The only time you're going to find value in Arena Commander is if you team up with someone you actually know on VOIP and practice that whole wing commander thing.

Tactics you see the AI using to infuriate you in pirate swarm, like whenever you shoot at one of the pirate ships it immediately starts flying away and doing spirals and shit while all of its teammates converge up your poop hole. It's all about dynamically changing attack/defense roles on the fly so that whatever your opponent starts trying to do immediately becomes extremely difficult. This is that real military shit, it's about playing it safe and annoying your enemy to death, never exposing yourself.

if you've emptied solo of missions, or don't want the ones spawned there, you can go into open to find new ones etc

is there a way to fix the black screen of death when you kill enemies in a CZ?
>>
I have been flying in open the entire time I have played, which is almost 350 hours. I have only left the bubble one time to go to Quince. I have been interdicted by a CMDR exactly one time; I was undermining and was basically asking for it.

It seems other people get to do fun stuff like wing up and/or get interdicted, I get shit. I know not to speed around stations when other players are there, so I've never been griefed either.

If you scared bitches would learn how to high wake to defend yourself and play fucking open, this game might be more fun. The meme of boogie men griefers that kill you instantly isn't real.

where do you currently live?

>>169051583
I'm in a big city, on a very good 150mbit connection. It's more of a general complaint. I've been flying a jump hauler for engineer shit, and I have never had an issue. I know there are way more people playing solo because they don't think they could defend themselves. I've never even had the need, this game is so fucking empty.
>>
>>169051335
Sounds like you've been lucky.

I only play in Open as well. Rarely do I find other CMDR interaction, besides the generic circlejerks of some odd-station chatter.

I've seen a few occasions of trolling, people trying to block Mailslots, speeding to crash into other CMDRs casually chilling outside other ports, people saying they are "protecting" CZs (while also being WANTED) and trying to interdict CMDRS from getting to them.

It's just the general consensus that people don't want to put up with the faggotry that may or may not happen. I've only been interdicted once by another player, and it was a 4 man Wing, 2 Vettes, a Gunship and an anaconda. I CL'd because honestly, I don't have the time for it.

Apparently ED devs decided to take what they had made and call it a game, then go and sell promised features like planetary landing and FPS / ship boarding as paid "post-launch" DLC.

Star Citizen is taking so long because since they had so much goddamn money they decided to make 8x more game then they were going to, and as the scale of the project got blown up so much, so did the time of development. Was originally going to be basically Freelancer 2 and now is going to be eve on acid.

>>169069206
TTK is a bit slow but you need to remember it's designed to be part of a semi-hardcore MMO where dying is a problem, not an instant respawn twitch shooter which is what it is being played as here.

Yeah, something like $35 for the game and comes with a free starter ship

People like to meme about "$500 ships" which is technically true but the reality of the situation is you're making a donation to development and getting something in return that will take far less time to earn in the final game then it takes you to make $500 IRL.

There's a role for space terrorists in-game.

How is it substantially different from a pirate faction?
>>
>>169070741

As far as they know, IRA could mean something other than a militant Irish group.

Either way it wouldn't last because there's just not enough for /edg/ to hold itself to one system. The people who browse /edg/ typically aren't the ones to want to roleplay being a pilot for a faction while at the same time not being affiliated with that faction.

I guess we could try to get them to give us 17 Draconis and give ourselves a new name. That could be cool but we wouldn't be able to expand anywhere since 17D is so out there.

I don't think "Space IRA" was denied for being a terrorist group, but because it's a blatant parody name, and you know how those fags like roleplaying and shit.
I know at least a "player group" that deals with "ilegal shit" in game.

>>169071101
>As far as they know, IRA could mean something other than a militant Irish group.
FD are from UK aren't they, I guess it's way too close home.
It all depends on how it was presented though, don't they require you to write something explaining what the faction is all about or whatever? anyone have it around?

Something like "Iraa Liberation Armada" might have been accepted while still being kinda the same idea.
You can even make up some shallow retarded lore behind "Iraa" being "the promised land" or some shit like that for extra points.

We did that too. It wasn't with Space IRA, but there were a few anons working on a Google Doc to apply for a faction. It was in essence a faction mocking Elite memes like dads, THE VISION, and shit like that. Maybe someone has it floating around somewhere.

>>169071101
>As far as they know, IRA could mean something other than a militant Irish group.
Not to an English developer.

