/scg/edg/ Dangerous Citizen Elite Star General #107: Everything is going to be alright edition

You're right, they originally said it would be not shown, but released this year.

wat

what's copy and pasted about that?
The ground has ridges through which gives it a wavy pattern

What's a good mod for a gimbled large cannon? They all seem kind of meh, except sturdy mount for the extra HP, but getting my weapons blown off usually isn't a problem unless I'm dead already. Is it all about dat Experimental with cannons?

Buckshot should do it. Slug centermass from a distance.

They actually got rid of all of the funny warning labels in the Caterpillar. Fuck CIG.

more like Kys Roberts

Personally I'm just sick of hearing about 'ship sales' or 'new concept ship' referred to as content. They still haven't even done like half the ships (Most of which are massive) and the oldest ones are/need to be reworked, and the ones they introduce don't even fully work yet.

New ships are cool, but I'm not excited at the "offer" to pay them another $135 for a ship that's not more than a drawing.

Also, with all these promised features, ships alone aren't enough anymore.
Where is the economy, the professions, the new zones/cities, the landing sequences, the cargo, the animations, the planets, the working ship interiors, the mining, the complex destruction sequences, the dynamic interior destruction, the dynamic ship repair...

I'm not expecting these features to be done, I'm not even expecting them all to be worked on right now, but I want to SEE some progress, some clips of working in progress that aren't scripted to all hell, even a buggy graybox/wireframe whatever would be cool.

I still have hopes for the game, and I'm well aware that it takes time, but going for months and months with "It's coming", "Weeks, not months!" isn't enough.

Cat command module living area is pretty nice actually.

How is the interior? Is the caterpillar the biggest implemented ship at the moment?

All ships are missing features especially in the damage system, multicrew won't truly open up tell item 2.0.

I do agree it is frustrating especially with no word on 3.0 from the live stream. The good news is CIG should start being open about 3.0 once 2.6 hits live.

With the new changes/flight model is Arena Commander "fun" now?

ayyyyyy

Not that guy but, it's the longest ship so far but I'd say it's smaller than the Starfarer in interior space. The caterpillar feels quite cramped in the main body, large enough to move around but it's still no large open areas. The Starfarer has a lot of empty space imo.

I love the caterpillar though, the layout and cargo hold is nice as hell.

Arena commander was "fun" in 2.5.

The problem with asking if something is fun, is it's too broad a question. Almost no one ever has fun losing, and in a game like that, someone is losing, always.

Man, I really wish I could have gotten in on that PTU. Fuck them with that subscription baiting.

Looking good. The layout is somewhat confusing at first though. Also the Starfarer isn't as long, but significantly wider and higher.

I'm a subscriber solely because I like AtV et al. Well, that and the other misc perks and hangar loot.

The PTU is a nice bonus.

Have any of you goonposters got an animated gif of sandis tickleporn?

>get a subscription and do a QA job for free!

Seconding

>Is the caterpillar the biggest implemented ship

longest but not biggest

cat
>85k kg
>120ish m long
>14ish m high
>20ish m wide

starfarer
>350k kg
>100m long
>24m high
>45m wide

although the starfarer has a lot of empty space on the back cuz of the fuel tanks and the interior has a lot of corridors

New jumppoint link?

Spectrum is pretty slick. Can't wait until it's in-game.

>implying I'm working
I have no problem reporting bugs, but it's not like I'm rigorously testing this shit.

>Spectrum is literally Discord
Great job, Turbulent. I bet they only took a year or two to make this.

And discord is literally Slack which is literally IRC, how much variation do you expect from a chat interface?

>Still using IRC
>Occasionally teamspeak, nothing else

Feels good.

sweet

Why can't I join or click on the PTU section?

Because you weren't selected.

Any XMPP clients recommended here?

PTU is sent in waves. After 5(?) waves it gets sent to live where everyone can access it. Think of it as a stress test for the update.

I'm not sure if this whole stream was really funny or really sad. Maybe a bit of both.

>teamspeak

What the hell is wrong with you?

It just works™. I have no need to switch to anything else because I understand it, and it fits my needs perfectly. if I need more functionality or an expanded feature set, then I'll switch, but I don't.

You sound old

>about difference between SC and Space Engineer.

Maybe there's a better way to phrase it but Space Engineer isn't made to be as immersive than SC is meant to be. You are right it's intricate as it's very complex, but not in the way SC is.
Ship building for SE is a limitation because the developer have to predict ahead of time of possible way for players to minmax the ship, as a result you can't have the arbitrary role balance that SC will have.

It don't mean that Space Engineer isn't good, but it isn't comparable to Star Citizen.

enough said

How does one get an invite on the PTU without having a sub?

