What exactly do you do in this game? I'm watching a streamer now and all he does is walk around a space station.
>>125848968

Poo in loo, not on shoe
has anyone crammed an aurora into the back of a freelancer yet
>>125851023
wow, lewdI can't wait to see what ships will fit in other ships.
>>125851023
I'd assume a Merlin could fit.
I want my space delivery van with it's comfy unobstructed giant canopy be flyable...
>>125851023
Should be possible now the Fatlancer is bigger
>>125851601
>dat massive cross section doe
>>125851659
Yes, that's why the fighty version makes me a bit nervous. But the hauler should be a straight upgrade from an Aurora.
Also, that view will be amazing.
So it seems like the game is a little more than a bunch of disconnected tech demos now, is that fair to say?
And how playable is it right now if I just want to get good at flying around, maybe look at some stuff / shoot some stuff, and fool around with a friend (ideally as a crew member of his ship)?
so are we currently looking at a 2018 release date?
>>125851873
>>125851601
I got the research variant. I really like the looks of it, don't get why some people say it's ugly.
Plus, I got the hard on for that rotation shtick.
>>125852032
it just became a series of connected tech demos anon. all that stuff is possible right now in the large world area.
>>125852032
It's a few hours worth of content at this stage. Some very simple missions and a couple of stations to explore. Multicrew works now, but they're still getting the actual grouping mechanics in place.
And the game actually is getting closer to all the disconnected tech demos actually being connected. Next two patches will theoretically add another area to explore plus actual working shops and npcs
>>125851873
>Yes, that's why the fighty version makes me a bit nervous
become ace pilot. never get hit.
but really though senpai, isn't it supposed to have a pretty fatty ass shield grid + XENOMANUEVERING or some shit?
Also, it should still be able to mount S3's on the wingtips for maximum democracy as per the old Q&A's.
>>125852896
It'll probably be a stronger Aurora LN. Slow, durable, with decent agility. Plus a crap ton of S1 missiles and a couple of fixed S3's and fixed S1 guns. If it's acceleration is good that could be a great mix, even with the giant target wings.
>>125853448
>It'll probably be a stronger Aurora LN. Slow, durable, with decent agility.
All those things minus the slow part.
Well, slow-er.
It's supposed to be faster than Aurora but not as fast as Mustangs.
>>125853448
>giant target wings.
lmao just roll
Okay, no, there's is no way I can stand flying with this mother fucking tiny ass window. It took me several seconds just to find a big ass space station again after I got turned around, thanks to the tiny fucking view slit. And the lack of a radar globe isn't helping either. I played for only 15 mins and I already have material for at least three bug reports.
>>125853919
>It's supposed to be faster than Aurora but not as fast as Mustangs
They're both going about the same speed on live. And the Delta is bugged on the ptu and only going 155m's right now.
>>125854553
I think it looks really cool
reminds me of airliners
>>125854647
Oh well, as long as it goes 200m/s or higher it's acceptable.
>>125854553
>small windows
Fully encased coffin 360-degree displays when
>>125854090
for real though this has the potential to be a neat unique aspect of the reliant. A slowish bulky ship that none-the-less can just turn 90 degrees in any direction to temporarily avoid fire.
>>125854553
That's part of the charm.
>>125855005
>>125854090
>spinning is actually a good trick
>>125854929
>Fully encased coffin 360-degree displays when