I mean, an IRA is also a type of retirement fund but that's not what anyone is going to think when they see it.

Call yourself ISIS and try to claim that it's short for InterStellar Independence Society and see how you do. Actually a bad example because it's vaguely on-theme.

>>169071645
>because it's a blatant parody name, and you know how those fags like roleplaying and shit
That's reasonable, keeping factions on theme will make the game ambiance a little more classy. I was in a random fuck-around alliance in Eve called Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate, our logo was a drunk cat. All our stations were named after alcohol related businesses (brewery/bottleshop/etc). It was cool but also opposed to taking the game too seriously while still being on-theme.

Like you say, we just need to come up with a name that is light-hearted but on-theme and then a write-fag can write some lore and we can put it in.

>>169071812
>It was in essence a faction mocking Elite memes like dads
You can't be too blatant about it.

>>169071957
>why don't you fucking take 17D by force and see if anyone can stop you?
We couldn't keep them from playing it solo or instanced after blocking all of us. It's not such a bad idea though, if we can get a high rep with an in-system faction, we could make a play for being a presence and getting an in-game faction added. The missions are procedural though, right? If that's the case, would our faction necessarily get a role in the civil war that would let us side with them in CZs?

The only way that they're good is if you cheese them all the way out with Engineers, in which case they can melt shit in seconds and tank enough hits that you don't constantly have to warp out.
>>
>>169091185
Already engineered my shields; they never break, so I didn't bother with engineering armor. I was thinking more in terms of weapons. My biggest issue is the smaller ships (Vipers, Asps, Couriers, etc..) getting behind, above, or below me so I'm unable to unload on them. I've tried using turreted weapons, but I lose so much damage that it doesn't feel worth it. I can kill them, but I just didn't know if there was a particular build that would help with that problem.

It'd kill me on the inside since I love this ship and am able to do so much with it, but I'm thinking about selling the thing and buying/engineering an FDL for CZ farming.
>>
>>169092804

Don't sell it. I sold my Anaconda ages ago and regretted it because I had to buy it again. Such a great ship, I'd argue it's probably the best of the big three. I haven't had much luck with it in CZs though, I prefer to use my FDS. It does pretty good but like you said, you get out maneuvered by all the smaller ships.

If you're trying to do 17D, I'd go with the Annie for a little longer if you can or if you have another ship like the Vulture or something. You can get the cash you need for a FDL very easily even if your Annie is underperforming against certain enemies.
>>
>>169093352
You're right; it's not worth selling it. I definitely love the thing. At one point, I was trading ~280 tons of cargo AND very successfully fighting pirates at the same time.

I thought about buying a Dropship or a Gunship but there's a bit of rank grind, plus I have to cart that bitch around to do the Engineer shuffle again; already did it for my Anaconda, not looking forward to doing it again. I think I'll just continue the grind towards an FDL. If I just can't take it anymore, I'll sell my Python to buy the FDL and convert my Anaconda into a trading/mining ship.

And I'm not at 17D. I don't feel like flying all the way out there. I'm at Erio.

Absurd prices. Lots of grind. Lots of waiting. Cultists. Your favourite ships getting refactored. A meaningless PVP arena with TTKs that are too long.

None of us are playing the vision that CR pitched. We don't have any professions or any meaningless continuous or persistent content and we're stuck with console gamer-sized player number instances.

You're asking us what kind of exciting content to expect when none of us are playing 3.0 which is the very first meaningful content patch to the PU.

You are spending money for the chance to play an alpha now and the chance to maybe get something playable at some point in the future.

Look, it doesn't matter how many ships are in my hangar. They are meaningless without a game to use them in.

Either I can go and play 12v12 casual-tier Star Marine where everyone appears on the minimap, or Arena Commander to grind REC to rent ships to play Arena Commander in. Or fly around Crusader for a few days doing the small crafted mission chain.

There are no professions in the game. It's a tech demo right now with a bit of PvP. Until they stop talking about tools and pipelines in AtV, there's not much to be excited for. We need 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 4.0 before we have most of the game in place. Then there's the extra cool MMO stuff like pets, quick travel, etc, which aren't even in those patches.

When you upgrade to something more specialized, it will be more powerful overall by being more effective at its given role, but will still be a tradeoff in size, crew and secondary roles.

That was actually a RvB reference, but that was probably after your time. Green Acres or Happy Days may be more your speed.

