The more time passes the less and less that ship matches the aesthetic of the game, I don't think it out right looks bad like some people do. (although the interior is over the top for its roll)
But it dose not mach aegis' style, the general lines of the ship kinda fit but all the detailing is to much and It certainly dose not look like is belongs to or is related to any other manufacturer or ship.

Alright guys; I'm considering jumping on the Star Citizen meme and I think I want to fly a Gladius.

The thing is though, I'm trying to make an informed decision, and I'm not sure what if anything the Gladius has going for it over other fighters of its type, size and cost.

Can someone sell me on the Gladius, (or, more importantly, convince me to look into something different if it's really not good).
>>
didn't see the new thread
>>153032249
Some sort of compensation for ship movement and relaxing of deadzones would probably work. Some sort of ED style gimbal assist might help too.

They do work right now, and it is fun to pretend to be Han/Luke don't get cocky, kid but to make them useful your pilot has to fly very a boring and predictable flight path which - at least on the connie, you're better off just throwing the thing around and bringing your main guns to bear. Manned turrets will be great on ships that you can't throw around like a scalded cat - like capitals etc - but on these smaller, dogfight capable ships, they are pretty dud.

You need a starter pack first and I don't think the gladius has one. Get an aurora starter pack and if you REALLY want a gladius get a lti argo and upgrade it to a gladius

You're probably better off jumping on with the Aurora LN and associated package, but if you've got your heart set on the Gladius it's a maneuverable light fighter with a beefed up version that the UEE military still uses. It's extremely nimble, but rather weak hitting. If you like zipping around the battlefield like a crack addicted chipmunk that's what the Gladius tends to feel like.
>>
>>153034214
It would be best if he got an aurora starter package, then upgraded the aurora to something with LTI, then upgraded that to a gladius or whatever else. That would work, wouldn't it?
>>
>>153034214
>>153034260
I know about the need to get a starter pack. I was going to get one and upgrade immediately/after a bit.

I'm just trying to compare it to the Hornet and Avenger and so forth. Speed is wonderful, but the mounts look tiny in comparison (acknowledging of course that the hornet and its variants are bigger, heavier and more expensive.)

>>153034456
What's the cheapest ship that gives LTI? And not that it matters a lot, why the Aurora instead of the mustang starter package?
>>
>>153034618
>why the Aurora instead of the mustang starter package?

If you're just gonna melt/upgrade, the Aurora is worth $5 "trade in value"
>>
>>153034618
The Mustang tends to be an extremely soft target. If you're not decent with the game's controls you can end up shattering massively very quickly. The LN has a fairly decent weapons loadout and is a lot harder a target than its contemporaries. It's pretty good.

The Auroras are also the only ships that are currently skinnable, which means you can pay an extra $5 to make your LN look like a disco space bus
>>
>>153034618
You can only get LTI from concept sales now. Right now the only concept sale is for Argo MPUVs. You can upgrade from an aurora to the MPUV, but I'm not entirely sure that you get the LTI if you do that. You definitely get it if you buy it as a standalone ship though.
>>
>Try out the training missions for Elite Dangerous.
>Give up fifteen minutes into the advanced combat mission due to awkward boring turnfighting.

I will never criticize Star Citizen combat again. I had my choice of shitty autotarget pulse lasers that didn't do any damage, and shitty railguns that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside and spiked my heat to insane levels.
>>
>>153035152
It's the VISION that decreed ships should yaw slowly, and the VISION is not to be QUESTIONED
>>
>>153035146

CCUs keep the insurance from the ship you're upgrading from, this is why you can buy a $35 Argo and then CCU to a Connie or whatever and the Connie will have LTI.
>>
>>153033963
Use a referral code!
>>
>>153035327

i wish the ccu from gladius to sabre was cheap

my gladius feels 100% like trash and that im wasting my time having it

i have a loaner f7c to use because cat ownership I think, and tryin it over the gladius just feels like its not worth the $20 so theres really nothing to upgrade from without dropping $ 100 to get the sabre
>>
>>153035410
>>153035327
Okay, so let me get this straight, I should:

1. Buy the starter Aurora Package
1a. Use a referral code
2. Buy the MPUV
3. Melt the MPUV for my Gladius, now with LTI
4. Possibly melt my Aurora

Or can I:
2. Upgrade my Aurora to an MPUV
and get the LTI? Or do I have to buy it standalone to get the LTI?
>>
>>153035463
Then wait for the buccaneer to become flyable since it will probably have gladius like maneuvering with enough guns to actually give a shit about
>>
>>153035654

First plan, no, if you melt the aurora you lose the game package.

