/scg/edg/ Star Citizen Elite Dangerous general #181

tumbril

A kind of medieval torture device, later associated with a cucking-stool.

>>183154913

Finally, some shitposting to keep the general alive. I hope this Cyclone is the "gamechanger" Ben and CIG keep pedestaling.

>>183153543

Apparently "Sherman is working on a Cutlass variant". Does that mean the Red or Blue? Or another variant that hasn't existed yet?

>>183157046
i think its the blue due to the bubble canopy

>>183157575

Do you know if the Cutlass Blue is an upgrade in just components over the Black? Or is the Blue like the Super Hornet, which has hull capabilities to fit larger power plants, shields, etc. (while also having better components on top of it).

If the Cutlass Black and Blue have the same hull, I have no reason to upgrade my Black, as I can earn my components. But if there are hull differences that prevent a Black from equipping everything a Blue can, I'm getting a Blue.

It's similar to why there's no reason not to go Hornet to Super Hornet, because the SH is a hell of an upgrade, and it has a slot for a bigger powerplant size and a 2nd seat, which the regular Hornet can never upgrade to.

Hi, I'm a faggot roleplayer and I want to use one of those voice packs

Is there an upload of Astra somewhere or do I have to pay for it

Does anyone play Elite Dangerous? I like it

>>183160425
me desu

Retard question here, since I'm new.

How does exploring and discovering new systems work in E:D? As in, discovering it for the first time ever, and getting your name on it. How does it work when new systems don't load if you're in supercruise?

>>183158818

no idea sorry, I would err towards it being like the super hornet though

>>183161116
>go to new system
>scan bodies nobody has seen before
>go to some space station
>sell your exploration data
>your name is now on the previously unknown body
what ship and jump range?

>>183161310
I meant, how do you find new systems? That's a thing, right? Or is it just bodies in the systems, while all the systems have already been made discovered?

If it is a thing (new systems being discovered), I don't get how that can happen, when you can't supercruise from one system to another.

I've been using a type-6, with I think a 15 ly jump range, but for exploration (I haven't started it yet, just interested and will absolutely do so later) I'm definitely planning on upgrading to something better, once I have enough money.

>>183161765
Just because a system is known doesn't mean someone has actually been there/scanned it

>>183161765
You just open the galaxy map, set a goal, then plot the longest route possible in that direction. Remember to filter out all non-KGBFOAM class stars so you can fuel scoop every star on the way. The further away from the bubble you are the bigger the chances of finding unexplored systems. I've got my name on several bodies, can't name them though because I don't have the game open

>>183162263
>>183162325
Does this mean that all the systems are known and show up on the map, but it's just that only a fraction of them have actually been explored?
Or, is it that for a new system to become "known" someone had to have dropped into an adjacent system at one time, even though they didn't explore the new system?

>>183162797
open your galaxy map, zoom in on the middle of the galaxy and ask yourself:
"has there really been someone autistic enough to visit all these systems so far away from the bubble?"
theres billions of stars out there, the game will shut down before they're all explored

>>183158818
They haven't said yet and the fuckers probably won't until after the price bump. The current rumor is that the blue and red's special sections will be unremovable, giving them much less total cargo space than the back. So you'd likely get stuck with those useless cells in order to get the stronger max shield...

Or it could turn out like the starfarer gemni, where they just "forget" to give it a drawback.

>>183163109
Don't underestimate autism, anon. I feel like this game, while great, and can be enjoyed by normal humans, is a perfect choice for autists who do nothing but stay home and play.

But thanks, this really cleared things up for me.

>>183162797
To directly answer your question, all systems have been on the galaxy map since the start of the game. There are no hidden stars. Exploration is about discovering what is inside the systems.

I'm still trying to figure out what weapon set up I want on my python in ED, Just can't seem to find a set up that I like that feels powerful enough.

Right now using three pulse lasers and two railguns, and sometimes it just feels like I can't hurt a damn thing.

>>183163502
Are you autistic enough to do the math and find out how long it would take to scan every star?

I'm also experiencing a glitch where I suck at combat and they are always on my tail, how do I git gud?

Anyway the problem is not that serious as most functions I want on my stick are surprisingly working very well in keyboard.

