People will always find a way to spend on dumb shit. Does it bother you because of that or because this game could've been something more?
>>342261532

You should really learn about how developing a game in large team works before having an opinion on development process.
I am confident this game will be destroyed by it's undoubtedly toxic community and it's pay-to-win scheme.
I bought the Aurora pack just to play for a bit in the Alpha.
Turns out I can't run it well enough to bother with.
But it DOES have working gameplay. It's coming along, albeit slowly.

It's pretty damn great despite the bugs and low framerate AND lack of content. The basic mechanics are slowly coming together, it's obviously not ready now but you'd have to be a shitposter to think it won't end up succeeding.
It looks boring. Grind away for fake dollars or spend real dollars for fancy looking ships.
I prefer Space Engineers, at least in that game there is shit to do besides grind endlessly.
The biggest change in the alpha that needs to happen is:
>Ships become Disabled when taking enough damage to kill them. They are uncontrollable and larger ships will lose their speed (I don't know how to make that make science sense, but for balance they need to be boardable)
>Taking excessive damage once disabled will blow the ship up like usual. Smaller fighters and personal ships will also explode if they crash while out of control, but can be ejected out of even if its disabled.
Right now shit just instantly explodes, which looks silly. I'd much rather see the ship spin out of control and possibly crash into another ship or space object.
>>342263059
Kek, so much this. The rampant faggotry and shilling is emblematic of a problem deeper than post-purchase rationalization.
>>342264141
When the game is released none of the ship will be available for real money only money you earn in game...
>>342264141
The alpha is pretty boring.
Full game will have you able to buy ships with game money and not with real money.
>>342264249
>(I don't know how to make that make science sense, but for balance they need to be boardable)
How about just having EVA people match their speed?
>>342264141
I played Space Engineers once. I couldn't figure out what to do and got bored
>>342264457
That might work at some point, but with the buggy alpha movement it would be better to have them just magically stop, at least for the alpha.
They already have airlocks that pump air in before opening to space, so why not have more science bullshit.
The future must not belong to those who slander the /profit/ Roberts.

and
>Procedural planets coming before autumn
>>342265081
Not very telling even if it is true.
The same shit happens for lotteries, and IRL cars, and sculptures of dongs.
Some people just can't control their spending and it ruins their relationships. If Star Citizen didn't exist, they would have inevitably spent it all on something equally pointless.

It's funny how you faggots just can't give up the vaporware meme despite the fact that people post in-game screenshots in these threads all the time.
>>342265830
>Procedural planets coming before autumn
Are they?
Do you have a specifed date for 2.7?
Do you actually think "full planets" first release will be atmospheric flight and / or landing?
Truth is you fucking don't, and you shouldn't pretend otherwise. I'll get excited when those features actually come, not when I get promised them down the line. I have faith that they WILL come, but some unspecified "soon" isn't meaningful to me.

I don't understand the point in snub fighters.
Without a FTL drive how are they even useful at all? Seems like they can just fly around Olisar.
I get there is a Merlin attached to the Constellation, and that is cool as fuck, but you can also seemingly buy them to spawn on Olisar pads.

Anything bigger than a heavy fighter has a great big fat ass and is going to have a really hard time dealing with light fighters. Even medium fighters can have trouble shooting down shit like an M50. The answer to that is snub fighters.
>>342266623
So yes, you have absolutely no idea when its coming out.

But without a jump drive how are they even supposed to reach conflicts?
Unless there is a ship that can dock a whole bunch of smaller ships, it seems like they'd only work for defending a spawn point.