faggots won't allow it because they think it somehow takes away from the coolness of the ship.
you know what's cool? not having to use a tiny viewport or having to work in an area where the only thing separating you from the vacuum is a bunch of glass
>>125855694
>you know what's cool?
Usually the opposite of what you think is cool.
I'm glad you're getting triggered though. Stay mad faggot.
>>125855694
go play rogue squadron, loser
and it's not glass. It's space glass and it's just as strong as the most advanced alloys
>>125855694
>muh immersion
Suck to be you eh? I suggest a refund.
>>125851154
There's a youtube video of it. You can get the cockpit in but the wings are too wide.
>>125855816
>It's space glass and it's just as strong as the most advanced alloys
why not make the entire front end out of it for more viewspace then?
>>125855905
it's very expensive
and while it's just as strong against weapons it requires additional structural support
>>125855905
I don't think Sci-Fi games are for you.
>>125856043
>ships too expensive for the mighty Concierge whales
Surely you jest.
>>125854553
>tiny ass window
>its %99 on the screen
also invest money in to a Head Tracker
>>125856048
On the contrary, they're probably not for you.
Why set it in space if you're not going to put future tech, nano-bots and star trek sci-fi bullshit working everywhere in every facet of society? All that shit gets it's roots from postulating on the science of today for the world of tomorrow.
I want to control a cloud of nano-machines with my fucking cerebral cortex, release them from my ship equipped with thermoptic camo, and have them EAT enemy ships or hijack their computer systems so they work as puppets.
You just seem to want WW2 with lasers and dumb fucking bullshit like holograms.
>>125856872
careful your autism is showing again
>>125856872
that sound retarded
if you go full "nanomachines" then it ends up being indistinguishable from Naruto

Technology of a sufficient level is indistinguishable from magic, anon. Doesn't mean there still aren't counters to it.
>>125856872
you also want auto-aim and robot controlled ships cuz futuristic technologies?
>>125857442
and sufficiently realistic games become are not fun
>>125856872
>I want to control a cloud of nano-machines with my fucking cerebral cortex, release them from my ship equipped with thermoptic camo, and have them EAT enemy ships or hijack their computer systems so they work as puppets.
>>125857721

rogue system is more realistic like you're saying and it takes like 20 minutes to dock and is way too hard
Anyone gonna upload the latest Jump Point?

Then why are you in a general for a game that doesn't have any of those things?

>>125857960
Remember when the Constellation was listed as Space Superiority?
>>125857960
I didn't know there were even gun mounts there. are there any fighters that can equip em?
>>125858081
>space superiority
lel, it sold ships didn't it?
To be fair, a half decent Connie pilot can still BTFO most average pilots with Quad-S4 due to gimbals.
Hardly Superiority though. A GOOD ace is terrifying.

