I will try my best trying to shitpost 24/7. It's only Thursday so going to work without sleep is fine. I would honestly think that now before July 12th there would be more Star Citizen shitposting. Or was it all just a one guy after all. No time to think, it's time to shitpost!

We just need to say up 24/7 and post every 15 minutes. 4 posts/hour. I think there's at least 3 people on this thread right now.

>>181837780
what kind of goon doesnt even know about the poster count?

>>181828391
Why are people so obsessed with coming out facing the mail slot? Is not hard to just fly around and go in.

So today we get to look at pretty planets and maybe an announcement about evocati getting their hands on the first build.

I'm bumbling my way through this game right now and I'm sitting on 17 million credits. I pretty much just bounty hunt and explore, what ship and weapons should I go with? I have a Viper MKIII right now with 2 pulse lasers and 2 rail guns but I'm pretty stumped trying to figure out what the next step for me is

>>181840942
Don't waste your money unless it guarantees you hundreds of millions of credits. For a competitive pvp ship with decent equipment you will need that few hundred millions. Yes, 500,000,000 credits.

In the meanwhile I think you could try to get Diamondback Scout/Explorer, not really sure which one is better. Don't take my advice about the ship too seriously. Just concentrate on getting more money so you can finally start to play the game.

i'm on Merope 5C because I hear there are barnacles here to harvest

How will I know I found it? Do I just have to run into it? Outcrops only showed up on my radar when i was pretty close.

>>181843058
You need to scan the navigation beacon with Advanced Discovery Scanner.

>Go to Alcazar's Hope on Merope 2A. (To save you scanning every planet, it's the 2nd planet from the sun on the system map, first moon).
From Alcazar's Hope you can see a Capital Ship hovering over a valley. The barnacles are underneath it; there are two sets; one spent, one fresh.

>>181840942
find a place to stack missions in
work towards bigger ships

actually i alt-tabbed back and watched a ship landing directly on top of the barnacles
we chatted for a bit but there were no fruits on the barnacle so we're ditching it

>>181844031
thanks, i'll check that one out next!

I think I'm going to launch ED after 2 month break. It's kinda exciting. Exciting in this lame and boring way because I know that fooling around for 30 minutes I will probably close the game and do something else. But shitposting on this general should be constant, keep up the stinkers coming in, we don't want to die before 750 posts!

Why this happens from time to time? Disconnection from server?

I am having the hardest time getting anywhere with elite dangerous, I've toyed with all the major jobs but I can't seem to break the 25 mil mark
I play on Xbox with 2 of my buddies and they are bounty hunters and I just can't get into that, it feels like there is so much more to do than circle through hazrez and claim your bounties when you escape a fight you can't win, I'm in a keelback with a fighter bay and it's not strong enough to fight, and it's not big enough to make mining profitable what should my next steps be if I want to achieve an anaconda

>>181839017
Facing the mail slot is good for increasing your chances of getting into a station when smuggling or wanted with out getting scanned.
Unfortunately its way easy to avoided getting scanned even if you end up in the stations ass, I don't know when it happened but there is no challenge anymore.

>>181839108
Topsy kekaroo

The only announcements CIG is able to deliver is about delays and estimates they know themselves are impossible.

>>181839463
We have evocatifags here , right?
we'd know if evocati got 3.0, right?

>>181850639
Probably yeah.
But evocati is slated for last week of July/first of August if I'm not mistaken so I REALLY don't expect them to somehow announce evocati today.

>>181850639
They won't have it for another 2 weeks at least.

>>181850796
It'll be at least another 2 weeks after at least the next 2 weeks after the next 2 weeks.

>>181850796
>at least
Just checked the 3.0 schedule, and the latest projected date for evocati is the 20th, 2 weeks from today. But knowing CIG, they'll delay it to the very last second and you'll be spot on.

>>181855447
They forgot to update the Evocati and PTU dates to the correct date which is about 2 weeks into august. (But this is also a bullshit estimate only to be pushed 2 more months).

CHRIS GIVE ME ATV YOU FUCKING CUNT I WANT IT NOW FUCK CHOKE TO DEATH FAGGOT

>>181855697
Chris isn't the one editing it, they probably have to go over the episode with a fine tooth comb to remove anything from the background they don't want to spoil. Probably being more thorough because this one involves planets.