Constellation carries 1, Caterpillar can carry more than one, HULL series are supposed to be able to carry a few.
They aren't meant to "get to the conflict" themselves.
>>342266845
>Tech demo
>Janky and visually disgusting
Pick one
>>342266845
so whens it coming out?
>>342266901
They're not supposed to work standalone, as you said, they just latch onto a bigger ship like a Constellation and are deployed to assist. A Merlin is a fucking Death machine, it's incredibly fast and maneuverable since it doesn't need shit like a FTL drive.
>>342266901
>But without a jump drive how are they even supposed to reach conflicts?
>there is a ship that can dock a whole bunch of smaller ships
That is exactly how they work, piggybacking on a larger ship. For example, a Merlin Snub fits into the Constellation. Three Dragonflies can be put into a Caterpillar.
>>342267148
That was incredible...
>>342267089
When it's done? A soulless rehash of some tired IP takes 5 years, SC somehow takes less than 4 yet and tards scream bloody murder. It's the most technically ambitious game in history, how hard is it to wait?
>>342261532
please don't talk about it or I'm gonna buy it :c
if I would buy it now, let's say a basic package, one of those ~60 dollar ships and maybe Squad 42
What can I do? What are the features/things I can do, right now if I bought it
>>342266837
teleporting always were funny idea for me. whats stopping anyone put bomb to some jet and instantly warp it to some room with people you dont like? what if someone counts wrong and goes inside a mountain? its kind of risky just jump to anywhere without knowing some big asteroid rock might be just where you were going. its really silly concept
Oh boy it's this thread again. How about we just wait and see what happens. They're doing work on it, I'm just guessing a game of this size takes time to make. Especially when they're trying to reshape that shitty cryengine. Something will be made out of all this, I'm just not sure what
>>342266837
what
>>342261532
Mighty 5.6 crashing is one thing but THIS crashing would destroy whole crowdfunding system.
The "dark age of crowdfunding".
>>342267498
The trans-system "warping" is between known entrance/exit points that naturally occur and have to be mapped (by players). Can't do it everywhere.
Inter-system travel is a 0.2c speed mode (or sublight, anyway) which isn't really warping.
>>342267498
>whats stopping anyone put bomb to some jet and instantly warp it to some room with people you dont like?
They did that in Star Trek.
Most of the time games with warp/FTL/Jumps/whatever require a fairly large and power consuming secondary engine. Something you couldn't strap to a bomb without significant cost.
Most ships also have jump computers or similar. It's generally the excuse for not being able to jump right away, because you need jump calculations to not end up half way in a planet or star.
It's like you don't even watch sci-fi

And others in advance. ArcCorp was released months early compared to schedule.
>no solid release date
And this is bad why? "when it's complete", how thick is your skull exactly?
I backed the game to be done and great, not to play it by Q4 2016.
>>342267405
>What can I do?
The in-game Arena Commander dogfighting simulator is still around, but the real meat and potatoes these days is the Baby PU (Persistent Universe). It's a span of space surrounding the planet Crusader in the Stanton system with a bunch of space stations, a couple of asteroid fields, and Comm Relays that can be turned on or off by players and monitor a certain amount of space around themselves for stuff like player killing.
There's a couple of missions that you can earn a currency called aUEC which is a temporary placeholder for the final game's currency. You can spend it on guns, armor, in-game clothes, and shit like that. Repairing/refueling your ship costs aUEC, refilling your ammo costs aUEC, etc. It's a test for later implementation of the economy during the Beta.
There is also a detached landing zone you can visit but not much to do other than shop for the things I just mentioned. You can't actually land your ship on it right now as the landing system isn't done so you have to get there via a menu or in-game elevator in your hangar.
Oh and there's some rudimentary FPS gameplay at a Security Post in the Baby PU, but it's kind of just a free-for-all at this point. You can use your guns anywhere other than Port Olisar though so don't feel like you're confined to just that Security Post for FPS shit. It just doesn't happen anywhere else very often.

By the time you hear of such games, they're basically already done. Those delays and budget generally aren't published or even made known to the public.

Sorry MMOs take years to make

Where the fuck have you been? The funding ticker is at $116 million.
I have this, but every time I try to play I get frustrated how terrible it feels controlling with a stick, and it's only good with a mouse. They sell the game as "You're really in space!", but when they can't even get a decent flight model down for sticks that feels like a big lie.
>>342268781
Use fixed guns, not gimballed and you should be fine.
>>342268781
I exclusively play with stick.
Its got problems, but the flight model in general isn't one of them.
>>342268259
and can people seriously nigger away(steal) my ships?
other than that it sounds good, but maybe not enough content?
of course if I buy it and get bored I can just pick it up a year from now or whatever

