uhh... what?

>>159845528
In other words you will probably not lose velocity once burner is off. It wont be a separate flight mode anyway but just the result of burning in a straight line for a bit.

Burn up to cruise speed, coast.

>>159843976

Didn't they recently change afterburner to consume fuel even at max speed? Maybe that will change if this is implemented as well, because otherwise nobody would be able to stay in cruise mode for very long at all.

looking at the imperial courier given it's amazing shields

how well would three rail guns work on it assuming I could actually hit my target?

>>159848167
Maybe once star citizen releases in 10 years, it's almost too much shit for one game

>>159848334
>Too much shit for one game

I don't get this meme. Neither what ED or SC are promising are too much shit. Maybe if either game suddenly decided to make each planet into a giant GTA style open world where you can wage wars with millions of other players at the same time you could make this argument.

So far it's been a standard space sim with planetary landing for both games.

>>159848089
>railguns
I don't think so, Tim.

Especially with 3 of them. You shoot them once and watch your heat skyrocket and your modules start to melt.

Typically people try to get cobra 3 but I call them faggots for liking that shit-tier looking triangle faggot ship, much prefer viper 3.

>>159848459
Isn't star citizen going to include first person shooter elements?

>>159848497
But railguns are so cool

>>159848568
They're already in game. Regardless, that's nothing exceptional. X Rebirth has first person exploration in stations.

>>159848684
Pick up the railguns and watch every single module melt from 400% heat when you shoot them in an icourier then.

Alternatively, you could NOT be a plebe and go with viper mk 3 with maximum dakka.

>>159843976
If you're flying a vanguard or SH why not joust?

>>159848568

Yes?

But they are using Cryengine which is FPS out of the box. The hard part is making the space part work which they have been working on for 4 years and hired a lot of the Crytek team.

>>159848089
Cobra is a straight upgrade to the Adder for multipurpose uses. 1 more internal compartment and 2 of them are Level 4 in comparison to the Adder's highest of Level 3 so those are an upgrade.
1 more Medium Hardpoint which is already a worthwhile boost in firepower
Signficantly faster by 80m/s
Base Jump Range is already better and can be upgraded better than the Adder's best FSD because its a class higher.
Higher Shields
Higher Fuel Capacity
Higher Hull
The only thing the Cobra doesn't do better is maneuverability, Adder has a higher maneuver rating by 2.
The Imperial Courier is also a fine choice but is much more suitable for combat than multipurpose, due its lack luster internal compartment sizes and higher amount of Utility Mounts

pls go and stay go
viper master race

>>159848991
And like >>159848817 says if you're looking for a combat ship and want something cheap, go for the Viper MKIII instead.

>>159848993
No, I didn't miss that part. My point is, it's not really promising too much. If suddenly Roberts woke up tomorrow and said that he wanted to have Planetside 2 scale battles with hundreds of factions with different vehicles A LONG with the space sim aspect, I would be the first one to call him out on promising too much. That or if he decided to add Farm Simulator completely into the game. Those are things that would be too much.

>>159849070
For Combat I agree, I love the Viper. But for multipurpose use, Cobra is better because of the Viper's vastly inferior Internals and FSD Class.

>>159848991
>>159849098
>>159849070
probably just going to keep saving for the courier, I can get along in combat just fine on my adder, using 2 burst lasers and a rail gun atm

>>159849070
You're delusional if you think Viper does anything but combat better. Everything that doesn't have to do with combat, Viper is utter shit tier in.

The Viper is the poorfag's Fer De Lance.
Stop being a poorfag.

>>159848089
>Is there any reason to upgrade from this thing?

Sure, but for what purpose?

The Cobra Mk3 is the next tier up for multipurpose. After that is the AspX.

For combat you're looking at DBS, iCourier and Vulture in that order.

The DBS handles rails better than you'd think it would because it has great heat management. iCourier has great shields but not so great heat management. The Vulture has no size 1 or 2 hardpoints so fitting rails would be a waste; it's meant to take on ships much larger than itself.

>>159849070
No point using a Viper since the DBS came out, to be entirely sincere with you.

>>159849518
Viper makes a decent alternative to the Cobra if you're bounty hunter oriented. I used the Mk IV to grind out an Asp E before I switched to that permanently when I was playing.

>>159849574
I guess I can live with a single rail gun and still be feared with the courier

I mostly try for assassination and bounty hunting stuff

Also why so many hull reinforcements, learn to manage your shields nigger. Get a fucking SCB in there.

Why is it impossible to be allied with this npc?

>>159851849
Mission structure was changed in 2.1 and totally fucked.

Also payouts were nerfed like crazy because FDev doesn't like people having fun.

All the systems that Sirius owns have either zero missions or literally impossible to complete missions, and on top of that, only Ceos and Sothis have large landing pads.

Fuck.

>>159851792
It's a RES/CZ FAS. The shields come back up in seconds if they drop and I give exactly zero fucks about hull damage.

The FPS part isn't what make SC something special.
It's that they'll be doing it without any transition whatsoever.

Even E:D can add FPS if they spawn and teleport player into separate space when entering a building/spaceship.
It's something else to tear apart a warship and see it vent, cargo & crew.

We are all wishing they fix and prevent all the glitch out of spaceship we suffer for now.

>>159861272
>It's something else to tear apart a warship and see it vent, cargo & crew.
I'm still wondering how they are going to make missile/torpedo impacts affect the interior of big ships since they said tearing holes anywhere in the hull is a no-go.

You can kill an entire tank crew by concussion and spalling of an impact on the outside of the armor.

