FED UP seeing the other guys and gals walk off with the BEST of EVERYTHING? Tired of your stupid JOB, of being overtaken by your peers, of lacking the willpower to get the things you want... of being HALF ALIVE?

I know how it is BECAUSE I TOO was once an under- achiever. Hard to believe that of Cliff Ganymede – Best Selling Author; Decorated War Hero; Clinically-Recognised Supertaster; Zinc Magnate. But it's true. I dithered. I put stuff off. I failed to KNUCKLE DOWN. That's because I didn't know I was Elite. Now, let me tell you a secret: everybody can be Elite. You're already ELITE! You just don't realise it yet. Elite. Say the word out loud with your mouth. Think about what it really means.

Each one of us has unlimited potential.
Life is there to be L-I-V-E-D
I isn't a dirty word – put yourself first.
Time is now!
Each one of us has unlimited potential. (It bears repeating.)

More variation is always nice. Looks like the internals for Feddie and Imp stations will be more differentiated now. Hope they would do the exteriors one day. Can't imagine the style over substance Imps hanging out in Ocellus or Orbis stations like Feds do.

What if that ship is the reclaimer? I see >>152119134 on the right side what looks to be that wing design.

How great would it be to be a tiny-small ED ship with only one Huge hardpoint. Bonus points if firing it disrupts your flight

>>152120834
>people keep saying it is some old ship

It's guaranteed a brand new ship we haven't seen before. That is the entire point of these things.

So that makes it the Terrapin (most likely), the new racer, the Polaris or the Prowler pretty much. Considering the silhouettes of human figures, that narrows it down to the first two.

It would be a tight fit. An FDL's huge hardpoint is 13m long. A Sidewinder is only 15m. Extended, a C4 cannon is longer than a Sidewinder.

So, anything good out of Gamescom?

Yeah. The new station looked basically like an outpost with a tube slapped on it. Perhaps outposts that enjoy a boom state for a long period of time/investment from their respective powers will be expanded to basically become a mini Orbis/Ocellus?

>>152121039

Proofs?
Also, I am kinda worried about the amount of space the hangar took up inside a fucking corvette. I think our memeing about "50% reduction in jump range" might be closer to the truth than we'd like...

Faulcon DeLacy is an Alliance company, their HQ is in Reorte,

The lights on the side of the cockpit look just like the lights on the side of the Python.

The cockpit "bars" are very similar to the Python/Cobra

>Also, I am kinda worried about the amount of space the hangar took up inside a fucking corvette. I think our memeing about "50% reduction in jump range" might be closer to the truth than we'd like...
Surely it will just be a module like the planetary vehicle hanger. Maybe kind of heavy but if it causes a 50% range reduction no fucker will use it.

>>152121856
If it is a DeLacy design they clearly took some hints from Lakon about the cockpit. Dat visibility.

It's actually a CQC map that's part space elevator too. I think they're taking some of the CQC stations and making them into outposts.

>>152123330
Is CQC still alive? I tried to get into matches over the last few days but just had waiting times.

>>152123427
No

>>152123427
I ranked up to Rank 8 over the past few days. So some people are playing. But sometimes you get a dead days and there's no-one.

>>152123572
>>152123761
Shame it's not more alive, I was almost having fun in that mode.

>>152123623
pls more gameplay webms

>>152124241
I shamefully admit to enjoying CQC these past few days. I shat on it all the time but it turns out it can be fun.

>>152124241
Right now it's probably the most active it's been in a while. A lot of people bought E:D after No Man's Sky so there's a lot of new players in the game. So now's the time to grind rank before they get tired and angry at the game.

>>152123623

I really and truly hope that Star Citizen releases as good or nearly as good as intended, I can finally leave the hell that is E:D

>>152124520
Had no luck so far but maybe today or tomorrow

>>152124461
At thia point I just want to do some carefree shooting in this game because open world started to bore me ages ago.

That and Strike Vector is ded as shit.

i7 4790k.
Dual GTX 1080's
16gb of RAM
500gb SSD.

Could this run Star Citizen on low at good FPS for VR? Or will I need more. I mean I'm looking at about $2400 already.

