Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

I can associate with this; in ED that experience of landing in VR on a pad is something that never ages for me. I tend to fly a Cobra so climbing aboard and walking to the seat is a few yards, so provided it wasn't a clunky experience hunting for door handles or fraught with danger moving through doors it seems like that would be similar. In an Annie I could imagine it might be different because of the time to seat or door.
Most of the time in SC is spent in the smaller ships...Cutty Black in my case since it's a Jack of all trades. It's a matter of a few feet from cockpit to exit ramp. The bigger ships like the Herc or Caterpillar is a bit more complicated until you know the layout...between doors, compartments and elevators, you're not just jumping out the window. One of the most time consuming actions is after landing...the refuelling on the big ships takes an age...sitting in the cockpit watching the fuel gauges fill up in slow motion...like I said, the big ships do have their penalties...but landing one in a shoebox sized landing bay with no landing radar... head on a swivel in the headtracking still gives that sense of achievement...makes flying through the slot in a T-10 look like parking a car at Tesco :)

Welp...since refuelling isn't appearing until next year I've had another reshuffle. I had CCU'd my Redeemer to an Odyssey and had a 400i to Endeavour CCU sitting. The Endeavour was for the loaners, namely a Starfarer and Cutty red but I missed having the Redeemer around but still wanted the Odyssey...so... Melted the 400i to Endeavour CCU then CCU'd the 400i for a Redeemer with the store credit and got a Redeemer to Endeavour CCU to sit unclicked in my hangar with the small change :)

:whistle:
Do I understand correctly? You cannot refuel a ship in SC even at station?

Nah, you can refuel, repair and rearm at any landing pad direct from the cockpit...except planetary outposts for the moment but that's a bug, not a feature. Sometimes...depending on the patch... it's a bit hit and miss with some locations not offering refuelling etc, in some patches it's bugged and the refuelling options are greyed out...but once again, that's a bug and is usually fixed again in the first hotfix. Currently, it's all working as intended.
 
but SC is built from the ground up around the concept of being on foot, it's not a rush to get to a spaceship to play...you start playing when you get out of the hab, ships are only part of a toolset. As for walking up to and getting in the ships...walking up to the cockpit...never gets old for me :)
Quite funny for the so called Best Damn SPACE SIM Ever... And sure it's obviously easier to make on-foot centric when using an on-foot centric engine (though they have hard time making something robust even in this area :) )

Ah thanks for info, I thought your selling scheme was some kind of workaroung to refuel a ship....

Indeed, but the design and focus is still vastly different from ED or EDO is what I'm saying...you can't... or wouldn't want to... play the 2 games the same way...even when SC is working, which isn't often :D
 
Nobody in their right mind is buying UEC...or aUEC, you can earn it readily and quickly in game.

There are always those that will reach for the credit card before putting effort in.

And you're still viewing playing SC from an ED players perspective when it comes to the walking bit.

I'm actually viewing ship interiors from my perspective as a gamer.

A gamer who doesn't and isn't likely to ever play SC...far less give Ci¬G credit where it's due for doing anything right ;)

Backers may reach for the credit card for buying ships...buying gameplay or paying to circumvent it completely defeats the object of playing. You'll always find that those buying aUEC from Ebay are the casuals, $50 starter package newbies with the impatience and attention span of wasps...the rest of us just play the game, no matter what ships we've got. 🤷‍♂️

As I said, if CR was removed, i might give it a go, if its ever released. And i have given CIG credit for some things, specifically the atmospheric planets.

But please don't do what i encounter often with SC backers, this is dismiss my opinion because i don't play SC. People can still have opinions of games they don't play. At the end of the day, i was talking about whether I'd want to walk through my ship every time in ED. As you say, SC has a different design, and i can understand that to some extent, but when you talked about how you have to navigate the bigger ships like the Caterpillar, adding time to get through your ship and on with what you want to do, it did kind of reinforce my opinion that even in SC, with its different approach to design, i'd probably get quite sick of it after doing it a dozen times.

I certainly don't discount your opinions on SC, nor anyone elses, ever. Especially since most of the honest and down to earth opinions come either from you or others who I respect on here... Palming anyone off except for tongue in cheek comments...not my thing. :)

Then i misinterpreted what you said and I apologise.

Agreed. And I'm totally with you for the "little things that never get old", I for one cannot be bored by going through the letterbox and land in a station, or hop my way in and out of a settlement and board my ship.
 
Not sure he’s thought this through…

I am so confident in CIG's newfound ability to deliver content at an absolutely rapidfire pace (proved by this year's progress) that I promise to eat my concierge hat if they do not meet their Q4 2022 deadline for static server meshing.
Fortunately there is zero chance of them missing their mark so I won't actually have to do it. Screenshot this post!
 
Why I won't ever be seen wearing a n00b suit when playing SC :whistle:

I don't know if I'll ever get Star Citizen, but I'd certainly give them credit for the ship interiors. The bit that concerns me is the "sit on yer back side and wait to reach yer destination" transit system, and the massive long corridors

Are there other ground-based methods of transportation? Being able to drive a car thru the city would be nice
