/scg/edg/ Star Elite: Citizen Dangerous General #157

Nowadays someone should remake that image with struts though.

Fuck off. The alternate general is unsearchable, and there're two ssg out there you faggot.

You did not make a real thread, you made an overly broad, unfocused non-general, which lacked even proper search tags to be found by someone looking for /scg/ or /edg/. Additionally, the general has repeatedly rejected the idea of adding more titles. We don't need them to stay alive and they dilute conversation. Go talk about KSP in /KSPG/ go talk about your top down Non-sim vaguely space set shit wherever it belongs.

Also I am not samefagging, I am bumping with images, but at no point am I replying to myself.

It's struttyness index is about the same as the BUcc DESU senpai.

Not the same thread. Other one is some stupid mix of games

Most of those assets look completely new to me.

What the fuck

>kspg

Good joke user

ELE soon, guys.

what's ele?

so the audio logs talk about the generation ships being used to mark and seed terraformable worlds?

>thargoids undercover hire generation ships to scope out and seed prospective home worlds
>kill their crews so nothing is revealed
>suddenly thargoids "pop up" as a separate faction occupying a portion of space, like a new bubble
>nothing changes except sometimes you fight ayy lmaos while grinding as usual

Doctor Smart's supposed Extinction Level Event that's gonna kill CIG. It's gonna happen any day now since October 2015.

Maybe we can get access to alien ships somehow. Although I bet the HUD will still be the same even in a Thargoid ship.

are mantis ballistic gats the spicy new meme or something. Seems like every match I play lately is all BRRRT.

Also, anyone who thinks BRRRRT spam take more skill than missiles is a moron.

>nothing changes
The logic is airtight. I can't see any flaws.

is elite good yet? i dropped it before horizons

No, Elite will never be good until Braben and Fdev are no longer in charge. they are actively making the game shit to appease their core playerbase, which is dads.

You just know that he's gonna show up at the LA office some day with nothing but socks boxers, some liquor and a non functional gun of his own design. Like there no way that crazy shitter doesn't end up getting committed.

What is D.Smart was actually an inside job to discredit anyone who criticizes Chris-t/Sandibones/The Human Gravity Well?

Reminder that the Retaliator will never been good unless they get rid of the now pointless tilt-engine assembly

Of the various things wrong with the Tally, this is the most meaningless.

Are pulse lasers still generic go-to weapon in Elite?

Are railguns better?

I know what that guy's talking about, though. You can go into the fragility of the ship, the interior layout making the escape pods nigh-impossible for crew to reach in an emergency, the lack of proper front mounted, pilot controlled weapons, but the engine placement of the tilt-engines means if a ship comes from any angle towards the bottom the Retaliator cannot retaliate.

It's a major fucking problem.

So Banu is a protectorate, but whose protectorate is it?

When does Sandi get kicked out of CIG?

Delete this. Right now.

how painfully new are you

Implying Chris wouldn't be the one leaving by court order

Yo, Elite: Dangerous players. Register an account on RSI already and use my code.

Hi, goons.

What's this?

Origin 600.

Origin 800

I suspect a bike for Origin
OR the 300i redesign, it's supposed to be shown sometime around

It's probably some troll posting his code to make him look bad. Why would that due, who has thousands of viewers fish here. He's on of the few youtubers I can actually stand and most of his videos are at least modestly informative and grounded in reality.

Origin 600, a Long awaited Freelancer/Constellation competitor from the one and own space lexus manufacturer, expect it to have fair to middlin stats, needless flashyness and a general sense of desperate compensation.

i'm about to get into starlancer, what am i in for?

Comfy. Race the based German guy to the top of the leaderboard.

Space NATO vs Space USSR + MEC.

I know Wing Commander always gets the praise but I adore Starlancer more.

How many genders are there in Star Citizen?

Furry, femboy, and xeno

don't take the bait

...

Hey /edg/.
Are there any console commands for singleplayer?
I kinda just want to fuck arround in the biggest ship and don't have time to grind online.

ed is online only

get scammed

>online only
I thought it had solomode or whatever?

E:D could have been a great single player game or a mediocre F2P MMO but FDev fucked both up.

that's just a mode for dads/carebares to avoid nonconsensual pvp .

solo still requires online access

Wtf why?
I thought this worked like gtav or something.
Structured online but moddable solo.

You thought wrong. All connections still go through a number of servers, so if you don't have internet connection, you're not getting new missions or anything. I don't remember the name of the servers, they all have pretentious bullshit names like "ADJUDICATOR" and shit.

>Structured online but moddable solo.
can't imagine what would have lead you to believe that.

it's pretty stupid but that's precisely why it isn't exactly a secret; any basic google search will lead you to hundreds of people bitching about it.

ya scammed yourself

That's what they literally promised during the kickstarter, and then they went back on it for the final release.

Hey, I just got Elite Dangerous but I can't find the community/guilds menu, how do I join the Veeky Forums guild/fleet/corp/whatever?

If you could mod the game what would you want in it?

I know you're baiting but pls delet. This actually hurts me because I originally wanted this to be a deep singleplayer game and I've been begging for corp support since the fucking game came out.

gameplay

More grinding? Got it.

Oh user, the baiting is just a coping mechanism, it helps us move to the stage of acceptance and from there, hatred and revenge.

It also prepares us for the future failures of Starcitizen whenever that is released.