>>125859502
git gud
>>125859502
the sync is absolutely abysmal right now
I was dog fighting with some pooraura and i had an avenger, i was way more agile and strafing around him , on my screen hes shooting to my left and im hitting him on my screen what feels like an eternity, then i start getting damage but no indications like my shield flashing and what not even though im getting hit in the front apparently. Dont even bother with pvp at this stage unless you're a dick like me and shoot powered off ships and leave people stranded
Do the Avenger's default wing guns actually do anything yet?
>>125859992
shuts down system temporarily but its so short its impractical.
the whole point is for bounty hunters taking keks in alive. The titan variant comes with 007bulldog repeaters since its a hauler multirole varient
>>125851626
This is the freelancer right? do I need to buy that smaller ship also to do that or what?
And any idea when that'll be functional for the PTU?
so this or elite dangerous?
>>125860497
Neither.
Just wait for this to come out or ED to not cost you 120+ dollars
>>125860497
in 5 years which one will we be playing?
>>125860497
This or rebel Galaxy
You have no reason to interact with anyone in elite at all. It even has an "offline" mode just for people trading to hide from any real players, even though you can't play the game without an Internet connection, because they don't want anyone being able to pirate it and realize how bad it is instead of buying it
>>125860609
And rebel Galaxy cut out all the dumb autismal unnecessary tedious crap elite has like docking
>>125860243
Do they even drain shields faster or anything?
They feel like dead weight because they don't seem to stop the ship and they don't do any damage, so why even have them when the nosegun is the only weapon that works
>>125851601
with the way they designed every cockpit I'm probably going to end up flying something that doesn't look like the obstructed shit they usually come up with regardless of the utility of the ship. For fucks sake.
>>125851601
1 seat only? Which version is it?
aren't shield generators supposed to absorb lasers and other energy based/electronic weapons? Why the fuck doesn't each ship just mount mechanical turrets with real bullets? How the fuck is an energy shield going to stop bullets?
>>125860609
Can I pirate star citizen and play it to see what its like?
>>125854553
This is my main concern.
>>125860697
they do, they shut down the shields and then the shields have to reboot and charge up which can take a while if you dont have power directed to group 2. Thats probably the only practical use of the emp cannons currently
>>125860609
What's with this rebel galaxy shilling/meme?
>>125860848
There are free weekends all the time, probably one coming soon.
these fucking people i swear to god
croberts could shit on a can and they'd call it perfect
>>125860957
I'll have to try them more. I alwqys just used the nosegun because it was the only thing that seemed to have any of effect
>>125862708
You don't have to go that far to find delusional retards, see >>125855075 >>125856262
>>125863015
but they're just joking, r-right
>>125862708
But they are right. It's meant to emulate something like a cube van, high capacity but low visibility. Get used to it; the connie and retaliator are outliers. For non combat ships this size and up that kind of visibility will be common.
>>125863049
>>125863091
I don't think so, anon, I don't think so.
https://youtu.be/qlqTjEHzFAY
Watching this makes me fucking nauseous. What were they thinking? Why would they make visibility so ridiculously limited?
I was going to trade my Super Hornet for a Freelancer but fuck that.
>>125863091
Would be completely retarded to have an entire glass cockpit/bridge on a "cheap" vessel.
>>125863091
I really hope you're wrong. I'm mostly interested in bigger ships but if this isn't the exception this game is going to suck for me.
Look at the Hauler in Elite Dangerous, it's perfectly fine.
>>125863157
Sure, but no need to go full retard on it either. The lancer would be fine if the chair was moved forward, the 50m of dashboard is just because croberts is dum
The freelancer isn't flyable in the PTU yet is it?
And how do I downgrade my ship into two smaller ones, I only have four months of insurance but I guess I don't wanna lose it, will I lose anything if I exchange all this for store credits and buy other ships or another package?
>>125863127
Because it's fucking realistic. I bet you wish guns never needed to be reloaded because it's 'too annoying'.
>>125856043
>it's very expensive
That's why they covered the Aurora in it, right?
>>125863091
well sure, but at least have some cameras located on the sides of the ship that you can access from the main panel. Some trucks have side-mounted cameras to improve the ability to park and navigate narrow corridors. Stuff like this would also add some increased depth for space combat because attackers could use EMP bombs to disable the cameras of larger ships and limit their range of vision.
How do I get out of my seat after I landed my constellation?
I'm always stuck as soon as I sit down.
>>125863285
you're just trolling, right? right?
please be, i can never know when it comes to sc aspies

>>125863285
here's a cockpit of a C-5
notice the nice large windows and the lack of 40 acres of dashboard between the pilot and the windows?
that's because pilots need to see to be able to fly the fucking plane
>>125863381
ctrl+f
>>125863212
Actually, I think I am wrong. The freelancer stands out. Other large ships will have difficulty due to the bulk that's out of sight, but not because of cockpit visibility.
>>125863285
It's not realistic, you drooling mouthbreather, in a van or truck it doesn't matter, because you're moving in 2 dimensions, so as long as the horizontal axis is clear, you're good to go, but in a 3 dimensional scenario, with 6 axis of freedom, where the up and down are as important if not more, the freelancer cockpit is a fucking nonsense.
>>125863481
You can use third person unless you're trying to shoot somebody at the same time
So I haven't bought a thing in this game yet. What's got everyone worked up? I'm interested in the game, absolutely, but I can't afford vaporware.
>>125863621
Because that sure is realistic and immersive.
>>125854553
I guarantee all those switches and knobs on the dash don't do a goddamn thing. Immersion or not, it's pretty fucking retarded having all that shit if it's not going to be used.Also, my fucking stupid-ass got the Freelancer MIS. I guess it's time to melt that "military" ship and its small ass wsindow REAL QUICK
Poor Pleb here. Anyone have a sub link to the new JP that just came out?
Can someone link me to the expanse episode 2 on youtube? German youtube doesn't let me search for them.
>>125863716
you can get a Super Hornet for free by trading your lancer in, and if they ever fix it you can do it again
>>125863393
I think you should go back to wow if you want hand holding and casual gameplay.
>>125863481
up and down exists in 2 dimensions; 3d adds depth
>>125863670
You can always get it when it finally releases, but for a higher price.
Watch 2.0 videos or wait for a free weekend.
Is it good enough to spend whatever the cheapest package costs? Get it.
It's not enough? Wait until it is good/safe enough for you.
>They aren't intakes
CIG..
CIG fucking pls stop
You've even put winglet greeble in front of them.
>>125863817
Holy shit, I think you're actually retarded! I'll do my best then, it depends on which 2 dimensions you pick, you can pick the whole horizontal plane, without up and down and it would be 2 dimensions, the "depth" would be the forward-backward axis.

