gents i've got a cutter fitted up for multicrewery using four turreted burst lasers on the top side, the two mediums being a scrambler and one little harasser phasing, the two larges being kinetic lasers but holy fuck that jitter. all are efficient and the gunner will get to use two high-cap thermal missile pods as well for their pleasure. helmsman has a bigass OC phaser plasma acc for their pleasure

does that sound like a fun arrangement for the gunner to use?

thinking long-range beams if the inertial larges don't work too well

>>
>>168574235
nice elephant nose there
>>
>>168574285
what sort of experimental would you recommend for the beam lasers?

i've not dabbled with them very much as their g5 capability is recent. got plenty of mats for efficient shit but i know for a fact that my husbando wants to have use of a big-range alternative in the way of beams as he loves logh. perhaps the mediums will be long and the larges efficient as that would probably give me the best mixture of practicality and flexibility

the hull is of course a ~3000 armor reactive double MRP several HRP ~40 res across the board fucktank beneath a ~4k+ or so fivestack prismatic shield two HD/two omni/one thermal that throws out some good explo and kin while hitting mid thirties for thermal, but with my pool i've found it to be chill.

ECM PD and a high cap sink for use with a single 8a cell

corvette is similar in underlying components but i'd never employ turrets on something so maneuverable. two long range phasing PA three overcharged incendiary Fcannon days left for hudson and two long range cascade rails in the huges med/lrg and smalls respectively

Your pessimism is well placed. I entirely agree with you on both points.

To the anon in the last thread asking about how the new sightseeing missions affected exploration rank.

I turned in about 41m worth of missions which caused my pioneer ranking to jump from 5% up to 27%. This means it takes about 1.86m to jump up one percent in rank, or 186m to go from pioneer to elite. Not sure how this has changed form how they used to be but the sightseeing missions are certainly still the best way to go elite in exploration.

Hope this helped.

go to Quience

take surface scan missions for the imperial factions there, all the scans are on the planet that the station's orbiting. average mission is 1 million, and scanning a single data point will complete them all at once

>>168580283
when you get there, buy a hauler, strip it of everything but an SRV bay, and stack 20 surface scan missions for only the empire factions

you can take the hauler down to the surface, use the SRV to scan the datapoint (which completes all of the missions at once), and just self-destruct the hauler to rebuy back to the station. It's faster than flying back, and the missions will more than pay for it.

turn in the missions and make bank. additionally if you want to get more faction rep and empire rep, they'll offer donation missions too.

Translation 2 (pessimistic):
>HOPING to release perhaps 2 big releases like 3.0 and 3.0.1 in 2017

Translation 3 (educated guess):
>we are planning to release less than half of the content we promised in 2016, i.e. 3.0 to 4.0 but it's too early to give any dates, even though we said 3.0 was going to be released 2 months ago back in August 2016, and it's still not the full stanton solar system so if you read between the lines, 3.2 and 3.3 and 4.0 will be in 2018

>I’ve done this all my life though and it’s often, you know developers saying “oh yeah, we can do that!”, it’s not Chris making up dates, people want to give their best but then a roadblock appears, some contingent work isn’t finished in time or sometimes priorities change. It’s like last year when we delayed Star Marine and everyone reported that we’d killed it (W: We didn’t! In fact we reported it was still coming!) but we needed to reprioritise for other things.

As I have said many times, giving a date is no problem, also missing a date really isn't a problem. The big problem is when they go sailing by the date they gave us and don't update their expectations, acknowledge the missed date, or update what the new date will be. They act like if they just wave their hands, yell, and fill AtV with pipelines we won't notice a date they gave us previously.

The schedule report was a good first step, but they need to open the entire schedule up, not just the narrow slice of the next patch.

The visual scale in this game is shitty. Nothing looks appropriately sized. Even in the multicrew stream, the bridge for the Corvette looks small as fuck for a ship that's supposedly that large.

Maybe it's because there's rarely anything around for reference since you're in space, but it's frustrating.
>>
>>168607054
MWO also has issues with scale. People have come up with a combination of reasons as to why the mechs in that game seem like toys instead of giant, lumbering behemoths. I assume that those same issues apply to ED.

Nah, there would still be issues. When I used to play I met up with a vulture in my Cutter. They were streaming and I got to see what my Cutter looked like from their perspective. I got close enough that they could see my pilot in the cockpit and vice versa and my ship still seemed small.

