Because there are a bunch of videos and such I did not go through that maybe had something about it and somebody here watched them and knew.

How can CIG go about making the weapon sounds better? Distorting them, adding bass to make them sound fuller?

Kinda this. They should be richer, more textured sounds like Star Wars lasers.

Cook: I haven't made a dinner in 10 years, please pay me money to make a dinner for you!

Customer: You are a famous chef so OK, how much money do you need?

Cook: just enough for 10 people, and it will be done in 20 minutes and be the Best Damn Meal Ever!

Customer: ok, that sounds great! here is enough money for 50 people just in case.

Cook: wow thanks...

*20 minutes goes by*

Customer: So where's the meal?

Cook: well, since you gave me money for 50 people, I decided to change the recipe and make a bigger meal, so I started over. It's going to take an hour now, but I need more money. It will be the Best Damn Meal Ever!

Customer: OK, still sounds great. Here is money for 100 people just in case.

Cook: Thanks it will be ready in an hour!

*hour goes by*

Customer: So where's the meal?

Cook: funny thing, we had a problem with cooking the recipe backbone, and had to start entirely over again. And we need more money, and it will take all rest of the day now. But it will still be the Best Damn Meal Ever!

Customer: I am getting pretty hungry, can I at least get an appetizer?

Cook: I don't want to spoil the meal, so I won't show you anything form the main course, but here are some broken crackers to munch on. Send us More money now please!

Customer: OK, here is money for another 20 people, will that be enough?

Cook: Oh we always had enough money to make the meal, just the more money we get, the more ingredients we can put in it!

Customer: OK, I will wait till the end of the day.

*end of the day*

Customer: So where's the meal?

Cook: *silence*

*the next day*

Customer: I am getting kind of tired eating broken crackers, where is the meal? You said it would be the BDME?

>>162456184
Cook: It's coming along great! But I don't want to show you anything or it might spoil it. And we need more money again, but now we won't be delivering all the ingredients, we can only put the Minimum Viable Ingredients into the meal.

Customer: I don't care, I am starving, just serve whatever you got please.

Cook: Ok I will give you a slice of the meal later today to snack on while we finish the meal.

Customer: for sure later today?

Cook: Yes! For sure later today! Also please send us more money for better ingredients, and cash only no credit!

*end of day*

Customer: So where is the slice of the meal?

Cook: *silence*

Customer1: This is Bullshit™

Customer2: The Cook never promised to give you a slice!

Customer1: Yes he did you idiot, he said it just 7 lines above this one!

Customer2: You can't rush a good meal! Stop acting like an entitled special snowflake-- oh look here comes the cook again, I bet he has our slice!

Cook: Hey, while you are waiting, here is a menu to browse through which shows all the ingredients we are working with, and estimated times for cooking. And please send us more money again, cash only no credit!

Customer1: well, that makes me feel better at least, here's money for another 20, thank you.

Customer2: I am sure we will get that slice, and the morrow tour, and 2.6 and 3.0 in the next 5 minutes because they probably were cooking them all at the same time!...

*Customer1 stabs Customer2 in the head with a salad fork*

I would like to see a move from RNG weapon effects to more specific weapon options and loadouts. I would rather synthesise special ammo or warheads from mats than pray to RNGesus for them. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to be able to craft the upgrades to a tuned weapon you don't want to lose an already good result on? Mo' flex fo' effect.

I like the idea someone threw in a few threads ago.
Use an 890 Jump as orbital brothel on a private server and pay for service on the main PU.
Since this is cryengine and it has been said to be moddable you could actually have porn mods.
It's the new Skyrim.

But my gut feeling tells me to hold it until at least 3.0 has arrived.

KB+M is grand for starcitizen, but personally Ive had mine and my freinds ass handed to us on a silver platter buy a pilot using dual stick and pedal, I spoke to him after super friendly guy and he said it took him like 100 hours to make the controls second nature, we were all in super hornet and he just totally out maneuvered us. Barely scratched the guy

>>162463394
Both of those ships are being reworked, the cutlass is undergoing rework now and it looks awesome, the 300 series is next after they do the F8 Lightning. seems like a solid line up of intercepting and grappling/tractoring onto ships. but if you are stealing cargo im not sure how much room you would have in the cutlass with a dragonfly in there too

>>162463424
I've had my fair share of hours in DCS so I'm hoping I can make good use of my x52 stick without getting my ass handed to me for 100 hours by kb+m players. I'll find out soon enough once I upgrade to be able to play this.