>>125864201
Ok, but those are not winglets.

>>125864307
I didn't even know they were a real thing, I was just making up a word because they kind of look like they're meant to be small parts of the lifting body but aren't.
The more you know
>>125864012
> you can pick the whole horizontal plane, without up and down and it would be 2 dimensions
one plane is one dimension
>>125864197
depends on your reference. If I throw a ball and it rotates in the air, I'm not suddenly going to say that gravity is now exerting a horizontal force
Look, kiddies, I can school you in physics all day long, but we're getting side-tracked. SC is about immersion without compromises even if, perhaps, realism is a little too hard for you. Real life is tough.
>>125864379
unlike star citizen ships, modern planes can actually fly by their instrumentation.
>>125864379
The fact that the Freelancer cockpit is similar to an aircraft that is automatic and goes in a straight line for 95% of its flight, doesn't have to manouver or be in combat, and regularly flies IFR without the pilot ever looking out the windows, is a problem in itself, anon.
>>125864624
Oh now real planes don't actually need windows? Which is it anon? Here's a B2 cockpit.
>>125864832
see
>>125864697
You can fly a B-2 with the windows blacked out, and its an aircraft not designed to manouver or engage in combat, ever.
>b-but the freelancer isn't designed for combat, either!
rear turret, MIS variant, and the armament say otherwise. The current FL cockpit looks acceptable if it was for a HULL series.
Is there any dank secret to increasing performance?
I'm getting sub-30 all the way down to sub-10 on a 2500k+7970ghz at low at 1280x768.
I mean, I knew this game wasn't optimized but fuck.
I'm already using the stability .cfg
>>125864939
The turrets and armaments on the B2 don't say the same? A bomber not meant for combat, or evasive maneuvers. The MIS was a poorly thought out Ben jew, the freelancer is not a combat ship. Deal with it.
>>125864992
yeah, going to best buy and buying a better computer
>>125865219
>The turrets and armaments on the B2 don't say the same?
Considering they don't exist, no.
and yes, the Freelancer is designed to be able to engage in combat, or its entirely pointless as a ship. 'deal with it'

Oh God, you ARE a retard, but one of those that think themselves intelligent, please get a name or a tripcode, I find your kind so amusing.
>>125865574
That is the origianl concept for teh Freelancer cockpit.
They moved teh retarded struts away because people (correctly) pointed out that they blocked the view.
Now they re-do it, and add a few square miles of grey dashboard so you can't see shit again.
>>125865294
My mistake, I was thinking of the B52, which also has a tail gun. And a shitty cockpit view.
>>125865386
So the aurora and reliant are both combat ships too? Given similar armaments, and despite also being sold as cargo haulers. One might say the cockpit design disagrees with you :^)
>>125865643

>>125866092

They're multiroles, yes. They're designed to be able to engage in combat.

