News The Commanders 2.3 Beta Incoming (w/Important News)

[TheRealTommo]

Quite looking forward to trying multi crew... Spent way more time playing dress up than I anticipated!

 

[Cdr Voorheez]

Do we know when ship name plates will be available to buy in the store?

 

[ScrappyCocco]

Probably when the update'll come out, same as Weapon Colours

Can we at least know what is the problems with multicrew? Ok you need more time to fix it, but at least, share we us the problems, let us be part of thr story. Knowing whats happening is always a cure of mind

 

[ScrappyCocco]

I'm pretty sure they already said somewhere it was a problem of connection that cause crash and other stuff, and they want to give us a stable Multicrew.
Anyway we all hope to receive some news this week.

 

[Emp]

Connection problems alright. Looks like a serious matter. I wish them the best of courage

 

[RwD]

We knew before multicrew that connection is gonna be a key factor and as we saw during the livestream presentation, it still needs work. I really appreciate the effort FD are putting into this but by the end of the day P2P is still P2P. No matter how much makeup you put on an old lady it will still be an old lady. Just look at For Honor, one of the newest pvp major titles. It's a good game riddled with connection problems because it also runs on good ol'pier2pier.

New patch, new changelog, multi-crew very nearly released ... but then withdrawn (again).

Yes but peer to peer means they could afford the game to run for decades and not turn the servers off before even fives years have gone by...

Maybe make a surgical facelift ?

 

[Cdr Voorheez]

No matter how much you polish a turd it will, at the end of the day still be a turd.

It's a good way to improve things but still no miracle worker. Sometimes is better to just...let it go.

No matter how much you polish a turd it will, at the end of the day still be a turd.

Thank you for a more 'savage' version cmdr.

There was a whole episode of Mythbusters dedicated to that.

 

[Jason S]

Lets not discuss turds

Yea and it`s terribly unimmersively rubbishy. Great if you`re 10 though.

I wouldn't go that far. It's a good new addition. One that will encourage players to meet other players and have fun together. It's more of a social experience.
Even though it's pretty basic right now with the Gunner sight being my least favourite thing, but it's not a deal breaker and i'm sure we'll get more roles in the upcoming updates.

For me it could use a scanner option on it, and I hope option to push the camera forward to hide the ship beneath the camera (That would be default imo, pull back to see the ship cinematics). I found gunner view difficult (target awareness = low) and the elite-scanner is F.A.B. Is an advanced targetting system naked without it (toggle)?

Now that's an excellent idea

When will this be available to xbox?
