/edg/scg/ - Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous General #43

hmmm are you though?
see

>best
Ftfy
finally can go sleep

dads btfo
oh i have

forgot your spoiler mate

EDfags what ships have you collected so far?
Haulers, iEagle, Viper III, Courier, AspX, FAS, FdL, Python so far.

All of them.

I've flown every ship excpet cutter and corvette

since you guys are casuals now, why don't they just get rid of solo mode and add a "stop pvp engagement" button to the cockpit instead? immersion is lame anyway lmao

Anybody else hyped?

youtu.be/t1hBNALUk4w

You won the game. Did you uninstall?

Was there a time when the rank grind was faster, cause goddamn that shit looks like a joke.

t. butthurt fuel rat faggot

I know it's you, dipshit. Go circlejerk with your rat dad butt buddies if posting here gets you so upset.

I can't wait for components system to nerf that sack of disappointment by exposing how undersized it is

I didn't uninstall but I stopped playing about 8 months ago or so.

>Instant trade
>Instant fuel
>Instant repair
>Instant refitting
>Immersion

lmao

wow if other players are triggering you that much maybe you should turn solo mode on :^)

In the beginning, we were empty
Ignorant of all things
We did not know the VISION that abides in every place
And in every Time
Here is the VISION
It brings us joy
It awakens the soul
It dispels all doubts
In worlds, we perish
In the VISION, we survive

robots doing all that stuff instantly is more believable than teleporting a huge spaceship across a galaxy with no pilot

whats the original book

Elite: Nemorensis by Simon Sparrer

>Robots have the capability to instantaneously load 800 tons of cargo
>Robots have the capability to instantaneously refit an air craft carrier sized ship with new armor
>This is believable

My sides

>Immersion
>Can't buy iron (and other shit) anywhere
>FSD can cross the galaxy in a day, humans still basically confined to a sphere a few hundred ly across
>Engineers are incompetent and can't perform the same mod twice

thats nice, tedium for the sake of tedium breaks immersion.

you got btfo

are any of the elite books actually good

the vision must flow
the vision expands perception

>>>>>>>

Programming cooldown timers is hard, user.
It's easier just to make it instant, or just make it take 1 minute per lightyear.

>wait cant they just make it take 10 minutes per 100 LY like a player piloting the ship would

>NO THE POLL SAYS 100 MINUTES

Funny, coming from the guy that hangs around combat loggers. Probably do it yourself.

programmed robot arms can do anything mate

how is teleporting a ship any less tedious? you still have to play the game (you hate)

Hahahaha. No.

Anyone got the excerpt?

So then programmed robot arms can teleport my ship across a galaxy with no pilot

Checkmate atheists.

>basically a tier 2 starter
>best
nah dawg lemme fix that for you

I love the way the ref code generator linked in OP just gives the same code everytime. Someone's gonna make Captain.

Excluding the one prolapse book they were okay. Docking is Difficult, Reclamation and Wanted were decent. Compared to proper sci-fi books they're absolute rubbish but they killed a couple of hours.

Damn, fucking obliterated.

Tigerstreik 420 yolo blaze it, smoke weed erry day.

>Every thread

Each time it is opened it displays one code for half a second before generating a new one. Unless you're offering to help fix it, which you probably aren't. I can at least confirm that it's been working because I've gotten one prospect myself

mixing fixed and gimbal guns in SC is so dumb and gay and pointless. discuss.

really gimbals on a fighter are just dumb in general

>really gimbals on a fighter are just dumb in general

Had me right up until that.

>mixing fixed and gimbal guns in SC is so dumb and gay and pointless. discuss.
Yes.
>really gimbals on a fighter are just dumb in general
No.

SO HARDCORE NO GIMBALS

faggot

that sounds like some pretty extreme surgery happened user.

what's the point when you can spin freely with no atmosphere at any time

the gimbal bullshit just adds weight. in a real spaceship the weight would be carefully minimized and the gun built right into the frame

Some of us would like to actually see the galaxy, user.

mousenigger detected. Why not just play csgo instead

Their codebase doesn't have the foundation for any of that,
even if they wanted any of that it'd be impracticable to add.

also:
>basebuilding
>BUT MUH "vision"

It's free now if you pirate it, and even that's too expensive.

