Really makes you think.

Also

>they couldn't make smaller main thrusters work either
>those pants-on-head retarded pilot seats and wasted space

ED is already playable. This OP is retarded.

>Sandi """acting"""
really made me want to ask for a refund

No, daddy

Depends if they really wanted to fudge it or admit elements just don't work like they were meant to.

ED is indeed playable. Whether or not it's worth playing for more than a few hours after each patch is a different story, however.

What the fuck is even the point of Turbulent? RSI is one of the most convoluted and busy websites I've seen in my life, how did Chris ever greenlit this shit?

I found it pretty hilarious how they're begging to remain in the spotlight in the latest ATV.

Odds are they're trying to make spectrum some kind of social media network

Web services.

Launcher/Patcher, forum (soon to be rip), Spectrum, hosting. That kind of junk.

Any of my GCI bros here?

>W-we'll make it better, g-guys. We're just starting tho, tee-hee.
Spectrum is a joke, it could've had some relevancy 4 years ago, but not these days when Discord is a thing.

I can at least appreciate how they called it, though, it's a very fitting name for RSI community.

Josh Coons is the most emotionally complex ship designer

Josh "The Crow" Coons

>new AtV
>samey white-and-black outposts with orange accents and useless fluff on roofs on procedurally generated planets with ugly blurry texture stretched across them
Oh boy.

They said new colors will be added in the future ;)

They did specifically mention how everything looks similar right now and are working to make sure that isn't too true, but if you were expecting proc gen prefab buildings not to look similar you may be terminally retarded

I used to know a guy who worked down here. Yeah, Mikey Fat-Lips. Weird son of a bitch. He used to feed his cat subway tokens. One time he asked me to try one, he said they were a good source of iron. Dumb fuck.

My name.. is Nattin Portent

March report today?

>those pants-on-head retarded pilot seats and wasted space

Sorry friend, but bespoke character animations are just too expensive for us to ever implement on any ship. Limited manpower and all that :^)

>those pants-on-head retarded pilot seats and wasted space

>muh wasted space meme

It's a videogame ship, nobody gives a fuck. The space you take up is also wasted, you don't see anybody bitch about that, do you?

Go back to munching on those subscriber cakes, Benny.

>wasted space
>meme
It's not a meme, it's a recurring theme for CIG and the reason they have to rework every ship after revealing it.

Was the Gladiator reworked?

Someone posts
at the start of the thread, and people still can't help themselves

Go back to unlocking those vehicles, Derek, you're 10 months overdue.

Oh, but it is a fucking meme. They rework ships to bring them up to new quality standards for visuals and materials, new damage system, adding more details. Muh wasted space is autistic horseshit nobody cares about.

Currently being reworked for Item 2.0 afaik
Most likely about to get some face lift too, since I wouldn't say it's up to snuff compared to recently revealed ships.

Bodysuits when? Ultralight body armor when?

>reeeee, Dorok Smurt
2015 called, they want you back.
>Muh wasted space is autistic horseshit nobody cares about.
That gets fixed after said reworks, what a surprise :^) M-muh meme no one cares about, amirite?
>Bodysuits
With these butterfaces?

(you)

>reeeee, Dorok Smurt

Hey, you called me a Ben first, faggot.

>That gets fixed

Apparently not, according to autistic retards like you.

Truth hurts. Go eat some cakes, Benny, that will dull the pain of your existence.

Should I melt my Bucc and Rebuy my prospector? I have a gladiator and a cutlass too.

Also, the gladiator looks as good as any other fighter, stuff the 300 needs a rework, the glad is fine.

mfw we ended up getting it after all.

>That gets fixed after said reworks, what a surprise :^)

Which ones?

Hornet? Nope.
Freelancer? Nope. Worse.
Cutlass? Nope. Worse.

>Apparently not
Reveal just happened and there's already a ton of threads on RSI on the issue. You know that Retaliator is getting a complete overhaul of the interior just because of retarded interior, right?

>You know that Retaliator is getting a complete overhaul of the interior just because of retarded interior, right?

You got a source on that, buddy? Your ass doesn't count.

>wasted space is a meme

>Wasted space
>On a cargo ship

Nobody said it didn't exist, he said it doesn't matter and they don't fix it.