Did someone call Derek?

The July blog is here!

>>181860791
>H-Haha I'm l-laughing!
Derek Smart is a fascinating man.

>>181861328
Real talk here do you think RSI will take him to court after they launch the game for all the shit he has pulled?

>>181862747
Probably not. After the whole Escapist spergout, Chris has probably realized Derek isn't worth it.

>>181860791
Thank you Derek, the savior of gaming and truly a smart man. 180+ IQ and COUNTING.

>>181863134
What happened with the Escapist was it some sort of legal thing because the letter and the story were both taken down by each.

>>181862747
I think Derek is on Chris's side.
Hidden payroll, just to create super cheap PR for the game.
Everybody loves to read about problems in succesfull companies.

>>181864185
Escapist took their articles down because it was proven that their sources were all bullshit. Chris took his autistic ranting down probably because Ortwin made him. Hell, he told Chris not to post it I'm the first place because it would make them look fucking horrible, but he did it anyway.

WHERE THE FUCK IS ATV ROBERTS

Why does this thread continue to be revived? Evocati is a month off, at best. 3.0 before gamescom isn't going to happen. AtV is just more pipelines and self aggrandization. What is there to talk about aside from kicking the thread along page 10?

>>181868586

>>181868586

>>181868709
>>181869027
I'm just wondering why the thread gets revived for 8 hours of shitposting before it dies again? Why not leave it dead until there is actually something to talk about?
Now we have several short threads in the archive with no discussions, just shitposting. Why not just go to /v/ and shitpost instead of dragging this thread along for no reason?

>>181869025
The new camera suite. You need to manually bind the keys for it I think so just go to check your preferences first.

>>181869127
I repeat, what fucking difference does it make to you? People want to post in the thread so they make the thread. You brain dead nigger.

>>181869127
Usually there is a sense of community. Community doesn't stop to wait until there is a new patch... Look at /wowg/ for example, it never stops. You get the idea. There's tons of stuff to talk about regarding these games and space in general as well. I'm not here to talk about patch notes...

>>181869127
You don't actually need to be on this thread. You can always read the patch notes from the readme.txt and stay away.

>>181869276
>community
Community is what kept this thread going for over a year and a half of no content except for Grimhex and a couple of ships from CIG. We have been talking about the same exact content for over 18 months. No general does anything close to that. /pubg/ is already dieing, but they have the self awareness to realize it already. There is literally nothing to discuss except AtV and triggering all of you.

>>181869534
No argument, but what would be the fun if I couldn't shitpost too? I have just as much nothing to talk about.

>>181870217
>Haha I was just ebin trolling xDDDD

>>181870528

I could be doing some aussie tier dadposting right now, but I'm concerned anon. People think SC is a cult and you aren't helping abate that generalization. I'm sure there are summoning memes on the Spectrum you could be upboating right now.

File: Jo_Joyner132.jpg (54KB, 1024x576px) Image search: [Google]

54KB, 1024x576px

I actually have to agree.
There is no point discussing anything because:
1. CIG aint listening to 4chan fags.
2. Nothing is set in stone so everything is just guess work at best.
3. We have no idea where this is heading until 3.0.

When 3.0 releases and we get some more insight into where this is heading, then we can start throwing shit again, because then we have something to aim at.

SCG is closer to Shitposing Community General

>>181871745
The shitty part is there isn't even enough to speculate with. CIG presented everything in such a vague and disconnected way, it's hard to understand if we are getting something that will be a great game eventually, or if they are putting lipstick on a pig and 3.0 is a janky mess that's not worth fucking with.
The worst part is how dead this game is really going to be if this flops. I'm biased towards wanting it to win, but CIG's obvious stalling over UI features to drag this to Gamescom makes everything just that much worse.

Are the systems like in No Man's Sky where it's just an area that you need to load and then can't get away unless you hyperdrive or can you actually go to another system without HD ?

>>181879183
Seamless star systems connected with jump gates. Your ship needs a jump drive to cross a jump point. Each system is supposed to be much more filled than NMS.

>>181885696
It still is and they haven't patched it out. I'm soon half billion credits and still rising.

what's this meme that 3.0 is stripped and scaled down? has anyone actually compared current and past feature lists?

>>181887271
No planets or 60 fps

>>181887506
That's misleading.