Totally possible, just make sure you use fixed maxed sized weapons, KB+M players will have an easier time hitting you with gimbals than you will but gimbaled weapons are always a size lower than their hardpoint, with the right fixed weapons you can pop them quick enough

>>162465081
You're right, ship combat is garbage in this game, I will probably get bored of it and hire plebs to do it.

Last time I jumped in to battle royale I got 1-hit in my sabre by broadswords I think, either exploit or aimbot. So much for "Sabre is overpowered with a shield exploit". Then I tried just focusing on a single player, no matter how much I hit them, they just tanked the damage. After about 5 minutes I just alt-tabbed and closed it. It's pretty garbage desu.

Maybe they should switch to turn-based combat. Careful consideration of your movement, heat management, ammunition, and probability to hit. Armor and shield facing should also be a big deal.

there will be some kind of slot system for vehicle interiors to prevent you from stacking all open floor space with manually parked Dflies and vehicles tho

Why isn't it a socket CiG?
Why cant I swap it for something that makes the ship itself better. A fighter isn't protected by Cap class shields and can be easily destroyed rendering the empty hangar useless.

Let me make it into something else, such as:
A BFG turret
A shitload of vertical missiles pods
A bunch of little gun turrets.
An EWAR array
A FleetCom nerve center
A Barracks and drop pod launcher
A friggin huge cargo hold
Anything but spending half the ships volume to appease the pocket carrier autists.

>>162488051
They might've taken a course on the Littoral Combat Ship, which has a similar design. Though the LCS is significantly more modular than what we've seen from the Polaris so far. The idea is that what you put in the hangar extends the mission profile of the Polaris accordingly, but I'm not sure how well that will work in practice. Being able to slot out the hangar for various mission modules would be the ideal solution since that's two levels of empty space to fill with whatever the ship needs.

I hope they do something along those lines, but I'm not holding my breath for it.

>>162488051
>A fighter isn't protected by Cap class shields and can be easily destroyed rendering the empty hangar useless.
You better hope it ain't because it's the only thing protecting your slow ass from other fights, faggot.

>>162488051
I like the ship customization in Star Trek Online. You can change the ship parts between 3 or 4 different configurations, including nacelles, pylons, saucer, hull, wings, etc. That kind of modular customization would be good in Star Citizen, especially when you consider a lot of the ship itself won't be used inside so it would be exterior only. For example, the engines on the Polaris could have different shaped pylons and swept forward/back, etc.

>>162491960
A lot of the ships are already built with interchangeable parts, like the bridge area on the Constellation, so I wouldn't be surprised if CIG does something like this in the future.

I wouldn't expect to see it until like beta or something though.

>>162492734
Yep it would be a distant feature but would still be cool.

It's not star wars where shooting the right spot twice will make the ship spontaneously explode.

>>162489935
The LCS is exactly what I have in mind. What Im hoping is that if enough noise is made they can alter that part of the ship before it is modeled so that its a Hangar In a swappable socket, I don't care if they come out with other options at the moment, but I just hope they set the ship up so that the parts can be easily designed and swapped later.

>>162491960
>especially when you consider a lot of the ship itself won't be used inside so it would be exterior only.
Not sure what you means by this. the majority of the ships is accessible internally, also stuff like cosmetic changes to thruster positioning are extremely unlikely because the thrusters deliver thrust in a physics accurate way and move them around would require a complete rework of the ships flight characteristics.

Its very unlikely large external sections of ships will be swappable, they already said that the various constellation noses >>162492734 will not be interchangable
What will be interchangable on many hulls is large internal bays, Like the cat and retaliator.

>Not sure what you means by this
I used this pic as an example and highlighted parts of the ship exterior which don't affect the interior or functionality of turrets or systems, and can't be accessed from the inside, i.e. they can be changed to different shapes as customization options if they ever wanted to implement that, to make ships look less like each other and give more variety.