>>342268887
Maybe, I'll give it another go. But I'm sure it will be just as shitty as the last time I tried.
>>342261532
I spent my enough for the basic backing of this game. I enjoy space sims and Star Citizen is still looking pretty good. I am not one to play around with alpha and beta etc etc. I usually wait for the full-game to release. So on occasion i go in and test out what is done and how Star Citizen has improved. Needless to say it is very entertaining. I like the recent additions to hit with 2.4? I think the recent patch. Anyways I rather play something like this than fucking shit like Depression Quest.
>>342269329
Probably, because you didn't git gud
>>342269003
another question, if I buy one of the basic ships, which one is "better"? or what's the difference?
I mean the Mustang Alpha - Aurora ships
>>342269003
>and can people seriously nigger away(steal) my ships?
They can steal and crash them, yeah. Lack of ship security is kind of annoying, it's only really a problem if you've got a new ship that everyone wants.
It costs nothing to recall your ship, but if it's destroyed it costs to recall it (or you wait five minutes). Pretty sure you get two ships, your bought one and a loaner cheap fighter
>>342269003
>and can people seriously nigger away(steal) my ships?
As of now, yes. They've been working on a system by which doors have locks that respond to authorizations, identities, and so on but the last I heard it was buggy as shit and had a nasty habit of locking every single door in the game and refusing to open them. Hence, it has not been implemented yet.
>other than that it sounds good, but maybe not enough content?
Yeah I can understand that sentiment. It is a little light on things to do. Personally I just download the new releases and dick around with the new content when they come out then play other games until the next new release comes out.
I wouldn't feel any particular rush to pick the game up if I were you. With $116 million in funding and that number growing all the time there's no reason to try to push people to pick it up. Hell, they made more than $400,000 in a single day when the latest Dragonfly concept sale went up and it only costs $35. Granted, it also went up with a Caterpillar/2 Dragonfly three pack that costs some $300 too and the LTI Caterpillar is highly coveted so I can't give all the credit to the Dragonfly.
I'd say just check the game out at your leisure, watch for people posting about it, check out some gameplay videos on youtube, and don't feel any rush to make a decision.
>>342269451
The low framerate due to network is really a pain in the ass but yeah, it's coming along very nicely.
>>342269003
>>and can people seriously nigger away(steal) my ships?
Right now, yeah but you can just spawn a new one. Later no, you can lock the door.
>other than that it sounds good, but maybe not enough content? of course if I buy it and get bored I can just pick it up a year from now or whatever
Don't buy it to play right now. Buy it to save money because it will be a lot pricier on release. Just hold if you're not sure.
>another question, if I buy one of the basic ships, which one is "better"? or what's the difference?I mean the Mustang Alpha - Aurora ships
They cost the same price so you can just swap one for the other as many times as you want.
use my referal code for free credits : STAR-ZQDH-MWJ7 but don't feel compelled to buy if you can wait.
>>342269753
Only think im trying to figure out is all these "hundreds of dollary-doos worth of ships", can they be purchased with in game credits when the full-game releases? or is there going to be exclusivity?
>>342270094
Can't be purchased once the game launched with real money. Basically no reason to buy them other than further support the game. Nothing is exclusive to real-money pledges.
>>342269693
>>342269753
>>342269873
thank you for the answers (and the code!)
I'll just buy a basic ship+sq42 for ~76
I guess later it would be a lot more then
I'll try it, and see for myself. If it doesn't blow me away I have tons of games to play now, and some other games to look forward to (Maybe No mans sky? didn't preorder, not convinced; and the new Deus Ex)
see you in space bros
>>342270441
See you in space, hopefully.
>>342270094
Buying the expensive ships is just to fund the campaign. All of the ships in the game, from the smallest and cheapest to the largest capital ships will be available in-game without spending more than the purchase price. It's just that acquiring those things in the Alpha is hard and/or impossible due to there being an extremely barebones progression and economy system. If you want to play with other ships ask around. Sometimes the people who have dumped a lot of money into the game will hand their ships over to you. A lot of times people who own bigger ships will want crew members too.
The really big ships will never be for sale. The biggest one they've ever sold was a Javelin Destroyer for some $2,500 and they only sold some 200 of those. Cruisers, Battleships, Carriers, and the Dreadnought will never be sold for real money.
>>342270689
Is that a gigantic railgun in the middle?
>>342266435
What is just as bad is the caustic die hard doubters that spew memes based on wisps of forum speculation. Its one thing to have speculation of SC because of late/buggy release builds or the quality of feedback from CIG. But most of the doubt are from people who don't even own the game, and are trying to make up their own Soap Oprah so they can say "I was there for TOR 2.0"
In all honesty its pretty damn impressive to see how far CIG has become from a cinematic trailer to a international company with hundreds of employees and a persistence universe.
Don't worry, guys. I'm sure the game will come out soon.
>>342270829
I have no idea, but even if it's not rest assured: It has a lot of gigantic railguns all over it.

