Well.. Cargo ones, obviously. See what was looted.

You arrive at the beacon you were given, the coordinates of an unlicensed, unsanctioned club way in the ass end of nowhere. "Off the Rocks", it's called, and floats precariously above the local asteroid belt. Looking at it, you see that it's two Caterpillars docked together, with a few extra open airlock docks for arrivals.

Upon entering, you are relieved of your weapons by two extremely scruffy looking guards. They are sporting heavy armor and what looks to be an energy shotgun.

Way out here, this far outside of UEE patrolled space, is the hottest illicit club in the 'verse. You can find drugs, whores (human, alien, sexbot, your choice), drinks that have been banned in 18 systems and all manners of socialization.

What music to you expect to hear playing over the soundsystem? Lets get some links to build the playlist!

Still looking to build the playlist and figure out the theme/feel of the place

The Starfarer wreck in the 3.0 demo was pretty cool. I can't really decide. Large industrial and capital ship wrecks should be awesome in general, if the catastrophic damage R&D they showed for the Idris is any indictation.

After a prolonged military campaign, the Vanduul manage to open a gateway between Vega and Sol. A battle ensued, and many sacrifices were made by both the military and civilians to protect the homeworld. Finally, the Vanduul were driven off, many clanships were lost and their ability to wage war crippled, but not before they managed to sack Earth, killing millions and destroying much of the homeworld's infrastructure.
As the dust began to settle Terran separatists used this opportunity to seize control of the planet's government and declare independence from Earth and the UEE, and many Senators and Governors of planets, mostly in the "Eastern" potion of the Empire declared their support for the new Terran government. The UEE, with its fleets severely damaged and depleted after the Battle of Sol, was unable to respond with force as it might have in the past and began to rely on private military companies to attempt to keep order, or to at least prevent the new Terran government from enforcing their terms by threatening Earth.

Who do you side with?

The missile rack mounts to a hardpoint on top of the cockpit, just in front of the intake.

Might be hard to actually see the hardpoint in the hangar to select it though. Maybe try from inside the cockpit or the bed.

And the FPS module was cancelled because CIG felt that the nice-looking PAX footage wasn't good enough to release to the backers, and yet the Arena Commander crap I just experienced has been 'good enough' for backers for years now.

It's all because they can't work out why the ironsights and other weapon attachments won't attach to the right gun. The sniper rifle scope attaches to your Assault rifle when holstered, but doesn't even render when used.

I ended up with a leftover Starfarer as a result of melting/upgrading other stuff. I have another one that I intend to keep.

right now we've got a bunch of missions for repair sensor arrays, one mission to get insurance evidence, and kill one guy for some money.

3.0 will add, at the very least one planet that you can land one and will have at least one more quest for you to do that's a little more involved than the other ones we have.

Other people will tell you it will add a lot more, but I can only say as to what was shown of it, which was exactly what I said.

I doubt the price will go up.

ATM you can do all the flying around and walking in and outside of spess ships even while they are flying, and do a few basic missions that tend to just be killing pirates and then leaving your ship, EVAing out to access a beacon and heading back in.

That's all the game has right now, not counting the added arcade battle and race modes but it is pretty fun to just dick around in. It's not a full game, but it's pretty damn compelling, you can spend a few evenings on it.

An update that is meant to come at the end of the year will add everything from the gamescom demo, including TRADING and going down to planets, two hugely important features, as well as a metric shittone of more stations to visit and even landing zones (right now you are stuck in spess and in spess stations)
>>
>>153114838

To be fair its a BIT more complex than that in terms of doing stuff. The "Kill one guy" is another player, the most wanted player on the instance at the time.

Fixing the sensor arrays has an opposite in that outlaws have to go and destroy the sensor arrays. There's a bit of a back and forth there.

If you fix enough sensor arrays, you get a security guard job quest that you go to Security Post Kareah and try to defend a computer. Outlaws are then trying to get to the computer to hack it and reduce their outlaw status.

The FDL is the combat oriented vessel. It's not so much about the hardpoints but the maneuverability. Also the fuel tank is small as fuck, and you can carry like 32 cargo, max.