>>183158818
Before the redesign, the Blue was a straight upgrade, and could mount a larger shield than the Black or Red

Post-redesign who the fuck knows

Has CIG said how police/other players are going to respond to distress beacons in high-sec systems yet?

I mean, even if the jump distance between two planets is only 60 seconds, that's still a huge amount of time. From the point you get interdicted, to putting up the distress mission, to someone accepting it, and flying their ship to you, it could easily be 2-3 minutes before you get help. Any combat pilot worth his salt will have you fucking dead way before then.

>>183166119
>ship built around a mechanic that's barely been prototyped
>best

>>183177373
Not much. They were looking at if you get jacked before some one comes to your aid a bounty will auto generate on the attacker. For places in "low sec" space they talked about requiring the recovery of a black box to report the crime.

The biggest struggle pirates are going to have is after the kill. CIG is going to require players to EVA and collect the loot/salvage. That could easily take more than 2-3 minutes.

>>183177373
CIG has no idea how interdiction is going to work yet, let alone distress beacons

it's still in the theorycraft stage

>>183178146
>The biggest struggle pirates are going to have is after the kill.
Unfortunately that doesn't help people survive an attack.

I can't see any way you could implement security in high-sec space without police auto-jumping in as soon as a crime is committed, which would be really stupid. Any other way, and you can have pirates/griefers relatively easily operating in high-sec space which would kind of defeat the purpose of highsec

>>183178317
Chris wants it to be like real life

There's nothing stopping you, but if you do something bad in "high'sec", there will be consequences.

>>183178771
I get that and I'm saying the consequences are inconsequential.

>>183178951
>not being able to dock anywhere is UEE space and having player bounty hunters on your ass
>inconsequential

>>183178317
>I can't see any way you could implement security in high-sec space

The current plan is to have wanted people light up on scanners in highsec. To counter this wanted people will need to spoof there ship ID and use fake credentials. but that will only get them so far and once they blow there cover they will need to buy all new IDs off the black market.

How viable is a PvP cutter?
What guns should I stick on it?

>>183178317
>>183178771
The police force size and response time should be higher in highsec space.

>>183180628
Anything is viable for PvP... define what kind of PvP. Seal-clubbing, random ganks, organized PvP?
Guns are preference, but you can never go wrong with MCs.

>>183179640
This image is exactly why no one should worry about
>muh 5 star systems at launch
Because otherwise the game would feel like an empty grindy piece of shit.

>>183179228
I guess that's fair, but I don't think it'll really stop most people.

>>183180951
It's physically impossible for police to respond faster than a certain timeframe, which is what I was talking about earlier. Unless CIG just makes it really gamey and police magically autojump in.

>>183181129
Physically impossible nowadays maybe. In 2946 what would stop the police from having carrier patrols all over highsec waiting to deploy?

>>183181046
General purpose PvP with a friend/pirating.
I was more wondering about the PvP meta in weapons.

>>183181263
Because it literally takes time to get the distress signal, get in a ship, spool up your QD, travel, and cool down, and we know that, while QD times intra-system won't be huge, they won't be insignificant.

>>183178317
>Unfortunately that doesn't help people survive an attack.
Just like real police do fuck all to protect you from violent crime. That's why civilian gun ownership is so important.

Protect yourself instead of expecting big brother to protect you.

Stop overrating of your piloting-skill, it won't be like Arena Commander.
In 2 minutes you'll have to reach your target because the interdiction may not be precise, everybody who pass by will be stopped by it (as last discussed) then you need to know if your target isn't better equipped and skilled than you.
You won't drop a shield in less than a minute unless you are ganking paurora with a star destroyer.
And what would you loot?

As >>183178146 said the Pirate need to gather the loots and shake off pursuit. Debris offer less loot, only salvage, if you can.
3 minutes is still far too short to board a ship and if you kill people while in the vicinity of UEE scan probes you'll get bounty on your head.

And once are a criminal, the only way to do piracy is to either destroy the Probes scan or fly in a new ship each time, or have incredible stealth that cut into your weaponry.

>>183178951
>I get that and I'm saying the consequences are inconsequential.
This guy >>183179228 answered you, but I'll add that CR love Pirate, by that he means he want them to be rare legend because PVP is the hardest things.
You'll only get easy piracy in low-sec null-sec system and if you want any loot you'll have to attack cargo ship with big shield.