I'm guessing you're talking about ED? All the various gameplay activities that are missing. I actually fucking miss escort missions thanks to ED. Why are there no defensive missions? Why are there are no missions in which you need to prevent asteroids from raining down onto a planet? Remember the original trailer from ED, where three sidewinders get a call to help out a Federation capital ship? Why isn't there more shit like that?

Then the game is missing POIs and well developed instances. Why is every instance revolve around a single, shitty point of interest sitting in empty space? I go to a station and that's all there is there. I go to an asteroid field and that's all there is, asteroids. I go to an outpost and lo and behold, only asteroids. Frontier should have given up on the HD remake of Frontier Elite, broken down and added some shit to see and interact with.

Is there any way to get LTI on new ship purchases right now? I haven't followed the system at all. I bought the 30$ Aurora package pre-2.0 and haven't really touched or followed the game much. Thinking of getting a Cutlass.

>ded
starsector cucks BTFO

LTI only comes with concept sales now, which is when you buy a ship (jpg) within the first week or so of its unveiling.

You can also CCU (cross-chasis upgrade) from one ship to a more expensive one while still retaining LTI and any other perks from the old ship. Whenever there's a new cheap concept sale, it's a common practice for people to buy a bunch of them so that they can later be used as "LTI tokens".

You know it actually boggles my mind that ED doesn't even have a "defend this object from hostile npc waves" type mission.

Braben and Sammarco need to be forced to play Colony Wars trilogy through and through if they want to sell a lot of those gimp suit packs.

Who am I kidding tho, this game is already on minimally viable life support.

Adding to that, if your Aurora came with LTI then you can simply CCU it to a Cutlass and keep the lifetime insurance.

The Banu Defender was a mistake.

When can the dads commit suicide due to their midlife crises or die of old age so we can get a good game? Or just fucking remove solo/private play, if dads are too spooked to fight back in pvp just stay in high sec baby space and have the devs implement AI police like in EVE.

Check r/starcitizen_trades, stuff is usually sold marked up obviously but it's a greymarket for purchasing stuff that isn't normally available.

I should say better AI space police, as in they just warp in and delete attackers in high sec.

its all just a ploy to make the upcoming 600 seem better than it is.

>The Banu Defender was a mistake.
The fucking view is a mistake.

As I understand it, this is one time where it isn't Sandro's fault. Sandro's actually responsible for the original design where everyone got full and equal payouts and was also responsible for buffing wing bounty/bond payouts so everyone gets full share instead of a split.

From what has come out of the debacle so far it seems that it was actually an edict directly from Braben to reduce the payouts to insulting levels so that people couldn't skip through the precious new player experience (that you can already skip by following cops around for half an hour). He unfortunately still doesn't seem to actually understand how people other than him play Elite and a lot of the seemingly strange decisions make more sense when you consider that Braben intends Elite to be played by just drifting from station to station following the missions and only really owning one ship and upgrading it as you go.

Never done mining before. I'm trying to mine Engi mats and I noticed I keep those on death, which is unexpectedly cool. Do I need to equip the refinery at all if I'm just doing mats?

Does my cargo hold just get emptier with less limpets since there is no ore to go back? Do I need prospector still just for mats?

People say Elite: Dangerous is like Euro Truck Simulator in space. But people also say ETS is fun and a good game, and E:D is garbage.
I like ETS, will I like E:D?

Also, is Horizon Season Pass required for me to be disappointed in Elite? Or would that be an additional waste of money?

>feeling satisfaction knowing they have worked honestly for everything they have.

A new age dawns with Trump in the White House. Honesty, Integrity, Industry, all of these are dead virtues. Just lie until you get enough useful idiots with disposable income to give you a bunch of money and walk away after you fail to deliver a successful product. IM LOOKING AT YOU TIM SCHAFER!

Raw micromaterials don't require a refinery, but limpets are pretty stupid robots so I'm not sure what they'd do if you have lots of ore floating around and no refinery.

>Does my cargo hold just get emptier with less limpets

Limpets get used up and free up cargo space in the process, yes. Prospectors are not necessary however they double the resources you can get out of a single asteroid.

It's going to feel different than ETS2. Some missions in E:D are just conveying goods from point A to point B and some are shit or have shit payouts. Horizons is more for people who reach end game so do not get it. E:D doesn't feel comfy either since you're in space and space is fucking nothing with no one. It probably won't be worth it for years by now. And no custom radio in E:D.

>new player experience

The hot new buzzword that every retard on the forums and plebbit likes to use. I wasn't doing anything different from when I started to where I am now. I'm still roaming RES, still occasionally exploring. The only difference is that back then I was ignorant of how shallow the game is, and I've long since stopped doing missions because they're worthless unless you want to RP with the BGS.

fuck. Thanks.

Somebody needs to create and maintain IsEliteDangerousGoodYet.com so I won't have to ask the same questions every 6 months.

...

Can't deliver to planet surfaces, be space bus driver, carry shortrange fighters or drive an actual land vehicle around without Horizons. Also it's pay2win because of Engineers. Not having engineer upgrades is gimping yourself.

...

To be fair if someone bought into an early access game and complained about lack of a "new player experience" they're the idiot. I can only imagine what release day is going to look like for new players when everyone who was playing through alpha and beta shut them the fuck down even after they play through CIGs tutorial? Pic related.

>tfw I unironically enjoy cruising through space since I find it to be relaxing and I enjoy approaching distant planets and seeing them get larger
Must be the 'tism.

...

>E:D doesn't feel comfy either since you're in space and space is fucking nothing with no one.

Now I've got a lot of grievances about E:D but atmosphere is not one of them. Space is pretty and FDev don't pay their sound team enough.