I'm just memeing. THough with the level of control they clearly have over the color pallete it seems it would be a fairly simple matter to build an in game UI function to do just that. IE: they can already shift the color pallette in engine in real time they're not having to go in and swap textures to change color, so giving the players the ability to pick like say four set of colors: Primary, Secondary, Trim and Underlay would probably be a relatively simple task, in terms of Star Citizen, not a priority really, but a simple step that would add a lot of easy optical diversity to the game.

When using rails against larger ships you should be sniping their power plant.

Might want to pick targets within your own weight class, or only go after larger ones if your allies are ganging up on them.

>>159924417
I'll probably do the sensible thing and just load up with 4 laser weapons of some kind

unless 4 kinetic weapons are better

>>159924494

I used to run two small beams and two medium multicannons when I had a DBS.

Seeing as lasers have a damage bonus against shields and a penalty against hull, but smaller weapons also have a damage penalty against larger hulls... It made sense to put the anti-shield lasers in the smaller slots since they suck against hull anyway, while the anti-hull kinetics suffer fewer size penalties in the medium slots.

How hard are these Settlement Generator missions typically? I can't imagine its a breeze with how much it gives.

>>159924829

Depends on the settlement. If it's small and low security you can sneak in with an SRV, blow it and tear ass out of there.

Generators are only vulerable on one side, which normally faces a thick wall. Taking them out from a ship can be anywhere from tricky to impossible.

I figured I could just stroll in since it was low sec and theres was ZERO drones in sight. I guess my additional luck was how easy the gen was to hit. Made 905,000 CR off of that.

>>159926472

Rails do full damage regardless of the target's size, iirc. It's one of the perks of using them.

They also breach the hull very easily so when you hit somebody's hull and it does fuck-all damage to their hull% it's because it punched through and wrecked one of their subsystems. That's why you typically use them to snipe the enemy's powerplant.

I'm guessing the answer was "enough".

>>159928174

Drones aren't really a threat to a starship anyway. It's the ground-based anti-air turrets and missile batteries that'll ruin your day, and small low sec bases won't have any of those.

There's a dockable port on planet B5 in Arietis Sector CQ-Y D60 that had stackable missions to destroy skimmers at a nearby base on the same planet. The base spawns 4 skimmers at a time that you can take out with a barrage of dumbfire missiles and has no other defenses. You can jump back up to orbital cruise and immediately dive back down to respawn the skimmers until you fill the mission quota.

I haven't been there in a while but it was an anarchy at the time so you didn't even get assault bounties on you.

IMO, the few last AtV were close to what I would expect.
Sure sure they talked in length about how awesome their planet is, but that's because it's is freaking amazing ! We are just blasé because planet always look good and we barely saw any weathers.

The rest is showing how stuff work behind the look. Though it look minimalist compared to the first video we saw. I bet they are trying to hide as much of the good stuff to surprise us (that's typical of CR)

I hope we will get a planet that is full with with bugs and you can land in a camp and accept missions for hunting bugs

like starship troopers, would be so great

>hey I almost made a million

that's fine and all when you're a newbie but consider that earnings like that don't scale at all with bigger ships and pilot federation ranks (only with local faction rep), combine that with the pricetag of bigger ships and you'll see why a lot of players are disgruntled with the game

I grinded that at the rate of 100M a day for 3 days until the missions started disappearing then went somewhere else and grinded until I got 800M

at least now i feel comfy in my corvette, I'm not losing that motherfucker to lolnorebuy anytime soon.

What the fuck?
Eddb told me that Cixin Dock has Large landing pad but when I arrived it turned out that Cixin is an outpost with no large pads.
And I just turned on Elite after dropping it for long time. This is what happens within few minutes, I'm dropping the game for months again

If based Elwin is working on this and they're fixing the retarded landing gear I might have to get one.

I fucking love how iconic the Buck looks

>>159931048
It was the most up-to-standard atv since before citcon. Showed us new things in a raw ugly state. We got the no bs blockers and status from CR himself

>>159939569

Fucking spam cutlass rework questions for christ's sake

>>159946412
Cutlass team is in Austin, not LA.

>>159946346
Woops, its not euro times - add 2hr to that

>>159946412
They said cutlass greybox is done
If they dont give us greybox on the 18th, were waiting til the next austin ATV or maybe a jump point reveal

Hopefully teller gets the model and makes a vid

>>159947260
How do you think Teller gets models? All his models are either from the Holoviewer or last year's leak which definitely won't happen again.

He doesn't get them from any special place or method.

>>159947346
Idk, he had a polaris model almost instantly at citcon. Leaked files aside maybe hes just damn good at modeling from 2d references.

Otherwise id have to assume hes getting it from cig somehow. If someone is sending him files theyre doing gods work

>>159947829
You do realize that you can instantly save the model from the holoviewer, right? It's not some sort of magic trick.

>>159947902
Well then were waiting I guess, he still presents the ships better than cig whenever they do so

How do I manage my shields, weapons etc. on the Freelancer? None of the F keys work, and F3 (the HUD mode toggle) just gives me an arrow that can't click on anything.

>>159955250
Press 'z'

So like I get that the windshield on the ship has the navigational info

but why aren't the people of this universe putting all HUD info on the visor of the space suits? ya know, in case the windshield breaks

>>159957091
That makes too much sense. Gotta make canopy breaks more dangerous I guess.

>>159957091
well when the windshield breaks you die typically, so I guess they thought it redundant.

and it's not like you ever get out of your seat or anything.

>>159957883
There's a good chance to survive canopy breakage if you're in a populated system, even more so if you spend 50k to max it out and get 25 minutes to get it fixed