Not even pretty, and you can watch muted Lets Play for that.
Do it while you're alt tabbed out during travel.

Another great alt tab activity.

hopefully you can go prone on the dashboard

You don't even need to alt-tab in the Freelancer for that.

>what's the point when you can spin freely with no atmosphere at any time
Well, if you're going to drag realism into this, putting the gun on a small motorized gimbal would make arming take a fraction of power that using the ship's thrusters to move the entire fucking ship around would use.

Man, I don't even care that the cockpit is like that, I still want a freelancer. I don't know why or what did it, but something about seeing it in the 3.0 demo made me really want one. I hope earning one with an Avenger won't take too long.

Kek, made my day

>154159274

if you're already in a dogfight that savings would be negligible and then you'd have a much smaller or more exposed gun

>exposure of weapons on a fighter-sized craft mattering with the amount of shields and maneuverability in the game

Hell, probably make yourself less of a target by spreading your ship as thin as possible.

Sandro wanted to get rid of things slowing the game down.

You should realise your god and saviors right hand man is talking about shit in the game pecisk. Time for you to get the fuck out.

It was going to be part of the 2.2 update. Then some idiot leaked screenshots of the beta and caused the whole controversy of it being "instant".

I love the wedge ships in Elite.

Cobra a cute, cute!

> in a real spaceship
This is bait.
((((YOU))))

Is anyone planning to get a Buccaneer? What are your thoughts on it?

Do you think they'll have parades/air shows?

spaceships already exist though

Answer

Did you know, procedural worlds in Star Citizen are actually flat.

Lol no, otherwise we wouldn't be using air planes, duh.

air planes for air

spaceships for space

why fly a spaceship in the air

Tell me more about things we know nothing about, sensei.

Even with wings they apparently handle like bricks [1].

[1] nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/researchernews/unflyable.html

Because why the hell not?

air is in space

I got on during the concept sale. People seem to expect it to go toe to toe with a Hornet, but I'm expecting it to be more of an intermediate between the Gladius and the Sabre. Fast, punchy, but coming up short against an equally skilled Sabre and still vulnerable if caught under the guns of a Hornet.

Also the majority of guns being stuck on those big flimsy wings is very worrying.

>space shuttle
How do you fuck up that bad, seriously.

There had to have been a better way to get a reusable spacecraft.

What the fastest you can supercruise at?

slow

cause it has both, it's called aerospace, dudester

What's the fall with the "transaction server" error message? My internet connection is somewhat unstable, is this related?

If so, can this be played offline?

some guy a few threads back was traveling .22ly in supercruise. He hit something like 1,800c on the way

Single-stage-to-orbit is hard IRL

I'm still hoping for huge system wide races. Each checkpoint could be a jump gate that shoots you to another star system with different shit to race through

>mfw

Friends forever, right?

It seemed appropriate for the combined thread

>Military wanted big wings so it return to different airbases in an emergency or after delivering payloads to heavily inclined orbits.
>Wanted a big payload bay to fit their secret satellites in.
The whole thing was a clusterfuck of scope creep.

2,001 c

it was a mockup of planetside derelicts they did
people might live in them, they could be for salvage, you might have to pvp scavengers over the contents, who knows.

and now they've all blown up... killing dozens of astronauts in the process.

why aren't the MIS, MAX and DUR flyable yet? what would be so hard about tossing them in?

youtube.com/watch?v=wN_rsg5cgCw

What do anons here think of this? Are there games with anything similar out there?

...

A misguided thought. Here, let me correct that.

After 2.0, They made a rule about not working on variants until all the pre2016 concept ships were flight ready.

>replace stock scout ship with Terrapin
>ultimate exploration/reconnaissance platform

Made 1.5mill in a HIGH RES. (One Hour)

Would I make more in a HAZ RES?

I keep thinking that cargo bay is walking away on it's own.
