>german article comes out where Chris states that they will probably have about 5-10 systems once the game is mechanically complete at what would be considered launch
>a week of screeching later, they had to tell people that the original planned roster of 100 hasn't changed, it's just that it's going to take time to make all of it
I really can't figure out these Elite Dadgerous faggots. Yeah boy let's go to 100 empty fucking systems with nothing in them to see its blue star, twelve of which you've seen in the last 72 hours, and the move on to the next accomplishing nothing. I sure love empty fucking space to explore for nothing.

Do these people guzzle shit for a living, or just as a hobby?

>Can a Cyclone end up on its side or roof? If so, how do we right the vehicle post-accident?

>The Cyclone features jump-jet thrusters meant to stabilize the vehicle when it becomes airborne. These will attempt to correct any deviation in the vehicle and provide a softer landing. Despite this, it is possible that your Cyclone could find itself flipped, turned upside down. Should this happen, we recommend you take a minute to sit right there, tell everyone how you became the prince of a town called Bel-Air… and then get out and lift.

Yeah that's the thing, launch is an entirely arbitrary point that doesn't really mean anything. They could just say the damn thing is still in beta 5 years from now and still keep collecting tax benefits in places like the UK, Canada, or even the State of Georgia.

"Launch" doesn't mean anything.

>>183917981
>gift 3 good freinds who will play literally anything for hours
>all of us are terrible people and have ~1k hours on dayz standalone
>SC does not appeal to them in this current patch, for free

dont make the mistake i made of gifting, it instantly devalues the game for them the second they install it, and regardless of if a measly $105 is anything to you they will feel like you're trying to hold them hostage somehow

again, ~1k hours "willingly" placed into dayz standalone, which is maybe as playable now as SC was around 2.1. most of that time being much much earlier in less playable patches before there was content

So 60 dollars for the minimum?
does that come with a ship
what could I expect to pay minimum for a ship with LTI if those are still on offer

>>183925238
For $45, you get access to Star Citizen with a starter ship, either an Aurora or a Mustang. $15 more gets you Squadron 42, the single player campaign.

The only way to get LTI these days is to buy a ship when it's on concept sale (aka buying jpegs), and the price carries wildly depending on the ship. But LTI is really just a convenience. It won't save you a significant amount of UEC.

>>183925238
$45 if you don't include the single player campaign that isnt coming out any time soon

might be able to grab a $35 sale price package around gamescom and or 3.0 release as well.

>Our current intention is that anything that fits an Ursa will fit the Cyclone, including the Constellation. For ships like the Cutlass and Freelancer, it may technically fit in their cargo bays, but because the ramps are tapered, a Cyclone would likely not be able to load up into it.

Cool, I guess that saved me $40. What's the point of making a smaller buggy type vehicle if it can't even fit in any ships except the ones that already fit the much larger, probably better ursa? I was hoping I could have a neat little car in my cutlass but I guess not.

>>183925238
Nah it's 45 bucks or if you wait for the anniversary sale which is mid-late November, you should be able to pick it up for 30 bucks or so.
Those are with the star citizen access only thou', the packages going for 60 bux have star citizen access + SQ42 episode 1 campaign (they got 3 episodes in total planned)

>>183925932
If there's a sale can you melt your current package and rebuy the sale one cheaper?

>>183926046
you can turn the $45 package you buy today into a $35 package + $10 store credit later, yeah

>>183924939
DayZ standalone launched as more of a game than current SC alpha, and I'm saying that as a fanatic who has literally 2 grand into this. Your friends are not wrong for refusing to play what isn't a game, you are wrong for getting salty at them. There is nothing to do. I have given this game and recommended this game to several dozen people, most of them played it for a couple hours then said "I'll come back when its actually a game" and that's the reasonable thing to do.

Having more people in the empty sandbox with you will not make it better, and its hardly even possible to get more than 2-3 people into the same lobby anyway. Giving them the game didn't devalue it for them, the state of the game devalued it for them, its not a game yet, its an empty, barely functional buggy alpha with no potential for deep gameplay or real lasting progress to be made. In DayZ you could always collect a pile of loot, stash it, build a little camp, acquire a car and hide, and some of that stuff might even be there when you go back. And in addition to that there was Functional PvP and persistent geographical power games to be played. SC has none of that. All you can do is farm credits, even the story missions reset every time you log out.

>>183926554
Only thing I could upgrade to with that bit of extra money that might I want is the 300i, my main playstyle will be absurd speed and range for transporting high value cargo and VIPs, not sure if the Avenger or 300i would be better for that. The 300i can be upgraded into a 350r ingame which has 2 tr4, but the Avenger has a tr5 and can be fitted with lighter armor.

