Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Hi. As the quintessentially ignorant Yank in this thread, aren't you Yorkshire folk considered Scotties by the Brits (as in Chef Ramsay Scottish)? And if so, do you eat Haggis and is it true it taste like chicken?:geek:
Gordon Ramsay is about as Scottish as Rod Stewart or Mel Gibson...or even Chris Pine since he played Robert DeBruis in Outlaw King... with a slightly better Scots accent than Mel had in Braveheart. Your birth parents taking a leak at Glasgow central whilst on a business trip doesn't qualify you for citizenship...unless you're a Maori, currently play for the New Zealand All blacks and we desperately want you to play for the Scottish rugby team ;)

I'm about as Scots as they come, right down to the blue skin...and I still don't like haggis or whisky...

Real Scottish people drink this...our other national drink :)

Ok, so this bit of SC lore is new to me.

Yup, apparently gravity is piped around the ship.

This naturally leads to questions like... why doesn't everything get pulled towards the pipes where it is flowing?

What if the pipes leak causing "gravity" to escape all of the ship? Does it clump up? Does it pull citizens apart?

So many questions?

Is this CIG's dumbest lore idea to date is perhaps a pertinent question!

I must admit...the Tobii eyetracking support is very, very good in SC, even compared to the likes of IL2...considering the settings are built into SC's dogpile of a configuration menu instead of the Tobii Gamehub. Well impressed Ci¬G...now go fix the game.

Apart from me finding out that pressing Alt+F9 to activate shadowplay will turn my ships systems off...it's a'ight. My head has roll, pitch, forward and back and side to side yaw in the cockpit :)

Have you used Track IR? If so how do they compare?

I used a TrackiR emulator (FaceTracknoIR) with the Tobii before Ci¬G added the proper Tobii support with 3.12...it was very twitchy and off putting and having to adapt to having no eyetracking was a real pain. The Tobii uses both head and eyetracking which is much more intuitive. This is something several leagues above the emulator by far, no idea about proper TrackiR... I haven't used mine since I've had the Tobii 4C. It clips on the bottom of your monitor, plug in the USB cable and you're away. It's completely wireless, no silly clip on your head things and works perfectly in very low light conditions too, all you need to use it are your eyes and your head, the light off your monitor is enough for faultless face, head and eye tracking.

If you have a curved monitor, the new Tobii 5 covers that....it does ultrawide too.

Do you know that you can't lift a nail with the cables that transport the electricity to a 1 tesla electromagnet ?

You don't even try to imagine that there could be anything else besides the gravitons in the pipes that makes them generate gravity. Chemical component ? Pressure ? Temperature ? Etc
Maybe they react like superconductors when you put them at room temperature = no more superconductor.
Or maybe the are like a fluorescent light fixture when you open it, the light don't flow from it anymore.
Or perhaps gravitons need to be in a strict laminar flow.
Or the gravitons can only generate gravity when in a magnetic field that that you generate in the grids.
Etc

It's only the "dumbest lore idea" when you don't spend 30 seconds on it...
 
A video from the very man that had me go buying a Tobii 4C for Elite with 10% discount nearly 4 years ago. I'll probably go buy a Tobii 5 now :D

Ant's video certainly properly shows off what the Tobii can do in SC... as it has in Elite for the 4 years I've had my Tobii 4C...I also use it in most action/FPS games like ARMA, AC Odyssey and Valhalla...Ghost Recon Wildlands/ Breakpoint and Watchdogs:Legion too. For anything sim related from MSFS 2020 to IL2 BoS...it's a must, barring owning a VR rig.

Umm... ok. I've spent another 30 seconds on it. Still sounds dumb.
 

Ooof. OA now shilling for a hardware producer.

Do i not like that!

To clarify, i love OA for his impartiality and always carefully constructed statements, careful to state when he's offering opinion or discussing fact.

But once money comes into play from specific sponsors, then all bets are off. I can't trust his opinion.

If it had been him simply bigging this up without the payment, that would have been fair enough. But once it becomes sponsored... nope. At least he is honest in saying it is sponsored content. There are those out there that don't declare the incentives and payments they get from corporations.