>>162499747
I would not expect much structural variety, in particular of the frivolous type,Everything in this game has mass, nearly every part serves a purpose and changing anything is going to effect the physics of the ship.

STO is not a sim, it's an arcade game, that sort of cosmetics is not going to happens in SC.

>>162499246
It's not about one or two shots. It's about getting ganked by 1 or 2 hornets in your polaris, and you can't hit them because you maneuver like shit compared to them and all you realistically have to defend yourself with is few turrets

>>162500420
That's why most non autist owners are going to be part of a fleet for safety. A ship like that is a sitting duck on its own. Only King Sperg himself would take that out without paid fighter escort.

>>162500745
Yes, and instead of wasting fuel and money on escorts flying around, you park them in the Polaris you thick cunt.

>>162500420
The polaris has 10xS4, 2xS5 32x S3 Missiles Cap shields of relatively high quality to defend itself with. You talk like its going to be a sitting duck for anything smaller than itself, but even 1 of those dual S4 turrets could very easily kill a fighter, and unlike the tally they're positioned well enough to get at least two on most fire arcs.

You understand that you can dump power into shields to make them recharge faster? And something like a hornet will be unable to deal real damage to something like a polaris? A gladiator maybe. Again, it isn't star wars single fighters or even a couple fighters are not gonna go around heroically exploding cap ships. You're going to need serious firepower to get through the shields. And once you do you're ganna need to cripple the reactor or the generators if you don't they're just gonna come back up.

>>162501245
>hitting things with turrets
Good joke, you're a funny guy.

>>162501515
SCM is for fighters, big fat ships which have turrets are going to do their flying at cruise, in order to keep up you're gonna have to punch burners and fly straight after, making you easier to hit.

If you think they are going to leave half the weapons in the game useless and only allow single seat ships combat effectiveness you are both biased and delusional.

If Chris Roberts other games are any indication, fighters are gonna do diddly dick to corvettes and larger, but the Gladiators, Retaliators, and any other ship that can mount torpedoes are going to be priority target #1 when they appear if you've got a capship on your side.

People seem to be missing the concept that turrets are currently only geared for larger ships with low maneuverability at the current juncture. I really hope CIG manages to fix their viability on smaller vessels, but barring that the Polaris seems to be about the minimum size for turret viability. Even a Hull-C probably moves too quickly for them to properly target.

The beautiful thing about Operation Pitchfork is that it loses even if it wins. The already overexerted UEE military will have to move forward to defend unfeasible territory, fortify it, and try to hold it against a now enraged Vanduul force. At best, Operation Pitchfork will last until every member has been killed trying to defend the retaken territory, at worst it won't even make it that far, just leading to a massive Vanduul counter strike on UEE space.

No matter what happens the possibilities are far too tempting for a writer and far-reaching to ignore.

Depends. Both iterations had the same role, a multi-purpose scout frigate. Main difference was size, cargo space, and drive core strength. Both had some maneuverability in the right hands, not as much as something smaller but it was fast. I'd say either the Imperial Clipper or Cutter. Even have a similar silhouette.

Battlestar is a generic Sci-Fi term, Just the word used to define the differerences between:
"Battle Carriers"/Battlestars - Balance of Gunnery Fightercraft Surivivability and Speed
Battleships - Firepower and Armor at the espense of speed and all fightercraft.
Pure Carriers - Speed and Fighters with little armor and defensive weapons only.
Battlecruisers - Guns and Speed at the expense of protection

Most Sci-Ci Cap ships fit into one of those categories.Though actually Pegasus isn't any of those, its an escort carrier more of a size with a cruiser.

Everybody will say the Bengal, but you might have a different feel because it's a dedicated carrier with an huuuuge canon turret below
While the Battlestar was a fortress with lot of smaller canon and a few fighters to spice it up.