You can buy the mpuv and upgrade to gladius SEPARATELY and have the aurora with the game package, then an add-on gladius

your second option is definitely no, as you only keep the insurance of the base purchase so if you ccu an aurora into an MPUV, you have an MPUV with like 3 months insurance.

dont bother
>>
>>153035703

Did I happen to miss the Buccaneer concept sale? I'd love to get a supporting pirate ship for my Cat as something else to do... Gladius just feels too limited. If it already hit concept sale, how much was it?
>>
>>153035703
But gladius isnt ugly, unlike buccaneer
>>
>>153035737
Okay, so end result I get the starter aurora and take my MPUV and turn it into a LTI Gladius.

Result: I have an Aurora, a Gladius with LTI and the game package.

Then I can either use the Aurora as well or upgrade it into some other shit i dunno? But the important thing is I need not to ever melt it or bye-bye goes my game package.
>>
>>153035813
Missed it a month or two ago, it went for $110, so if it turns out shit it can CCU to a base Hornet for free.
>>
>>153035813
Concept sale was a few months back, it was $110.
>>
>>153035880
Don't upgrade or melt aurora
It's tied to game package and only has 3 months insurance
>>
>>153035852
I wish Chris didn't fuck with the Bucc design and make them add big, easily destructible wings to slap half the weapons to.

No wings and big engines was the Drake motif anyway.
>>
>>153035891

That's good to hear. That means it'll only be $20-25 to upgrade Gladius into a Buccaneer, since the Gladius to Hornet CCU is like $20.

That sounds good and I'll wait for that. Gladius just feels underpowered in a game where speed doesnt seem to really matter

>>153035880
Technically you'll have an Aurora with the game package and a Gladius with LTI :) But yes, you could later upgrade the aurora if you wanted, but it's best to just hang onto it as a game package. IF you upgrade something from it, that will only have 3 months insurance.

I mean realistically, insurance won't fucking matter. You'll be able to buy it in game for pennies and a negligble impact on your income, so it's more convenience to have LTI than anything of actual value
>>
>>153035986
Okay. But I'm right on the whole rest of the thing so long as I don't even fucking think about touching the aurora and the accompanying package. Right? Okay.

I think I've got it through my head, treat the game package like it's a bumper sticker on the Aurora. Right? Okay. Okay.

>>
>>153036097

For the record, you won't break anything by upgrading the aurora. You'll still keep the package, but since the base insurance is only like 3 months I think? Not really worth it. Might as well wait and buy whatever you want outright
>>
>>153036097
Yep. Don't mess with the game package. Buy standalone lti ship then ccu to desired ship. .

>not buying glorious superior sabre

>>153036026
Yes, it's sad it kept losing features until it becane generic space plane #14. The early idea of it being able hold an external cargo box sounded perfect for a pirate raider. Fly in, disable target, have a Cutlass board ship and shove a cargo box out, bucket grabs box and takes it back to base.

But that got killed early on.
>>
>>153036528
But what if I don't want a space F14? And would rather just have a gladius with guns that might occasionally manage to hurt another ship?

Alright. I got the aurora and the LTI (with attached (not for long) MPUV) at least. I'll upgrade to the Gladius once I'm comfortable that I won't prefer something else.

I went ahead and used the code randomizer, and assuming that's it how it works, here's mine : STAR-QPFF-L5C4

Holy shit they didn't make Grim Hex a jump point unless you're a criminal? That's fucking stupid.

So basically if you have a slow ship like an Aurora or a Mustang your options are either kill someone, turn off a comm station (and not get killed by the pirates who launch ten missiles at you the second you come out of warp), or fly to Yela and then supercruise for literally five minutes (assuming you know exactly where to go)

He said it pretty poorly. You can upgrade the Aurora, but it has really shitty insurance, so he advises against it.

>>153039842

To be fair, insurance is supposed to be something that isn't a huge deal once the actual game is launched.

Just something you have to remember to buy every once in a while.

Also, all insurance that comes with ships (including LTI ships) is just basic "minimal essential coverage" insurance, which means that if your ship gets stolen or destroyed you only get back a stock replacement ship, any money spent on modifications or cargo you had on or in it is lost. The only way around that is to buy more expensive higher coverage/full coverage insurance.

Also, there will be different kinds of insurance for safer/more dangerous areas of space as well.

So basically, even if you have LTI you're still going to have to deal with some form of insurance from time to time, so don't sweat it if you end up with a ship that starts with only three or six months worth.