Any fucking scrub who is going to try to blame someone else's tactic on them losing deserves to hold down the bottom of the board for life. If someone is doing something more effective than you, and you don't change, you're the fucking loser.

Not running around like a shitter and actually thinking about what you are doing are the keys to this game. Your scrub mentality prevents you from seeing this since you think campers are somehow dads, when dads could never excel at true competition.

Faggots like you feed kills to the other team like you were the red fucking cross then try to play it off as "I'm just having fun."
>>
Campers are tryhard shitters. They'd rather spend 30 minutes at the back of the map to get 1 kill 0 deaths, than the person who takes risks and gets 10 kills 10 deaths.

I'd rather play with a team of people who died a lot, than people that literally stay in one place because they care about their pixel avatar so much. I have no respect for that wankery.

KD matters in every FPS game. If you are dead, you aren't playing the objective. If you are dead, you aren't killing the other team. If you are dead, you are giving the other team points, position, and confidence, at the very least. If you use good teamwork and know how to play the game, you will have a high KD.

Make a flash game where you can compete against other people by being able to spam the keyboard quicker than the other person. You might as well go and watch TV and bash the space button with your foot. Or go to the mall and play whack-a-mole. Or just play cookie clicker. You got 100quadrillion cookie clicks! Great job! Keep going! Or wait... why don't you just play 10fastfingers because according to your dumbass mentality a video game can only be about competitive efficiency. A typing test is your perfect game.

At this point you can't be taken seriously.

Please stop.

Have you ever played a fighting game online where the guy literally just crouches and kicks and waits for you to stand up so he can kick you again? Can you imagine if every game was like that?

If you're going to be doing CZs, I recommend changing one of the 5D HRP to a MRP. I know you have chaff and a PD but it's going to suck shit when you eat a PA and your thrusters shut off on you. Looks good otherwise, if you're going to use the multicannons stock, I don't think you'll be needing the heatsinks but if you get G5 overcharges you may need them, I don't know though I haven't gotten my dakkas to G5.

You're right actually, and I don't have them engineer yet. Shield boosters for now, it is.


Also, doesn't this thing have military compartments as well? For some reason they're not showing up in coriolis. I'm guessing a mix of hull/module packages?

What the fuck did they expect to happen?

It's the only thing you can slot that has a passive effect on your combat ability - I actually wish that Heatsink launchers gave increased heat efficiency that you could pop in an emergency.

Or that the "____ scanners" would increase scanner range/sensitivity or something.

I use SCBs only because it's literally the most useful thing to slot. Give me some fucking options, FDev.

Technically Ben pushing variants/new ships is working on the game, by introducing ships. It doesn't change the fact that Ben is fat scum though.

>>169189175
The problem with that is they can no longer sell cheap ships. I imagine the Dragonfly to be the last <$100 LTI token we will ever see. The price of the Razor and the new Anvil proves that.

No one outside CIG knows what the true ship population is, but if they release a $50 ship now, it would absolutely flood the market and further marginalize the KS ships.

Bucc is $110
Razor is $135
Anvil F8 is $175

They have not reached what the market will bear yet. This is how they are trying to keep lower level ship populations down.

When you are actually FIGHTING others, sure, ED has decent PvP, but the whole idea of trying to engage in PvP is absolute ass because of the restraints the game puts on you, and that's even without the fact that you are forced to get Horizons to remain competitive.
>>
>>169191686
It's true you need horizons to be competitive. It's also true that you can do significant amounts of damage very easily using engineered torps.
>>
>>169192012
>tfw there are Dads even here that will try to convince you that horizons isn't needed to be competitive and isn't pay 2 win
>>
>>169192012

That's my point, players who don't have Horizons are effectively locked out of PvP. That doesn't really mean that PvP is bad, but it's incredibly shit that they introduced something that is tantamount to p2w.
>>
>>169192168

Go back and read what has been discussed and then take your Ritalin.
>>
>>169192702

You have to invest a significant amount of time into the game to be competitive in PvP, even without Horizons. If you are investing that much time, you may as well buy horizons unless you don't value your time.

Also, you are forgetting about CQC.

>>169192940

CQC is a completely separate game mode that may as well be it's own game instead of integrated into Elite as it is now. Of course it has decent PvP but that's the entire point, it's an arena fighter game.