Oh God, I'm dying in here, please don't leave...
Hey guys, can we keep him as a pet?
>>125866164
The aurora is trash in combat and everyone knows the reliant will be too, because they're NOT designed for it, CIG just slapped some more dakka on them for shekels and to make them a little better cannon fodder in AC. They'll never be true competitors in a fight, they weren't designed for it.and neither was the freelancer.
>>125866410
https://youtu.be/opMGRIpUbO8?t=16
You're just embarassing yourself to the point of "I'm always going to be correct and the devs will never be!"
For anyone wondering about the Sabre:
In PTU it currently has the following weapon slots:
Right Wing Class 1 Slot
>Size 2-4
>Turret, Gun
Left Wing Class 1 Slot
>Size 2-4
>Turret, Gun
Nose Slot
>Size 2-3
>Turret
Nose Slot
>Size 2-3
>Turret
This means that the wing slots can be:
Size 1-3 Gimballed
Size 2-4 Fixed
But the nose slots must be gimballed, like the Avenger or Gladius, as:
Size 1-2 Gimballed
It does not really look like a Size 4 gun would fit in the wing, but I don't have one to test it with.
The missile bays, powerplant, engines and shields are not visible on the holotable yet.
>>125866410
where the fuck have you been? the LN is still a fucking monster in a dogfight.
the freelancer, constellation, reliant and aurora are all multi-role ships. this means to secure those peaceful trade runs they prepare for fucking war.
>>125842461
maybe its a fucking design decision to not make this thing carry 100 fighters while two people stay on the ship to keep it running and make it OP as hell you dumb fag
>>125866626
>Class 1 Slot
Thats.. not a thing, but thanks
>>125856872
a-are you retarded?
you must be genuinely retarded holy shit
>>125866665
or maybe it's just bad design. I'd be all for capital ships operating like that with NPC crew filling in the spaces when people aren't able. It's a capital ship, it's a mobile projection of an empire's power. It should house the lion's share of a fleet.
>>125866738
That's the name it has in the holotable.
>>125866841
or maybe its a money decision, to fucking redesign the whole ship from scratch would cost another 100k + 6 months work
idk dude, design is so subjective, some people love the helvetica swiss style posters, some really dig expressionistic shit, that i cant stand, not every single ship or detail must be to your liking
some people like BMWs some like Fords
>>125863785
>>125864314
Fuck it, I felt nice and gave then 5 more bucks and got me the best ship. Time to admire the LTI Sabre.
>>125866947
Some people like shit, some people don't
>>125863906
>>125864201
>>125864307
So wait, do you guys think the Sabre will be able to remove the two gimballed size-2 guns for fixed size-3? I heard somewhere that it will be capable of 4 fixed size 3.
Also, is it 6 size 2 missiles, or 12 as the total?
>>125867390
The missile count is unknown, the whole missile hardpoint size system is completely fucked, and they said you can mount loads of S1s or a few large missiles in there.
4 fixed S3 seems possible.
Like that anon said, current the hardpoint support S4s, but its unlikely some of them even physically fit
>>125867382
>hurrrr theUS carrier Nimitz class is so retarded, these fucking idiots have a radio pole sticking up right against the bridge window HOLY SHIT ITS LITERALLY SHIT WHY DONT THEY SCRAP THIS SHITTY CARRIER HURRRRR
>Nimitz class has been introduced in the 70s and the design and development state was probably even ealier
oh wow some shitty old spaceship probably uses some old ass tech and design, im so suprised
>>125866956
Now that the wing slots have been down-sized a [Super] Hornet can offer:
>3F/3F or 2G/2G on the wings
>4G or 2G/2G on the turret
