Does any sort of High-Tech Systems exist near Sothis that sells High-End Fuel Scoops for the Type-7? I made the mistake of longrange hauling with a shitty scoop and now I'm stuck recharging with 18.3/s

>>152019919

Newholm sells a 5A scoop.

I'm glad these threads exist. I love you all.

>>152019967
I bought my ship there and it had no stock for the Type-7 Yesterday

>>152020003

You can't have two scoops, so you'd need to sell the old one first before you can buy a new one.

Or it could just be out of stock. It carries up to 5A and 6B but they're not always available.

>>152019930
When's that sale habbenin mang?

gamescom hype?

>>152020143
Alright, I should camp there and the scoops.

>>152020172
Probably starting on Friday, I dunno.

>>152020031

What size slot did you try to buy for? iirc Sothis has no size 2 or 3 scoops so if you try to stick one in a size 2 slot they'll only have class 1 available.

>>152020172
CIG's sales and page updates usually go up around 12:00pm pacific time.

At least I'm doing 35LY laden each jump. Boring as shit though. I'm not even stopping to scan, I just honk my horn and jump.

I've thought about killing myself when I get there to save time, but then I'd LOSE MY FUCKING ENGINEER MATS THAT I'M FUCKING CARRYING FIVE THOUSAND LIGHTYEARS OUT BECAUSE WE CAN'T STORE THEM BECAUSE FUCK

>>152022527
>I've thought about killing myself
you play E:D. do it

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/Gamescom-Free-Fly-2016 It's here

Doesn't look like people will Free Fly with 2.5

I was thinking zero g unsecured cockpit stuff would be nice to have. All the detritus of a single human being in a confined space for any period of time. Coffee cups, used tissues, empty bags of toffees and powerbar wrappers, fading green and white fanfold printouts of Local Security Office bounty receipts, scribbled notes of trades, dust-bunnies, doodles, Polaroid hard copies of debug camera selfies*, styrofoam trays of chef meal leftovers, Unintelligent Furry Felines, empty Feu Orange air fresheners, wax strip backing sheets, comic books (put The Fang in game), empty bottles of knockoff Lavian Brandy, odd socks, empty stim-pack blisters, slowly decaying apple cores, sachets of graphite lube, handheld video games, dogeared A-Z of The Old Worlds, unfinished scale models of FE2 ships not in ED, plushies, tools, broken bobbleheads and favourite blankets.

They'd slowly increase in number over time since leaving port at a rate depending on the number of crew and the size of the ship, and on violent manuevering, say an interdiction, they would all crash into the canopy and float around like a trash snowglobe. The repair screen in station would gain a 'Interior Valet' item and rich or fussy Commanders could buy a miniature Collection Drone that would keep the worst of it down.

>>152022527

Without engineer mods I could only jump 40LY in my Exploraconda

>>152023151
Id dig that. A while back I thought itd be interesting to have like a cockpit cat, that has a bunch of routines where it likes to laze in certain spots and path around, assuming this has gravity. Maybe one of its spot would be halfway through a virtual display and it doesnt give a shit

This is an almost completely stripped down Asp with level 5 FSD range upgrade. Everything except PD and PP is d-ranked. I'm also carrying 15 tons of engie mats.

The real reason why though is the fact that I've filled all the other internals with fuel. I can jump around 800~ LY without stopping. Pretty sure it saves time overall.

Power plants are a bit of an oddball in that the A rank of a smaller size is both lighter and higher output than the D rank of the next size up.

So really no reason not to go A rank for heat efficiency. You can just go down in size instead of rank to save mass while retaining max heat efficiency.

will the gameplay streaming be anything new or just current version?

Not sure at least for SC. My guess is that they will stream Star Marine or 2.6 but it's anyones guess at this point. I think the stream starts in an hour

>>152026675
There's no way they're having 2.6 on the showfloor. At the Friday event, sure. But they'll stream 2.4.1 or some version of 2.5 on the booth.

>>152026731

Well Rhea is from reddit, not 4chan.
It's just that I heard her voice before and it sounds very off for a female, on top of that she got turbo triggered when I made two joke posts about trannies, which leads me to think she might be one.

I don't have anything against trannies myself, I'm just really curious about it and would like to know.

the fact that he is trying to be elusive in it with the covering, and not showing face with the strange voice basically proves it. No real girl streamer hesitates to to prove something like being a girl - if it's natural there's no purpose in being secretive about it.

what is pathetic about you guys is that ED, as flawed as it is, actually EXISTS and SC will never even go public or approach ED's level of cohesion. They've already wasted what $122 million on that shit and its in barely playable phase. That FPS stuff they're promising? That will never come out.

Using the tech that powers drones, you can partner with a fighter to protect your passengers from whatever evil (or well-deserved bounty) they’re escaping, or let the AI take care of any passing pirates for you.
I wonder if this means a new passenger ship (maybe Beluga) is in (since Orca can't carry fighters) or if that website just has no idea what it's on about.

>>152039643

Im actually fine with that. Wont buy it, or cosmetics. Only ever did that for one game and never again.

