You understand that collisions are mitigated by shields, and the Hull E has capitol class shields and is in fact a capitol class freighter? Ramming it with an aurora will like accomplish nothing but splattering your aurora.

I'll be frank, you are pursuing mutually exclusive goals and rejecting good solution for irrational reasons.

What you described might as well be a Stormtroopers training camp where one try to beat the next clone high-score.
But you can rely only so much on Ego before players' personae & avatar become indistinguishable as a mindgroup.
"Army Game" are appreciated for their gameplay, not for their immersions or for making players feel unique (quite the opposite we feel great because we accomplished something for the groups).
This is why MMO and RPG rely so frequently on free-roaming sandbox. No one expect things from you, you do things for yourself. You can be a Stormtroopers if you wish to, and you can pretend to be Boba Fett.
But that feeling/immersion is ruined if a game surround you constantly with players who are just as shiny than you.

Since you mentioned it, random (procedural or not) generation do not guarantee actual content. NMS is demonstration of that.
Just the same, procedurally generating "shithole bar" won't allow you to have more players (move away and) become new "Ian Solo", it will just generate forgettable place and missions (because the more you Proc-Gen the less you can handcraft).

Star Citizen is meant to give you the potential for great experience that you would never have anywhere (spaceship !), but you believe that the Ego of people will make unique (fun) stuff happen. (1) it don't (2) when something fun happen out of luck, it won't be during an epic mission.

> I like playing with and against people. Robots don't feel gratitude

You aren't going to talk to 200 players simultaneously, 200 players aren't actually going to feel something meaningful looking at you in particular, and if you spread yourself you aren't going to travel to meet as much people for no reasons. Robot are the one giving mission

So instancing the game to 20 players wouldn't change a things except preventing needless cluttering.

On this, bye.

The game is not about you and your special snowflake fucking experience of feeling special. It is not about being "Han Solo" who by the way, was just one random-assed dude in a very very big galaxy, you only know him because he was a main character in a story you watched.

This game is not about being the heroic individual in a movie or being the band of big damn heroes in a tv show. You are not the protagonist of Star Citizen, you are one of many and individually, at the start at least we are all equally meaningless and replaceable.

Instancing the game to 20 people would completely ruin the sandbox MMO aspect of the game. If you want to be the hero in space go play mass effect. This is not a player focus RPG about you, it is a sandbox world that you are in.

You understand the Dragonfly is slow as shit and not terribly maneuverable right? Not exactly a fightercraft. I get where your going with it, but You'd be a a lot closer to what you want with a couple merlins parked in there, I'm pretty sure the holds are big enough.

The cat is ugly duckling comfy. It's rough around the edges but its the sort of ship you could do almost anything with.

I sometimes wonder how many people are like me and just stuck with the starter. Are we a silent majority?

Is that 3.0>4.0 roadmap on the website anywhere or does it only exist on the gamescom livestream?

2.6 featuring how many new fully flyable ships?
methinks they could be doing more smaller updates

>>161363429
The average per person in about $120 dollars, but tahts counting people like me who have spent >$200 and the legions of people with ~$200-$300 bucks worth of ships.

So I'd imagine yes, the vast bulk of players have auroras, mustangs, and perhaps most commonly Avengers and 300s

I know I think 4 or 5 people IRL who have only a 315P because that's what I recommended they get if they were only gonna get one ship.

>>161363429
I think there was some statistic somewhere which said that around 90% or so of backers just got a base package.

>>161363456
Scroll down to the bottom of https://robertsspaceindustries.com/schedule-report

>>161363586
Patches are released for major game systems updates not individual ships. each patch imposes sweeping and troublesome restrictions on code development and asset introduction since adding literally anything at all to a piece of software causes bugs with must them be swatted. You want few massive patches not many little patches because each patch adds similar overhead in terms of both labor and downtime regardless of how big or small it might be.

I just never see people talking too much about their Aurora or Mustang. Even at the lower end it's 300 series or Avenger. Is it just that the starter ships are so bad in the current version of the game that people end up upgrading like >>161363429 to try and have some fun?

>>161364409
They certainly added the fighter to the gunship to give it a purpose given in its basic state it's worse at being multirole than the dropship, and worse at fighting than the assault ship. So yeah, instead of changing its internals around and buffing critical stats like jump range to make it an upgrade to the assault ship in that area they just kept it shit but gave it a fighter.

I'm not a dad. It just doesn't make sense, the SLF distribution for everything else is perfectly fine this is the one exception that makes no fucking sense.
Being able to deploy and SLF and stay true to its name of Dropship would've given it a place in the Federal Xship line.
Instead its just worse, not even better enough than the Gunship for transport to warrant its use for such over it.

