/edg/+/scg/ - Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous #122

You literally cannot die in E:D to this bullshit. Its all fake handholding.

Could point right at it and go full throttle and you know what would happen?

Fuck all.

>this shit
>unnerving

...

Fly around the star in SC. It's just a star with more invisible mass. Going from normal space to SC near a star generates loads of heat but just deal with it for now until you get heat sinks.

And never take missions where you need to fly bullshit distances, if you can help it.

his friends are wrong though

Thanks, I will try that

Nah, cultists even occupy /scg/. You'd much sooner get told to kill yourself than to be given any friendly advice.

...

People get given good advice all the time.

If you're looking for a hugbox, keep walking. This is Veeky Forums, nig nog.

>You'd much sooner get told to kill yourself than to be given any friendly advice
welcome to Veeky Forums

>toxic
I swear this word alone is an IQ test all by itself.

...

Is there any big multiplayer/esport game cpmmunity out there that aint toxic?

CSGO, Overwatch, all MMO's, Mobas etc... Are all toxic.

SC will also get a toxic community. Everything big gets a free toxic conmunity.

He's friends should play Barbie Horse and Riding or LOK if he cant stand toxic people at all.

Fuck! I cant type on touchscreens for shit.
Recently switched from a N900 to a Z2.

The only communities I've known that are even close to as bad as Star Citizen are Guild Wars 2 and SW:TOR (Biodrones).

Cultists are a new level.

this fucking moron couldn't even look up the keybindings or even google correctly and reddit still held his hand

Jesus Christ.

Asked this a couple times before but never got answered.
Are SRV any useful when exploring? any reason to land on newly discovered planets?
I've read somewhere something about materials down there, but most guides and stuff covering exploration never showed any SRV action, just super-cruising and scanning.

:^)

>taking vehemently obvious bait seriously

There are some mats that you can only get with your srv. Some shit doesn't even spawn unless you're in your srv.
Also I wish they'd change its handling
>6 wheel drive vehicle
>Handles like a rear wheel drive car on ice no matter what kind of planet you're on

I feel like this game is worth the $30.
Should I actually get Horizons? Will I feel cheated spending an extra $30?

>toxic

Fuck off tumblr

So do I just go driving around in it for a few minutes or what?
Is there any way I can tell where to go, or to check if there's a reason to ever go at all?

...

Horizons have p2w module upgrades.

The detailed surface scanner will tell you what materials you can find on a planet (in the system map). Once in your SRV, it has a scanner to locate things.

+10 pts for Valididity
+1000 pts for "nig nog"

There was a discussing on this yesterday, I maintain that /scg/ is probably the best place to discuss SC. People are very friendly; just look at all of the loadout and upgrade advice given to people with starter ships.

You should probably kill yourself.

You need to go back.

>/scg/ is very friendly
lol

People are actually playing CQC, my god, I'M playing CQC!

If you wanna try it out there appears to be a number of folks playing CQC TDM right now

Horizons is cool but unfinished.
It certainly don't hurt.

>in the system map
Ah I see, thank you.

So, the entire process will be:
> Fire long range scanner
> Travel to land-able planets
> Full-scan them when near
> Check system map if it has any materials
> If it does, land and travel around it with SRV until scanners picks something
Do I get any tips or clues regarding where to find the materials or does it spawn at random "near" you when landing/driving around? some planets are fuckhuge.

Non-ED question, is SC current PU any fun? any interesting locales to explore and/or lose yourself into? I'm not 100% clear on what it entails.

You can see/do everything in two days if you're green
Explore a asteroid belt,ships,stations and fight.
There's fun but sadly not enough

So is not liking Elite a meme? What's wrong with it? I got it yesterday and I'm having a fucking blast.

Past the initial honeymoon phase it's an insultingly simplistic, repetetive and boring game.

>A meme

No. After playing for a while you begin to realize EVERYTHING that is wrong with Elite.

I've been playing for a week now and it's still okay for me, but quite frankly I'm starting to notice plenty of flaws and untapped/underdeveloped/non-matured potential. I would assume this sentiment will be stronger on people playing for longer, or since release.
It's a constantly growing product though, so even if you get disenchanted at some point for whatever reason, it might still be a good idea to keep an eye on its development.

It's fun, then it's shallow, then it's actually a bit of fun again as you get into the grind. Then you realise the extent of the grind. Then you discover that it's even more shallow than you realised.

All right so "exploring" in Elite means "scanning planets and stars from supercruise for money". No SRV involved. There's no ultra rare materials only found a billion lightyears away from Sol or anything. You'll never travel out of the bubble for any material.

No one really needs the detailed surface scanner unless they're exploring. If they need materials, third-party websites like eddb will list materials and occurrence rates on any planetary body for you.

There are some rumor that craters have better spawn rates for metallic meteorites (contains rare materials, see image for pattern on the scanner) but those are unconfirmed. Land anywhere and your scanner will give specific patterns and noises to indicate things near you. You'll eventually learn what patterns mean what.

Sure, if you don't mind spending the $30 for the new expansion each time you feel like checking it out.

So I'm playing ED more lately and all I do is shoot bounties with my friends. I still want to shoot bounties with my friends but I want to go fast while I do it. Ideally it will also have good jump range since I hate having to do 500000 jumps to get anywhere.

