EVE is free to play. You should get $30 more and buy Star Citizen, then join us in waiting shitposting, bitching about delays and getting slowly transmogrified into a pillar of salt.

>>173664807
Already bought it when it was cheaper.
Was hoping it would be out by now, thus the hole to fill.

>>173665020
EVE compliments these 2 games really well. Because when playing EVE you will see the grand scale of things and when "playing" SC you can fantasize how the game would look.

Eventually they will end up making Star Citizen into a bastard child of EVE and Elite Dangerous. Mark my words, screenshot this post, tattoo the date on your testicles.

Is there ever going to be a Capital ship system? Doesn't the game have like two cap ships?

>>173666684

They've hinted at players eventually having some form of "control" over capships. Not directly piloting them, but controling them. At best it will probably be a glorified version of ship launched fighters, only this time a lot bigger.

>>173668470
i hope they can only control it from an office on a station somewhere.

I wish they had gone ahead with grappling hooks to grab onto ships and cargo instead of tractor beams. Like, big ones for ships and handheld ones for EVA. I reckon they would have fit in with their aesthetic a lot more and would have made pic related shitloads cooler having a bunch of shock troopers bail out in space and grapple onto any poor fuckers nearby.

Why haven't you joined?

Why can't we have a perfect mix of SC and E:D?
SC will never be finished at this point but they have the better graphics, ship design and flight system.
E:D is pretty much a complete game but the ships are utterly uninspiring and it's basically and single player game.
Can't we have something in between those two? RIGHT NOW?

>>173681054
>and it's basically and single player game

Servers are currently down while they update for 2.3.

2.3 will have multicrew, which will (At the very least) give SOME form of real player interaction.

Agreed. Best combat ship.

>2.3 will have multicrew, which will (At the very least) give SOME form of real player interaction.

Multicrew is DOA and no one is going to use it after the novelty wears off. Like almost every fucking Ftroop feature update, it's a shitty minigame that is entirely separate from the actual game, and they nerfed it into the ground so you can't even help newfriends to make some starter cash.

2.3 is dropping today I think, are bounties still getting nerfed?

I hope SC has a nugget equivalent, a no frills ultra cheap guns with good stopping power but limited fire rate and no real room for expansion.

>>173694147
It takes 12 weeks or so to put a single weapon in the game, and all they've shown is tacticool shit.

I remember CR saying several years ago he'd put in a collectible handgun in the game, a M1911 if I'm not mistaken. But honestly I'm not going to get excited about it, I don't even believe him.

Chris didn't say that an executive producer said that and he left.

Once the weapon pipeline is mature we'll start seeing more weapons as needed.

The FPS needs alot of work like the cover system, general polish, getting the ai working and polished. I wish more of the FPS devs gave interviews besides level designer Sean Noonan and the head Ai in Frankfurt.

Sean was on a fan podcast recently if anyone wants to hear this thoughts on the fps.

Not the OP but I also have seen it mentioned, because connecting 2 ships together causes too many problems leading to ships destroying themselves. It's probably why the connie is taking so long to have the parasite fighter attached and working.

They were even considering combat drop so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible technically

And CIG said they created a new gameplay for piracy that wasn't about docking. Not that they couldn't dock two ship. I'm not the one making shit up. That's like the goon claiming SC is doomed because it can't have 16 players without lag.

Anyway I never saw docking working for piracy. The ring would be bottleneck and the only safe way to go around it.

Firstly, let me state that I love Elite, I've ploughed £££ into playing it.. bought a HOTAS, broke that one.. bought a warthog.. and rudders.. bought a 980Ti.. now saving for new cpu/mboard combo and a Rift.. and all because I love Elite Dangerous. I really appreciate the work the Dev's put into it, I have no idea how you even code this stuff.. (I'm a network engineer, I only code routers and switches).. so now that I think I have made my point that I love Elite.. here's the thing...

Why (oh why oh why oh why).. does it feel on release day that I am still playing Beta 2.3?

Let me illustrate this point:

Broken Galaxy Map in 4k
Broken System map in 4K
Purchased ship name plates / ID plates and even a suit pack at 19:00 BST, still not delivered in game at 22:00
Mercifully the stuttering that plagued my gameplay in 2.2 around stations is all but gone.. mostly, it's much much better now
Planetary landings however.. umm anything other than a gentle bank turn results in the landscape jerking past the cockpit window at around 3fps.. which is weird because the game isn't actually lagging, the ship moves and rolls fine, it's the planet thats taking time to 'catch up'.. but I digress.. the point is.. surely you must have a 4k monitor test rig? right? You did test the game before releasing it? Or read the myriad of bug reports and act upon them?

>>173739162
are you cpu bound? the stuttering is probably either you are out of memory bandwidth on your video card, or your cpu is maxed. if you aren't cpu bound, try it at 1440p with dynamic resolution and see if it still stutters.

