I was talking about the original Elite. I've never played ED.

ED actually looks fun, even if there's nothing to actually do in it the sound and aesthetic design is amazing. I can understand that. I can't understand staring at a screen with precisely two colors flying from one identical menu screen to another identical menu screen and finding it entertaining. I've played Pong and I've played SpaceWar! and I've played original Atari 2600 games and I've enjoyed them all. I have never enjoyed Elite and I cannot imagine or even imagine imagining that I ever could or potentially will, ever.

This could be very tricky to do but potentially possible if we would be able to hunt down people from specific organizations. I don't even have to look to assume there's some MLP org out there.

I would greatly enjoy constantly hunting down the same few people. Especially if they had criminal status and couldn't do shit about it until they payed someone else to fight me.

That sucks. I was hoping an LN would at least not be *strictly* outclassed at fighting - just one tiny aspect that it's better at even if it's still overall worse than real fighters by a significant margin. The dimensions given compared to similarly-armed ships gave me a bit of hope but I guess it's deceptive since they mostly have small parts that stick out to give them those dimensions, whereas the aurora fills its full space.

The LN has a lot of firepower (especially for a starter). 2 S2 gimbals and 2 S2 fixed + plyons is good enough to take any fighter down. The only thing is that you have to be bretty gud if you want to dogfight with a hornet or sabre.

"Pirate bases" which are stolen imp interdictor/fed battlecruisers so they move around a lot, so "pirates" would have safe havens deep inside secspace but they'd need to have a high reputation just to know where they were.

Secspace would actually be safe, being (Wanted) would mean an APB the moment entering the system, but missions/trading wouldn't be nearly profitable. Anarchy systems on the other hand would be much more dangerous but with huge profits for goods from secspace.

The Delta might be more what you're looking for as an upgraded starter ship with small size and high firepower for that size. It's nimbler so it can make better use of whatever evasive gains you're trying to make by going small.

Of course if you want to go really small no one's stopping you from getting an M50 or Merlin and being a terrible pest.

>>153172336
All current SQ42 missions are being produced to finished standard in chronological order. December 9th is the cutoff date, any missions unfinished before then will be released as additional missions each month in 2016. Currently about 32 missions are complete that are about 19 hours worth of gameplay, but more will be finished by December 9th due to the speed of production being at an all time high right now. TL;DR: Atleast 32 missions will be released in late december followed by monthly free mission packs until it's complete.

So I bookmarked that site, and I've entered in all the stuff that my current ship has.

Now, do I just use that site to test out what it'd look like with different modules? And see what's worth buying?

I have a feeling I'm really not minmaxing power usage very well. Or my tonnage, I feel like I'm not paying enough attention to weight.

is there a way to make mad bucks in elite that does not involve you role playing intergalactic fedex? how far do you need to invest in combat before you can make millions per hour?

>>153174576
it does but having 4 dragonflys pop out of nowhere wrecks havoc in ground warfare in addition to the fire support the freelancer can already deliver.

alternatively you could make a good explorer out of a max since you can kit it with some exploration gear and a rover, which is arguably better than what the DUR would let you do with it.

Boy I cant wait for alpha 5.0 to add planetary bases. They also said the netcode should be fixed by then. Think we'll get it by 2024 or will it be pushed back again?
>>
>>153176435
>5.0
>planetary bases

I'm positive this would be immediately possible when 3.0 launches either with it or within 3.X releases, since it has: A, a place for the bases. B, (hopefully) netcode that makes playing worthwhile, C, basic land vehicles, and D, cargo (confirmed for 3.0 I think). There's no reason to not have them when we have everything they need to exist.

Also I can't even speculate what 4.0 would have. Probably economy simulation.

It's "wittle" for a reason. If you attack heavily armored ships like the corvette or something, it's shields would be hard to remove, but with constant fire from 16 S2 laser repeaters that essentially never overheat, you'll eventually get damaged enough to try and run.

The only reason I have faith is due to how consistently now, with the one exception of Star Marine (who wanted that anyway), they have demoed things and then released them to the public in the same state or better.

Thank you. That's not the original photo, which would narrow it down to fewer people at the company. I was going to just not explain myself until I realised you can simply re-post it so I do owe you an explaination; It is official. It is the Aurora. But it is not produced by RSI, they've sold the licence in-lore to another company to focus on their renewed military contract. It's basically just fluff, but the 2946 Aurora is now produced by a different company other than RSI.