>>153118673
I've seen HOSAS people use the throttles for things like a cruise control switch. Basically if their left stick (which presumably would be set up for throttle or forward/backward strafe) wasn't in use, the game would use the throttle axis, so it would let you have, basically, cruise control. letting you not have to hold forward. But the stick's movements for throttle would override the slider, so you could hop in and use it at a moments notice.

It's a little more of a fighter and less general-purpose than the Cobra, while being more general-purpose and less of a fighter than the Viper MkIII. It's a sidegrade rather than a straight upgrade.

>>153125395
They're just model numbers. A higher number in the ship's name doesn't mean better. Even higher price doesn't necessarily mean better.

The Type 6 is a freighter. It's a completely different class of ship than the Cobra or Viper. It pretty much can't fight at all.

I just tried to watch Star Citizen's top twitch streamer and it was the most autistic thing I've ever seen in my entire life, is that what the community is? Every minute or so a CGI xenomorph blocks the screen while he pulls out a plastic gun to shoot at it. I never got to see anything happen or any gameplay demonstrated because he constantly stops everything to make nonsense chatter that no one on earth could ever find funny, or to talk about his fucking giveaways or citizencon or anything he sees in chat, all of which he stops for. This guy would starve to death on a trip to a grocery store across the road from him.
>>
>>153126427

The next step up in general-purpose ships after the Cobra is the Asp.

Alternatively you could get a freighter and a fighter (eg: Type 6 and Diamondback Scout) but you'd have to switch between them depending on what you want to do.

Also the Asp is a better freighter than the Type 6 due to its size so once you have one the T-6 is obsolete.

Trading pretty much prints money if you've found a good trade route. With 500 cargo a loop that averages 3K profit/ton of cargo space means 1.5mil per loop.

Abusing relogging and stacking long range haulage and planet assault/massacre missions for the same target currently makes credits faster but you know Ftroop didn't intend for that so who knows how many more patches those will remain viable for.

Look in your right-hand panel.

Rep and rank are completely separate things. Your rank goes up from successfully completing missions given out by factions affiliated with that superpower, which you can see in the missions list at stations.

Prepare for a real slog if you're going for Corvette/Cutter though.
>>
>>153128803
Only in the very middle of the Revel and York for the Starfarer, only in very large slots for the Constellation. Takes a little bit of walking around the pad to find the spots.

>>153129351

It means you have jackshit for a reputation in the federation but you're up for promotion to the first navy rank (Recruit). You just need to find a naval ascension mission from a federation faction and complete it.

You can continue doing other missions for the feds if you don't see an ascension mission right away. They still count towards your next rank after Recruit.

>Also: Cutter or Corvette? The Cutter is sexier...

The cutter is the best and most well-defended freighter in the game.

I know they don't describe as a freighter but that's all it's good for. FDev's big idea for it is supposed to be "boom and zoom" large ship combat but that doesn't actually exist in the game because of shields and because the weapons that exist don't well support that style of combat at all.

It's also less maneuverable than a Type-9 and drifts for centuries, which makes it very unpleasant to fly.

>i'm assuming they then pick up my scattered cargo and turn it in?

You don't scatter cargo if you're destroyed. It blows up with you.

You only dump cargo if your cargo hatch malfunctions or gets hit by a hatch breaker limpet, and even then it's only a few canisters each time.

Nobody blockades a community goal to pirate the goods for themselves because it's so horribly less efficient than just taking your own freighter and doing it legally. Literally the only reason anyone does it is for the griefboner.

Plus anyone flying something like an FDL or 'vette already has cash and gives zero fucks about the rewards from the CG.

They fuck external modules pretty hard now, so all your utilities and hardpoints probably blew up. Also be careful of being hit from the rear because they hit drives hard too.

>>153132131
Pretty much the same as any other multiplayer game. Seal-clubbing sidewinders in the starter systems, a full wing of FDLs ganking a single guy in a type 6, camping community goals just to blow up trade ships, killing long-exploration ships as they come back to the bubble, UA bombing stations, etc... Some of them are even autistic enough to take a combat ship with shitty jump range all the way out to popular distant exploration spots (eg: Sagittarius A*, Beagle Point) just to gank explorers as they come by.

