/scg/edg/ Star Dangerous Elites General #141: ARE MAG Edition #4

What's the deal with these retarded OP pictures?

>buy a type9 for gets and shiggles
Holy shit this cabin is maximum comfy in vr

>>170959884
Some shitposter from /pol/ who thinks people in /scg/ understand this forced 1-person meme of posting a dead conservative ex-prime minister.

>>170959884
>>170960063
/pol/ poster here. I have no idea either.

>Above is a pastebin of games you can play while waiting for SC and E:D to become playable.
E:D is playable. Fix this stupid OP.

>>170960274
>Implying

>>170960345
Yes.
>implying there aren't millions of stars to fly to in E:D right now.
>implying it doesn't have a complete trading system, or bounty hunting
>implying it doesn't have functioning faction warfare, capital ships and crafting
Sorry, E:D left SC behind.

Seedy bars will most certainly be a thing how seedy I don't know. Brothels could make it in but it would be on par with Witcher 3.

Sex sales just look at League of Legends and Overwatch.

ded game.

>>170964354
They have to make attractive girl models first tho

>>170960619

Always. Ships sell for 90% of their purchase price. You only get 100% on individual module sales.

>>170965357
The basic female model CIG sculpted is pretty good I don't have picture of it on hand sadly. Also don't know how character creator will be when it comes to bodies the facial creator however will be 10/10.

The scans they use from actors used heavily cleaned skin to get a better scan. Make up options will most certainly be a thing in the future I do agree on them scanning as many beautiful woman as possible.

>>170975845
probably not

sc barely even runs in 2d on rigs that run vr just fine

>>170975845

no

it would require so much work since the camera is tied to the character animations and everything

Just the thought of that makes me sick. Imagining the stuttery way you walk and how stupid ships accelerate all in VR would probably make me throw up.

>>170978708
Supposedly Elite is okay in VR. Maybe they could figure out how Frontier did it?

>>170979050
It helps that you play as a seat in Elite

VR is amazing in Elite, I play the game almost exclusively in VR now. Only issue I have is that text can sometimes be hard to read but it's not too big of an issue most of the time. Also, use a Vive not an Occulus. I borrowed my friend's Occulus because he bought a devkit a while ago and it made me sick and gave me headaches if I used it for more than 20 minutes. The Vive has given me no issues, but obviously when you're in VR, fast movements and spinning about can make your head spin, but I'm starting to get used to it.

The topic for this special edition is Professions in Alpha 3.0, with an emphasis on Cargo and Mining mechanics.

>>170999542

I should add though that it can't be perfect since Frontier is so bad at games. Using the galaxy map in VR is nearly impossible without a controller, and the system map has been reported to crash in VR.

After 3.0 has been released which may happen at the end of the year, but most likely summer 2018 which means christmas 2018 for SQ42.


It's all about Item 2.0 and the Network rework and they seem to have huge problems with these.

Something tells me they just started working on it. Everything you heard last year was pure lies.

>>171005336
What the fuck. I don't see why network matters for SQ42 when they basically slashed co-op anyway.

I don't know much about it apart from it looks like Robocraft a bit, but the base building stuff is 100% comfy, I'm going to watch more videos before considering kickstarting.

There's no way it's going to end up like CIG selling $15,000 ship packs, or "limited supply" faggotry, that's for sure. For like $50 I bet I could get the whole game or at least a decent package.

>>171024343

I feel it helps restricting the missions you take. I never take missions below ~500k. Usually takes me around 3 "rounds" of cycling to get a full list, so 9 total relogs.

>>171032078
Because spamming missiles is like spamming attacks in fighting games. It's no-skill shittery and boring.

And the alternative to spamming missiles is to fly around getting killed in 1 shot from cheaters, or aimlessly spamming a shield tank until you get bored and ALT+F4.

>>171039041
It's just slightly fancier space legos. That's ok, but I don't want to have to complete the game myself before I can play it. That's more of a /egg/ game.

Am I the only one that gets my jimmies rustled every fucking time a new thread is made with the outdated elite pastebin?