Not that I think that the Cat has much wasted space.

Confirmed ages ago, kiddo, where have you been? It was like in first Q of 2016 when "modules" dropped and whole RSI was pissing bile.

He said not your ass.

>Confirmed ages ago

Nice source you have there, oh wait...

>t.newfags
Not sure what I expected from people defending wasted space on all ships. Just bought your first Aurora, huh?

k

First of all, Caterpillar is a cargo ship, all that space will be occupied by cargo.
Second, I prefer roomy ships where I can move without getting stuck on geometry every 5 seconds. I don't give a fuck about NASA simulators.

Yeah, you blew it now, better luck next time.

what the fuck is the point of playing Elite?
does Veeky Forums has a pirate corp or something to hunt down forumites corps? is there something fun to do with other people?

There is no point in playing Elite. Elite is a sociology project run by the National Institute of Mental Health in the UK through a minor gaming company called Frontier Development. They're studying how far they can push the most fanatical of older gamers with an endless series of disappointments, each worse than the last and the effect it has on the community.

>with
>other
>people
>Implying friends

Kill your self.

my only friends are people from other generals

Daily reminder that EVE is everything Elite could have been and more, minus manually flying ships.

Same with SC desu

I would play EVE but i already have a full time job and i'm getting into the red cross too
plus i hope to get a gf sometimes in my life and i want to play other games as well
i don't have the motherfucking time to play EVE

>minus manually flying ships.
>minus one of the most fundamental aspects of the game, that drives large amounts of design decisions in every area

:bigthink:

>Star Citizen won;t be done before WWIII

It is easier to destroy than to create

inb4 Chris gets a hard on for WWIII dogfighting and starts completely changing SC to emulate that.

Avadon would be proud

Eve is more of a meta gaming esport than a space sim.

and nullsec is a socialist wasteland. Just to throw that out there.

Star Citizen ships have good desi-

reminds me why did we vote this shit in

Because you're worth it

Yeah seriously who the fuck voted for that piece of shit.

I did at first, because concept looked great and those engines looked cool and I thought they'll rotate for VTOL landing. Paul butchered transition to 3D, CIG and Chris butchered everything else cool that remained of the ship.

>We.
Maybe you did you faggot.

That faggot up above apparently.
Coulda had space HIP or space Hind, but nah, space orca with hairdryer engines instead.

Fucking hell this would have been so much better.
Fucking Reddit.

I like it.

jokes on you I voted for IXM's scimitar

>space Hind
The turrets on this thing were full retard.

...

this is space hip and you're not wrong, brutus was space hind

I still wish they'd make pic related as like a 75% budget fighter to compete with the avenger and 325.

I think it looks cool, i've never understood why so many people bitch about it.

That's literally Buccanner.

Looks literally like a Gladius with more angles.

Its more durable than bucc, less well armed than gladius, better armed than 325a, probably slower than all of them. A poor mans hornet, which IMO is a niche that hasnt been filled yet.

How does it feel knowing that while you bitch about Redeemer in /scg/, Paul's cucking your favorite ships?

Fucking.
What is the purpose of a poor mans hornet? no one is going to want to fly a ship that's going to get them killed no matter how cheap you make it. Every ship below hornet/saber level is going to be pve fodder

Paul Dalessi left CIG months ago

Inb4 whining gladius shitter user

Fan ships aren't really know to be new and original.

A shitty hornet can kill scythes and auroras and avengers. It can kill NPC pirates and fly wing in pirate raids. And all manner or duties, the whole game is not going to be circle strafing dogfights between hornets and sabres.

Fine.

How does it feel knowing that while you bitch about Redeemer in /scg/, Paul already KEKED your favorite ships?

>scythes
Why would you fly a scythe?
>auroras and avengers
why would you leave secure space in one of these?

>literally the sabre

but why

Paul didn't touch my favorite ships

I love the Serenity but fuck me this squished aberration is god awful.

Lucky you.

Before he fucker left for CDPR he managed to smear his shit all over latest Aegis fighters.

>m-muh landing gear

Are you telling a joke?

I hear more complains about those fucking skids than the real problems

Nah, he didn't get the chance to kek the Carrack, so I'm fine.