It's like >>161364470 says.
Everyone who is following the game closely and talking about it at dead o clock in the morning(in game dev terms) when theres nothing to talk about or do has spent more than the base pledge, were all some kind of fanatic or other. Most Aurora normies and huehues and cykas a babbies got thier base pledfge then promptly forgot the game exists and stopped talking about it.

You don't hear people talking about Auroras because people who have auroras just bought the game and don't buy ships or talk about the game at all. They have SC and an aurora but theyre not game community participants yet because the game isn't really a game yet.

>>161364491

tarantulas for a more general purpose weapon

APAR if you want more oomph and don't mind low rof and low ammo count

>>161370632
Depends on your ship. Generally speaking, Broadswords are better than those. The firerate and bullet travel time allow for more consistent damage output.

Tarantulas have poor bullet speed making them a lot harder to hit with unless you're really damn close.

Mass drivers have a lot more punch per hit, but the fire rate means you have to be really damn good at target tracking.

I got it from an earlier thread where like >>161376490 says it was being passed as leaked concept art, but there's no supporting evidence.

I wish it were though, a cheapo plastic multicrew ship from CO would be neat.

>>161362427
To be honest, this is my main issue with pretty much every multicrew ship to date. They don't feel comfy, they feel industrial. Everything's made of metal, including the crew areas. The crew cabin on the starfarer feels like the inside of a prison cell.

Where are the carpeted crew quarters? Actually scratch that, where's all the soft-textured stuff?

The closest we get is the Connie Pheonix, but even then it feels...spartan - like a showmodel, not like something you'd actually travel/live in.


Let's compare to some classic spaceships, The Nostromo for example. It feels like a spaceship, but the dining area has carpeted floors, padded seats, those weird leather things around the doors, etc. Serenity has a wooden table and chairs.

It's a bit discouraging when every ship, military or not, feels like the Galactica, full of metal surfaces and not much else.

When did overheating become such a noticeable thing on weapons in SC?

>>161378697
You'll probably have to wait on the dedicated Passenger Ferry ship. I get you, I'd like to pimp my space ship too, but a lot of that stuff isn't a good idea in a space ship.

>>161378697
Starfarer is an industrial refueling ship, don't expect luxuary.
890Jump, Origin 600s, those are where the fancy interiors are.

is there a single ship with comfy hangout rooms featuring fucking windows and not just being enclosed steel tubes?

>>161379280
The starfarer was just an example, every ship in the game feels like that.

Besides, i'm not after luxury - just not bland steel and chrome everywhere. As per my examples though, the Nostromo is also, coincidentally, a industrial ship, but it at least has some level of comfiness to it.

Also i'm not sure about your examples, seeing as they're both unreleased ships we haven't even seen 3d renders of yet.

They said they would stop selling ships in the store. They never said they would stop selling jpgs.

I think post 'release' they will still sell concept ships. In return you get early access to it before it goes on the store.

Its just the right level of balance on the grey line that is P2W to be excusable but also whale exploitable.

Is soothing Dutch man right? Do his schedule predictions look accurate?

>2.6 before christmas 2016
>3.0 Mid 2017
>S42 not in 2017, but heavily promoted during Gamescom/Citcon 2017
>3.1 end of 2017, mainly due to shift of dev focus to s42 after 3.0 hits
>3.2 Spring 2018
>3.3 Released during Gamescom 2018
>S42 released before end of 2018
>4.0 early 2019

Watch the video for his reasoning, looks pretty accurate to me.

Because of SC's power system you can ensure it doesn't happen, but you'll have a really slow weapon recharge.

>>161383602
all they have to show of sq42 is mocap and a old tech demo

the mission from citizencon got scrapped
probably because chris wanted his space worm
and we haven't seen a shred of it almost two months later

it's very possible sq42 won't be out in 2017

>>161383832
Things to consider when assessing SQ42 release date:
1) Flight model needs to be set (SC 2.6?)
-all SQ42 ships need final damage states / component systems
2) FPS mechanics need to be set (SC 2.6)
-all animations need to be finalized / item system
3) AI (subsumption need to be finished)
-FPS/Flight enemy AI needs to be thoroughly play tested
4) Missions may be white/grey boxed, but will need extensive QA testing with 2.6 mechanics
-enemy AI links in to this
5) Art assets need to be added to all white/grey boxed environments (probably not that big of a job - looks like a lot of the assets art is done, so placing is dependent on level testing and finalization).

We can probably assume the mocap / "cinematic" npc moments are mostly finished.

tl:dr- 2.6 play testing is gonna be pretty integral and required to push S42 towards end point, then there needs to be a lot of internal testing with AI and then final set dressing.

Sounds like a few(++) months absolute minimum.