Inara is dead, coriolis link has changed, and we have a discord for us fags who still play.

Can I make a new one?

>>171039320

Just reply to the OP with your changes. It's the same faggot that keeps making the OP. He obviously doesn't give a fuck either way.

>>171039258
I guess. When I first saw it I thought it looked like a better version of Anno 2070 with some dogfighting thrown in. Maybe that's why someone said it looked like Descent Underground.

>>171039320
Please let the next OP make it better instead of making another thread. If you compile the links you're talking about, maybe they won't make another stupid thread.

How are we going to fit all that ED stuff in a joint thread? Unless you split the threads up, in which case they will probably die.

Literally make a neat list in pastebin, and post the link to it here.

Same goes for Star Citizen, we should just keep the OP simple instead of dozens of links.

>Can a team of 5 developers create the most variety-rich action game ever?
Probably not. Closed the tab.

>>171047257
I've always wanted to make the Sag A trip. Guess I should probably engineer my Anaconda first

CIG keeps talking about doing repairs on ships, but they never really mention what exactly those repairs are.

They've talked about combat damage, where you might have to reroute some power, but that's about it. What exactly WILL the repair be? I don't want to just sit there smacking my reactor with a wrench.

>>171047731
I would recommend doing that. Right now I'm making the journey with a 32LY anaconda and it's torturous.

>>171047731
I tried to do it once. I got about 3k ly from the bubble before I killed myself.

The entire jump, scoop, honk over and over for days on end makes me want to kill myself

>>171047974
We know that item 2.0 has component damage (exploding subsystems can cause damage to systems next to them) and some Jump Point from last year had a thing about subcomponents like fuses and such that can break and have to be replaced.
If your reactor isn't completely fucked you'd open it up and replace some of the shit inside with spare parts you stored somewhere.

Somehow I didn't really realize how little cargo space the Caterpillar actually has. Not only do the modules take up less then half of the ship, but they also have the walkway through the middle and the catwalk on one side cutting down on the capacity of each module.

>>171061673

>>171061896
No, you only get 4 of the modules plus the front part, and there's not a lot of space in there either.

>>171062127
Well lets hope that you can fill up the whole module then not just the pre defined cargo space

You should be able to especially with the upper catwalk

Imperial exploration ship when?

>>171061673
the upper catwalk is specifically so you can cram the lower level full, and they put it to one side because they found it obstructed less top level cargo there.

it really is a lame duck though. the fucking starfarer has higher cargo capacity and bigger guns.

>>171047974
>I don't want to just sit there smacking my reactor with a wrench.

I don't think they really know yet. "smacking the reactor with a wrench" is about the most complicated gameplay we've seen in other games. I expect there will be a fair bit of parts replacement, flipping circuit breakers, maybe some cute simple pipe puzzles for rerouting circuits.

>>171064525

besides that 3.0 sounds pretty cool

>>171039847
>Any idea what its max jump is in beta?

Mass decrease hasn't been applied in the beta yet.

Lowering hull mass will increase jump range, but also speed/maneuverability and shield strength.

Since the original hull is over optimum mass for even the biggest shield it can mount, any hull mass reduction will have a significant impact on overall shield strength. Might mean fewer passengers pissing and moaning about hull damage whenever something pokes through its tissue-thin shields.

“...and then a beta of the persistent universe by the end of the year (2014), which essentially is bringing all of these things into one holistic piece, and then we'll go live after the beta which I would anticipate would probably be sometime in early 2015. But essentially from the end of 2014 you should be able to play the full game, it'll just be beta because there obviously still will be things to tweak and balance, and we'll try and keep the player base constrained until after we've gone through beta, because, you know, it's not really a beta if you've got a million players. ”

I was doing my first black box recovery mission.

Die

Okay, so about ED engineering.

If I'm planning to maximize my FSD range, should I advance like

Grade 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5

or I simply go for Grade 5 once I unlocked it?

Unfortunately I didn't find any info about this on the interwebs, if I should advance grade by grade or it doesn't matter if I go right away for the top grade if I want best results.

