/scg/edg/ Star Dangerous Elite Citizen General #174

>How will manufacturing work?
I believe there is actually a lot of detail released about this over ATVs and other media. I remember this big flowchart detailing the exact process it takes for ore to end up as consumer goods or weapons etc.

Perhaps some kind user saved it?

youtube.com/watch?v=VcYWTd0JTaE

The only show the unique non doctor smart never criticizes but should in theory be full of opportunities to critique.
Why is that I wonder?

>If Python and Anaconda had a baby.

>entire team is unhinged and slowly going insane trying to push out 3.0
Godspeed.

>Let's drop some Guardian relics, into Thargoid machine.
>What can possibly go wrong.

do we know if SC will have uploadable decals/nosearts for ships/orgs?

If they find a way, to charge you money for it.
Then the chances are pretty high.

they wouldent be that greedy, would they?

I wonder what happens if you throw in some human made consumer electronics.

They wouldn't charge hundereds of dollars, for a promise of giving you a virtual ship, somewhere in a far future.
Oh, wait...

Probably nothing.
Who cares about humans.

We need another space game in here, this general is dead

>buy E:D 2 years ago
>play through the tutorial like a pleb I am
>combat time
>waste some punks
>beat Old Faithful
>this asshole turns up
>REKT
>remember that fucker today
>boot up combat tutorial again
>die AGAIN

Is realize this was in jest but it would be interesting if it reacted to actual human artifacts like ancient artifact or AI relic canisters.

>Thargorts don't like Guardians

Well now we know where the guardians went, and probably why the thargroots were immediately hostile towards humanity in the first game. The guardians weren't all that dissimilar from humanity. Probably too alike for their liking.

So the new weapons to fight the thargorrhoids will be guardian tech, surely.

So.

I had a SQ42/SC Package with an Aurora LN upgraded to an Aurora Titan.

Melted that shit, bought it back, upgraded it to a Nox.
Bought another Nox with LTI and upgraded it to a Cutlass Black.

Did I make a mistake? I'm in love with the Cutlass already and love the upcoming rework.

>hey, let's put these jew artifacts in these nazi ruins, I wonder what happens??

GIMME 3.0 CHRIS YOU FRICKIN KEK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GIMME THE FRICKIN GAME FRICKIN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>youtube recommends me SC live streams
>go into random SC livestreams and ask if the game will ever be released
>streamer and his rabid fanboy followers desperately try to find excuses on why it's "worth the wait"
>ITS NEVER BEEN DONE BFORE! REQUIRES TIME & PATIENCE!11! CHILL OUT GUYS! JSUT CHILL!! STOP TROLLN GUISE!! BUGS ARE EXPECTED!

Every stream.
Every time.

I'm sure having Lando's terrible comedic timing and obnoxious questions all up in their shit doesn't make the job any easier.

...

So, you have a Nox with 3 months insurance and Cutlass with LTI?
That's not bad, you might miss out a bit without a starter ship, if that is something you care about.
If you don't care about skipping a tier, then you have a great start. If you are like me and want to feel the game from the start, pick up another LN.
>SC live streams
Never ever. I'm convinced that the SC live streams are DARPA experiments to see if they can kill someone remotely with just cringe.

>Does the Nox have landing gear, for when it’s powered all the way down?
>No, the Nox hovers at all times with emergency power. If you’ve drained even that, it will fall and be sad. Take care of your Nox.

Kek.

>550 top AB speed.
Melting that shit. They said it was fast.

Yup, 3 months with the Nox and LTI on the Cutlass.
I don't mind skipping the start, as small-scale hauling and a few fights here and there are the only what I need. Also, it's able to take some friends, which is something I don't want to miss.

You're fine, and I like the insurance setup. The Nox won't benefit from LTI as much as the Cutlass.

Fuck trying to guess what tool or feature they will cover tomorrow. What are the odds they will show gameplay tomorrow?
Has anything been announced for Friday?

>pff, what a shit lambo. doesnt even hit mach 1.

Actually it kinda does lol

>I meant mach 2
>mach 1= 340 m/s aprox
>mach 1+ on fucking land

Thats nuts lool

It goes 223mph on the ground.

It's top speed in space is 1230mph or Mach 1.6 agl.

I actually thought the speedometer showed m/s which means if what the user says its true (550 m/s) then its idd greater than 340 m/s (which I quickly corrected).

The hell with you and your feet and inches and muppets per hour shit imperial system! Use fucking meters already godammit! Its the age of the programmer and the mathematician, not the fucking artisan.

Sorry, was using freedom units. The ships speeds are m/s already. 1980 kph in space 360 kph on ground. Better? An M50 top speed is 3276 kph.

>>SC live streams
>Alllriiight guys we're just about to hop into Arena Commander, I just installed my new two stick HOSAS system.
>There's still 45 minutes until the next giveaway, we'll be giving away an Aurora LN game package so make sure to stick around
>If you're just tuning in and are new to Star Citizen, basically it's a game that's being made by the guy who did Wing Commander, it's still in early stages but what they've done so far is mindblowing. Also they're paying me to say this.

