It is the standing Recommendation of /scg/ that if your game package contains an Aurora MR, Aurora ES or Mustang Alpha you would be well served to upgrade it to an Aurora LN. It's only like ten bucks and provides a significant increase in firepower and survivability without any real downsides. Be aware, this is the gateway drug to wasting your life savings on spaceship jpegs, keep your discipline and don't upgrade further unless you hate money and love waiting, frustration, feelings of betrayal and high blood preassure. >newFAQs pastebin.com/7194hpmf
>"Big Aegis Multicrew ship that looks like a lengthened Sabre with a B-24s ballturret on it's ass". I'm gonna assume that post is full of shit, becasue theres no way they'd let an office visit see the big surprise for citcon early, but it is not and if that's not a sneakily reworked Retaliator I'm gonna be platinum mad.

Why does Derek Smart hate space sims?
He said David Braben could not make Elite Dangerous. Why?
He said Chris Roberts could not make Star Citizen. Why?
Xavier Allen
My money is on reworked Retaliator, famalam
Ryan Davis
>a sneakily reworked Retaliator If it is, then they'll probably also sneakily raise the price by a hundred dollars before the reveal.

It would be nice if it became a real ship instead being npc escort mission tier, especially since the 600i was such a dud and the Aquila's "improved view" still has a million struts blocking your vision.
Josiah Watson
He's incompetent and everyone knows it so no one paid any attention or money to him or any of his projects at all. He was/is tremendously jealous of CR and Braben getting both attention and resources to create the same sort of thing he wanted, but was unable to create due to incompetence, he assume that because he couldn't do it, it wasn't possible since he has an inflated opinion of himself and his ego was too large to allow him to admit that and seek to join either project to both be involved in success and also learn how to actually make games. So, he's turbo butthurt about people giving CR money and doesn't have anything better to offer(he thinks he does and offers it, See Line of Defense, its shit and everyone mocks it, even more so than SC memery) when his first attempts(backing and then talking about his "games") at skimming attention from SC fails he starts loudly shitposting about how SC is gonna fails and Roberts is a hack and its a scam,"people" pay attention to him for once in the form of the goons, they egg him on because they love mayhem, this is more attention that he has ever gotten for anything and attention to those who crave it is an addictive aphrodisiac, he's hooked and needs more. He shitposts harder and harder, becomes utterly obsessed, to the point of real life stalking and getting restraining orders filed. At some point maybe even before all this begins he develops an obsession with Sandi "Spooky Skellingtion" Gardiner.
He hates them because he can't even begin to compete with them and that fact threatens his image of himself as a great game developer and he either has to accept the damage or see SC and E:D destroyed, because If they fail he can think his rectal splatter is better for having 8 players on steam all of whom are actually devs.

It "tech-illiterate" the new insult buzzword? I always liked faggot, its simple, unassuming, and doesn't make everyone think you're wearing a fedora while phoneposting from your iPhone in a fedora store.
Faggot.
Nathan Moore
it's not a buzzword, it's an accurate description of your average cultist, to whom game development is pure magic. they cannot distinguish between CIG marketing bullshit and knowledgable experts like derek. so they just see "criticism" vs "their idol" and conclude that derek must be wrong even though they didn't understand a single word and just regurgitate technical terms they heard actual devs throw around on atv or bug smashers or whatever.
Elijah Bennett
CIG have become honorary kikes with their marketing shit, However. >knowledgable expert your are trolling.