Sothis runs is about stacking delivery missions.
The cargo doesn't really matter since you are paid for the service not the good.
Just stack the hauler missions make the borning ass trek back and swim in money.
It is very luck based since you're hoping the RNG VISION gives you misisons with decent payout and low tonnage hauls but if you're patient it's possible to make upwards of 60mil with 80t on cargo.

It really is mind-boggling boring but it is pretty much the fastest and safest way to make dosh

At least with smuggling there's an element of excitement and danger from carrying 30 Tonnes of Narcotics into a high security station with well timed heat sinks.
>>
>>153042274
Because the players have no real impact on the economy.
if prices fluctuated significantly based on supply and demand then trading could be interesting as you could potential manufacture shortages to supply them yourself for big buck.

Shit like targeting NPC haulers for a while resulting in not enough performance enhancers arriving for example.
Straight away there's a way for the player to have more agency in the world as well as the added benefit of people forming groups, since having some people run dedicated trader kill ships and some people using trade ships themselves would want to work together for mutual gain.

an org for SC has been discussed somewhat. in the end it just kind of ended at the idea that any organization that we'd make would be a very loose one, and would probably just focus on the members being a merc group selling off their skills and time to the highest bidders. I imagine that, were such a thing to happen, we'd end up fighting each other as escorts and pirates.

Which honestly seems fine to me, we already do that anyway.

i personally think horizons is well worth it. it only costs about 25€ now and the ship launched fighters are soon to come out.

i dont know why everyone hates this business model, i think its a perfectly okay way to get more money for working on the game. also this has advantages for the players who dont want to buy horizons, as they got more detailed planets and new ships if i remember correctly.

Kind of sucks how Fdev is retconning the Thargoids

In previous games they returned to the known space and got cool with humans with Hengist Duval having Ally To The Aliens as one of his titles.

Maybe their general presence in the regions outside the bubble would make the game more lively. Instead we're going to have a shitty war full of conflict zones and flying saucers

A player commodity exchange is something I dream about as I try to gather 25 modular terminals or whatever. "Someone want engineer materials? I've got 12 conductive polymers and chemical manipulators, going for 20,000cr each." Need Painite for a quest? Some guy put 50 tons of the stuff on the market an hour ago but he's trying to sell it for 100,000cr a ton.

Something like that.

Finally got my Courier.

Can I build this thing for combat?
>>
>>153051659

Yes

Weaponry is underwhelming but the thing relies on powerful thrusters and massive shields. Its not vulture where you steamroll everything but I prefer courier

You'll have to learn to maneuver right and once you do you're pretty dangerous
>>
>>153043030
Ix has alot of shit but beam lasers.
>>
>>153051748
I see.

It was supposed to be an upgrade to my Diamondback Scout but so far the Courier feels pretty squishy.
>>
>>153051659
It's a better viper, double the shield capacity, utility mounts, and +2 internal bays. I had a fixed beam and 2 gimballed multiguns.

If you have engineer access, visit farseer she sells unique "enhanced drives" as a replacement to regular thrusters, with a tier 3 dirty thruster upgrade the imp courier can't be touched in combat.
>>
>>153052037
The courier has better shields and should be smaller than the dbs. Plus it can fit scbs easier depending on load out.

I will of couse add citation needed on being smaller. That could just be my garbage opinion.

Space Rangers 1/2 is like the only space game that did alien invasion right. I just wish Elite/SC would be like Space Rangers but with first perspective real time flight instead of turn based point and click.
>>
>>153052252
He probably should have said "lighter", DBS is 170 ton hull while the ImpCourier is a 35 ton hull, so the ImpCourier can get away with smaller/lighter components for the same performance.
>>
>>153053056
Yes. The tonnage bit sets my autism off sometimes. The courier is 35 tons has medium hard points and sports more space vs the eagle and variant that are 50 tons 3 small hard points or the dbs which is 170 tons and less space. Hell even the python vs type 7 is annoying.

I know my problem stems from lack of understanding real world ships.

I plan to steal ships and their cargo, so that probably involves killing them. I currently don't see how it's going to be possible to just take some cargo when it probably won't even fit in your ship or be worth the time.

On that note, I don't see the point in piracy if it doesn't involve stealing the ship AND the cargo. Like why?

Killing crew too often or generally just blowing up everyone you come across will eventually increase UEE and Advocacy crackdowns in the system and make any sort of illicit activities harder for everyone.

Ah shit, found the video. Anaconda is a bit shorter. Though my viewpoint still stands with the Cutter or Corvette. I believe an aircraft carrier has that much extra length because it needs to let the planes land and take off, which space ships don't have to do.

