Accommodating everyone makes for shitty bland games. It's one of the major complaints in modern gaming.

EVE online has no PvP slider and has had a stable population for 13 years.

Yeah, flying through space without any risk is definitely not bland. I hate to use the Dad meme, but you are one.
>>
>>162693520
Chris Roberts has spent like the last 30 years of his life trying to make one specific game.

Every time he's tried, either the technology wasn't there or he got slapped by publishers.

Star Citizen is his chance to let his autism loose. He cannot be stopped, and he doesn't care what you think.
>>
>>162695182
>without any risk
There are NPC risks. The PVP slider isn't something to make the game bland, but to give people the chance to avoid idiots. That's always a good thing.

There's plenty of PVP in GTAV Online, and a passive mode. It's an active AAA game that successfully gave people the option to play any way they want to.

3.0, March at the earliest.
>>
GIVE ME 3.0
REEEEEEEEE
>>
To me it feels like at the current rate of progress, 4.0 will be another 2 years away at least. I think 6-7 months is optimistic for 3.0. Then there's another 3 patches after that.

I think this will get rationalized and shills saying "But AAA games take 6-7 years to make!"

It's all very well saying their pipelines are being set up and that they can make stuff quickly but we're not getting any content for long periods of time. What makes it worse is they keep promising things soon and then they get release to evocati in a barely functioning state. I mean don't QA get these builds and think "Wow this really isn't working at all?"

Another leak like the last one would be so beneficial to put people at ease with where they stand with internal progress.
>>
>>162695929
6-7 months for 3.0?
nigga you crazy????
I give them time til march, else imma kms and vanish my daddyexistence outta this world
>>
>>162695929
>6-7 months
There's pessimism, and then there's retardation.
>>
>>162696615
A 2-3 month delay for 2.6.
A confirmation from CR that patches will be 2-3 months apart after 2.6.
A track record of constant missed deadlines.
A broken engine with 50/50 custom/legacy code.

Is it beyond ridiculous to believe they will be a dozen weeks behind schedule after their next patch is due?
>>
>>162696874
You know very little of the content in 3.0 depends on 2.6, right?

2.6 was largely held back by animations related to Star Marine. 3.0 probably isn't going to add many new animations.

While specific development teams have been working on Star Marine, the rest of them have been working on planets, etc.

We know cargo has been functional on a basic level for a long time, and we've seen from the two demos in fucking August that planets and terrestrial gameplay is very much playable. The difference between these things and Star Marine is that they didn't outsource them, and they're not going to scrap everything and start over.

CIG likely has two branches major branches going right now. One for 2.6 and one for 3.0. It's going to take a substantial amount of time to integrate the changes from 2.6 into 3.0 properly. It's going to take a substantial amount of time for artists to create the various planets in Stanton. Chris said patches would be 2 months apart, and obvious that's not going to happen. More likely, it's going to take 3-4 months.

Not trying to be a dad here, but saying that it'll take them 7 fucking months to get 3.0 out the door is moronic.
>>
>>162697456
Not who you're arguing with, but consider that Chris Roberts has apparently decided that the PU needs fully voiced and performance acted quest givers, and consider that the homestead demo was 100% hand-placed meaning they likely have no system in place to randomly generate planetary missions.
>>
>>162697456
god bless your soul
>>162697667
your pessimism is ridiculous
you might end your life right now
>>
>>162697667
I expect planetary content to be just as sparse as missions in 2.0 were, honestly. But I'm fine with that.
>>
>>162697667
>Homestead demo

Wouldn't they have done that just to have complete control, instead of risking it on any unfinished or buggy systems?

Most recent "pvp slider" info from CR here: https://youtu.be/g4UaUmJ8Ho8?t=293
He talks mainly about the differences between monitored and unmonitored space (more on this is coming in 3.0), then:
>we may possibly have some level of a slider in terms of being interdicted by AI or other players if you're travelling somewhere, so it's not too dissimilar to what was originally envisioned, but we're trying to get as many people as possible into the same space
Seems like more of an afterthought now.