>>183181446
Unless you want to grind powerplay for modules and engineers for upgrades, I wouldn't worry too much. The PvP meta is so fucked up and it's pretty much RNG like the rest of the game. You could find a newb with fuck all, you could find a murderhobo with some perfect fit. Just focus on flying skill and base your weapon selection around how you fly. If you are good, go with fixed weapons for max damage/no lock-break from chaff. Gimbals if you aren't confident in your ability to aim and fly. Turrets for multicrew (if someone can redpill me on turrets actually that would be dank).

>>183178019
Implying any mechanic in 'game' at the moment is more than a prototype

When will he hear about updates to fps mechanics/polish and dog fighting?

>>183185090
>if someone can redpill me on turrets actually that would be dank
Turrets are shit.

>>183186395
*In their current state, but it has been repeatedly said they being rebuilt functionally right now. Chris want ships to have manned turrets and he want turret gunners to be a thing, so I think its safe to assume that they will eventually be a viable choice, Chris's Autism is the final say in this game.
I for one really look forward to manned turrets getting buffed to the point of rivaling a small fighter in firepower, because that's what needs to happen for them to compete.

Should I buy Elite Dangerous?
Is it Euro Truck in space? Or is it more like TES: Milky Way?

>>183181129
>I guess that's fair, but I don't think it'll really stop most people.

Chris doesn't want to stop people from trying to pvp in high sec, he just wants there to be enough consequences that very few people will want to

>it's an exploration ship that sacrifices range for armor and shielding
>it's an APC with no passenger seats

The only niche I can see for the Terrapin is as a tornado intercept vehicle, and that depends on whether there will be any benefit to be gained from staying inside harsh environments.

Pulse lasers and autocannons is fine.
Do you have engineers that can mod them unlocked?
Do those quests and collect the materials, you can get efficient or long range lasers and overcharged cannons. Your weapons will do 30-40% more damage for the small downside of more mass and power use. Also a change for cool bonus effects like incendiary rounds which makes bullets do thermal damage to shields or corrosive rounds which have debuff that makes hulls take 25% more damage from all sources.

>>183194238
10 star systems out of 100 star systems is 10%, not 0.25%.

Thank you, ever-vigilant goon-kun.

>>183198649
He's saying that 0.25% of the systems will be done in 3.0.

>>183198959
Then he should edit the infographic since 2 of 3 of the graphs are regarding 3.0 where as the 0.25% is regarding the full launch.

>>183199348
The infrographic is retarded and dishonest, yes, but it's not technically incorrect.

>>183198424
I actually just got some extra money to get Horizons, so I've not unlocked anything in the way of engineers, just saw my first one in fact.

I'm just trying to find something that has a nice balance of damage over time and burst damage, the idea being that I can deal out damage while I get close, then get some high damage in before the enemy gets out of my sight thanks to the Python's poor pitch speed. It's because of that bad tracking, which hopefully I'll be able to get better at compensating for, that leads me to believe that something that doesn't fully rely of eyes on target is the best way to do things.

More armor, bigger shields, more missiles, less cargo.

At least that was the old idea. Im not sure if it still has the tractor beams.

>>183166119

The Terrapin is an org FC ship. Thats what it is.

I think my favorite thing about the Cutlass, and the Diamondback ships in ED is the apache/general attack helicopter feel of them.

>>183205756

The Cutlass Blue and the lancer MIS will be the best solo ships in the game.

The Blue for pvp and the MIS more for PVE due to the huge missile loadout. I am assuming similar cargo ofc.

>>183210143
Those arguments are all dumb. The simple fact of the matter is that CIG needs money if they're going to continue operations. If they let everyone have all the ships during alpha, very few people would buy ships. You might not like it, but that's reality.

>>183210143
But none of those things, for the game, make sense.
How is allowing anyone to try out any ship, or even just a rotation of ships, not a net gain? You now have more testers for those ships, you have free hands on advertising for people to buy those ships. The only real loss is if your plan was to have those ships just be terrible, and sell them off without people being able to try them out first.

If I get access to all ships in alpha, and you can't buy ships directly with money after release, then I'm not going to buy a ship. I'm just going to procrastinate on it because why spend money now when I'm already flying the ship? That's psychology.

