So what the hell happened to The Next Great Star Marine? I haven't heard anything about it for months. They said they'd start the competition early this year but haven't made a peep about it for months.
>>135964875
I've heard nothing new, though I'm hardly in a rush to get it going
3rd for inevitable rape of the Reclaimer.
Is this game playable well yet, or is it still riddled with small (or large) bugs and UI issues?

Sup suckers, it's me, Big Daddy Chrissy R here. Give me 3 ideas how to make SC not suck and I might think about adding them next time I blow coke off Sandi's ass.
>>135964875
They should better be concentrating on finishing the actual game instead of wasting time for a shit show that will come up with one shitty design that will rot away in our hangars for the following 2 years like it was the case with the rememer
>>135969825
1)
There should be collectible insects on different planets that we can catch.
2)
If you die you die forever, you should have to rebuy the game to play again
3)
High Risk High Reward Gameplay - Since I am the best Pirate player around I should be able to stop and rob a Hull E in my Hornet Ghost. The Cargo Capacity of the Ghost SHOULD NOT be an issue.
read my reddit posts for further ideas
Is it weird I'm more interested in Squadron 42 than the actual game? What were the benefits from finishing S42 then playing SC again?
/r/ing that concept image of the Hornet with a fuckton of armor plates attached. There was an image of a Pz. V Panther next to it for reference.

Kind of an important part of the game since it's the only thing that's going to let the player fight Vanduul in boarding operations without getting shitwrecked.

Pretty sure the 325a can have unlimited missile locks.
The only problem then is you're in a 325a.
>>135990823
>>135991397
I used to support Aegis but after the latest ship drop I can't do it anymore, that's why I've become a cruise MISCille.
>>136006732
Serious question - what is wrong with the 325a?
>>136008501
Poor cargo storage and inefficient use of interior space. It flies alright though.
>>136008501
Same thing that's wrong with the rest of the 300 series: the ship was a very early design that never got update. This ship was one of the first designs they ever put together and got put into the game, and its physical model has very, very little. The large issue is the 300 series was created when their idea of engines and other component sizes was not yet complete.
This caused the 300 series to remain a bloated ship with very few actual features. Its engine and power plant are massive yet offer essentially no benefit for their size. The interior cabin is awkward and malformed, with plenty of unused space with no actual purpose. You can't place cargo in between the gull wing doors, your bed is a small fold out cot compared to the bed-in-the-wall of the Avenger or even the Aurora. The cockpit has not been updated in ages, so it has no MFDs.
Its loadout is okay for what it is, but the weapons being on the wing tips and not underneath the wings was a very poor choice, allowing you to lose them rather easily in firefights.
The 300 series has been neglected since the beginning, because its not a ship slated to show up in Squadron 42, so it was left on the sidelines while other ships like the Avenger came into their own.
The 300 series desperately needs a complete do-over, and I don't think there's many who would object to something even as extreme as a completely new model shape. The current ship model is too constrained by the differences between its concept and the reality of the game we play today.
Is it wrong that I want to take Patrick Salerno to a barber and buy him a new outfit so he doesn't look like a slob?

>>136005086
>>136008945
>>136009218
Thanks.
I knew about the bad design decisions made (and agree with all of them), I thought maybe there was something wrong with the 325a specifically.
The 300 series falls prey to one of the dumbest design decisions that was made quite a few times for the early SC ships - being able to expose your "living quarters" to hard vacuum and in fact being forced to do so if you want to enter/exit your ship outside of atmosphere.
Technically you've got a docking point at the top of the ship (which honestly every ship that has any sort of interior space larger than just "cockpit chair" absolutely needs to have), but ships like the Aurora, non-racing Mustangs, or the Avenger can be entered and exited in space while leaving their living areas pressurized. Shit the Avenger can even do so from either end.
Gull wing doors on the 300 series are dumb, it should just a regular side door with a one-man sized airlock, the interior on the 300i should just be living space similar to the Mustang Beta (since it's a "touring" ship). The interior on the 315p should be long range scanning stations, and the interior on the 325a should just be weapons storage. The interior on the 300r should be absolutely nothing, because it's a racing ship and the goal would be to reduce weight as much as possible.
None of the ships described in the 300 series needs to be hauling cargo. It's a space BMW, the only cargo it needs to hold is your suitcase on your trip to Risa 3 for your stay at a space casino.
Pros/Cons of switching from 350r to Ghost?

