It would become the meta before it's even out. Or alternatively, if each slot can hold 2 gladiators, have 6 gladiators and 12 m50s. Now you can harass any fighters and also fuck up medium-large ships.

>>153752475
It wouldn't be six slots, each slot is one ship layout example. Bigger ships would need bigger tools, ammos and spare parts in the hangar therefore reducing the number of ships you can put in one hangar even if they fit.

All the ships in SC seem to have all this unnecessary shit hanging off of them, also most of them suffer from "space plane" design.

The ships in Elite have a much more sleek design that makes more sense. They look more believable.

>SQ42 confirmed for coming out in 2017

Aww.. :(

Source: recent video from Gamestar chef editor Michael Graf, where CR told him in an interview just that. Not a mistake either like Graf says in the comments of the video.

Not unexpected, but still.

>>153752834
I was making a comparison to the ship styles.

Star Citizens ships are more lived in and tend to be built rugged like Star Wars.

Elite has sleep futuristic stuff in it like Star Trek.

>>153752890
That's kinda what I thought. But luckily we have both games to enjoy and your opinion is just as valid as mine.

>>153753162
They're designed to be realistic and believable

SC ships look like somebody just took a bunch of different plane wings and smushed them together to make some kind of ugly space hulk.

>>153753196
SC and S42 are having separate release dates, so mentioning Star Citizen is pointless to this particular aspect of the game as a whole.

I'd argue that SC ships look like 50's sci fi, space planes with rocket pods and everything needs to be manned, while ED ships look like 80's sci fi, space shuttles which still have windows but there's remotely operated equipment.

The main thing I like about ED is that the thrusters are inside the hulls, which means that the ships can be maintained while out in space. Thrusters in engine pods hanging off wings means the ships need to land somewhere and have a spaceport maintenace crew fix it.

>>153753810
You could also EVA fix.

>>153753691
Aerodynamic shapes like triangles are a better design for doing something like entering a planets atmosphere.

Half the ships in SC would Blow up/Burn up if they tried Reentry because they have all these unnecessary extra wings and doodad shit hanging off them in every direction, slowing them down and causing drag.

You can't blame the people who DDoS the voting page so that the gay pigeon ship won, for the Avenger looking like a triangular penguin. Sorry, but as bad as the gay pigeon is, you can't blame it for that.

And as for re-used assets for a ship that pumps out military designs, that's a non-argument. I have absolutely zero problem with retalliators and buccaneers (or whatever) having re-used assets, i.e. using the same style guide.

That reminds me how I hate the lack of economic simulation in ED, goods are only available at the station producing them, if that.
Look at CMM Composites, only available at planetside factories, now CMM Composites should be cheap at the factory that produces them, 25-50% more expensive in the stations that in that system, and every arbitrary distance the price doubles until it's 10x-100x the price to buy a CMM Composite. Even Sothis Newhome station 400ly from the civilization bubble should have /some/ Magnetic Emitter Coils in it, even if it's in the station's maintenance storage bay or in some guy's private storage locker. So there'd be 2-5 tons or something in the commodity market for 1million a ton, reprisenting the player shoving a truck worth of cash for them. More or less the equivalent of the player creating their own missions "5 tons of Magnetic Emitter Coils for 5 millioncr, in 25 minutes, peddler trade rank required."

>>153762282
they could make that shit in the game when it releases, anon. Apparently that crashed starfarer scene was made in a single day per RtV with the guy who did it. It was because of the modularity of the ship parts and world controls that those kind of things. An expansion for player manufacturing would be nice, but I the Mad Max kind of planet seems to already be possible. Give it a few years and it'll be even better.

>>153762282
why would that be fun?

>>153762929
>player owned locations

It gives more power to organized players to influence the game, thus creating situations where it's more than just GMs and NPCs driving the action. It forces players to do shit, and then others have to react to it. To continue with the theme, if this happened on a lawless planet that was basically Mad Max in nature, it would be us to our own devices to do whatever the fuck we wanted to.

EVE? That's literally the only reason the game still exists.

It's not. Terra is just the latin name for Earth. Earth's official name is Earth, but some sci fi writers call it "Terra", to distinguish it from other earth-like planets, Same with calling The Moon, "Luna" to distinguish it from other moons.

Those are just the concept models.

Also, it takes a whole lot more to get a ship flight ready than a 3D model, even if the 3D model is the finished one. Not only that, but these ships are specifically made for mass cargo transportation, so it wouldn't make sense to make a ship that can't even function properly without the game mechanic it relies on.

>>153768523
evidently they don't >>153767818

>>153768490
(You)

>>153768614
I knew that and I don't consider a DEAD LANGUAGE = """"IS CALLED"""""

>>153768294
Do you also throw fits whenever you realize that there's multiple towns with the same name?

Is it so hard for you to just accept that people in this light sci-fi story have come to just use the colloquial "Earth" for, well, Earth?

It could be more creative but who the fuck cares, better than naming the damn thing New Terra or Bob.

so how much will the gold run pay?

last time I cashed in 69 mil brabenbux for 3 aspx trips is this worth bringing my clipper back from galactic texas?

get the configuration software from CH's site. make new profile. add each device. run calibration check on each device. set all the buttons and axis how you want them. save profile. press the download button to upload your newly created driver to the PC(yeah the button is labeled stupidly, I know) close configuration software.

