It's the lowest effort, rushed "event" they've pushed into the game, and you can tell by how weak the rewards are and that they can't even stick to one color theme for the factions (though I like the HH fit). One positive aspect of this event, compared to the other FOMO events, is that you and your party members receive full progress on the faction you choose when sharing missions instead of splitting.

If they want event participation, just unfuck salvaging a bit better, make cargo unload itself because the boxes have magnetic thrusters that are invisible and do not need additional art asset work, and make aUEC rewards good enough to attract RMT grinders, but it all gets wiped eventually, because EVENT is part of Eventually.

I believe discussion involving certain words is grounds for jail time in Germany at this point, like a German might go to prison for writing the word "Nazi" on any online forum, even if he/she/they/pee/poo/etc was ""anonymous"", and their life might be ruined after they are eventually maybe released. Like if the cops plant CP on your computer when you are a political enemy without hidden ties to epstein or diddy combs or prince andrew or "the rest of the little black book that no longer exists".

it is all there on one of 4chan archives:

Vehicles are a meme outside Nursa.

>>2030287
>And you can achieve better results with a ship.
AA vehicles will soon gain access to ground to air exclusive missiles which have vastly better performance. Will that make them useful? Potentially, if the power output is similar to the pre-nerf Taskforce missiles they had for like two patches since a single one of those would wipe out everything smaller than medium ship and the medium ships more often than not would lose shields or their power plants from a single one while a small handful of them could take down a constellation and the storm AA carried 64 of them. I don't expect them to actually be good though because I expect nothing from CIG when it comes to vehicles.

>>2030287
>Vehicle team confirmed they don't care about vehicles at all In official star citizen Q&A, laughing at the notion they should be balanced or have a role in the game.
butthole citizen indeed.

>>2030287
I think vehicles with working powerplants should be made able to fly and maneuver in space outside of ""gravity"", with slow Argo-style maneuverability and full 6 degrees of freedom, max speed can be a thing to constantly buff and nerf every patch for better whale tears.

If they enter a gravity well, it is duh future, so they all have some kind of parachute-analog that lets them orient while performing re-entry at a decent terminal velocity, and make a whole new jumptown sport with minimal physics flag tweaks to existing vehicle controls, add flavor thrusters later and handwave it in the meantime like everything else..

>>2030374
Probably can just chaff them away.

>>2030552
Vehicles should be made much more durable.
Vehicles should not be targetable by ships.
Places like Lazarus should allow vehicles to drive there.

>>2030287
Their signatures should be greatly reduced. Also the biggest failure is that neither the ursa, mtc and upcoming g12 fit in a cutlass. You need a max to transport those and theres a chance that if the freelancer gets a rework it might get more cargo but also be less useful for vehicle transport.

>>2030743
you can drive wheeled vehicles to lazarus

>>2030810
I believe they recently added planetary emission signatures which greatly helps mask vehicle emissions because planet emissions are subtracted against vehicle emissions so with a single cooler and shields disabled you have a <1k signature on most vehicles. and yeah I agree, size is basically what kills them because there's no practical way to transport them without a vastly larger ship so you're limited to the PTV and hover bikes for most ships. In an ideal world we'd have the option to convert them into an SCU crate for transportation purposes and just claim QD tech allows it to magically pack and unpack itself into a space efficient container but that breaks immersion too much for them so everything is relegated to the garbage bin.

Honestly I genuinely have no idea why they just don't have vehicle pads randomly scattered around all the planets that're outside the range of turrets that you can land at and call in your vehicles so that you have the option of utilizing larger ships for vehicle hot drops or secure an onsite location that allows you to call-in your vehicles planetside and resupply them from there.

>>2030968
I never tried, and never saw any there. Supposedly vehicles are ships too, so they should get disabled by the storm. (assuming the storm even works now, the visuals are gone)

>>2030968
In fact I have never even heard any rumors that you can drive vehicles there, quite the contrary. ATLS is the only "vehicle" able to survive it, and thats because its not a vehicle. All vehicles that have a powerplant get disabled.

>>2031060
>>2031055
only gravlevs are disabled, wheeled stuff does just fine. it's simply that there's no good reason to take one there when the tram is automatic and much faster. in theory cyclones would be good fun and effective but the drive is a fair ways and would take a long time

>>2030552
>>2030743
Agree.
>>2030810
many of the ships where "minivan almost fits inside but you did not pledge enough shekels" really should be scaled up by 10% physical size to allow vehicles to fit.