They put in loads of network fixes which will improve framerate dramatically.

While it's true there are no planets, there are moons to land on, plus Delamar is a dwarf planet with a landing zone.

The rings on Yela look cool as hell but I fucking hate the way the asteroids LOD into the ring. It looks really bad.

In fact, their LOD distance in general is pretty bad in SC.

>>181887271
There's no mining. That's for sure.

>>181888153
Mining was always a 3.1 feature wasn't it?

>>181888737
It was, until Brian Chambers said "mining will definitely be in 3.0" multiple times, and then CIG silently forgot about it.

Mining was initially promised in 3.1 but lets say you're right that doesn't mean 2016 3.0 has greater scale than current 3.0 with features like outposts,character creation,IA,item 2.0 with cockpit interactions,doors and airlocks,stamina...plus we're getting refueling,the prospector and the 85X which were set for 3.1 all of this was never promised in last years release .

Just more disconnected glamor shots. Nothing of substance, again. No gameplay, no indication of what 3.0 is like, just still shots and camera pans of non production assets. A few seconds of Cutlasses flying with all the transitions edited out until they are on the ground.

>>181898070

Titan has a liquid atmosphere and is in our solar system. Probably no trees though.

>24fps max on empty moon surface
>15 max looking at empty moon surface from atmosphere

was this based on their GPU-less dedicated server or on actual systems? they worded it oddly there, and i know netcode holds the game back but even i know to expect 30-40fps from most modes in 2.63. hopefully theyre not going too hard on the detail of these moon textures.

assuming 3.0 isnt just so restricted by netcode that it's barely playable, i'd hoped for better than 15-25fps

>>181907003
Because they have to hype people up for a release that is likely a month away or more.

>>181907824
I mean, they have been talking about all the play testing that all the studios have been doing. Is the game so fucking rough that they can't show any of the play testing that has been going on for months?
It would be nice to see rough, unpolished gameplay that shows them doing the things they have been talking about. I find it hard to believe no one has seen what any of this is going to look and play like yet.

>>181908387
They are going to hold shit back because they have to have new things to show on ATV.

>>181907003
They did show this with the 2 cutlass' as well as frame counters in the top right. 15 fps stable on atmo entry which is very worrisome, and then 24 was the highest after landing on the planet getting on foot.

i'm just growing increasingly skeptical of whether they realize that a game running at under 60fps, let alone this 150 million dollar hype train, is not acceptable under any circumstance, and i'm really questioning how high of a priority the netcode is for them

literally nobody will give a fuck how cool 3.0 is if it's running at 15-25fps on a server with 4 cutlasses and 4 players, let alone a server filled with 20 starfarers that a bunch of assholes left floating around olisar

>>181908936
At the risk of sounding like I'm defending CIG, maybe they could get a pass if the low fps is hardware chugging and not network. If it takes a Linus meme rig to run it and it's not netcode bound, that can be improved. If it's still 20fps with 30% gpu utilization, that's a problem. They have to be aware of how shit it is now.

>>181908503
They are literally delaying 3.0 for UI dressing. This community is so fucked for not being up in arms over stalling and bullshit that should be tiny patches once the core game is playable.
Delaying the game over character customizing when it runs 15fps will be the death knell of this project.

Doesn't seem to have anything to tweet about looking at his feed. Normally by now his declared 15 different ways ATV proves he was right about all his claims.

>Look even the game character is dying of boredom.
When I play ED I keep thinking an in-game web-browser would be really useful to pass the time.

Really wish they would re-work jump drives so it was more interactive and a journey "10 jumps away" was less an exercise in watching 10 different loading screens. I've suggested making it like the X series/Gemini "hyperspace tunnels" where the player has to navigate the ship in witchspace, fly around each star (game would not load the star system unless the ship was interdicted - ship shows up as a FAST moving contact, interdiction ship has a few seconds at best but much easier to target) until the ship reached the destination system. Something interactive and doesn't require uselessly loading systems the player doesn't care about.