>gold run

the CG? I've seen it but how does it work

Would probably be too hard to stop people flying their -CUNT- around

>>153768718
>dead language
Italian and portuguese calls it Terra too, and pretty much every other roman language uses a variation of "Terra"

>>153768767
bob is objectively the superior name in this context

the point is it's confusing to the audience to use a name for something that isn't the thing the name means, unless the audience is in fact primarily ignorant simpletons

>>153768963
French is Terre

>>153768718
they seem content to use the latin name for the sun instead of "the sun"

>>153768963
so disgusting languages that should be dead and aren't featured in SC at all

you're like some kid who is like ackshually America means the entire western hemisphere and we can't call USA America and Canada is part of America too!!!! wow everyone is so impressed

and we can't say new york or new hampshire because people from york and hampshire would not understand different places can exist

>>153768963
Well maybe they should adopt the current

lingua franca

:^)

>>153768773
does this remember all your settings if you unplug them and switch ports?

I just callibrate mine but it resets if I unplug them

>>153769172
There are more people on this planet calling it Terra, Tierra, Terre or a variation thereof than Earth, Erde or a variation thereof so I don't know what sort of analogy that is supposed to be

>>153769037
It's confusing for a second before you look at the map and see that it's just two places.

Look at what >>153769049 linked. Do you think anyone confuses Dover in the US with Dover in the UK given the context?

But I get it, you just can't handle that they took whatever names they thought sounded cool and put them in a game about spaceships.

>>153769331
Your point? The game is in english as is. For all we know they might just call it "Earth" as a name in the translations too.

>>153769651
there's a difference between real place names and fictional ones, fictional ones must be for the benefit of the audience

oh wait I forgot you can't tell the difference between real life and star shittizen

I would be willing to bet $10k CIG adds passive mode. Maybe not on release, but no matter how good the slider, someone will find a way to make carebears furiously butthurt. That's not to say I want it to happen, but it's far too obvious.

>>153768090
You mean you'd keep "trying out" other people's ships for variety?

A Lancer should be a good start for the finished game to earn money for better ships.

>>153769786
I'm sure once the modding tools are out you can make your own server where you rename Terra to New Delaware or someshit.

>>153770257
Stupid bet.

>>153766959
>Probably cheaper if you skimp on some modules
For fuck sake do not skimp on the FSD, Power plant or Fuel Scoop. Drop the dosh and get the best of those. They are non-negotiable.

>>153770353
Well you should screencap it and prove me wrong in a couple years, then.

Last night I asked about using an imperial courier for bounty hunting and I posted a build and after taking the advice I came up with this build

I would just like to thank you guys, this thing has worked out great and it's a lot of fun!

>>153770431
I might if I thought you had 10K to give me.

>passive mode
If they did that they might as well just make a singleplayer version of the game.

>>153770520
It was a hypothetical bet, either way.

Already guaranteed. To be worked on post PU launch. Same with mod tools and private servers.

>>153770814
Then there is zero reason for a passive mode because that'd just be E:Ds solo mode.

No it isn't.

Quite the opposite in fact. Chris reiterated that the "PvP slider" would never enable you to avoid players entirely very recently.

Just like it has always been.

>>153770648
Chris is too dedicated to his fantasy game to compromise at this point, and I doubt they're willing to make the same mistakes ED did.

>>153770814
Mod tools and private servers are different in scope from a singleplayer game. Sure, you can go give yourself a server, but you'll have to continue downloading the regular updates CIG will be putting out for the Persistent Universe in order to get the new stuff they're going to be stuffing in the game. So while it's technically singleplayer, as in you're the only one fuckin' around in it, it's still got the server infrastructure and multiplayer components, you're just not using them.

>>153770307
>just mod the lack of effort out of the game

no thanks

>>153770496
That's a pretty sick fit. I dig the internal set up, keeps things light to play to the ships strengths but it's also sturdy in worst case scenarios.

>>153764147
>>153766593
This is unreal. Why would you even play Star Citizen? Are you doing it so you could mindlessly grind NPC missions that make no difference to anything? You'll basically be playing a higher quality ED, so what's the fucking point?

>>153770980
Next time read the whole post instead of jumping the gun. We're talking about singleplayer now, not passive mode.

"pvp slider" should be a setting you pick as you start that your character is locked into

If you can get rich on low pvp then switch to high pvp whenever you want I'm going to be peeved

>>153771379
>You'll basically be playing a higher quality ED

A better ED with non-jew DLCs?
sign me up!

>>153771249
Am I the only person that tells foreigners that i'm from Sol III ?

>>153771617
I say free instead of three because I'm phonetically retarded

>>153771608
PVP slider will be a placebo.

>>153771608
Why?

If someone is looking for you, and in really dangerous areas, the PvP slider has no effect anyway

>>153771884
I would cut out your tongue, so that you have to raise three digits in the air as you sign out your homeworld.
Saying "free" just gives them a bad impression of us.

Where were you when ED became more aerodynamic than SC?

>>153772262
But ED is about hydrodynamics

>>153772262
some of these ships are meant for atmospheric flight you know

I actually kinda like the way they've done it, just a drag reducing profile with maybe some small stabilizing fins and lifting body, heavy lifting still done by thrusters

Panther Clipper is supposed to be the biggest ship the player can pilot. Also the biggest ship that can land.

>>153772503
You're thinking of the Beluga passenger liner, which is being added in the next update. Horizons players only.
Hardpoints
6x utility mounts
5x Medium Hardpoints
Internals
4x Size 3 Compartments
1x Size 4 Compartment
2x Size 5 Compartments
4x Size 6 Compartments
Size 7 FSD, long range passenger liner.

>>153773315
>passenger liner
can we shuttle passengers?

or just slaves?

>>153771612
I guess because I didn't play ED during its first year I've never really understood the ED is jewish DLC meme.

Like they have a bunch of cosmetic shit in their shop yeah but SC lets you spend so much more for actual in game content.

ED is a 30 dollar base game and a 2 year 30 dollar expansion.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
