>>172626212
It mentions the Terra Gazette TAKE DOWN, Terra Gazette is one of the Lore fiction things so it'll probably be about the change in Cutlass design.

>>172626567
The new space bike will be either MISC, RSI or Origin. I am leaning towards Origin because it might be attached to the 600 series ships. Although RSI is short some ships so they might be used for a more generic one. MISC I only think would have one for the Drake MISC rivalry.

Got some bad news for you on that count.
The reality of helmet seals and practicality of long hair in a working environment means its gonna be dyke hair all day erry day. Have long hair is gonna be like a mark of someone who either never flies or is wealthy enough to fly with enough protection in a large enough vessel to not worry about having to wear a vac suit.

Jokes on you though, I have a tomboy fetish and love chicks with short hair.
>>
>>172634236
Thats still an armored Hazardous Environment suit

In particular Im thinking two things, one being the Class 1 vac suit, the "don't die if you lose atmo" bag. The other being extremely slimline/minimalistic body armor suitable for wear UNDER street clothes while doing whatever planetside where you might still encounter a gunfight but dont want to draw attention wandering around looking like Master Chief.

I think you're projecting. Liking women with short hair is a matter of taste, being unable to see the difference between a woman with short hair and a young man is a matter of perception. You see them as the same because in your mind they are both attractive.

>>
>>172635219
Probably be a 2.7 patch where they test PG with the 3 moons around Crusader. Now if they were sensible they'd announce it to backers that way "Hey guys we've done a lot with the PG tech but before rolling out 3.0 we want to do a small interim patch with the 3 moons. If the servers are stable and nothing blows up we'll look to roll out 3.0 soon after"

Yeah you'd get people bitching about no 3.0 but not nearly as much if they leave it to the last minute again.
>>
>>172637386
I really don't give a fuck about landing on a moon like in ED with nothing to do.

They need to finish cargo or fucking something with it, the PU is bullshit.
>>
The devs are asking people to sign on to the PTU and play for the next 4 hours, but they are only playing SM. I hate that they only care about that shit tier fps and said fuck off to AC and the PU.
>>
>>172637818
Yeah, I'll never understand why SM and even AC are even a thing.

The PU and SQ42 should be the only focuses they have
>>
>>172637643
I'm torn on it, it'd be nice to see PG tech in Cryengine oh sorry Lumberyard lul. But also it would make a lot more sense to test it on something like that before launching into 3.0 Stanton system and having some easily tested features of PG tech suddenly become the focal point instead of the achievement.

but yeah cargo and mining need to come online.
>>
>>172637940
AC was promised in 2013 as the dogfighting module which turned into AC in 2014 and SM was promised in 2015 and we all know how that turned out. However the mechanics from those 2 game modes being easier to spawn into was more beneficial than using the PU since traveling from Port Olly to Kareah just to get into a fight was too annoying.
>>
>>172637940
SM is just a feature to make the game have replay value. I find it difficult to believe it serves any purpose beyond a few bug passes before it has to be tested in the PU for any further progress to be made anyway.

>>172638150
I just want the megamap on the fucking PU, which is what I thought was the case for 2.6.2 up until I saw the patch notes. They wrote it like they left themselves an out in the 2.6.2 main notes in case they figured it out, but 5 patches later and the reference to the PU is gone from the notes.
>>
AC and SM exist as the games Esports portals for MLG fags who like combat but don't like risk.
Also as a way to git gud without the risk of gitting ded in universe and as a timekiller minigame on long trips, the whole "simpod" idea is to ahve those installed on the decks of big enough ships and be playable in flight. Megamap will actually make this easy to do.

We wont get meaningful height sliders, this is all but certain, but I'm wondering if were gonna be getting sliders at all. So far the modeling their doing seems to be very focused on "the model" and not a word about variations. like, what If we end up getting stuck with either male or female, paint bucket, and that face blender thing. It just seems like it would be a massive letdown and a heinous miscarriage of "fidelity" but I can totally see it happening.

Fucking no.
No merging, fuck all those other games. thread is diluted as it is, we don't need like 4 other conversation making it unintelligible. SC and E:D are similar games with similar mechanics from similar developers, a largely shared playerbase from the exact same period of time, and even with all those intersections we annoy each other and out conversation are both segregated and completely incompatible. Adding yet more titles will make the general tick faster but thats it, and it will cause even more disjointed non-conversation and shitposting than there already is, all the general needs to be is alive.

