WHAT DO THEY MEAN

Did he really get banned from FDev forums?

Like five times already, but they keep unbanning him so he can continue to shitpost in the SC thread.

Makes for good bedtime reading

'Threadly' reminder that Star Citizen will have it's commercial release before Half Life 3 is announced

>tfw we'll never get real AX frag cannons because those giant bullseye ships would have to eat every single fragment in the volley

Target them. If they come up wanted then they're unsanctioned and you can destroy them with impunity.
Also as far as the radar goes, signals along the top half are technological while signals along the bottom are mineral deposits. The bottom signals that crackle are low grade while a more solid hum means higher grade.

what're you going to buy with the $1800 store credit when you inevitably realize you can't solo crew your own fleet and your org runs off with half your ships and then /gkick's you?

B-but I got 70 goys with me =<
Besides I rather spend my shekels on digital spess sheps over letting the commie socialist guv'ment I get to have take it all away and give it to a bunch of niggers
I'm gonna try and grab one of those Pioneers too just to set my shekels on fire now that the commies are gonna come around for a visit again
I rather BURN my shekels before letting the commies take it all away..!

EVERYTHING BURNS!!1111!!!11!!!

>I rather BURN my shekels before letting the commies take it all away..!
You have alluded to this before. What are you on about? Why will your money go away if you don't spend it?

Go look up communism and (((socialism))), maybe you'll learn something

Yeah, I got too much money to make to fuck with high school reading lists.

Nice fellow Aurora user. I'm glad someone else is sticking to a base package.

>Aurora
not a poor bro, just wanna work my way up like this user. This i can respect.

Not that user but I've only got an LN.

The whole thing with the Gladius recently made me lose any will to pledge for anything bigger.

The only thing they did to the gladius recently was give it bigger guns?

well, I did upgrade to the LN but I'm not gonna give them any more shekels.

just from experience with ED, it's actually kind of boring to just have the best ships right away or quickly. I've definitely been tempted to buy another ship or two but I think it'll be more fun this way anyways.

The thing they did recently is confirm the ship I was eyeballing because it literally said it had a "laser focus on dogfighting" wasn't going to match up to a Hornet.

Even if that isn't explicitly true now it gives me an insight into how they're going to balance things, and I'm not interested in pledging for that wishy-washy bullshit.

LN is all you need anyway. Better armed than a gladius and has the element of surprise. Less fun to fly though, the gladius is a real hoot

inb4 not REAL communism/socialism

No, I don't think anyone was going to say that here.

How exactly is 2xS2 + 2xS1 better armed than 2xS2 + a gimballed S2 with better DPS than a S3 + more missiles?

The LN has four guns m8. The last time I played they were all S2, and you can actually aftermarket them unlike the gladius nose gun.

Two of them are S1, just like I said. They downgraded them.

and sure, I could slap something aftermarket on, but if it was as good as the Scorpion I wouldn't

> it's actually kind of boring to just have the best ships right away or quickly

>laughs in freedom

21 of July we will see 3.0 coming out.

>2018

Is the darth vader armor and the silver bald with a ragged cape one meant to replace the sparrer and the slugger ones?

How do I git gud? I do basic delivery missions using my Eagle trying to get money but I feel like I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere.

I've got a feeling I need to build my rep up to become respectable but all I'm doing is warping from point to point. Also, how the fuck do you time your exits so you don't fly the fuck past a station?

pls no bully. A modest number for a modest trader.

Space is fun
No mans sky is fun
Sean Murray is fun

being smart with your money is nothing to be bullied over.

if anything, we should be bullying the people who've dropped thousands on ship jpegs when there has been very little actual progress with SC.

Fair point

ur the smart ones
defend this

even my fleet is too much, although gonna try to BMM->Reclaimer if they don't boost price on it

brother
I wish I had stuck with my original Aurora LN

None are getting fully replaced, just updated. The most recent atv is all about this.