>>161384196
To add:
I think we'll see 2.6 - long wait - s42 - small wait - 3.0.
Nothing going into 3.0 is relevant to s42 apart from planets (which have been "ready" for an age - and s42 doesn't need the newer features) ?

Yours is exactly the mentality that ruined E:D, the belief that attempts from the developers to make a game fun are insult to your all mighty ego that would have had fun by itself if not for those "shitty scripted advantage" or something.
That's why 'dads' play solo by the way, it's the only way left for them to feel special after asking for all players to only become significant through insignificant actions.

A game is by definition making you a special snowflake, any missions is about making you a more particular one, any features (from spacefighter to arbitrary players cap) are about giving you the possibility of being something you weren't (Were you a space trucker ? Were you a space explorer ? Were you a space pirate ?). A multiplayer game is about making several players special snowflake and you recognize a good MMO precisely when it doesn't make you feel superfluous (do WoW prevent you from level up up to "movie worthy" character)

This goes for 'army game' like Planetside as well. You aren't forced into a sweeper first or a cannon fodder are you ? You aren't given only 1 chance over 1000 to become a fighters pilot are you ? Notice how the game look made so everyone feel important ? Just the trailer is bait anyone to become that one unique Master Chief.
Same principle at work when a multiplayer game is limited to say squad of 4 against zombie, or separating players per skills.

So stop stroking your ego and understand why 50 players instances are meant to keep the game both feasible & fun.

That include both soulless Stormtroopers, Han Solo or that Admiral and his players crew. Even if the scripted mission can only do so much, suspension of disbelief beat wishful thinking.

Then yeah, you'll either have to suck it up and take that one or keep hopping between Fed factions you're allied with till you get one that isn't retarded.
As someone not grinding out Rank specifically, just doing combat in general but looking for Imperial backed wars while I'm at it to get 2 birds with 1 stone. Got allied with the Imp faction today and they gave me a Rank up mission that wasn't retarded, after I flat out ignored the previous ones presented because they wanted me to truck out several hundred light years when I'm combat specced. All it involved was hopping over to the neighbor system to deliver data; it was so close I only had to jump once in my FDL.

I mean you have 3 ships that are some of the highest in their class at what they do, ASP E being the absolute best at what it does.
Anaconda is really only something to shoot for if you absolutely want a big dick swinging combat/multipurpose.
As for how to grind it, you either do shit you actually enjoy and amass the money for it that way (personally I'm in High Int. CZs and Haz RES most of the day, with occasional exploring). Or if you REALLY want it quick you can get a Transporter and succumb to the mind numbing shit that is trading, or spec one of your current ships for Passenger missions (ASP would probably be the best candidate, FDL doesn't have enough internals). Passenger missions are more time consuming but actually require some specific shit for you to do so its not as mind numbing as trading. Trading is also only more lucrative than it if you're running the most optimal routes in Bubble; even then its close with how high Passenger payouts are.
Alternatively you can just do you like I said before but take advantage of another 17 Draconis Exploit popping up for a system. But who knows whenever that'll be.

>Anaconda is really only something to shoot for if you absolutely want a big dick swinging combat/multipurpose.

I would honestly prefer a Corvette, but I'm not going for the rep grind.

Basically, I see it like this:

Sure, I can have three ships that do everything I want as a collective, but I would much rather just have one ship that will do everything I need.

So, instead of having the FDL for combat and the Asp for Trading and Exploration, I'd much rather just outfit a stupidly expensive Anaconda and just re-outfit it every time I want to change what I'm doing.

Plus, it's pretty much the only ship that can successfully turret boat, and that's something I really want to do.

See here: https://coriolis.edcd.io/outfit/anaconda?code=2putpFklndzsxf57o1f1f1f1c1c191904040404040402024k5n5n052d2d2d2b6l32v6.Iw18ZlA%3D.Aw18ZYIy0A%3D%3D.

You really an absolute madman. Do you at least have some of those Multi's modified with Incendiary or do you actually take that long to kill shields.

>>161389309
Yes it does because the merchantman can make more money

It will be easier to use the merchantman to get a freelancer than the other way around

>>161389279
M8 you might want to consider getting experience with at least 1 or 2 Fixed weapons, or the next patch which is gonna nerf Gimbals is gonna hit you hard.
And having 6 Shield Boosters is not worth getting swarmed by gimbals or eating Torpedoes, especially Torpedoes. That much extra shields isn't gonna mean anything if someone fires a Torp at you.

>>161389478
I'll test your build out now. I'm at a station with a CZ near it and really good outfitting.

>>161389535
7 pulse lasers all staying on target together when positioned well enough. Pretty sure that's overkill against a lot of things.

As far as my FDL goes, the shields never pop and the multicannons actually handle shields well enough for me not to really care.

