Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

How much have they changed these in-game timers and fees?
As we don't want to incentivize players to self-destruct & reclaim their ships to restock a loadout, we'll change the base wait time (when you claim a ship for free), the expedited time, and the expedite fee for all ships.

Are we there yet?
What's the current status of SC? Stil no Idrises in game? Or any other giant ship?
And squadron 42? Any news?
 
SC still in alpha, according to Chris. No release date. SQ42 not yet in beta. No idea when the beta will happen. No release date. About a month ago they released a video on SQ42 showing parts of one station and some AI stuff.
Lol... Was there any gameplay on this video about Squadron? Stil no Idrises in game? Or any other giant ship?

In fairness, I don't own the game and think it is a scam :)

Apparently there is now an AI Idris. Here is a Reddit thread about 20 of them bringing the server to its knees: LINK

Here is the SQ video: LINK
 
Thank you.
I bought the game in 2015 before I realized it's a scam and had a refund.

I'm really curious about how and when it's gonna end... I'll probably be dead by then...

Edit I've watched the video about Squadron. They are still working on stuff from the Morrow tour...

Still not across the galaxy but stopped off at one of the DSSI Fleet Carriers in Newtons Vault and it is 124 hours from the bubble
Sounds about right (approximately 10 seconds per light year). That location is something like 43,000 light years away.

...or hostile Vanduul alien NPCs dancing the Tango with you since CitizenCon 2014?

And HTH did the aliens let that human NPC chick just waltz right in there and take their ship? Where are the aliens?

And the universe. Seriously. What happened to that vast universe they showed off at CitizenCon 2015 at 54:55?

No alien Fauna? Or those terrifyingly fugly, endogenous space milk secreting space cows? o_O

or Xenolinguistics? Is anyone on this Xenophillic panel still working on this job at CI?

If you can't handle the fact that your character WILL have a bug that leads to their permadeath at some point, adjust your mindset.

Yup, if you can't get your head around permanently losing something in game due to bugs its your problem, not a problem for the devs or anyone else. :p
 
The PTU is working well enough between the 30k's as usual...liking the new lift panels (elevators for the colonials) which are now installed everywhere. Haven't tried the tractor beam attachment for the multi-tool yet... nor have I visited the new lagrange clouds at the R&R stops or attacked the Idris perma parked outside Grim Hex...mainly because of the usual bugs trying my patience... like ships vanishing from underneath my bum as soon as I enter QT, leaving me floating in space... which also renders them completely unclaimable at the ship terminals, forcing a relog... or a variety of the old, faithful reproductions of the perennial bugs present in every patch since 3.0 like the refuelling bug, a myriad of physics bugs, mining bugs or randomly exploding ships.

The reclaim times and insurance costs for reclaiming ships have also been revisited...even expediting the reclaim for credits still leaves you shipless for up to 10 minutes (ship dependent) or forcing you to use something else if you have the luxury of owning more than one ship...if you don't, hard luck, you'll be sitting around in a spaceport quite a bit.

The new Tobii eyetracker support in 3.12 is most welcome however...I missed the ability to just look around the cockpit using a combination of eyetracking and head tracking...going back to purely headtracking via a 3rd party TrackIR emulator was irritating...enough that I rarely used it except for landing. You get used to using your eyes in combination with your head when sitting in a cockpit and once you've experienced it in the likes of Elite, MSFS 2020 or IL2, it's difficult flying without it.

I even use eye/head tracking in most of my FPS or action games like GR Breakpoint/Wildlands, Watchdogs: Legion, Assassin's Creed titles as well as ARMA...so it's not like the Tobii isn't used outside of flight sims.

Apart from all that stuff, I'll no doubt go out and visit the Lagrange clouds next time I venture into SC...