I hope SC does not fall into the trap ED did.
It's really really boring to just fly to an area where shit is fighting, shoot some things, then eventually head home while the others keep fighting.
The battles feel pointless and never ending.
The only way a battle will be satisfying is if it starts when you arrive, and ends when every enemy or every ally is dead or has retreated.
The whole having battles that go on for days and are just infinite ships killing infinite ships until a timer runs out is really really boring.

I mean if you already spent so much on it you gotta go all the way right?
But really i bet you faggots also spent money on MN9.
>>342267498
It's not teleportation. There are two methods of very fast travel:
1) Quantum Travel. This one is for traveling within a solar system. The rough estimate is 20% the speed of light. If it picks up any kind of obstruction within a certain amount of space around your ship it immediately drops you out of QT. This is how interdiction will work.
2) Jump Travel: This one is for traveling between star systems and essentially functions as Faster Than Light travel. You use pre-existing disturbances in space where wormholes often spontaneously form called Jump Points. A Jump Drive basically forces open a wormhole and you drive into it. Navigating a jump point, especially an uncharted one, is treacherous. Not all ships can use all jump points. Bigger ships need more stable jump points that are well charted.

Still looks like staring at ships in a hangar from those screenshots. No thank you.
>>342276194
Because it's just so hard to wrap your brain around the idea that they might make content like singleplayer campaigns on a game engine they built from the ground up to accommodate a singleplayer campaign.
I'd sure as fuck pay $30 to play a campaign that takes place during the Tevarin Wars, or an add-on that lets me play as a Vanduul.
>>342276319
I would tell you to go look up the shitload of gameplay videos of the alpha on youtube, but believe what you want.

>>342261532
I bought into this back when I didn't think it would meet its funding goal and that there was actually a chance of it being everything they promised. I should sell my ship now. It's not like I give much of a shit about lifetime insurance or whatever the fuck.
>>342274206
It's too bad that ship is useless in a fight. That's the ship that I got with my starter pack. It is beyond worthless. I have an easier time in a base hornet, which is still shit than I do in that.

>>342279563
The Gladius isn't that bad. It's just that ballistic weapons turn every ship into mush.
>>342280681
Its handling got stupidly bad. It drifts horizontally wayyyy too much.
Talking about the Gladius, should I upgrade it to a sabre or warden?
>>342281032
I dunno what do you want to do with it?

I want a

I started with a 325A but I ended up upgrading to a Gladius. Now I don't know. Cutlass would be a good option if it wasn't so fucked. Sabre would be great if it could carry a bit of Cargo but it can't. Freelancer is too expensive for me.
>>342281398
Also I prefer a more skillful and nimble craft to a slower and tankier one.
>>342261532

What do you do in the game? RPG? Space Combat? Space Sim?
>>342282546
Sandbox Space simulator. Cargo, mining, combat, factions, planetary stuff, piracy, capital ship actions, everything.

You need to reflect in this truth.

How many Star Systems do i have access too?
>>342281398
You should have gotten a Buccaneer when you had the chance. Wait until a Drake sale.
>>342263965
I hope this is a joke.
>>342282829
As of right now, 1 with 1 planet, like 8 space stations too and a moon with asteroid belt. Keep in mind the game is in early alpha and considerably expanding. Unless you're sure you want to play the game later, it's safer to just wait. The price will increase though.

You can fly some vanduul refurbished fighters iirc.

