This triggers me. Either make it /scg&edg/ or call it Elite Dangerous & Star Citizen

All in favour of calling it /scedg/?

Do either of these games plan to let you orbit around a planet or have planets orbit around the sun?

What about moving inside your ship in zero g?

I'm genuinely curious. By the way, if your game doesn't at least have these there's no point in arguing realism.

>>152451107
/ecsdg/ when

>>152451127
Elite has orbiting planets/moons though n ogravity wells for yourself to orbit in.
Star Citizen should have 0g moving around ships however the ability to turn off the gravity in your ship is not yet implemented but planned.

CR mentioned orbits which surprised the hell out of me as I and most people assumed shit would be static. You can 0g in ships right now but there's no button to turn gravity on or off yet so it's difficult to make happen

Uninspired and repetitive as games nowadays are, many a disillusioned fan don’t hesitate to call out the medium as fallen. Along comes Elite Dangerous, the latest entry to gaming self-critique and introspection.

On the surface Elite Dangerous seems like your ordinary game which is seemingly unremarkable but whose charm is so irresistible yet so subtle, that the people who've played it cannot but fall for it, much to the frustration of some self proclaimed "fathers of vision" who cannot see any logic to these affections. Os et labra tibi lingit, Manneia, catellus: non miror, merdas si libet esse cani.

Unlike our hack-ridden gaming industry, Elite Dangerous uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Elite Dangerous displays. Elite Dangerous is a self-aware and self-referencing work. It points out the flaws and implausibilities which often plague its genre, yet offers no alternative. Though criticized for conforming to its genre without innovation, composing the rest of the game with uninspiring features essential in achieving what Elite Dangerous wishes to do. While it does highlight the unrealism which plagues the gaming community, it also serves to illustrate the irrationality of passion and infatuation, which which is shown by the hatred often spewed at this masterpiece. Poor Elite is left with naught, but to hunger evermore.

The team is aware of the flaws and tropes in their work, but artistic integrity has to be weighed against the harsh market. Even so, no artist wishes to make hollow trash as much as “fathers of vision” so often may think. Behind these stories are genuine emotions, far more so than half-assed criticisms by blind followers of objectivism.

The gamescom presentation looked cool but the missions are still the "go to point A, download thing, shoot pirates on point B" type. I'm really hoping that'll see some of the rescue/salvage/mining/escort/cargo/hunting missions. I can understand that they want some depth in the combat aspect but some slight diversity would be cool and starting to showcase it would be great.

>>152451769
I just did a protect a security station, so there's FPS missions if you're interested now.

>dads in the gulag arguing ED is more of a sim than a game

>>152451624
What's a turret farm? I haven't touched this game in ages.

>>152451684
There are gravity wells with planets you can land on from what I can tell. Once you get close enough the planet will start pulling you towards it. The only reason you can't orbit a planet is that there is a limit to how fast your ship can go. You'd need to be going at sufficient speed to counteract gravity and go around the planet.

>>152451769
At the end of the day all that is still 'get thing take to place, shoot mans' etc. With different dressing salving and mining dont really need job ordets aka quests associated to make them happen

>>152452030
>>152451839
>>152451769
I thought the economic goal was to have players give others quests?

Like the ceo of a guild would ask mercenaries to protect his cargo container so he can sell weapons in another system or something.

>>152452030
Yeah but the fetch quests are truly simplistic right now by being just "download or press this button", same for the combat quests, you could have some interesting missions where you have to track the guy by analysing his EM or QD signature remnants.

>>152451839
Haven't checked the FPS content that much, I hope there will be some interesting choices to make like battle rifles against assault rifles, etc.

Are any cheap ships that I can actually fit a mate in?

I know the Aurora has a bed in the back but theres not really an actual place for him to sit and see whats going on

>>152452148
Yeah but the majority will still be npc

>>152452409

In the aurora, mustang or avenger he can just stand behind you and see the action with no trouble

Does the game not freak out when you start doing spins and going fast without actually being cemented to a seat?

