And Still, the whole vandull aesthetic of skeletal with edges is garbage for that damage shader they made and the ranges you shoot them from.

Biggest ripoff in the crowdfunded game scene ever.

Let me tell you something, and I'll post the ToS if you are too crippled to find it. When you give them money, you are not "buying" a spaceship. You are not even "buying" a game. You are giving this company a "pledge", or gift, so they can build a game. You agree they may not deliver what they promise, and you agree they may not deliver a final product at all. You agree you cannot get a refund after 14 days.

The fucking thing will be, like, 30 bucks if/when it ever does release. Don't give them money now when you have no guarantees. It's stupid.

>>135538729
>The fucking thing will be, like, 30 bucks if/when it ever does release

they've already sold it at that price. And before you would get both SC and SQ42 for $45. Now they cost that much each. Only problem with this game is that it's taking years to make.

How many years before SC actually starts to look shitty and outdated and people lose interest? Or will cryengine updates make it look better?

The limiting factor is design. Using the Planetary scale does not fit the game's planned combat ranges, navigation, or physics.

Probably will just be wasted with autopiloted high speed cruise.

Shit's getting physically disappointing, with landing being automated by default because IFCS is twitchy shit.
>>
The sale of the Vanduul ships is stupid, and I don't quite know how people cope with it.

>oh, it's just a clone made by Esperia. It's not a REAL vanduul ship... the guns, cockpit, frame, missiles, and armor are all the exact same thing as the Vanduuls using the exact same game files as the Vanduul, but our new lore solves that as it being made based on new discoveries from the UEE military (...)

It's fucking stupid. Expect F8 lightning/Vanduul bomber sale in no time. They'll just say "The F8 lightning are just extra made from the factory of a overloaded order/the bomber was found and replicated by Esperia! Totally not us going back on our word for more money"
>>
>>135545725
They are in too deep to care
>>
>>135545354
If I remember correctly the plan was something along the lines of 'you can land wherever you want on uninhabited planets etc. but if there's some sort of traffic control you need to request permission and they'll assign you an approach corridor which you have to follow and IFCS takes over the landing if you leave it'.
No idea how they plan to deal with the physics though.
>>
>>135546820
Maybe you'll be able to click on a spot to autofly at

Then in theory you can fly at "cruise" speed to a different spot

Some you guys don't, which is understandable, but I still have hope that they can pull this off. It will take them until 2018 to make it all, but god damn if it's even half as good as described I would love it. Hopefully 2.3 has another increase in player count to something like 32. Or rather a big optimization pass to allow more than 45fps.

I can't give up hope yet

>>135548962
They'll technically make it, but it'll handle like as badly as a modern need for speed, graphics won't be very impressive either, and economy fucked over by fleet orgs.
>>
>>135549617
>economy fucked ouver by fleet orgs
Confirmed for not knowing how it will work in SC. Players won't be able to influence the economy that much, and this is to avoid the EVE situation where massive groups run the show. They'll have advantages, obviously, but it won't be at that scale since it can ruin the gameplay.

In Null-sec/pirate areas? Team or die.

UE4 overall has better base tools. It has better AA than CE, more support from devs, better particle systems, and I think it generally looks better than CE. I also believe it would have been better able to support a game like SC than CE would have, because CE has given the devs of the game so much trouble over the few years it's been.

Nah. There was no way he could have known UE4 was going to be released so soon or that it would actually be bretty good. Not with the announcements he had already made years before that point. And you can't just sit around the office, doing nothing waiting for something to drop into your lap. You've gotta do something, even if that means gutting an old engine and turning it into Frankenstein's Monster.

I agree, UE4 would probably have been a better objective choice, buy that's like denigrating the Germans for not making Stg. 44s standard issue in 1939.

If it does crowdfunded games in general will take a hit.

Cringey speech but whatever works honestly.

Having the corvette be as small as 100 - 110 meters makes it basically the optimal main ship for groups of 12 fighters to be commanded from like in those videos, since it'll be maneuverable and shit. Although first we need to see large multicrew ships work, so Starfarer next

They have no reason to stop if those retards keep giving them money.

I thought the madness would subside with the delays, the grey market being undercut and oversaturated. And yet there are shmucks ready to open their wallet again and again.

I fear Star Citizen has reached that critical mass where its presence sustains a cycle of new customers who mature to whales. Every year new suckers are buying a copy and eventually a fleet from belief in the dream.