If every single one of the employees gets paid 100k, then that's 35mil a year. On average they make 30 million a year. If their money stopped coming in right now, I think they'd have about a total of 3 years of development time with all employees getting 100k. Obviously this isn't the case, so it would last longer than that. And the money continues anyway, so they have that covered with no issue. I honestly think they need to hire another 100 people to work solely on PU assets desu.

I hope they at least keep some design elements from the original Aurora, and change the color scheme while they're at it. Whichever company it gets sold off to should also integrate it with its other series because this doesn't look like anything any company would make (except maybe a new one they haven't released yet)

No. Watch that part of ATV again and maybe read the transcript of the following RTV. The updated Hornet is for S42. They're not replacing the player owned Hornets. However, if you have a F7A bodykit you can apply the Mk. 2 skin to whatever Hornet you have.

No, it won't be replacing them anon. It's a ship made specifically for Sq42 and the UEE military that we will not be able to buy.

Hull mass never changes. You were just trying to install a shield generator that was too small for the ship. ie: it wasn't your old shield; it was smaller.

The idea is that a shield has to cover a volume, but since there are no solid stats for that in game they use the ship's base hull mass as a substitute.

>>153174852

The Cobra's biggest strength is its speed. You want bigger engines, stat. When you have 4A thrusters you can disengage and escape from any AI in the game. Players with tooled-up drives not so much though, at least not until you mod your own thrusters.

I'm going to live with the spooks and discover their secrets.
>“I had put my ship on automatic, bearing for Hades III, and then climbed down to the middeck. As I stepped toward the hold, I caught sight of something in the darkness. I couldn’t say it was even Human, but Humanoid at least. I had an immediate impression of a body with exposed musculature, covered in blue-hued veins. It turned to look right at me when my ship suddenly rocked. It was gone. It was a nanosecond of an encounter, but I was left with a terrible sense of presence. It was as though I’d seen something my mind couldn’t understand. The feeling never passed. I sold the ship when I got home; it didn’t feel like mine anymore.”_– Eli Thorn, Navjumper

I would think that, if one was making a system like that, that there would be areas that would have the new ships, like the planets where those companies have the biggest influence, and then the further out you go, they'll have the older shit.

Actually, we know pretty much exactly how big Stanton will be, and we can compare that to other systems pretty easily.

The process that you are describing takes some time and a lot of fuel. Right now, almost none of the ships currently flyable could make it across Stanton alone without refueling.

The Vanduul are meant to be a constant threat, pretty much everyone knows they will sack earth in S42. They are not a mysterious far away power, they are raiders that are fucking up more and more of the UEE, swallowing it up.

The aesthetic is fall of the spess roman empire, remember.

Think of this.

All of those star systems will have have: space stations, usually 1 or 2 (at the very least) landing zones, asteroid belts, and AI shit happening. Most have about 4 or 5 planets (some have way, way more than that) and some of those planets have moons.

On those planets can be many things like bases, salvage shit, all types of stuff. You would be able to visit and land on almost all of them. I don't think you comprehend the scale of this shit.

When I think of this and the many things each system will have, it's fucking huge. They made this small amount (relative to Erectile Dysfunction and One Man's Lie) because each of them will have plenty of shit to do on their planets, moons, and in space.

I really like the Aurora, it's basically the Honda Accord of the universe (cheap, reliable, millions of them on the road all the damn time).

I think that even though it gets massively overshadowed by the more expensive/powerful/fancy ships, it's still the "mascot" ship of Star Citizen. I like the way that it looks more like an actual spaceship instead of just a futuristic spaceplane like so many other ships do.

It would be cool to see "updated" versions of it in the main game though. I know that CIG has been talking about there being new "model year" versions of various ships that might be released in the future to help fund development and make the ships you see while out and about feel more dynamic (instead of 90% of the people you see being in the same three ships). It would be nice to see what direction they take the Aurora in, whether they stick with the flying box vibe or go for a sleeker look.

I'll probably keep my LN until it falls apart though, it's just too damn fun to putter around in.

Yes, but what if those resources are strained by being used elsewhere for defense?

Now you have the dilemma of "Do we pull ships that are stationed around these UEE planets that are vulnerable but so far unattacked to go defend these planets filled with pirates and criminals that are currently being raided by the Vanduul?"

There's all sorts of places you could go with it.

I posted almost the exact same message as you in the last two threads, lel. Even used the same term for her. No-one replied.

As far as I can tell, the bug involves ALL dialogue stopping, because my ship stops talking to me as well. I haven't figured out a way to get it to start again.

