/edg&scg/ - Elite:Dangerous and Star Citizen №19

>>152556657
Kei a best dirty pair

first for space is gay

>Get lots of attention from Gamescom
>Don't put your game on sale for a short period

It's like the Elite devs don't want money. I'd have bought it as well but I don't wanna spend 20 quid on something I might not even like.

>>152556759
What happens if you do something gay in space?

Good thing it's shit. I didn't preorder

>>152556849
It's only gay if balls touch.

>>152556910

I run into NPCs flying those and all I see are free kills.

>>152556965
space balls*

>>152556879
they made it as shitty as possible to prevent it from being an issue, it's probably the worst ship in the entire game

the only thing it's decent for is entry-level mining

>>152557274
>mining
speaking of it, where can i find an updated guide?

>>152556879
Can't you even buy it?

>>152557849
Looks like something I built from legos at 9

>>152557575

It's only available if you preordered Horizons. If you weren't on the preorder list it doesn't show up in shipyards.

You're not missing anything if you didn't. It's a piece of shit. Even when the AIs became beast for a few weeks after 2.1 came out, these MkIVs could still be completely outplayed by even the biggest shitters among the playerbse.

>>152557849
I like how they literally look like plastic bits glued on if you have a paint job that uses flat colors.

>>152558117
It's pretty clear that Braben has little to no input on how ED actually functions. His videos are almost totally divorced from the reality of the game.

>>152558343

yes

shits OP

>>152558343

My racing fit iEagle cruises at 600 m/s and boosts up to 850 with enhanced performance drives and grade 5 dirty drive tuning.

Also grade 5 overcharged multicannons on a gunship faceroll everything.

>>152558409
>>152558474
>>152558521
How great is that? I'm sure it will definitely make base game players stick around! And the prospect of more shit like this each year unless you goy up... man, I do love this game, thanks yet again, FDev!

Stupid bunch of greedy jews, you deserve bankruptcy and cancer.

>>152558585
all the forumdads paid $300 for a lifetime pass

>>152558585
It wouldn't be a problem if they didn't make it so NPC's have full access to engineer mods and weapons.

>>152558343
Yes. The difference between a regular A-rated ship and a fully upgraded ship is fucking ludicrous.

>Hey, Mr. Braben, with so many space games coming, don't you think we should actually finish the game to attract more players and get more money?
>Nah, just milk the shrinking core playerbase each year and make them pay twice more than the new player!

>>152558707
I can only hope FDev runs out of money/players before it pays out.

>>152558343
>>152558757

Going from A-rated to fully modded is a similar step up in power to going from E-rated to A-rated.

>>152558585
>>152558780

I guess I'll wait for the game to be actually finished and get it for 15 bucks or so.

>>152558387

Make sure the mission actually names the station you're delivering to. If it doesn't, it's going to tell you to fuck off to the bubble.

Those crucial upgrades locked behind a paywall sure make me want to invest in E:D, just imagine what they'll come up with next year, now that the preorder exclusivity and P2W gates are wide open!

Anyone know how to proc naval ascendancy missions or are they just random once you max out the meter for your current rank?

So I didnt buy horizons because it costs more than the base game here in Slavia.

But what if the next DLC contains cool shit I want, will I have to retroactively buy horizons AND the new stuff?

They'll probably delete the current store entry and migrate all the current content to a new one to save themselves from the negative reviews

>>152559520
They'll probably roll Horizons and the base game together.

>>152559520

They rolled the base game into Horizons when it was released, so you got everything for $60.

Everybody who bought the base game and then Horizons afterward got a $10 loyalty discount. So in other words they paid $110 for everything.

They were incredibly rumpravaged over it.

I really like the look of the Merlin/Archimedes but they're parasite fighters right? I can't jump to anywhere with them unless I have a Connie or something similar?

>>152559164
(You)

>>152559824
yes

>>152559465

Just switch open/solo until you get one

>>152556657
Guys. When does 3.0 come out? That Gamescom demo was amazing.

>>152559465

They're just random. More fed factions in the system means more chances, and you can switch game modes to refresh the mission board if you don't want to travel to another system.

>>152560071
end of the year is the official word

>>152559781

I don't think I got horizons

I get the planetary landing HUD every time I close on a moon (never actually tried landing because it causes FPS drops) but Horizons commodities are invisible in stores for me. I get missions for like, Progenitor Cells and if I go to a station thats supposed to sell them they dont have them.

How do I check if I have horizons or not

>>152560157
it'll show up in the launcher if you have it

>>152560157

Progenitor cells aren't horizons-only.