Also Star Citizen is not dead, fuck you, It's in development still. E:D is dead because of dev incompetence, SC hasn't been born yet because of developer incompetence.

What do you think is the biggest engine you could possibly put on an Avenger? I think you might be able to convert most of the cargo bay into one of the smaller TR6 engines and an expanded powerplant and heatsinks to run it, then use the bed area and whatever is left of the cargo bay to carry high value cargo and VIPs.
>>
>>172648434
TR4.

Not that it matters because thrust:weight is handwaved entirely

At this point nobody even knows what the TR designations/sizes mean because they changed everything like half a dozen times and never bothered to explain it properly.

>>172649450
Weapon and component sizes, yes. But even component sizes are kinda wonky, with them saying that there are 'small/medium/large/capital' components, but the specs on the website aren't reflecting that properly.
Thruster size ratings so far seem completely arbitrary. Looking at the game files, there are size 1 to 10 thrusters, but the sizing isn't consistent. Somehow the Caterpillar main thrusters are S3, but so are the Hornet and 300 series. Freelancer main thrusters are S2, same as the Gladius or Aurora.
>>
>>172650102
The specs page has never been right and they never update it properly. Its never reflected changes to the system, and often isn't even right on basic shit.

TR is thrust rating, not a size, so the assumption is you can have a tiny TR4 but it'll be horribly inefficient, or a larger TR2 and have long legs.
>>
>>172650304
The TR system has been removed from everywhere, except the holoviewer. I chalk that up to Turbulent being incompetent again, because even there they call it "Max size TR2" for example.
As of this point, there is only the arbitrary thruster sizing system, see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k66yHsb2-bPn6kFrzeG4o_E7U9eMbXST1rhoUUl-xaE/edit#gid=1232096432

I have been outspreadsheeted

yeah they're clearly going to have to clarify that, and I'll assume it'll come when we can actually swap shit out again
>>
>>172651193
I'm kind of confused as to how they're going to make that work. In one of the recent videos about flight balance they mentioned that in the past they used to define a thrust value on every axis etc. for every single thruster on a ship, but that got too complicated and they switched to another system. Currently they're just punching in numbers for speed/jerk/turn rates/time to max speed and the system then makes the thrusters however powerful they need to be to meet those performance goals.
To combine that with the ability to switch components they'd need to manually define ship speeds for every possible combination of thruster types on every ship, which seems like a pain.

His body should persist the same as if he was waiting for rescue. As long as you don't chop his head off or explode him or something like that, then you should be able to move him like any other item in the game, cargo, guns, things having to do with mess halls and meals, etc.

I'm going with a very confident plausible here. It seems like they would have to make a game feature to prevent you from doing just that.

Hello everyone,


We have identified the problem causing the Drake Buccaneer to be missing from accounts and have found a solution.

However, in order to implement this fix, we're going to have to suspend the live service for no more than 10 minutes at 2100 CDT / 0200 UTC.


For players encountering this problem, we recommend you perform the following steps before logging back into the game:

Completely close your game and launcher.
Delete your LoginData.json and USER Folder located in your "\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public\" directory.
Open the launcher and log back into the game!

We thank you for your patience as we were investigating this issue and hope everyone has a great weekend in Star Citizen Alpha 2.6.2!

I think the reason that happens is because the game levels the threat to your rank and ship. So "threat 2" might be like a Cobra or two to someone who is new to the game, but it extrapolated that to 3 Condas to your bountyconda. Or something, who fucking knows.

The way they scaled it is so fucking stupid that it really makes me think that they don't play their own game at all. Even if I think it's a terrible idea, I can see where they're coming from with the whole scaling thing, but 3 fucking percent for a newbie? Fucking why? Why even have a payout for them at all? It should be 100% for people Dangerous and above, and it should only go down to 50% for Harmless, or maybe a bit lower, but single fucking digits?

Frontier should just come out and fucking say it: "We have absolutely no idea how to balance anything in our own game. Please excuse our incompetence and have a nice day."
>>
>>172716412

Especially considering they could just wing up and follow you in a sidewinder, plink the target once before it dies and get 50%.
>>
>>172717412

100%, anon. After the patch hits, wing bounties will no longer be split and will be replicated evenly across all members that contributed to the kill.

