Still not sure what do do ship-wise now that the proper sale is coming up in 3 days. I have a LTI Cutlass and Razor plus 85 store credits I could shuffle around. Basically I'm still just looking for a way to get rid of those store credits and end up with something somewhat useful. I'm eyeing the Avenger, but after playing around with it for a bit on PTU I can't say I'm a fan of how it performs. Plus the cockpit and interior needs work.

copied from leedit

"The first SQ42 titled screenshot by OP shows the moon Gainey located in the Odin System and one of the planned destinations of the first chapter of SQ42.

The other screenshot 2 shows the landing zone Lorville on the planet Hurston.

The other shots are nothing to write home about, as they follow seemingly the theme form the screenshots that got posted with the monthly report."

if this patch runs smooth, they will go live in a few hours.

you should probably kill yourself.

>>163546681
Most of the planets are empty anyway, so they can build them in a relatively short time with the procedurally assisted tools F42 Frankfurt keeps building. For surface outposts and stations/satellites they're developing a system of modular components that can just be lego'd together.

>>163547081
yes, and

>>163546868
Basically this. Procedural Generation should be a filler tool, not a content tool like what ED/NMS has done.

CIG already had full access.

>>163548543
It's not open source. It's free to use, but any games published with it are required to use Amazon web services only. It's a better deal than UT4 if you don't need networking and matchmaking, aka single player.

There are a lot of different software companies at play here. You can get AWS without Lumberyard pretty easy, CIG wouldn't need it for that. Lumberyard does have a pretty good realtime editor that they are more likely using. You can make changes in realtime and it's pretty neat to play with.

On that note, I love the new missile rack sizing system. XYZ with X=hardpoint size, Y=number of missiles and Z=missile size.
A single missile requires a hardpoint of the same size, upping the hardpoint size by 1 doubles the number of missiles.

Also, remember to buy all the missiles in Voyager Direct while they're free.

Apparently it was a straightforward "1 to 1" conversion since Lumberyard is based on the newest version of Cryengine and the entire port over is already finished.
Apparently.

>Not even capable of running two matches in a row

I've been playing this shit all day. Occasionally lose connection, but nothing at all what you're trying to shitpost about.

>>163557979
Not him. You can get all that shit through in game money. There's no reason to pay real money.

>>163557979
Well yes, but there's a difference between buying a ship that you can actually use and upgrade etc. when the game is out vs. a bunch of horribly overpriced equipment that has already been confirmed several times to be low-end.

How does buying torpedoes work? The site seems to list that you only get two. So is it really implying if i want to fully load my Tali itll cost me 420$?

>>163558009
Given how much CIG likes to talk about how heavily modified their Cryengine is (50 percent I think they said?) this means one of two things:

1: They were lying about how much work they did
2: They are lying about porting it all over

>>163558052

No, this number is severely inflated. This stat is the number of accounts created on the RSI website, not the number of unique pledgers. In fact, we don't actually know how many unique people have actually backed the game--we only know how many ships have been bought.

I think the game is a little bit over ambitious. You will need a fucking NASA super computer to run this thing.

There was an alpha version during which Roberts let anyone play several ships for free. I tried a bit of pvp in the PTU (some jump point with some kind of abandoned station) and the only kills I got was from bumping my ship into others. The lag was such that I could barely aim and I constantly saw targets "phasing out" due to lag.

Also, so much fucking detail! Who the hell needs mugs of coffee and fancy furniture/toilets in the damn ship?

The more I look at the new missile racks the more confused I am. There are 616 racks despite no S6 missiles existing, several S5 racks despite no ship having S5 missile hardpoints and several 6XX racks you can't use on the only ship with S6 hardpoints (Gladiator) because you can't remove the stock 625.
And not only that, but people can buy them right now without any word that they can't even use them.

The difference is that, when buying a concept ship it says that it's exactly that. The whole point of VD/rental is the ability for players to buy equipment they can put on their ships right now.
Sure, they can sell the things I mentioned above, but should at least mention that they can't be used right now. Otherwise some people are going to end up spending actual money, then whining about it. Which is kind of their fault in a way, but it's something that could be avoided easily.

I've spent a total of $50 on this game.

I really want to get a Cutlass Black but I'm afraid of kinda cutting away the feeling of actually obtaining one by playing.

It's kinda like playing vanilla WoW in 2006 for the first time where you actually had to level the whole way enjoying every second of it.
After your first few 60s, it got boring ofc, but I feel like buying a more expensive ship than an Aurora/Avenger/Mustang is like starting a WoW character at lvl 20 when it's your first time playing. It kinda cuts out the first 20 lvls where you actually had to learn to survive with lesser equipment and possibilites.

For me it's important to start with some low-end stuff.

Think of the feel you get after flying around 30 hours of gametime doing missions in a crappy Aurora MR or something and then have enough money to buy that Gladius or Cutlass that you have been drooling about all the time.

If I pledge for a Constellation or Cutlass right now I feel I have to spend 100s of hours to get a ship that's a "level" over that again, like a Reclaimer, Idris etc..

I wish they would be less bullshitty about this news. CIG couldnt even properly merge the original Star Marine branch how did they come back in line with the latest AWS customized CryEngine?

Or did have they just been pulling in the Lumberyard AWS integrations into StarEngine?