There are exactly two things that are mysterious and far away. Though, he is right about there not being any gameplay mechanic. Travel in ED is glorified loading screens that forces you to pay attention. Honestly, at this point if they introduce an auto pilot module I might consider playing the game again. Just something that orients you to your target, engages FSD, rinse repeat, and then flies you in the straight line towards your destination station.

Commander customization is pointless as fuck, crew or now crew.
Don't have friends to crew up with and to be honest I don't know why would anyone crew up anyway. Just go in 3 ships.Frontier should have made new ships that are only flyable with crew like capital ships for example. Plus arena crew vs crew mode would be dope but it's not there.
The only good thing in this update is that you have more camera flexibility. That's it.
Power Play untouched, missions are the same pretty much going to be exactly the same after this update for me.

If you don't have shit internet and can download 25GB or so in a reasonable time it's worth trying out if you're somewhat interested in the final product. Just be aware that there's not that much content. The PvP arena modes are either 'do you have enough rental credits to buy the flavor of the month loadout?' (Arena Commander) or just kinda meh (Star Marine).
In the actual PU alpha you can probably play for 2-3 hours, but then you've seen pretty much everything.
I'd say either wait for a freeflight event after 3.0 if you want actual content or just check it out now if you want to see how the controls and such feel and maybe look at some ships.

>>
>>168618925
I called it a while ago, Multi-crew was either going to be Overpowered or useless. Looks like they decided to go with useless. Maybe it will be "fun"-ish with friends to sit around talking the shit and mining for an hour or to try combat for an hour before it gets boring. Their use of multicrew with the corvette immediately illustrated the issues. Gunners are restricted to the current loadouts of ships. Ships are designed with having only the pilot in mind and forward firing, so there are nowhere near enough weapons on ships to adequately supplement a gunner replacing a wing. Then there's the issue that you cannot have a multicrew ship in a wing. Then they also pulled a CIG. Corvettes are going to be flying tight knit circles while gunners are going to be spending half of their time staring off at nothing, only in third person.

You are right, they should have introduced a whole slew of new ships, capital like ones that are meant to be controlled like naval vessels today.
>>
>>168619681

The one thing the engineering system does well is it forces you to get out of what may be your 'comfort zone' for playing to get shit done. Mining, combat, exploration, SRV usage, etc.

I was complaining about it earlier in the thread, but actually it's not even the problem that it's grindy. It's that it's grindy with these ridiculous roadblocks.

I wish I could stock up on materials so that I could spend a day or two collecting, then do all sorts of engineering rushing. 1000 Mat/500 data cap prevents this.

I wish there weren't so many obvious roadblock engineers. "I need 50 of x commodity, but you can only buy it 5 at a time"

"I'm in a system that needs to be unlocked"

"You need to do 50 of this extremely tedious activity"

Honestly I'm more excited over the fact that wing members no longer split bounties rather then the multi crew itself.

>The fact that Frontier couldn't get wing/multicrew to work is horrible.

You mean they actually tried to get it working together? Or are they just being lazy/making excuses for "Balance"?
>>
>>168623552
They didn't actually say they couldn't. However, it was mentioned that if you have multicrew enabled and have people on your ship, you cannot join a wing. Another anon posted a good explanation/theory on why, and it's most likely because they just renamed some variables in the wing, and slapped multicrew onto it.

It's certainly not balance. Right now I've seen nothing that would make multicrew overpowered in any way. Your pilot loses guns he controls, and a crewmember gives you an extra PIP. The piloting losing weapons is the most harmful aspect because every ship is a glorified fighter. If these were actual modern naval like ships in behavior, just with an extra axis of flight (up down), it wouldn't be a problem.

>>
>>168625808

No one gives a shit, we just want the game to be fucking FUN. Splitting bounties makes it so there's no incentive to play in a wing. Why bother if you're going to be earning less credits along with putting up with FD's awful netcode? Now atleast there's a reason to wing up. Players that get themselves in a wing can take on bigger opponents (i.e. wings of Anacondas) together with friends and everyone gets the same reward. This is exactly what the game needed. It is a MULTIPLAYER game after all.

I thought it's pretty clearly to make the game more appealing to new buyers.