Stay the fuck away from System Authority Anacondas if they've taken any damage.

They usually have a huge plasma accelerator mounted and it can fire randomly if it's malfunctioning.

And guess what's pointed directly at your face while they're scanning you.

Energy field wasn't even in the original design, that was a CIG thing they added because they thought it looked cool for the trailer. It was supposed to have little flaps that angled themselves to direct the thrust/amount (something like that).

The Titan is a pretty solid higher cost but still sorta entry level ship, I'll give you that. It can run cargo and fight a bit and it's got a tiny bit of living space with a bed for logging out.

Would be nice if they would let people decorate that area in the Titans that have it, as well as maybe the 300 series, using the same sorta system we have in the hangars and other ship components.

There's a bunch of those mostly by Blohm and Voss, but their observer was actually successful and liked.

There's a lot of stupid shit from the war but this one, as silly as it looks was kinda good.

Another example of an asymmetric plane would be the italian Folgore. Not all that extreme but one of its wings is slightly longer to cope with the moment the propeller generates.

Either way, I'm sure there'd be some way to make it work, especially given that that it's just a game.

Redeemer is a big-ish ship that they haven't started yet, there is no way that they can get it done before Christmas while they are working on so many other ships. Foundry 42, which traditionally handles the Aegis ships AFAIK, will be busy polishing the Vanduul fleet.

>>153119619

>There were better applicants

There were ships with better exteriors, most notably the Boomslang. But the interiors of other ships were badly designed, badly executed and completely unfinished. The Redeemer interior is fantastic considering the shape it has to work with.

The exterior needs work but it is not unsalvageable. Replace the engines, straighten the tail, and tweak the lower turret a bit That's really it.

Honestly, it's correct that Star Citizen has a bigger scope, i.e. a single player campaign and mo-cap, orchestral score and celebrity voice acting. But I don't see how any of those things excuse what Star Citizen currently is.

Are those upgrade prices reliable, if you select a ship on the left?

Just want to figure out how much some ships go for that aren't available at the moment out of curiosity.
>>
>>153147993
As along as the ship isn't about to become flight ready, they're accurate. Herald is currently listed at $85? but will be more like $90-$110 when it's flight ready.

On the other hand Hellion looks fun and I just discovered it.

>>153147906
>Hellion is DayZ shoot'em up in space with no economy, you know this right?
Really? That sounds fun.

I cannot see the reason why people want an economy in a space game. Freespace games didn't have them, neither did Starlancer, the game which was infinitely superior to Freelancer. Economies are just a means to allow people who enjoy grinding and having 2nd jobs online get currency. It's honestly boring and probably the people that enjoy grinding through the economy are also boring.

Like, I don't see how having toilets in your ship will add to the immersion. I personally don't find shitting interesting, and NOT seeing a toilet in my space ship will not break my immersion. I think it's crude. Yet some people who are probably boring thought that this would be very interesting and essential to immerse themselves in a simulation.

I think it boils down to what you want in a space game; combat and cool stuff, vs. toilets and boring simulation under the guise of "realism".

If what you said about Hellion being day-z with no economy is true, I'm going to pre-order it. That's essentially what Star Citizen started out to be, before the 65 million stretch goals messed everything up with feature bloat and promises.

>>
>>153148318
I'd recommend going for both SC and Hellion. Hellion will be fun for grouping with a small bunch of people or running solo at impromptu times, where as SC will eventually offer larger scale group play where economy and supply lines are involved for larger scale org play which gives oppertunity for non-combat pilots running supplys or playing as a front-line pilot or infantry for your group along with the many other roles involved inbetween and crew variance each ship.

I'll definitely be picking up Hellion when it comes out, though, I'm hyped for it too.

Can you justify the use of an economy in Star Citizen?

For example, imagine if World of Warcraft implemented the proposed Star Citizen features. Do you think that players would enjoy it, or leave the game?

