Will they do it with fuel transfer lasers?
Who says SC doesn't have a flight model? Got the paper plane flight mechanics nailed!
A real refuel mechanism with a dedicated gameplay will be here for 3.17. The card is 'commited' on the roadmap so it will be here in the next patch.Nah, the Starfarer won’t have any actual gameplay use til a big system like Pyro arrives. We’ve got ages
But you are correct, few chance it will have real use till Pyro.
But it's a great news, another long awaited gameplay added to the alpha !
You are confusing with the ED way of doing it.
maybe. maybe via limpets, but we will find out soon.

The only QoL thing worth noting in the added features list...not like we haven't been asking for it for the last 5 years or anything.maybe. maybe via limpets, but we will find out soon.

Added keybind option to request ATC landing (unbound by default)
Both ED and SC have a clunky menu bound clickety-click nonsense just to request docking...unless you use voice attack with an HCS voicepack of course. Not before time it was reduced to a single keybind

nah. elite's request docking is lightning fast with keyboard or properly set up joystick binds. sc's, ugh.
keybind is nice, on top of the 500 other keybinds.
the thing im looking forward to, which i dont think will actually happen is
Really shows the actual mass of SC ships (and that's a really big one, and one that's full of heavy cargo !)
"Newtonian physics !!!"
Still cant take that physics engine / flight model seriously, sorry. It's been coded by someone who's either clueless about coding or skipped high school. Or both, who knows, CiG seems full of surprises.
I would presume you are better qualified for the job, please join CIG and give us a proper flightmodel!
Only really show that a bug put the actual mass of the ship+cargo to zero.
Seeing as you haven't played Elite, this is how it's actually done:
I look forward to seeing how well the refuelling gameplay in SC works out
Click button, limpet transfers fuel.
This is the holy grail of in depth and engaging gameplay design, thanks FDev.
I never actually did it. Cargo xfer, yes but not fuel. Didn't need to either, ever. Never ran out of fuel .
Transferred fuell from tanks to tanks in KSP - with all the funny ramifications.
Click button, pipe transfers fuel.
This is the holy grail of in depth and engaging gameplay design, thanks CIG.
Always a recipe for explosions
Which button? The button that opens the valves for either a hydrogen or quantum fuel tank, the button that opens the fuel transfer nozzle or the button to set the price for said fuel?
As always, FDev did the bare minimum.
I know how it's done and it's not good.
Just no. Look again at the gameplay showed in the precedent video posted by Sovapid, it seems you have missed a lot of mechanisms...