>>152124760
Easily, once VR is actually implemented. 1080's are stupid expensive though unless you are rolling in dosh.

>>152124760

Looks like a pretty solid setup to me fambam, just don't expect perfect frames all the time, the 'game' we have now is rather optimized.

>>152124760
yes

>>152121093

Not had this installed for a while, what can I expect to be able to do now?

Also this S.S make's me want to kcik Sean in the fucking ma-gina.

If i can land on a planet and have it look like this S.S in star citizen ill be happy

Anyone got a good way to grind fed rank?

>>152124760
I wouldn't build a VR rig for anything that doesn't have VR support right now. If you're thinking of VorpX, forget it, it's a meme.

>>152125245
nothing has changed yet
come back towards the end of the year.

>>152125009
Yes I've been putting away money for the past 6 months for an upgrade. I cheaped out on the SSD because I last second decided I'd rather have a second 1080. I just want to run it well when it comes out.

VR is my main goal. I'm not expecting max graphics... But I want to have a good experience without getting motion sickness.

>>152125365
>good way to grind in E:D
They patched all those out with extreme prejudice like a year ago, anon

>>152125451

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Preddy sure one of you fuckers said this a year ago lol.

that sucks, this does look fantastic, i do hope it comes to fruition but im verry dubious on buying alpha games...

I bought StartCitizen with a 300i and it says I can trade it in for units, worth doing?

is the concensus that this game will ACTUALLY be released? all I wana do is Nomansky shit... with a little more... err.....realism? (if you get what im meaning with that term)

>>152124760
Just wait until it is actually implemented in SC before you by, if you can.
The current link up of nvidia gps, the 1000 series, are not using the full extent of the pascal architecture. I don't remember what the marketing buzz word for it is but we probably wont see it until the 1080ti or later.
Also HBM is coming soon and it will probably be worth waiting for.

>>152126180
they are trying to get 2.7 out by the end of the year, along with ep1 of sq42
considering what they've already shown of it, I would say it comes out by the end of this year/beginning next year. sooner if we're lucky.

there is a list of 2.6/2.7 features somewhere, but
2.6 - star marine
2.7 - procedural planets/landing

You can still donation grind at 17 Draconis, but it's a fuckton more expensive than it was before.

It's either that or you do it the VISION way.

>>152126714
Is draconis fed affiliated?

>>152126765
yep

>>152126802
How exspensive are we talking?

>>152126862
Donation missions used to range between 1k-30k credits a piece, now they're more like 10k-1m each. They did somewhat reduce the number of missions to gain ranks, though. Just stay away from the more expensive ones and you should be able to do it with somewhere around 50-60mil I'd guess.

>>152127281
Get to rear admiral in 60? Ive got 200mil and change right now, wouls that fit the bill?

Because the game can only get easier to run.


Besides I'm not building it FOR star citizen. It's about time for an upgrade anyway, but VR and SC are both on my lists of things I want. So I might as well just drop $2,000-3000 and get myself a new build going.

Wtf is wrong with Sothis, couple hours ago I went over there but I'm pledged to A. Lavingy-Duval so I should've been hostile but when I came in I wasn't. Is it cause of the war currently happening in that system.

>>152134265
>>152134387
Thanks for the tips! I'm in the mood for space right now, so I'm probably not going to wait for a sale even though that would be sensible.

What about the expansion? Do you feel it justifies doubling the price? Do you have to play for a while to reach expansion content, so I could leave it for a bit?

>>152134658
Sothis isn't exploited/controlled by anyone, so no one is hostile there.

>>152134667

Elite is a massive game without that much content. Driving ships feel nice but will get old. Combat is great. There are stretches of grinding involved. If you're okay with that then go ahead and buy.

Horizons is NOT worth its price.

>>152134667
>Do you feel it justifies doubling the price? Do you have to play for a while to reach expansion content, so I could leave it for a bit?
At the moment it doesn't feel worth it. It basically lets you dick around on airless planets, which is neat for a few minutes. It also gives you access to the Engineers who can mod your ship equipment.

You can access planets straight away, but Engineers takes quite a while to unlock access to them.