>>136026406
Just buy the upgrade and switch, then fly the ghost around for a while and see if you like it.
If you end up not liking it than you can just buy the ghost to 350r upgrade for $0 and go right back.

The more I read about SC, the more I wish for a similar title with a more arcade-style feel.
Funky colors, no toilets in ships, ridiculous backstory, actually interesting systems instead of autismal stuff (like, say, a planet where a shaman mis-aimed a spell and, instead of evaporating a little shit, he turned everyone into zombies - landing there would give you appropriate missions), space hulks, etc.
None of that IMMERSION shit that generally destroys most genres when taken too far.

There ain't much to talk about in this particular general, due to the way CIG handles their updates / livestreams nowadays. Especially during the weekdays.
>>136063304
This.
so whats the hold up with planetary landings?
they did this long pull out video 3 months ago, roughly how much work is left to be done before we can try it out? i wouldn't expect it to be finished but why cant we test what they have so far?
https://youtu.be/OBYRIZA44Eg
>>136071737
It's pretty experimental tech, I guess the hold up is having the production space to move the based Germans over onto integrating that into the main branch.
How long until 2.3 goes live do you reckon?
>le redundancy face
>>136075083
Those lead to different places.
Fucking stupid how they couldn't use some of this wasted space for cabins though, this thing is the size of a tanker and everyone sleeps side by side in one room.
>>136075158
Both elevators lead to the same deck, but the starboard one is pointless since you can just take the ladder and arrive in the same place. Also nobody is going to use it to reach the crew deck anyway because it would require people to walk all the way through central engineering instead of just taking the port elevator.
>>136075284
Oh, and replacing it would free up 2 rooms which could be used for whatever purpose. Engineering storage or so next to the starboard crawlspace and some additional facilities on the crew deck.

>>136079467
you do know that reuseing components is a real life thing right?
auto manufactures will reuse car components like engines, starters, window motors, seat-belt locking mechanisms, tires, ect...
both ships are aegis, this would only be a problem if it was aegis and anvil components being reused in an RSI ship. also they have long ago decided that ship manufatures will have a simaler style across their ships, think F-22 and the F-35
>>136082853
Sure, but I'm just mad that they ruined the Vanguard like that. Sabre was supposed to be fast-tracked by using components etc. that already exist, and yet it's entirely original while the Vanguard is a kitbash of Retaliator parts and the Sabre cockpit. I can somewhat accept the exterior design changes to fit in with the rest of the lineup, but even the interior is terrible.
>>136083098
Try painting it white like I did with your mom's terrible interior.

>>136082853
The exterior should be completely different. Especially the wings/landing/gear/engines
>>136086250
The trick is never go to the official forums
So what are the chances that CIG will rework the Vanguard?
>>136094346
Maybe when they're doing the variants, but probably not. I guess they'll go full Avenger again and just exchange the interior module without touching anything else.
>>136094151
no, not really. in fact its quite stupid to think they would be wildly different when they were designed at the same company
FUCKING BOARDERS GET OFF MY SHIP REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>136094151
also there is a reason landing gear for planes look the same, because it works.
pretending they have to reinvent the wheel/skid for all ships of the same manufacturer is utterly asinine.

I thought about getting one for muh exploration but I'm thinking of just upgrading one of my LTI Archimedes into a Mustang Beta instead for maximum comfy.
Gonna wait until the inevitable 300 Series rework before I make up my mind though.
do you think lti archimedes will ever be sold again?
>>136105123
Never ever.
I'm poor so what I did was buy one with $30 of store credit, then wait 24 hours and then melt it, buy another one wait 24 hour and melt it... etc. I kept one, but now I have four LTI Archimedes I can repurchase at any time. I also have an LTI Titan pledge I can rebuy as well.
I'm thinking of selling them on lebbit but I'm not sure if I want to deal with those assholes.

