So when new ship sales are starting?

I am concerned of the decreasing money stream ... :p

Fixed weapons in elite will gimbal very slightly in effect, but the effect is almost unnoticeable in the vast majority of circumstances. It only really matters when you're kilometers from a target.

Gimbaled weapons are simply weaker. They use more power, generate more heat, do less damage.

Anyone who had used fixed weapons in ED would know they don't aim for you, in any case.

It all seems to be very quiet on the SC front, nothing new?

Anyway, Elite has auto-aim for fixed weapons in exactly the same way that it auto-docks for you.
 
Yay, good news on the flight model/ 6DOF front of SC...

Most important and "catchy" statement imo:
My decision to pull down the velocity as you strafe to the side was clearly a mistake, but I haven't had a chance to fix it yet. Soon.

Pledging is around or after midnight avoiding wife and 04:00 pledger are sleeping.

I know it's only a snapshot but i have to say that your reply really made my day considering that SC fans sit around the world. :)

Seems that around 12-14 people are also sleeping - oh, of course they are having lunch. :D

Edit:
And we should not forget that the reason why they are hitting 60.000.000$ is not because they got so many new backers, but because a minority throw in more than 1000$ each through ship sales. (And i am sure they will start worrying if 2015 will pass without big releases.)

Wow. I checked that Star Citizen reddit link expecting lots of E: D bashing because the guy sold his account and wanted to join SC and boy, was I wrong! There are actually some quiet balanced responses in there, not to mention some warnings against doing it. My faith in (some) human nature is re-born :eek:

Ya, for the most part SC fans are nice :) Just the extremes from both sides which are a bit annoying.
 

Cant wait till those changes make it in

Agreed
Lots of passionately mad Elite fans out there.


Also heres a video of Ben talking about the Arena Commander currency coming after 1.0

No the plege capable world civilisation is not spread equal around the world. So america and europ may spike at some point together. While you have the atlantic and pacific. Where there are more fish then pledgers.
So it should go up and down.

And they got over 50 mill around .5 mil pledger they are now .65 mil so they are steady growing.
There is a part that pledge regular. I did it only twice.

Did get some UEC to.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
The topic of this thread is indeed SC and not ED.

What's more, this isn't the place to needlessly bash either game. Rather this is a place to have a rational, mature, and civil discussion on the game (SC).

Keep it on topic please.
 
Ok so I pushed myself last night to play AC as my Ship is flyable now(315p),I used 300i trainer and demount a gun from it so then I can mount it on the nose on my 315p with 3x ominski VI guns 315p performs very well in Vandull swarm and I reached easy at 12 wave....Hmm what can I said the game is still mostly turn fest but it does improved a bit in FM and aiming does feels better + zoom mechanics now is actually in use in most situations(my case).I tried MP battleRoyal and that was a real joke as it was before if you don't own a Hornet chances to win a battle are almost a 0....All in all yes SC is improving but it's far away from real fun in my opinion,time will tell....
 
so far I only have 300i - civilian ship with two fixed guns. With HOTAS I can get myself almost to the end of the Vanduul swarm. In pvp I stand o chance of course.
Right now I have to say that I really enjoy fast "hollywood" style of combat in AC and I can feel my ship very well. Its still all wip but I hope they wont dumped itd own to the "console" level if you know what I mean.

Just watched the latest 10ftC (#45) and given how much emphasis is placed on realism, fidelity, depth etc I was quite disappointed with the plans for capturing people and also playng the part of a healer.
The idea that tagging a wanted player makes them (except it's not really them) magically transport to your holding cell and then magically transport to the planetary fuzz when you land, seems really anaemic. The cutscene idea showing you marching "naughty pirate boy 1" into your ship sounds like a total cop out, and what happens if there are multiple "naughty pirate boys"? Does the cutscene override the current action, do you click on "naughty pirate boy 1" and get an icon in your inventory to use later? It all sounds very boring MMO style behaviour.

The healer side sounds terrible, picture a day in the life of a healer,

  • Player 1 - NEED HEALS (all MMO players use caps when HP is low)
  • Player 2 - 1000 UEC for heals
  • P1 - MAI FRIEND DO THM 4 998 UEC
  • P2 - ok, 997 UEC
  • P1 - OK
  • P2 **heals**
  • P2 - ok done, bye
  • P1 - THXBAI

I hope there's more to it than that because no fraking way is that immersive gameplay.
 
With current tech it is more stabelizing the wounded.

With fictional tech like some kind of med nanites you can have health regeneration.
Medstation could heal critical wounded. But doesn't work for head blown off.

Emersive health part would be very didficult to do and would be a kind of medical mini game. Which is not what part of the gamer are in to. So a decent abstraction is good trade off