The missions are slightly randomised anyway I think, or at least the audio you hear from the beacons changes. I don't even know how many missions she has, I've gotten to about 5 or 6 before the dialogue starts cutting out again.

They don't persist so you are always set back to the start. Still probably the best way to grind money.

Actually I think he has a point, pirate systems only exist because they have some form of protection/obfuscation from the UEE, and their whole survival is based around being able to avoid large military engagements.

In a battle they'd probably last pretty long, in that they are great at hit and run and hiding, the tragedy would be their inability to evacuate their worlds/stations as efficiently as the UEE would when it inevitably came to that.

A CCU upgrade.
>>
>>153189134

The variants are for obvious reasons, but the Avenger Titan is basically the starter ship for you if you want to pay a few more dollarydoos than the Aurora/Mustang cost.

It's got cargo space, it's got a bed, and it's got some decent weapons for its size, so basically if you want to be able to haul cargo but have a bit more protection and firepower than the Mustang Alpha or Aurora MR give you than the Avenger is a solid bet.

The only downside is that the cargo hold is an actual cargo hold and not just a clamp, so you can't just land somewhere, latch on to a Stor-All box and go, the cargo has to be physically loaded into your hold. The upside to this is that since the hold is pressurized and climate controlled due to not being just a big metal box in space you should in theory be able to haul more interesting cargo.

No I mean what's it for that it's not OUTCLASSED AS FUCK at? It's got bad weapons for its size if you're hoping for combat. You're looking at a slightly below Legionnaire weapon loadout with less cargo space at a higher price.
>>
>>153189879
Its weapon payload is INSANE, there is no way it will be able to reliably bring all that daka to bear on a target without another system (shields, cooling, engines) giving out. Seems like a ship for reckless pilots who want to rekt shit, I can't see it really competing with the Hornet.

It's not that bad. The LN has 2xS1 and 2xS2 weapon hardpoints plus 1xS2 rocket hardpoints

The Titan has 2xS2 and 1xS3 weapons hardpoints and 2xS3 rocket hardpoints

So basically you're trading two S1 mounts for one S3 mount, and you're getting twice as many rockets that are also a size larger.

It's not that straightforward. Avenger is a little weaker in guns but significantly more powerful in missiles.

LN gets 2xS2 fixed, 2xS2 gimballed, and 1xS2 missiles. According to the size chart that will become S2-S2-S3-S3 guns with S2 missiles.

Avenger gets 2xS2 fixed, 1xS3 gimballed and 2xS3 missiles. According to the size chart that will become S2-S2-S4 guns with S3-S3 missiles.

Even if Level 18 was the norm for vanduul AI, they really aren't that good, especially if a group of 8 - 12 players were working together to fight them. The real issue comes if they have capitals like their destroyer (or frigates we have yet to see) but if it's fighters and a few of their bombers it won't be a problem for people who know how to play and work together.

OK, i understand you. I dont know excactly what i was expecting, but after that much hype, done by FD themselves, i would have hoped for at least a little bit more than just another kind of "riddle" , and after that the next, and after that the next.
It's fun once or twice, but we already did this a few times over the course of the last few days. It's getting old by now. And after those Video-Interferences during the Braben Interviews, something innovative, would have been nice.

And don't get me started on the general execution of this by FD. I was on and of the game for the majority of 13 hours today. Did not encounter anything related. Thanks for nothing.

That's it at least for me. Following this thread, or even just refreshing first page of this thread is much more informative and entertaining, than everything i experienced today in game.

Come off it.
They've close-house bug tested 2.5 with evocati.
They've PTU bug tested 2.5 with metred PTU access.
They've released 2.5 to live for general consumption/testing - it is too unstable to play 95% of the time, due to black screen of death.

nah there a tons of early access games these days

for example rogue system has monthly patches that mostly work and the cockpit interaction and comms and in-game screens work and it's made by mostly one guy

I can only speak for myself and my friends but we have had no hard crashes between four of us in several hours of playing on 2.5.0.

I would try the following:
- Latest graphics drivers etc.
- Verify game files in launcher
- Delete the USER folder
- Add USER.cfg with ONLY these lines:

Con_Restricted = 0
r_VSync = 0
r_Sharpening = 0.0
i_Mouse_Accel = 0.0
i_Mouse_Smooth = 0.0
r_MotionBlur = 0
r_DepthOfField = 0
r_ShadowBlur = 0
g_radialBlur = 0
r_HDRBrightLevel = 0
r_HDRBloomRatio = 0
hud_bobHud = 0
e_GsmCache = 1
r_SilhouettePOM = 0
r_ColorGrading = 1

Hopefully it will work better for you.

