I agree there's no point in splitting the thread.

At least Elite Dangerous is a game that was released.

>At least Elite Dangerous is a game that was released.
I'm an Elite player and have a passing interest in SC at most, so I'll tell you this: At least they are trying to create a fun game with SC.
Elite's development is ruled by grind and design decisions that hipster forum dads vote on.

>>158370002
Avocado's test the new builds first which are usually unplayable or crash all the time. Once the a build is stable enough then the next wave of testers which is a much larger group then the patch go's live.

Where do capital ships like this dock? I don't think they will even fit at Olisar. Starfarer just fits iirc and that is like 60 meters shorter.

The idea of landing pads in space makes no sense anyways; long docking poles do, because there's no weight or direction. Maybe it will dock on long spines

Can someone post the ship and ship interior that's edited in paint to look like a comfy weeaboo room and it has like a body pillow and anime book case and huge battlestation? Or at least the name of the ship

Carbon fiber arrows are hollow and work just fine.
The only issue is that when they break, they shatter. And carbon fiber splinters are not fun.

>>158377993
They might make more changes to them when they get into mucking with combat balance but right now this is how the ships are;

Sabre has two S3 pylons so it can only equip normal S2 double racks (or s1 quad racks) instead of that special triple rack shit.

Freelancer now only has a s3 pylon and a s4 plyon on each wing instead of 6 pylons on each wing, so you can carry the same number of missiles it originally had, but no more of that 'base freelancers carrying 30+ missiles, invalidating the whole point of the MIS', bullshit.

The 350r seems to have lost it's pylon mounts completely, the other 300ships had their pylons moved down next to the landing gear and use normal sized racks instead of that giant talon thing now.

The Avenger has S2 pylons which means under the new system it can only two S1 missiles or one S2 missile per wing.

Sadly, it was doomed to get nerfed when people started calling it the best starter ship in the game. And I assume they wanted more loadout differences between it and the 325a. On the plus side it has a crazy fast afterburner now so it can run down any ship out of cruise besides the racers.

It's not a particularly huge buff, but now the gladius has four S3 missile pylons instead of two S3 and two S2 pylons. So you can fly around with 8 s2 missiles or 4 s3 missiles now. Still no sign of gun buffs yet though.

Hey, the old thread is on page 10 so if you still want to talk there you can fuck right off back to the /scg/ thread.

>>158380487

There was still no reason to make a new thread besides OPs autism

>>158380624
It's the principle. If the other thread worked, then the one afterwards would be the same, and there would never be a /scg/edg/ again.

Personally I think the general needs to be renamed /scedg/. Or /edscg/ which looks better.

>>158380367
was the question directed at planets or space stations?
because for planets I don't have any idea what you'd do there either, it's just blasted landscape

for space stations they'd probably need to add enough content that it almost becomes an additional game in itself

Why don't snub fighters have QDs?

>>158380818
/scg/edg/ is easier to search each individual game

>>158380919
Fair enough

>>158380818

It almost did work though. For several hours. That was the best part.

Can we stop talking about this shitty war? You guys are worse than /fog/ and /cfog/.

Probably the Python. Only medium sized so it can land everywhere, but also quite a lot of cargo space and it can dish out enough damage that most will think twice about attacking you (and the NPC which is not smart enough just goes up in flames right away).

Only thing bothering me a bit at the moment is the size of the fuel tank. If I do long range hauling missions with >110 LY distance and full cargo I cannot do it on a single tank but have to hang around in some sun's corona for a bit to scoop. Which gets really fucking annoying when the NPC decides to interdict you at that moment. Considering to throw the fuel scoop out and just jam a second tank in there instead, should be enough to jump to my destination without stops and I don't do exploration in the Python anyway.

>>158382383

On a more serious note they'll certainly make fighter jump capable just because it will save player and devs the trouble of a ferry ship mechanic.

>>158382585
Oh, that could potentially work/be balanced.

>>158382595

>>158382305

>>158382787
wait what's he baiting? I thought that snub fighters like the merlin can't travel from, say, olisar to yela or between systems.

>>158382172
Doesn't it lack a scoop so it can't regain afterburner or something silly like that?
I'm sure I remember it running out during a free fly.

>>158383091
Quantum drive is not jumping (which is from system to system).