Seriously it needs a buff. It takes all 6 torps to completely destroy a starfarer. God forbd you should be needing to shoot at anything bigger. If you do, your options are swarm tallies, or just go with the presumably cheaper and overall more effective option like bring a polaris or idris.
Angel Nelson
Also I feel the tally should be given 3 roles it could fulfil depending on how i is set up. Either as the bomber it is now, but again withbuffed torps, buffing them in both effectiveness per torp and in amount carried. Then one should also be able to rip the torps out and turn it into a local fighter superiority ship by being to just load up on an obscene amount of smaller missiles, but as a result losing its ability to really threaten larger ships. And thirdly just rip all the missile launchers/racks out and stuff the bays full of your illegal porn shipment.
Aiden Richardson
2.4 is coming out September 26th 2017
Landon Lee
the favorite thing to me about Quince is not the credits earned, but being around actual people. Elite Dangerous feels like a single player game 99% of the time so it's nice to see it.
that's one thing I wish they'd try to promote, the congregation of actual people.
Sebastian Brown
@everyone the suprise reworked ship is obviously the Redeemer
Brandon Evans
Too many uncoordinated dads and manchildren attacking traders so it'll never happen out CG, POI's and FOTM systems.
Jacob Gray
This wouldn't be an issue if traders just convoy'd up with escorts and travel in big safe groups but noooooo fuck having a wing larger than 4 fuck you FDev. Fuck having pirates coordinate attacks on said large groups and allowing emergent gameplay.
Connor Perry
To make that a reality they need to do the following and probably more
1. Only Open
2. Better instances/ Network reliability
3. Increase commodities market trading by 200+ percent. Maybe all the time or when there's wanted CMDR's in a certain radius of the system. 20-10? System wide. I refuse to believe updating a commodities board based on that information is hard to code.
4. increase the wing trade bonuses you get from your wingmates selling commodities exc. by at least 1000% for the "protectors" of the convoy.. So a 1 million profit trade run would give the protector a ~250k reward. Easiest way to prevent this new feature from being abused is only give it to a specific list of combat oriented ships and the CMDR must not have cargo on him besides limpets. So it can't be like a Anaconda trading double dipping.
5. Combat logging doesn't actually do anything. i.e. look at raging quitting in World of Tanks. Your vehicle just stays in game and people can farm you.
6. Wings 16+ limit
7. Galnet generated maps displaying a top 10 or 50 system table of highest CMDR trader/ CMDR pirating taking place. Or something similar to that. We've seen they can track this, look at the recent CG's. Just so you as a pirate/ trader don't have to wonder around looking for where the action is.
9. Actually tell every single player multiple times that you can do this and explain how to do it. Set up a matchmaking for Wings/ Trading maybe. Limit the matchmaker to 25-50ly So you don't have to travel to far to wing up. Or maybe Chat will actually become used and something like that won't be needed. I highly doubt the latter though.
Probably needs revising but it's a start.
It's funny because what I've just listed besides # 1 & 2 should be relatively easy to implement. It's just priorities are not set on making trade convoys a thing atm.
Mason Morris
I suspect the most viable tactic for retailators will end up being escort-less, solo piloted Kamikaze runs that fly in with full power to shields, and try to live long enough to spam all their torpedoes, then let the ship get destroyed, because as long as you have the torp version instead of the base model, it will be cheaper to get the whole ship replaced than restock and repair it.

I want it all!
Currently I have: >imperial eagle >cobra >dbx >100m
I should have never gone to Quince... I was at 10m before and gearing up to buy a vulture... now my options have tripled and it seems kind of silly to just not go for something beefier.
Landon Clark
Dump the Cobra and start outfitting a Python, or keep grinding for conda
Camden Morris
don't listen to this nigger stick with vulture or some low tier fed ship and a rate it. You'll burn yourself about if you grind to an Anaconda with Quine. And you'll have no idea how to use it.
Nicholas Myers
Between the shitpost dadposting and unironic dadposting, this thread isn't that fun anymore.

Just like Elite.

If you want something beefier than a vulture that doesn't handle like a lead bathtub full of even more lead then get the sexual assault ship.
Kayden Morgan

Brandon Hughes
So what'd Chris say that pissed off the casuals who hate survival/needs mechanics?
Adrian Collins
I suppose that would make some sense actually, given how they suddenly cared about it again recently. Would line right up with the kikery, "we're about to raise this things price, take it out of the store so people wont howl as much when we tack a hundred bucks on."
Nathaniel Adams
talked about a need to drink, maintain O2, eat, feed npcs and shower.

In game food can only be purchased with real money
Owen Sanders
Incorrect. In-game food will be purchased with UEC, you will need about 10,000 UEC per crewman per day. UEC real money purchase will be restricted to 150,000UEC per week. But don't forget each of your npc crewmen is an account (unless you hired them in-game) so you'll have plenty of avenues to buy UEC and food for them.
Cameron Miller

I just wanted a pretty space sim... As far as I'm concerned my character is a fucking robot that doesn't need food, sleep or to shit.
Chase Ward
Just noticed that /plebbit/starcitizen is in meltdown. What's going on lads? Roberto run off with the money yet?
Camden Fisher
Nothing as far as I know, maybe theyre just now realizing what we all realized like 6 months ago and its popping their little bubbles.
Leo Jenkins
Welcome to being human :)
Benjamin Myers
It's possible food and air will only be an area buff that need to be renewed by having food in your ship wacky gamey mechanic you know, food animation being idle mode I wish, else we'll also have to manage working hours for our crew of NPC
Charles Perry
I'm entering cryosleep tommorow, how long should I tell them to put me in for so when I wake up star citizen is released?
Mason Rodriguez
If you go into the cryoengine, you will never be released.