You literally just described the DBS.

Most dedicated combat ships have terrible jump range and there's no way to fix that. Even if you A-rank and engineer up the FSD it's still not great. The DBS is the one exception as it's a long-range fighter.

Start with this:
https://coriolis.io/outfit/diamondback/0pdtcFbl8das8f41b1b18180000--42590201.Iw1-kA==.CwBj4yKA

Once you have the cash you might A-rank and armor up:
https://coriolis.io/outfit/diamondback/2pataFal8das8f4272710100000020440592927.Iw1-kA==.CwBj4yKA

Also if you can get to space exploited/controlled by Li Yong-Rui ships and outfitting are 15% off there.

>>153204297

If you're going to mix thermal and kinetic, and it's usually a good idea, then kinetic should be as big as possible to overcome resistance from armor. You don't need to worry about that vs shields so you can run twin small beams and twin medium multis for a good balanced loadout.

Cannons are better at defeating heavier armor than multicannons but they are slower and harder to use.

>>153204795

>>153204118

3.0 will have Nyx and Microtech as working landing zones, and they have only shown a tiny part of Nyx.

So they are holding some stuff back.

Ship-wise this is what I am expecting in 3.0:
>Caterpillar hangar ready
>New Cutlass flight ready
>Hull A or B flight ready
>Big teaser for the Idris

>>153204356

The Cutlass right now is really solid. It is only a fraction behind the Hornet in speed/agility and has a slight edge in firepower. It is a much bigger target with lots of exposed bits but it is tough (probably too tough).

The interior is a steaming mess but the rework will hopefully fix all of that.
>>
>>153202854
>Or should I not get a viper at all?
>Is it truly hot garbage?
Viper Mk III is fine. It has no jump range cause it's supposed to be a system defence ship, but apart from that it's a pretty decent combat ship considering the cost.

It's bigger brother the Mk IV is a bit shit. It's basically a Cobra Mk III that tougher, slower, less agile and has some smaller compartments but has better hardpoint placement. The problem of course is that it can't run if shit get hairy.

The Cobra Mk III can basically outrun anything it can't fight with a a few exceptions (Imp Courier with EPTs).
>>
>>153204925
>Caterpillar hangar ready
I am READY
we might even get it earlier, hangar ready. if 3.0 is debuting cargo mechanics, well it seems they've been testing actual use mechanics on the Cat, so it might be the first only, knowing CIG ship capable of proper cargo hauling, as opposed to just pushing boxes into the local physics grid.

I wonder if we'll get any 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, or if they'll just jump straight to planets.
>>
>>153205196

cat hangar ready 2.6, flight ready with cargo 3.0
>>
>>153204925
We probably saw most of Nyx in the demo, expect it to have similar outlets as Grimhex too, probably not much else.

Microtech, or indeed any non barren planet being landable is complete conjecture. Chris said that ArcCorp probably won't be in it, but likely they don't know if you will be able to land on any planets other than Delamar yet, which is why they've moved it.
>>
Who the actual fuck thought that "hold F to exit seat" and "press F to control quantum jumps" were sensible things to bind to the same key?
>>
>>153205259
2.6 is next up with Star Marine, after that comes 3.0 directly, no more versions in between.
>>
>>153205358
Discovery scanners are only used by explorers. They basically log celestial bodies. There are a few times when they are useful for other professions (when the system you jump to doesn't have a nav beacon) but for the most part you can ignore them.
>>
Beam lasers or Pulse lasers to accompany medium Multi Cannons?
>>
>>153205441
In the gamescom demo they landed on Delamar and then on a different planet/moon where the pirate base was, so I think we might get to land on every planet in the Stanton system.
>>
>>153205442
The default keybinding for Star Citizen is just astoundingly bad. Like the shit you have to do just to get the contacts menu to work. Dwarf Fortress unironically has a more intuitive interface.
>>
>>153205259

They are skipping 2.7-2.9.

I would love to see the Cat flyable but realistically I think that the Constellation, Freelancer, Cutlass and Starfarer are enough cargo haulers to start us off with.

>>153205441

By "working landing zones" I meant areas like ArcCorp. I would be surprised if they have ships going up and down from these in 3.0 but that would be the thing that ties the last year of progress together.

>>
>>153204925

I noticed some of the tradeoffs to the Cutlass is that it's designed more for utility. I've already got the Caterpillar+Dragonfly combo so hauling/general doing shipthings isn't necessary, I'm just looking for a dogfighter.