>>183928073
>300 series
>cargo
lmao

>>183928073
I don't hate the Avenger, but I think the 300 series is the better ship. You should know that the 350r is a special chassis. You can't upgrade a 300i to a 350r. The rest of the 300 series has one engine, 350r has 2. I just hope the external cargo pod isn't completely fucking retarded.

>>183928913
What I meant was, you can't upgrade the components in a 300i and make a baby 350r. You have to change ships.

>>183927765
like i said, most of that time being from when zero of the newer features you just listed were in the game. certainly now it's more of a game but it's still a broken piece of shit with no real goals or anything to keep you playing other than stockpiling tons of military shit that will get wiped the next day for a suprise hotfix. entire patches without zombies even in the game. zombies still completely harmless annoyance in a zombie game

you had the options of
>find noob loot and go high pop server to pvp
>find M4 and go high pop to pvp

both games are shit now but it's the idea that we've all put so many hours into the shitshow that is dayz and they won't even glance at SC, which is a much more functional alpha than Dayz was a few patches ago

>>183928073
just pretend the 300 series, and mustangs do not exist until they get their much needed reworks. most outdated ships in the game next to the current cutlass which is almost not usable right now.

>>183931354
>CIG spends their time reworking loads of ships before even starting on the two starter ships
I'll never understand this.

>>183931451
mustang in general has always been super broken, and there is no excuse for the plastic barbie car dashboard-decal interior of the cockpit.

300 series is just waiting on the 600 to add new art assets, 300 series should be really nice ships once they get updated. kinda spoiled myself with the cutlass tho i dont think i'll ever own a less universally useful ship

>>183913205
scanning terraformables is faster, though

Man I don't see how people were saying you can't make credits bounty hunting, it seems faster than doing the delivery missions if a bit more risky
Its easy to combat log against AI though so risk is minimal. Just made 300k in like 30 minutes of flying around, plinking baddies, then letting the friendly local system authority to melt them. Pretty fun

>>183941374
I hate that table. It looks like a giant maxipad or bed pan.

do kill warrant scanners even matter if you don't go into anarchy systems?

>>183947583
10k/minute is kind of ass though, when you consider that the "road to riches" is about 100k/min and scanning Kosmala. Rewards is even faster once you have a good exploration rank

>>183947583
Those people are at/near endgame, where 300k/30min is a terrible rate for money.

>>183950063
The KWS picks up extra bounties on ships so it's always useful if you can spare the power/scan time.

>>183950759
You can make 5 mil in 30 minutes in a Hauler.

>CIG ARE LIARS THE GAME WONT LAUNCH WITH 100 EMPTY SYSTEMS WITH 1 LANDING ZONE EACH!
I am convinced that this game is one of the guaranteed ways of finding out who is a retard that can not into cognition. They're either the mouth breathing white knights who jump your ass for criticizing anything or they're fucktards who consider every single deviation from anything said before or during the kickstarter to be evidence that it's all a scam.

It's a wonder the development team pulls off what it does under all the stress they must have over this fucking game and the screeching autists who simultaneously love and hate it.

Can we talk about how E:D griefers are the biggest pussies in any game?
If that sounds too forumdad-ish, let me explain.

>CMDR flies around killing everyone regardless of what they're doing
>they become known as a griefer, or from a RP standpoint, a "psycho"
>literally any griefer in -any- other online game would take the "insults" as a complement and consider it a job well done
>E:D griefers take personal fucking offense to the term and argue with forumdads for hours about what the word "griefing" means
>and god forbid someone actually fight back oh shit you done it now better write FD a ticket to nerf your weapons kiddo
>no my actions cant have consequences no naming and shaming allowed reeeeeeeee
>every thread about combat is filled with this shit

Why does every facet of E:D have a subsection of screeching tards that utterly ruin it for anyone else participating, and why havent every last one of them been taken out back and shot?
Exploration has forumdads who want everything to take long enough for them to dump their ass like the fucking 1989 version's loading screens.
Trade has forumdads that think the game has literally 0 room for improvement.
Combat has pedantic cunts that throw temper tantrums when it doesnt go their way.

We like to shit on the dads for complaining about any and all QoL features, but Combat has its own brand of dad that's just as much of a chore to be around.

Mass Effect Andromeda was going to be similar to Star Citizen until the Publisher EA stomped in kicked everyone in the nuts brought in another team to "Help" then gave it wholesale to the other team told them to get a game out by X date and promptly dropped the game from their sequel consideration and gutted the original studio.
Yeah Publishers sound fucking tops lets all go with a publisher just to get more shit games with no ambition.
Star Citizen might be late but at least it has potential to be good.

It gets kind of tiresome when pretty much all lore is about the incompetent antics of a comically evil supervillian

>>183982879

This is a more valid criticism, major franchises like Star Wars rely on the Big Bad with the main antagonist being some kind of Space Hitler (probably a Western thing because of the whole Hitler thing) so it's kind of a shame CIG didn't bother going for something subtler or more original.