If he is trolling he is the best imitator of a bitter and envious failed indie dev the world has ever seen.
If he is trolling he would be the world's greatest troll. He is simultaneously more dedicated and focused on this epic long-con than anyone I have ever known. The man is literally wasting his life away railing against something he has zero control over.

I don't think he is trolling. I think he's literally obsessed with SC, because he can't comprehend that it could succeed. Partially because of his own failures, partially because of his personality. He probably sees his intentions as noble, because if you can't comprehend why people would be giving CIG money, campaigning for people to get refunds would seem noble to you. He might even think that after SC inevitably implodes, people will flood to his own game (Line of Defence), which would never happen. Some would go back to other games (E:D, EVE, PS2 even), but nobody would play that piece of shit.

A spacebike is a useless expendable toy that you pick up for a trivial sum of credits and lose every other time you fly it.

Yeah I don't remember it much either but apparently they did.
Anyway, what does it matter.

In my opinion, two separate server types is a big deal. The simple existence of a 'PvP Server' automatically invalidates 90% of carebear whining. Rolling on a PvP is consent to PvP.

You could do this with a 'slider' but the major problem here is that what these 'non PvPers' do will affect the PvP players. If you had two severs, I bet you the outlook of regions and politics would be VERY different.

For the good of everyone's enjoyment these two types of players need to be separated.

*for the good of the carebears. CR gives no fucks and will make them deal, I think. don't forget that this is not like a typical mmo in that the story is 100% dictated by the writers and future content is set in stone; they want players to influence the world, and if vastly different player trends are occurring in two different realms, that means twice the content they need to account for, unless they want to jarringly wedge in historical events to the lore based on things that half the playerbase never experienced.

hasn't yet. so far he's fully ignored their pleas, first giving them a dismissive bit of lip service in the form of a slider (that it took them years to figure out was basically nonfunctional by design) and then abandoning even that idea for the forseeable future.

The most dadvsmagiccomputerbots they will go is have basic enforced space and maybe a toggle to share server shard with like minded dust old bones, but that wont prevent pvp when one of them old men get mad and attack the other,

99% sure whatever those complex electronic objects are will have a function. if you expect any ship that isnt a fighter to be feature complete inside a year you're wrong. worse case scenario, nobody throws an autistic fit about the "decorations" and they remain decorative / dealwithit.jpg

The tractor beam is on the right wing and is for pushing cargo around.

yeah, and that isnt something that will be functional for a very long time. so there isnt shit in the way of tracotr beams yet. the ship is new and completely unfinished, so theres all the time in the world for them to make it whatever they want

point being if people freak out about it, they can make the objects up front into whatever people whine about them not being yet
>>
>>162739986
>that isnt something that will be functional for a very long time
They demonstrated an early version of it on an ATV months ago, and cargo interaction is coming in 3.0. Whether this will include tractor beams is yet to be seen, but those things on the front are parking sensors, not tractor beams. They have the words "parking sensor" written on them. There is no place to operate a frontal beam from, unlike the side beam which has a dedicated viewing/operation position.

They're not fucking tractor beams.

I'll be laughing hard if people use the PvP slider to full PvE because fearless NPC pirates are more challenging and rewarding than killing wanabe pirate.
I'll be laughing even more if you need the PvP slider because pirates always get blacklisted and automatic instancing would isolate them as griefer in no time

Elite suffer because the developers listen to morons who would love a PvP slider but are too stupid & egocentric to admit it.

The most frustrating thing about the pvp slider idea is that the way CIG appears to be setting things up 90% of ganks will happen under 3 circumstances;
A. You weren't paying attention and let sketchy cunts get too close.
B. You decide to turn and fight when interdicted instead of hauling ass out of the devices range and spooling back up.
C. You were interdicted by pirates who set up well and executed their attack with speed and precision.

