I would not be in a state of suspense if Star Citizen at one point in the forseable future gets help from CCP Games or forms a business deal and partnership to promote each other and assist in the economy and management of Star citzen :^)

>>164067934
think he was just talking about how easy it is to die from ballistic weapons despite the "advance technology" of the armor people wear.

Not that a small lore update on some advance ballistic round that counters said armor would cancel out this whole thing.

>>164068047
You would be shocked at how many "rival" companies partner with each other

take android and apple, most of apples phone parts are sourced by android phone makers excluding the CPU and OP itself.

Or even the amount of deals Nintendo has made with both Sony and M$ over the years.

the nice thing about the pirate "faction" is that there's no rules preventing you from murdering other pirates. if they can scrounge up enough to put a bounty on you that's about the extent of the repercussions you can expect to face. the way the lawful/criminal dichotomy is shaping up it may look like oppressive liberal empire on one side and full ancap stereotype on the other.

>>164069887
Wait for the new netcode, as thats the current bottleneck for the PU. Your hardware is largely irrelevant.

Unless you were talking AC singleplayer modes / SM, in which case get a non-shitty computer.

Taking a reductionist stance like yours, anyone could turn even the most action packed combat mission into a boring routine and exploration into a click-fest (See Elite Dangerous for that)

So you may suffer from a lack of imagination and a bad case of "my taste are better than yours".
Myself I can imagine a fun gameplay for the Genesis without asking for anything that can't be use for combat gameplay as well.

Anyone interested in grouping up and doing some Vanduul or Pirate Swarm? Everytime I try with rando's people either leave by wave 3 or its like wave 9 or 10 and I'm the last one left alive. Now, I think I'm decent-ish but I'm no where near good enough to carry a team for half the waves.

Seriously though, why is the majority of the community so incompetent? When I completed a game of pirate swarm 2/4 left after half the game and I had to carry it until the last wave where I ran out of lives. The only remaining teammate was in a Vanguard and took several minutes to kill a Constellation and Vanguard, both of which I stripped off engines and weapons, because he didn't manage to hit any of his nose gun shots.

Most people are still crashing like crazy.

>Vanguard and took several minutes to kill a Constellation and Vanguard

Those ships are tanky as fuck. It took me almost a full minute in a SH to take just one out.

>he didn't manage to hit any of his nose gun shots.

Could have been a desync on your end.

>>164086292
Where people aren't crashing they're getting the old bug where "press X to respawn" does absolutely nothing. Nothing like having a nearly full bank of lives only to have your attempts to return to the fight be completely ineffectual.

>>164086292
>tanky as fuck
The Vanguard loadout with the S5 M7A has ~200 higher DPS than the Hornet I was using at that time. It really shouldn't take him 4 minutes to destroy a single Vanguard that was both already damaged and just drifting without engines. Watching that in spectator mode was painful.

I typically use it to race but it can still equip 2xS1 missiles and has size 2 hard-points. A more skilled M50 pilot than me with a couple of mass drivers would be very dangerous indeed because it can out-turn and outpace everything.

Did they give a roadmap of what happens between 2.6 and 3.0?

Or was that the patch series they said they were jumping, and we're going to get 3.0 next

So where can I trade slaves for a lot of credits these days. Sirius/ceos seems dead.

>>164102323

Current plans are 3.0 to follow 2.6.
I'd imagine there may be small 2.6.1/2/3 style patches to fix major issues with the current patch.
3.0 will probably drop in late spring or early summer of next year given the scale of what's to be in it.

>>164102323
3.0 is next
>>164068697

>>164102413
Ech, don't know what it is but every patch makes me less patient. Probably because its becoming closer and closer to the actual game and I can almost taste it.

Unlike when I loaded up the Hangar module when it dropped, which was a novelty more than anything

>>164102593

I initially felt like that as well.
I've eased into the mindset of "well I'm still waiting for Half Life 3 with literally no sign it will ever happen, so I can deal with the slow development of this".
I think it's important to find other games to keep you distracted in situations like this.

Elite was always dad oriented, FDEV listening to them only exaggerated a already bad (by design) problem.

>Good question. We're definitely gonna have a crossbow (thanks to Shroud of the Avatar). We're definitely gonna have melee, so in the very early stage of the FPS, it's just straight-up brawling, but in the long term plan for melee, you'll have some basic punch/duck moves. But then you'll be able to different places around the universe (like a Tevarian dojo) and learn some Tevarian martial arts, so then you'll have extra moves to use.

>From there, when you engage in hand to hand combat, the more moves you use, the more options you have against someone and the more defense you have. And if they haven't had the same level of training, they'll have fewer options to use against you. So it'll be cool – if you spend a bit of time, you can pick up some combat moves around the universe. So we'll definitely be having that on the melee basis.