So, with this move, after 3 fucking years they have finally fixed Wings, but killed multicrew before it even hit the ground. Maybe in another 3 years we'll have multicrew members sharing bounties.

I wanted to call you out on that not being unified at all because S3 repeaters travel like they're flying through honey in comparison to S1s

But it appears as though they've completedly 180'd on their decision to make larger weapons fire slower to balance them, and now projectile speed increases by 25m/s per size

Weapon velocity spreads in general have been getting a lot closer together and its really not hard to make a unified fixed gun pip across several weapon sizes now if you're willing to read the SCDB spreadsheets, lately Ive been trying to keep all my builds within 50m/s

>>172727412
we'll I usually only get about 4.8 our of any given stream, but my speed tests all come up on the money for the package. I pay for 50megabit service and I usually actually have ~55 available the issue is usually available data on the other end.

SC patcher in general is just so shitty, breaks your net regardless of the speed you set it to, doesnt work like half the time hang for no apparent reason, and just fucking dumps bandwidth like its doing now, like WTF I thought they were using amazon and google for servers, its fucking dead o clock at night, where is the datas?
>>
>>172727896
The reason they made larger weapons slower was to make them harder to hit smaller/agile ships with them, and they were pretty vocal about doing so

Makes me wonder if they're planning to balance them another way or if my S5 will now be travelling lightspeed and able to knock out small ships without them ever entering range, rather than what they were doing before, which was forcing smaller ships to manouver out of the way of giant, slow slugs
>>
>>172727896
>breaks your net regardless of the speed you set it to

Need to do the ini edit so it doesn't do that, anon.
>>
>>172728042
Maybe they realized that making bullets slow is a terrible balance decision and came to the logical conclusion that the difficulty in hitting a small agile ship should come from the pilots skill with said ship and his ability to fly erratically/evasively/make use of his maneuverability and not just be a mechanically difficult thing to do by virtue of weapon stats.

Massive enclosed bulk freighters when? There exists no option for bulk cargo in unsafe space. Even with an Escort a Hull E is too vulnerable and it's cargo to easily destroyed. What If I need to move entire prefab base structures into a vanduul held system?

yeah people who take pride in pvping with the title in its present state don't have a terrible lot going for them. the game is a complete joke through multiple prisms of viewing and thoroughly broken in several others.

what they entered the testing with was perfectly fine and could have changed all of this but nope, pander to dad forum whining and revert changes that you wasted time bothering to explain and take five steps back when you could have taken ten forward were these stupid fucking people given the intelligence necessary to play their own fucking game

no, 4 planets, all the moons, all the asteroids, all the stations, anything less will be a shitstorm and I will PERSONALLY take part for the first time. This shit has gone on too long for alterations. there are no fucking excuses. there has been nothing significant added to the alpha in a year.

3.0, ALL of 3.0 by the end of June, or fucking riot. that will be 18 months from the launch of PU alpha, 9 months from the announcement of 3.0 and 6 months past the projected launch date of 3.0 a date which they STILL have not acknowledged, despite there being a mountain of evidence about it and it being posed in a completely unequivocal way, in connection with a sale that made them a ton of money, If 3.0 is not fucking soon then they flat out fucking lied to us about it for profit.

>>172747647
m8 just stop playing, there are other games. It's dead, let it lie. There is no future In E:D it will never be a better game than it is, just longer with more drawn out mechanics to extract time and money from you.

I'm saying this as someone who just quit WoW, after 12 years, becasue finally, in my eyes the game had no future, and the Devs had no intention of giving it a future. Just stop playing, there is no better tomorrow to hold out for in E:D. SC as much as I froth lately has a future, E:D just doesn't because of whole is in charge of it. I honestly think that EA could eat FDev and it would improve the game, but thats not going to happen because E:D is a dead game and EA only likes money. The only thing you can hope for in terms of the Franchise is that some publisher buys the IP and makes a game out of it since half assed space games are thing publishers do now to cash in on SC's wake.

It is unreal how strong this is, but the rounds from the PB and 788 pass through in online against NPC, so single player modes only.

Are E:Dgoys actually getting completely cucked out of spacelegs?

Can I see a source to that? Because I'm pretty sure I've heard of more than a few people clinging onto the game heavily because that was going to be one of the features.

You can't mount size 2 on the wings. they are size 3 only. You have to use a gimbal mount and lock it.