Video games didn't use to be like this
Carter Gutierrez
I know.
6 months ago, march, was when it was starting to be clear that 3.0 was not close, CIG lied about it and something was wrong in terms of dev.
Dominic Wright
and when they were still teasing an alpha in 2016 it became clear that the game itself was not close even though they said that would be the "commercial release"
Mason Edwards
There's nothing to talk about until new patch comes out. Please disregard this thread.
Joseph Ross
so how to have fun in elite? been there, done that triple elite i dunno how or why i was playing it, because i stopped having fun around 100ths hour
Ethan Torres
elaborate nigger
Colton Sanders
>have 100 hours of fun >why isn't it fun anymore >abloobloo
Adrian Phillips
had much more fun with x'es, yeah and that was not exactly fun, it was more like (fun?)
Jaxon Rogers
>I had much more fun with x'es
Julian Richardson
And why is that? I rather liked 2, for example.
Jeremiah James
that's what I want to avoid doing. just going straight to the anaconda seems a little unfun.. especially when I want to try out every ship eventually.
I wish I had played around more before even jumping from the sidewinder to Cobra. I bought the Imperial Eagle for funsies after the DBX.
this is probably what I'm going to do, I just wonder how long I'll be able to hold out on not buying something better. I also wanted to try the Imperial Courier and ASP.
yeah, the Federal Assault Ship caught my eye. the Imperial Clipper is looking good too since I like multipurpose ships, but I don't think I'm ready for a large ship like that.
Jaxson Rivera
Convince me to/not launch and play Elite: Dangerous right this second.
Ethan Gutierrez
The 2nd tier Fed ship or The Imperial Clipper are both great choices if you want a superpower ship.
Aaron Carter
thargoids the 26th
Jackson Jones
Is that a reason to play or not to play? Please clarify.
Gabriel Phillips
consider that while multiple X games were being released the genre was still considered to be dead
Dylan Carter
wait 6 days to play
Brayden Foster
Is Elite: Dangerous still boring as fuck? I had heard something about them implementing multicrew but it being yet another dead on arrival "feature".
Was wondering whether I should waste the disk space with reinstalling to try to find out whether it's still just 99% waiting around in supercruise?
Samuel Martinez
thuggoids from the hood nebula
Chase Russell
3300. You'll be able to play it on the center console of your Sidewinder Mk1 when it comes out.
Jayden Carter
>2nd tier Fed
which would be what? the assault ship?
Jose Murphy
>go to cryosleep >set to wake up in the year 3300 >3300 >wake up >everyone's dead from nuclear holocaust >die within 5 days of waking up
mhm who would've thought
Evan Brown
>for funsies I've got a mostly stock Viper Mk4 I don't even take into supercruise just for the muscle car feels doing loops around an Orbis station.
Sebastian Green
>had much more fun with x'es
Me too, which seems kind of odd given how fucking garbage X's flight model is.
I guess I just like being a spacejew more than a big rig over the galaxy space trucker
Henry Phillips
And weapons that don't even have the range to clear the bow of some M1s
who even speaks like that? just say the ship name.
Gavin Morris
I'm not your maid kike. Google the fed ranks and look it up yourself
Samuel Rodriguez
>have to shower your NPCs
lather up, boys
Connor Barnes
Might not be so bad....
Isaiah Perry
that's where you're wrong, bitch. I own you.
Alexander Peterson
so, am I shit for using flight assist? I completely forgot it was even an option and I feel like a newborn fawn who isn't accustom to walking whenever I turn it off.
I end up just turning flight assist back on.
Ayden Hall
Then its FAS, yeah.
I think thats because Xes had some sort of progression, while Elite feels like sandbox with most of the toys requiring you to repeatedly hit yourself with a stick to be able to access them.
Blake Lee
FA-Off is a meme. There are situations where it's useful and with some ships more than others depending on flight model. Proper use of FA-Off is to just toggle it when you actually need it. Always remember when you want to stop that your retro thrusters are actually stronger with FA On.