Time investment is always required but that is, again, not my point. Telling a player "Buy this expansion or else you can never hope to do anything but be cannon fodder against other players," is awful. We can argue about the value of time until the sun goes down but as I see it, it's completely unfeasible to be a player who bought the game when it first came out and wants to PvP without first purchasing Horizons. I don't give a shit how many times it's been on sale or how much it is now, it's a horrible nickle-and-diming practice that a lot of game devs have been taking part of, and now FD is dipping into that pool.

Civil war in 17 Draconis is over. CZs and missions are still being spawned but ships in the CZs will not fight each other. If you try to still complete your missions and attack The Order ships, you will get molested by every rail, PA, and seeker that they have all at once. Some people might be teaming up in Open to kill Order ships if you guys still need to complete missions but I didn't check, didn't see a lot of people in the station when I was there.

So when does the actual update drop for people who didn't want to shell out for beta access?
>>
>>169199168

Today.
>>
>>169199168

Most Elite patches have stayed on PTR for 4-5 weeks. They've stated that the features present in 2.3 are more complex than previous patches so it may be extended.
>>
>>169199373
>More complex

This is a joke. But then again, I guess putting two players into the same ship "instance" without the game shitting itself is probably compelx for them.

That's bullshit and you know it. Broken turret mechanics aside, putting a manned turret on a fighter craft is incredibly pointless, considering how fast it turns. The gunner will never be able to utilize it properly compared to a remote turret like on the Hornet.

So now you have to extend the whole pad out into space and retract it, which means a separate hole in the hull of the station and possible place for air to leak out if a door fails, as opposed to a single entryway that can be rigged with an emergency shutter. One point of failure instead of 40.

The realistic setup would be that the station has a counter-rotating central column that ships dock in at 0g.

Or a completely external docking area with a rail system into the center of the rotating part.

The current setup is the worst possible method. Navigating the mail slot, landing in pressurized area with Coriolis forces, and having to match the rotation of the station by translating.

The last part is mitigated by magical docking computer that can handle that far more complicated task but still requires another component to actually put the ship on the pad.

We have no idea how big it is really. If they tried to cram an interior into it, which I could easily see them doing in their infinite retardation, it would probably be Cutlass or Freelancer sized. If they adapted the disgusting Gladiator chair lift entry method it should be roughly Hornet-sized.
Apart from that, nobody knows why they keep shitting out fighters. Probably because they could build it relatively quickly with existing Anvil assets and textures and bring it into the game for some 2.X patch in an attempt to seem like they're adding something meaningful.

Not him, but I do miss that. The game was rough, but learning the ropes was a certain type of fun. Now I'm in much the same position as he's in and I know just how shitty this game is. I've got an Anaconda, a Python, a Courier, an Asp, and a handful of small "fuck around" ships in addition to the aforementioned FDL I just bought and it's just the same old shit over and over again, in a big, bland, empty galaxy full of half-assed content that only *looks* really nice.

Personally, I don't give a shit about multi-crew; not as much as them improving the fundamental elements of the game like missions and travel. And they've already said that they won't be doing that anytime soon, so fuck it all.

I really hate how any of the big ships still end up twisting and turning around. It's the goofiest looking shit to see a ship the size of an aircraft carrier twisting and twirling around trying to swat one pesky Eagle. Turrets should be the solution, but there's just so many ways to counter them.

This the obvious solution but I don't think FD knows how to balance ships like that. The big ships should be a hell of a lot more clumsy than they are now, but turrets should also be not total shit, which will never happen.

>multicrew will allow gunners to use a quickslot to fire off a third weapon/utility

Why not... I mean... Why not just let us bind weapon/utility fires to something other than mouse 1 and 2? Like what if we could fire off chaff with using a numpad key or something like that? Wouldn't that be better instead of having to switch to a whole new firegroup?
>>
>>169257552
There should either be specially made ships or specially modified versions of existing ships for multicrew that at the very least have more (smaller) weapons than their non multicrew counterparts. Fucking retarded how they're treating it, about as retarded as SC is for keeping manned turrets on fighters.
>>
>>169258015

Or, specially made turrets for multicrew. Basically, turret-mounted weapons that won't work unless you have someone manning them. Problem solved.
>>
>>169258015
>>169258338

What I want really is to do away with firegroups and instead allow us to bind weapon/utilities to keys so we don't have to constantly switch fire groups.
>>
>>169258338
>specially made turrets for multicrew

What would be the purpose of that? It would still limit the ships severely by removing the number of weapons the pilot has. At this point in time a non multicrew ship in a wing is infinitely better than a multicrew ship just because one person is in control of all the weapons.
>>
>>169258415
>allow us to bind weapon/utilities to keys so we don't have to constantly switch fire groups.