>For weapon options, we definitely have knives, not really sure about swords or hammers. So in the short term, probably not, but in the longer term, why not? It's not all that different than a knife or some of the melee stuff I'm talking about. Although it probably won't get to the point where two sword wielders can fence, who knows – in the long, long, long term future… :)

To me "dads" refer to players who don't understand game design and ask for things that they'll only support because it was made as they said.

So far CIG do a good job of not listening to people just because they are noisy and chose ideas that are DON'T sound cool but have a better potential.

For example choosing to have only a few token hand-crafted city/planets to land on rather than procedurally generating city with 1000 similar space-shop.

What I'm waiting them on is PvE and the 90% npc universe.
I'm getting frustrated of developers who fuck up their own game because they want to appeal to the ego of powergamer, or can't be bothered to make AI.

>How do we solve the dad problem?
Afraid you'll have to reeducate people about what a game is supposed to be : entertaining, not a second job you pay a subscription to do.

The best we can hope is for Star Citizen to set new standard and make other game look utterly ridiculous in comparison.

When someone uses then phrase "powergamer" and specifically hopes the game is over 90% NPC so they can avoid PvP as much as possible, they're erring on the side of dadditude.

they are the type who'll jump in a PvE coop and insult you before you slow their grind, just like ED's dad they'll defend bullshit grind & powerlevel because they intend to grind like mad in the wishful hope of gaining superiority over anyone else.

btw, 90% npc isn't meant to avoid PvP, it's awaited so the game don't cater to overaggressive autist.

So to avoid PvP.

I looked up the definition of powergaming - sacrificing role-play for power to your character. Sounds great, I don't plan on roleplaying at all.

But yes, if you're intentionally slowing down some "coop PvE" then you're the problem.

actually powergamer are people who play in an overly aggressive and selfish way at game that everybody else play for fun.
no one care if you don't roleplay, they just don't want to be forced to ask someone else to play with their own capital ship.

It have nothing to do with avoiding PvP, quite the opposite. An Idris full of players would still just be one ship (and not necessarily more capable, no matter what your ego think)
If you can solo an Idris you'll have your Polaris escort, and tens other fighters, all players.

> However, with multi-crew ships such as the Retaliator, Freelancer or Constellation, we needed to approach the concept of stations a little differently. You, the fans, expressed an interest in being able to fly your multi-crew ships solo as well as having the option to invite friends to man the various support stations and turrets. Therefore we decided that you should be able to fly a multi-crew ship solo

The npc crew are meant to allow you to get players to join & leave without having to physically get into your ship and so you don't have to sync your recreation with others.

Only the Bengal won't have full npc-crew because it's the ship meant for organizations, you can't buy one even in-game, so only orgs will be able to scavenge or capture one.

You got it wrong, what's the problem with flying it solo? It cause absolutely no problem of balance and all npc capital ship will be crewed the same way.

Idiot who talk of balance and competition have no understanding of what SC aim for.

Why it shouldn't be?
This isn't some sort of team deathmatch where every team must be balanced, this is a game that allow you to be captain of big ass ship to fight other players and optionally have friends in the same ship.

It's not difficult to understand. You simply aren't used to a game that want to do it for free rather than making you pay 60buck around the feature.

That's cool and all but it means solo players will want to grind out a solo capital ship instead of being viable in the craft designed for solo play.

I mean the more people are flying capitals the less special they are to see/fight against, you must get that at least.

Let's be real, NPC crews are absolutely necessary. It's either that or the multicrew ships being useless for like 90something% of the time and everyone who spend their loadsa money on them mad as fuck.

>>164113712
>I mean the more people are flying capitals the less special they are to see/fight against, you must get that at least.
This a valid concern and I share it. One can only hope that bigger ships are expensive enough to run that one would whip them out only when reasonably certain of big profit (or playing a high risk/reward scenario), while for your day to day hanging out in space looking for shit to do limiting your costs and risks with smaller ship would be preferable.

>>164113978
>it seems to make it easier to overshoot while chasing people.

Slow the fuck down. You have a range counter on your target. If you are within 2km and are still holding AB, you are fucking up. I rebound spacebrake (the second one in keybinding) so that I could use that to slow down a little faster.

If you slow down just a little, you will be amazed at how many people will fly directly in front of you in AC, because most people fly at full throttle all the time.

Only because we don't know how it will be handled.
The idea is that a player can only agent-smith into one of your NPC and they might only respawn in hospital bay, or in another NPC.
It's certainly only meant as a Quality of Life feature.
Only a dads would insist to spend 30minutes (at best) getting everybody to park their own ship, get on board, before they can play.