Maybe I should wait and see what the Buccaneer sales bring at Citizencon?

Depends on your distributor. Beams have better DPS but worse DPE. That said I ran 2xC1F Beams and 2xC2F Multis on a Viper and it was basically fine, the enemy's shields are drop pretty fast anyway under 2 beams.
>>
>>153205705
ArcCorp you will never be able to fly freely around apparently, just in a strict corridor to and from the landing zones..which makes sense, but apparently that still won't be in 3.0. Or maybe they will set the germans on it and it'll get done in time. I think they deliberately didn't give specifics.
>>
>>153205442
it's better than alt-f. And it's a 1 second hold so I don't see why you are bothered by it sharing the key. And you have to turn on quantum mode to even jump.
>>
>>153205824

It makes the most sense. Roberts talked about getting the Cat sooner rather than later during Gamescon, and the discussed 3.0 separately. He didnt talk as if they were the same event.

The Cat from what we've seen is almost hangar ready, and they can at least shove it in there to make the consumers happy and sell more Cats. It doesn't need to be ready, just able to be walked around.

That still gives them the rest of the year to finish making it flyable and doing all the tractor/cargo stuff it needs to.

If the Cat isnt in the hangar in the 2.6 update, I'll chop off my foreskin and eat it live for this general

my thoughts on the cat are part wishful thinking but also partly because it's the only ship we've seen actual footage using of cargo mechanics in game. the freelancer had mockups years ago, as has the constellation, but it seems the cat has been their testbed for a lot of actual in game implementation.

If you are going to be hauling something that will have people on you ass then it might be best to just go with an asp for the jump range and have it fit with an A' distributor and thrusters to boost away from trouble.

Supposedly the Constellation is roughly the largest ship that one person could reasonably fly solo. Anything larger and you start needing npcs for things.

You dont need one but it gives you additional firepower and coverage.

Though in the PU you'll be able to hire AI to fill those roles if you dont have any friends so they can still be solo

I'm having a bitch of a time swapping things out in the Freelancer now that I'm finally trying it. Did they never went through with the old item system so you can't change things aside from weapons?

Also do ships still spawn back when you call them after they explode? I got violently ejected from a landing pad at port Olisar when attempting to take off and before I could get my bearings some mother fucker in an m50 ran into the side engine at max cruising speed. I tried repairing it but the engine doesn't come back, just the outer armor layer.

In terms of complete uselessness you're looking at the MPUV. It has no weapons and no quantum travel ability so you're basically stuck dicking around Port Olisar. It's a lot of fun to fly, don't get me wrong, there just isn't much of anything you can do with it right now.

As for clown car, probably the Khartu-Al. The thing looks goofy as fuck. Reliants take second place though, especially when a pilot switches orientation right after landing while he's still three feet off of the flight deck and tears his bottom wing off.

Guys, I made the mistake of getting an Avenger Stalker.

I can't stand the bloody thing. It's killed me five times just trying to get out of it so far, and getting into it is only slightly less frustrating, especially since it auto-stands you after you enter the bed corridor.

315p is faster but more fragile than the avenger. And you enter in through gull wing doors on the side of the ship.

I really hope that when you play Call of Duty you use RB and LB to look left and right.

>>153218329
you're not dealing with aerodynamics in space. G-forces not withstanding, it would take less thruster effort to make the craft yaw to turn than doing the standard roll+pitch motion would.

And besides, they're just not very good at control mapping, you should see the clusterfuck they gave gamepads.

>Control customization is bad
The controls work fine for almost everyone in the thread and everyone I've talked to. The one with the problem seems to be you, for wanting things to control like in Elite: Dangerous or a usual flight sim. Enjoy the (you).

Do us all a favor and remove yourself from the gene pool. Thanks in advance.

No, it means the controls are different than what YOU like.
Everyone is different.

>lol guys the controls aren't purposefully unintuitive, you can just change them anyways!

is this the kind of shilling $1500 ships gets you nowadays?

New thread where?

>>153215708

What are the missions like out there?

So can you rip off a turret mount and put a gimbal or a fixed gun position in it's place?
>>
>>153219439

I was really disappointed in the last CG at Jacques. The first one got me around 30mil with the data and rewards from one trip.

The second one only got me around 20mil with data, rewards, and selling metal.

And these 2 new ones seem to be worth fuck all.

I put two of my three AEGS Power Generators and my two AEGS coolers on my Aurora.
How long until it blows up?