>>152134736
It's controlled by the Federation at the moment.

>>152135893
Current public build is 2.4, private test users can play 2.5. So basically not next major patch which will be 2.6 but the one after that will be 2.7. It will also bring procedurally generated planets and the first NPCs.

It also confuses me how /scg/ barely made it to 100 posts a thread before it would die and how /edg/ could go multiple threads with out dying before the bump limit, yet now over half the posts here are about SC

We best be able to modify the fighters
At least module upgrades and weapon choices

I know that E:D is one massive grind, powerplay is half-baked and broken, economy isn't all that dynamic.

But how is the combat, flight model, and overall cockpit experience?

>>152138583
The feel of flying, sound etc. is Elite's strongest point.

>>152138583

Combat and flight model are good, real good.

>>152138583
Excellent, best part of the game.
There's nothing out there on its level in those areas yet.

Are they on the PTU?

Is that P-52 worth it? Can it even fly places on its own?

>>152138583
Combat boils down to turnfights but that's about the only fun thing to do. Spound design is pretty good.

Hows the Type-7 for long range haulage?

Jump range seems a little less than the type 6, but it's got double the cargo hold. Plus I like the way it looks more than the type 6.

>>152138726
Probably a replacement for the repair and rearm menu

>>152138875
2.4

>>152138983

The P-52 has no Q-Drive, so only buy it if you or a friend have a ship capable of launching one as an escort.

So, I was playing Elite: Dangerous - Horizons in the past few days, and I found a planet, with a mountain in a crater. I figured I’d be “Crazy”, and land on the top of the Mountain, so I did.

I was there, landed a few minutes, dozens of lightyears from anywhere, and this twinkly piano piece began to play. Looking out, over the majesty of stars, sitting so Small and alone, I admit that I teared up a little. I did. I was overcome by it all.

It’s incredible that the life’s work of a Cambridge scholar, to create a believable simulation of our galaxy, has all but come true. And it’s only going to get more real. Imagine the next generation of Quantum computing, a Thousand times faster than modern Machines. Though most likely, some of that will be swallowed up by larger displays with Higher resolutions.

Why not?

>>152148979
Aside from all the astrological impossibilities, a believable galaxy isn't full of exactly the same people (who behave and say the same 3 or so lines) and extremely similar places.

>>152149082

stations would be constructed from premade modules and the game actually models it well with how it generates multiple randomly bolted-on modules as its stations. Thats believable and I'm totally okay with mass produced stations in a world where corporations essentially rule everything.

Astronomically this is the best game universe we got yet

so why the fuck is everybody arguing about pointless shit while new videos of 2.2 are out?

>>152149241
>Astronomically this is the best game universe we got yet

Thats a relative scale.

Elite back in the 80s might have been the "best we've got" back in the day. Doesn't make it good or believable.

But no, while I'm there there would be plenty of corportations doing mass-produced stations, theres nothing put together outside of that, which is extremely difficult to believe.

Not that I care, because I think the gameplay itself is sub-par. Crying about it is pretty pathetic, though.

>>152151463
>cobra for combat

just get a viper or a DBS; If you absolutely need a cobra, small beams, medium MCs, one shield booster, one PD. Biggest shield you can get, One SCB of the appropriate size for your shield capacity (meaning one cell = between 75%~125% of your shields) all the rest should be HRPs. OFC get military alloys too.

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.

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.
'We should rabbit,' he mumbled, clinging feebly to common sense. 'Right? Snag the goodies and go.'

There would be more structures than just one. Especially near a refinery outpost.

Outposts would most likely have more than one medium pad and some would even have anchorage points.

Theres no shipyards.

Theres no actual mining facilities.
Its not believable.

>some

More like nearly all. It would cost fuck all to add docking pylons/anchors for large ships.

>>152155284
>no shipyards
>no production plants
I didnt even notice it was lacking something so basic.

I regret spending 60 on this. Hoping free fly star citizen makes me happy and forget about grinding for a bit. Keeping hype low so i can be amazed at the sights and laugh when my free plane takes off without me then explodes. Twice. Killing me on the second try.