Space bike meme shipby Drake
Lost some poll about which ship should be concepted a while ago, but people kept whining for years, so they decided to build it anyway.
>>136080484
Now I'm brainstorming X3-like ship designs for Star Citizen.
Like random elevators that lead into dead ends that look like random antennae from the outside. They can be ejected to kill confused boarders.
Also really fucking obnoxious flight behavior and completely FUBAR internal designs that make it impossible to determine if you've damaged a vital component or just a random stack of redundant armor that was used to reinforce a structure that would otherwise be unconnected because the designers fucked up with aligning parts of the ship when making the blueprints.
Some rooms don't even have oxygen, while others contain re-purposed thrusters used to fill the room with air.
And there are families of smaller alien species living in the crevices of the ship. There is a random chance to have a xenomorph make a nest in a dark corner of the ship and occasionally troll the pilot by killing his passengers. If you are lucky, you can negotiate a non-aggression pact that requires you to bring it a nice human-and-metal meal once in a while.
Then it won't kill you, but might randomly fuck with your ship to make the lighting creepier and shit.
During a fight it might save your ass by manning a turret, killing boarders or replacing the dead dude at the engineering control panel.
>>136110181

So has this game turned into shit like Eternal Crusade did? Both hit my radar at the same time and I was incredibly hype for both. Elite Dangerous just isn't doing it for me, there's nothing to do after I buy my big huge ship.
>>136129937

>>136129937

>>136131578
It's become just another generic 64 player shooter in a big map with a 40k skin. It was originally proposed as open world like Planetside 2.
>>136132178
They just unveiled the world map, and the "open world" is almost like Planetside 2. Alpha games gonna Alpha, man.
>>135977723
that's sexy
>>136071737
they'll need some landing zones first. Looks like the asteroid hangar is pretty much done, but if they just released that the forums would melt down with the amount of angst and rage from people who don't have that hangar. Mind you they could have added a test bit of space to all of the hangars so you could fly your ships around a bit in hangar mode and they haven't done that either so...

whelp
On a more serious note, why does a ship this small even have elevators? a pair of ladders at every elevation change is more than adequate and in an emergency they are much faster/can move more people per floor per time period. The full flight of stairs going up to the living area also just seem like a giant waste of space compared to a pair of ladders.
>>136149104
They have elevators for moving shit around.
Can't exactly carry a crate of food up to the galley and climb up the ladder at the same time.
Is there any hope for the RSI community or is it pretty much shit now too?
>>136150616
Then you just need 1 medium sized freight elevator running through all levels of the ship and everything else can be ladders. Still takes up less space and provides faster and more effect movement.
>>136154842
That's true, but the post he was referring to was asking why a space freighter had elevators at all.
>>136153212
Every community that talks about Star Citizen turns to shit.
>>136154842
Why does your house have stairs instead of ladders? They're a huge waste of space, anon.
>>136160663
Stairs are easier/comfier, my house is a place of leisure, "wasting space" is a common theme.
A Starfarer is a work ship, you're not living on it full time, and it's also not a building, you've got limited space on how you can fit everything you want into it, and with how small it is compared to what you'd expect it to have, those full flight of stairs and the robust elevators for one level are a complete waste of space. Even modern cargo ships don't have stairs like that in them for the crew that's spending weeks at a time aboard. Instead they use those ladder-stair hybrids which are much more compact.
>>136161756
Spacing in videogames is almost always exaggerated in order to make it easier for players to move through levels.
This is why living rooms in houses are huge, furniture is always arranged against walls, etc.
>>136153212
>>136157759
It's because there's not enough to do at the moment so it's all just hype and speculation. In the absence of anything to do (ie. play the fucking game) the community just delves into drama and "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS BROKEN IN THE GAME THAT I HAVEN'T REALLY PLAYED YET I AM WORRIED" threads. The RSI community is way to politically correct and care bear to really be any fun. The moderators try to make everyone feel safe. I find this funny since the game by CR's own admission is going to be pretty brutal in places like non-secure space and when dying.
>>136161984
>I find this funny since the game by CR's own admission is going to be pretty brutal in places like non-secure space and when dying.
I think the first couple of weeks are going to be a mixture of griefer giggles and carebear tears until people start to realize that space is a giant fucking frontier and this isn't Eve Online where spacecops will warp in weapons hot 30 milliseconds after someone hurts your feelings.
I'm all for pve and carebeary shit, but I do hope that there will be areas of space that will be truly lawless. Enter at your own peril, here be fucking dragons, etc.