>get killed by someone
>run back to your corpse
>"Sorry, you cannot respawn for 59:27 because the player-driven economy in this area means that there is a high demand for new bodies and this <spawn point> currently has low stock"
>log out and have to use a new character until your main's body is ready again

Like in EVE where you have to fly all over the place to find the cheapest stuff in the economy. It's boring. Does anyone find it immersive or fun?

Sandbox type games are more fun than games which limit you and force arbitrary grind and restrictions on you because they think it's "realism". Can you imagine people saying WoW open world PVP would be fun, if every time they died, they'd have to respawn miles away and re-buy insurance and gear and run back to the battle again, instead of just respawning for free at their local graveyard just a short distance away? Oh and also, when they died 5 times, their character would experience permadeath, and they would respawn as the child of their previous character and have to make a new bio?

"Realism" is a codeword for "not fun".

An economy is, in the simplest terms, the transaction of goods and services.

Why would you mine if not to sell your ore? Why would you haul cargo if not to turn a profit? Why would you engage in piracy if your plunder has no value? Why would a hauler hire mercenaries if their cargo is not sought by pirates?

>Like, I don't see how having toilets in your ship will add to the immersion.

Do you complain whenever you see bathrooms included in the level design of any game?

When there is a tangible penalty for death, it is more exciting and tense to put your life on the line. Without death penalties, conflicts cannot bear any real significance. Without an economy, EVE would not experience the rise and fall of player-created empires for which it is famous.

Considering that even the Constellation is slow as fuck I expect capital ships to creep along at like 100 m/s.
>>
>>153153024
This is something that concerns me. With the pace of ships like the Retaliator and Constellation, larger ships are going to be fucking KILLER to fly around. An Orion will take like 45 seconds to do a 180.
>>
>>153153137
I can see the point of limiting combat speeds for some game balance reason, but at least they should make it so large ships can be fast in cruise mode as well after some acceleration.

Did the Star Citizen guys ever nail down how weapon sizes differ from each other? Like if you have Gun A and it has an equivalent of the exact same purpose one size higher than it, what do they say its relative power increase would be?

What if giant ships act as gravity anchors that all smaller ships move relative to, effectively being as "unmoving" as a planet in SC is, for the purposes of nearby ships?

>>
>>153154401
They got M50 upgrade tokens and held onto them, now applying them to upgrade their Argos to other ships that existed when the M50 was last sold then using their [Previously available ship] to M50 upgrade to turn that Argo into an m50

Your talk of being able to just recognize people you know makes me hope the default is a webcam based interpretation of your own face. That would be great even despite all the uggos playing.

>>153154607
CR once talked about the future-future-future possibility of having a webcam track your face expressions live while talking. I don't expect this at all though, it'd be extremely dificult but they've suprised me before.

They're showing VOIP at CitCon so let's see if they mention it there.
>>
>>153154541
Now you lost me.

They buy an Argo LTI, up it to a ship that they can then up to an M50?

Just curious why they decide to list that stuff on the sales page.
>>
>>153154741

They bought a ton of Cutlass to M50 tokens when the M50 was available, because these tokens were completely free.

Now when any ship comes out with LTI, they can upgrade it to a Cutlass and then switch it to an M50.

Therefore even though the M50 is unavailable there will be a fresh wave every time a sub-$100 ship is released.
>>
>>153154741
Yes.

Non-CCU ships sell at a premium because people are willing to pay extra for a original concept ship with it's poster/model flair for it's collectors value.

If you want any ship with LTI, buy a argo and wait for the novermber sale and upgrade it then.
>>
>>153154710
I don't think it would need to do any face-identification, it would only need to track your head movement and then leave talking movement up to the sound it receives from you speaking.
>>
>>153154946
That's if you're going rust/dayz-tier.

CR would want it to be full face tracking so you can expres and read other people's emotions. or be a sociopath like me and become a better liar by putting on a warm smile

>Non-CCU ships sell at a premium because people are willing to pay extra for a original concept ship with it's poster/model flair for it's collectors value.

Really?

I have an Avenger, 315p, 325a, Sabre and Buccaneer all with LTI on my buy-back list, and a few more (Retaliator Base) without LTI.

