The Star Citizen Thread v 3.0

Yet another video of me fighting up through Little Prince in wave 3 of solo Vanduul swarm, this time in the Ageis Dynamics Avenger. No trackIR this time since in 1.0 the helmet is not tied to the head camera, causing view issues. I did use the x52 Pro, and I find the EPS system to be pretty good in allowing me to be pretty accurate even with the Avenger's nose cannon.

The response with the HOTAS certainly looks alot better now Thanks for posting this - it's given me some hope.
Shame about the TrackIR thing - hopefully fixed early next year?

Really must get this fired up to have a go myself - hopefully will get some time over christmas.

So I've got the "Takuetsu Consolidated Outland Mustang" backer reward thing attributed, but I cannot see it in my hangar, and it's not in the list of ships in my hangar configuration on the RSI website.

Is it available yet? Or am I just being dense?

Thanks in advance for any answers

The turn rates are still extremely fast, movements are shacky and there seems to be no mass inertia - feels similar to a FPS.
Getting headache by only watching it.
Though i have to admit that i am not a fan of FPS games.

I think that the 'feeling' of movement is still missing (I'm reasonably sure that's generally accepted by most) - how to fix though, I'm not sure - other space games add more space dust to help that aspect. Also the objects on the maps (asteroids and the like) make the background you see very 'busy', and this does not help.
Though I must say, after being quite dissappointed back in July, I am feeling much more positive about where things are headed with this game.

It's a ship MODEL... Not an actual ship...

Thanks for the early support, here, have a Ferrari:

The graphics are really nice, but: It is more looking like Call of Duty in Space then Controlling an Spacecraft.

That's just it, the link I posted does not say "qualifying"

Also this says "any", that means all of them. And as CIG said sidegrades would be free, it is easy to expect that any Aurora would have a sidegrade.

Oh well, looks like I will just sell it on Reddit, anyone interested in an Aurora LX-LTI?

Ok yeah, I think you need to put out a ticket there. The Ben Lesnick thing was said BEFORE the qualifying Aurora thing was said. Namely, February 25th was the thing, and Ben's post was the 21st of February. It may be that at the time what Ben was saying was ytrue, and you can't blame him for that. But it specifically mentions LTI Auroras not a specific model, which you do have. I wouldn't rush to sell that Aurora if you really are a fan of the mustang. I'd really recommend you waiting so you could sent a ticket to support when they get back from the holidays. By that I mean, y'know, sending it now, but them being able to get to it. Use your post links specifically as reasons.

Sent you a msg with no reply, so im asking here, hope you don't mind:

How much for the LTI Aurora please?

ps- Some are asking for small ships to act like sluggish tanks when they need to be fast and nimble so they can feel different than the medium / big / huge ones that are still to come. If they make them slow turning a 20m ship how will a 240m move ?
People don't want to fly turtles!

Graphics are really dark, what's up with that?

Did they patched the launcher, last time I tried I couldn't launch AC.

Note : I don'T like the Mustang design, really ugly imo. I prefer my old crappy Aurora haha

Space dust happened... And the Mustang was designed to look over the top, I don't like it either.

 

[Jenner]

Are you using Badgers?

I replaced one of the underwing Suckerpunch cannons with a Badger, yes. I prefer the high rate of fire and direct damage of the Badgers to the dual Suckerpunches.

So setup was 1xSuckerpunch energy drainer, 1xBadger laser repeater, 1xTigershark multicannon (nose)

Yeah, the TrackIR was working better before. The only reason it's 'broken' now is that CIG added the helmet to your character model in flight, and it is not attached to your head's view. When you turn your head with TrackIR the camera turns *inside* the helmet, lol.

And I agree - responsiveness with the HOTAS is much improved from where AC started.

It's not everyone's cup o' tea. The jerkiness of this video was in large part due to the craft, though. The Avenger is light and nimble. Watch some videos of the Cutlass on YT to see a much more plodding ship (although that will most assuredly be tweaked a lot, given its intended role). And, as RC-Plorer said:

Oh, and the dark graphics - yeah, the Dying Star map is darker than the other one (Broken Moon). I just like having the dust and all those rocks to dodge in Dying Star.

Course in my session it was my stupid wingman who clipped me, not a rock. lol.

I love my Aurora LN but I have to say that Mustang Delta really caught my eye. But I locked my wallet away. A Freelancer Max and Aurora LN is all I need to start SC with.

I prefer my 315p with 3 Omnisky VIs... It flies much smoother than the Avenger.

Ya I could do that. I was only holding onto the Aurora LX because I thought I could trade it for the Mustang. I will see what happens.

I sent you a message with what the current Reddit prices are for an Aurora LX-LTI.

Missile spam in Multi-player is crazy right now. It seems like Missiles are ignoring shields at the moment. I just can't get my self to like this FPS combat, it does not feel like you are flying a ship.

 

[huzeeta]

You guys are comparing an Eagle (50 t) with M50s vor Avengers (10 - 15 t)...

And yes the missiles are damn op right now.