Why do they bother to change the date on this??
We all fucking know they won't even get a 3rd of all this shit in before the end of this year so why even bother to keep this piece of shit overview up when it's all bullshit?????

The fuck are you talking about? You can swap out the Gladius nose gun at any time. Mine has a Badger on it right now.
It's also getting upgunned on the wings with S3s.

>Ben LardNeck and Homeless santa going on about big reveal at the ShitizenCON intro by Croberts himself on stage

>My loathing for Ben LardNeck and Homeless santa who even now is trying to hype/sell shit intensifies along with what will be YET ANOTHER fucking train wreck like last year's holiday stream

Those are internal target dates you illiterate, this is exactly why they have a long caveat you have to scroll through to see it

Maybe I'm thinking of the avenger?

>internal target dates
You soft in the head or something??
Don't you fucking DARE to even pretend to believe that they're gonna do Hurston and motherfucking Crusader at this point in time when they're desperately trying to fucking duct-tape some garbage of theirs for ShitizenCON and the fucking holiday stream

Like I said those are target dates set to encourage development. The rest of the stanton planets are chugging along, we just arent getting the constant teasers we got with arccorp. They might even be revealed at citcon.

Well to be fair CIG probably have their work cut out making Odin II Odin III Odin IV and Gainey the moon that orbits The Coil the Asteroid cluster left over from Odin I.
SQ42 takes place in the Odin system for sure and possibly Nyx and Kellog too which have their own planets as well.

So sounds like cig has finally given up on trying to make a unified turret sizing system and are now admitting that it's just going to be what ever they feel like giving a ship on a per case basis like they've actually been doing since arena commander went live (aka the"hornet will always be given the best and most options" system)

I'm a little disappointed they axed dual/tri/quad weapon mounts. I always loaded out a hornet with like sixteen different S1 weapons to unleash a dazzling rainbow beam of shitty damage.

Sounds like they've even nixed the ability to put smaller guns on hard points without gimbals

I'm not sure what your picture has to do with any of the objective truths you have written and linked

did the freelancer lose it's iconic guns??

Well they never added them in the first place... But the delusion that they'd eventually be able to be converted to ai controlled turrets and do the shit showed in the commercial is dead.

Cause motherfuckers bullshitting me about this bullshit meme "lots of work done", they got jack fucking shit and so if they're gonna bullshit me, Imma fucking hook their lying cunt whore mouths with fucking bait hooks and give 'em a piece of motherfucking reality

Think critically here. Why would they even lie to themselves and us initially that 3.0 was going to have all the stanton planets? It's because the biggest asset block, the tailored landing zones, were almost done. It's the procedural tech that's holding them back, because they don't havve the city and gas giant biomes needed for crusader and arccorp in sufficient working order to let players abuse them, and making three more area 18 shopping modules would massively diminish the impact of those zones in their final in universe state.

as a subscriber i demand all source code, access to evocati and a dinner date with chris roberts (withotu sandi present) so he can listen to my ideas.

>Why would they even lie to themselves and us initially that 3.0 was going to have all the stanton planets?
Maybe because they are lying scammers who have misrepresented the progress of the project for the entire duration? No one except dumb retards would think they have extra work done that they are holding and not hyping up.

It's like the Landoleak never happened for you isn't it cuntrag.

...

>implying goons actually follow development
They follow dev twitters because that's where drama happens

>leaks entire game
>not fired
>leak wasn't intentional
>nothing from the leak has been released or made it in game
ok Culty McKoolaid

They retconned ArcCrop being a city planet, still a massive amount of city but not planet wide. No point in creating procedural city backdrops anymore, especially for one planet. I believe they also successfully placed ArcCorp on a planet somewhat recently, according to them anyway.

I think the real reason is getting them working in game, the landing zones could be done, but what of the sound effects, additional quest givers like Ruto, shops, distinct clothing styles (on the NPCs also), ArcCorp would presumably need that job centre working, who knows what they have in mind for Microtech or Hurston. They've clearly switched to a "We don't want it in until it's nearly functionally perfect", why put in landing zones that are nothing but an asset showcase? They took off more than they could chew, I doubt they believed they could still be struggling with basic AI path finding 2 years over they started on the new AI system.