Poking around on lore articles, there really doesn't seem to be a SINGLE system in the UEE, other than maybe Sol, that compares to Stanton when it comes to the amount of developed inhabited worlds. When Chris says you can spend dozens of hours in one system, and he refers to the Stanton system, don't expect that to be typical.
>>

That is exactly what they are. Not only are smaller jump points difficult to navigate (the safe thick ones are trivial so big ships can fit through), but you'll notice they tend to bring you through dodgy systems like Pyro, Nyx, etc.

It's what you described, but you have to take smaller ships, like a Freelancer (or a smaller Hull) to do it.

Just look at how much time you can shave off by going via Pyro, one of the most dangerous systems. Even if you are sacrificing HALF your cargo space, it might still be worth it. Remember you can always choose to trade in smaller, more valuable goods too.

Maybe in the fourth expansion there will be. There's still a shit load of ships missing from the game. Something in between the end game ships we can play and the Capital ships for example.

Then you don't understand pirates. For a start, 90% of them will be AI, and secondly, that last 10% are well aware the only reason a Freelancer or a Taurus is passing through, is because it is stocked up with something valuable. Because otherwise why the fuck would you want to go through Pyro.

Because shit blows up very easily so far. An Avenger with cargo isn't going to be worth all the risks to try and pirate compared to a slow moving ship with easy to open cargo holds.

My problem is that my desk space is at a premium, so I really need information on the size of the base of the stick. For it to be able to actually fit on my desk I'd need it to be a little less that six and a half inches across, that's my biggest issue.

There will be an interdiction mechanic, and then it sounds like you will be able to stop people from escaping with tractor beams or something like that.

Don't have any of the weapons that don't do that yet.

>We're fucking talking about gameplay here, not some random mentality that a random person may or may not have.

You know this is a massively multiplayer game, right? In systems like Pyro, pirates will be able to get away with anything because no UEE.

There are weapons specifically designed for disabling and not destroying ships.

Also, you can just tell them to drop their cargo or die. Considering there are real consequences for dieing/getting your ship blown up, they might well say yes.

An Avenger you probably wouldn't bother getting to drop its cargo, but it isn't a trading ship, its a fighter with a small cargo hold. Think of something like a Freelancer or a Taurus.
>>
>>153065346
>You will be able to stop people from escaping with tractor beams or something like that.

Tractor beams only work on disabled ships. Using them on moving ships causes damage to the emitter, so you'll likely just fuck yourself.

Gladius is the most agile fighter in the game, but the guns are shit and it is not very tough at all.

The Hornet is less agile but is much better value for money overall.

The Sabre of course is the best pure fighter at the moment.

The Sabre is a literal upgrade, its meant to be a more expensive, better ship.

Keep in mind that by 3.0 you will be able to get ships in game most likely, and anyway if you are desperate for a Sabre you can upgrade to it before then with the big sale they put on at CitizenCon.

Gladius is git gud: the ship.

The Sabre is literally in the lore as AEGIS trying to recapture some of the Gladius magic with a new high tech better version.

>>153067354
Not necessarily.

Sabre could have a lot less capacity for upgrading because its a new design, whereas the Gladius is a fucking old design - more parts and upgrades designed to fit.

They've said this multiple times, and that cost won't be the only factor preventing you from switching to a new ship, and that you should be able to use any ship from the beginning of your career to the end.

That kind of talk is really just to sell virtual spaceships with real money, but once you look at the meta even right now, it's obvious that what you are saying is a pipedream.Some ships are always going to be more optimal than others, even if we discount variants like the LN being a straight upgrade.

>>
>>153068187
Not AC you big silly, the babby PU. Obviously the fights in AC are not much like anything else, though they are somewhat instructive in seeing isolated cases of some ships just being better than others.

Again, the Gladius' advantages will be that it is cheap and plentiful.
>>
>>153068068
It will. Also, it's Dying Star, with the only inhabited part that station with a ring on it, that is meant to be constantly fought over by different pirate groups. GrimHex and Levsky are meant to be babbymode compared to Pyro.

I don't know about your performance but I don't think my game runs well enough to draw many conclusions from that either.

>>153068434
I guess the other big thing is pilot preference. Once they get the balance and steering of these ships somewhat down, it will be far more of a thing to get a "feel" for a ship and decide you like piloting that one more. The Gladius turns a little better than the Sabre, giving up a lot of firepower for that though. Personally I prefer going straight for the M50, having a tiny profile is worth losing the extra gun, and it takes GOTTA GO FAST up a whole new level.

