/scg/edg/ Star Citizen Elite Dangerous general #179

Stop letting the thread die!

star citizen is the future of gaming, it's going to completely revive it, you watch you dirty kikes

can someone summarize the last 2 years of star citizen development?
I follow it in the most cursory manner but it's been getting harder and harder to find an objective summary of the situation
everyone is a retarded fanboy or something

>>182320780
Waiting for 3.0. Thats it. Many delays but now it seems like its coming to a close.

You guys plan on using your buyback tokens?

planet landings yet?

>>182320780
Backers continue to wait for Chris to split the waters and lead his chosen people to the promised land.

6+ month delays on anything tangible

>>182321558
Yes.

also rip my missions, if the downtime is 5h, then most of them will be gone

>>182331431
Rip your missions but not you. You'll just spawn either where you initiated the jump or floating where you would've ended up.

Hey can someone spoonfeed me please?

I haven't played Elite Dangerous since before Horizons released whenever that was.

Seems(on the surface) like there's been a lot added to the game, is any of it good?

Is it worth getting back into at all?

What are some of the update highlights?

Is it still shit to make any dosh?

>>182332110
>Seems(on the surface) like there's been a lot added to the game, is any of it good?
They have introduced various quality of life improvements, some of them good. YMMV

>Is it worth getting back into at all?
If you want to play the BGS, roleplay, not play just for the grind then maybe yeah.

>What are some of the update highlights?
Bugfixes and ayyyyyys if you care about them

>Is it still shit to make any dosh?
Almost all of the exploits have now been fixed.

>>182320780
So you're talking about 2015-2017. Here's my summary starting from around this time of year 24 months ago.

They released the social module, which is basically one level which would eventually serve as a planetside hub that you walk around and socialize in. This level looked decent but was devoid of any gameplay other than talking to other players.

The biggest thing to happen by far in the last two years was the release of Alpha 2.0, also known as the "Baby Persistent Universe", or simply Crusader (which is the single planet present in the zone). For the first time in the history of the alpha, you had a genuine space sim environment where you could warp to different locations and complete a few missions. They then released a number of updates to the Baby P.U. including new ships, weapons, armor, clothing, balance passes, and a new location.

Well before the release of Alpha 2.0, they had contracted the studio Illfonic to create the First Person Shooter module called Star Marine, as well as lay the foundation of Star Citizen's FPS mechanics in general. However, due to miscommunication and a lack of production oversight on the part of Cloud Imperium Games, Illfonic developed Star Marine using the wrong metrics and thus their work was largely incompatible with the rest of the game CIG had already been building. As a result, Illfonic was dropped and CIG brought development of Star Marine in-house, and had to start from scratch in many respects. This lead to a huge delay, but Star Marine eventually released as part of Alpha 2.6 (it was originally intended to come out before Alpha 2.0).

(Continued)

>>182332695
Since the release of 2.6, there have been a few smaller patches, but most development has centered on the upcoming Alpha 3.0 which will add three fully explorable moons and one moon-sized asteroid, cargo hauling and the first stages of a simulated economy, new missions, character customization, and new ships, weapons, and armor to Crusader. It was originally supposed to come out by the end of last year and feature an entire solar system, but it was delayed and scaled back in terms of scope.

No. In fact, most of it is still fairly broken or downright pointless.

>Is it worth getting back into at all?
It has never been worth getting into and that remains the case.

>What are some of the update highlights?
The ayys, but even that's being dragged out and hasn't had any real value or effect on anything.

>Is it still shit to make any dosh?
Yes. It will never NOT be shit to make money because the game's travel mechanics are hot fucking garbage, but everything relies on travel, so...

Haven't played since they released co-pilot thing.
Where is the game heading, what is the next update about and is it SOON™?

>>182341667
Next update is The Return. Ayys come back, more QUALITY FDev story-telling and they're supposedly going to focus on a lot of QoL features. It's slated for later this year. Expect disappointment.

So it bounty hunting grinding still the best way to make money?

Doesnt really matter what any of us believes anyway.

This is going to stay /Erectile Dysfunction/Shitposting Community General/ until something actually happens with these two games.

It doesnt matter if we talk about the games or not.
Everything in SC is going to end up totally different than what we expect if "insert feature" even make it into the game.

So far they are just downplaying or straight out scrapping most of what that they promised in 2014.