Mostly just dogfighting and simple retrieval type stuff for now until they implement the other more complicated stuff. Boarding combat, asteroid mining, planetside mining, cargo hauling, trade, hands-on repairs, research, exploration, and being a glorified airbus are in the works.
CIG is mostly all hands on deck for getting the singleplayer campaign finished so only a fraction of the team are working on the public alpha build. There's some design documentation you might want to read.

>What happened to this, /v/?
still going surprisingly despite how much flak its gotten over the last 3 years of development they still don't have a working model of the game. Just a hangar walk around, some small racing thing and other shit
>>342283234
>Can I join the Vanduul
The only thing that's going to happen if you try to join the Vanduul is they're going to pick your ship apart for parts, then barbecue you and eat you. They view human beings as cattle at best.
>>342283265
It can carry a very small amount of cargo on the outside of the hull. At least that was the plan anyways. The Cutlass will obviously be ideal once they fix the fucking thing though.
>>342283435
Either I get to play an amazing space sim or I get to watch as the most incredible kickstarter implosion story unfolds across the internet. It's a win win.
>>342283645
Oh look, it's somebody who hasn't been up to date about this game since 2014.

Please stop repeating my memes. I know I was wrong, I'm sorry.
For 20€ I can upgrade my Gladius to a Freelancer.
Does the latter handle like a brick?
>>342282469
>it's supposed to be able fly in-atmosphere.
If the propellers can work without air then why do they have air-intakes?
>>342285206
Because they're dual purpose. Ships without intakes don't recharge their "boost" fuel, which is essentially particulates of unrefined hydrogen collected by the intakes while in space.

That is precisely what it all looks like. An indie game in alpha. Like all good indie games released in alpha, it remains therein perpetually.

Considering that Star Citizen is, by definition, an indie game and is currently in Alpha I don't see what point you're trying to make here.
>>342276640

Ho there, space cowboy, that would involve doing some actual work. To say nothing of...

I know you don't, which is why individuals such as yourself should be protected from individuals who do.
>>342261532
Well its making progress and they hired an entirely new team (who are german)
They have been pumping out new content like mad. So we are waiting for the next big updates 2.4 and 2.5. Basic monetary systems, armor, weapons are in and it looks like basic missions are coming as well.
It's the sci-fi equivalent of DayZ.
It's a real bummer but after these travesties people ought to have learned their lesson about early access and kickstarters.
>>342286013
>smug anime reaction image

Considering they sold the entire game, Singleplayer and Persistent Universe alike, for $30 for over three years I don't see why that's so hard for you to process.

Oh look it's that vaporware meme again, despite the fact there is a playable alpha build that is regularly updated with large amounts of content.
>>342271075
too me awhile, but that's a good one
It's sad that some people WANT Star Citizen to fail. If this game succeeds on all fronts, it could be the greatest game yet released. The only reason I am not backing it yet is because I am currently using a toaster.
>>342287019
>durr it's just a meme!
Fucking interstellar marines looks better than SC at this point, m8, and they got considerably less money for their dead project. As a matter of fact, it's alpha has been a lot more mature for years now.
>>342286796
>>342286904
Thats what I wanted. To start with less than others.
All these people buying big ships are ruining the game for themselves. Start with shit all and work your way there.
>>342287303
>If this game succeeds on all fronts, it could be the greatest game yet released.
The most vacuous statement in this thread yet. Wanting something to fail != having a modicum of realism. This project is a fucking joke.

WHY

>it could be the greatest game yet released
That means nothing.
I'll form my opinion on Star Citizen when (or if) it's released because I'm not retarded
>>342287303
People hate it because it made a shitload of money and stands on its own without any kind of outside support. No publisher, no deadlines, no content cuts. It's a self-made game with an industry veteran at its head who has been working movie production for a decade and wanted to come back to what he loves. They can't handle the fact that the developers had to build a studio from the ground up, recode an engine from the ground up, and make all of its content from scratch. They're too used to annual sequel vomit to understand that a videogame isn't made in less than two years.
It's the Donald Trump of videogames.
>>342287575
Dont use words you dont understand, it makes you look stupid.
>>342287609
The game package has value :^)
Who KWA here?