SC is pretty fun to dick around in right now, if you can handle the silky smooth 30fps

The way they implemented pirates vs carebears was really clever and makes me more optimistic about the way they will eventually balance this shit in the "full" game. There are only a few basic features, but the really helped to split players into a few set groups (civs just wanting to have fun, CAREBEAR POLICE, chilled pirates who might be up to some skullduggery, and edgelords who camp outside grimhex and kill people for no reason).

Oh, and you also get players who literally spend their whole time being buses to show noobs Grimhex or other places. So far every single one I've met of these have been German.

The way you phrased it sounded like players have the 325a and the M50.

The 325a is a decent ship but you are up against specialised fighters in a tiny arena where you can't just use your speed to GTFO, so it makes sense they are beating you. If you have a HOTAS and git gud, nothing should be able to hit you in an M50 tho.

They don't hit the M50 and more often than not they can't hit the 325 either, but neither do I hit them and if I do shields usually absorb everything so boom and zooming is limited.

If you can deal with the very low projectile velocity then go for Tarantula Mk3 guns, otherwise go for the Broadswords.

I have no idea if the Mantis guns are any good.

Because it's a buisness, my jolly-pal. We constantly capture his capships and use our many reclaimers to break them down into valuable scrap to sell. They're basically an infinitely-renewing source of material.

Step 1: Capture
Step 2: Break down to salvage
Step 3: ???????
Step 4: Profit
Step 5: Repeat

>>153076314
Yeah as said above after the first time we'd have to start boarding, which wouldn't be too difficult if he fails to find anyone else.

The other question is if he'd be stupid enough to respawn in the Javelin or Idris after that.

Nope, your lucky run ended. Also this spoiler shit is faggy we should stop

>>153076314
What do you think capture is refering to? We're just boarding it when it shows up. Armed incursions into safespace to secure his ship of the week before using it's capship grade armour to take it back to nulsec to strip it.

Anyone else doing hands on throttle and mouse? I've got a Warthog HOTAS I used to use but decided to swap the joystick for my Roccat Tyon mouse.

This is fucking stellar! Got the gimbal gun precision of a mouse with the fine throttle and motion control of the ... throttle. The Tyon has a thumb lever axis that I use for roll so I still have full flight control for pitch/roll/yaw on the right hand. Plenty of buttons for weapons, counter measures, targeting and view look, then on the throttle body I've got my translation controls, decoupling, a lockable brake (speed brake forward holds there), and then when I release it, brake is released. Pull back for boost, double pull back for AB.

Welcome to the /scg/ olympic's favourite sport: "How long can you space hobo on Admiral's Javelin"!

This week's winner is Roger Bantermoar, who successfully managed to stay aboard Admiral's Javelin for six straight weeks without being detected. And to top it off, he also managed to salvage 5,000 scrap cargo units and the primary drive unit of the Javelin! He managed to make his escape with his booty by loading all the cargo onto Admirals nearby parked Merchantman before making off with it all to sell at Spider. This beat's out last champion who only managed to stay for two weeks but did manage do convince Admiral that his ship was haunted. That's all for this month, folks!

It's shit in terms of usability, unless if you have a large ship that can use it, like the Idris, Endeavor, Javelin. It's primarily just an LTI token.

I hope they let us augment for utility too. They already said augmenting your eyes so you can having Ghost in the Shell style mobiglass built in (upside no one can see your personal stuff in public.) and built in visual HUD Deus Ex style.

I don't see it being too far fetched in getting stuff to enhance strength, speed and endurance at the cost of moving your character closer to permadeath.

Would be also cool to crew a Idris and be a pilot for one of the captain's fighters (cause you know any asshole who owns an Idris is gonna include the best fighters available).

The problem would probably come from how to wear clothes and space suits with huge augments.

I mean, they could do it where clothes remove sleeves and stuff for the robot bits if they are too big but they are lazy and will probably never think of that. They needed that German super genius who figured out procedural planets over a weekend to work on this.

It's a planetary installation. You'll need to find the planet first.

If the system has no nav beacon you have to explore the system with a discovery scanner or buy the astrocatographic data (if it's available) from another system within 20LY of that one.

Passive detection range is 5ls. Active detection range when honking the scanner depends on the grade of scanner.

Basic = 500ls
Intermediate = 1000ls
Advanced = infinite range

You can find planets out of your range via parallax against the background stars while you're in motion at high speed. They also tend to look like little white hazy blobs, in contrast with the sharp points that are distant stars.

So instead of SC having a big release date in which it is "done", instead they are just building it out module by module, each being playable as it is made.