PS. ED is still unfun as hell and only works as a space grinder with a decsent VR support.

>>182346034
3.0 is going to be a disappointment. The general will probably have content for a month, but after that people are going to stop caring.
Is 4.0 going to be the last major content update? How many major content updates are we getting?

>>182350548
3.0 will probably be pretty good.

But people are still going to be disappointed. Partly from CIGs promises, and partly from their own ridiculous hype-fueled expectations. It was a mistake for CIG to wait this long. They need to do smaller, more frequent patches.

Maybe just save main mechanics like mining, farming, etc. for big patches.

>>182350664
The moons will be cool... tech demos. There won't be much to do on them.
The PU isn't getting much as far as network optimization, so performance should stay relatively the same (poor) performance
why will 3.0 be particularly good, apart from being an interesting tech demo?

>>182350548
Since CIG said they wanted to give us 2-3 "major" releases this year, we can maybe expect 1 half release, something like a stripped down 3.0.

They will tell us at CitizenCon that SQ42 and 3.1 is just around the corner and mention theyare talking about weeks, not months, but it will be at least February until we get some of the content that were said to be in 3.0.


THIS IS JUST A GUESS PULLED STRAIGHT OUT OF MY ASS,
but so far the statistics seems to back it up to some degree taking last years CitizenCon in mind.

>>182350924
>The PU isn't getting much as far as network optimization
This stupid-ass meme needs to die. We're getting loads of network optimizations

>>182350664

3.0 will only be a test to see if the tech holds up.
3.0 wont introduce anything new to play with.
We already have mission givers to some degree and landing on planets is going to become old after a very short while, but the tech is important to make the world feel seemless.


Hopefully 3.0 will be stable and let CIG release some huge content patches right after.

>>182351251
>3.0 wont introduce anything new to play with.
We're getting cargo runs, m8.

3.0 comes out and Star Citizen literally has feature parity with ED.

>>182351009
I've only heard that performance is expected to stay more or less the same, optimizations just keeping up with increased demand for network performance.
>>182350960
I wonder what they're going to show at citizencon to keep the hype train going. citcon 2016's presentation was pretty fucking sick but a year has passed and the content still is delivered. Not sure if they can pull citizencon 16 off again.

>>182351445
>I've only heard that performance is expected to stay more or less the same, optimizations just keeping up with increased demand for network performance.
That maybe the case. I haven't played it and we haven't gotten any "real" footage yet, so it's hard to say.

Still, there are quite a few network optimizations in 3.0.

>>182351815
>we haven't gotten any "real" footage yet
Why the fuck haven't we?
That has been a major gripe for me with Star Citizen for a while now.
They never actually show us the fucking build, they just show is snippets and bits and pieces and 2 second clips here and there in AtV

>>182351960
I wish they'd just spend happy hour playing through some of the latest build, instead of the garbage we usually get.

>>182352143
Would make it worth watching.
I don't know why CIG laud themselves as "unprecedented open development" when 3.0 has been in development for months yet we have seen literally nothing as far as uncut gameplay goes.
AtV isn't even worth watching.

>>182351431
>hyped for cargo runs
Are you Korean?

There are 1000s of other time consuming things to introduce that I'm sure is more fun than fucking cargo runs.

>Seems(on the surface) like there's been a lot added to the game, is any of it good?
Sort of. There's been a lot of QoL upgrades, and Horizons has added planetary landings, Engineers (upgrade your ship modules), ship-launched fighters, and multicrew. All in all, there's been a decent amount of stuff added, the problem is that there's still nothing much in the way of impactful gameplay that doesn't feel grindy.
>Is it worth getting back into at all?
At this point, I usually just play for a few weeks after each major update, then get bored again until the next one.
>What are some of the update highlights?
Alien gameplay is coming up next, but it remains to be seen whether or not it will be any good. Given that we're talking about FDev, it probably won't be interesting enough to hold anyone's attention for more than a little while.
>Is it still shit to make any dosh?
As far as I know, most of the old money-making tricks have been fixed, so you pretty much have to play the game "as intended" to make any serious cheddar.

>>182341667
After the alien update (2.4), FDev has said they're planning to focus on improving QoL and fleshing out the core gameplay experience. No idea what exactly that will entail, or if it will be any good.

>>182362428

How do you have fun in Elite Dangerous?

