Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Is that how long its been? That's 18 Months without a persistence reset. i think its time, i have a lot of junk cluttering up my inventory, i'm not a hoarder, i find it quite annoying having a mountain of stuff i don't use, what's the point of owning 3 different fighters? You're always going to have a favourite and with that the other two just sit in a barn slowly rusting away.
I'd certainly miss the credit balance I've earned since 3.8...going from 12 million-odd aUEC back to my 500k starting balance would be a bit of a bump. :D

...That's not counting the several million aUEC I've spent on ship upgrades either :oops:
 
It's actually no ship interior at all for ED whatever the amount of money you give to FDEV investors.

Nah, they pre-sold ship interiors. Here’s one example of them doing so, but there are many more, in LEP marketing material, and at the point of sale.

As long as ED is a going concern, they’ll have a go at some point, in a future DLC.

Unless, dear Ant, you’re calling 90 weeks tops? ;)

And you should say that to ED players, not me. In 2 weeks they will see Orison and volumetric clouds. The more FDEV wait to release interiors, the more CIG will extend the gap for all the other "details" already released

ED players will do what they want ¯\(ツ)/¯

Some definitely will charge straight to SC now, especially those for whom ship interiors are a necessity. Plenty of them will then decide a half-built alpha actually isn’t for them, and bounce off to play released space games again ;)

Because you see Ant, no matter how many times you use the word, what SC has to offer isn’t 'released'. It’s very much in buggy alpha form. And that does kinda matter.

You know that CIG is working on Vulkan right ?

Good god man, don’t pull out your top trump just like that!

But yeah, you’ve mentioned it approximately 30 times before, as if it had both happened, and cured world hunger simultaneously.

CIG have probably mentioned it more though ;)

Star Citizen announced Mantle support in 2013, DirectX 12 support in 2015, and now, Vulkan support in 2017

You can go on your victory lap when they actually get any of those in ;)

"FDev only said 'not in EDO' regarding ship interiors" >>> you really believe that ? With the recent news of no port to new gen console and no onfoot VR ? You really believe they will invest in ship interiors before new gen console and VR ?
It's actually no ship interior at all for ED whatever the amount of money you give to FDEV investors. The investors only care to make a good fiscal year. 2021 had been a good fiscal year with EDO for PC, 2022 will be a good fiscal year with EDO for old gen console. That's it. Pray that they don't botch the PC version to fit EDO on console when they will unite all versions.

And you should say that to ED players, not me. In 2 weeks they will see Orison and volumetric clouds. The more FDEV wait to release interiors, the more CIG will extend the gap for all the other "details" already released (atmospheric flight, EVA, beautiful planets with weather, ocean, grid nesting, streaming assets tech). You know that CIG is working on Vulkan right ? Some news about Vulkan for Cobra ?

Oh hey, let´s play this game! Voyons:

"CIG only said 'it will be done when it´s done' regarding all promises in SC and SQ42" >>> you really believe that ? With the constant and repeated news of delays in SQ42 and inability to deliver server meshing after several years announcing it in their roadmaps? You really believe they will deliver all that after 9+ years of failed (and paid for) constant promises ?
It's actually backer milking exclusively for CIG whatever the amount of money you give to the Calders investors. The investors only care to make a good fiscal year. 2021 had been a good fiscal year with SC for PC, 2022 may be a good fiscal year even if all CIG does is just another 'vertical slice' video. That's it. Pray that they don't botch SC to fit just 1 or 2 stellar systems before they run out of money or player base good will.

And you should say that to SC players, not me. In a few months Elite may see console release and then whatever content FDEV has planned for EDO after that. The more CIG wait to finish SQ42 and the PU, the more FDEV will extend the gap for all the other "details" already released (1:1 galaxy simulation, orbital mechanics, hyperspace jumps between systems, exploration mechanics, player refuel and repair, first person stealth gameplay, salvage, vast ship and loadout customisations, crafting, extensive flight model, VR for vehicle gameplay, player factions and warfare etc).


Tiens, regarde! It also works!:)

As always the PetiteFourmi can't help but point the straw all the while enjoying the beam CIG continues to ram in his rear end.
I guess he comes here so he can get some salt so he can use on the peripheral wounds for even more pleasure.

Again, you should say it to ED players. You don't see question like "No VR plans for EDO, fine... but what about the future of ED?" in SC, we at least know what is planned and what CIG is working atm.
At least CIG is trying and deliver. Since 2 years, CIG is talking about volumetric clouds and they are here now. Same for more multicrew gameplay with radar and missile operator mode coming. What FDEV say about the future of EDO ? Do you have one official good news ?

Reading ED players asking for roadmap like SC, showing to others how the telemetry page of SC works, talking how Cobra need Vulkan for the game on the next gen console, saying that SC is proof that interiors are doable but hard to do... you should tell them that all they need to know about SC is here, the poor guys don't know how SC is crap and as no future.

Damage.jpg


My little Mustang Alpha is trucking along much better at these bounties than I would have thought! Up to HRTs now without an issue. That said, I was pretty shocked when I landed and inspected the damage!

Just did my first mining ship rental (the MISC something or other). Seems promising! Though my first act of "mining" was to charge a rock, get a server blip, and then it instantly hit max red and blew the ship into orbit.

Oh well. Just a rental! (Hope they have insurance...)

You must be new around here. CIG 9+ years track record shows there is quite often very little correlation between what they say they are planning or working on and delivery. Especially in critical or core items. CIG misinforms. Possibly even willfully.

I would argue that misinformation (especially if willful) is much worst than no information.

Dang it, the barely-contained bitterness just oozes from this post 🧂
Well, since It's been oozing for years whenever any positive thing is said about SC and gushes when someone dares to point out that it's already miles better than Elite in many departments so most should be comfortable to the bitterness by now. If only those who seem so adamant to put fire under the feet of SC for everything and anything could show the same passion into Elite.
... to trigger people go play a game from another troubled and deceitful company.

Out of the frying pan....
With the unfortunate issue that from those two troubled and deceitful companies, only one seems to actually care about improving it's game and listen to it's community.
Listening Kai going all Lee Grossman scorchearthing Frontier for 30 minutes embodies a lot of what many vets are feeling right now!
Frontier should pay close attention to these signs, If not they risk losing a big chunk of it's player-base definitively.

Wot? Over half a decade ago they promised SQ42 was almost completely ready and even that one employee played all levels. Now, over five years(!) later I am supposed to say "well, still no games, but the clouds are nice!"

Is this supposed to be sarcasm or are you for real?

Renting the mining ships really isnt worth it because you cant modify them to upgrade the mining laser and the consumables.

You will find a bunch of good rocks that you wont be able to break open.

Yeah, that's okay. I basically just play Star Citizen like a tourist. I just wanted to get a taste of what mining is like. FPS mining is interesting but waiting for the server to update as you pick up each gem is... Well, it's about as much fun as waiting for data to download in Elite :p .

I'm a long way from being able to buy any ships outright. So I just focus on bounty hunting up enough money to rent a few here and there to try out different game styles.

I'm mostly just trying to feel my way through the game organically.
For instance:
  1. I did not know that Lagrange Points had space ports in them (some with refineries) until I tried this.
  2. I haven't done any trade at all.
  3. I've never been able to successfully complete a box mission. I've died somehow every single time. I'm pretty sure that makes those damn boxes technically a higher threat level than the HRTs I've been dropping!