>>171094728

It's a lot easier now than it used to be. You can go grade by grade until 5 and end up with good results, or go right ahead to grade 5 if you already have it unlocked. Just make sure you have enough for a few tries of each roll, because you can end up rolling a grade 5 mod and ending up with worst stats than a grade 4 roll. This was a real problem back when mat drops only gave you 1 material, but now that they give more it isn't too much of an issue, since you'll always have more than one try by default.

Why is CIG gonna fix the way big ships bounce around like they're made of paper?

>>171089062
If you have a Discovery Scanner on your ship use that, it'll give you a mission update on where to look in that system, usually in close to a planet or moon. If you don't have a scanner drop in at the Nav Beacon and scan it instead.
Then when you get near the target location just linger in the area and you'll get signals for mission critical materials or some shit. That'll be the source you want.

>>171094916

So no need to gather mats for all grades to get best results, can simply skip the steps, great.

I'm already at grade 4 and 81%, so almost grade 5. Need to do a bit more exploration, heh.

Thanks for the answer btw, CMDR! o7

>>171096865
Yea okay, o7 to you too there space man.

>>171096236

Yep, you can skip grades, there's no bonus from going through each upgrade if you can go right to G5. Just remember to have enough mats so you can get from G1 to G5 if you don't have that engineer unlocked. Also, when you're building mods to increase your rank with an engineer, you don't have to install the mod in order to increase ranking. As long as mats were used, your ranking will increase and you can discard mods once you make the roll, it will still increase your rank.

DBX confirmed best ship.

>>171106421
The best joke is the truthful sort. I want Elite to be better but FDEV has no idea what they're doing.

>>171106542
I mean, they got this far... the shit they've pulled off is pretty impressive from a technical perspective, just shit for gameplay.

>>171106650
Yup.

Underrated

>>171106538
Holy fucking shit its base A range has gotten that high?

fuck me man that craft went from mildly useless to dead-serious exploration ship in the drop of a hat

i wonder what the rebuy would be like at 96% with a light tight little explo fit on it that i could go out and explode in because there's no further need for me to turn in data. it could probably buckyball pretty hard around the primary plate of the galaxy

don't wanna chip away at 4.77bil too hard

i'm really impressed by what i can get using mostly out-of-the-box unoptimized engineers shit from a couple different ships, seeing as i did ceeckia/beagle point in a 57ly anaconda which needed to be HEAVILY engineered some time ago. its supercruise handling is dogshit in comparison to a DB and i'd have happily traded five ly for a quicker maneuverability as i came and went in ftl.

what the fuck that range

also we're not looking at anything more serious than 500m/s at most even with a godroll'd dirty drive seeing as this sits at about 33% this is still a ship that can get run down by a fair portion of the ecosystem but almost fucking nothing can match or exceed its jump range

>dude bitching about his UI chroma being reset

I heard that passenger missions would be nerfed, but would it be possible to do long range passenger missions in a DBX? you would be hard pressed to find module space even with the extra slot.

>passenger missions
>"""""passenger""""" missions
>ED's passenger missions don't even involve ferrying other players for a fee
>passengers are literally just invisible cargo
ED will never have a realistic universe. Star Citizen is going to be the greatest game ever made. Stay mad, babies.

>>171110760
Both games have their problems and will never be fixed

>>171110760
As long as one of them succeeds I'll be happy

>>171110760
Too bad we'll be grandgrandgrand...dads by the time it releases.

>>171111135
I wouldn't call either of them succeeding right now.

>>171111391
On the contrary, both of them are raking in cash and you're sitting here shitposting.

>>171112068
Game development could be interesting but I'd rather not work at Frontier or CIG.

What if I told you, you didn't have to work for anyone?

I want randomly generated passengers that will tell you long-winded stories that go nowhere--like a real cab driver.
All about that time they ate too many boiled peanuts and got sick.

Will Star Citizen or ED ever let me have a space daughter?

ED will if you use your imagination. Ask the forumdads how.

We're getting mechs, right?