The first two are pilot error and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the third. Babies complaining about pvp need to go play anything out of the 97% of games that suck your dick for existing as the protagonist. Earn your head-cannon faggots.

I would however like to see shields function so that when two ship shields come into contact the one (or both) moving over a certain speed threshold breaks just so we can watch ramshitters disintegrate against the side of our ships. This probably won't be as much of an issue once larger shield sizes and power allocation comes into play however.

You are the one who don't get something much more fundamental.
In PvP you must have 50% chance of losing or winning so a game don't cater to griefer or people with aggressiveness disorder
In PvE you can have 90% of winning yet never feel like the game is making it easy for you. In fact CR could simply troll you fair and auto-balance Npc pirate to kill you 50% of the time.

The PvP slider is simply taking the best of two worlds. Slider to PvE for those who don't want to deal with griefer or a particular meta-game like an Orgs killing everybody near a interesting place. Slider to PvP if you dare pirates to attack you.

There's no reason to be against that PvP sliders unless you don't understand it or have some autistic need to be witnessed as you blow yourself up on another players.

That's retarded. Your chance of winning in an encounter will vary wildly depending on disparity of skill and equipment.

And you don't even have to fight. Running is a viable and encouraged tactic.

If you were paying attention you'd see that I mentioned ramming being an issue in the current alpha build and I would love to see shitters punished for it eventually. Maybe there'll be at fault insurance deductibles or some nonsense.

Check this out goto your billing section on the website and try from a apple product and cancle your subscription when you do it ask you for your password to cancle but it wont let you put your password in it.....

>>162751529
As of now it's pretty underwhelming but they could easily apply the process by which the station shuts down your weapon systems to your shields and engines, leaving you to ready up for a last stand as the resident marines come to arrest your life.

Yes, NPCs on each station combat ready and after the station EMPs your ship, they board it and arrest you.

If you have an actually combat ready Anaconda loadout you should have at the least 4,500+ effective shields through 2x 6A SCBs + 7A Shield Generator + 2x A Shield Boosters.
No amount of Cobras should "rape" you in any reasonable amount of time.

I was trying to decide between a Freelancer and Connie Taurus and didn't like either one of them. Freelancer was too big for the cargo room it has, and it looks like a deformed penis.

Something big enough for multicrew, but not so big that 2 people cant have fun with it.

Eh chances are it might be the ship, in Dog fighting with the Alpha its going to be pretty damn hard cause you're lacking weapon hardpoints. If you're doing AC be sure to rent better weapons like Longswords, or even possibly a Mass Driver. The ship is nimble enough to where you can lock the turret mount and practice on that.

>wtf are you supposed to do when you fall into white dwarf exclusion zone?

Well first of all that's not what an exclusion zone is. The exclusion zone of a stellar body is the range at which your sublight engines won't allow you to get any closer for "safety" reasons. You crash out of supercruise at the impact/emergency drop range, then if you try to continue traveling towards the body in realspace you will eventually hit the exclusion zone and get no closer.

>>162728531

If you're in realspace inside one of the cones formed by the polar jets then don't even bother trying to maneuver until your FSD cooldown is over. In the meantime if you have an AFMU, use it to repair the FSD and/or thrusters as much as possible. Remember to leave your FSD enough time to boot back up by the time the cooldown finishes. Make sure to select a nearby system from your right panel by then as well. Do not attempt to escape back to supercruise if you crashed out from proximity. You're liable to be thrown right back into the star and crash out again.

Begin charging your FSD as soon as it's ready to go. While it's charging, try to get yourself oriented in at least the target's general direction. Once the FSD is charged you can finally make a real effort to aim at the destination and hammer boost. If done correctly the countdown will start as soon as the boost throws you forward.

You can still supercruise out then back in to respawn the skimmers. Slower, but it would still be more CR/hr than anything else once missions start raining again.

