>>153221489
Wait a bit, once 3.0 comes out, or Squadron 42, it'll be worth your money hands-down. If you want to get in early, you missed the cutoff to get Star Citizen and Squadron 42 in a single package, but you can still buy it for pretty cheap compared to what it'll be on release (which should be $60 for either).

They're $45 for access to Star Citizen (The Persistent Universe.) Squadron 42 costs an extra $15. Or vice versa, if you buy the Squadron 42 package first instead.

I got to say one thing I much prefer about SC is the way FTL works. The jump points feel like they give more structure to the play area.

In ED you can jump from anywhere in a system to any star system in range. Seems like it would be hard to hold an empire together when someone could, at any time, shit out a warfleet above your capital. The best I can think of is that maybe it's a kind of MAD situation.

ATTENTION LAZIES AND JEWFULMEN

I have discovered it is possible to run the Crusader map without any other players, GREATLY improving performance. I just saw 57 fps for the first time in probably a year on this game, using my haggard GTX 670, though it was brief.
If you are on a potato like mine and just want to see all the content without mysteriously exploding or crashing give it a shot.

this is an old trick that will be familiar to anyone who used to mess around in the old test map before AC came out.
WHAT YOU MUST DO: go into StarCitizen/Public/Data/Levels and find the Crusader_DFM folder in /DogFightModule. drag it back to /Levels. now give HangarApp some other name likerealHangarApp or oldHangarApp, whatever you need to remember it as the original. Then change the name of Crusader_DFM to HangarApp.

Then all you have to do is jump in game, but instead of clicking on Universe, hit Go To Hangar. It spawned me on Grimhex, alone in my own instance. Not really sure why it chose here,; I have no crime rep or anything and have yet to see the station, so I don't mind.

Yes, actually, Vanduul love edges. More specifically they love blades. They put blades on their ships. They carry around unique personally-crafted daggers. They're all about close combat because it's EXTRA glorious. Their entire culture revolves around being so edgy you become an edgelord and build your own Kingship.

That ship is intended to do pretty much one thing: Launch boarding craft.

>>
I've been out of the SC news for so long, I'm sorry if I'm asking tired questions. I just know about the major highlights on RSI site, cargo and fps stances and that.

Have they gone into detail over the equip able ship parts? I remember the pipeline info from before but I figure the ships have far more components planned up now.
The original design plan with the damage model was how every single fitted module could be damaged or blasted out entirely if they take hits right on a ships model, that's still in right? Do the ships have to go through more redesigns to fill all these items under their skins?
Have they talked about how they'll implement a police, crime & law system yet, if any?
The ships are all still going design work aren't they, after seeing the Mustang Beta interior there's no way the Origin line is done. That fold out mattress cannot compete with a beta's flying apartment for "luxury".

Last questions for the people playing: the ship lines are following game trends aren't they, which ship line are the tanky types the quick types and the glass cannons?
Again sorry if asking tired questions, I haven't been here since Avenger penguin jokes were still happening.

the components are pretty much the same except they come in small, medium, large, and capital class. You can have multiple small ones for example

there is basic crime and law in the PU. If you attack someone who isn't wanted you get criminal status and security will attack you. You can remove it by hacking a terminal at the security post lol

So. Smartguy here, who thought he had tricked his way into a solo mode for Crusader. It appears that the instance streaming we all thought was a distant hope is alive and working in the game as we know it; this was apparent as soon as I set foot outside Grimhex. Hangar mode not being set up for instance streaming I found myself in a wonky skyboxed Yela with a half-loaded GH external, landing pads missing textures and some being completely invisible, with REPLACE ME bubbles everywhere. the tethers were likewise not present. I couldn't even summon a ship, as it was being called to a place that apparently does not exist in the GH instance. it told me it was calling it, and that it was on the pad, but no ship arrived.

the skybox afforded an interesting view though; this is Yela with some light. The webm starts centered on GH from way above, you'll notice the tethers and all obvious markings are absent. what we see behind Yela? not a clue.

So, I can kinda understand what the Federation and Empire stand for.

>Feds

Space rome. Lots of social "Laws" that aren't really laws, but they're so socially adhered to they're almost "Enforced" by peers. (Drug use isn't outlawed, but going overboard with it is seen a super dishonorable) Also, able to "Sign up" to be a slave as if it was a military contract and in exchange, you'll get your debt wiped.