>>152452689
Nah you can even walk around during maneuvers just fine. It can be disorienting for the player but there's no sliding around or anything like you might expect.

how does dlc system work in elite dangerous? On steam there's basic game and horizons season pass, so I guess there's no "regular" season pass which grants you access to all future dlcs
So if I for example buy this deluxe commander or whatever it's called edition I get basic game and horizons dlc but I will have to buy separately any future dlc?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Prophecy

Is there a way to play it after the servers shut down? Have the core files leaked to create maybe a private server or some shit? I really liked it ;_;

>>152455513
Most likely. I don't think they'll ever release a complete season pass with all future DLC since they're taking "Season" in the most literal sense possible. Maybe if they release a super founders edition for $200 packaged with an Ocellus Startport buttplug for extra gaming immersion.

is there anything to fucking do in elite yet

I bought it the week it came out, flew around with some buds, did some bounty hunting, then we all got bored and went back to other shit

also is the emissions system actually a thing now? That always pissed me off, how there's explicitly a display in your cockpit showing how easy you are to detect and you can do things to minimize it but ultimately you can't do neat stealth shit or anything

They are corrosive and will damage modules while in your cargo bay.

and then there aren't any ships built to capitalize on that, or ships designed to counter those ships. ED could have it's own EWAR system based around thermal emissions and shit but instead you get this system that feels mostly tacked on.

>>152457848
Dads are the ones complaining about UA bombing.
Calling 'griefing' and shit

Can someone who plays Star Citizen tell me if my friend is bullshitting me about there being some sort of grind system in the game where every ship is grindable with game credits? I had the impression you just throw them $50-400 to get a ship and that's your ship until you throw them more $.

>Harvestable Geological Structures
What does it mean?

So I remember the Vederation wanted to colonize an asteroid base back in the day in lieu of colonizing an entire planet to setup their own home planet and government/military.

So now it looks legit possible to do. What was once a far fetched fantasy now seems viable so do you think we'll get player planets, cities, governments etc? I know Star Wars Galaxies used to have player built, owned and run cities with player mayors and politicians and stuff.

>>152459324
What they showed was fumaroles and geysers and said they can be harvested for materials.

I got a Reliant and enjoy the look of the ship.

But to be honest i am starting to harbor a suspicion that the ship is centered around a gimmick of questionable use rather than being a solid ship in itself.

So i am thinking of melting it and some other ships to get the Explorer pack.

So what do you all think, will the Reliant be a flimsy gimmicky ship in the future too? And if so should i trade it in for ships of entirely unknown provenance?

Don't bother, it's dead.

>>152459892
Depending on your cargo and reputation with the local factions and trade level up to 50 million

>>152459940
It's not only Ceos is dead and Ceos is basically irrelevant.

>>152460091
I'm puzzled about 'Sothis is dead' too. Ceos is only for being the destination for data missions from Sothis, so you can grind up rep fast. Rest is long haul missions from Sothis.

Is it theoretically possible for frontier to change some fundamental things in Elite this far?
Like that fact that NPCs only live in current instance and don't have life without you seeing them. I want NPCs to mean something, it would be great since player interaction is so limited. NPCs from Space Rangers and Sea Dogs are a good example.

Also can they do anything about combat logging? I'm not going to lie, I combat log every time I'm about to die and I don't blame anyone else who does.
I think it would improve the game a lot if those two things were addressed.
Also open only and security response rework would be amazing but will never happen.

>>152460204
>Ceos is only for being the destination for data missions from Sothis, so you can grind up rep fast
And it still works because you can turn in the missions despite the UA problems.

>I'm puzzled about 'Sothis is dead' too
Maybe to force it under the radar before it gets killed by Frontier?

>>152459892
Go to Sothis
Land at one of the stations
Accept all data transfer/courier missions to Ceos
Proceed to the other station
Accept all data transfer/courier missions to Ceos
Go to Ceos
Land at station
Turn in all missions
Ceos was nuked so you can't accept contracts there. When it's fixed, you'll have some to pick up for the return trip.
Return to Sothis
Repeat process until you're max rep with all factions.

