Thinking about getting Star Citizen since Elite has become way too boring, and NMS was a disappointment. Which of the starting ships should I grab?

Or should I not even bother?

>>152786609
Not him, but it is pretty pointless to have a ship video just regurgitate what the page says and what roles it obviously fills are. You'd be better off having a science program or even just a music visualizer on the other monitor, at least then you'd be enjoying some good tunes.

>what is up with these two generals being together, I assumed you fought like cats and dogs.
We're both getting fucked, just in different positions.

>>152789807
No reason to fight since pretty much everyone plays/is looking forward to both games.

>>152789807
SC is unfinished, ED is empty. Splitting the generals and we'd just have dead threads

They're practically identical for casuals anyway.

Hah, when you put it that way it's so obvious. Roberts is a master of hype. He's going to release SQ42, and a week or two later release 3.0, so the hype built up from SQ42 reignited Wing Commander memories will shift directly and immediately over to Star Citizen, pulling in a massive influx of pledges both new and old.

Completely rational and well though out, save for the part about SC fans being irrationally paranoid, which he himself said after having to deal with the insanity that is Derek Smart firsthand. Most of the forum are totally rabid fans though, regardless of Smart.

>>152791950
I know I just saw it. It actually made me redownload 2.4 and try it again to see how the game is

>>152792069
2.5 is going to be out any day now so I would wait.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link//15477-Anvil-Terrapin-Q-A-Part-1

What's the post-release marketing for SC looking like? Will it be the same package that's on the site now where I pick a ship, pay $45, and I'm in with that ship on-hand? May the price go up post-release? Could the ship selection change? I'm more than interested in this sort of in-depth space shit, but I don't feel like dropping $50 on an unfinished game.

> tl;dr
w/out lifetime insurance anymore, is there any reason to not wait for release to buy?

>>152791670
Yep. It wouldn't be the first time that a game announces its exact release date just a few months before actually releasing, but if they do plan a 2016 release it's going to be cutting it extremely close.

Personally, I'm still expecting a 2017 delay, but at least 3.0 has a good shot at making it this year.

>>152792223
Probably 60 bucks for a Aurora/Mustang package only. Most likely more expensive to get Sq 42 with that when we're near or at release.

>>152792223
Right now it's $45 for the PU and an extra $15 for the SQ42 campaign for a total of $60. I doubt that it will change except they might merge the two for $60 for the release.

>>152792153
>2.5 is going to be out any day

December 19 is not any day now

>>152791505
Not for me. I come for info and banter with my fellow spess bros.

>>152792810
2.5 = star marine (FPS arena) and pirate starting area

3.0 = planetary landing & atmospheric flight

WHo should I devote myself to in powerplay?
I don't know what it is but you get free money right

>>152792907
thanks

goddamn the dragonfly is cool
not real money cool, but definitely a high priority for purchasing in game

>>152792907
2.6 is supposed to be star marine. 2.5 is already in the PTU which includes Grim Hex and the Reliant Kore. Don't give people false info.

>>152792907

>>152792810
SC release in large patches. Earlier this year 2.o released with the planet and moons with a few stations. With each successive patch, they added new ships, fixed bugs (which is the main purpose of the alpha right now), introduced somewhat barebones game systems, and recently added a new space station for pirates called grimhex. There will be new patches after 2.5. 2.6 is supposed to be a major update to FPS elements. 3.0 is supposed to be an expanded solar system with landable planets and shit with actual missions, but at this point idk what 2.7, 8, 9, or otherwise will hold. They used to be 2.7 as far as I know.

>>152792965
Feds = Corporate USA
Imps =Space Rome
Alliance = EU

Just pick whatever.

>>152792223
>>152792421
If anything they might sell both for $60 each at release, with maybe a "Battlefield+Premium"-esque price-point. SQ42 chapters are supposedly one of the major ways they're going to support the company post-release. So:

>Star Citizen: $60 with choice of Mustang or Aurora
>SQ42 Chapter 1: either $40 or $60, depending on how they value the single player campaign
>SQ42 Chapter 2-thru-#: Same price as Ch.1

>>152792965

>>152784960
There's not a whole hell of a lot to do in Star Citizen as it stands right now. It's pretty much just a ship vs ship arena mode, and the first iteration of the persistent universe. The latter is really buggy and doesn't have much in the way of content.