I bought almost all of them with store credit originally, but if I bought them back with cash I would be able to trade them, right?
>>
>>153155158
Yes
>>
>>153154912
I will probably just wait, but I was just surprised to see an M50 go for almost reasonable prices.

Don't buy them back with cash.

Sell them on /r/Starcitizen_Trades and when you make a sale at profit use that to buy them back and then immediately gift it to them. You're welcome, enjoy the free money.

Are you trying to raise rep or rank?

Rep is just slow as fuck.

Rank, you have both at 100%. You need to go to a fed/imp aligned station you're allied with and refresh the mission board until one of the mission givers spawns a Federal Navy/Imperial Whatever contract, doing that mission ranks you up.

Pretty much dead due to cheap LTI tokens like the P-72 and the CCU system. You might be able to make some profit on ships that were limited in number though. Glaives go for ~$450-500, but I don't think there are many people who want one.

If you like space games and docking around for a couple hours in a broken alpha, you might as well. As the updates roll in you can update/reinstall and get a few more hours of enjoyment out of it. It's not worth it for the instant gratification, but if you're okay with playing the long game you could likely easily pull 20+hrs of enjoyment out of it before it even hits beta. Especially once they get planetary landing shit in and fix the netcode.

Why is it that I get told that I'm a retard when other people fail to understand basic logic, and when I point out flaws in Star Citizen?

Just because you sunk money in to the game, doesn't mean it's perfect. There's lots of bad design flaws in the game. Doesn't mean some of it can't be fun.

Roberts is obsessed with creating a living breathing universe, not realism and accuracy to the old games. Plus his stuff has always been lighter and funner than the elite games.

>>153163119
the game Korean Grindfest barely offers anything for cooperation so its no wonder that people get bored and "grief" as dads call it.

Theres no consequences for actions, theres no incentive to team, theres no big thing for teams to team up on....theres no territory for teams to fight over, theres no player agency anywhere in the universe.

Thats why people just go psycho in Korean Grindfest and its ftroops fucking fault for listening to dads in the first place or being lazy shitstains.

I don't think ED's multiplayer 'balance' can ever be fixed without overhauls of core mechanics.
'Security' is useless, there is basically zero punishment for dying or being a criminal other than some artificial NPC spawns that will only trouble the guy who accidentally got a bounty for shooting someone during a RES, rebuy costs are a joke.

Doesn't help when portion of the community are these tryhard autists who will club idiots in haulers with no shields/weapons/cargo and then complain when no one wants to come into Open.
'Open' in ED is like flying around null in EVE while KOS to every major alliance.

The only way to play ED is to stay in solo or group and pretend 'open' doesn't exist.

No point trying to debate the poor design of Star Citizen, when the people who know it's true get angry that someone else says it, and then instead of ignoring the comment, saying "yes I know" or providing any intelligent discussion, they simply call me a retard.

I tried playing Elite yesteday. Jesus christ it is the most soulless, emotionless, mind-numbing experience I can possibly imagine. I would call it tedious but tedium implies a degree of variation, and there is no variation in Elite. You fly from shitty identital station to shitty identical station to stare at shitty identical menu screens, all for the sake of making an arbitrary number increase. I would almost think that Ian Bell and David Braben were deliberately trying to make the most deliberatly obtuse, unfun experience as a kind of satire on capitalism. I cannot fathom the mind of a person who played this game, in any age, and thought "this is amazing!", or even, "this is fun!" I have had more fun lying in bed staring at the ceiling thinking about how horribly, hideously bored I am than I have had playing Elite.

No, I, and the other anon, are using it as challenges to people we find. The put PvP in the game so that players can find enjoyment fighting eachother in various ships and kits. PvP is fun to me, so I go to a place of high population density to increase the chances of fighting players. I fight, they lose. Simple as that. Once again, if death wasn't intended gameplay through the means of PvP combat, it wouldn't be here.

How is it "perfect PvP"? It relies on an imbalance of power, of catching someone unawares, being overpowered specifically to kill them before they have a chance to retaliate. It may be PvP, but it's called griefing.