>>183210619
I literally said its not fair. But CIG's gotta make money somehow. I don't disagree with you that it would be better for testing, but realistically how much testing do individual ships need?

Nigga..

>>183213645
How can it be delayed when it never had an actual release date?

>>183213778
What constitutes a release date to you, if not the founder and owner of the entire project quite clearly saying that it would be out before the end of the year?

Moreover, even if you consider that a rough estimate, he clearly thinks its going to be out Dec/Jan. Its fucking July. Every person that defends this as "ooooooh its not a delay because you weren't given an exact daaaate!" just gives more creedance to the term of cultist.

Oh, you're absolutely right about that delay, buy I'm not talking about that delay. The image I was replying to very clearly listed the recent may-june-july push back as delays, which is asinine and dishonest.

>>183214261
I mean, missing an internal deadline IS a delay. By definition. That infographic is negative about everything but it isn't wrong. Shits taken too long and slipped multiple times. What really boils my piss is that its going to be a meaningless release anyway. I won't be playing it, because 15fps isn't playable and they removed what little networking improvements they scheduled for it.

>>183214536
>I mean, missing an internal deadline IS a delay. By definition.
I guess, but its categorically different from saying "this is coming out on this date for sure" and then changing the date.

>they removed what little networking improvements they scheduled for it.
We're getting several network improvements in 3.0. Yeah, bind culling and object container streaming got pushed out, and admittedly they were the most significant features, but to say we're getting none at all isn't correct.

Anyone else upset with the ship design?

I get the mentality of forward facing turrets for small fighters, but fornakythingnlarger?

Anyone seen a modern corvette or smaller gunship with guns that could only face forward?
This is not how 2D or 3D combat works. It is also ridiculously stupid that manning anturretnputs you INSIDE the goddamned turret rather that providing a camera view.

>b-but muh millennium falc-

>>183216790

>>183217095
I used to play it on a GTX 760. The requirements really aren't that bad.

The problem right now is framerates in the online modes due to missing network features. We're getting a couple network improvements in 3.0 (which is hopefully coming out in a few weeks), which might improve framerates a bit, but probably won't do anything significant. The main features that will improve network performance are coming in 3.1.

On the topic of whether or not it's a game, kind of? 2.6.3 has several missions you can play. Arena Commander is fun as an arcade mode in and of itself if you like the dogfighting, and they recently added things like health and ammo pickups to make it work better as an arcade experience. Star Marine, the FPS component, is serviceable, I guess. There's more features coming in 3.0, like the stamina system, that will make it a little less COD-like, which is great.

3.0 is going to add a dynamic mission system with a couple moons to land on, and the first iteration of their cargo hauling system.

>>183215440
Lmao, the ship design in general is completely retarded especially on the larger ships.

Manned turrets, even with perfect placement, have abysmal hit ratios and the placement on most of the ships is far from perfect.

All of the larger ships have the bridge/command centre completely exposed to incoming fire instead of buried in the middle of the ship.

Weapons mounted on the wings of fighters far away from the center line so they can be easily shot off and have retarded zeroing and convergence.

Tbh though its the manned turrets that bothers me the most, outside of massive formations which rely on weight of fire to score hits/drive off attacking aircraft they are completely useless and were abandoned for a reason.

Wait so the stretch goal for 6 million was 100 star systems on release. They have currently raised over 20 times that and they are still massively stripping down the release numbers? I can't believe there are people who still believe in this game.

>>183228403
For the billionth time, that stretch goal was set before fully-explorable planets were a thing. Now they need to create exponentially more content. 100 systems by launch is no longer feasible.

They still plan to develop all the systems. The only difference is when the final wipe will be.

Well I guess that's because you're retarded since what was originally promised was maybe one or two landing zones per planet and otherwise they'd be completely inaccessible.

>>183228826
So they advertised something even though it directly interfered with another thing they were doing to the point of making it impossible? Great work CIG, fantastic business sense and planning, would defend again.
Oh and I got a refund once they missed the probably hopefully 3.0 before Christmas 2016 thing.