Every time I check out SC on twitch, I feel compelled to scream at my computer. It's not my computer's fault that I have literally never seen a SC streamer mention being sponsored, even though they are giving away game packages supposedly paid for by donations.

Its actually only 360 Km/h on the ground. Which is fine since its Mclaren/Bughati tier.

It only goes over mach 1 in space, whihc is an environment where nobody is going to use it.

>specially if the dragonfly can actually compact itself more and fit in stations for the lulz so noobs like me can pwn CS and CoD fags.

>Its actually only 360 Km/h

>Q&A
>100 m/s on land

...

>rekt by thecolonel tut

u srs?

There's a tutorial?
>tfw the tutorial is the only unexplored territory.

Got way too much time on my hands waiting for this game.

Is the Freelancer a decent ship if you only want the space trucking/exploration aspect?

Yeah it's the perfect ship for that, Constellation also.

>those contrails
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Anyone here play with a non-Vive/Oculus HMD?

>Contrails episode
Fuck. Show fucking gameplay dickheads.
>non-Vive/Oculus HMD
There is such a thing?

lool

Thinking of getting this on PS4
What kind of shit can you do with friends besides pirate and co op minan/tradin

Should I buy Evochron Legacy?
Does Star Citizen accept multiple input devices?

Elite is a shit game on any platform. Stay far away.

Wait, didn't Chris say that 3.0 was going to be out by Christmas of last year? At least tell me that this 3.0 is not stripped down in any way.

>butthurt EDturds keeping the thread alive by posting shiat bait

live

Disgusting lies.

Well, nothing. Pirate, mine, trade, explore. Shoot shitters for fun. That's about it.

What more could you want?

>coop minan/tradin
Oh boy have we got news for you....

Think of it this way: They crippled any means of in-game trading tools that could help you monitor prices across systems.
PC gamers have to use 3rd party tools and view the data on a different screen. You want to do that with your PS4?

Trading with friends.... look at the pic I added. You have to do it one item at a time. Creds can't be transferred. No group-friendly tools in this game.

Hows my Anaconda's range Commandads?
I'm working on a fun explorer / utility ship I can take out far away and do some pristine mining or whatever I want to do. I've been around 5.5k Ly from the bubble in my ASP-Explorer and kind of want to go back out there with my big ship.

5A Thrusters (Dirty 3)
6A FSD (Range 5)
5A Power Plant (Overcharged 1)
1A Power Distributor (Lol)
2x 6A AFM
6A Fuel Scoop
Vehicle Hangar (Small)
Fighter Hangar (Small)
4A Shields (Low power 4)
5A Collector Limpets (Light 3)
8D Sensors (Light 4)
KWS/Manifest/Advanced/Wake scanners (Light)
Surface Scanner (Range 5)
Mining Laser
Size 7 cargo (128T)

Considering swapping out an AFM for something like Fuel Transfer size 1 or whatever just for more "stuff", also that fuel scoop is a whole size above what I need. Anyone have ideas? The mods are obviously a constant work in progress.

Because the date means fuckall anyway. 3.0 has the magic ability to be six weeks away from any point in time.

Piracy is near impossible versus other players and kind of lame versus the AI, Trading is barely valuable once you have your first decent ship and mining is never worth the time or effort.

The game is all about the Combat, "Exploration" and Docking. Plus min/maxing with hundreds of hours of grinding for parts to gamble with in the RNG machines.

>Piracy is near impossible versus other players
How so?

You need to pull them out of supercruise which 50/50 they'll submit or fight it (than its another 50/50 depending on factors).

If they submit they can usually just run and high wake (jump) to the next system within 15 seconds which is usually not enough time to destroy the shields of most ships, let alone the whole thing.

If you somehow get them to stop, and can be heavy and fast enough that they cant jump away, you need to scan them to see what they have, talk to them, get them to drop the cargo and then retrieve it before they run away. You can't see what a target has unless you're in normal flight mode.

Just destroying them will make you lose the loot. On top of all this, finding another human is semi-uncommon already. Oh also, you can force-quit out of the game before your ship gets destroyed and you'll be immortal/vanish in a few seconds leaving the other player with blue balls. Then they could just remember your name and block you from ever being seen by them again.

Why do people think Cutlass will go up in price? It's the only ship in 100$ price range and makin it anything above that would diminish its role as the supplementary/elementary pirate ship.

>Coming in Around the Verse tomorrow: Updates from the ATX studio, Turbulent, and a look at updated engine trails!

>15 seconds which is usually not enough time to destroy the shields of most ships, let alone the whole thing.

HAHAHAHA No.

It got much bigger, gained a shitload of utility, gained cargo space, gained a size three weapon mount. Is now likely the most flexible small multicrew ship out there, Doing everything from gunship support to discrete cargo to dropship duty to vehicle delivery to live in intro MC starter ship. It even has an airshielded rear cargo door and Isolated Cargo bay for Easy EVA access.