>3F or 2G or 1G/1G on the nose
>8 x S1 missiles
Whereas the Sabre has:
>4F/4F or 3G/3G on the wings
>2G/2G on the nose
>6 x S2 missiles
This feels pretty fair to me, but as it stands the Sabre could run two ballistic Size 3 guns on gimbals, which would be terrifying.
>>125867390
>>125867515
As the Sabre is in the holotable right now (2.1 PTU) 4 x Size 3 Fixed is not possible.
This is because the nose slots are Size 2-3 but they can only accept mounts, not actual guns. So once you put your Size 3 gimbal in there you are left with a slot for a Size 2 gun.
It is possible however to put Size 4 Fixed guns in the wing slots.
>>125867706
That makes no fucking sense.
CIG really needs to stop being so inconsistent.
>>125867706
I love this balancing. As long as the Sabre is a bit faster than the Hornet, but make it less tanky, I think we can settle the masses.
>tfw stealing people's ships and crashing them into other people's ships
glorius
>>125867958
You want some attention? Here's some attention.
>>125848968
It's currently a tech demo. There is no game, yet.
>>125866947
Visibility isn't subjective
Freelancer is worse than before, comparing pilot seat views you can't see shit below
>>125868138
visibility in a big ass truck is terrible too, i dont get what you re trying to say
>>125868120
Not really.
It's the most fun the be had with the game as is.
>>125868138
GIT GUD
Do all ships need to be so casual that you have to sit in in the middle of glass bubble in order to see everything? Do you even play video games?
>>125867829
It's working the same way that the Gladius and Avenger work.
This is also consistent with what is on the Ship Stats page.
If I were CIG I wouldn't really want four Size 3 ballistic guns on any single seat fighter, but who knows. They might change it.
>>125867917
There is too much up in the air right now (flight/gunnery/missiles/stealth) to really consider balance, but I think they're on the right track.
>>125868195
It's not really, you see over stuff and have mirrors.
Even a 747 you can see stuff over 40 degrees below horizontal, new freelancer can't see more than 10.
Makes good landing a pain.
>>125868307
You don't need the visiblity for landing, just use the landing system.
>>125868195
Not anyone you're talking to, but you actually have much better view in front of you in a real life truck, and mirrors let you have full control over your sides, except for a certain blindzone on the right. I know what i'm talking about when it comes to ground trucking.
While i don't mind a little hindered view, the freelancer view is just too much immersion. Transport ships in particular should have the best landing view of all the ships, since it's a part of their job to land and take off. While i find the asymmetrical seating and dashboard pretty nice over all, having a literal mailbox as your window is both unrealistic (this is not a 747) and makes everything less fun.
But i don't even have a freelancer so idgaf.
>>125868805
only works at designated pads, friendo. not every landing you make is going to be at one
>>125868959
And those rarer "off-road" landings will be more challenging. Is this not a good thing?
>>125869062
You can't see anything anon. Nothing. You're landing blindly. That's annoying, not challenging.
>>125868295
isent the sabre supposed to be light armoured as fuck? maybe the big guns are to compensate for it being a fragile fighter?
>>125866626
What are the hardpoints on a hornet in comparison?
>>125869905
aren't they the same? the hornet has the capacity, you just dont get the gear like a super shitter does. Right?
>>125869983
Shitter's hornet gets one bigger powerplant slot with its second seat
Otherwise it's just better components
>>125867706