Holy shit THANK YOU, CIG for GRACING us with the GIFT that is the 2.6 update. THANK CHRIST ROBERTS that they might actually release a patch ON TIME! What a way to end the year. And on top of that, we get to watch two teams of greasy dads duke it out in a FPS controller shitfest. AND we get a new .jpg ship for us to buy to show our support for these practices!

I honestly love CIG's relative openness and Star Citizen but it almost seems like CIG is laughing in our faces at how much they can diss the community and still have us suck them off for it afterwards. After the abortion that was Citizencon, I would at least expect something more than a repeat of the last shitty livestream to finish off the year but some guy on 4chan told me I should be grateful for the mere concept that CIG might actually release a patch on time.

>falling for the "small animation issues" jew
It's an obvious ploy by CIG to cover up deeper underlying problems with the game. They alluded to AI also being a problem but I'd speculate that their entire AI system as well as Subsumption is in complete disarray or at least not anywhere close to the level they need it to be for their game design.

There's a reason why we haven't seen AI in any real form in the game/in demos aside from of course basic NPC ship combat.
>>
>>162788046
Fuck, I didn't see an update drop, so I guess this is something they can change server-side?

If that's the case though, that's a pretty big deal as it affects all combat logging. Won't be long until someone finds a way to exploit it, I mean it's a free trip back to your last docked station without losing your ship, which means without losing exploration data, cargo, or missions that fail on ship destruction. You can do assassination missions now in half the time by just combat logging right as the target dies.

Gonna go try this out, was about to do a shakedown run in my new Anaconda and SLF anyway.

Yes. Initially it was supposed to have less cargo (internal and external), but that never made it into the game for some reason. I suspect it was another of Bens "miscommunications".

It's not limited to just a space bus though, it can carry 2 smaller carts and has quite a lot of cargo if you remove the seating.
It's a very good solo ship in my opinion, having the option to go cargo/personnel transport for money or a support role in a fleet (albeit poorly) if you're a lone player seems pretty decent.

Also looks very cool

Holy shit.

I'd bet money that FD forgot they gave SLFs infinite armor piercing
eg: with all fixed pulse lasers vs unmodified Corvette: FDL DPS = 16.5. Taipan DPS = 44.
>>
>>162802282

The Federal Assault Ship is getting three size 4 military slots.

The Fer-De-Lance is getting fucking zero.

Curiously though the Type-9 now has 864 armor and some as-yet-undisclosed huge hardness value so small/med fire will probably bounce right off it.

Whoever said beam laser SLFs were ridiculous in a previous thread, holy shit you weren't kidding. These things are amazing. I just got an Anaconda and all I want to do is fly the fighter now.

I've noticed hired crew always has power distribution reset to equal when I switch back. They also don't seem to use SCBs. Is this be design or due to their rank? I hired Novice and they're Competent now.

>>162803529
Not that anon but I'm somewhat close to Sol. I might be interested in winging up depending on what you're doing.
>>
>>162803927
I think higher ranked ones do but for now just stack Boosters over SCBs.
>>
>>162804007
Thanks, will do. Is the same true for chaff/ecm/heat sinks? I just got into this part of the game and everything I find when searching is either from when it was in beta or from a few patches ago.

Looks like I'll be redoing my build around a crew pilot, designed to tank as much as possible while still dealing enough damage to help and aggro the target off my fighter.

Are any of the non-beam fighters even worth it? The gimbaled beam condor is amazing. I also have the fixed pulse condor and it doesn't seem like it's doing nearly as much damage even though its DPS is much higher. The fixed beam fighters must be insane.
>>
>>162804836
Fixed Beams are ridiculous. If you get a Taipan with them its pretty damn easy to aim them too.
>>
>>162804978
>If you get a Taipan with them its pretty damn easy to aim them too.

I was thinking the Imperial Fighter would be easiest to aim since it's the most maneuverable?