Can you imagine how some of the dudes with multiple kilobucks invested into the project feel?

network is severely limiting gameplay at this point
we're still running on stock cryengine netcode designed for a 24 player FPS match on a small map that ends and resets every 10 min

you can run the game on 2gb VRAM and a cpu from 4 years ago

2.63 has maybe 2-3 hours of unique mission gameplay and if you're really into it from that point on you can find other ways to dick around in the mmo part of the game. you can spend a few hours in the dogfighting or fps only modes as well.

it's at least something but 3.0 is the first time anyone in their right mind is going to tell you it's getting anywhere near being a proper alpha of what the final product is going to be. most of the core gameplay features will be there, the tools to make further content will be there, and after that the only thing to do is add gameplay for the job-specific ships, and expand the actual game space for content. on paper, 3.0 thru 4.0's goals should be faster for them to pump out than everything up until 3.0. we're at the mercy of chris roberts on that part if he wants to keep adding massive gameplay features to those goals

Is going full speed into a station to avoid being scanned not supposed to work or something? I've only ever read complicated shit about smuggling, but I've tried speeding into stations a few times, and it's worked every time.

>>183247694
Speeding makes you more likely to get scanned, but I guess it doesn't matter if you can out run it
Also makes it easier to miss the slot and increase your chance of being scanned even more

>>183247694
Well, if you get scanned more than a kilometer from the mail slot they'll get you

All the talk of silent running and aligning with the landing strip when you disengage supercruise is to minimize the chance of this happening

So basically, speeding is an easy way to do it, but it's risky? Especially if there is security anywhere near the slot? But if there isn't there's no point in silent running and all that?

Whats the current way to make lots of dosh in ED? I've been doing quince planetary scanning missions, which is better than most standard methods, but not by much. I need like 600mil for the ship spec I want.

>>183249629
A properly executed silent running approach is more reliably repeatable with lower risk. You fuck up a high speed approach and you can impact the station or end up tangled in the toast rack outside the airlock. If you hit the station you're either dead or tumbling in place begging to be scanned. If you get wedged in the toast rack you're going to be scanned, fined for what you're carrying, and then destroyed for blocking the airlock.

in a good hour like 5 mil or so? Right now there aren't many missions at either station.

Honestly I'm really worried that it's taken them so long to start evocati with this patch. Yeah, I expected them to push back the release for a gamescom release, but I also expected them to do a long evocati phase, since the patch is so huge.

With the delta patcher, it would be simple to give the evocati a very unfinished build and just patch in fixes daily. The fact that they haven't done this makes me think that the delta patch isn't nearly as far along as they suggest, which would be irritating as shit.

i'm feeling a very long evocati and PTU with a pretty large handfull of issues

i'm gonna assume theyre having genuine issues figuring out exactly how 3.0 is going to function on their current netcode, and how to make it remotely playable enough to not be a massive embarrassment after close to a year of delay and gameplan changes

hopefully they have the decency not to let a patch that runs worse than 2.63 get released for the patch that anyone who hasnt quite gotten hooked yet has been waiting for

Cyclone or whatever goes on sale tomorrow, right?

The iPhone version of this is pretty self unaware, but missing the fact that computers and the internet are both products of capitalism, not to mention the game they are bitching about is just surreal.

More furries, more targets, more fun.

Still have to buy Voice Attack my dude

We're getting mechs, right?

>>183279093
Sort of? There are power armors planned, called Titan Suits. There's also spider miners which are kind of like mechs? There's not going to be gundams.

>>183279446
>>183279093
small power armor type mechs are basically confirmed to be a concept they intend to flesh out

theres really nothing defining about the lore universe saying there can't be bigger mecha, it would just be another nightmare of physics and balance to add to the table

>>183279093
We ain't getting shit. 3.0 will be the last '' ''major'' '' content update we get. Crusader and its moon are the only planets they'll release before crashing.

Mark my words. 90 days top.

>>183279706
>Agreed. I'm hoping that CIG have learned to hold off announcing stuff that they can afford to keep quiet about, so that they build up a stock of stuff they can announce / drop in as a surprise.
And this is why reddit is going to kill this project.

Projects like this need a publisher, and with SC the community is supposed to be a collective publisher. But instead of collectively enforcing standards, they collectively suck Chris Roberts' cock, regardless of what CIG does.