>it has 4x S3 hardpoints so you can rock 4x fixed S3’s or 4x gimballed S2’s(or a mix of both) if you desire
The size of the ship didn't really change, so assuming that it can mount S4s based on PTU stats somebody just slapped on there is pretty stupid desu.
>>125869905
Hornet has 2 S3 wing slots, 2 S2 on the upper turret and 2 S1 on the lower turret. Nose turret can be replaced by a S3 fixed, upper turret by a S4 fixed.
>Make a detailed universe focused on fidelity
>Cover it up with mandatory helmets, and tiny cockpit windows
Chris has George Lucas syndrome.
>>125870134
The turret itself has a size which anything that uses the right amount of size slots can fit into, not just 2 x S2 or 1 x S4, if we're talking technicalities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlqTjEHzFAY
Doesn't it look IMMERSIVE and REALISTIC?!
>>125869226
It's not fucking sealed off, you can still see out the window. You approach the area you want to land in, tilt the nose down and look at the landing zone and then use that information to fly yourself in. Done it several times in other video games where you can't see below the dashboard
>>125870292
It makes me upset that we will never get a perfect space sim.
Both E;D and SC fail in some aspect.
Need a competent company like CCP to take up the mantle.
>>125870378
E:D fails at basically everything, SC fails at WiP cockpit design
I think I know which one I'm more hopeful for.
>>125869905
See >>125867706 for comparison.
Hornet vs Sabre in terms of firepower is going to come down to how well the S2/S3/S4 guns are balanced.
>>125869983
AFAIK Hornet and Super Hornet are the same weapon-wise, the military Hornet however might have bigger wing slots.
>>125869862
The idea is that it's lightly armoured and has stealth/speed to counter that.
I think it will have low-power, low-signature shields as standard, but you'll be able to sacrifice some stealth for better shields.
I hope it is fast, because the vertical cross-section is fucking huge.
>>125870134
The Q&A, the ship stats and the actual ship in the PTU are all different.
Everyone can see the website but not everyone can see the PTU, which is why I put it here.
The PTU loadout, to me at least, makes a lot of sense to balance the Sabre against similar ships.
>>125870378
>competent company
>like CCP
>>125870814
Maybe I should have said old CCP.
I don't think any of the original guys actually work there anymore.
>>125870292
>a ship thats meant to fly a straight line from A to B in dark space is now being absused to fly a race in atmosphere