>They retconned ArcCrop being a city planet, still a massive amount of city but not planet wide.
Show me where they said this

what is the landoleak?
I only come here every great once and a while

Watch the recent lore episode about Stanton on their YouTube channel.

I just cant understand why they would do that. They will need a city generator either way, having non city elements will actually make more work for them

it was a large leak of game assets a couple years ago. Like all the early models of unreleased ships you see on youtube videos came from that leak.

They've been working on moons and you can already see repetition in the land in rather small areas, they'll add variety over time but imagine working in a city environment where adding more variety is more buildings to create, more layouts, etc. All that would have to be unique to the architecture to ArcCorp and its unique look. I've never seen procedural buildings that actually look great either, not near SC fidelity that's for sure. Non city elements can be borrowed from the other planets and reused, unless ArcCorp happens to own landing zones on other planets a lot of the assets can't be reused unless they're going to the route of reskinning buildings like with the outposts, which will more than likely look like shit.

We'll probably still city generation tech (it's in RnD) but probably not on a planetary scale. I wouldn't put it past Chris to retcon the retcon later, but looking it at practically, why waste so much resources on a single landing zone? That kind of effort should be put into major areas like Terra or Earth.

basically Homeless santa "unintentionally" left a link on some image that he put out there, people punched in the link in the browser etc. and boom, everything they were working on etc. was available (super dreadnaught, Terra etc.)
Somehow despite proving himself to be a liability for CIG & co. Croberts decided to keep his fucking ass around just like with Ben Lardneck I guess

Not much. Bunch of assets, whiteboxed ships and environments. The bigger drama was the morons putting watermarks on a 'leak' like they were trying to claim it.

Probably because half those ships were getting redone anyway, I mean they hired an entire studio to develop the Vanduul ships and then scrap them all to develop ships that look worse, something to do with spikes being hard to make look good at a distance, too performance heavy, whatever.

>N-not much, i-it was nothing..!
Homeless santa, how many hours do you spend licking the feet of Croberts/Sandi Gardiner just so you keep your "job"?

About as much time as people spend grinding out Engineers.

How did this leak damage CIG.

>It doesn't matter that Homless santa is fucking incompetent and fucks up big time
Just. fucking. stop.
No one here gives a rat's ass about Ben LardNeck or fucking Homeless santa, hell CIG has proven to everybody with a fucking brain that the whole "community communication" shitshow is put on fucking 'as cheap as you can fucking get it' mode: Have the fat fuck who would suck Crobert's dick if he asked him to and then have the fat fuck's piece of shit SJW snowflake "admins" to fucking act as "moderators" for the austismo forums shit and in addition, have the fucking fat fuck's fucking fat wife(?) come on in because they hadn't quite hit critical mass yet
Lastly to top it all fucking off, they fucking pick one if not THE most fucking disliked pieces of shit that JUST happens to be doing "goofy" garbage with fucking SC assets come on in and act as "community manager" for shit and giggles
FUCK. YOU!

Why don't we wait for another year or two and see how many of these assets will pop up in some fucking chink gayme with a "developer" who's gonna shit all over CIG and claim they fucking made those assets?

It's already been two years, user. How many more years I gotta wait. Sounds like you just want more drama, like when a shitty chinese artist stole assets from a Cawadoody game. That was funny for like a moment and then everyone forgot about it too.

I think most of the ships in the leak have been officially teased now anyway.

Are you okay?

are you saying you wouldn't want a dinner date with chris alone?

jeez what a shit thread

maybe Erin, just because I want to get him drunk, then record him bad mouthing Chris so I can blackmail him for free jpgs.

The real question here is why they would bother to show internal schedules at all. The dates slide around so much that it's borderline useless for making estimations of progress or time left until a content patch drops.

simply a reflection of the game and devs responsible
