Just a quick pointer, you can go prone in the cig game.
Not really important though is it?
yes but is usless.
ED trailers never show enough to know what is going onYou cant even go prone. And the mag boot solution for zero g stations, we will see how that works out.
With all the recent energy in this thread devoted to the realism of the SC guns, I look forward to the thread in ED section that discusses the realism of the guns in ED based on the latest trailer. Let me know when that gets posted.
Going prone has obvious uses and purpose (increased stability and reduced profile to start) and to pretend it's useless to continue to dunk on SC is pretty poor feed when you consider how being able to adopt a prone position helps your avatar in other games.
Anyhow, I might be late to the party on this, but I just had a discussion with a mate of mine re: that new mercury ship. Is it me, or is it desperately trying to be the Millennium Falcon (Fast, not symmetrical, two turrets and an onboard chess set) of the SC universe?
Who's pretending? I think it's pretty useless in ED too. I'll play Battlefield if I want to go prone and shoot people.
wow, what an achievement!
on a side note: congratulation, you have passed the number of my 7 years posts and all this in a mere 6 months posting always in the same thread in a forum about a game you don't even play.

The no prone thing might have only been told to content creators. Was mentioned by Obsidian Ant.
Ya know, since streamers and youtubers are obviously in cahoots with FDev.
I just want a bit of clarity here Dooguk, are you saying FPS elements are useless, or specifically the process of going prone?
It was nice of the other pilot not to get out of the firing line.
I guess you are right. Prone doesnt matter in single player games like CP2077 and Elite Dangerous.
Quite useful in multiplayer games like Star Citizen.
'Don't talk about other games!' spam reporting coming in 3.... 2.... 1....
Well, this shooting people on foot in ED would have been way down the list of things I wanted to see in the game. So I hope you can see where I'm coming from.
There's no need to pretend.
It increases your profile and stability is not really a factor since you will be hit with explosives falling from the sky. You know, in this spaceship game. This isn't an ARMA-style combat sim, or indeed any kind of sim we're talking about after all.
Describe to me, if you please, the full mechanics that determine on-foot accuracy in this marginal portion of the game…

Which is what (to me at least) CiG seem to be steering Star Citizen's ground combat model towards. I don't see how its any different to facing off against air assets in the combat-sim game market.
I get what you're saying I think, i.e. you didn't want 'legs mechanics' (going to use this phrase just to make the discussion easier) in the game.
My point was that if a game has 'legs mechanics', avatar freedom of movement and the ability to change their 'stance' as the tactical situation dictates is not a 'useless' thing.
It helped me a few times entering kareah, it’s been a while though, maybe something has changed but it gave me an edge over the guy standing on the other side of the airlock.