I cant tell if this is cool or really scary.

One bad note, this means if private servers ever actually exist we are pretty much forced to use AWS for hosting. It says "yeah you can host this on your own hardware" but that doesnt mean shit if Star Citizen is only designed to run with AWS services.

Thats the whole point of Amazon releasing lumberyard. Its a hook to pull people into hosting on AWS.

>>163570683
I'm quite certain they mentioned that their engine is set up in a way that still allows them to slot updates to Cryengine itself into it with relative ease. I can imagine the wizards in the Frankfurt office pulling something like that off.

I see.

Did StarEngine become some kind of CryEngine 4.0?

I remember CIG showed some demo's a few years ago where it was marked CryEngine 3.5.2 or something.

>>163570636
Lumberyard is a branch of Cryengine 3.8, same as what Star Engine is based on.

>>163570683
They couldn't integrate the original star marine because the geometry was all off with the models, it was some fuck up between cig and those contractors that made it. Point is it wasn't networking related.

When they say they have been gutting the engine in regards to networking I think they mean rewriting it for a custom system which of course they needed since nothing had been done before like this. This custom network system might have been easily adaptable to this Lumberyard thing or just been replaced entirely. Either way whatever all the basic backend stuff ia now in place for them to build off. All the networking stuff people were antsy about has bewn sorted

AWS was exactly what they were referencing in that previous video. I worked for a VoIP telephone company that did it with Asterisk. They would stream live clients from one server to another as load changed and it would hand off from data center to data center. The idea was they would only pay for the heavy load they actually used, light volume would scale back tremendously and be cheap.

Only problem was, our peak time was everyone else's as well and sometimes it didn't shift over immediately, and everything would stop when an instance got hung between servers. Probably not Amazons fault, and when it worked it was transparent, but you were at the mercy of whenever Amazon decided it would work again.

That's the way cultists work, they support CIG regardless of their behavior. Back then it was a shit idea because it was a shit idea, today it is a good idea because CIG is doing it, that is literally how stupid cultists are.

People are voting because they don't realize the thread was necroed.

Is everyone else fucking retarded or something?
There was no major engine change just a minor update.

The only thing that changed was Crytek is no longer a thing and Amazon owns all of their IP.

Additionally this is by far the worst FPS I have ever played in my 15 + years of playing fps games.
Seems like CIG just said oh we can do a better job than illfonic and then realized that they actually had no idea what they where doing just like illfonic.

I expected nothing yet remain consistently disappointed by this shit.

I don't see anything about that in the news yet. Just that they're closing studios and not paying people, which is still shit.

Wait for star citizen release ;)

>complaining about an alpha that contains almost no polish, no optimization, and only a fraction of the features.

Come back in a year and check again.
Maybe you'll be right, but I'll wait until release or at least late 2017 before I judge anything.

You clearly has no business here.

>>163574631
google it
amazon wholesale bought their code base for like 60 million earlier this year

>>163573601

CIG forked CryEngine like 3-4 years ago.

AWS forked (took over) the latest version of CryEngine like a year ago for Lumberyard.

CIG says they are now using Lumberyard and somehow both engines are merged or something.

Chris, being horrible at explaining shit or being transparent, sent out an email that creates more questions than it answers and now fans, haters and clickbait websites are filling in blanks and yelling at each other.

Also, Australian redditors are mad because AWS doesnt have an AUS region I guess which is funny because yes it does.

>>163574674
go to your real job instead of this horrible simulation of one

>>163574723
They payed somewhere between 60-80 million for the source code to let CryTek pay employess.

Crytek is closing all offices that made those shitty minigames and not the head office which is doing the real work. The Frankfurt office.

Learn to read.

inb4 learn to write, I write shit english because it's not my main language.

>>163574631
remind me, what have i to be mad about?

>>163574723
Only articles I'm finding are from 2015 when amazon licensed Cryengine 3.

>>163574543
>The only thing that changed was Crytek is no longer a thing and Amazon owns all of their IP.
It should be noted that CIG owns their fork of Cryengine, though. So they don't have to do anything with Amazon, they just thought their network services were better.

Good question. I'm assuming it is your autism. Like I said, no human who isn't absolutely seething would ever type something like that.

Once again, kek.

>>163574806
>AWS forked (took over) the latest version of CryEngine
I'm quite certain that Lumberyard is based on 3.8.1. Star Engine is also based on some version of 3.8. Shouldn't be that much of an issue to get shit to work.

pure speculation on your part

Wew lad, have a snickers.

>>163575435
I must again express how sorry I am to have triggered you, not just in making fun of your cultish delusions but by having the sheer gall to not commit to the rigorous grammatical and punctuation standards of 4chan

please, dont get further triggered by this response (you will be)

>pure speculation on your part

what gave it away ?
the part where I said I bet you ?

The Super Hornet also has bigger missile hardpoints now. 2xS3 instead of 2xS2 for the regular one.

>>163575102
Thanks for article, though reading through it I saw absolutely nothing about them owning Crytek's IPs. Only thing involving Crytek was a comparison to Cryengine and licensing out 3.

>>163575545
Hey, I see that snickers helped you calm down. You're at least typing coherently now. It's a lot better than you slamming your head against the wall like you low functioning autists normally do.