They've kinda taken the lazy way out for the writing there.

>>183983061
>This is a more valid criticism
its literally the same thing worded a way that doesn't trigger you, my precious little flower

>>183983121

It's a criticism that focuses on the banality of the writing rather than turning it into a pointless jab that shoehorns in a dev's supposed politics like with your previous efforts.

Because it nearly always results in bollocks like you just posted about le ebin trigger snowflake maymays XD

Come on guise, we get the Shitstin and Turndulent updates today. Don't tell me you aren't excited to see static screenshots and camera pans of stationary scenes. I know you are frothing at the mouth for them to show us everything except people playing the game.

He played long enough to get a corvette, but doesn't know what combat logging is? Do people just buy ED accounts from koreans or something?

Evocati now?

>>183998450
Unless they were bullshitting last week, inclusion/exclusion won't be done this week either so next week at the earliest.

>>183998450
"no"

>>183998554
To be fair they said it *could* be done this week, they just said that it *usually* takes at least three weeks, and that because this patch is so large it *could* take longer than that, too.

Which of course translated probably means "evocati sometime in September"

But hey maybe we'll get lucky.

>>183996797

I think theres another one called null (null IV more specifically). Thats where they are.

Weird how the date for the Evocati was last Thursday, even though it was updated last Friday. I guess they just forgot to update it as the schedule didn't need to be adjusted.

>>183999540
That's really the heart of my problem with CIG communications. They couch everything so much, whatever they say is meaningless. They only add to confusion by not describing how far they are, only how far they might be in a while.

I see you found this general's ruling faction in the system. Hit up Plax or Geisto if you're interested in yiffing with us in steam chat.

Is the game out yet in a simple, "pay once, play how much you want" package without having to buy ships out of the game with insane amounts of money? Hell, is it even possible to buy ships ingame with ingame currency yet?

>Is the game out yet in a simple, "pay once, play how much you want" package without having to buy ships out of the game with insane amounts of money?
Literally no one is making you buy ships with real money. If you don't want to, there's no reason to. LTI is a minor convenience, and everything will be buyable in-game.

>Hell, is it even possible to buy ships ingame with ingame currency yet?
Not yet. If it doesn't come in 3.0, we should see it in 3.1.

But that just applies to the PU. You can already buy ships in Arena Commander with REC you earn from playing Arena Commander.

>>183999540
I cannot recall a single time CIG finished *early* on a previously given release estimate. I think the best they've ever done was releasing the social module on time.

>>184003410
Not yet but the first update to start bringing in the in game economy is the next one they are bugtesting etc right now. Anyone paying more than the absolute minimum is either doing it to support the development, is a complete fucking retard, or both.

>>183999869
Nul IV is a gas giant. I assume you're referring to Ashana (Null V), which is the location of a crashed UEE carrier.

The crashed carrier is almost certainly going to be a bespoke landing zone, so I doubt they'll let you salvage it.

Last I know SC was sold with 25 unique landing zone, never 100, most of the 100 systems will either have procedural installations, wild and empty planets, barren & dangerous conditions or be part of 50% aliens system where human can only land at specific place.

I think the development team isn't particularly stressed by the fanbase, Chris Robert (and a few other) take every responsibility on them, including financially, and players will cheer if the devs succeed at things that are considered IMPOSSIBLE.

So the autist who hope too much are ignored by anybody who know how real work is done and the autist who hate the project are fucking jokes.
At worst the devs team could be divided on what should be done like the players, but not by retard who don't know their jobs.

That's why you'll have npc-crew or actual auto-turret add-on available.

>>184016994
Really? I figured there would have to be since unmanned turrets can fit a larger size gun. I assumed this was because the pod was replaced with just a gimble mount, afterall if it was the same pod then what's stopping you from mounting the larger gun on the manned turret?

Little for me, I'm hoping for SC to make me feel like I'm managing unstable human resource with their own volition, not just pushing button and getting area-effect like a third-rate game.
Lot of game become boring once someone discovered the winning-combo. Only way to prevent that is not difficulty but having parameters the players can't control.

>>184014874
>desu I'd rather have autoturrets over NPCs even I they were half the effectiveness at double the cost.
I'm hoping for the choices to be a gameplay mechanic.
Autoturret module? All turrets are active a fixed efficiency, but jamming and stealth impact it heavily.
NPC-crew? Turret can have deadlier precision and is immune to stealth/jamming.
Players crew would be best to manage upper-level stuff, not do npc-crew work.

I don't remember if it was answered if you could link several turret to another one. It look obvious since it just like piloting, look.

>>184018775
>unmanned turrets
I think that means it is not controllable by a person or npc as an individual gun and just gimbals with the rest of the gimballed guns. Turrets on larger ships are supposed to have AI modules that fill in when a human or npc isn't available.