Yes, sure, fine.

>do away with firegroups

NO NO NO NO NO

>>
>>169258531

>At this point in time a non multicrew ship in a wing is infinitely better than a multicrew ship just because one person is in control of all the weapons.

If a multi-crew ship duelled a single-pilot ship under my proposal, the multi-crew ship would have a large envelope of engagement, but the single ship would have more powerful weapons.

>a non multicrew ship in a wing is infinitely better than a multicrew ship

This will always be true, no matter how you spin it, due to the nature of ship fighting in the game. The most we/frontier could do is equalize the 1v1 game.
>>
>>169258608

While I can understand using controllers, I really fucking hope that the stupid console release isn't also the reason we can't bind fire keys to the keyboard. Gimping the graphics was bad enough.
>>
>>169258964
I don't understand your proposal. What would the specially made turrets do? Would they have extra weapons on them?
>>
>>169259019

That's my point: Keyboard users can bind their button and do away with fire groups if they want, but let us controller plebs/poorfags keep firegroups.
>>
>>169259268

>What would the specially made turrets do?

They would allow for a wider arc of fire compared to normal fixed or gimballed weapons. In a 1v1 situation that _could_ be balanced against fixed/gimballed. instead of issuing unique ships just for multicrew.

The main difference is that it's a lot less effort and setup, and FD hates effort.
>>
>>169259019
>While I can understand using controllers, I really fucking hope that the stupid console release isn't also the reason we can't bind fire keys to the keyboard
HOTAS is probably the reason. Firegroups are useful for us as well. Though I'd really like to have more than two triggers in a firegroup. I hate having to change firegroups to use chaff.
>>
>>169260413

If you're using HOTAS, why don't you just press C (default) on your keyboard?

We're kinda in the same boat, as I use a controller. I've got every button mapped to it except deploy hardpoints (U), FA off (Z), chaff (C), heatsink (V), SCB (S) and cargo scoop (HOME)
>>
>>169260413
>>169259502
>>169259019
>>169258608
>>169258415

Just make Triggers 1-10 bindable keys in the controls. Default PC is M1 is 1 and M2 is 2.

Keyboard/Hotas can bind more to triggers. If a bind for a trigger isn't blank that number is added to the cycle in the fire group selection.
>>
>>169261078
>If you're using HOTAS, why don't you just press C (default) on your keyboard?
Because I'm a noob, I didn't realise there was a key. If that's the case then I can probably bind a button to it too so that I don't have to reach for the keyboard. I've got enough of the fuckers.

I still think that firegroups should have more than two weapons but whatever.
>>
>>169261417

>I still think that firegroups should have more than two weapons but whatever.

Firegroups are probably designed around controllers. I can't think of any controller stick with more than 2 sticks in a convenient place. 360/1(one) controllers have their triggers + bumpers layout, but that would be pretty awkward to press at one time.

Their biggest mistake was having them be universal and letting even small fighters mount them, thus making it impossible to balance them.

Engineering is just a load of shit, you either should be able to hold 99 of each micromaterial or you should be able to bank your micromaterials somehow. It sucks throwing away shit I know I'll need later to make room for high grade emissions drops, and shit like Ram Tah's scan requirements are just absolute bonkers.

They should really make engineering less fucking stupid, and integrate it better with other systems. Instead of getting 1-2 garbage micromaterials from quest rewards, you should get tiered "Engineer Service Coupons" or something to let you do an operation with a specific engineer that go in their own inventory.

You should also be able to get experimental favors or that let you reroll one of your stats or the secondary effects on your engineering attempts from successful saves on distress call signal sources (so you actually go to them). Like "Thanks CMDR, you saved my hide, I can't offer much, but if you go see Hera Tani, tell her <AI NAME> Sent you, I'm sure she'd help you out" and you get some voucher for a free reroll or experimental favor that you can spend when you want on an engineer roll

and speaking of signal sources, there needs to be more of them, and they need to tell you what they are without scanning them. It should be "Discovered High Grade Emissions" Instead of "Discovered New Signal Source."

They could also implement some of the vouchers into powerplay rewards so people would be more inclined to participate in powerplay. After doing a certain amount of powerplay shit for your guy you get a random voucher as well or something.