Serious question here. Its pretty and atmospheric and all, but what actual gameplay is there? I've been trying to find it for some hours now, no luck. Does it get better as you upgrade your ships/ get longer range? Or is it just a grindfest, and nothing more?

>>182363384
Elite Dangerous is the game of watching loading screens. Traveling isn't about how long it takes to get there, but how many loading screens you'll have to see.

Any fun you find is fun you've made for yourself.

>>182363845
I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'll just stick to X Rebirth until SC comes out. I've gotten back to it recently for the first time after the launch fiasco, and so far it actually seems playable, even fun in an arcade-y kind of way.

Panther Clipper's thing was that it was the largest ship that could go through the mailslot on the standard space station. It wasn't the largest freighter, those were the "Long Range Cruisers" and the "Lynx Bulk Freighter" which were much, much larger but relied on small craft to transfer cargo.

>>182366056

Still has to fit thru the mail slot and on a large landing pad, so it won't be that big.

Type-9 is half the length of an Anaconda, Anaconda is half the width of the Type-9. Could make a ship that's 4x the volume of either by making a ship as long and wide as both.

If an Anaconda is twice the length of a Type 9, but half the width, and you make a ship the same length as an Anaconda, and twice as wide to match a Type 9, then you've doubled an Anaconda, not quadrupled it.

>>182378581
A better seat? how so?

>>182378825
Literally the seat model is nicer. It's barely a cosmetic. It has no effect, it was just the earliest Aurora meme. That's why the Aurora is the only ship to highlight different seats, it was in the original commercial.

>>182378961
lol that's hilarious
$5 more for a different seat that's it? I got the Aurora MR > Mustang Alpha CCU and Mustang Alpha > Aurora LX CCU so might as well

>>182378190
The LX has a bigger missile hardpoint in addition to the leather seat. You should just get the LN though because that has another +1 on said hardpoint and 2 more guns.

>>182384465
What pisses me off is that you're CONSTANTLY offered missions that you can't take because your reputation isn't high enough. Why the fuck even show me that? If I were to go out and raise my reputation, then when I come back the board regens and that mission would be gone anyfuckingway. And if that's their way of showing what kind of missions you get at higher rep, then it's completely asinine because these missions and rewards are all over the place; there's no real scaling. At max rep for some factions, the rewards are often less than 400,000cr; fucking pennies, basically. Meanwhile, I'll randomly get missions that give me millions just for doing a fly-by on outposts and taking out a generator (which is crazy fun to do, but still). Nothing in this game makes sense. I hope the ayys swing through the galaxy and fucking kill us all; we deserve it for playing this game.

How do you fuck up this bad? All you have to do is generate a mission based off a preset that falls at X% rep and below, or a mission preset that falls between X% rep and Y% rep. Jesus christ, what are they doing with the money they got for this game because it's definitely not spent on programmers and designers.

even if the cargo stealing part of piracy is flawless in 3.0, they don't seem to understand that it's a videogame and people are going to self destruct their hull E the second they know theyre about to get their stuff stolen

So as much as I love the Diamondback Explorer, I'm thinking it just might be time to upgrade, but as always I'm just not sure where to go. I'd like a good Multipurpose ship, something that can have some good cargo space, good handling and speed and some nice weapons. My biggest problem is with the final bit. I just don't really know how the weapon sizes stack up with each other. I've seen people go from the Diamonback Explorer to the Asp Explorer, is four small and two medium an upgrade from two medium and one large?

Any Ideas?

Color me surprised. The most worrying thing for me about this project isn't the game itself, it's the company going down over some preventable shit, like not making their affiliates disclose their direct sponsorship.

>>182441454
this is what Ive been screeching about the whole time. The risks being taken in the name of hype and a few bucks are a threat to the project, which is otherwise unthreatened, if painfully slow.

>>182442047
If you ever actually studied business ethics, you would know one of the hallmarks is avoid the appearance of impropriety. Maybe they aren't doing anything wrong, but it really looks like they are doing something wrong and no one is doing anything to clarify this from either side. No streamer has ever said that they aren't sponsored, and none of them have disclosed sponsorship. CIG has promoted many streamers on their content directly, but it's unusual that none of them are officially sponsored by CIG, even though they have endless game packages and gift cards to give away to fans.