Freelancer is a soloable freighter, BMM is not. Bigger is not by default better, it may be that the BMM turns out to be a better solo freighter than the lancer, but until we have something more than a jpeg and an inaccurate stats page to go on, we don't know.

By that same logic My Hull E is just flatly a better ship than a bmm, it carried more cargo right? surely they don't both have a distinct and different niche to fill? One being a fuckhuge bulk freighter and the other being a biggish blockade runner.

"6 months of game time" as in, after 6 months has elapsed in game, which has an accelerated time scale.

Not after you've played 6 months worth of the game.

Learn the best and most optimal trade routes. Can probably do some googling for that. Alternatively just find some systems yourself that have matching supplies and demands, different Economies produce and require different commodities. This is about all I know because I did trading for a few hours then swore it off forever.

>>161393212
>which has an accelerated time scale
*might* have an accelerated timescale (probably will)
even so 4320 hours at 10x speed is 432 hours, which should be more than enough to earn something beyond an avenger

>>161394673
If I had to wager a guess I'd say it'll work like the REC rentals. You get 6 months worth of day tokens, and if you log in on a day it starts counting down 24 hours for that token. If you don't log in, you don't spend a day token.

>>161398248

This makes sense, I wouldn't even dream of taking the Hull E outside of a safe zone without an army and I'd imagine most people owning one will have the Orgs to help with that.

>>161398458
they'll probably make it like $565 just so there's no obvious CCU option available that doesn't require you spend another 100 or so dollars to reach.

>>161398861
No it'll probably get bumped into the $350 category or maybe $325 with the orion.

Hell yeah niggu, it is going to be fucking amazing, slow paced chillin comfy gamestyle with an Endeavor.

Im gonna whistle slowly as I science the shit I found with Terrapin, after locating them with the Telescope...when satisfied, fuck yeah I might try the biodome life..Use the HullA in its hangar to do planet-to-orbit haulage..

If I feel in the mood for some ultra chill gameplay, Ill roll with the hospital module putting a nice price ticker for respawn shit.

Such a shame the ship is not even going to be near flight ready at 4.0.

Fuck you CIG...why you had to make a ship as complex as a game, before even finishing the base game.

>>161398458
I was thinking the same, Its on a giftable LTI token, so I might even sell it in the grey market post price hike.

Ill just roll around with Endeavor/Terrapin/HullA comfyness.

Hell, they might even give Carrack as a loaner ship for Endeavor.

I expect the price hike will be similar to Starfarer, as Its everything besides a rare ship.

I could see $360. but there's no way they'll they'll price it $350 or under. There's way too many 0$ merchantman CCUs out there for them to let them be turned into cheap crucible/hullD/carrack/endevour/reclaimers

>>161399252
Whats the deal with m50 senpai? I mean gameplaywise its fast but, fuck me for that price? Why not just Aurora and ccu that shit into something role spesific?

>>161399298
This. If they price it below 350$ the Jews will crash the economy for all those good ships.

Fucking space jews.

>>161399326
GOTTA GO FAST

also I bought it a billion years ago during the concept sale

>>161399286
Yes it does its just no longer a IFCS mode.

It's literally just punch afterburner and hold it for a bit, then coast in a line each turn you make will spill some velocity and you'll have to burn up to max cruise against.

>>161399438
But they are nerfing the speed overall senpai? Why not a comfy herald? That might open up new gametypes?

I mean unless you love racing thats another story.

>>161399458
Yes, so "cruise" doesn't exist anymore.

>>161399547
Crusie the IFCS mode will not exist, Cruise the "High veloctiy low maneuvering" flight profile will still exist, they're just making it a second velocity cap instead of a toggle.

I have arrived at the point where I am certain I will not and should not spend any more money.

>>161400049
That is a very very solid combo. Stick to Terrapin until you got enough shiggidy to maintenance Polaris...then, well carry the Terrapin and rock on.

Shame I suck at combat general. Good for you.

Did you know that you can use Terrapin as Search and Rescue, and use Polaris medbay for fuckfuck?

I'd imagine it will be like fast-paced smuggling.
You have to get to the destination as quickly as possible and avoid detection or capture to make a bit more money than you would just simply smuggling stolen ore or whatever.

>>161400342
Whom are you quoting?

because you certainly didn't use the word "compared with" anywhere, famililililio.

Neither will be "agile".

>>161400142

Yeah I am hoping CIG will deliver on how versatile they were saying the Terrapin is. Search and rescue, long range scanning, using it as a make-shift troop transport. Either way it'll be useful for the type of utility stuff that the Polaris can't really do.

>>161400309

Also note how even GIANT SHIPS like the Starfarer or cap ships don't have individual cabins, instead shoving everyone in the same room, despite the fact you get RL boats the size of a 300i with cabins.