Not that I'm sure which if any a snub can even do.

>>158383091
Last thread there was some ramble about whether or not the devs said that "all fighter will be capable of equiping JumpDrive" (from system to system) not to confuse with "Quantum-Drive" (the warp within a system you can do in a PU)

The developers didn't exclude the possibility of ship who can't jump at all, but all fighters and starter ship will likely be upgradable to be able to do so (with a shitty range).
That way the devs wouldn't have to make a ferry-ship mechanic and every players can go everywhere with a small ship.

>>158383152
The P-52 maybe, but the P-72 picture you quote specify a scoop

>>158381345
That's legit the Polaris in SC.
>Patrol corvette

>Large warhead weapons

>>158383585
Shit, you're right. I didn't think of making the comparison.

>>158383091

The p-52 Merlin, X85, and p-72 Archimedes, the unnamed scout ship for the Carrak, dragonfly, and the Argo wont have q-drives or jump drives. Some ships wont come with jump drives standard and have to be purchased.

>>158383531
That's a pretty massive deal for the 72, though I'd imagine one of the purchasable parts for the 52 will be a scoop.

How the fuck do I get of this annoying 'elite dangerous 1.7' thing on the bottom left of my screen?

Jumpdrive or not you'll fail as a Star Racer if you didn't shave needless mass from your shiny custom racer ship and carry it to the race within a flying hangar

>>158384039
Is it the network information? There should be a button combination in controls to turn it off.

>>158384020
That depend of how they cement the "fuel mechanic". A while ago there was no afterburner and the "boost" button was deactivate the G-force limiter

>>158384020
Is the 72 supposed to be considered as a separate ship to the phoenix while the 54 is almost part of the andromeda?

>>158385040
I don't understand what you mean.
The P-52 and P-72 are both snubfighter, they can't operate without a carrier-ship.

The Constellation only have module that allow to fit one or others (like the X85). We don't know for the rest of the ship but we assume we will eventually have more ship that can carry snub fighter

so I asked in second general and things got cleared up a little but it would be nice if someone who follows star citizen media closely could sum it up for me
>right now you can only rent ships using ingame currency
>after launch they will be available to buy permanently using UEC
>there will be some kind of ingame "simulators" in which you will have to rent ROMs for virtual ships, also using UEC
>you will still have to buy insurance for your permanent ship so you don't lose it when it gets destroyed

>>158385290
oh nevermind I see what you mean.

>>158385351
Yes.
Yes.
No, as far as I'm aware ROMs for virtual ships are bought with REC as well.
Yes.

oh you might not want to go to the other general to keep allowing trolls to bump their thread up.

what can I do with my 5000aUEC?

>>158385558

>>158385558

>>158385594
No sorry I meant my 5000UEC from my registration. Is that useless until the beta?

>>158384106
Nah just take it off once you dock.

>>158385653
Oh, that's starter money when the game launches. You can either use it in the cash shop now, or wait until launch. I'd personally wait until more items and features are locked down and more are added to the cash shop. I don't see the point in buying a goldfish and lamp, etc. But whatever.

>>158385453
and what about weapons you mount on ships, will they be permanent after launch? I know that right know they are not because of stat balancing.
and what will be the difference between UEC and REC? first will be used for buying "real" stuff and other one for stuff in simualtors?

>>158385762
I'd assume so because everything else is permanent ie the ships you buy
REC is for arena commander and star marine. Remember that both of those are actually electronic simulations, a game within a game; in the early star citizen alpha you had to access it through your computer battlestation in the hangar.

>>158385351

You rent ships and equipment right now with Rental Credits (REC) you earn in Arena Commander. Can't use REC bought ships in the PU, but can use them in AC. You can use REC bought equipment in the PU.

You can earn aUEC (Alpha United Earth Credits) in the PU right now. Can only use aUEC to buy cloths, personal weapons, and bypass ship respawn timers. Will eventually expand to ship stuff, soon(tm). aUEC will get reset with patches along with stuff you bought with it. Don't get attached to this and things you bought with it.

Release of SC will see the use of plain UEC instead of aUEC. You will buy everything from ships, handguns, ammo, medical supplies, cargo, insurance, and more with UEC at release. Don't use UEC right now. Purchases are permanent, and stats are in flux; so the weapon that is hot shit today can be hot garbage tomorrow. You will be able to purchase UEC with real money in packs from CIG. Rumor has it they will also be selling ship packages for real money beyond release as well. The projected cost for most low end ships will be in the hundreds of thousands UEC and millions for ships like the Polaris.