Where is it senpai? And where is My ORC Mk9 armor?
>>125870903
>a ship thats meant to fly a straight line from A to B in dark space
That would be the HULL series, anon. If you're flying your Freelancer as a trucker that avoids any and call combat, you're being inefficient as fuck.
one of you subscriber cucks post the lastest jumpoint thanks
God this view is terrible.
At the very least they should cut away where I've drawn in red, because blocking view as close to the middle as they are is disgusting
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/PZbmzO1.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>125871245
or just eliminate the grey soccer pitch they put between the pilot and the window. the window itself is actually quite large but you sit too far away from it.
>implying freespace didn't have the best cockpit designs ever
>>125870963
right because we all know how the gameplay is gonna turn out in the release version
>>125871472
Its basic logic.
The least armed, highest-capacity ship is your best choice if you're not getting into a fight, taking safe systems or have an escort that does the fighting for you.
If you're hauling shit in a Freelancer its because you're trading lower capacity for better fighting ability, to make it through less safe systems, where you either get there faster or get a better payout per ton.
Anything else is just moronic, because the HULL is straight up better than anything else if you're not getting into a fight.
>mfw cruising along with my saniclancer
Is there anything this based ship cannot do?
Also, Cutlassfags on suicide watch. Goddamn, i remember two years back when they were at the height of their delusions with classics like "It's made to bust up an escort and disable a transport! It'll destroy a lone Freelancer no problem!!!"
why doesnt sean just fucking shave his head, is he really running around with a huge bald spot on his head?
>>125871887
>Is there anything this based ship cannot do?
See shit hat is a tiny bit above or below you, and not having a few hectars of grey plastic in view at all times.
>>125871887
A Cutlass will destroy a lone freelancer though.
How can you kill that which you cannot see?
>>125872328
Nah, Ben straight-up said a Cutlass wouldn't be able to take on a Freelancer alone.
Because apparently "fuck the Cutlass" is a design decision
>>125872417
That wasn't Ben who said that.
I believe it was Jcrewe, it also was just theorycrafting before the Freelancer was flyable.
>>125872498
Might be mistaken, but its not really 'theorycrafting' if its said by a Dev. If they're intending to balance it to align with that, its not like they don't have omnipotence to do so.
>>125872417
>>125872498
>20 years before release
everything is set in S T O N E
>>125872573
yup just like they totally intended the starfarer and freelancer to be so big in the end it was all intentional to make them small at first just because
>>125872668
The comment was after all the reworks. It was like last month.
Reliant flyable when?
Was there even a sale during the livestream?
I know there was the idris/javelins but I saw nothing else.
I swear ben mentioned something about everything that was on sale during the Anniversary coming back.
I saw nothing on the store page to indicate anything.
>>125872930
Around chrismas time all the limited stuff will go on sale
>>125873278
oh really? nice I wanted to pick up a warlock
>>125873324
Day after Chris mas I'm fairly sure was said
Aside from the procedural landing shit, was there anything cool in the livestream that I should see? Can't be bothered to watch it all for just some concept slideshows or that trailer again.
>>125873614
Tours of the freelancer and star fart sniffer, showed some work on idris/javelin.
Chris tried to 2.0, crashed shortly before doing something neat
>>125873850
Might look up those ships then, but at this point I'm not really interested in seeing more ships. More interested in tech.
Freelancer seems fantastic :3
>>125874021
best grey dashboard in SC
>>125874362
Its a fatass small ship mainly for carrying shit. Little truck. Comfyness is the point.
>>125874471
>Little
Did you see how mad chris got?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=307&v=cTdchKUqUFY
>>125874471
Except the planned HULLs which are much more of a dedicated transport have far better visibility planned.
Your point is dumb. The freelancer visibility is simply terrible
>>125874873
Nah. They'll probably use the style kitbash technique used on Aegis ships to have the HULL cockpits be very similar.
>>125874796
Good. He cares about his game.
>>125875220
derek smart touted how mad croberts got.
>>125875624
Who cares
>>125875624
And I've never seen Derek smart get mad about poor quality in his game. He thinks his shit don't stink.
S-should I ccu my Aquila to a Carrack senpai?
>>125874954
Doesn't change the fact that you can't see shit out of the Freelancer.
The biggest problem is that half your screen is GREY DASHBOARD, which makes the holoscreens difficult to see and serves no purpose except to move you away from a seating position where you might actually see something.
>>125875624
Chris got frustrated at his game malfunctioning. Derek gets mad at people trying to tell him his game is malfunctioning.
>>125876038
Maybe, the Carrack will need a larger crew. If your ok with that then yes it a lovely ship
tfw you bought a caterpillar in the concept sale because you liked it the best of all the ships and its still not even hangar ready, but other ships have come out after and are flyable
>>125876038
When the carrack becomes available there won't be ccu anymore.
>>125870957
>ORC Mk9 armor
>Implying it isn't entirely forgotten because Chris is making more ships.
>>125877254
Next week we are getting an all ships sale, Carrack will be available for CCU, no?
>>125872032
why don't you shut the fuck up and worry about your own insecurities you stupid judgemental faggot?
>>125877882
So what's it like having a bald spot that big, Sean?
>>125877882
wow okay sean
>>125876064
you can quit trying to force your shitty meme now
>>125877882
just shave your head dude, you will look handsome as fuck
>>125877942
>>125877972
You all are so predictable, it's like you have no mind of your own.
>>125878273
whoa...soo..this is the..power of..shitposting
>>125878027
>>125878027
The Freelancer's front visibility is absolutely horrible.
I got the Freelancer pack years ago when it was first available and I haven't been melting / unmelting / buying more ships. But after seeing the view out of the cockpit, I'm gonna swap my pledge if that's how it's gonna be.
>>125877408
resbond pls
>>125877408
Actually with the new system it's possible.
My mistake.
>>125878798
I think he's saying by the time the Carrack is flight ready selling ships won't be a thing anymore. So get it while it lasts.
>>125878752
Alright sound good, now stop fucking whining about it. It's a fucking hauler not a goddamn fighter.
>>125879809
>Stop complaining about things that are wrong, why did they have to change the Hornet cockpit, everything cig does is right, reeeee
>>125880048
They just refactored it a third fucking time, move on faggot, it won't change.
>>125879809
"Stop complaining about things that are bad."
If you made a truck with a window like that in real life, you would get fired. Even the much larger Constellation, which is not expected to land on small pads (like the Lancer) has significantly better visibility out of the pilot's seat.
I don't even understand the thought process that leads someone to defend something this stupid.