If you're playing it through Steam and have Horizons it should give you three options: The base game, Horizons or play in VR

>>152560221

well fuck I don't

Should have bought horizons but it was more expensive than the base game.

I still paid much less than 60 dollars though, under 30 actually

>>152559758
That would be the wise thing to do, it would save a lot of trouble, coding for 3 different "platforms" would be horrible.

But they've already shown how retarded they can be, so who knows.

>>152560469
You still paid 20 dollars too much, should have got it for 10

is sothis good for fed rep? I am dying for a gunship and need to get rep fast

Do I melt my aurora down for a 325a or an Avenger Stalker

I just want a decent fighter with a small cargo hold, and I'm poor

>>152562353
Avenger Titan

>>152562353

When game launches itll be easy to get a ship that fills those roles. Having a cargo/fighter doesnt help you in alpha where all you can do is buy clothes for yourself.

Why didn't frontier allow us to land on gas giants?
Wouldn't it be the same as current landable planets but filled with differently colored gas?
Is it difficult to simulate huge volumes of gas?

How the fuck do you know what your planetary longitude and latitude are in ED

i got a whole bunch of tipoffs

>>152566897
In ed youre in a viper or fdl pirating. So you take everything the type 6 has then shoot the guy because hahahahh.

Now you drove another guy to solo.

So really the jokes on you. Not that theres many people to pirate anyways due to people like you....lack of any activites beyond shooting people....nothing to even give people a pause on shooting people.

>>152568473

Why they added tipoffs without the ability to set way points on planets, I'll never know, same with no cargo and releasing engineers. Everything is half-assed.

If I can take it all, I deserve it all. Blowing yourself up I can only assume means you lose more than just your cargo.

>>152569942
I'm starting to think you're the same person in every thread.

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".

>>152569942

Generally refers to people that refuse attempts to modernise the game, cause they just think ED should be a HD remaster of the original elite. At least, that's how I interpret it

You can edit the ingame files to change the Colours of the hud, check the pastebin.

As for hud, I've been trying to find out myself. Is there a way to turn off hud in the cockpit?

Asp or Annie is prime for Sothis runs. A few runs will net you an Asp. Grade 5 FSD optional.

What is the best weapon to use?
I currently use the miniguns but theyre not that good i think but they do most dps according to the stats...
But is there some kind of advantage to lasers?? My cannons do 12.6 dps but laser only does like 9.2 dps

>>152571794
Kinetic (multis) is best for hull, thermal (lasers) is best for shields.

>>152571551
Basically what >>152571709 said. I'd say go for high jump range over high cargo space. In my asp, which isn't optimised yet, I could make 300 ly in 12 jumps or so.

>>152572273
incendiary ammo+corrosive overcharged multicannons is best for both

>>152568972
If you have room for 16 and its a type 6....you probly only need 16. Thats all im getting at.

That and no real consequences or payout for being a pirate. Its fun for a bit if you like rp. After the 3rd or fourth time getting interdicted and blown up id stop playing open.

If the netcode was better and there was a way to pay people to convoy with(guards) i bet it could be even more fun being a pirate with higher risk and higher reward but this is ftroop and emergent gameplay is frowned on.

>>152568982
Thats nice, but being retarded is for /b/ so you should head on over.

Cool. On the wiki it is mentioned that it has three docking collars. I'm going to assume that means up to three small ships can be docked on it.

You can't move ships that are docked to each other anyway, so that's kinda pointless. At least that was the plan last time they talked about docking.

no. ships cannot be in motion while docked with one another via a docking collar.

To store and move ships you need either a hangar (Endeavor/Idris) or a large cargo ship. The latter can only carry disassembled/deactivated ships though and it will take a while to get them ready.

>>152566897
>why would they do that?

Spite. Trading prints money and a full load of cargo is often already more than a trade ship's rebuy cost anyway so they're saying fuck you, you get nothing.

I've been saying that the snub fighter is the most useful defensive measure the Constellation has since the 2.0 patch and the turrets should just be slaved to the pilot's control at all times, but the forums are convinced that having people in the manned turrets and manned engineering stations will somehow just magically make all the difference in a fight.

why fly a space b-17 when you can fly a space b-17 and everyone who was going to be a gunner can just be your fighter escort instead?

multiple ships that can attack constantly from different angles are far more useful. If a ship like the retaliator has to use it's turrets in defence it should be as a last ditch effort, not as a primary means of defense.

It's why bombers since the B-52 maybe only have a single tail gun if any at all. It's not even manned anymore either, it just automatically locks on to any radar signatures that appear and the weapons officer lets it off the chain until the signal goes away.