It's clear that engineering is the real endgame of E:D, so I can't understand why they don't try to horizontally integrate it's features with other pieces of the game so when you do other things for fun it still feels like you are making a degree of progress towards the endgame.

I agree that there are too many fighters, but it allows them to bring it into the game relatively quickly because it's not using any mechanics that aren't in yet and it built around already existing Anvil assets.

The lack of post story content was the only big flaw with the game. The 2d thing was tolerable, but that mechanic is starting to feel a little dated in modern space games. I hope the sequel has 3d maneuvering.

I saw Eric "Wingman" Peterson on a park bench in Los Angles yesterday. I saw he was looking a little down, so I decided to go say hi and try to cheer him up.

I got close and said "Hey Wingm-" but before I could finish he cut me off. He kept saying "Chris Roberts, who?. Who's Chris Roberts?".

At this point I noticed it looked like he hadn't showered in a while and had been sleeping rough. I offered to take him to a store and buy him a sandwich or something but he said he "no longer trusts crowdfunding".

I said I should at least try and contact one of his relatives but he said he "wouldn't go back to Roberts even if he begged him" and started get up and told me he'd "see me in the verse"

As he walked off I heard him muttering about "spaceships that fight underground" or something and I realised he must have gone completely insane.

That's stupidly broad
If you don't differentiate between ROLE, CARGO, STEALTH, RANGE and remove variant, you are doing it wrong.

Star Citizen is doing SPECIALIZATION the right way. You have already 5 different way of playing just with the fighter, and you'll swap module on the bigger ship.

Keeping out the starter ship :
- Space superiority only
Gladius
Hornet
Super Hornet
+pirate ship

- Torpedo bomber / heavy Fighter for the bigger stuff
Gladiator
Vanguard (longer range +bed)
F8
+pirate ship

- Cargo/troops transport that can fight back
Avenger
Vanguard variant
+ pirate ship

- Interceptor or scout to take advantage of radar mechanic
M50
325a (+bed)
Herald +(bed)
Vanguard (+bed)
Hornet variant

- Stealth or Hacking to do or prepare surprise attack
Sabre
Herald
Vanguard variant
Hornet variant
Avenger (EMP)

more talking about like the starfarer and caterpillar. they need waaaay more mass compared to the freelancer. I say this as someone with a caterpillar, it's far too responsive. they should be able to reach higher speeds eventually, but maneuver slow as hell. currently they're just all around useless, with maneuvering speeds that are too high for their size but still lower than everything else, and that is compensated by having low top speeds as well. they're useless. they need high top speeds so they're hard to catch on a runaway and can deliver freight faster than smaller craft, but maneuver slow as hell so if you do catch one unawares they have a hard time getting away.

I thought they showed in the presentations that landing would be "you land on pad, get out of your ship, walk away, and it literally despawns so someone else can also land there" with the immershun explanation being that your ship was being stored in an instanced hangar that doesn't exist in physical space.

>>169319117
In ED you should automatically go into the hangar and it becomes an instance or something. Temporary solution. Players should not be allowed to ever sit on a pad.

all they have to do is have the pad sink into the floor and have another pad-surfaced door close over it before it despawns. they you can have it pop back up through the floor rather than being 'flown in' like they do now, with all the problems that brings.

>>
>>169320015

17 Draconis still has some donation missions I believe. I'm just waiting for it to go back to civil war. You can easily snag a few ranks with Fed while doing massacre missions. I'm only praying that Ftroop aren't axing 17D with the next update but 17D has been around for quite some time so I'm optimistic it'll still give out crazy missions even after the update.
>>
>>169320016
dunno why they don't just go with private hangars that work as spawn zones already. that was the initial plan for hangars, they do the exact same thing with the spawn rooms for players, and they even designed grimhex to work with said hangars, but somehow they never made it to final implementation.
>>
>>169320583
What I described is function. You don't have a storage place for ships as they appear, means you don't have a proper way to make them disappear and then make more room for new people wishing to land. It's the equivalent of ED's crap with players just sitting on pads, only this way there's nowhere to even put them.

>Don't remember pirate "fix"

They wanted to "fix" the ratio of pirate spawns when the player was doing smuggle missions etc. Doing Robigo was essentially harmless because you were so far out from the bubble that hardly any pirates spawned. The resulting fix caused an obscene amount of pirates to spawn if you took on a lot of missions. You'd get 10-15 pirates in a system chasing you at the same time.

