Hey, a $295 ship can't be as good as a $600 ship. Makes sense
(If it helps the Carrack's shield holes seem to be abysmal
)

CIG: our design docs are biggest backers wallets.
I have a Carrack as well so I suppose I should just whine at myself for a bit

Ahhh man, your shield nerf when the Kraken comes out is gonna be biblical
PS what are the odds that the much-delayed shield refactor is 90% Chris-bling & 10% holes?
They could balance shield strength like in ED, each ship hull has its own coefficient to allow better tuning than just removing a whole component like they did with the Arrow. Ship components are supposed to be physicalised in SC, so if you want to nerf or buff shields, you must alter the ship itself to make room for or remove the empty space for the component. Not all ships are modeled with component bays that you can access, so that means they have to go back and make the necessary changes on alot of ships.
Unreal Engine 5 revealed. How will Star Citizen look even if it managed a release in 5 years?

Oh damn really?
(That's always been one of the fears for 1:1 internals / 'physicalised' modules in ED if they go that route down the road. Balancing nightmare if you decide you need some more Military slots at a later date...)
Not impressed at all I'm afraid. That was hardly the Morrow Tour.
Lacking fidelity in all aspects. There were clearly some pixels that ought to be green instead of blue - and there wasn't a Sandwurmie anywhere in sight.
The Terrapin was one of if not the first ships to have all components physicalised, in the reworked Vanguard you can see all components and also the Carrack has them all accessible. Some components are yet to be physicalised like radar and life support which you can see are empty slots in the Vanguard and Carrack.
Thought about that as well, which is why I don't believe Fdev will model ship interiors fully, only cockpit, bridge and living quarters and perhaps an engine room plus corridors that connect them. They're not constrained by the demands for fidelity like SC, and like you said, it would be a balancing nightmare and produce immense amounts of salt once you must acknowledge that your Python cannot physically carry the amount of cargo that it currently does.
That made me think of this great little anecdote from SA today...
Whole thing is worth a read though
I've just had a streamer I watch open in a second monitorplaying this game. In that time he decided to get a bunch of friends with cars and fighters to land in his big ship (Karak or something). Took about 30-40 minutes to get two land vehicles in the cargo bay without them violently jumping around and killing people. One of his passengers looked at an elevator and died. Another guy parked a space bike in the hangar and it bugged everything out, so they had to start again. Then they landed a fighter in the roof hangar and took off. The audio engine immediately went apeshit, flooded his audio with static, and the server crashed.
He relogged, and there is immediately a loud, constant crashing sound throughout his ship. The ship has also been teleported from the surface of the planet he was on to the centre of the sun. On further investigation, it tuns out that of the two cars in the ship, one is gone, the other has clipped half way through the vessel and is trapped in the medical bay, and is causing the constant crashing noises. The fighter ship in the roof hangar has flipped upside down and is also rattling round making lots of noise. He spends 15 minutes flying back to the planet like this, and the game immediately crashes again. He relogs, attempts to land to pick up his friends from a space station, but his ship explodes for no apparent reason.
I understand from the stream's chat that this ship costs $1,100, and this entire process took nearly 3 hours, while his average FPS was like 25-30, on a monster pc.

I’m definitely not against the idea of having some / all modules realised in some fashion. (The idea of having them damaged in a firefight is kind of appealing. ‘Oh crap, I’m taking cover behind the sensor array’ etc
)But this current Frankenstein reality is fairly absurd. And the strictures of going for complete internal / external parity are pretty obvious. (Hence issues like the enfattening of the Carrack etc). Some physics fakery and secret-sauce short-cutting is fine.
It looked obsolete five years ago, so…
Zyloh on a SC podcast.
A Patreon question from the stream financial supporters: Has CIG ever paid a streamer to stream SC?
Zyloh: No

Oh and Rexila did it for free? The other streamer wich got 5k pc‘s a gift don’t count
Wow tells a lot about CiG
Its probably like plausable deniability.
CIG has never paid a streamer to stream. CIG might have paid Turbulent or one of CIG's many shell companies to pay a streamer to stream.
Maybe Zyloh just doesn't know.
But there is no way Rexzilla was doing what he was doing out of the goodness of his heart. Someone was paying him.

Those "gifted" PC's were absolute buckets.
Builders had no concept of PCIE capacity - and the lulz were glorious
lol, he was getting donations and subs left and right. he was cashing in from the viewers.

Ship gifts of hundreds or thousands of USD to streamers can also be stated as "not paying streamers" with a perfect straight face. Zyloh actually admits as much at least although he makes a clear effort to downplay it hard.
3:38:09 if the time stamp does not work. Watch until the the 3:38:48 unanswered but pertinent questions, quite amusing

You mean this can be considered as accurate and reliable as when he said he had played all SQ42 missions years ago? My google fu fails me here, but prolly others more resourceful can find the actual clip.