Now if they go back and say you can only buy ships with real money after launch that would be sad and probpy the end of space games for me, especially after the dad dissapointment of korean grindfest

Would buying ships with real money be that different to buying credits with real money? They've already confirmed that multiple times.

So that's what, 5 rebuys?

>>152040957
Yeah, they've confirmed it multiple times. Can't buy ships, can buy credits. I can't see the difference.

There isn't a difference

I only kind of follow SC but would that mean no LTI?

>>152041225
because it's highly ambitious and purely crowdfunded. People think everything they've done is a scam so I guess proving it isn't is a factor too. Though there's nothing wrong with showing progress to the press t bh

I wish free flight had been ships I actually wanted to fly.

>>152041504
The credit cap is so low you can't even buy a complete loadout of guns for a small ship.

If it takes you 4 months to buy a fighter, theres a massive difference. Theres also a cap on how many credits you can have at any time.

I think you can pick whether to have an AI pilot it or take it yourself. I don't really trust the AI to take care of my main ship though.

>world war two style turrets on everything.
How easy is it to actually hit shit from one of those turrets?

>>152043993
Which one? The RobertsSpaceInd one?

>>152044049
>How easy

It's not. Bomber formations in World War 2 flew with hundreds of planes for two reasons. One to carpet bomb the ever living hell out of massive area and two, to provide cover for each other. Planes hitting each other was difficult as hell. No video game accurately represents how difficult it is to actually hit an enemy plane. B17 formations tried to use sheer volume of bullets to protect themselves from interceptors.

>>152043983
At least if they spawn with bugged rapid-fire, class-4 plasma accelerators or something FDev can just be like "that's Thargoids for ya"

I worry more that the total involvement of Thargoids will be a "Thargoid Signal Source" that you have to drop into to fight Thargoids. Can't have any gameplay come to the player after all.

>>152044663
hundreds of people, not exactly ships
he meant that you wouldn't get the information of people inside a ship like an idris, only the exterior info like turret positions when you're outside the idris.
this means that you can have multiple capital ships in the same space, along with other multicrew ships as well, just not receiving the data of what's inside.

>>152044764
He said we could get hundreds of people, and presumably many ships as well.

>Million mile high club


This is silly.

>>152045119
He said thousands.

Guess what isn't going to happen

>>152045257
I don't think he said instance he said area

>>152044342
Supposedly aft mounted turrets were actually useful, which is Russia kept adding them to planes even after everyone else ditched turrets.

But, of course, that's the one spot CIG never puts a turret at. They even moved freelancer's rear turret further away from aft in the rework so it would have more a blind spot.

>>152045257
I assume he's full of shit too. I wait until they prove that it's possible, but that's what he said. Until they implement this sort of system I will withhold calling it true or false since we currently have no way of proving either way. Not the original anon you replied to

>>152045353
see
>>152044993

>>152045369
>so it would have more of a blind spot

I'm starting to think bubble turrets should be replaced with remote control turrets. In their current state they're useless on ships like the connie. I recall someone rescuing me while I was stranded at the shipping hub. Hopped in their connie and was immediately intercepted by other players and battle ensued. Hopped into the turret and I was basically useless because of the high speed turning that kept enemies out of my sights 100% of the time.

>>152041447
I bought my vette in LYR space so it was 155M instead of 190M

fully A rate without plating we're talking 21M rebuy

I don't plan on doing PVP with it yet, that's what my DBS is for

>>152040394
If they want to sell ships for real money after launch, i dont care. I can exert self control and not pay real money for ships.

If thats the only way to get new ships after launch? Then thats pretty much it for space games. Other devs will follow suit without a doubt.

To your point, no difference.

>>152045760
turrets are just mounting points with a turret attached, in the same way a gimbal puck is. You'll be able to swap them out for anything that matches the size and has an adaptor.

>>152045953
Still only 7 rebuys.

>>152046354
I don't plan on getting killed, I'm just erasing NPCs while listening to Queen

>>152046262
>Swap them out

That's all good and dandy, but just because you can swap them out doesn't mean their fundamental flaw goes away. Unless you're mentioning that to say swapping them out for remote controlled turrets could be possible thanks to this.

>>152046435
Thats exactly what I'm telling you

Remote controlled my a gunner station, fixed / gimbal slaved to pilot control.. whatever.

What's the best location to grind Empire Rank?

So, in Star Citizen, I have to actually pay real money to get a ship?

>>152046523
But, as I said that doesn't change the fundamental flaw of the bubble turrets.

>>152046957
Its down to pilot skill as well, you know.

>>152046946
Right now. Yeah. At release you just buy it with credits.

>>152046946
In the alpha, yes. That's how they make their crowdfunded money. When the game releases in 3 or so years they will no longer sell ships. You can buy a game package to get started or wait for a free fly like this week.

>>152046946
After release you'll just buy the game and work for it, or buy credits, although those will be limited.
But currently you support the game development by buying ships

we get this every thread huh?

>>152047058
Yes and no. If larger ships are just going to focus on jousting on a single plane, the gunners are never going to get a chance to even aim at targets. Which is what I experienced.

>>152047205
it's ok - new people will be interested. It's up to us to answer with honesty and give what info we can.