At the very least it would open up otherwise unexpected organic PVP where whales get FUN surprises for their jerkofftube onlycitizens fans.

Whats the exact aggro policy in pyro in regards to turrets? I heard that if you shoot a player every station will fire on you for a certain ammount of time (people say 5min or so) regardless of rep. Also in outposts with turrets will they aggro your ship if you open fire on someone?

>>2030287
Dense forests (to the tune of Kashyyyk from StarWars), huge underground facilities, or just megastructures (space-borne or planet-side) would make them useful. Any place where space is constrained, and where ships may be able to enter but will not be able to maneuver to any degree would make vehicles useful.
However, vehicles need greatly reduced signature and greatly enhanced armor to the point that a ship in the same class as a vehicle would not be able come anywhere close to face-tanking it 1v1. A ground vehicle of the same class should always out-armor and out-gun a ship, with a greatly reduced signature to boot. Also, much more available power from the same power plant due to no thrusters, and relying on (much better) passive armor than (cope) shields.

>>2031199
>Dense forests
but vehicles are unable to knock over trees in star citizen like you can in many other older games.
>huge underground facilities,
why no combined-arms asteroid bases?
why no ToW still?
why?
>or just megastructures
like player-owned space stations and starbases from ""sustainable"" marketing hype videos a few years ago?
like land claims, construction robots, basebuilding, Pioneer+Galaxy and more?
>Also, much more available power from the same power plant due to no thrusters, and relying on (much better) passive armor than (cope) shields.
shields feel like a joke, either "fart too pee poo" underpowered, or "lol something hit us?" overpowered, and when NPC FPS bullets can wound you inside of your ship's own shield bubble.
even deflector shields in "star trek" are better handwavium at this point.

>>2031199
I remember doing a mission at a crashed reclaimer in the middle of a forrest. The funny thing was that some players came in with vehicles, tank even. Even though it must have been absolute pain to get through the forrest.

Star Citizen is a monthly subscription or a game that you just buy?

>>2031428
Theres no sub to play SC like WoW has, and the minimum price starts at the $45 game package.

>>2031428
Just try it for a week in the free fly events without paying before shelling money on a package to see if you like the game or your rig can even run it well enough to be playable to begin with.
They have free fly events regularly, there is one currently close to the end of November.

>>2031442
>45$ minimum package
Expensive shit
Is the game greedy even after buying this?
Like microtransactions, package offers, buy insurance for real money. ect...

>>2031534
Depends on how much of a social creature you are. If you don't mind getting into global chat and asking for someone to let you borrow a specific ship and then spending 5 minutes flying to them to pick it up, $45 will let you experience everything the game has to offer. If you don't want to socialize in a space MMO you're gonna have to pony up for those $2k ships. There's a free fly coming in a few weeks for IAE so you can try it out for free then and see if you like it.

>>2031585
>$2k ships
utter waste of money unless you have an org large enough to use one. even then most players just want to fly their own shit and you need people on around the same time to be able to crew one. The owner of the ship has to also be on for everyone to be able to fly it currently.

Big ships will probably eventually just be bought/crafted and owned by large orgs and called by anyone with permission in them.
Once engineering is in and upkeep costs ramp up I'd imagine it will be a huge pain in the ass for under-crewed capitals.
And good luck to solos they are going to be in a world of pain if they are holding out for NPC crew.

>>2031115
I'm hoping someone makes an offshoot of this game that just uses mass and thrust as limiting factors and models thrust more accurately instead of "it sits it fits" fuckery. And makes better use of space so you can have sane designs that look and feel more believable.
Oh and bump up the speeds so it is more space Vietnam/expanse than space ww1.

>>2031591
I don't think engineering is going to do much for PVE capitals given that there's no real time sensitivity to it but I expect it to impact low crew capitals during PVP engagements.

>>2031534

many unfinished promises 5-10 years later though, but you can always count on the next marketing drive with the next NFT drop, with LTI for non-store-credit pledges/purchases only.

Basically a fresh cash tariff, 109+% tax on transferrability of said NFTs, unless you are the original purchaser/pledger, since u need to "melt" and "rebuy with fresh cash" to activate the one-time-use "gift" button for your NFT shit/ship that punches above/below it's weight class and will be nerfed and no it will not fit an ursa minivan inside, and last time i checked, the 4SCU ursa minivan cargo grid is still disabled and fucked and non-functional.