About a year ago they added in the main module, the universe itself, though only with an area you can explore around a single gas giant and the satellites it has.

By the end of the year we get the next really big upgrade, giving us the entire system, with multiple planets that you can fly down to, and way way more space stations. And they will continue like that, adding more content and features.

Right now in terms of gameplay it's pretty much just combat, trading comes in that big end of year update.

>>153082863

Detecting the planet by honking will cause it to show up in your map as "Unexplored". Then you can fly up to it to do a surface scan (distance for which depends on its mass and size), at which point it'll be identified and you'll be able to see additional data about it like composition and gravity.

>>153082889
the current build is unreliable. if you want spess mmo, the proof of concept is there but the netcode is ass and that won't change for a few months, so it can be incredibly difficult to do anything.
if you want arena dogfightan, that's all there and fun, and the netcode runs much better for that. if you're skeptical wait for the spess CoD module that's coming soon, so you at least have a variety of reliable ways to shoot people.

yes, it is fun.

Get away from the star so you can get up to 10+ C and do a big loop around it along the equatorial axis while looking outward. If you spot a hazy white dot that appears to be more prominent than the stars around it or is moving relative to the background, head towards it.

Or just dock at Feoktistov and buy the system map. It shouldn't cost more than a few hundred cr.

Illfonic's botched work was a hard-won lesson for CIG: Outsourcing is bad. If you look at their monthly reports they've cut a lot of the studios they were working with. The only ones they kept were Behavior and Turbulent.

CGBot, Illfonic, VoidALPHA, and Mooncollider have all been let go. Ever since about early-to-mid 2015 it seems Chris has been going increasingly inhouse with things.

>>153082608

Squadron 42 split off into a bigger project, the Persistent Universe is iteratively developed and they've basically cast aside the concept of a release date, 2.5 just came out with some new ships, weapons, item technology, and a new "pirate base." 2.6 comes out in the next month or two with Star Marine (finally) and sweeping updates for Arena Commander. 3.0 is coming out around December (hopefully) and it'll include the entire Stanton system as well as one landing zone that's supposed to be in Nyx.

Don't know much about Squadron 42 or its scheduled release. Chris said he was holding all of that stuff back for Citizencon in October and implied it would be even more impressive than the Gamescom presentation of proto-3.0 which you can find here:

Almost all planets will be on the star's orbital plane. Extra-solar captures that end up in oblique orbits in a system are rare.

Multi-star systems can be complicated though, since the planet could be orbiting either star or in a wide orbit around the center of gravity for both stars.

All of this is pointless with an advanced scanner though, since it'll find everything in the system in one honk.

You can actually go directly to the settlement named in your mission and stick a toe in the trespass zone to wake up tons of them.

Probably not the safest solution and it'll probably be illegal to shoot them down, but it's the fastest way to find them.

+++ = large settlement so they'll probably already be milling around. If they're not already in the air then driving an SRV into a trespass zone and then backing right back out is enough to cause them to go airborne.

You'll probably want to land your ship behind a hill so the AA turrets don't love it tenderly once they're pissed at you. Drive your SRV up, shoot down a few skimmers and haul ass back out out there to your ship.

>>
>>153087556

Okay so you probably noticed those skimmer and base assault missions pay well, right?

There's a reason for that. Namely the missions are complicated and/or difficult.

The + signs indicate how large the settlement or base is. High/med/low security you won't see until you're in the system and checking the system map but those just dictate how big the trespass zone is. Low sec will usually let you drive all over the place except right next to the power generators. High sec gives you a trespass warning before you even get into the settlement.

Large (+++) settlements tend to have very strong anti-ship defenses. When you open fire on their skimmers they are going to go itano circus on your ass.

Ground defenses are comparatively weaker because SRVs are hard to target and terrain/structures more easily obscure line of sight to you.

>>153087875

I've done it before in a Cobra with tuned up drives. It's just not the recommended method for carrying out those missions.
>>
>>153088270

>>
>>153088453

You can also do skimmer missions by finding random points of interest on a planet, but that requires an SRV. The skimmers you find at a POI are usually wanted and the same faction as the one controlling the planet. They won't come out of hiding unless you approach the POI in an SRV though, since they know you can't steal their ship from a ship.

What? No it doesn't.

Speed makes absoutely no difference in the current iteration of the game in combat. When the TTK of a weak ship like the 300 or Gladius is about 1-3 seconds under fire from a Hornet/Sabre/Vanguard, your speed doesn't matter AT ALL. You will die before you even have a chance to burn away

>>153092518
Jesus fuck you are retarded on several levels, that is impressive.