>>183279706
yeah, ofcourse they have alot of content ready to roll that isnt worth putting in the game yet

they can't just slap a flight ready javelin into the game all of a sudden, sure as fuck not until netcode happens, and sure as fuck not in 3.0's size of space with 24 players, without AI crew
>implying they won't refund all cap ships when they can't figure out how to get the game running stable at more than 50 players

>>183280364
Unfortunately most people in SC community are not willing, or able, to stop funding for the project, either because they've already spent what they were willing to spend (like me with my $35 buy in) or because they've already drank the kool-aid.

It is hard to keep a company accountable when the main thing that would keep them that way is already in their hands.

CIG is very concerned about how they look to the community itself. The few times there has actually been community outcry about something, they've changed it.

But by and large, reddit/spectrum have convinced themselves that CIG's shit can't stink.

>>183280810
CIG still goes behind their backs and does what they want constantly, theyre very aware of what the community wants and thinks but theyre at the point where they don't need to do as the community asks to get a positive response out of doing whatever the fuck they want anyway. there is very little community influence into actual development on anything important. we'd have an unfinished gamescom 2016 demo version of 3.0 right now with a shitty unplayable SQ42 demo and PVP sliders already if that were the case.

they could delay til december and 90% of the community would support them fully

>>183281485
To be honest, I wouldn't listen to the SC community either. You can only hear retards scream about struts and pvp sliders so much before saying fuck it.

The way their PR is handled is awful, but the actual game seems to be advancing just fine. If they can finally resolve their fps/network issues it's pretty much in the bag.

If you guys claim to be so much smarter than the Star Citizen community, than how come you guys have never actually accurately predicted a release date? If CR's scam is so predictable an idiot could see it, why cant you predict when 3.0 is coming out? Isn't that the next major part in his scam?

So what's the cyclone supposed to be? Another splooper secrit glass wing that goes fast and does nothing?
Also can I get a QRD on CiG selling themselves to a bank?

>>183288784
It's apparently associated with the Tumbril brand, which indicates it's probably a ground-based buggy or cargo vehicle of sone kind.

>>183176373
>they are always on my tail
How agile is your ship? Compare here:
https://coriolis.edcd.io/

When turning, change speed so that it's to the centre of the blue zone by the speed gauge. That optimises your speed for turning. You should've learned that in combat training.

You can also divert power to engines for slightly tighter turning, but in combat you really want all power to weapons (or shields if you've been hit and there's a break in fighting).

To find and align to a hostile ship, find the red blob on your radar, turn so it lines up to the horizontal centre of the radar screen, then pitch (turn up or downwards) until it has no tail and it should be in front of you. Having it target locked will make it easier to see and reveal things like it's distance from you.

I've only started playing myself, would love to see more combat tips. My Type-7 keeps getting wrecked by pirates while I'm carrying full cargo of Imperial Slaves. Lost 6m+ credits first time that happened. Equipped shields, weapons etc., sacrificing 50 cargo slots for a little combat readiness, but the ship has no turning circle, couldn't align with the pirate ship at all and ended up stopping and jettisoning 30k credits of cargo. Better than getting fucked up but felt bad about letting him get away.

>>183289048
Do you know if they have a department for ground vehicles/space bikes or are they apart of the whole ship development team?

>>183288784
That whole bank thing wasn't CIG selling anything to a bank. They took out a loan but it was because of some stupid law in the UK and they have an office in the UK so it effected them.

>>183288784
>can I get a QRD on CiG selling themselves to a bank?
They didn't. They took out a loan with a UK bank as an advance on a tax credit in order to dodge currency conversion fees because most of their funds are in USD.

>>183289291

>>183289268
>>183289291
Thanks, just trying to catch up on the latest maymays

>>183289198
Pretty sure it's all just part of their ship pipeline.

>>183289076
>turn so it lines up to the horizontal centre of the radar screen, then pitch (turn up or downwards) until it has no tail
Correction: until it has no tail and is in the top half of the radar screen. If it has no tail and is in the bottom half then it's directly behind you.

Never meeting a single deadline is not "advancing just fine"

>>183295785
Well, they're awfully shit a setting deadlines.

They've still made tremendous progress in 4-5 years. If 3.0 looks and play fine I might even buy a package after all, something I said I wouldn't do.

>>183296945
>If 3.0 looks and play fine
It'll look incredible but without the delayed network features you're gonna get 30fps tops.