And all for less than a freelancer or hornet. Maybe they want them to be literally everywhere so they'll keep the price low cus as things stand now its the clear and easy choice if you want to start out with a multicrew ship. But I doubt it will stay at $100.

The only real up in the air question about it is will it fit in the polaris Hangar. If it does there is not better ship to put there.

Well I did say usually and you're not a very good pirate if you're blowing up what you're trying to steal.

Who /explorer/ here?

youtu.be/GOSuB8ZjSE8

Transfer of salt to my account is automatic the instant their ship explodes.

Lotta work for a little salt mining

Better off using suicidewinders to kill large ships

>Better off using suicidewinders to kill large ships
What will be the SC equivalent of that?
How many Auroras at full AB can slam into the side of a Starfarer without destroying it?

>Trading with friends.... look at the pic I added. You have to do it one item at a time. Creds can't be transferred. No group-friendly tools in this game
I keep wishing for a support ship, maybe a modified Type-9 that allows other ships to dock with it. Or be grappled by it forcing them to dock. To allow repair, refuel, resupply, transfer of cargo. Maybe even a large or huge weapon hardpoint "weapon" that's actually a retractable repair/restock robot arm. Or maybe just allow two ships to dock with each other on their cargo bays.

They're adding ship repair probes in 2.4

>I keep wishing for a support ship
M8, buy SC. At least our hype hasn't been totally smashed yet. The list of impossible things we will see before support ships in ED is so long, that you should either switch games, or find peace in your life. The only way that would ever happen is if the game dies, they release the source, and someone makes a mod.

>tfw 300,000 REC and nothing to do with it

right now, 0, but its unreliable. sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the SF instadies. Sometimes you bounce off the shields and cause damage but dont kill.

Kamikaze manned aurorapedoes is a long running and persistent Reddit/TEST meme that I fully expect to persist all the way through alpha and beta and then not actually occur much when the PU is actually live>Implications due to permadeath and character loss. Also most sizeable ships have sizeable point defense guns and actually getting an aurora into ram range and then connecting against anything but an oblivious target is probably a lot harder than it sounds. I Imagine the go-to for killing larger ships on the cheap is going to be RAWKETPAWDS.

rent ten glaives, part them on all the pads at port olly.

er, wait... nvm... godammit.

We could try adding Hellion, I suppose.

Spending more on the game than the cost of an avenger is probably a mistake.

Granted I have a Cutlass and Dragonfly, so I have no room to talk.

I was trying to think of how CIG would bring REC into the PU with ship and equipment rental when I realized how huge a money sink that would be. No way they would use 2 currencies, rentals will burn through aUEC/UEC like crazy.
Rent Cats and enter races.
>Kamikaze manned aurorapedoes is a long running and persistent Reddit/TEST meme.
I should have guessed that. The size 4 missile mounts would be fun in a line abreast salvo of 20 of them.
Fucking please do. I am so fucking lost and I just want to get my ship running. Do I need to dock all that shit together at first, or just the airlock? Wtf do I do next? What am I even supposed to do?
The game looks good and is dripping with space dread, but I'm borderline retarded and can't get my head around it.

no, fuck off, we are not doing that.
you keep being told off by various people.
the answer is still the same, two games makes the thread messy enough, more will make it unreadable.
If you want a "space games general" go fucking make it, do not include E:D SC /scg/ or /edg/ in the title. You don't get to furhter shit up our thread because you want to talk about an even deader game that even fewer people play and can't keep a thread for it alive.

>thread dies constantly
>don't talk about anything else, you'll shit it up
kys.

1) no idea
2) yes it does, at least 3 as far as I've tested. Although it sometimes randomly reassigns which input is which

The whole point of REC is that they don't have to balance it because it doesn't affect anything.

how can you shit up something that's dead half the day?

Because fatfuck Ben hinted that it would around the same time he said the super hornet was going up.

You're right. They have to integrate ship purchases eventually for *UEC and it would seem like a huge opportunity missed if they don't include rentals also. If they do rentals in game, it would have to be for *UEC, not REC.
I don't know what you could burn that kind of REC on.

*aUEC or UEC whichever is relevant at the time.

It will stop being dead when 3.0 is out. The stink of a mixed thread will be much harder to deal with than being dead at night becasue theres nothing to talk about.

The thread does not need to be up 100%, it does need to be coherent when its up. Two games makes its schizo enough, leads to group v group shitposting and generally causes problems, three or more will be much worse in terms of incoherence and general readability.

Nothing stops you from making /space games general/ for any other game you wanna discuss, but you don't get to just hijack a general and keep a game you want afloat with its traffic, that is specifically not how Veeky Forums works. The whole purpose of this board is to have threads for specific games. even /scg/edg/ is a compromise that causes issues. We put up with it for expedience and because the games are VERY similar in play, playerbase and theme, however once SC is actually a game /scg/ will be split off again, probably not at 3.0, but whenever we hit beta.

Oh yeah, they'll probably have ship rentals with UEC in the PU eventually.

But REC is still going to exist as the "fuck around" currency.