And I think there's a Q&A somewhere about "not getting stuck" on the ship of another player

>>164113078
>Maybe being aggressive and selfish is fun for them.
Then they'll have the opportunity to do it alone or with other people like them. What's important is that you don't end-up with disgruntled players rage-quitting because the autist they tried to get along disconnected because they weren't following his lead.

>I know a lot of dads who use that exact terminology for just a standard pirate.
And who care? There's pirate-dad who will complain if piracy isn't as one-sided (in their favor) as they imagine it.

You are taking it all wrong, the concept is hard to grasp if you only played multiplayer game with vertical-progression but a capital ship in SC won't be some Lvl 100 endgame equipments.
They are meant for specific jobs and have specific requirement.
ex :
# they can't do what a small ship can do
# you can't cross small jump point with them
# they'll be too costly to operate for cheap missions
# asteroid field will be a pain for big ship
# even a Hull-E don't necessarily mean "easier grind"
# ...etc

The game is 90% npc anyway, it would be easy as fuck to hide npc capital ship if a player one is around.

Also, I think we will all agree that forcing player to be poor unless they suck some Orgs' dick for the privilege of sweeping the deck of an Idris is bad game design.

> craft designed for solo play.
No such things, there is only "your ship" and "someone else's ship", that's the brilliance of Star Citizen. Giving you access to ship experience that would otherwise be their own extremely limited Indy game.

There's nothing wrong with buying capital ships and NPC crew to play fleet commander. The only people who complain about it are envious trolls!

They're basically a semi organized band of the "thrill killer" gamer archetype and becasue of their natuirally destructive tendencies tend to burn out quickly due to lack of proper logisitics and planning.

This simply won't work given the ship speeds of SC. If a station is orbiting at thousands of km/h, but your ship can only go 190m/h, it would get really fucked up when you try to fly anywhere. Planet rotation, yes. But orbits can't happen.

>>164121528

This. Roberts seems to be entirely in favor of people shooting each other up. Look at their Gamescom(?) presentation.

To me, that's pretty much an endorsement of the type of shit they may expect players to do.

>>164122946
>planets slowly orbiting
Ok, nevermind. I'd agree, we need this in SC. It would be cool - every few weeks in real time would equate to entirely different travel routes in every single star system in the game.

I'm not sure how it would be handled though. The slow-moving position of every planet (which is hundreds) dealing with millions of players and NPCs in a little more than a hundred star systems, all updating constantly.

You don't know how network games work too well do you? Besides, it's not like the movement is going to be random. Any given point in time can be calculated, so once you sync with the server what the exact point in time it is, the client knows where the planets are supposed to be.

You guys are all way too narrow minded.

True individualist master race here.

Let's say I'm in a remote asteroid field, deep in unmonitored space. Maybe I'm trying to track down a signal, or find some good ore deposits, doesn't matter. A radar / gravidar / whatever contact pops up on instruments. It's a transport ship. A quick scan shows it's UEE registered to an individual who is a member of a well known trading organization.

What do I do? Well, probably perform a cargo scan to see if its carrying anything valuable.

If it is, I've got options. First, if it's running a skeleton crew and I have the cargo space, maybe I can take it solo. Force him to eject some cargo for me to collect, or even combat if necessary. If it's too big of a target for me to be confident in taking it myself, I could get on the comms and call up a few buddies from one of my redacted orgs to come help me. If I don't want to get involved, maybe I can make a quick buck selling the location and cargo info to some pirate contacts of mine and leave it to them.

If it isn't, I've also got options. I can make something up and try to sell the info to pirates anyway, which will put me on their shit list for a quick buck. Not really worth it. I could still try to board and capture, but there's a high chance of me dying in a solo gunfight, so not a good option. Of course, I could also get a couple of buddies to show up in cheap fighters, then offer to assist the pilot of the transport in "fighting them off" for a some of money or a bit of the cargo.

Or I can do nothing, let them continue on their way.

A bounty hunter on Monday.
A data seller on Tuesday.
A pirate on Wednesday.
A trader on Thursday.
A miner on Friday.
A mercenary on Saturday.
A scavenger on Sunday.

And most of all, an opportunist all week long.

Will I be able to play the entirety of Star Citizen in single player or is squadron 42 the only way to play single player?

>>164127505
>Expecting to live without consequence

SQ42 is the single player campaign. If they're still keeping up support for private servers, you may be able to host your own shit and play alone there. Maybe, we don't 100% know yet.

>>164126983
>>164126739

Don't know why people have such a hard time understanding this.

It's been pretty clear from the beginning that the idea is you play Squadron 42, and by completing your military service with the UEE you earn "Citizenship". Also according to your performance in the campaign, you'll get some kind of rewards for the PU.

