npc wingmen as your ship has hanger room for ships. Will also stop those faggots with Hull Zs or what ever the highest one was to make easy money right from the start with hiring their own npc squadron flying besides them.

>hangar room
if this was the limitation, nobody would be able to hire NPC fighter crews since the only ships that can carry a full-on fighter is the Idris and Javelin, which is 3 and 1 respectively. I don't have a problem with people who have Hull series ships hiring NPC fighters for defense when going places, but I would be against people being able to hire 20 NPC fighters for themself, even if they somehow had the money for it. This is why I wanted to know if he mentioned any kind of hard limitation on these specific kinds of NPCs.

anon, if their word means anything, massive ships will have operational costs set very high so you can't just start the game with the largest ship and become rich. At least that's what they say, but it makes sense for ships that need lots of crew, fuel, and whatever other costs attached.

Outside, pitching arse over nose, the freighter they'd murdered scattered its guts and prolapsed its crew. Shat its atmosphere with hideous grace and an undeniably romantic sparkle.
And so:
She laughed her breathless laugh. She groaned her mannish groan. She rolled her eyes and repositioned her legs, a lizardlike yank, a feral smile, to pull him deeper inside.
'Myquel,' she whispered, gripping him. 'Myquel Dobroba Pela-LeSire Lequire.'
It had become her habit, he'd noticed, to murmur his name at least once during sex. Just as it had become his to wonder, when she said it, if she were adoringly savouring the syllables or mocking the pomposity of his having so many. Whichever it was (and with Teesa there was a good chance it was both) the neurotic uncertainty was always banished within moments. Her next movement, her next shudder, her next moan. There simply wasn't room in his brain, he'd accepted, for both her and rational thought.

You felt like a giant mech, and you had a huge circle for a reticle, and you pointed that circle at shit you wanted dead, then proceeded to obliterate that shit.

>>151669472

Did you know that Star Citizen has Mechs?

>>151671964
Prove it.

>>151671496
I can understand why they added mouseaim to get more players to a f2p game just like I understand it with War Thunder.

But unlike WT it made MWO feel so bad.

>>151633372
i can't believe they thought that ship handling was worth releasing
and never being able to crash in the atmosphere is terrible with the invisible wall

>>151672435
But if you crashed you might get hurt! We wouldn't want that in our survival game, now would we?

>>151673457
Low Cost combined with Heavy Fighter means it was always going to be. Heavy combat ships only work when they can pile enough big weapons and defences to make up for all the hits they'll be taking. The Viper mk4 isn't worth enough to be able to do that.

What's this then?

>>151677342
in SC it's a ship. Named the polaris

>>151677236
We haven't even seen it yet, but I'm confident it's going to be a favorite among orgs. If I do not come across owning one in-game, I'll dedicate myself to destroying one somehow. I really really want to see big ships explode. I doubt blowing up an Idris is going to be easy at all, but the Polaris will only be 100 - 120m. A massive bombing run on it should do the trick.

>>151677824
that's like naming a ship "Battleship"!

>>151677726
Sadly it's not the same universe. Pity, loved the Kilrathi. Any of you guys read the Kzin books? Great shit, Roberts even paid tribute with the Niven System.

>>151678018
Haha, Braben is terrible about that. Federal Dropship/Gunship/Assault Ship/Corvette, and Imperial Clipper/Cutter. Then the other ships get actual individual names, like Python. Makes no sense. I guess the Federal is what designates it. As in a "federal corvette" is the specific name of a type of corvette. Still, kinda shit. Like naming a carrier type "USA CARRIER".

X series is on sale on Bundlestars. 22 dollars for what looks to be the entire X series.

>>151678780
Shame the only one worth playing is X3TC.

>>151658489
I don't think he talked about how many we could hire, only what the individual skill limitations were. All NPC's will be able to do basic jobs like engineering, ship security etc at the start. They will begin to shine as pilots or whatever else once we start "taking a chance on them" and give them risky assignments.

>>151678590
They should've stuck to the bird naming scheme for all Core Dynamics Ships. There's the Eagle, the Vulture, then every other ship is named after what kind of ship it is. It's weird.

>>151671239

you can travel around the universe. There are ships that can go FTL. But the ships are a bitch to control. They're not the main focus.

Sounds autistic, but IIRC when they unveiled Olisar they said that the connection parts of those kinds of stations can be mixed and matched and they'd all fit. They're also apparenlty working on a lot of different stations, but it's hearsay until le russian proof bird is satisfied.

>>151685460
I know
But fuck that. It looks stupid for a "Dying Star" if that's what is implied. To make it an actual system it would need to be completely remade, which is something I expect for it considering it's years old.

Given the state of Elite: Dangerous and the astronomical failure that was No Man's Sky, I've come to really understand and appreciate the usefulness of the Evocati and PTU shit. It's probably the most reassuring aspect of SC right now since so many of us spend our time helping CIG isolate and fix bugs from all parts of the game since we're essentially a QA team of thousands of people who help for free, and it's also great to see such rapid iterations to the game build daily. We're basically ensuring that our game will be good in the end.