But, what's the Alliance about?

the alliance is more or less an assembly of very different and diverse independent governments aligned for mutual profit and defense. it exists to foster cooperation between these systems and further guarantee the independence of free systems outside its direct sway.

there isn't any single thing the alliance is "about" since it's just a loose collection of independent systems with a shared military.

besides maybe that they hate the two superpowers

>>153232869
It kind of is.

If you pledge to Hudson, expansion systems will have you go to Military Strike Zones, while ALD (Empress of the Empire) will have you do Crime Sweeps.

Military Strike Zones are literally just Hudson kicking the other guys out of that system.

Crime Sweeps are literally ALD imposing the Empire's "Moral code" on that system.

I think all the ship suffers from is being a little too small for what it is trying to be. If it was big enough to not have a joke caro hold and have a passage between the two compartment that worked in both orientation I think many other problems could be resolved. I.e. letting the player go back in the vertical position in zero g. Other issues are easy fixes that will get implemented eventually, like things getting toughened up. But the one thing that it should really do based on its design it being able to eject the whole front compartment, many ships have some serious survivability problems that I don't think cig will recognize until people are pissed about being stuck trying to get out of their burning avenger.

Honestly? Narrative.

I was extreamly abused as a kid, and with that came never having any real entertainment. This caused me to spend a shit load of time just (I guess you'd call it roaming?) my own head. My imagination is fucking wild sometimes.

Right now, I'm a detective hunting down an old frenemy that went rogue. I'm just taking diffrent missions from random stations and following the trail. I only move from one system to another when I find a trade mission worth 400K or more. At the end of the story, I'll likely just take an Assassination mission and finish the story in my head when either I or the target dies.

I once spent a solid month and a half just flying around in supercruise thinking that I was "The Protector of Lave." Anyone that came in with a bounty got a quick multicannon to the face. Seeing trader NPCs get interdicted and then trying to make it to their low-wake in time was fun as hell.

The same exact thing happened to me.

I replaced the folders and fired the game up again and when I loaded in to Crusader it spawned me in Grim Hex again, without a wanted level.

The game thought I had a wanted level though, because I got the "hack the terminal" mission and Crusader Security kept trying to take a piece of my asshole every time I tried to land at a CryAstro.

I think it went away on its own after a while though.

I think the game would have been better off if they went in to the ship design with a little more parody with their engineering.
I think this is something that star trek dose very well, most star ships have specific parts that are consistent in implementation but also and more importantly visibly part of the interior and exterior design of the ship.

I think what ever is the main part of the ship that is made of explodeium should be a part that can be ejected from the ship in a emergency event like a warp core. This could be a good compromise for buying time on ships that don't have ejector seats or have excape pods that are in bad spots.

>>153236903
>At your age I was making slightly less than that

I don't know why hearing how bad someone else had it at my age makes me feel better, but it really does.

After college didn't really work out for me, I didn't know if I had already fucked my life up or not.

I went in thinking I had to go to college because it was "The thing to do." I left thinking that I didn't even know what I was going to college for in the first place.

Now I'm 20K in debt and having to pay $200 a month to keep the government off my ass about it.

So I'm thinking of buying the base E:D game on Steam and maybe Horizons later if I like it enough. There seem to be some old posts about Horizons being listed as a separate game, but it now shows as a season pass thing, so I guess that information is outdated.

My question is: Is there a ship specialized in exploring that I can use to zip around and avoid trouble for the most part? Or if not, is there a multipurpose ship that can handle a fight, but is also suitable for exploring?

I'm going to buy Horizons right now.

Asp Explorer.

It's a multipurpose ship that also has very long jump range.

Cobra MkIII earlier on is a cheap multipurpose that also has decent but not amazing jump range, but also has extremely fast boost speed in realspace.

Let's talk planets /scg/.

The planet in the gamescom demo was 2000 km in diameter. That means the surface area of such a planet is 12,566,370 Square Kilometers. For you burgers, that's 4,851,902 Square Miles.

That's huge. How huge?