If you want to be able to get into it and play new patches as they release, I'd recommend just getting one of the basic starter packages. Aurora is the all-rounder, Mustang is more of a fighter, from what I understand.

If you backed before this, you get Ch.1 and Ch.2. Some interview said it Ch.2 was going to be 2 years after Ch.1, so you got a good deal if you did that.

>>152793273
I suspect 3.0 no later than March.

>>152793506
Unfortunately no. Edmund Mahon gives a trade profit bonus. Sothis is mission profit.

Tarantulas or Longswords for avenger wings?

High wake = travel to another star system
Low wake = jump to/drop from supercruise

>>152794945
high wake = jumping to another system
low wake = jumping to/from supercruise

High wakes cannot be mass locked by other ships, which is why it is frequently recommended for escape.

>>152795163
You can also high-wake out of interdiction attempts. It's a giant fuck-you to pirates.

Well now that I've played a couple of hours of Elite again I think I'll move on to something else.

Is Freespace 2 as good as people claim? I so far only played a couple of missions and it's fun. Heard there are some massive battles in it, when do those come in?

For Star Citizen FPS weapons, how do the ballistics stack up against the energy weapons?

>>152797762
They're actually not.

But the main issue was that ballistics / energy weapons act completely differently in E:D than they do in SC.

You can get away with a full ballistic loadout in SC and not run out of ammo completely after one ship, because there isn't the "You need to damage the shields with energy weapons first, nuh uh!" mechanic.

Last I remembered they said face customization is just going to be "blend between several faces", and now they want to do Black Desert like customization?

citizenship is vaguely based on starship troopers in that it's kind of an aristocracy with certain privileges, but they won't be big ones that will inconvenience you greatly for not having them. anyway you'll probably get citizenship so long as you finish sq42 and don't wash out or steal a military craft or something (which might be possible)

Well, I was hoping the interior would be modular like the Retaliator modules or Carrack modules. But I suppose modularity can't come with every ship, and it does seem to be a nice explorer.

They've pulled back on the refinery part. Now the fuel scoop only produces about enough fuel for the ship's personal use instead of allowing you to slowly fill up the tanks and make pure profit..

ED noob here, just started... couldn't figure how to lift off after undock, so after mashing different buttons I stumbled upon R and went up... to suddenly explode. Not sure if I bumped into something ot it's because I fired my guns at the station, lel.

I have to say the default mouse+keyboard control setup is FUCKING RETARDED.

What would you recommend as settings? The roll thing when you move your mouse left and right killed my soul, took me 5 minutes to figure out AD are left are left/right mouse up/down are up/down and mouse left/right are roll left/right. Retarded.

Hey boys, needing some advice.
I melted my Cutlass because frankly it's shit and I play solo anyway. Now I'm tempted to melt my beloved Penguin too because it's seriously underpowered and even pirates take a year and a half to kill.
All of this would leave me with $175 in store credit, but I don't really know what to buy with it.
I'm tempted to get the Hornet Ghost because playing as a stealthy smuggler/datarunner excites me but knowing CIG I feel like the gameplay mechanics needed to make that ship useful won't be impletement in this century.
So yeah, advice?

>>152806443
Its too big. Big ship isnt comfy.

>>152806194
CIG claimed the current model is just a placeholder, but considering they're adding a variant just for Squadron 42, it's safe to say that's what the vanguard is going to look like, literal copy/paste sabre cockpit and all.

Getting a Mustang to get fucking rekt by every criminal doesn't sound that appealing.

>>152806350

Change roll to A + D, and Yaw to mouse X-axis. Instantly improves the controls.