Now you can grab all the long-range missions that give you a shitload of credits for very little effort.

It was like this is the previous games as well, a dedicated warship. I put it down to some weird misinformation scheme by the Imps.

>Fdev implements ship interiors, now to re-activate a damaged component you need to manually fix it with a welder then turn it back on.
Your Fer-De-Lance port thruster just shorted out, you'll need to go down 2 decks and run through 50 meters worth of hallways to reach the port engine pod. All while the ship is spinning out of control so gravity is shifted 90 degrees by centripetal force.

So when interiors and multi crews are adders it will pretty much be impossible to do combat in Conda/Cutter/Corvette type ships? Maybe they'll add interior drones that take module space and repair stuff

>>152461827
Averaging 150-200lbs in weight per person that still leaves about 1800lbs of life support and shit, for a single person.

I like to think there's like 4 people crammed into a big metal box.

>>152462658
I think it fits pretty well that if ship life support is multiple tons, than a barebones slave canister would have about that much weight in life support systems.

>>152462796
Multiple tons in a ship that's generally over 300 tons in mass mind you. Although the game doesn't allow you to explore the ship I think it's implied it's for the entire ship.

These slaves could just have a couple oxygen tanks, a bucket of water, and some packs of ramen

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".

Wrong. It's not just some randum xD meme stereotype perpetuated for the lulz.

Forumdads are people who actually exist and make up the majority of frontier forums population. The ideas they hold about the game are nothing short of insane. The stories you read about them, like them believing all pvp players are real-life psychopaths, or thinking playing the background sim is griefing, they're literally true. All of it. It's not satire. It's what they actually believe.

If you don't believe me just go on their forums and look around. Go on, I dare you. Gaze into the vision.

>>152464306
Only the variants have beds. And they're just an excuse to fill up the cargo hold so people can't do cargo runs in the combat variant.

looking at the most recent ship designs in Star Citizen, it's pretty clear that both beds and escape pods don't have a real purpose anymore beside being space filling fluff and RP shit.

>>152465562
Beds are supposed to be save points essentially. Ships without beds require you to actually dock somewhere. That's what they were planning to do last.

It's why people recommend the Aurora over the Mustang Alpha, because of the bed.

>>152465604
just seems strang,e it's got those two "access" panels just before the cockpit, they look like prime spots to put a bed or something.

>>152465604
well I suppose you could lay in one of the bunks while your buddy looks at degenerate xi'an porn in the fold out computer station

Purely for combat, would it be worth it to sell my Viper III and replace it with an Eagle with better internals?

What are good guns to put on those things again? Still Pulse and Multicannons?

>>152465953
>Ships without beds require you to actually dock somewhere.
Is this for fucking real

This sounds like a game designed by forumdads

How are they going to combat people stealing your ship when you want to explore some ruin or something? Having to constantly worry about my ship getting nicked by some faggot would kill my immersion.

yeah, early on they said it would have very basic fold out cots or something. But those vanished by the time the final design was revealed.

It's really annoying how most ships lack even basic shit that real planes have like fold out seats and benches in the hold. The cutlass is the only one that has anything close to that, and they'll probably vanish after the rework.

Never did mining. I don't care about mining profits either just heard it's comfy. Can someone give me basic info like best ship, equipment I need, where to mine etc?

Vanduul swarm, racing, free flight. Or you can log into the PU and explore about four or five stations, dog fight players there, and do a couple quests.

I don't care how it won, I don't care about your autistic competitions. I care that it looks fucking amazing.

If we're going by just "cool" then, Karthu-al.

Thank fuck I can finally get rid of all the scattered junk ships I can't be bothered to fly back to.

You don't understand the glory of the Asp. The Thargoids will look at their unarmed Asp and fly away, afraid of contracting Spess ASPergers.

SPACE LEGS WHEN?
I don't want to buy SC until it is more done but I just want to walk around my space house.

>>152470850
>WHEN
Never.

>>152470837
If they operate even remotely like the Thargoids from the previous games they'll still be pulling unshielded dads into witchs-pace for some bum fun.