Kinda leaning towards just getting one of each though since I have a class 6 hangar.
>>
>>162804836
>Is the same true for chaff/ecm/heat sinks?

The higher the NPC's rank the better they do pretty much everything. Expert and down (so basically any rank you can hire outright) is going to be pretty stupid in combat. They don't start getting proficient at using defenses until Master/Dangerous.

One bit of an exception is their accuracy with railguns. Because the AI code for aiming those is a little too clinical they're eerily accurate with them at any rank. And since rank experience runs on an exponential scale you're better off hiring them at harmless for the lower pay scale as they rank up. Expert->Master or above is a tedious slog but getting a harmless NPC up to Expert is a cake walk.

>The gimbaled beam condor is amazing

The Condor has garbage lateral thrusters though, which makes running its fixed variants pretty ineffective since you can't stay pointed right at the target while strafing around in their blind sports.
>>
>>162805590
>you're better off hiring them at harmless for the lower pay scale as they rank up
Yeah I figured this out, but hired at Novice, now at Competent. Not sure if I should fire them and restart with Harmless or just deal with the 2% difference or whatever it will make in the end.

Definitely going to drop a rail gun in the Huge hardpoint though, maybe the larges as well. If not I'll probably swap those out for more turrets since the AI doesn't have to aim them.
>>
>>162805963
>Rail in Huge and Large
Ehhhh I wouldn't do that, its kind of a waste. Much better to put a Gimballed MC or Laser in those slots, they'll use those with less effort required.
Your Class 2s and 1s though? Go for it.
>>
>>162805395

The iFighter is maneuverable to the point of being squirrely. It takes a little getting used to before you stop overshooting the aiming reticle.

But honestly all the SLFs roll/pitch so well that their maneuverability should never pose any issue with aiming fixed weapons.

It's worth noting that railgun damage kind of polarizes fighter durability, and AIs are uncannily accurate with those. A single medium railgun hit will one-shot an iFighter in virtually every situation. The Condor will survive one but may be crippled. The Taipan will also survive one but is less likely to be crippled, and if its shields recharge before it's hit again it can withstand two such hits.
>>
>>162806053
>>162805963
The Larges however can take Turret Lasers or Cannons only, not multicannons and the Huge doesn't have Turret options. So the Huge will have to be Gimballed.
>>
>>162805963

Aim is the one thing AIs are actually pretty good at even at low ranks because of computer accuracy, and they don't simulate human response time so their reflexes are instantaneous (big reason why they're so effective with rails, which have a firing delay but are hitscan once they go off)

Also rails only go up to medium size.

Son, we live in a world that has games, and those games have to be written by men with skills. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Wine-berg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for 2.6 and you curse the Devs. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that 2.6's delay, while tragic, probably saved time. And it's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves time! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that team. You need me on that team. We use words like "coding", "building", "debugging". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent developing something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very worlds that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide them! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a keyboard, and man a cubicle. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Systems hosting community goals, newbie systems, LYR outfitting systems or exploit-of-the-month systems.

CG and exploit systems won't have juicy traders to griff since they're all in solo mode, but they will be teeming with PVPers who went there hoping to find said traders to griff.

>>162807935

There are some PVP groups that have little battles, usually 1 on 1 at a time while others watch. Not sure where to find them these days though.

Alternatively you can hop on twitch and try to find someone streaming that's in open, then see if you can stream snipe them. There are plenty of opportunities to see what system they're in, but you'll have to wait for them to go to the game menu to see if they're in open or solo, or just straight up ask in chat.

Bonus points if you record their stream at the same time and post it here.

>Are the packages likely to get better with time?
no, they will get worse
>>
>>162839093
Either wait for release or ONLY buy a starter ship package like the LN or avenger.

t. Cuck 500 dollars in the hole
>>
>>162839093
Depends what you want to get out of it.

If you want an immersive space MMO, that's not gonna happen for a long time.

If you want to fly around and dogfight or race, then you're all set buy a package right now.