>>342287609
You don't deserve to play shit if you're dumb enough to spend 170 bucks on some pixels
>>342287512
Mediocre but then again it IS a cargo ship
>>342287838
>he doesn't money on pixels
dude, thats literally what video games are. do you just not play video games?
The thing that disappoints me the most about this game is that it is going to fail by being mediocre, which means that we will not get any great reactions from the idiots who backed this. Game releases, it's boring as fuck, most people drop it a month in, nobody talks about it. It would be much more amusing if the whole project got canned, but they'll release some sort of working mess eventually, so meh.
>>342287658
What a fucking tool you are, anon.

You do realize that several projects including Demon Souls failed to come together tell the very end?
>>342288234
You're welcome, under-the-rock-chan.
>>342287498
I watched this project go from 0 to 116 million dollars raised. I watched it go from a trailer to playable content with multiplayer. I watch constant community updates that show progress of the project. The project is not a joke.
>inb4 nit picking details using shit comparisions
If it gets the best parts of EVE, X3AP, ED and Pulsar it will be the shit, especially on a vive or VR. but fuck spending money on a game that isn't even completed yet.

See: Every single AAA game you've played in the last 20 years.
>rather no deadlines met
You obviously have no fucking clue what you're talking about, since "deadlines met" in videogame development directly correlates to "content cut." Just look at MGSV.
>or just no content
You really just love that vaporware meme don't you, no matter how much evidence mounts against your retarded assertions? No matter how many in-game screenshots, webms, and videos get posted you just keep repeating the same shit.
>>342287658
i don't get it, are you trying to use donald trump as the subject of a positive analogy? are you saying being the donal trump of video games is a good thing? you do follow the news right? you don't really like trump do you?

and btw no one dislikes trump because hes a self made success. bill gates has 30x trumps worth and no one hates him. people hate trump because he says absolutely stupid shit every chance he gets and a bunch of right wing republitards are actually buying it. which is the only reason hes won the general for the party of retards.
>backwards retarded party votes for a backwards retarded man
wow
>>342289365
people never hated trump until he tried to run for pres and opened his mouth and let all his retarded opinions be known drumpfcuck.

People hate Trump because they believe clickbait yellow journalism with headlines intended to mislead and garner ad revenue, but whatever you say chief.
>>342289186
A completely inane politician who uses loaded rhetoric to get into office and push through the same policies as everyone else is by no means as bad as dividing the world into "us vs. unbelievers/memesters". I for one am glad that our local SCdrones are just wasting their money on a shit product as opposed to joining an organisation that might actually cause greater social harm to both them and those around them.
>>342289365
It's okay, anon, it's all right as long as you can make yourself believe that you didn't waste all your money. For all it is worth, you are still not as pathetic as the individuals donating to the Breeding Season patreon.

What exactly is it counting? It certainly isn't active development until launch.
>>342290636
That's Derek Smart's game Anon. He's Star Citizen's most vocal critic. The irony being that his shitty game has been in development for twice as long and doesn't even work.
>>342290761
I don't understand what the point of putting other games there is. D3 was not being developed in the same way for 11 years that GW2 was.
I've heard about Derek Smart, but only because SC "investors" can't shut the fuck up about him whenever someone says their favourite project looks kind of shit.
>>342290636
Inception to completion is what it's counting. The point this image is attempting to get across is that
>Games take time to develop
>Some games go through pauses and hold ups
>This is not new
>>342291024
>I don't understand what the point of putting other games there is.
As a comparison of how long a game goes from pre-production to release I assume. Most games aren't even announced into they're well into development. Compare this to Star Citizen, which is crowdfunded and therefore was announced before production on the game even started.
>I've heard about Derek Smart, but only because SC "investors" can't shut the fuck up about him whenever someone says their favourite project looks kind of shit.
You weren't paying a lot of attention then, since Derek Smart spent about a year intentionally trying to sabotage the game up to and including conspiring with a yellow journalist from the Escapist to write a smear peace based on false evidence like claiming unmarked RFID cards and paystubs with pseudonyms on them are evidence that the people she interviewed were former CIG employees.

So if Warcraft 4 every comes out, it will be x - 2003 on that graph? You don't see how that might be just a tad bit retarded?