Speed is hugely important right now, now more than ever, because Hornets simply can't catch you now if you are in a faster ship.

That's not even what I was referring to, I just meant when traveling around Yela or any other area, it's great to have that extra afterburner top speed.

If you can't avoid a Hornet's fire in a 325a then I don't know what to say to you, you probably have some motor neurone disease

So grats, you're able to run away from every fight and never actually shoot anyone. Being fast and far away doesn't matter because that person is still alive... so if you were wanting to kill them, you won't. Your weapons dont have any range advantage, so if you try to close in to actually shoot, they'll loose a couple seconds of cannon fire at you and guess what, you're dead. Your shields died because your ship is small and weak and all that speed mattered for nothing.

So sure, a speedy ship helps if you never want to actually fight. In that case you might as well get an M50

The PU offers an extra speed level, not the 325.

>>153092326
AC is still full of Hornets and Sabres. Even saw one trying to race today.
>>
>>153092892
Years of shitposting over AC has actually warped your brain apparently.

No shit if you are running away from some-one you can't kill them, that is exactly what I was referring to with "now", aka with the PU. It's only because of shitters like you obsessing over AC leadertables that the idea that only one ship is optimal survives (even then it's not that much better, just the best at farming points, you can still be absolutely viable in AC with an M50 or a 350R, you will just score more slowly).
>>
>>153093174

> thinks I'm memeing about AC

So here's the thing about PU.

Here's what you can do. A) You can go to a comm station, fight off some pirates, hit F on it. B) You can go to a distress beacon, fight off some pirates, hit F on it. C) You can go to the Security Post and fight players, D) You can go salvage wrecks in Yela with a Reclaimer.

So... 3 of the 4 things you can do in the PU require fighting. So why would you pick a ship (300, Gladius, M50, etc) that are absolutely 100% worse than the standard Hornet/Sabre/Vanguard bullshit flying around?
>>
>>153084231
>cast aside the concept of a release date

I hope you mean an announced release date, because they are definitely going to do a final purge, switch from beta to final, which will likely be a massive event marking the "launch" of Star Citizen official/retail.
>>
>>153093507

Exactly, final wipe is essentially the launch, and that will be announced.
>>
>>153092450
The question is will CIG get triggered again and result in Chris making a moron of himself with another letter?

Because its all but confirmed this nick guy is gonna make a bunch of criminal accusations of the project.
>>
>>153093617
>Final Wipe
That's the Beta Launch, not the commercial launch. They're keeping the shit from Beta into release, according to the last time the devs talked about it.
>>
>>153093424
Because exactly what I was referring to, they are faster. They get to all of those places faster and can avoid other ships that chase them due to being faster. Plus the gap is noway near as big as you have convinced yourself it is, the best pilot still wins in pretty much any duel, and having a ship that can dodge better can be vital. Plus, if you fuck up, you can always escape due to the aforementioned.

Speed it dictates who dominates the fight. What makes you think it's not important?

The guy with the superior speed can choose what to do while you'd be forced to follow up whatever they're doing. It just gives you a lot more options if you are the faster craft.

Too bad shields are in the way of proper boom and zoom shit.

>>153093424
Are you implying that the pirates are hard to fight in anything that isn't a Sabre or Hornet? It's piss easy in a 325a and I doubt the M50 is gonna be much different because I can just put those Omniskys on it too.

That said who really cares about the current PU where there is fuck all to do?

ok, so i had a few drinks and ended up buying the explorer pack and the double argo pack,

I'm liking the concept of the terrapin and the reclaimer makes my dick hard so the carrack is getting CCU'ed,

What should I swap the dragonfly and the argos into?

I like the idea of a cutlass for a messing around, 2 person fun time ship, but heard it is pretty shitty in the PU and not worth it

Also like the sound of the herald, but not sure how much it's design intentions overlap with the terrapin and think i should probably get some sort of fighter instead, any ideas?

sorry for the blog post

The Carrack is getting a "good/big surprise" before long, so you may want to hold onto the CCU token until you see it.

prepare to shit bricks if you jump into a binary in a bad angle or into a black hole if you're (un)lucky

I like it but it's a bit cramped, maybe not as big as I want.

What about the Starfarer or the Reclaimer? Ideally i'd like to haul solid cargo with a Starfarer.
>>
>>153095763

Well I advised caterpillar as you were after a base ship, the cockpit can be detached from the main vessel, which seems to offer modular storage.