Monoboating S2 keep the pips converged, you can gimbal just the 4, but I found locking them and using the 2 s1 guns also was a little more effective. You can still turn inside a hornet, even fixed.

But now they've gone and jeopardised the entire thing.

>>172748616
You know what else is on the Starfarer store page? A mention that the Starfarer G has less cargo and maneuverability than the regular variant. I'll believe it when I see it. Same with the refueling boom that was supposed to be added in some update, but we've never heard anything new about that either.
>>
>>172748851
>>172748930
What will really happen is it'll get a module that replaced the six fuel storage tanks with a set of the External cargo magplates the Hull C uses. So it'll have a largeish internal bay and a larger external rack to clamp crates onto.

you know, I don't want to defend E:D. They could cancel spacelegs and I would be completely unfazed. But I do feel compelled to point out that it's April first, also known as the worst fucking day of the year. The day when everyone is a shithead and think they're HILARIOUS while doing it.

The question about spacelegs was asked on one of the recent Q&A streams, iirc. They are not canceling it, partially because they never announced it, but they said that it won't be added any time soon, which probably includes season 3, which is at least 2 years from finished.

They've said from the beginning the Stanton system would be rolled out gradually over the course of 3.x.

I think E:D is being punished for raising a shit storm over the too numerous to list here reasons there have been non stop shit storms recently.

They were fine in the past having space legs be the common knowledge of planned features. So much so, that the two biggest memes here are "3.0 when" and "space legs when".

Now that there is open revolt over their continued hamfisted approach, they are saying maybe, if ever for the single most desired feature in the game. What a disgusting, vile developer Frontier is.
>>
>>172751036
NO THEY FUCKING HAVEN'T YOU SHILL.

"The stanton system" was 3.0. It would not be full, but it would have 4 planets with major LZs and several moons and stations and a bunch of floaty space rocks. They have since rolled mining into 3.0 too because it has taken them so fucking long to get it out the door that some of the devs who actually work most days haven't been fucking around Mo-capping 300 variations of the vanduul mating dance, and actually built a system.

Sorry, but i 35+ and play with people over 100+ who are mainly 35+, and every single one us are for PVP, we just want the correct mechanics to the game. The correct crime and punishment...

The problem is the younger instant gratification generation (The millennials) that want god ships, no consequences to choices they make and think they are more important than everyone else, instant ship transfer because 5 jumps is to much hard work for them, so they must have game breaking mechanics to justify their laziness...

That is the problem... I want to kill people, with no consequences, because it's my right yadda yadda, woffle woffle... their arguments go on, then they cry like babies because no one want to play with them in open.

So don't go blaming the older generation. We grew up rocket jumping lava pits in quake, long before most the instant gratification generation was born.

Actually you can blame the older generation. Just the one before you.
They grew up with extremele primitive game like Mario or castlevania, they didn't have many button to push so difficulty was about having inhuman reflex.

Now that Indy game allow to cater to smaller community they want their nostalgia back, so young and their "instant gratification" (mostly because there's more way to wins) have to suffer DADS reverting to simplistic mechanics and linear progression.

After all, who care if there's only one way to play?
In my time game were hard, we didn't have any pansy "alternate solution", "creative thinking" is just another word for "cheat"! In my time you either pushed the one button right on time or you died!

Probably not. there's so much going into 3.0, I bet we see incremental updates with various parts of it before they drop 3.0 and tie it all together. PU megamaps, refactored netcode, mining/professions, economy, etc. are all 3.0. I bet we see 2.7, 2.8, maybe 2.9 each with one of those things, and possibly incremental 2.x.x updates within them fixing bugs.

Look at those dead eyes. His face smiles but eyes are bereft of any emotion. He is a sociopath and lying doesn't create any issues for him. He's same kind of person as Peter Molyneux.

Star Trek Online devs replaced the default UI and combat sounds with funny voice sounds.

Honestly I think CIG is kind of miserable with this seasonal stuff. Their writing team puts out a lot of content compared to other studios, but CIG as a whole doesn't do very much seasonal stuff.

Like, Christmas events, halloween, easter, etc. They could throw stuff in the PU to fill it with more temporary content every few months to make it more interesting. And like with STO they give unique rewards for doing special events, they are normally worth doing for the reward.

I think CIG is basically not going to do any of that and I think it's disappointing.