It's not for the people who are already burned out and jaded on the game. It's for people who think a game only about spaceships without people looks a bit boring.
>>
>>168633790
How does this make it more appealing to them? If they multicrew a ship, they cannot have anyone else in their wing. New Buyers aren't going to have Corvettes and Cutters.
>>
>>168634839
>New buyers knowing any of that

They see screenshots of dudes sitting around on a spaceship bridge, and a character creation tool which will make them more likely to buy the game.

mfw CIG will only be able to release 2.6.X with minor features and fixes this year because they aint even close to be able to ship 3.0 or SQ42 with any meaningful content.

mfw interest in this game will plummit through this whole year because of the infinite amount of infinitely long delayes which always end in a patch with just 50% of the planned features.

So glad I havent spent any more money than the $50 I pledged at the Kikestarter in 2012.

Well, we all thought they where going to be able to release something more within 4 years of the kickstarter.

Now I see why all of CR's games feels rushed because he always tries to force in more features than the time table and manpower allows, which has often resulted in a rushed product where almost none of the features are fully done.

I get strong flashbacks to the Freelancer days where they always talked about how grand and epic the game was supposed to be, but now I understand why MS went holocaust on his ass for being this shitty on planning and producing features for a given amount of time.


CR is a guy who'll spend 20 extra years of development on something as usless as to be sure the coffee mugs in a certain space port got a certain color on the handle.

When multicrewing, is the ship owner limited to the helm, or can he jump in a fighter while the NPC flies the ship? Then you can have two humans in fighters, and load the ship up with turrets for the third human (who also controls SCBs, for some reason).

Considering who this is made for, I'm going to say Frontier believes Ship Naming will be the best feature of the upcoming patch.

My second guess is they're going to animate the mission board avatars using the commander creator.

Pink Valentine's day Vanguard.

New moon of Crusader to explore: "Ben" - Be careful of its massive gravity well.

The Super Hornet is more super.

Star Marine cut from game due to grenade hud indicators triggering too many people.

Gimbals added to all weapons so you can gimbal while you gimbal.

Weapon velocities all arbitrarily changed +/- 1000m/s so you can never get convergence.

Giant Heart artwork on Big Benny's machines.

Racing removed from game, because people didn't like it as a profession, will be re-released as part of the now cut star marine, but player model will be replaced with sonic and speed pickups will be dropped on grenade throws.

Vid screens will now displayed loop footage of ATV's the making of ATV.

Eggplants are now available as the first test of the commodities system.

Eggplants may be stored in palce of stimpens, and in the all new giant underbelly Eggplant container for Aurora and 300 series ships.

You're in the same IPC zone as a stockish Skylake, so the same would be true. The issue was, they were dictating to windows how to manage which primary core they are using. It appears they now let windows decide, which was the workaround by clearing and selecting the core again to force windows to control it.

No, it would get AMD users especially hard. I used to have a FX6350.

what exactly are you trying to say? guns are largely all made of the same parts, so the aesthetics are typically very similar. unless you're a /k/ommando you'll have trouble even telling most guns in the same class apart. the fact that it falls into that similarity of components while looking sleek and futuristic speaks highly of the design. it looks more like a grounded realistic future gun than 100% of the shit they've pumped out so far.

That I recognized where they took their design inspiration from, because I've seen those unique features before.

I've yet to see a side-fed weapon in Star Citizen like a Sten gun, or anything belt-fed, or with interesting features.

I don't see why all these weapons have to look like tacticool 21st century shit that we're all sick of seeing. Furthermore, why are ballistics still around? I can understand collectors having ballistic weapons, but not literally the elite fighting forces of the 30th century. Mass drivers may be the exception.

That may be why you missed the point, the magazine is fed at an angle instead of pointing straight down. Not the location of the magazine itself.

nobody makes side-fed guns since halfway into the last century, same for belt-fed personnel weapons. you might as well ask why there's been no steam-powered ships. underside magazines are the norm because they are what works best, that is not going to change in the future as weapons only get more streamlined, unless ammo receptacles themselves become small enough that they can mount on the side without being a snag issue or get in the way.

The basic weapons in Mass Effect were ballistic. The only good explanation in the original codex was for ballistic weapons. The "cool new way" was to use Mass Effect space magic using Eezo.

WTF are you on about?