I know that poster fits the stereotype you work yourself into a 1984 style daily hate against, but so what? There are probably lots of people in these threads who think like that. Screaming "DAD! YOU'RE A DAD!" at them just makes you look like a lazy memer.

I guess the difference is I don't blame "dads" for the development not going the way I want, I think people here just scapegoat them because it is easy and makes everything into a simple narrative. In reality, the game is made by the (grand)daddy of them all.

You're half right. Braben is certainly the prime culprit in all the unarguably bad design in Elite but the hardcore dads who support everything they do because it's exactly like a 30 year old game enable Ftroop to continue nerfing fun because that's they're core demographic.

Ftroop are the degenerates and the Dads are enablers.

I would actually like to find a place to discuss Star Citizen that isn't an echo chamber, but the fact is there isn't much to discuss. We are absolutely powerless, and nothing you or I or anyone else says or does here or anywhere on the internet or off it will make a solitary whit of difference.

I know you're just meming at me but I was talking about the original Elite, or more specifically Oolite, which I tried because I wanted to play a space game and some of the mods looked fun.

And they are, but the game they modify is barely even a game at all. I was traveling to a station and it took me several minutes of real time to get there. No music, no sound, no animation, no other spaceships, just sitting and watching a tiny imaginary platonic solid slightly increase in size. Is this what playing the original game in 1984 was like? No wonder the playerbase is what it is, you have to have a critical defect of imagination to find this entertaining.

Even if it's a war you're going to end up in trouble if you decide to vaporise traders for the sake of it. You're welcome to do so, it wouldn't be a decent open world otherwise, but you're only taking advantage of the fact that the devs were too incompetent to put proper disincentivising measures in.

It actually sounds like you're the one with a critical defect of imagination.

I was told to try E:D if I liked Euro Truck Simulator but thought it should be in space.
And that's clearly what it is.

I don't sit and stare at the screen as it's moving thrugh space though, I switch screens and read the news or shitpost on norwegian underwater basketweaving forums. I can tell by audio cues when I'm nearing my destination, and switch back.

The glorious Reclaimer has so much forward firepower.

Like jesus fuck what size utlity hardpoint would the claw be, size-9?

Oh it's worse than that. Look for some forumdad reminiscing about playing the original Elite and with a 100% certainty, they'll start bringing up shit that wasn't in the original game like gravitational assisted maneuvers and aerobreaking orbits to dock without fuel and have actual memories of doing that in the game.

I remember one of them talking about their favorite Elite mission line and it turned out to be half the plot to Wing Commander 3 that his brain had misplaced.

So how would we get out of those things again after that masterplan?

Guys stop memeing each other OK?

>>153167126
if any of these fucking games would include auto-pilot ffs i would enjoy trading, even in mulitplayer because i wouldnt mind the risk of pirates


>>153167350
dad, no one wants to destroy space truck simulator, but let everyone have auto-pilot and play in open, you should have to risk your trade route being hijacked by pirates

Whichever one of you isn't baiting, please stop responding to the other person.

>estrogen-driven position
What does this even mean?
And I didn't say i didn't want you to stop. I do want you to stop. But PvP, fun, wholesome, maybe you'll see real people out there in space, PvP, is good, and I hope it keeps getting better.
Griefing is dickish and I hate it.

I'd slip Admiral and immediately start beating him with his own stunbaton before locking him in his own cell.

People are killing other people in open out of boredom and because of the critical lack of content. The lack of reward or consequences is part of that lack of content.

EVE players call ganking "content creation". The funny thing is that dads hate EVE but don't understand that the reason it became that way is because it was the same kind of contentless void ED was. Any further attempt at fixing the problem without recognizing it will continue to backfire horribly.

And that's why I hope the devs address this issue. They need to balance and fix PvP in such a way that there are rewards and content to be gained and it deincentivizes griefing.

Until then I'm gonna solo some more buckets of shit to the community event.

>you have to have a critical defect of imagination to find this entertaining.

Actually we, the dads, use our imagination to make it fun

you're the one with a defect and should look for another game

Dunno mang, the plan with becomming part of the crew and then salvaging it or just straight up driving it into a star/his respawned Idris. Sounded more fun.