I agree, the idea of going somewhere that isn't civilized will be a lot of fun. Besides, what's the point of buying all those weapons and badass equipment if you don't have a chance to use it.
>>136166818
>if you don't have a chance to use it
You're not going to be shooting other players a whole lot
>>136167313
That still leaves NPC pirates and vanduul and whatever the hell else is out there.
>>136167405
Yeah but that's par for the course. A lot of people act like the only thing that's ever going to be dangerous is other players for some reason
Isn't this game supposed to go F2P when it actually launches?
>>136167861
No, you still have to buy it, Squadron 42 and the main game are actually going to be sold separately.
>>136167945
Ah, I should have a job by the time release actually hits though so I guess I"ll be fine.

Lisa Ohanian tits will be missed.
Autistic faggots rule the RSI boards and nothing can be said that brings any negativity to Star Citizen, Chris could take a dump on a nerds chest for a Javalin and there would be fluffer mcfatty tits weebos lined up ready for their hot pile of chest shit and -2000 dollars for their god king.

Why would anyone be pissed about ED at any point in its development and release
Besides people who paid for it, anyway
>>136172716
>pulling the old "but at least ED is going to release/I can play it now" card
Nope. It released and it was unmitigated dogshit.
The tech demo still has a slim chance of turning into a game people want to play, ED does not
>>136172427
> worrying about whales banding together
I wonder who has spent the most on Star Citizen?
I remember reading about one guy who had spent over $30,000 over the course of two years. Honestly if you can afford to drop the cost of a nice automobile on a game using entirely disposable income than good for you I guess, but it still makes me feel weird considering I only make around $10k a year total.
>>136173365
What if you have a Mustang Omega?
If you get a refund than that ship will be gone forever.
>>136167984
>Ah, I should have a job by the time release actually hits though so I guess I"ll be fine.
You need a job to scrounge up $45?
I'd be more concerned about the $1000+ you need for a PC that will actually run this game.
>>136172716
>ED
>game
>what, you need more than random aimless flying through the retardedly huge endless spacyness of space to be considered a game?
>>136172716
Star Citizen is an early access game that others pay for me, with the full game being an ordinary full-price title.
ED is a bunch of DLCs that I would have to pay all of if I wanted the full game.
>>136173274
His name is Chris Johnson he is very open about who he is and that he works for eBay and makes tons of spare cash to buy his internet spaceships, hes part of COVE org on Star Citizen, he also has some kinda PCGaming magazine editor friend who follows him, he will be going to CitizenCon, nice guy non the less.
>>136172427
Whats funny is that people will need statements like this, but fully verified before they even consider that the game is not possible in a reasonable amount of time.
Nevermind the common sense that 100 star systems, trade, instancing, landing zones, mining, balancing etc.. cant magically appear within the next 3 years.
I dont know how people can keep lying to themselves that production will catch up when the other modules took so long.
>>136173925
I should add also, hes not the biggest whale, the highest ive seen is 80k.Ive heard stories of higher, but confirmed 80k, Chris Johnson though who spent 30k is peanuts to some others out there. His only claim to fame was his PC Gaming buddy wrote an article about him, but there is bigger if you spend time in the SC community and know who is who. Were a small group that are active amoungst the SC community Teamspeaks and Discords out there. We all know who is who.
>>136174362
>How many are complete morons buying ships with student loans, maxed out credit cards, mortgages, etc.?
There are lots, I know of a few in my org as well, I cant say who I am but just take this for face value, yes there is people who burn up credit card debt a new ship comes out and there lives are not that great to begin with but they cant help themselves. *trust me, I know I cant prove it or open who I am but ive seen this for many years now, its a cult more than a game.

Welcome to 4chan, but if you are active in most of the org communities you know the big players and whales over time. Most sit and bitch in chat on RSI while others play and talk over TS and Dis. and that has a whole other community of weirdos and strange creatures of habit.