Couldn't this be solved by flying to Robigo in an expendable ship, killing yourself in system, and then choosing to spawn back in your original system? The fine would be wiped but since you're not declaring bankruptcy you'd keep all your stuff. Am I wrong?

Nah, let's have a Cutlass sale, 10% off for subscribers.

>>172796098
But the winter event is basically almost the same every year, all they have to do is activate it and replace the reward. It doesn't need much attention.

Like I'm sure covering port olisar in flashing lights wouldn't take a huge amount of time. But desu I think it's probably too much to ask from CIG.

CIG is doing good to keep their own hugbox from bursting into flames. I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer volume of people calling for the 3.0 schedule WHILE they were announcing 2.6.2 live. It was bad enough for lando to have to respond several times before admitting it might be 2 weeks before the next schedule.

Diverting resources to make PO holiday themed may come off as a little more than tone deaf.

Disregarding the fact that all ships are too expensive, it just doesn't hold up well against the other cargo ships. Costs as much as a Starfarer but carries less, costs 50% more than a Hull C and $50 more than a BMM. All of its turrets combined have as much firepower as the Starfarer's forward facing guns.
Apart from that, it's a hueg ship and only the front half of it can be used for cargo, with about a third of each module being taken up by the central walkway and another big chunk by the catwalk.

I see the station in Robigo is only an outpost, so no large ships allowed. What's the best ship to do this in? I'm guessing a big cargo hold is a plus. Do they sell any appropriate ones there?

Using a Python will ensure you can accept all missions, but an Asp loaded up with nothing but cargo racks will still be able to take most of them.

The stats panel lists what you've spent on ships and outfitting total throughout your CMDR's life, not how much you currently possess.

It would be bester if the hangar could be swapped out of other things. That's a huge modular space that could make the ship into a truly flexible ship. As it sits now I'm afraid the Polaris is gonna quickly become obsolete in a fleet sense due to lack of role options.

we'll see exactly where the ship goes but i'm of the opinion that the hangar itself does in fact add a good bit of versatility. giving the space over to something along the lines of a terrapin for expansion of sensor capabilities for conversion into an almost direct C&C role. a fighter of some form could aid against something like a retaliator coming after you but i would indeed like the ability/choice to outright gut the section and slap something completely different in.

fingers crossed but i was satisfied by the idea at the onset. even an argo could fit into the corner alongside something a good deal larger to serve as an away-craft whilst the mothership hangs in orbit. it might not be versatile in overall function (MORTAL TORP COMBAT) but what it can do at the exact same time as that all-in killing function is staggering. small integral cargo hold and a massive fucking hangar at the basest of grades? everything is liable to change but even on the surface it's far from gimped. can't wait to see where the design goes but i know it sits in the far nethers of CIG's priorities so lel we'll see when it's even close to usable

otherwise fuk yea boi dat's sum crazy ~11-man ss13-esque shit waiting to happen doe tee bee aych senpaitachi

something like a biggo spinal mount doesn't strike me as particularly necessary when the vessel has a 28-capacity top-size-torpedo magazine that will probably upfuck goddamn anything to a reasonable extent by itself were the ship given enough opportunities for strike as to empty its reserves completely. that said a biggu spinal gun or enclosed cargo rack could make it very killer in different ways.

it's a mess. The PU has worse framerate than before. Whatever the new netcode is in SM, it performs worse than before. Several weapons don't travel correctly online, but work perfect in single player. The Bucc is good, but the optimum loadout doesn't work online.

I don't know what their intention is here, but this patch is objectively worse than before. The loading screens being gone from SM don't justify 15fps.
>>
>>172812995
Spinal turret would be the least interesting option Imo. I'd be more inclined to equip a vertical missiles launch magazine, maybe some more point defense turrets or a couple mid sized gun turrets for STS against smaller or similarly sized ships.

Or a Barracks for an infantry company and drop pod launchers. Or a larger EWAR nerve center. anything that could be dreamed up and built really.

>>172817416
>vertical missile array to just turn it into a fucking full-on ballistic missile submarine

i agree with you full on and I hope each of your ideas becomes reality. i can see this ship being the play-doh lil' capital that can be put into a dozen goddamn completely tangential roles depending on what's necessary were that space to be opened up for more general usage.

mite b fuckin' cool. it's a big ole cavity to fill with all sorts of shit and i find it rational to think they'll fill in what is, again, a capital ship more thoroughly through its life.