if i could run any mode of the game at more than 45 FPS with 6gb VRAM (utilizing 4gb of that) a shiny new 1800x, and 32gb of 3200 DDR4 than i'd love to know how

it's clearly a network issue, the only thing that i find odd is that they want to show frame counters for their super controlled internal builds with 4 players on them (the actual 3.0 examples, made to be obvious that it's the actual ingame footage) , and then run an offline cryengine cinematic tool mode "gameplay demo" with a monstrous 64gb ram rig (IE the mode they use for basically every high FPS good looking "in engine" footage they've ever shown off - it's a mode that basically removes whatever isnt being seen and boosts graphical quality of the featured onscreen in engine camera, far far beyond what would be possible in the actual game - "in engine" is their cheeky way to make people think this is accurate ingame footage) and call it a representation of the game in the same video

theyre making their actual ingame footage look bad with 15fps in the corner, and then going on to make the fake cinematic mode gameplay look amazing in the same video, i guess theres someone dumb enough to not see the difference but god damn it's insulting when they don't explicitly make it clear that the cinematic mode footage is fake as fuck and nothing like what we'll be playing

m8 go read the schedule report
They're not just delaying the UI because they want prettier graphics. The UI features that were delayed were almost entirely mobiglas apps for interacting with the world. AKA core features.

>stalling
Just admit you're butthurt because 3.0 is taking longer than you want it to take. It makes no sense for them to "stall" a patch like this. Imagine how much money they're going to make once 3.0 comes out with actual gameplay, they get a load of new players, and they can funnel all of them to the jpeg store during the next sale.

>>181931740
Most of the items that are still open are UI and AI features that are not CORE gameplay. Mobiglas is not a core feature, they could easily have something already implemented for it(like the current fucking mobiglas) and update it later, but they are holding the entire patch for a star map that you don't need yet.
There is absolutely no fucking reason for them not to have a functional 3.0 that they could deliver. Delaying it so they can add customization UI for the characters and vehicles is just so convenient considering how close the next game con is.
Go ahead and tell me how polishing UI features on a 15fps alpha is going to make the experience that much better.

There are already 2 completely different ways to set your ship up. Why do they have to make a 3rd method before releasing the rest of 3.0? It makes no sense. We are supposed to be getting the delta patcher, so no more big patches, but they are holding the whole thing up to cram small features in that aren't gameplay and are already represented in game.

One statement does not absolutely define a position. You really had to comb to get that one detail, but I will concede that I come from the critics position.
Based on the details provided by CIG, they have a low performing highly polished patched that is feature complete except for character customization and further AI development.
Given CIG's previous history and CR's bloodlust for game cons, it's pretty reasonable to assume they will have some huge blowout announcement to move jpegs.
CIG has never delivered anything early and has no real incentive to do so as long as people continue to accept the schedule without question.
I never would have dreamed I would get roasted for pointing out the obvious from CIG here. This was supposed to be trhe last bastion of non culty discussion, but it seems lost now.

I thought it was "stalled" due to the mobiglas and vehicle customzation, too? Get your story straight.

>Given CIG's previous history and CR's bloodlust for game cons, it's pretty reasonable to assume they will have some huge blowout announcement to move jpegs.
If they wanted to push jpegs, it would make the most sense to get 3.0 out a few weeks before gamescom, get some players, then show off some super radical far-future prototype gameplay of what Star Citizen will be in "weeks not months" and then launch a sale to collect shekels from all the new players. Your conspiracy theory doesn't make any sense.

>CIG has never delivered anything early and has no real incentive to do so as long as people continue to accept the schedule without question.
3.0 hasn't even been close to ready until very recently. In the grand scheme of things, a month delay on an alpha patch is completely meaningless. You're working yourself up over literally nothing. You act like CIG is trying to perpetrate some long con, which is absolutely insane. If Chris wanted to take the money and run, he would have done it a long time ago.

>I never would have dreamed I would get roasted for pointing out the obvious from CIG here.
>It's obvious! If you don't agree you're a CULTIST!
Stay fucking paranoid, ideologue.

>This was supposed to be trhe last bastion of non culty discussion, but it seems lost now.
Very little culty discussion goes on here. You're just an ideologue who wants everything to be polarized. People who don't share your position must be on the opposition team. The fact that you keep crying "cultist!" is proof enough of that.

Gamescom is the 22nd. Have you looked at the schedule? This is exactly what CIG is doing.

>>181940456
Having 3.0 come out a week before Gamescom isn't nearly enough time to advertise and drive new game package purchases.