>but those are pledges to support game development
At this point it's pretty clear that they aren't just going to bag the cash and run off to some carribean island, so they might as well keep making money. The ships are going to get built anyway, and if sales might actually enable them to do more, good.

Play the game however the fuck I feel instead of grinding newfag missions in my poorora until I get enough credits to do what I actually want to do in a real ship.

It's not an RPG, ships have roles, if you want to mine you need a mining ship, if you want to chart the edges of systems you need a ship with enough gas to get out there and wander around for a while without heading back to refuel.

If you wanna do Org level territory shenanigans you need either a cap ship or a relevant support vessel. I don't intend to spend two weeks flying around in a space sperm for no reason other than to appease some sort of "progression" autism.

When people finally realize that the only way of balancing missiles is making them not simple F&F, anon. SACLOS by your turret gunner or somesuch.

Or at the very least, far harder to lock, using better signature mechanics.
>>
>>135594081
True, but for some reason the concept of missiles not being 'hurr lock on and fire' and having some sort of laser/TV guided projectile or something else that requires maintaining lock seems to be lost on most of the community. This also applies to having missiles with more range than 5-10km.
>muh ww2 in spess
>go play eve if you want to shoot at red dots from a distance
>>
>>135594569
Well, Retaliator missiles can lock at 14km, so thats something.

I think they're just holding off on the range until they get some balance in.

Not like half the missiles hit stationary targets, can't believe thats actually intentional.
>>
>>135594625
Missiles seem to work in AC, at least somewhat. They tend to hit Vanduul.

They're just extremely broken on the Crusader map and fly off in random directions and/or explode.

>>135595670
I have never owned a Vanduul ship but I think its pretty shitty of them to devalue and demean owning one from a rarity perspective.

Preferably I wouldn't have anyone own them; make them a skill-based challenge to aquire.
>>
>>135595847
Same here anon. They're fucking stupid. Vanduul lore says they self destruct rather than be boarded o anything like that. They've essentially locked off their entire fleet for no reason. Well, it might be for them to sell them all eventually. I would have loved to be in a vanduul capturing org, making profit off selling them in the game somehow, but that won't happen.
>>
>>135596140
>for no reason

Nope, for one reason: to sell for hundreds of dollara despite no tactical value

Limit the sale to 1000, they could sell the fighter for $500 and make half a million dollars in an hour.

150 I understand and I would've upgraded to; that was my initial price point. But I'm guessing the price is higher than the Xi'an Scout with the same effectiveness because we aren't at war with the Xi'an, but we are with the Vanduul.

>If the Blade is actually true to stats, it'll be insane
For what purpose? Yes, it might weigh less, but it's still just a Gladius with less missiles and really not worth that much. Apart from that, it's likely that it can't even be upgraded properly because Vanduul ships aren't designed to fit human component sizes. Also without a significant skill advantage the chance to win against fighters like the Hornet is probably rather small.

Did you see the monthly mag for it? This will be the most useful ship in the game. Along with repair, it will be able to refuel as well. It also has a rearming module for giving ammo out to ships.

Fuck the corvette as a standard mini-fleet ship, the Crucible would be way more useful by being able to increase the range of the fighter squadron with fuel and repairs, or being able to replenish ammo for kinetic weapons.

Problem being of course is that the 'gameplay' will mostly consist of small minigames, so you would have to be comfortable with that.

>>135659269
>implying that would be a problem

I kind of still have my hopes on the NPCs being hired to do whatever extra tasks are needed. Of course, we have yet to see the advanced AI they plan for us to be able to hire/encounter, but from what they have shown of the AI it looks promising. If not, I think the benefits of the Crucible would make it worthwhile to most medium - hardcore players that seriously want to fly distances as groups of fighters. The uses of the crucible seem almost too good to be true. You do a strike on some faggots it space and then warp back to the place with the crucible to fix you up and continue on. The minigames are worth the post-combat effectiveness.

Yeah, that's true. But having mechanics like that is definitely making noncombat roles more appealing, even if it's just an occasional side-job or whatever.

On another note, I'm considering melting my meme Hornet and Delta to grab a Blade. I know the value is terrible, but I'm a big fan of the design. Already have a Sabre sitting around to use as a fighter. Thoughts?

I don't think so. I have an account, but I don't have a game package. I can sen PMs to people, and in MY ACCOUNT it doesn't know the red sign saying I'm banned (I've been probationed before).

Some bits of it are paricles, but most of it are alpha images, or images with transparency. They're layered and offset to the camera and in different directions/orientations to give the illusion if a true particle system. While it looks ok, they aren't the same thing.