Hey babes

I'm quite a new E:D player, been on a long break too. I currently have the Viper MkIV, sitting on about 5Mil credits. Should I grind for the Vulture or keep grinding for some Fed ranks to get the Assault Ship or Gunship?
To be honest, I don't even know how long it takes to get those ranks.

Been dreaming of getting the Federal Corvette eventually, but maybe better to stick to the goals closer down the path.

Turrets get more effective with an npc or human controlling them. The basic AI module just does basic functions. You hire an npc or player if you want better turrets.

Why doesn't the lore of this game allow them to just invent the space ships in lore time as well? Why do all these companies have to have already existed instead of this being the space revolution?
At least if this was every companies first time making a space ship, they could easily explain when a company might do retarded shit, like make the Mustang. At least they could explain why the ships have to be redesigned by iterating the lore instead of replacing it.

What do people profit out of killing someone who has nothing? Just dont really see the point.

>>184059713
How to high wake:
High wake is when you jump to another system. You cannot be mass locked by a ship when high waking. Learn the key presses needed to quickly open your left panel and select the lowest system on the list, in range.

When you get interdicted, submit. You won't get a long cooldown on your fsd and you have time to set the jump system on the left panel. Immediately high wake to another system. You will escape without issue. Jump back immediately and repeat your course to keep the person chasing you off balance. Once you high wake once or twice, you won't get interdicted by the same person again.

Finally saved up enough to buy a Vulture, should I sell the Cobra III after stripping it for parts I can use? I know you can have ships transfered but can't it cost more than the ship itself if you're out far enough?

>>184060509
Only transfer ships with less than 20ly jump ranges(more range later on).
You will hate traveling in a Vulture. Consider building a D rated Hauler with a A rated fsd and a 3B fuel scoop to travel with and ferrying your vulture with the transport feature.
If you don't believe me, just check again after a few hundred ly in babby vulture jumps. You need to plan large moves before hand, but if you are going to Quince or something, A hauler taxi is game saving.

I'm floating about leisurely in a pristine metallic high RES in an Imperial Cutter that's setup with a mining configuration. Just mining away with twin mining lasers and a swarm of 8 collector limpets.

Every now and then some pirate NPCs try to fuck with me, but I just boost power to shields and keep mining. I have a fighter escort, three class 3 burst laser turrets, and two class 2 multi-cannon turrets that clean up the small fry for me. Against the bigger stuff, my shields hold until the space cops come.

Give me full view in the front where just the important information is show in HUD's just like something from year 2300 would do.
Dont give us 1980s cockpits!

It's fucking Drake you shithead.

That's the aesthetic. Industrial, minimal, low-tech. If you don't like it, Drake isn't for you.

Don't take me for some Luddite youngster, to be that small those cheapass cpu will be cheapass civilian crap who short-circuit just turning them on.
We've had hardened military-grade cpu back in my youth, one EMP missile later and we quickly learned to have human back-up.

The Vaanduul won't give you time to call your hotline.
Any decent military engineer will tell you to not blindly trust the machine. Oh don't let me tell you the time when the USS Whitey Wale turret got hacked and started firing on friendly IFF, I have horrible memory of that day

It's the year 2300.
HUD's should be something everyone should have.
There is no reason why they should not.

Just because the MFD is on the screen don't make it readable

>>184120816
I can read most of the shit on those screens just fine at full resolution.

>>184120894
The big ol' tonka truck big text stuff for old people? Sure.

The stuff that is actually meant to go on MFDs like the far right? Pull the other one. Bet this is supersampled from 4k too

I've just started playing Elite Dangerous and I'm confused about traveling speeds and times. Sometimes in frame shift drive I can go over 500c and my speed continues to climb, and other times speed is limited to much lower and continuously falls. Also, how are you supposed to tell how long it takes to travel to your destination when the timer below your distance not only drastically changes with speed, but does not run down in the actual time it displays. Can anyone clear this up?

>>184129308
>play
>3.0

You'll dick around with lunar landings for maybe.. 5 hours. Then get tired of there still being basically nothing to do and the game still running at 20fps

If Drake is supposed to have a minimalist aesthetic then why do they have trophy cases to show off your guns?

>>184130146
It handholds you and limits your speed relative to the distance you're travelling or proximity to celestial objects

Can't have any skill in navigating, that might break the VISION

What I meant was why does the Cutlass have such impractically spaced gun racks

>>184131679
Did you consider they are for larger weapons or even salvage gear, not just small arms?

Because you cant press a button on a holo MFD
>hurr why do you need buttons when you can select things with the HUD
Realistically having manual buttons for vital ship functions like the ignition is a way better option.

What he said. You'll hit peak speed halfway to your destination, and it'll start to slow down. Just run max throttle until the timer says 8 seconds, then back it down to middle of the blue range. Keep the timer between 6 secs and 8 seconds until you can drop out of SC.