It makes perfect sense to anyone with a calendar.
Launches are all about timing. The difference in revenue for CIG for getting it "right" versus missing a big sales opportunity is millions of dollars. If you think games work any other way, you can expect to be disappointed.

>>181942007
>Launches are all about timing.
No shit. But CIG isn't making their money from the launch of 3.0. They're making their money from the big-money ship sales after people get invested in the game.

That investment takes some time for dads with a checkbook since they can't play all the time. It would be ideal to have dads playing 3.0 for a few weeks, then drop a super cool 4.0 demo at Gamescom and announce a ship sale at the same time.

But that can't be what they're doing because the timing is wrong.

>>181942184
>But CIG isn't making their money from the launch of 3.0
You have lost your mind. Look at the sales chart compared to the launch dates. Every time they update, there are new players. 3.0 has been the line in the sand for most hold offs, so the effect would be even more pronounced with 3.0.
This is a massive update and they are timing it to have 3.0 playable at gamescom and probably show SQ42 for the presentation.
Once the netcode and major subsumption issues were resolved, they could have launched and focused on smaller patches, but playing a month old patch isn't as fresh as playing the new hot shit going into hype convention with a huge announcement.

>>181941869

Almost certainly, yeah.
I don't think he was outright bullshitting us because he's autistically attached to his project and is probably more hyped about it than all of us, but he thought that just because they were able to whip up a quick demo of planetary landing etc meant that those systems were even close to ready for public release.

Are you kidding? Bethesda has never done anything remotely complex for their games. There has never been an attempt to push the technology forward, no attempt to make mechanics interesting and complex, nothing. It's just a continuation of bastardized RPG mechanics.
Explain to me what's complex about a scheduler for a few hundred NPCs, a combat system from the 90s, a world that divides most of the dungeons into separate loaded levels, a static game economy, a few randomly generated enemies, etc.
Popularity doesn't mean shit in this regard.

>>181945492
It honestly still baffles me. Like, he couldn't have been lying. There's no way he legitimately thought that lie would turn out well. There just fucking isn't.

But how could he be SO uninformed about his game that he though they could finish in 4 months what has actually taken them almost a year?

I really don't think Chris is a liar. He's way too autismal to be a good conman. But, I seriously cannot figure out what the fuck was going through his head.

>>181945574
No source, just speculation. They won't delay 3.0 past gamescom, even if it means they have to push it out buggy and broken or remove more features. It would be a PR disaster if they had nothing to show at Gamescom. They'll get it into evocati soon for two reasons. One, to give people the progress they want to see. Two, to bug test the feature-complete things so that even if they have to gut more shit from 3.0, at least the stuff that they do release won't be a buggy disaster.

>>181945601
>CIG wishes they could sell SC for 10 years and port it to everything but your refrigerator.
Literally what? Chris has a hateboner for consoles because he partially blames them for the limitations of his past games. He's repeated ad nauseum that SC will never be released for consoles.

>>181943384
Chris dose not have his sights set so low as a Bethesda game, he want to beat CD Projekt Red at this their own game.

>>181945492
He was marketing. He was taking the knowledge that he had and spinning it for the most profit. He wasn't lying outright, he just presented the facts in a way that didn't work out.
>>181945950
Right now. Nothing to stop that in 5 years when consoles are strong enough and the money is on the table.
>>181946020
>Chris dose not have his sights set so low as a Bethesda game
No argument, but there is nothing to stop them from copying one of the most applauded marketing moves in gaming. Marketing =/= anything about the game itself.

>>181946370
>Right now. Nothing to stop that in 5 years when consoles are strong enough and the money is on the table.
In 5 years Chris will make them re-do all the assets and rendering to keep the game looking current on modern gaming PCs. :^)

I can't wait for 3.0 to come out and be a pretty okay patch with a decent amount of gameplay, but to also see the absolute meltdown people will have when it doesn't live up to their ridiculous hype.

He should let Erin Roberts have the spotlight this year... as Chris Roberts seem to be as 'believable' as a net with shit (in case you don't realize; you can't keep a shit in a net unless the shit is some real solid shit)

uhhhhhhhh this is this backend feature which won't affect gameplay at all.......
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh bar citizen???