One thing I recommend is changing the FSD controls. J usually controls both Engage Supercruise and Engage hyperpace, jumping to SC when a system isn't selected. However you can change this so SC is one button and HS is another. I have mine set to J and K respectively. Furthermore there's an unbound funtion to select the next system in your planned route. If you target something else while traveling between systems, you'll have to manually re-lock your next destination (it's really fucking dumb). Binding this option to a key allows you to reselect that system with going to your control panel. I have mine set to I

Also, did you not get the pre-flight checks? Usually when you take off for the first time, you have a list of controls that you have to "check". Functions like a tutorial.

>>152806131

There's a freecam, and some ships have some interior work done, mainly the big ones with fighter bays and fractures in the hull at critical damage.

Also, you should stop with the basic shapes meme.

He's telling you in a roundabout way that the default loadouts suck, and that the Avenger is good with Tarantulas.

>change this so SC is one button and HS is another. I have mine set to J and K respectively

Where is the SC button? The second in pic related?

the description is confusing

>>152809364
Does he know that we can't buy weapons anymore?

Don't Thargoids just pull you out of Witchspace and assfuck you? Why is anyone excited about them?

>Enable FSD to Supercruse

HOW DO I GIT GUD

>>152809475
nobody is excited to have another way for NPCs to randomly fuck you over

what people are excited about is additional content and grinds

>>152809384

Yeah, set the second to Supercruise, and the third to Hyperspace.

So if i am pledged to the space chink, and i get the packhounds unlocked, can i stop being pledged to him or do i have to stay pledged and grind the 750 merits every week to keep access to the packhounds

>>152809657
Thanks m8

>have literally 10 minutes in the game
>get berated for asking

Calm down, you have been playing this for years.

>>152809616
the adder is a godly combat ship anon, there's nothing you could have done

grind some more engineer upgrades

>>152809665

I think you can keep the module you have, but you can't buy any more at stations.

FUCKING JEWS GIVE ME MY SHIP

>>152809665
keep pledged to keep access. And no, there's no way to store components, yet.

>>152809601
Oooooooh everyone told me you couldn't

Bad Info

>>152792810

Grim Hex, Kore, Argo, more keybindings to change. Another netcode update and aUEC reset (lol like it ever mattered).

2.6 has Star Marine, 3.0 has all sorts of shit but who knows what will make the cut.

I hope you're enjoying it :)

Holy shit this Galnet news thingy in ED is awesome. Talk about immersion.

I've never seen it mentioned before. It's a huge plus for ED if it is updated regularly.

Look at this

Purchase justified :3

>>152810238
The only ships I have are my original Bounty Hunter LTI and a couple $20 starters in separate accounts to sell to friends.

Everything else I plan to earn in game.

>>152810183
Is there anything to actually buy with aUEC right now? Last time I checked I only found spacesuits. (Speaking of, when are they giving us our RSI test suits and ORC mk 9?)

>>152810592

>>152807616
>>152807915
I meant on the flyable ships which can sport damage. There's definitely wreckage models floating around out there. The Clipper wrecks are super neato.

>>152810183
2.5 also has a shitload of flight changes and they removed the helmet display from several ships. If you're a gladius or avenger pilot you'll be happy (well, until you realize you can't see shit on the avenger's UI panel) If you're a Connie, Super Hornet, 325A, or vanguard pilot you'll be very unhappy.

Also they broke missile racks on every ship except the Delta

FPS weapons, Space Suits, Civvies, Paying out your ships excess, repair/refuel/restock. Although the last two can be avoided easily.

how do I switch between the top row of icons?

>>152810720
handheld guns, and useless ugly clothes at the Space Old Navy.

2.5 adds a Space Hot Topic at the outlaw base to buy even uglier useless clothes from.

Maybe in 2.6 they'll finally add ship components

>>152810921
>Also they broke missile racks on every ship except the Delta

Thats fine.

Missiles are shit and were crashing the game.

>>152810921

Not in the PTU so I was not aware of those changes :( Looks like I will be having to use Z a shitload more in the stalker.

>>152811141

Q + E

>>152810921
I hope they re-enable the holo hud for the 2.5 live release. The MFDs are terrible.

>>152811254
well fuck me that's pretty intuitive and the only combo I didn't try

I love the interface with 1,2,3,4 and how it closes on side menus. Good job devs.