The aspX is certainly an upgrade. The problem is you want to multirole but until you reach python levels, it'll be a bit difficult to find a really good loadout. I use my aspX for all exploration, an FAS for combat and generally a main ship, and an FDL as pure combat.

>>182442047
>>182442607
fucks sake man, its not "MUH ILLEGAL"
It's just that all thier business practices lately have been taking a turn towards the shady and greedy.

it LOOKS bad, and appearances are literally what this project floats on. Goodwill of backers and the ability to refer new new backers in good conscience. When CIG hasnt delivered anything in a year and is acting shady as fuck in every interaction, how am I supposed to go to my friends and get then to spend 60 bucks or more? Unless I am a "compensated" shill I have real trouble doing that.

My own desire to log in and play is dead, I dont regret my money in, but I cannot ell anyone their going to enjoy the game, and I cannot tell them that they can trust CIG to be honest, because I can't do those things myself.

>>182442607
The difference between an ethics violation and a criminal act, like embezzling, is that the burden of proof is on the participants in the business activity. They aren't innocent until proven guilty. CIG is responsible for making sure what they make complies with the rules on advertising, like the entire rest of US internet has. The streamers are equally as responsible. Vanoss, Seananners, and plenty of others disclose their ties to a game when they make a video on it. No one who make SC content does this and it's weird.

Have you considered maybe that's because they don't have any?

Every giveaway I've seen done, the person either explicitly said it came out of their own pocket/patreon, or they named the person who donated it. Studio tours are free to any person willing to sign the NDA.

You're fucking paranoid. You're looking for a reason to get upset. It's melodramatic as hell. You look like a /pol/ster crying "shill!" haha le ebin dude $0.05 deposited to ur account XD

Do you expect everyone who makes a video on something to constantly tell you that they're not sponsored? That's insane.

>>182443742
>random person on 4chan can accuse a company of something and the burden of proof is on the company to prove them wrong
That's not how that works.

We need a new patch desperately

>>182444159
>Do you expect everyone who makes a video on something to constantly tell you that they're not sponsored?
There is a very clear rule about this, and it is unusual for over a dozen streamers to use the same model of collecting donations to fund a game package for a giveaway in exchange for exposure by the creator of the game they are profiting from.
If you are a small time pissant, who cares what you disclose. If you have been to CIG and appeared in their content, then your position needs to be clear.

>>182444469
>it is unusual for over a dozen streamers to use the same model of collecting donations to fund a game package for a giveaway
Giveaways are insanely common in online games where you can buy things with money. And patreon is the standard these days.

>in exchange for exposure by the creator of the game they are profiting from.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? The only time I've ever seen SC youtubers mentioned by CIG in any official capacity is when they've done something noteworthy and get into Citizens of the Stars. And those appearances are rare, which means it's nowhere near preferential.

It SHOULD have taken its place as the primary loot carrier in a pirate wing. Two eagles, a cobra and a Keelback could give mid-level ships like a Python or even a Type-7/9 a run for their money. Instead it's a giant floating turd.

>>182448440
But you have to have the extra seat for the magic to work. NPC crew don't need one, but humans do.

So we have the vulture, a pure fighter with seats for two, and the keelback, a multirole with one seat.

I mean, can you use them to pick up stuff that drops when ships blow up?

>>182452526
I'm talking about in the context of the game, where a copilot in a vulture has nothing to do unless you put turrets on the ship, which would be retarded on a vulture. Compared to the keelback, where a second player could fly the fighter, but is not allowed to have a second player.

>>182454304
I use them for mining but I did read they can take stolen stuff so maybe they take everything in the area

Well let's say I live in a socialist shitty country, where you won't get to have certain benefits if you already have money and so... I said fuck it.
Imma give a bunch of money to the SC project for the sake of getting bongus social benefits (should've used more since the guv'ment still fucked me over for about 6.000 dollars as I didn't spend ALL my money now) So yeah... I'd much rather give money to the SC project over my piece of shit government and this piece of shit country. It was either spend this money on living expenses and THEN get social benefits or spend it right off the bat on whatever and get said benefits right away.

Were those sightseeing missions?
Were you scanned?
Most fags in sightseeing missions don't like to be scanned.
Some are criminals/wanted and will also incur a bounty, and have security attack you.