>>168665524
>wiki
In Mass Effect, to generate ammunition a weapon shaves a projectile the size of a sand grain from a dense block of metal contained within the weapon's body. The projectile is launched at supersonic velocities by decreasing its mass in a mass effect field. Thousands of these tiny rounds can be produced from a single ammunition block.

honestly though it would be neat if they had some crazy shit like a mini quantum drive that shot 0.2c bullets so fast you can't actually see them, and instead of a muzzle flash it had that light distortion effect around it while firing. make it the rocket launcher equivalent, slow build up but devastating hit, like a micrometeor impact

>Tell me anon. How is a mass effect field generated according to the lore?
>According to the lore

They run an electric current through some eezo which generates a field in which mass is reduced (the Mass Effect). This field encompasses the firing chamber/barrel of the weapon.

Then an aerodynamic sliver of ferrous metal is shaved off the ammunition block (which basically doesn't need replacing outside of weapon maintenance because the slivers are so small). This sliver is accelerated by magnets rail-gun style but they don't need to be big magnets because the sliver is so small and it's mass is nullified by the field.

As it leaves the field, it retains its momentum and shoots out of the barrel.

Obviously half of this doesn't work IRL, that's because it's Science Fiction and not just Science.

The lore in ME1 was top-tier though it's clear that half the design team didn't read it and just assumed everything was space magic, the other half went to a lot of trouble to make sure that the one conceit of the game universe justified just about everything they wanted to do. ME2 and ME3 forgot about the lore entirely.

>I'm interested in a bit more functionality, though at one point I did consider the thrustmaster. I ultimately decided to avoid it from all the reviews and feedback I read.
I can't tell you about the MFDs but I have Thrustmaster everything else.

T16000M packaged with TWCS Throttle and TFRP pedals.

The pedals supposedly are also used in racing games but I can't work out how to lock them in place (they both swivel and depress) but racing games use depress and flight games use swivel and it seems like you can't lock either function down. Not that the depress is a problem but swivel might be disconcerting when racing a car.

Aside from having a fuckload of buttons, they seem fine. The pedals can either plug into the PC or into the throttle, I use them via the throttle. This uses one of the axises on the throttle but there are so many it doesn't matter.

Elite names the axises/buttons of the throttle/joystick with the same names but they're different which is confusing but not a big deal.

It seems to have an unofficial ED theme, it has the UI colour scheme and a vaguely ED logo on the box but it's not the officially branded one. I went with Thrustmaster because I've had several incidents with Logitech products and their support always tells me to fuck off. When I used Logitech products all the time, I had to replace several of them and I have NEVER had a good experience or gotten any help at all from their support. Even now, I'm using some random replacement cable for my G633 headset because the one it came with was broken after a week. I should have gone with a Roccat headset on principle and would have been happier for it.

Anyway, Logitech joysticks were a purchase of some company that got bought and run into the ground by someone else and Logitech aren't about to improve it so I avoided them, the actuators break in them and their support is shit like I said so they're not an option. The other competition look shit IMO.
>>
>>168673790
I thought about going with a Warthog or the F16 joystick but both have a lot of reports about having to replace shit in them. The T16000M is plastic and relatively light weight but it seems to be built ok and no one complains about them falling apart that I could find.

I believe there are companion apps in the VISION for both games. Eve has companion apps but that's actually an ancient game by now and they have a massive revenue stream to fund development. They must make nearly as much as ED's total revenue....each month.

Yeah, it should in theory be doable but it's not straight forward because it's not a peripheral, it's a separate computer and you have to communicate by bluetooth or lan or something. Making a tablet work as a USB peripheral ought to be possible but it wouldn't be straight forward and bluetooth is flakey as hell though it's probably what is going on in that pic anon posted. There is at least good code already written for using bluetooth devices as mice etc so that's probably how it's done. Each tablet is probably working as a bluetooth keyboard and they map some key combination to each tablet/MFD button and then map that key combination in the game UI.

well if they really ramped up that quantum warp effect, it would be basically guaranteed to reflect any existing light source with a direct line of sight to the effect in most every direction at some point. hell, they could do the same for jump points. basically impossible to see unless you are <100m away depending on the size of it, but pretty noticeable by then, when you can see twisted reflections of your own ship rippling through it.

ehh, the game is basically made already, even if 3.0 dropped the ball hard and there was no netcode and framerate improvements at all, it will have enough new stuff that people will still be seriously impressed and have enough to generate new emergent gameplay fun that when the usual deluge of shitposting about missed features and incompetence rolls in most of the community will still be confident enough in the game to defend it. on top of that, it will also be impressive enough to a lot of outsiders that they will buy in based on it's appearance and have fresh reserves of patience for the missing or delayed features and optimizations.
the only thing they could really do to seriously damage overall confidence is to roll out 3.0 without procedural planets, and they won't because that's the defining feature.