What ship do you fags recommend?

the uninstaller

Nothing. If you want to shoot people you need to sacrifice jump range, especially if you want to shoot people while going fast. Have fun with the hour long travel times.

Ok fine I don't have to have massive jump range I just want to shoot and fast. What should I get?

Clipper of vulture.

what the fuck is this OP and why did you use an ancient one, after I updated the previous one from being fucked with? are you trying to be retarded?
>new stuff: 2.5
dumbass

GAS THE THARGOIDS SPACE WAR NOW

Speaking of space war

>Finally play Rebel Galaxy
>Get massive ship with 20 broadside lasers
>Decreased the alien population by 10% already

Game is alright. Lacking though, this seems to be a common theme in any space game.

We don't need an OP with a dozen videos in the OP that just get[Embed]'d every new thread

courier, clipper, DD vulture or FAS, FDL

then delete them. I agree, an informal throwing in of anything that was recently posted would be better. no reason to dig up a six month old OP though

A thread needed to be made and this was all i had on hand at the time.

The OP needs to be redone and pastebins updated at some point anyway, I also find this one more aesthetically pleasing.

>decide to take my new fer de lance out for a spin bounty hunting
>i get rekt by a fucking gunship
goddamn i suck, fuck fighters

NPCs are now balanced around engineer mods. Go get em.

What the fuck.

But i just finished getting my Asps FSD to level 5, and the fer de lance has abysmal jump range.
I guess I could transfer it to whatever station needed, but what a bother.

>oy vey buy my expansion

Ship transfer dog. FDL with tier 5 dank drives is godly.

By the way, what the fuck do i get on the huge hardpoint? Currently I've got a bigass cannon on there but I'd wager that it's probably better to get a beam laser or something.

PAs are the top meta since the recent patch.

This is unregistered, weapons-grade assault cringe.

What is wrong with these niggers

>Ship transfer

Who the fuck would want to do this? Literally waiting the game with these ship transfers. Fucking frontier and the dads.

www.wavescanner.net has all the different sounds and patterns for the SRV scanner.

Oh come on, put your fucking memes back into the top parrot bag, fucko.

Feigning ignorance doesn't make this feature any less worthwile.

FDLs cockpit triggers me, shit's fucking off-centre

dude if you believe cig, a company so incompetent that they rarely even comes close to an estimated date, that the lumberyard transition only took two day then youre dumb enough to be a cultist

wait, never mind

Fuck you nigger. From the bubble to 17 Draconis takes 2 hours to transfer a Viper. That's literally 2 hours you cannot play in that ship. What the fuck is wrong you? Who the fuck defends PAY TO NOT PLAY

>being atrocious at estimating future completion dates is the same as lying about things that are already done
yeah no you're retarded

Neat, thank you guys.
Guess I'll remove the SRV hangar when exploring, and grab it when getting materials if I ever grind engineers.
That's a shame, kinda liked the idea of going around with my dune buggy when exploring far away planets.

if you say so culty

>From the bubble to 17 Draconis takes 2 hours to transfer a Viper.
AAAANNNNDDDD? Are you so desperate to play this fucking game or would you prefer to jump there on your own in your fuckinf viper?

Log off and dingle your dongler to MTF porn like you always do, shitmuncher.

>Are you so desperate to play this game

Yes. I am desperate to play the game I paid money for. Thank you for asking.

So what's your answer, buddy? You want a free instant teleport to 17 Drac or what?

Ask FD support and maybe they'll do it if you suck their dick good.

>instant teleport

Oh yeah? You can teleport there? I didn't realize I can teleport myself there. When did they add that feature in?

So you're back into deliberately obtuse mode, bitchboi?

I guess expecting solid arguments from a parroting memekid is too much.

Is this an elaborate troll or is someone defending the ship transfer timer? I thought we'd all agreed that the current waiting times were unholy bullshit when coupled with all the waiting you do in every other part of the game.

It's false flagging.

>I thought we'd all agreed
That's a way to say "parroting opinions" I guess.

>takes hours to get to bumfuck nowhere yourself
>OMG IT SHOULD BE INSTANT WHEN I'M TRANSFERING IT

Doesn't make any fucking sense.

>transfer timer
Will you be able to grab any ship you own, from any starport/hangar in SC when it finally comes out?

>Dads are so shitty at arguments the only thing they can do is make up imaginary situations and strawman where people want to instantly teleport everywhere

Senility is a horrible thing. I'm sorry for your loss.

>discord furfag rushes to call something he doesn't like "le trole""

I just realized I had a GTX970. I thought I was using a GTX570. Anyone else retarded here?

Also what are your predictions on 3.0?
>ETA
>will it be good
>how much improvement do you think we will see from the netcode fix

>Anyone else retarded here

Yes. In fact he's posting right now and expressing his retardation. I'll let you guess which poster.

You still haven't answered why it's a bad feature or provided any reasonable alternatives. Meme some more memekid.

Gosh - I decided to see if the star citizen forums are as autistic as /scg/ makes out. They're brilliant, incredible, one line can yield paragraphs of tears.

How to turn these threads back in to /scg/ and remove /edg/ dadposting.
