Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

I miss Number2. Of course, he vanished after accidentally outing himself as a stealth CiG Community Manager, just like the other CIG Astro-Turfers did, but his continued contortions celebrating CIG’s achievements were rather amusing…

Edit: misremembered the incident in question. Claimed to be an “influencer”, not CiG CM, and likely was said in jest. 🤦‍♀️
There, look, Ant! Told us a boat load of nollocks and isn't shy of correcting when it's wrong.
 
So, just a follow up on the comments in that YT video which LA posted.

After listening to Mole i decided to reply again to the poster and made a polite counter to his initial reply. Ooops, guy totally lost it, screaming liar over and over in a 4532 character reply (i had to copy it into Word just to read it, its quite a rant). So i've tried again, politely responding to the points i can extract from his rantings with the hope for a more constructive conversation. I'm not hopeful. I've been here before with such types. But i'll give it a good college try.

But that wasn't the main reason for the post, i also noted another reply which i think is rather lulzworthy.

Its another mega post from another faithful supporter, and i won't post the whole thing, but its largely a rant against the skeptics saying they don't understand fidelity development, but this bit especially gave me a laugh.

Also Star Citizen is the little Sister here. They are making 2 games now, Star Citizen and Squadron 42, the single player and where most of their 720 devs are on ... Sometimes the progressions feels low but the tech and content their building applies for both of them so a lot of contents are kept secret to not spoil the solo, when it will be released ( hope I'm a year or two, crossing thinger ) the progression will skyrocket

1) SC is the little sister to SQ42... that's definitely chuckleworthy. Also i guess this is the narrative of SQ42 being the focus. As we've seen many times in the past, the narrative changes over the years on this point.

2) Making 2 games! Bingo!

3) Unfounded statement about most devs are working on SQ42. As far as i know, only the UK is working on SQ42 with the US and Germany being focused on tech and SC.

4) Progress only feels slow but pipelines being build and content floodgates will open!!! Totally BINGO!

5) Keeping things secret so as to avoid SPOILERS! Let's just ignore the 1 hour long 2018 video that CIG did, literally called "1 hour of SQ42 single player gameplay", after which CIG reverted to saying no they wouldn't show any SQ42 because spoilers.

And skeptics ask when funding will dry up? LOL... with people like this it will never dry up. They will be writing CR into their wills, just as long as he pledges to use their worldly funds to release the game. He probably only needs just another year or two, and then the content floodgates will open!

And it is for situations like these, especially after so many years without delivery, generally that regulators and consumer protection offices are made for and should step in, even if just to take a look. Suspect this is still small fry for them though.
 
I'm not surprised sorry (this is why consoles are master race for plug and pray :p ;) ).
There is HOTAS specific software, eg: https://github.com/3noix/UJPS or https://github.com/fredemmott/cpp-remapper
Or try manually update the drivers eg: http://ts.thrustmaster.com/faqs/eng/thr_eng_00045.pdf
This has lots of suggestions: https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1Gy+CSYvDS.pdf

I tried to join you earllier but your SC server was full, although not sure i can talk thru much more than already suggested.

To anyone: there's no way to message someone from the main menu is there?
Like you have to be in-game and then in a party or invite to channel?
Thanks for these links! I'll take a look at hem after supper! (aka soon!)

So the DS4 app isn't going to help much with the hotas then I presume?

I'll get back to you again once I've looked at the links...
 
Doesn't seem like consumer protection agencies are particularly concerned about SC, they seem pretty satisfied with its "pre-order" status.

Not only do predatory marketing practices work, they are also legal.
 
Warframe had the same model. Minus the KS. They monetised an unfinished game too. In difference they made far more progress and faster updates than SC. It's because they figured out the networking before and didnt cling to an impossible task like Waste Citizen. Once it drops the ridiculous promises it might come along somewhat nicely, but I guess it still needs many persistent bottles to fall on heads before that day comes.
I have played Warframe since the beginning, on and off (mostly off). The game turned out to be not what I expected but the initial simplicity of several basic level tiles mixed with ninja shooter gameplay was something I really loved.

So I took a look at the HID/USB controller list in Device Manager...

As you can see its a mess!
I've downloaded the current Thrustmaster drivers and re-installed these...
I'll test SC again and let you know if this has helped...

Would I be better to remove all of these HID/USB listings and start again I wonder? I don't know what all these are for!

Any Suggestions Please?
 
I'm going to play my "i'm just a console peasant" card, and hope one of the PCers answer you first.

I kinda do both games...for very different reasons. Slightly longer in ED at 5,500 hours or so.
Only 5500? i didnt realise you were such a casul :p TBF a lot of mine is sat at Jacksons Lighthouse or Wolheim or man menu.

As a newbie SCer i'm quite enjoying it, the bugs and jankiness are manageable / tolerable, and as always it's refreshing to play something different. It kinda feels like some of the old pledgers can no longer see the fun bits, but then that's how i am with Elite now i guess... :rolleyes:

Why would the general masses give a flying frak about SC in 2021? ... It's just an alpha. When the tech is done and SQ42 is launched to glowing reviews, the masses will care.
Pretty much described me. I was waiting for SQ42, and didnt care about anything else it was doing until there was a released game. Recent events pushed me to try, now i see SC (proper) as them nailing down the tech and building blocks, then plop a single-player game on top.

Heh, at least it's not the silly cat helmet.
If one did want a silly cat helmet, where does one purchase it?

Asking for a friend.