The United States covers only 3,800,000 square miles. That means the physical planetary surface in the gamescom demo was larger that the ENTIRE United States by nearly a million square miles. It's ALL physically there to interact with, to drive around on, to fight over and to explore.

And we have a single autistic German to thank for it. Hitler was right I'll never doubt the master race again.

DBS is more of a fighter rather than multipurpose, and it's a pretty good fighter at that. It happens to also have good jump range, which most fighters don't.

technically, yes. But when you do happen across someone completely unscripted, which already happens a fair bit in SC because there's only a few POI, and will be happening a lot more in the future, especially once players are encouraged to find each other, it's gonna be a fucking blast.

Until they add shit to do over all that area it means as much as Elite's planets.

But what makes Elite so compelling isn’t so much about the game as the experience. It’s the tinkering with and the taking out of a performance car for a Sunday drive, not to rack up more miles, nor to break any speed limits, but to just feel the growl of the engine and the wind comb through what’s left of your hair. To remember those carefree days arched over a BBC Micro or blinking angrily into a Lenslok and to forget for a short while that you have to make 357 people redundant in the morning. Elite is a hermetically-sealed escape capsule and it’s the best there is. Hell, you could fire the game up and just sit there on a launch pad and the sounds are enough to carry you away, so strong is your ship’s presence and so absorbing are the station surroundings.

Taking off, tearing through the station entrance a little too fast and just missing a Python, angling for the next jump, scooping fuel from a blazing sun, spinning the camera around your ship to catch its best profile, starting a fight just for the hell of it, seeing smok rise from the command console, hearing the screen crack and precious oxygen escaping into space and landing back at base with seconds to spare – these are the moments that make Elite essential. Trading, missions, mining – not so much. But it’s ok, we’re not going anywhere.

The alliance itself did little with the thargoids. The vaccine was technically sourced by just one of the Alioth corporations.

The Thargoid Warship you get for delivering it is kinda mediocre (worse by far than say an Imperial Explorer) if not for a bug that lets you stick like 65 thousand tons of shit onto it, thanks braben. Also not a capital ship

At the end of the last frontier the newspapers are listing Ally to The Aliens as one of Duval's titles and its explicitly mentioned both the Empire and Federation is getting cozy with the bugs. They are back big time and peaceful.

But its a good thing they are retconning that.

I feel like a fucking champ. I spent a long time looking for an A & B trading run out in the boonies and I finally found one.

Oh and MY MAN. When I run the Missions/Goods to Point B, I get Missions from Point B to Haul back to Point A.

It's such a Rinse and Wash experience I've never been this fucking excited over a space game in a while.

You guys told me to keep it together and it's all finally paid off. Love you.

FUCK THE VISION.

Uh i'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to stop using this exploit which is clearly not intended to be present in the game.

If you aren't willing to play the game as it was intended you shouldn't really be playing at all. Not only is it unfair to other players, but you are ruining your own experience of this game.

Please tell me the system names so I can report this to the devs so they can fix this issue, otherwise I will unfortunately be forced to report you for taking advantage of this exploit.

What kind of non-combat jobs would you want to do in SC to earn money? What kind would you do that don't necessarily involve flying or working on ships?

I kinda hope I could get a job like working on a space station and hailing ships and allowing them to land at so and so landing pad or docking bay. Also Chris has mentioned farming. That sounds kinda cool, like working on a space ranch/farm.

>>153249587
taking parts off of ships is confirmed, so is doing repair aboard them. It's basic slavaging: using some hand held tools CIG makes for small time salvage by taking small components and guns, or the materials they're made of. "Manual labor" implies more than a simple game mechanic, but it'll be doable. Of course we'll have to wait and see how it's implemented, but that's the case with everything. Our goals in the game adapt to how CIG makes it.

NMS wasn't and wouldn't be the same. The devs in that game shown a game demo, and it was proven to be hand crafted for the sake of showing it off, and then marketed as a complete package, didn't have almost all of it, and then complete silence from the devs. With how open CIG are and their iterative process with players playtesting and helping them, I think that situation is essentially impossible at this rate.

Retaliator would be able to be solo'ed if you hire turret operators that are NPCs. Not many want to do that. If friends wanted to get together and fully crew it with real players, it's not impossible. It's stupid, but with the zoning system it can happen with no issue.

it's really only a question of how wrecks will be spawned in the world.