Did they announce a solid release date for 3.0? I'm getting tired of this bullshit, evasion and lies. And what about those giant loans Chris took? This is like from a movie but usually in the movies they try to establish a brothel and scam the money somehow but Chris wants to make a game instead. Same shit.

Source? Did a dev put this up, or did the pictures come from somewhere else?

I like the idea that the paint system can change most of the colors of your ship, but certain base colors/details are determined by the ship itself. I was hoping that's the route they'd go to deal with ship painting and limited-edition ship variants.

How the fuck is 15,000 people dying per year to pirate attacks even remotely a problem?

CIG is making the same problem so many other sci fi authors make, where they never truly grasp the scale of an interstellar civilization.

When will the production schedule be updated exactly? I just want to watch those deluded forum dads to just try and justify the new delays post gamescon.

see >>181945948 and >>181945950
Bethesda make very simplistic game mechanic, never learned to integrate physics and gameplay, and a Star Citizen main selling is that it will be PC only because you don't want to bastardize it for lesser race.

It's Bethesda who will be dreaming of buying CIG's tech so their next game don't look like shit in comparison.

>>181961817
They should just add 2 zeros to the number

>>181947580
I actually understand what that guy mean. But you have go look far into the past. PC gaming simply wasn't popular before, even by the time we started getting DSL based DSL it was better to buy a Playstation or a Nintendo (dream on Dreamcast) because you would get game that don't require instalation and actually looked prettier (for a while).

Nowadays, PC is master race, and console will even die to smartphone accessory.

All this fucking talk about both SC and E:D. Meanwhile there are no salvage mechanics whatsoever, no solo salvaging ship in SC and no salvage module (or wrecks from destroyed ships) in E:D.

How the fuck are new players supposed to leech older ones?

>>181965653
>no solo salvaging ship in SC
cutlass

>>181966257
Cutlass isn't a salvage ship. You can do basic salvaging with any ship that has cargo. But it's not "true" salvaging work. Just grabbing components and stuffing them in your cargo bay, really.

>>181966257

According to them, any ship with some cargo and a tractor beam can "salvage" but I think they mean the tractor will just pull in some stuff while you are forced to do the cutting by hand. That fucking sucks because it takes time and you are vulnerable.

There should be a small/medium ship with tools. And no, the Reclaimer is not meant to fly solo.

>>181965653

>>181966625
>i want a small/medium ship that can haul small/medium ships
how is this supposed to work

>>181967272
>haul small/medium ships
No, tear down other small/medium ships to strip them of valuable parts and materials.

>>181967272

Salvage isnt about taking home the entire ship. Its about analyzing wrecks and cut out valuable pieces like weaponry, engines, etc. You still need decent cargo though.

>>181966387
>>181966625
Tractor beam stops destroyed ships from rotating and drops their momentum to null. Cutlass has two foward tractor mounts for this purpose. It's a booty robber cargo salvager electric boogaloo

Don't confuse salvage and recycling.
The Reclaimer can probably recycle stuff, but for smaller ship it is more efficient to focus on cutting part that still work.

Detaching a gun from a wreck and putting it in cargo? That's salvage already.
And if you want a salvager smaller than the Reclaimer, you might have one: the Crucible
Find 3 damaged fighter, repair ones, resell it.
If it have the ability to modify ship, they maybe it can strip off metal.

on another topic,
I wonder when they'll finally get on integrating snub fighters.

>>181969116
>50k ship
CIG has already said that prices for ships are going to be greatly increased after launch.

Like, the rate might be $1 = 1000 UEC, so you migh think that a $100 ship would wind up costing 100,000UEC, but the prices are going to go up a lot. Buying a ship with real money now will be considered a good deal.

Ships are going to be fairly difficult to acquire. They want to emphasize upgrading your existing ship with new components, instead of outright buying a bigger ship. Bigger ships aren't necessarily better.

>>181969556

Probably not a bad idea for literal trash ships with no upgrade path. I don't want to have to spend 40 hours in-game so I can stop being raped by every pirate ambush because all I can equip are size 1 peashooters.

>>181969273

The Crucible is pretty much another corvette size vessel (or at least quite close to it). Its huge. No way its meant for flying solo.

Whats missing is a ship roughly the size of either a freelancer or a constellation with both tractor beams and cutting tools.

>>181972326
The Mustang isn't particularly awful. Upgrades aren't just about weapons hardpoints.