>>152047290
It should be in the OP, a FAQ.

>>152047205
well what do you expect? I'm sure a lot of people are interested only because of the ship design, so they look up the ships on the website and half the things shown have price tags.

You're an idiot. His post doesn't say a god damned thing about you or other people willing to answer questions, only that there's no point in putting that in the OP because they wouldn't read it anyways. Fucking victim complex baby.

>>152048496
We were answering question for a newfag and he considered that "stupid things". Fuck off, samefag.

>>152048403
Why are you resorting to memes now? How exactly are these "larger" ships going to keep the enemy in their gunsights while not flying like a retard while also allowing gunners to actually shoot their targets?

And on another note, what in the fuck would you consider not flying like a retard for these ships that have large surface areas? If they start tumbling around like a dog fight, that means their gunners can't hit the target still.

>>152048608
Depends on the size of the ship.

If its large enough, you shouldn't be trying to keep your nose pointing at a target unless its far away, because you're just going to fail.

If its something like a connie, you cruise -> decouple -> strafe while flying backwards.

You NEVER EVER joust in ANY FUCKING SHIP

Summary of news from the SC stream


[Will there be DirectX 12 or Vulkan support?] They are investigating future-proofing with DirectX and Vulkan – undecided whether they will go with one or both.
[Will we see anything regarding Star Marine?] They will not be showcasing Star Marine during the five-days stream on the showfloor. It is on track for 2.6. This doesn’t rule out it appearing on the Friday night party.
Disco has just shown off the PC Guru magazine front cover that has a photo of Mark Hamill in-game on it.
The Starmap is NOT complete. There are systems that have not been discovered and are not on the Starmap.

I would be ok with that.

I like the Lakon ships.

However the best thing ever would be a fighter with the Hauler engine noises. If i am to be subject to the wailing of the damned i would prefer to have it happen in a more fitting ship.

Cons

>Game is advertised as "multiplayer" but theres little to do with others besides blowing them up. /edg/ doesn't play together because there's nothing to do together
>One character slot. If you want another character to play, you need to rebuy the game again. Usually isnt a problem since you can do anything with one character but if youre exploring youll find yourself self-destructing once you're 10k light years out to get back to some shootan
>FD releases updates with no regards as to how they'll affect the game later and abandons them shortly after. See: Powerplay
>General bad design decisions like irrelevant ships, Powerplay weapons that take forever to get but are inferior to other weapons, ships that don't handle like they should and contradict what the game says they should be. I could go on, it's quite literally a mess

ship designs in star citizen reek of bad design, it's why most of them have fucking wings.

you can also tell by the interior layout that they design the exterior first and try and cram all the shit the ship needs to do into the shell instead of doing interior layout first (the area you're going to be spending a great amount of time in) and wrapping an appropriate exterior around it.

sure thing kid. they can't even keep their own internal logical consistency right. if they have the balls to constantly sabotage themselves at every opportunity I'll sure as fuck stick to flying cheese wedges

I used to laugh at ED ship designs, but I have to admit the new stuff is growing on me. It's too bad the ingame stuff is drab as hell

Thanks mate, enjoy the free shit.

>>152061238
not the anon you replied to

so stick to cheese wedges. Simple as that. The designs in SC could use some work, but arguing here changes nothing. If they wanted to make them without wings they would, but arguing here changes nothing about them nor will it ever have that effect.

Its in the My Account area. It just gives some small bonuses to you and the referee unless you get like 30-50 people to buy the game.

I just wanted to play it on the train.

What happened to that remake?

>>152061373

If you use it when you sign up you get 5 dollars for the in game store.
Not sure what the code poster gets. Probably 10 dollars?

Thank ya, see you in the verse, as they say.

i hate how everything in elite dangerous and star citizen is made exclusively of either hard metal surfaces or shiny plastics

where's the gritty rust? where's the interiors with wood and leather? where's the cheap 90s plastic dashboards? where is the metal foil? exposed insulation? textiles?

there's been a bajillion remakes. some were mediocre and some didn't release

>>152061665
Still making videos. Have a blast from the past: https://youtu.be/JXapNU5zmhE

And yeah, 6dof is hard on controllers.

>>152061790
apparently SC will have wear and tear. I doubt it's in right now, but some of their hangars are gritty. Not sure about ED

>>152061790
I imagine you would want your ship to be as sturdy as it can get while flying around in a vacuum.

Some grime would be welcome though. Here's hoping you can at least make ships look a little less pristine.

>>152061790
If Frontier has any brains they'll start pumping out DLC to that effect, probably about the time space legs comes out.

SC seems like it would take massive amounts of resources to do the same.

>>152061790
There is at least a kinda logical reason these things are built from more or less fireproof materials.

Look at airplanes, half of them have interiors that look like cheap caravans mostly because there's very few fireproof wood/fabric materials.

But yeah it'd be neat to see some more of that stuff, or even just a ship that looks like someone's living in it, like the rooms they had in Firefly.

Fair enough, that thing worth it? I only remember some odd payment system for ships for the EA.

>>152061790

Every ship I drove in ED so far looks like a cheap SUV on the inside