I find it hard to believe that players would be able to rip parts off of ships that are still functioning and being flown. Maybe taking ships and going all chop shop will work, but you can't currently put stuff on ships you don't spawn, so it's harder to imagine for me, I guess.

For wrecks made from battle, I get the feeling only larger ships will function in that way. And even then you'll need to have a spawning time for the wreck, which would be hidden by large explosions of the ships death.

you can do more than just man a turret. There's power level balancing and shield management, having people that are good at working together can make it much harder for ships to take down their defenses as they shift the shields to whatever side enemies are attacking from, and rebalancing your power for whatever you need at the time.

Not to mention scanners letting you see other players before they can detect you, and the fact that they've confirmed that ship repair will happen.

Since boarding requires a ship to be completely still, I always imagine some kind of E-war to be needed so that the maneuvering thrusters are overridden to stop people from just rotating after their engines were rekt. This way they can be put to a halt completely so that the ships can connect.

Although i would just shoot an RPG into the boarding craft as soon as the door opened.

Not every system is going to be as content dense as Stanton. They can whip up planets quick with their planetary tools, and even systems that are populated can just use the "We don't like strangers!" bit to stop people from flying around until they find the time to finish more landing zones.

They can definitely finish 80+ systems if a majority of them are just empty planets, asteroids, and procedurally generated points of interest (eg Starfarer wreck or pirate base).
>>
>>153253139
Apparently it's a combination. They can use procedural generation to pump out a planet then they comb the planet adding things to it and sculpting individual spots they want to be special.

At least that's what I gathered from the Brian Chambers interview.
>>
>>153253139
The difference is it won't just be procgen, unlike E:D and NMS.
>>
What would be a comfier planet to settle on? One where it's like Earth with many biomes or single biome desert worlds like Tattooine?

How about settling on a moon and creating a little moonbase settlement. It'd be kinda comfy being in a little hab and looking out the window at the airless landscape that could kill you.
>>
>>153253403

then it wont take minutes, programming isnt magic
>>
>>153253519
>>
>>153253519
That's not what I mean. I mean there will probably be planets that are entirely created with procgen for the purpose of filling out the universe, but there will also be handcrafted places like ArcCorp or most of Stanton.
>>
>>153253519

You don't even have to know programming when you have a toolset made for this specific purpose
>>
>>153253519
Procedurally generated in minutes, then gone over by artists, modelers, and programmers to make sure everything is up to spec.

Anon(s), almost every system in SC has at the very least 1 landing zone. These landing zones are unique to the planet and are the handcrafted bits they talk about. You can't just make a single set of objects and place them on every single planet and call it a landing zone. Given how long it took them to make the only landing zone we have, there's just no fucking way they'd be able to make all of that shit before 2018. They'd need to hire a whole shit load of extra people to make that happen in that timeframe. They can procgen a planet at the click of a button, I don't disagree with that at all, but the points of interest are vast.
>>
>>153254587
Also forgot: they need to make the entirety of the alien fleets + animations for their characters.
>>
>>153254587
A lot of them are going to be prefab, maybe expanded later with player contribution.

Also the Germans made procgen in two weeks with one person. They just need to use some more reich magic and it'll be good.
>>
>>153254587

People who want instant should go play NMS. Elite Dangerous is NOT the game for you. Instant this instant that ,, bunch spoilt brats like most of Western society. Oh God forgive we have to actually put effort in to get something...

Trouble with ED is it has in a liberal namby pamby way actually tried to accomodate every type of player instead of just going its own way and really sticking up for something. Game has been pulled apart and nutered trying to please everyone probably because the bean counters say there is more cash to be made that way, a fact I disagree with as you only have to look at Eve.

I wish someone would make a game that would keep the type of players who think insta travel is a good thing away because the gameplay was an anathema to them, i.e. they hated it soo much they don't come near it.

It is trying to please everyone and I predict in the end it is never going to live up to what it could be. And yes I have travelled to Sag A in the game and oh my f%6k was it a really really long way.

go play Candy Crush you boring unimaginative statuswads...

his main complaint is that it takes forever to go anywhere and do anything. That to me sounds like he's just sitting there waiting, how is that "putting in effort"?
>>
>>153256753
Go play something else less time demanding then and stop trying to spoil my fun. There is loads and loads of insta gratification hit stuff out there and stuff for serious gamers is becoming less and less. Your type is killing my types games, i.e. games are becoming shallower and shallower to accomodate casual.