>>182473725
None of them were sight-seeing. I passed on all the sight-seeing ones because they were 40ly+ distances and travelling in this game is actual, factual cancer. I don't know if they were wanted, but I didn't get a bounty or even a notice. I got to my first stop, opened my Transactions tag and saw that they were all failed. Fuck Passenger Missions in general. I'll stick to normal cargo.

Hull damage?
Read the conditions to prevent shit from happening.

Something I did a few days ago is find a highly populated system in war/civil war/outbreak/civil unrest and load a bunch of economy cabins with refugees/pow/protesters, if you're lucky most of them will require to be delivered to the same 2 or 3 destinations.
You'll be sent fags to hunt you down, so either get armed or learn how to evade interdictions and reach you destination quickly.

>travelling in this game is actual, factual cancer
Check out how to neutron boost, still cancer but a bit less so, requires some planning out and maneuvering.

>>182475560
>load a bunch of economy cabins with refugees/pow/protesters
Additional note: these 1-way "transport" mission count as TRADE and not EXPLORATION for some retarded reason, so if you're looking to rank up better ignore.

>>182475560
No hull damage. Might have just been a bug. Don't even care, though; cargo that can bitch and moan was a dumb idea in the first place. Neutron boosting is a really cool concept, but supercruise is such a garbage slog that it's not worth doing anything that has me spend more than ~5 minutes in it.

Short-range deliveries and murder seem like the only things that offer a relatively decent pay-out and don't waste a metric fuck ton of time.

Is there any good website to plan my hauling trip ? Like going from A to B but add checkpoint in between

>>182476784
Check out 1-way transport missions like I said, they can pay up decently, and they usually focus 1-3 destinations only.

Neutron boosting is only worth it for long ass trips, if you're into going far relatively fast.
>anything that has me spend more than ~5 minutes in it
Once you get gud enough you can pull x8 jumps just a bit slower than your regular flyby, or you will always get x4 as a fallback, at least it's more interactive than scoping>FRIENDSHIP DRIVE ACTIVATED, and more dangerous too.

It's definitely not the freelancer. The freelancer doesn't have seating in the back. The Cutlass black is supposed to have seating to let it be an impromptu dropship.

Its definitely a cutlass. The view is facing away from the back ramp towards the cockpit door.

Is the dolphin with cargo bay viable for hauling ?

Hi I just learned about Star Citizen and I've been watching their Youtube videos since Thursday (I watched the episode of Around The Verse). I also just watched this Bug Smashers video and I noticed that the gameplay in this one looked very different to the one in Around The Verse? I remember reading that Star Citizen is actually 2 games. Has the one shown in Bug Smashers been in development for less time or? It just looks very rough compared to the epic stuff I saw in Around The Verse! Can someone please explain this to me, I want to know if I should buy this game.

>>182475485
It's sneak peeks like this that really confuse me. They clearly have more of the game done than they really let on, so why? Why keep it a secret? Why not show us mechanics? Show us a cargo run. Show us the cargo terminals they've been working on. Show us more of the new mobiglas apps. Show us the inside of the new cutlass. Show us fucking SOMETHING more than prepared fly-overs. They clearly have it, but they don't want to show it off. It doesn't make any sense.

Wait till 3.0 drops, hell wait till next year and see how things are coming along.
Here's a tip thou'; CIG tends to make 'cheaper' game packages available during their "anniversary sale" which is in November month, you can probably save like 10 bucks or so if you wait for that to appear.

Dedicated co-pilot for shit talking over the comms and making your opponents so angry they fuck everything up.
It actually works.

>>182454449
If you fire them off without any fragments or cargo targeted they will go into autonomous mode and pick up everything in the area. Used to be they'd pick up stolen shit, you'd dump it and then they'd just pick it back up again. Supposedly there was a patch to stop them doing that a while ago though.

>>182480583
But why

>>182500414
>4 million CR for what ends up being like five hours of work
>Why do I even bother with killing people.

Probably because you desperately need the practice if you're murdering that slowly.

>still no 3.0

I can't believe some people actually thought it was coming out in june

>Getting back into Elite Dangerous
>Need to learn how to do everything again.

It's bad enough that I seem to have changed how I want my sticks set up, but to have shit pop up and not being able to remember how to do anything about it is maddening.

So based on bugsmashers it looks like there will be shit to find on planet surfaces, but without any kind of scanning mechanic even hinted at finding it will be purely based on luck