They want it to be possible at some point, but that will require some sort of item/upgrade and the current priority is making manned turret gameplay better. Once that's done they'll start looking at slaving turrets at some point.

Ships better start flying like FW 190s if they want to have turrets work at all.

Yes because people are curious. It's partly that Chris offered David Braben a job on Star Citizen. They are getting desperate and are afraid of upcoming lawsuits if it looks like Star Citizen is failing thus rendering them fraudulent.

Braben and Chris should have a drunk stream to raise money for SC and awareness of the upcoming updates for Elite.

Should have took it.

Also I hope we get martial arts soon to go with the melee in Star Marine.

Is there any conformation of martial arts? From different species etc, like learning them for achievements or collecting different moves.

I got called stupid for replying to this post the other day, but I'm deciding if I need to learn rotoscoping.

Does anyone have CR or Braben green screen footage?

>>169325398
I work at Frontier Developments. I don't care about my work anymore so it doesn't matter if they read my posts or not. The offer is not public of course but go ahead and ask from people you know, they can probably tell more about it.

>>169325657
You need to learn how to get good key. In essence you'll always need to roto out at least bigger areas to separate different keyer values (i.e. hair needs more fine approach than clothes).

Why did they just let this guy punch them?
Explain

>>169325963
Any good tutorials? Most of what I have tried to watch is either wrong, or the video is an hour of vocalized pauses.

White people are submissive. The nigger knew they were doing retarded swinging and punching at the gig so he turned up with a free ticket to punch people. The cucks just stood there and took it. Even before he hit that woman I knew what he was going to do.

God I hate niggers.

I don't let people who are obviously about to punch me, punch me.
These are just metal fans.

Why don't you read a good book instead of watching shit videos? Buy his book: http://www.ronbrinkmann.com/DigitalCompositing/httpdocs/

Also it all depends of your needs, you don't really learn anything from watching videos before you have a purpose and need. You need to have actual footage first and then you need to know how you are going to apply your knowledge. It's not just about adjusting slider values...but it's about how to combine everything and every task is always bit different.

>>169327391
I've got the completed project in my head. I just need to learn how to translate it to screen.

I'm considering turning my Freelancer MIS into a Hurricane and my Buccaneer into a base Freelancer.

How retarded am I?
>>
>>169328374
Well you posted anime, so... pretty retarded regardless.
>>
>>169327554
Imagination is one thing but you need now footage.

>>169328176
I can't post further evidence. Like I told you, ask around in forums.
>>
>>169328374
Depends I guess. MISlancer could be fun, but going full retard in the Hurricane might be amusing as well. Gotta consider that you'll need either an NPC or some dude to man the turret in the Hurricane.
>>
>>169328374
SH>Hurricane
>>
>>169328374
the MIS is basically guaranteed to be a great attack and cargo ship, because the freelancer is already a strong ship and all they have to do is add mizzles. all the other ships are unknown quantities and based on CIG's record of hitting their concepts with new ships trusting them to give you what you paid for is moderately retarded unless what you paid for was already supposed to be fat and slow. if you really have to be restless with your money, why not turn the BUCC into a hurricane? will it cost more? anyway, the buccaneer is almost finished, why not at least wait until you can fly it before turning it into something else

neither can I. why won't you believe me???
>>
>>169329280
I don't understand your post.
>>
>>169329439

I, like you, cannot prove my claim.

But seriously Nintendo is rolling out the Wii3 next year and Half Life 3 will be its first exclusive. Please believe me even though I have no proof except these words posted on this Himalayan goat herder tapestry bazaar.

The galaxy map and the route plotting have been a mess since, well, ever. Fucking plots used to be stuck to a few hundred light years. You'd have trouble going from one side of the bubble to the other.

Considering what is in the game is smooth and the main problems with Elite are a complete lack of good game design and the super rigid release schedule that doesn't allow for hotfixes I assume most of fdev's problems are in management.
>>
>>169330341
but we haven't hit the autosage ye- ok we're good now
>>
>>169319506
I've been stuck at at stations full of NPCs before. The real question is why the fuck don't combinations of elevator/pad serve multiple hangars, and if someone is idling on a pad too long they get shunted into a hangar. There is space in the game world for this. The other directions from the hangars are open space that seem like they could easily fit ships.

Of course we know the answer. Like everything else in Elite it got a first pass that made it 'workable' and then was never revisited to bring it up to intended features.