If you want to shoot niggas in an FPS, wait until Star Marine comes out in 2.6, which should either be tomorrow, possible next week, or in January.

In any case, if you really think you wanna play the game, considering buying a game package now anyway. That way you'll still be able to play, practice, and git gud.

The base game package (with the Mustang or Aurora) will probably be $45 forever, but if you want any of the other ships, they'll only get more expensive over time. They're cheaper right now to encourage early adoption.

Once the game goes live, you won't be able to buy ships with real money anymore. You'll still be able to buy in-game credits with real money, but the amount you can buy per month will be limited, and buying a ship right now would still be a better deal.

They get worse. Decreasing insurance periods from lifetime during kickstarter, to now only during concept sales and after that it's gone down to 2 or 3 month periods.
>>
>>162833359
Pulses have best damage-per-energy, resulting in best sustained DPS once you've run down the WEP cap. Bursts have neither good DPS nor good DPE and beams have no engineer mods that increase damage output. Pulse with rapid fire or overcharged is the only viable choice assuming you're not a scrub-tier pilot who can't stay on target.

All of this is changing in 2.2.03 though. Bursts to become DPE king and beams to get real mods.

Its not that bad, m8
>>
>>162848692
I mean, it's not a travesty, but I can see what >>162848423 finds bad.

At a glance it looks fine, but look at that hand grip that's way below the trigger grip. It would make it intensely uncomfortable to try and aim with those sights.

Now the only way I can imagine it working is if all the odd and silly clips down there are actually securing it in place and it actually swivels out, in which case you're putting fingers closer to DANGER LASERS.

It's not that the gun's design sucks, it's just I gotta wonder how much damn work this is making for their animation team.
>>
>>162849651
Exactly the same deal as a Kriss; lower foregrip than pistol grip.

Nothing wrong with that, its not uncomfortable at all.
>>
>>162849651
Now I've triggered my gun autism and can't let it be...

Christ, I know strangers on the internet aren't a hugely scientific basis for ergonomics, but just trying to put my hands in position to shoulder something like that either and it's either you drive your rest your right shoulder on the inside of your left jaw, or you fire it from your chest, in which case you hold it like a baby with recoil.

It's a cool gun, but I'm going to have to see it in game before I'll stop making fun of it.

>>162850058
Hold on now the Kriss's foregrip might be lower, but it's parallel and (by appearances) proportionally further away.

This gun has a low, angled foregrip. It would almost be better to hold the front cupped from below.

I mean, this is science fiction; an energy submachine gun could have negligible recoil, but then the shoulder-butt doesn't make a lot of sense.

Don't get me wrong I'm not going to go REEE about it; but it's kinda silly looking. The rest of the gun is pretty okay

Its REALLY fine. There are guns with smaller distances between grips, and with more difference between their heights. Cheek wield is standard for a compact weapon, and would be alleviated by an optic.

>>
>>162839093
If you think there's a chance you'll shell out for an expensive ship and whatever they put on concept sale tomorrow is sub-$70 I'd get it for the lifetime insurance and upgrade it into whatever you really want. In case you're unaware, you lose no value in the act of melting and upgrading pledges for example if you wanted a $110 freelancer you could take your cheaper ship with LTI and upgrade it to the freelancer for the difference in cost between the two ships while keeping the original ship's insurance level. This way you'd end up with the same ship for the same amount of money with lifetime insurance instead of 6 months. We don't yet know how much insurance levels matter however but it will likely be more significant the larger and more expensive the ship.
Even if that doesn't sound appealing this should serve as a decent intro to the LTI meme if you're new.

I don't think you can get the later year wreaths if you have an earlier year wreath. I think they look the same in-game too.

Sounds like you fell for the corvette meme, pal. It's basically just a glorified Anaconda with a real shitty jump range, less DPS, slightly better shields, worse armor, and slightly better agility by exactly 3 degrees per second.