It's not in game yet, but I got it with the 2 dragonfly's when they were announced, hoping to make it my home away from the hangar.

maybe, I have a handful of reclaimer to carrack CCU's as its on sale so i should be able to do a few swaps, but i'm thinking one 5 crew ship will be enough and the concept of the reclaimer calls to me more than the carrack

How viable would that be anyway? Turning your ship into your main base and home.

Depends on what you wanted. If you wanted the original version of the Cutlass, you'll never fucking get it. The Buccaneer doesn't have ANY cargo space. If you wanted a fighter out of the Cutlass, the Buccaneer should be it. If you wanted a cargo and bounty hunting ship out of the Cutlass, the Buccaneer is the worst.

>>153099350

Another Privateer game known as Privateer 2: The Darkening was released in late 1996, helmed by Erin Roberts, the brother of Chris Roberts. However, The Darkening is not a storyline sequel, but a spin-off. The naming of the game as "Privateer 2" was not decided until rather late in its development.


So yes. I almost liked Privateer 2 a little better, if anything just because it was more story oriented and as a younging I guess I wasnt into the whole sandboxy

Privateer 2 is a deeply flawed but still enjoyable game, really. I think Erin and Chris need each other, ultimately: Chris to get people to think big, Erin to get Chris to dial back and actually get things done. Without Erin you get Freelancer, a game where the scope overtook everything and the game was barely pumped out at all. Without Chris you get Privateer 2, a game whose gameplay was broken and rushed.

I talked to a guy a few hours ago who's been exploring deep space in a sidewinder for the past 183 days and he has no AMFU, just an A jump drive, D everything else, 2 heat sinks (long since depleted), fuel scoup and adv/detail sensors. He's planning on returning back to the bubble "eventually" since he wanted to see if it was possible for a sidewinder to go from one end of the galaxy to the other.

Some people are weird and just enjoy exploring procedural content.

I'm betting he's going to get killed by an NPC the moment he gets back near the bubble.

As of ATV 100 Part 2 he was helming Foundry 42. it'd have to have been really recent that they shifted him, and I don't remember ever hearing about it. Chris is in LA and seems to make semi-frequent trips to Austin. My guess is that Foundry 42 is too valuable to not leave a director there. Chris seems to trust his brother, so having him oversee the most important part of current development is pretty logical.

OK seriously, does anyone else find the RSI site unintuitive, annoying and stupid?

I want to like this game, but the developers just make it really hard for me to.

For example, the voyager direct page. Why are the weapons just willy nilly all over the place? Why is there no filter box, to allow finding weapons quickly? Why do you have to click on each one and read about them on another page? I mean, they know that tooltips exist...

So, I have a Hornet, and the stats page says that the wings can mount Size 4 guns, but I can't find any size 4 guns that I want, only the Panther size 3, or the Mantis size 3. Coincidentally, those S4 mounts only come with S2 weapons, get your wallet out, oy vey!

And you'd think "M7" for the laser gun, would be a size 7, and M6 would be size 6, all the way to M1 which would be size 1... nope that would be too easy. That's unintuitive and stupid too.

Then, this little gem; some pay2win garbage that lets you upgrade one of the hardpoints to fit a "size 4" retalliator weapon... But I quote:

>Use this Hornet Flashfire Specialty Mount to turn the S5 mount on any Hornet-class ship into an S4 fixed gun slot, allowing pilots to mount the Behring S4 Combine Ballistic Cannon with explosive rounds (originally intended for use aboard the Retaliator bomber!)

There are no size 5 hardpoints on a Hornet.

And just in case you have OCD, the nose mount has a max size 1 and a max size 2, meaning to outfit meta weapons, they will be odd and asymmetrical.

I just can't.

I was just messing around in the PU last night, getting used to the controls, etc. I finally got to the comm station to try doing my very first mission, and I managed to get my weapon out for the first time. I floated towards the comm station and test-fired my gun, then I got killed from behind. It made me ragequit the game.

Honestly, why do people want to be decent players in this game, when literally anyone can ruin your session by being an ass. At this point, I think I'm probably just going to kill everyone I see. Like driving around in GTAV, killing AFKers and anyone I can.

Right now there is literally zero penalty for dying, and practically zero penalty for killing people or griefing, so people are just fucking around and being dicks for the hell of it.

This will change as we get closer to release. The actual PU will have consequences for killing people in safe space and griefing shouldn't be a huge issue if you take steps to prevent it (as in, don't go into unmonitored/pirate space in your hangar queen 890 Jump with just you in the pilot's seat).

3.0 very much sounds like it's their first real step to making Star Citizen into an actual MMO, finally we'll have a use for cargo holds, we'll have a use for pirating, we'll have places that people will want to go, and so on.