I know I sound hostile to you and that is because I am hostile to your type of gameply, I have seen it slowly but surely erode into the more considered invloved, deep type of gameplay over the years and desu I am utterly sick of it.

Put your throttle at the absolute lowest point still within the blue indicator. You will almost never overshoot.

I'm looking at the ships (since really in a space sim, the only thing I really care about is how cool of a ship I can get) and I'm not seeing much that I really like the look of. I tend to go with ships that I can carry a fair amount of cargo in, but won't be completely useless should I be happened upon by the more unsavory elements in the 'verse.

The Diamonback Explorer is interesting looking, but I feel that it simply won't have much room for me to store things, is there any ship that has a nice balance of cargo capacity and the ability to defend itself?
>>
>>153258694
Asp explorer is a great multipurpose
>>
>>153258831
but it's a pentagon.
>>
>>153258694
For me it comes down to my love of old scifi and Star Wars.

I feel like Star Citizen has what I want ot of a space game. It's got the ship designs I like, roleplay elements, multicrew etc.

Elite looks good but it's a bit sterile in comparison imo. Feels too clean and devoid of that lived in, worn and dirty vibe.

These are my opinions and personal preferences though.

i had the explorer for a long time and i really enjoyed it. I remember that it had a somewhad good cargo capacity and nice firepower

First, LTI only accounts for the ship, you'll be able to buy better insurance than the LTI stuff in game, namely stuff that will cover the weapons you want to put on the thing, along with cargo and other moduels you'll put in. This will cost a fuck ton the more expensive your ship. Someone with an Idris will have a stock thing and basically not be able to do anything with it until they make a lot of money with sopmething that's easier to crew and easier to insure, unless they want to forego any kind of insurance.

Secondly any amount of money you can buy it capped at an amount per day, so you can't just buy yourself millions of credits, you can get like 25,000, which might buy you a stock Aurora and some better weapons for it.

Thirdly, win what? The idea is to make a game for you to do things, one of those things is getting newer and better ships. I could just go and buy the ship I want right now, what with my actual job and everything, but I won't because I want to start off in my shitty Aurora and work my way up to it. That is fun for me. Fun for them is buying all the ships with real money and then basically having no real quantifiable goal.

Will the people that spent more money to get the game developed have more perks over those that didn't? Yes. I think they probably should, after all they're basically investors, and what they get in the game when it comes out is their reward for that investment. Will it mean that the lowly spacer that starts off at the begining will never get multi crew ships? No. They've said you can get a Constellation in a week if you want it.
>>
>>153260278
LTI doesn't affect ship performance.
Many here can attest that a skillful pilot can take down a Hornet in an Aurora LN, which is less than 1/3 of the price.

why not? Elder Scrolls has been doing it for three games, as to many MMOs. the lore even supports prefabricated locations that are more or less identical, using the same parts in different configurations. Hurston and Crusader will be made from the same assets as ArcCorp, for example.

Not him, but me also being a repair enthusiast, I can already see the Crucible being a center of command for small fleet tactics. Say a group of 12 - 15 people from an org are grouped together to do some dogfighting somewhere. With a crucible, you can go do your battle, and then come back for repairs and fuel. If my autism is correct, we'd be able to swap out the turret for something like a tractor beam, so salvaging might be possible, even if it means the players hopping out of their ships, grabbing kits from the crucible, and then floating around collecting guns and shit from the dead ships while theirs get repaired.

This idea is complex, but oh FUCK it makes me moist.

I'm kind of curious as to how repair and everything will work.

can I, in some way, become known as a very good repair man? maybe I can outfit my ship with better repairing drones or what have you than others?

I imagine a time when the area around my ship becomes something of a DMZ as pirates and Empire shits play nice so as to not draw the ire of me, and not get any more repairs, or the other people around them, as I will leave and tell them all to fuck off.