Citizenship comes with it's own, so far ambiguous benefits that will allow you to get the most out of Star Citizen. There may be ways to get your citizenship without playing Squadron 42, idk.

>>164128061

You wont have citizenship in the UEE and you wont have whatever rewards you get from completing S42. You'll just have whatever ship you purchase and whatever non citizens have access to, which probably wont be much.

>>164128243
Who knows for real? We barely have a functioning PU and you want to know what the meta will be in 4.0+. Too far out man.

>>164128138

Not without consequence, every action has consequence. If I sell bunk information, I won't be able to sell to the same people again and I might even get a bounty put on me.

If I participate in piracy, I might get my ship destroyed with whatever upgrades I've purchased along with it. I might get killed in EVA and have to pray my ship is still floating out there when I make it back. I might survive, fail to get any loot out of it, and have to flee to repair my ship. I might still end up with a bounty out on me.

It's all a matter of weighing the risk versus reward. Which means I'll probably be on the up and up most of the time, but if a good enough opportunity presents itself with low enough risk....

>>164128389
>There may be ways to get your citizenship

You don't need to play SQ42. SQ42 is just supposed to give some tiny benefits, maybe something as large as a ship that transfers over to the PU. Don't forget that they want to make multiple campaigns.

>>164128708

>>164128389
>>164128648
My understanding was that citizenship would allow you to access special jobs that you would lose access to if you commited crimes.

It was explained that career criminals would do the campaign for fun and would forfeit the benefits of citizenship when they commited a crime.

>>164121120
Wrong topic anon,
The problem is the whale who want the bigger ship reserved to their personal orgs and unflyable by anyone who isn't powertripping like them

>>164121528
Orgs will try to claim system or place and restrict access to them, but if the game is still instanced they might rage because it can randomly bypass them.
Who know if you can't even effectively work a system to blacklist Orgs and rarely ever get instanced with them

I imagine goons raging like a thousand sun if it happened

>>164125605

It's incredible how people get called teddybear dads if they want to have a fair chance against pirates, but wannabe pirates on their side expect to easily game the system, never be caught, thwarted or killed and to have all the advantage of a good-doer citizenship.

If pirate are supposed to be hardcore experience, then make it so. Make so that even in null.sec your actions aren't free (no need to ask who will be scanning and selling info on criminal).

>>164128856
>>164128648
>>164129768

It's all been pretty vague so far, so this is pure speculation.

In my perfect vision, once the game is live you don't buy Star Citizen. You buy Squadron 42, which is a single player campaign with strings attached. First, it serves as a tutorial to introduce new players to the game, ships, and the universe in general. It's also a demo of sorts, giving new players the opportunity to participate in a few different play styles, fly a few different ships around, try some different weapons.

It's a good way to give a new player some starting resources. If you bought a game package with a ship and insurance on the website, you get that ship in your hangar when you join the PU. However, you also get maybe a Hornet (that doesn't come with insurance) from your S42 campaign, some extra cash, and maybe some equipment.

It's also a good opportunity to make the citizenship mechanic more significant, by making a big deal about being granted citizenship on the completion of the campaign, which can then be lost if you decide to be a career criminal. That creates a "cost of entry" to pirates and further distinguishes the lifestyle of a law abiding citizen versus a renegade.

Of course, it probably wont be like this because it would make too much sense and people would bitch about having to play a game to get access to their game, but still.

>Is it true that the main problem with today's gamers is the obsession with instant gratification?

At least the author of this video do have an obsession for instant gratification.
He is trying to make it look ED-like slow as fuck but since the game isn't out his assumption are pretty much void and personal.
Since the demo was disconnected from any continuity he also don't get to know the fun you get for preparing the travel, your equipment , refuel stop.

Sure, there's fast spaced game where you accomplish 4 missions in an hour.
But the number of mission/haul per hour isn't a metric. I would love to do ONE MISSION for 2 HOURS if as a whole I don't get significantly bored anywhere during it.

No problem with criticizing Star Citizen and being worried with stuff, but that video was more boring than the Proc Planet v2 introduction he criticized. I watched all of that sequences.

I don't think the public have a obsession for instant gratification, it developers who gear their game for it because it's how many trap the players in skinner box.

Apparently you also unlock the pirate Caterpillar when doing Pirate Swarm solo. At least I just got the notification after doing that, already completed it online before.

More like you only focused on consequences you like. Also my remark was aiming at all wannabe pirate, broad way.
Look at all the occupation you plan to have, most of them will end up with you being Persona-no-grata and require a reputation-reset mechanics, if you can do that ridiculously easily (put aside the current alpha) then it will end up like a GTA game.