>The baby PU in its current state is essentially exactly what you described but instead of being retardedly huge, it's painfully small.
Exactly. SC alpha is like full ED with a smaller scale. And less orange quadratic ships.
> I really hope you like Crusader because it's all you're getting.
That's the thing: If it never goes beyond the PU, I will simply not pay for the game. I didn't pay a single dime yet.
And that's the difference to ED. ED will never go beyond this level.
>>136177129
>SC alpha is like full ED
not even close. star citizen doesn't even have a fully functional game engine yet
Why are people so mad about this game being made?
>>136178205
Cause people like it and people aren't allowed to like things
>>136178205
Because the game that was promised is never going to be made at this rate.
Instead of the BDSSE, we'll probably get a MBSSE, mediocre buggy space system experience.

>>136195836
The only ones who deserved to be saved at this point are newfags who havent seen the ship grinding against the iceberg from 2014.
If Derek wants to save them he needs to get more media on the case instead of rambling on twitter.

Yeah god forbid they actually focus on something for a change instead of just randomly poking away at content that's not even directly connected. They're working on Nyx and I don't even know why since Pyro goes between Stanton and Nyx.

This, so much this.
I bought into SC last year, played alpha, enjoyed... then went on le lebbid and rsi forums and was utterly fucking dismayed at the carebear shitfest community i'd bought into.
But then I realized Chris hates them too. (all that Sandi brand coca cola keeps him ragin')

Well the way they calculated my unemployment fucked me over so I have to live off of 500 a month. I also have bills to pay and since I live in the boonies, it takes a decent chunk of gas to go into town.
>>136211470
They keep making threads bitching about the fact that the PvP slider won't protect them from other players 100% of the time. I guess they think NPCs will never attack them.
>>135979287
Way late, but yeah that was a short story by Larry Niven about first contact between humanity and the Kzin (asshole space cats that CR based the Kilrathi on).
Mankind in the future basically reaches a golden age of peace and space travel, evidence of violence and war has been removed from our culture and even remotely violent thought is considered a rare mental illness.
A human spacecraft encounters a Kzin warship in first contact. The human crew gets excited and try hailing the Kzin. The Kzin stay silent, scan the human ship, find out it has no armaments, and decide to use radiation weapons to slowly cook the humans inside because the Kzin are cruel asshole spacecats that kill everything if they can get away with it.
Humans quckly realize what the Kzin are doing when it heats up in their ship, panic because they can't imagine why sentient beings would attack unprovoked (or at all), and one crewmans survival instinct kicks in for the first time in hundreds of years and he rotates their main drive thrusters towards the unshielded warship, and vaporizes it with the plasma from their thrusters before the Kzin realize the humans aren't just running away.
tl;dr: The general gist is that humans are natural problem solvers and the quickest solution is to kill the problem.
>>136214374
>humans are natural problem solvers and the quickest solution is to kill the problem.
FUCK XENOS
>>136213917
desu, i'd like it if they told the auts and carebears that they can have 100% "pve" - and then pull dark soulsean shit and have them attacked by NPC that are player driven, but named and labelled as if NPC.
Thoughts on my redesign of the top floor?
>>136216140
oh and - disable comms between the NPC player and the PVE Carebear - so the Carebear never knows, they might suspect, or they might just think "wow what great AI".
Meanwhile whomever is driving the NPC enemy (from Carebear's perspective) could be engaged in a "kill xyz[dependent on faction or rep] hostile" mission.
>>136216367
Too good for CIG to actually implement.
>>136213917
Personally I hope the PVP slider is more of a placebo effect thing.
>>136218163
I can see it all now:
Some obsessed carebear records all verifiable instances of player versus player interaction, categorizes it, and uses the statistics to prove that the PvP slider doesn't actually work.
Queue mass ass ravagery.

I like the design, less wasted space. It took backers to jump their shit so they'd redesign the connie and that took a while. As much as I like it, I'd rather see the 300 series get a redesign/fixed first.
But, if they keep this stuff up the game will never be finished.
>>136218016
They get so close to doing a good thing but then fuck it all up.