For comparison this is the Pegasus

The stretchgoal also included a "CRUISER", considering how secret CIG kept the Javelin I expect them to hide this cruiser to literally BLOW OUR MIND later.
That or it actually didn't go beyond the concept phase and they would be very embarrassed to admit it

You're lucky RNGesus didn't take the opportunity to spawn a few faction NPCs at the same time. In one instance I had a Shield, a Guardian, a Sentinel and a Kumo Crew all jump in to a RES and open fire on me while bounty hunting.

>Females in spess when?

I cant wait to play a game where 60%+ of the people in it are women even though the game is all about combat and violence, just like every other mmo, just because you neckbeards are fucking weirdos who like to roleplay as the opposite sex and they gave you the option to do that

please tell me this isnt happening

>>162550909

I really hope all the weapon sounds are placeholder because god damn this is Wet Noodle: The Game.

All the ballistic weapons sound like 9mm when they should sounds terrifying within a ship, can you image the sound a ship would make when you fire a ballistc weapon? All that energy smashing against the hull both while firing and receiving it. Even IRL lasers that are powerful enough sound awesome so why the fuck they decided to go for Sunday Cartoon pewpewpew lasers is beyond me.

>>162550909
>I cant wait to play a game where 60%+ of the people in it are women even though the game is all about combat and violence


:bigthink:

>>162555883
ED has pretty good weapon sounds, save for the railguns. I feel the impacts are weak, though. You can't even tell you're being hit sometimes. Cannon rounds don't shake the ship, plasma doesn't hiss, lasers just crackle and pop...it doesn't feel visceral enough. A smaller craft needs to be tossed around by HV or HE rounds and I think it should resonate in the cockpit a bit.

>>162555883
I think the EVA gun sound effects are fine, but I agree that the interior ones are weak.

Imagine firing an M5 inside of a submarine, that's what it should sound like.

>>162555709
I was referring to its blue collar aesthetic

>>162556551
EVA is fine because its 'simulated' and having muffed shots in space sounds right

But when it comes to pressurized cockpits+ship weapons it should be like thunder going off, shaking metal and glass alike. For handheld weapons in pressurized areas it should also be much louder than it is now.

It adds a lot of gameplay immersion when the guns sound powerful enough, gives you 'OH SHIT' moments that make you duck and cover.

>>162556954
>having muffed shots in space sounds right
No it doesn't unless it's your own gun.

>>162546814
didn't they just showcase different amounts of reverb depending on the surroundings in the most recent AtV? Maybe it isn't in yet.

>>162547443
the PU space music is great.

But the music transition certainly needs more smoothening.

>>162572217
Big ships need turrets for operations. No way you're parking a Cat on a pad in Kareah...not a chance. You'll have to park outside and EVA in.

The only thing better than turrets in an operational situation, like a Reclaimer reclaiming something, is 2 or 3 wingmen who have your back.

Huh, turns out the extra guns on top of the Cat cockpit are mounted on some sort of small turret instead of on gimbals.

there will probably be free dragonflys laying around to be stolen in 3.0

>>162579052
It will be a small pink and white space Vespa with a max speed of 10 bundled together with a matching pink bicycle helmet to wear on top of your regular helmet.

It will sell for about $295.

Turrets are required on big ships or you'll never do any damage to a fighter class ship or a SLF one if you don't get the jump on them. Even if you get the jump on them if you don't kill them immediately they'll be out of your view for the rest of the fight.
The small hardpoints especially should be turrets. The damage difference between aim-type on Class 1's is negligible compared to bigger hardpoints.

Gonna be honest, I can afford this only thanks to 17 draconis, and have no idea what I should equip it with. Could you walk me through what's good and what's not in this game?

Honestly, I would love to buy and install Elite just to own that ship, but then I remember hearing about how much bullshit I would have to grind through just to get it. And there are no cheat codes in that singleplayer-forced-into-a-MMO so I can't just spawn the fucking thing to skip the grind. Nor is there a cash shop selling ships so I can't just pay-2-skip like most f2p MMOs do, thanks dads! Fucking idiots!

>>162583294
You'll usually want the turrets to be Lasers, Beams have higher burst but eat your energy fast while Bursts have consistent damage.
You'll probably want your Huge Hardpoints to be Fixed, use them for ships as big as you.