It won't happen of course, as any pirate that needs to come crawling to me for repairs likely wouldn't care all that much about losing his ship or life at the time, and any pirate that has a large enough vested interest in his ship will more than likely have a few friends and it would therefor simply just be better for them to attack me and attempt to take my ship.

The thing also looks like you can attach a big fucking cargo container to it and just make it a hauler too,

no, it's the difference between procedural generation giving you alien outpost #24213 that looks like all the ones before it, and hand crafting using the same assets that gives for example Skyrim a typical mineshaft that has a hole at the end of one tunnel that breaks into a draugr tomb, telling a different story with the same parts.

in SC, the four Stanton planets are going to use the same artkit. but they're going to heavily tweak it for each place. Crusader is made of latticework platforms floating in a pink and green cloud, and it will look completely different from ArcCorp, the same with Hurston, which while being built much like ArcCorp and using the same lego blocks, will be far dirtier and grimier, covered in red earth and rust, with dark brown sand clouds above.

that much work probably won't go into differentiating the prefabs on distant colony worldsd, but the mere fact that they'll be sitting in different atmospheres under different suns will make them distinct enough.

No, everything was locked down after it was generated, it wasn't like a roguelike where the map is different every game.

Also the main story dungeons were hand-crafted, and then cut up to create the normal ones. Not just hallways and walls, pretty big pieces, like city block sized. The later games were way more 'procedural' in that regard.
>>
>>153272759
>No, everything was locked down after it was generated

sure but Morrowind was the first "real" TES game, the lore and even the races hadn't reached a point of basic consistency until that point.

anyway we'll probably see a Daggerfall-like ratio of procedural to hand placed in Star Citizen. it's a pretty good analogy actually; designed and thematic populated locations where all the important stuff happens separated by vast reaches of algorithmic land/space that is almost literally impossible to actually traverse without a fast travel mechanic, but is still full of cool random stuff to explore for the adventurous.

Nah, you are thinking of Daggerfall, thats when the lore really became the TES we recognise today. The weird shit came directly afterwards with Battlespire and Redguard, but that is only a small part of the lore, mostly ignored by the main games anyway.

What we will get will be closer to Skyrim's level of procedural than Daggerfall's anyway. Expect all the landing zones to entirely be hand crafted, unlike Daggerfall where towns are just built out procedurally on the same grid system.

>>153277836
You know, given that they're PPSHs, I could've told you that before even looking into why they made this thing.

In short they probably should've just strapped a bunch more Skvaks on the Tupolev instead of trying this type of bullshit. But I guess they produced too many PPSHs.

Two things are wrong here.

1 players shouldnt be that high on the agro list.

2 the number of security forces are insane. Should there really be two vipers an eagle an one annie in every batch of security multiplied 3 or 4 times?

I should clarify, when I speak of NV progression I mean galaxy spanning. ED is hurt by having AI that scales to the player instead of zones that are safe, relatively safe, dangerous, etc.
>>
>>153278864
Because the current guy is the Imperator, not strictly an Emperor, and is elected rather than born into the role. The Messer dynasty was fuckin' nuts, so it sticks out in people's minds.

New E:D player here on Xbox One. Space exploration sims have been my guilty pleasure since WC Privateer and E:D has had me hooked all weekend.

I tried to talk about the game in other places, but I was instantly labeled as space hitler for playing in solo and exploring instead of devoting myself to a power in 5 minutes and sperging out over leaderboard rankings.

Is solo mode really that bad?

this thread is staunchly against doing anything in ed that you might enjoy

if you played the original privateer you will probably enjoy ED, just read the thread for stuff that will help you with ranks which is ultragrind that can be made much easier

I bought 3 weeks ago, loving the fuck out of it. No game hooked me this hard in the past five years. Wont buy horizons tho

I estimate it will take around 400hrs for me to get bored with ED. If anything its comfy as fuck

People may not want you to deliver shit to the station. They have no way of stopping you because you're hiding away in glorified offline mode. You are affecting them and they can't do shit. That's what I mean and that's what the forum dads cannot seem to understand.

You guys are aware that fuel and explosives are different things, right? Like, people usually specifically choose fuels that don't explode on impact. That's a big consideration.

And if we're dealing with Fusion drives that fuel is Hydrogen, which isn't going off unless you hold a fire to it and even then isn't that explosive.