>>173739162

E:D ships are ridiculously durable from the get-go, let alone before you start piling on armor. Plus shields in that game are extremely resistant to explosives.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15827-Advocacy-Archive

I'm so quickly running out of good will for ED. The multicrew shit is so underwhelming it's absurd. Though idk if that's the features fault or a result of the extreme lack in depth for literally everything outside of combat.

When you join someone's ship you get a small cut of any bounties/bonds depending on your combat rank.

Assuming you can get MC to work at all.

>>173748476
you can make decent cash though it cuts it down significantly if you're a lower rank
for a beginner, multicrew might actually be the safest way to make quick cash early on but you'll miss out on a lot of basic flight skills

also, it's unreliable as fuck at the moment along with bad commanders who will kick you if you don't telepathically know what they want you to do

So are big ships worth it now that multi-crew is a thing?

>>173752568
not even memeing the most important things in 2.3 for me is:

1. station orientation when in SC
2. galaxy/system map and main menu optimizations
3. mrp buffs

if i had to save 3 things from 2.3 and burn the rest those are the first things to come to mind. that's pretty pathetic.

the character creator is neat and does function better than i anticipated but it doesn't change the fact that in this stage of development it's almost pointless. it's entirely pointless when you consider the only thing giving it some purpose is multicrew and that has a pretty good chance of ending up as dead content.

maybe down the road it actually turns into a real game and i'll stop playing it because it stops being that mindless thing to grind while listening to a podcast or watching a movie. i might have to find something else.

who am i kidding, fdev will never get their shit together.

Fair enough

>Station orientation while in SC
What is this?

wait do you need horizons to access holome?

>>173755463
If you lock onto a station in sc it's orientation is now correctly displayed on your dash. This allows you to exit sc right in front of station entrance every single time.

To accomplish this before you needed to know which pole of the planetary body the entrance was pointed towards so you had to visited the station at least once. Further, to remember which pole is which you needed to uses stars/nebulas as a point of reference.

It was pure autism.

>station orientation when in SC

YE

>>173755463

When targeted, a station's hologram actually rotates and shows its orientation relative to you now. Even in supercruise.

>>173756243
>>173756281
Well, at least that sounds like a decent QOL feature. As minor as it is. Though I assume it still requires you to maneuver in the bitch that is supercruise.

>>173756361
Pretty big when you consider the number of hours you spend in sc, and how much time you can lose having to line up with the mailslot. Shit like this is important and ought to be prioritized above laying the bones for features we wont see completed for another 2 years

>>173756605
When I used to play I used to smuggle, so I know the amount of time I spent flying out to 10km, lining up with the shitty slot, and boosting in.

Anyone know a good place to grind out donation missions for feds? Just want to bang out the last few ranks to get a vette for multicrew and I'm not seeing any at 17D.

>>173757028

Shoulda when you coulda.

RIP 17D.

How can Frontier fuck up time and time again?

>>173757815
It's still the same, you just can't stack massacres, so less people will go there and BGS will slow down with wars.

i can't plot routes anymore on either galaxy or system maps anymore. when i click on a star to select it, no options bar for plotting route or system info comes up. in fact, it even automatically deselects the star. Any thoughts?

>>173758645
They somehow managed to fuck up the maps, even though there were no changes to them.

That's so lame. If I had a kid, I would make him to play guitar until his little fingers are bleeding. I would also enroll him to martial arts class since age 3. Fuck these fatass "daddies".

As a faggot who spent probably more than 50% of my total lifteime on a computer since I was about 6, introducing your kids to vidya is the worst thing you could do for them.

Most of them are 20 somethings with no life and no future.

Go easy on them, they don't have much but bile. What does it matter in the long run anyway, they'll all die alone and with no accomplishments.

How do i farm Imperial rep in ED, i just came back since right after the dads started their own bubble by Sag A?
Is it still massing up skimmer missions and carpet bombing them to death with mines or farming conflict zones?

Derek Smart (Battlecruiser 3000), the game developer, was apparently banned from somethingawful.com for revealing personal information about a prominent Star Citizen backer.

I thought he was already banned. Or was that on the E:D forums?

>>173768168

somethingawful bans just make you pay another ten dollars and you can get back in

I think the mods at E:D have a soft spot for Derek so they waived his previous bans and let him back on

They love him, I think even reddit has a subforum all about him

>>173768402
Theres a subreddit dedicated to how insane he is. He's not allowed to post there, for obvious reasons.

It's now Q2, 2017, and 2.3 is out. That means my long wait for the PS4 version is almost over. Been lurking this thread for years, and I'm ready. Just a few more weeks and I can finally get into space.

Any other potential PS4 lurkers here? Add ParkingtigersX on PSN, we'll have to setup a goon PS4 group for this game and get ourselves organises (ha).

Been browsing the Frontier store in anticipation. Those ship kits for the smaller craft look fun. I can tell I'm going to throw a ton of money at making my pretend space car look prettier than your pretend space car. The true endgame.