There are going to be several types of insurance. Hull, module, and cargo. Hull insurance will only cover the ship as it was sold, any upgrades and cargo wont be covered. Cargo and module should self explanatory. Cargo covers what is in your hold. Module covers your non-stock upgrades. Insurance will take money to upkeep and has been stated to be a fairly insignificant cost compared to the ship you are flying.

it's even more retarded when you realize how profitable passenger missions are.

they didn't "fix" anything, instead of instance hopping to stack up some good hauling missions you now do instance hopping to stack up some good passenger missions.

what they actually did though was to fuck over every new player. because they didn't just nerf long range hauling and delivery missions, they nerfed all hauling and delivery missions.

3) The M50 is a racer so it's not necessarily a good interceptor.
4) you might actually love the change, you'll get to look at ship

Thinking about it, we don't necessarily need a ship made for that, from what the devs said it should be possible to chose subsystem so it emphasize speed rather than armor/efficiency.

Well elite has always had legs in that you can see your players model sitting in the chair but you can't get up and walk around yet.

They added ship-launched fighter bays, passenger/taxi/prisoner transporting stuff, some more thargoid shenanigans, module storage, and hiring ship movers to tow your ships to your current station. Those are the big additions.

This is how a boarding ship should work, otherwise it's just a fucking stealth taxi

If you have a ship that is so ridiculously stealthy it's invisible your soldier get all the time they need to hack any doors or plant bomb.
Not that it would fit the gameplay, just saying.

At least I didn't draw stick men.

Exactly why it's dumb. Not to mention if a ship is just sitting still doing nothing you probably don't need a stealth taxi anyway

>>158400324
Unless CIG started eating paint chips it must have some way of getting boarders from the ship to the target quickly

Maybe a belly bay door that opens up as it flies by and some kind of catapult to launch boarders onto the target

If boarders only have their own jetpacks to rely on the ship is dead on arrival

Not that you would notice now seeing as their servers get even worse on patch days.

I'm sure I've seen something similar to that before, but I have no idea where.

The game keeps getting stuck in the mission board for both passengers and regular missions. Can't change faction. Only an exit to main menu fixes it. What the fuck frontier?

>>158405164
ok so i guess a workaround is to select a mission then decline it. That allows one to change faction selection.

Warhammer 40k

So I can't split up a passenger mission into separate cabins? A mission requiring 5 slots can't go into a ship with 4 and 4? I can't agree with this

>>158400324
Actually a properly balanced stealth taxi could bring a new edge. But I doubt anybody will agree on the sacrifice needed for that. (for example it being a taxi cab)

An invisible ship.... that can't fire any gun. or can't move fast. or is 100% visible from one direction. or can't stay invisible for a long duration, or can be seen with powerful sensor.
All these would require very very careful consideration but would give the possibility for gameplay that are currently inaccessible.

Then even if you do there will always be players who absolutely won't want boarder they can't intercept using their preferred gameplay.

I would post a picture of my Prowler design but it's invisible.

Aww why did we remerge the thread?

It should be against the rules to have one general dedicated to more than one game.

>>158406249
I'd tell you to fuck off to the other thread, but it died because it was shit

>>158406249
Because we've done votes (feel free to do another) and the majority (literally every vote before has won by 98%+ with 20+ votes) want to stay joined. It's just that thread shitter samefag trying to seperate the thread by force and failing at it

did somebody reportbomb the other thread to death? how did this one survive at one post while that one chugged along, and still survive when it somehow died?

>>158406249
What is /gerg/. Kill yourself.

>>158407008
Because everyone jumped ship to this thread, disagreeing with that thread's OP trying to enforce control after threadshitting about /edg/ being "slaves"

>>158378140
>no boxing glove

Does anyone thing we should rename our general to /sgg/ - space games general? or something along those lines.

It'd be similar to /civ4x/, /gsg/, /hgg/ and /dsg/ who had to merge or face identity crises. Now they are all OK-ish.

Along with SC and ED there are lots of other interesting space games people might want to play and talk about.