It's IRL army jargon I think, though USA calls people who run 'squirters' as in '2 squirted off to 10 o'clock' or 'we got a squirt from the target vehicle, heading behind east building'. I think that's airforce/attack helo pilot jargon that spread to infantry though.

>Saitek was fucked by mad catz before Logitech bought them.
Yeah, that's what I've heard everywhere (it's even on Wikipedia) but Logitech don't give a shit about quality and since they have marketshare and are the defacto choice for a large number of gamers, they don't bother fixing things that break easily either because anyone who buys Logitech just buys another Logitech to replace whatever broke.

So, it was good and it went to shit and now it's owned by a company that happily sells shit.

Run a socks proxy.
If you have a box at home or elsewhere that you have ssh on then ssh to that server opening a proxy.

For macs/linux:

You can do it through Putty as well if you need to.

Just connected to notice that some people don't realize they have a bias about development time
A game, especially big game, takes years to come out. It's incredible that CIG can pull playable demo during production, normal games typically don't do that.

Elite Dangerous is barely avoiding the downfall of No Man's Sky. They have a gameplay, but all contents is procedurally generated which IMO is a shit way to make a game.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Federation, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on A Lavigny-Duval, and I have over 3000 confirmed CQC kills. I am trained in chaff warfare and I’m the top ganker in the entire Eravate system. You are nothing to me but just another bounty. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this Galaxy, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over
Galnet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of minor factions across the bubble and your wake is being traced right now so you better prepare for the imminent gank, maggot. The gank that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your ship. You’re fucking sidewindered, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you with over seven hundred premium munitions, and that’s just with my unengineered multicannons. Not only am I extensively trained in hull tanking, but I have access to the entire powerplay arsenal of Zachary Hudson and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass out of the cosmos, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Frontier is avoiding it because they're not radio silent. They're still putting out updates. Unfortunately, the content of their updates is a whole another matter.

Oh you sweet summer child.
2.6.1 and 2.6.2 are minor bug patches, 3.0 is the single biggest amount of new content and gameplay mechanics in any release yet.
>>
why doesnt anyone play arena?
>>
>>168699136
Yeah hence 2 week sprint, starting in 1 week (3week aim turnaround).
Then 2 months to consolidate 3.0 which has been in progress since Sept last year?
Doesn't seem so off to me.

2.6 is the underlying move to item2.0 on ships + core work for network improvements. 3.0 builds out AI/subsumption/mission system [in progress as of ATV] - netcode developments, on top of serialized variable [2.6.2], multi megamap [2.6.2], regional servers [2.6.1] - expanded Stanton [landing zones built since forever, planets clearly ready to go for a "first" live [more like 3rd/4th/5th internal] iteration.

It genuinely could be closer than we think.
But seeing as its CIG time it'll be december earliest

After how long of radio silence? Sean Murray did everything wrong. He lied for two years straight, lied right before release, and then lied after release. He refused to acknowledge anyone's severe issues with the game. Then they just dropped off the face of the earth for four months or more (forget how long) before announcing that they made the big ships flyable suddenly.

By the time they finally announced their update, the damage was full done and irreparable. Sean Murray and HG's reputation is now that of full blown liars that have delivered a broken, very bad product. I hate FDev for a lot of the shit they've pulled, but they are nowhere near the level of Hello Games.

So basically shithead goons come in here and shitpost about Star Citizen because their buddy Derek is prevented by law from sexually assaulting Sandi and it makes Lowtax upset that he can't

I do hope stars are colossal and terrifying in SC; I'm tired of blackness. I realize atmosphere will give some variety in 3.0, but I wouldn't mind some tight-orbit stations with a big fat sun and the like to break up the blackground in space and give at least some visual points of reference.

The trick is to crouch as soon as you step in the ship. Once crouched, you can creep forward about 2 steps and then trigger the seat.

It's like riding a horse that is asleep and would really prefer not to. Once you are in the saddle and going, he is ok. If you wake that fucker up before you're in the saddle, good luck.

Should be bitching out Frontier for balancing their procedural generated game around jump range. If they were smart, they'd properly restrict these ships. Combat ships like the Corvette shouldn't be able to have cargo capacity. And if they do, make it a small amount. Then they could can up the jump range to something that doesn't make people want to firebomb their offices.
