I don't understand people calling the ED system of solo play a dumb down. They said once the game is out solo is solo and you wont be able to bring that commander over to the online universe. Where is the advantaje or the dumbing down?. I'm sorry this has nothing to do with SC but not everyone likes pvp. Not all the time am I going to have a connection to play on the online universe.

So someone pointed this out on the SC forum, but did any of you guys see that the lift seems to be bigger in the new video vs what is in the hangar?

Edit: thanks for adding the spoiler, I tried to add it but then the image would not show up.

Well I don't have a Connie to check myself, but it wouldn't be the first time they've adjusted the size of ship components. Can't really expect that kind of stuff to not go through a lot of revisions as the development of the game progresses.

Beautiful ship, though.

Where did you get that? If they pull this off, I may download the patch!

CR announced every one of these at gamescom. He also showed all of them (except 6DoF but he explained that youd be able to strafe in every direction without being decoupled, and while being decoupled)

At the moment in beta1 you can switch at connect between solo and online

.

could also be the persons are smaller now. That was suggested very often as the proportions are not quite right.

Indeed... kinda hope the interior of ED's ships will be that varied.

By the way, Jenner the Moderator? Nicely done dude!

Edit:

Why so many people are suddenly complaining about CIG's P2W concept in the comments of Scott Manley's new SC video:
- "Oh look, another ship that costs an absurd amount!"
- "Im scared this will become a P2W game."
- "I really do not like the way gaming is going: 'hey guys here is our unfinished game, now give us a bucket full of money so you can play it and we will give you this awesome pay to win ship'"
- "The developers of star citizen are money [snip]. they already have $40,000,000+ dollars thrown at them, yet a digital spaceship costs $350."
- "I don't understand this obsession with spending ridiculous amounts of money on a spaceship. Just wait till the reviews come out, then if they are good spend £45 and get all of it."
- "my issue with star citizens is that it's not really backing anymore: it's just a microtransactions store for a game that comes out in 2016/2017"
- "Wait? Do you really have to buy spaceships ingame for real money? Well, there goes every interest I had for this game."
- "You do know this is just a game right? I mean $350? [snip] man? I'm all up for micro transactions (in a good game) of mere 2 or 5 $ for extra stuff but this is going too far! I'm starting to worry about RSI. I think they lost it."
- "350 bucks for "not-Real" thingy !? [snip]... stop making money start doing good games again..."
- "I've never seen a game take so much money from the consumer without even giving them a game ... I will be surprised if they ever finish this!"
- "The most overhyped game of all, it has cool animations but gameplayabilty is very low , compared to low animation but high gameplay friendly elite dangerous. just deal with it. the devs failed to meet hyped expectations that devs created with super cool trailers and videos. elite dangeours delived what was promised."
- ...

Oh dear, how can i launch my new SC advertisment if so many people are already complaining about CIG's P2W concept?!

 

[Space]

That is so true and sad. I hope the game will turn out decent, but hope is useless. It's clear they took the wrong path already.

Reminded me so much of this GC gem...

Because they made the Idris larger, I would not be surprised if CIG did in fact sell a corvette sized new ship that we have not seen yet.

 

[Tonberry]

I just watched the hangar, racing and fps videos for SC on ign and I honestly have no idea what the game is trying to be anymore. I was really interested when I thought it was going to be a top-end space sim, but the more they announce the less interested I become...

Most developers take years to make a game with one main dynamic and struggle, I don't see how star citizen is going to implement all of these different aspects well.

 

[Voivod]

Look at how many videos they've made.
Now look at how many AC patches they've rolled out.

Arena commander is hardly the pinnacle of space combat right now (yes I am aware of the current development stage yada yada) yet cig are already pushing fps and racing as part of the game play.

I'd rather they tune and Polish one element before advertising the next.

Well they're developing EVERYTHING at once.
But it seems that their marketing department is doing a much better job than everyone else

 

[Instrument]

I can only see the details on the last 4 but I think their have been 26 patches

I guess its a kind of total space adventure game the other sections of the game have been in development for months AC was just the first part to drop

Erm, no.