Report bugs.

>You sound old

Because a program I use occasionally works perfectly for me? You sound retarded. Sorry I really don't give a shit about discord and its facebook-lite social media memery.

At least Spectrum won't feel like it's gonna include ads any time now, unlike Discord.

The Chris and Tony Q&A of the live stream.

youtu.be/GWSepGjbiX0

Mostly talk about economy and subsumption

Listening to Tony 'Autism' Zurovec makes me moist.

you know
Is there actually any new info in that? I didn't really follow the stream, but from what I've seen it was mostly stuff they already talked about several times.

They go in depth on how hard it is setting up the basic economy mainly how much should a gun cost compared to a destroyer. Also some farming talk.

The biggest enemy in star marine at the moment is lag and random frame drops

Wait Tevarin are bird people?

Fucking hell the furries will be insufferable.

bavi

Star Citizen Holiday Stream but every time Tony Zurovec says Ya Know the fidelity increases.

Anything about professions? They haven't talked about how they want stuff to work at all after showing the 3.X roadmap.

Aeyoo..

They talked about farming, how players are excited about non combat related rolls. and how 3.0 won't have the full economic simulation just partial.

I expect them professions to be talked about in detail after 2.6 hits.

>Sabre the same speed as the Gladius in every way

lol

Don't forget the Turtle People.

Besides, a setting with space aliens should have playable space aliens. At least they aren't rubber forehead people.

MAX BURN SPEEDS:

F7C: 515
Sabre/Gladius: 610
Avenger: 655

>Warlock: 645
Why?

I know people are kinda sick of new ships but this unused concept for the Prowler would make a sick Tevarin fighter

Let me into crusader REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A bit too big for a fighter, it could make a good medium sized freighter.

give me 3.0

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you are REEEEE is unreasonable mine is not.

They could just scale it down, don't have to use the same dimensions as the prowler

When I try to load crusader from main menu it loads me into my fucking hangar or does nothing and when I try to use the elevator terminal in the hangar is says all instances are full.

This is bullshit, how could they fuck up something as simple as having enough servers up to support what they KNOW is going to be a a massive flood of people.

The Sabre actually has retro thruster effects now. The lack of those has been annoying me ever since they put it in the game and apparently nobody at CIG even noticed. At one point I met Paul in Crusader and told him about it, now it's fixed. Feels good.

uhm are you fucking retarded?
or is this a bait?

which race will be space niggers?

Humans obviously

Didn't get a reply in the last thread, so I'll ask again. What should I do with 65 store credits? I'm considering getting an Avenger, but I don't have a LTI token at hand.

>Upgrade Avenger Titan to Avenger Titan Renegade
should I?

You wouldn't buy a ship or a shirt inspired by a pedophile, would you?

>mfw no playable aliens

I can always "role play" a human supremacist if they do make them playable

You guys need a hobby. Have you tried videogames?

Anyone else have no sound of weapons firing in star marine?

Are you in space?

wew

Fuck off, Shawn

no

the nigger in space

who cares

This is a videogame board.

Do you want to discuss spaceships?

no, most weapons from other players make sound but my own have no sound at all.

I am, the Polaris, dingleberry.

Not much you can do abouy LTI with $65. And with an Avenger you could always ccu to a Relient Tana later on.

>CCU to reliant

Not him, but why?

No you're reposting retardation from SA.

Now, would you like to discuss videogames or spacehips?

Why do the goons constantly shill themselves here?

Since Vanduul are separated into clans with little central governance, will some Vanduul not immediately attack player characters?

I really wonder how much the Caterpillar can actually carry. The amount of availible space on the ground that has cargo locking plates isn't that great and the catwalk cuts off roughly 50% on the one side.

According to lore humans have never interacted with Vanduuls without them being aggresive so I doubt it. Although I guess a lone Vanduul might be fairly neutral if you meet them, they do some trading with the Banu so

the cat is a shit ship desu.
officially 512 Cargo place, a hull c has 8 times that cargo space and is smaller

It looks like it's going to be 3x1 on one side and 3x2 on the other (Vertical). Might be 3x2, 3x3 though. I think it's a mistake to not have cargo in the middle like pic related. and have 2 stacks of 3x3 (Vertical)

Your taste is shit.

I underestimated how high the ceiling is actually. Also yeah, no idea what they were thinking not putting cargo space everywhere. Kinda defeats the purpose of the catwalk.

gotta say from this view it looks almost like the overbloated objects/hallways-to-body size ratio found in MMOs was applied here.
Like like the Cat was initially much smaller but now looks over proportionally big.
Did Ben do this?