Just to be clear here, Egosoft are utter hacks that happened to release Xbtf in a time where the space game genre pretty much died. Look at their other games before that, it was all just trash.
Xbtf -> Xtension was an addon that allowed you to fly more ships
Xtension -> X2 was a graphics and feature update of Xtension with pretty much the same gameplay overall
X2 -> X3 was a graphics and feature update with again pretty much the same gameplay
X3 -> X3TC was a standalone addon with a ton of user mods made official
X3TC -> X3AP was a cash-in, again pretty much just mods made official and a bit of X Rebirth advertising

So basically we have this shitty company that for 10 years hasn't made anything but additions to the same game from 2001 with half of these being user mods, of course when they suddenly had to make a complete new game they turned out to be clueless bumbling idiots.

And for the uninitiated, the average starter guide for an X game looks like this:
>sell all your weapons and shields and addons and your ship then buy a freighter and buy and sell [goods] for a tiny profit margin which means you have to do 2000 runs to buy something worthwhile with every run being 20 minutes because you're in a slow ass freighter and completely vulnerable to everything
Their remedy for that in X3 and TC was to "hide" fully equipped ships in various parts of the world which pretty much lets you skip the early game.

The fact that this company still exists is a travesty

I'm not sure but I think completing sq42 will make you "ex-military" in the PU, probably a reputation boost and some back-pay. I don't think it implies a whole lot of material bonuses but I think someone discussed the possibility of getting to keep or be entitled to purchase your F7A Hornet if you do really well and acheive "ace" status but we know very little about sq42 and the PU is so far away that it could end up completely different.
>>
>>162878295
In case this is not trolling, S42 was said to be "flashbacks" so what someone did in S42 would gain them things in the PU. SO while you dont have to play S42 before SC, doing so gives you stuff. ANd as they expand S42 episode you suddenly gain more stuff. How that is going to work in the game without being a clusterfuck is anyones guess.

>>162874785
I like to lock them in on approach, unleash the dakka then launch them right as I pull away if the dakka was insufficient. Usually that leaves them like half a second at most to dodge or deploy countermeasures also use strike missles because proximity missiles don't "hit" the target so much as explode next to them. If you're using those send them in just ahead of you to pull down shields, rattlers are particularly good at this. Basically just try to reduce the warning time your enemy has or keep him occupied with a hail of fire while your missile zeroes in.

Beam lasers a boring game ruining shit. Literally a point and click adventure.

And whats wrong with ballistics? They take the limitation of requiring ammo as the cost of being able to deliver massive kinetic energy that cannot simple be captured redirected or ablated away the way thermal, photon, plasma or particle beam weapons can. Ballistics must be avoided or withstood that cannot be spoofed, that's a definite niche for them to live in.

In SC, is the plan for all player owned ships to be able to land on planets when you visit a city/hub or will you have to dock in orbit and then take a transport down?

The Javelin is the biggest one as far as I know at 340m and that seems a bit large for planet side landings
>>
>>162902502
Last I heard the Idris is the biggest ship that can land on planets. It will need a fuckhuge landing zone or a big flat chunk of terraint to land properly though.
>>
>>162900620
I really enjoy my Python. Just....don't hit atmo too steep on even a moderate G world. First time I tried landing it I ended up in a flat spin because I pulled too tight of a turn during glide and it was unrecoverable.

Now everything's smooth as silk and she's armed to the teeth. It goes anywhere and can haul anything. I just wish she could equip a fighter bay.

Probably unlikely you're going to be docking your javelin in the middle of a city hub.

Probably need to take down an Argo or something.
>>
>>162903160
Seen that, very cool but it's still quite a small ship. And it's a big open planet. I was thinking more like city hub landings, as >>162903659 said, it seems unlikely that there'd be 300-500m landing pads and clear enough skies for landing the biggest ships in the cities.

The caterpillar already uses the biggest landing pad on port Olisar and it's only a bit longer than 100m