>>2031970
because a significant amount of players have more ships than they can use and if they don't need it within the next 30 minutes there's no penalty to loaning out a ship since they can just give it to you and file an insurance claim to have it replaced. Typically the only ships people aren't willing to just hand out would be the capital ships or sub-capitals because they have a 1-2 hour insurance claim time.

For a regular forest foot-slogging would make more sense, and possibly grav bike if you feel suicidal.
Underground caves/superstructures would be like the underground sections of Halo, industrial mines (such as modern salt mines), or some kind of underground industrial/military installation. Of course, all of that could be space-borne, say, inside an asteroid, space station, ruins, shattered planet, or something.

stinger w/ omniskys and DR-XJ2s coupled to its cannon is fucking disgusting

revenants and sawbucks are preferable for point instance gunning down of larger targets on part of the sheer damage entailed though
but not being tethered to ammo pools is its own reward and the flight characteristics of the stinger itself happen to work very well with a smaller capacitor pool when engaged with more nimble stuff as the name of the game is pulling the target into one's sights for the singular moments available to fire which are rarely going to drain the laser batteries anyhow and they'll simply refill in a moment amidst maneuvering for the next go

and there are distortion cannons but they're marginally less damaging as best i could see and the firing cadence of all seven mounts means that the omniskys and them will drain well before the centerline gun if an opportunity for enduring fire is encountered and leave the giant dick out and hanging whereas the capacitors of the repeaters can continue to accompany the plasma cannon for a while longer
good texture to sit in the cockpit with besides, the repeaters. seven guns is quite a few things going off at once and three different flavors simultaneously is pretty cool
even the f8 is only rocking eight shooters and they're nowhere near as large on the whole

it is probably smarter to stick to the suckerpunch-Ls on the twin belly S2s all this said for maximo alfa damaje

oh
they're all conformant in shot speed anyhow so i could just put one of the suckerpunches back in to be a brainiac about it while keeping the other a repeater just to be a repeater chad
and the repeater or it can be chosen to be on the same side as the center gun
that's pretty cool

has anyone else had the notion of a utility repeater besides?
where you basically allocate a hardpoint for a cf laser gatling (or your preferred flavor) that can be used to 'interact' with the world in a more surgical way especially with gimbals turned on or whatever
would get its own firing group and such if it were extremely divergent and you'd wave it around like a wand as called for
first occurred to me in a meteor with its quad s3 belly hardpoints which are very secondary to dose leonids holy shit. deadbolts played nicely before but i'd be interested in trying scatterguns on it when i next can

>>2033389

meanwhile the eminently navigable and intelligible polaris can have a tank driven in and out of it when stripped of the top guns last i checked, though it's very tight, and that's pretty much all i could ever ask of a landing/transport craft which it well and straddles into with the internal volumes

No you can't cause CIG doesn't give a fuck either. The point of the NDA was to encourage more videos and screenshots of bugs sent to the IC as is Evocati's main purpose, instead of people spreading them all around the different forums. Some footage here and there of engineering content we have seen for the past 3 years in official videos is nothing.

tldr on the sikrit engineering test?

>>2031115
Its kind of bullshit the number of ships that almost fit the Ursa and then have some random bump on the ramp making it too narrow. C1 Spirit and the Zeus Mk 2 are the biggest culprits. The idea that RSI would make an exploration ship and then intentionally design the ramp struts to block their own exploration rover is insane.

>>2031970
Standard "Do everything semi-decently" step above the starter ships is 1.3 million aUEC. The starter ships should be able to run 50k aUEC bounty hunter missions just fine and complete each mission in about 15 minutes or less. So about 8 hours to get the Avenger Titan, and then another 10 to 12 to get the next step which would be the Cutlass Black.

This is doing things the "proper" quest grind way. A better way is to do enough quick missions to get the 50k or so to rent a Hull-A and then stack small direct cargo missions to the same location so you make 200k a run with no risk, and an even better way is to stevedore on a Reclaimer while they salvage ships and then the pilot venmos you a cut of the profits.

>>2035684
This is almost certainly due to the ursa medivac completely fucking up the risk/reward system of respawning. So they have to find some way to not have every ship become a mobile respawn point from just shoving a nursa in the back.

I don't believe engineering will kill off "solo" cap ships or change anything really, but if you'll indulge me.

When we talk of "soloing cap ships" in the current live environment, what we all mean is just the act of piloting your ship by yourself and flying from point A to B, and engineering won't do anything to stop that. No, what engineering means, at least in the short term, is that ships no longer instantly explode from reaching 0% HP and can be restored from their "soft death" state, which will create opportunities for pirates who manage to disable these behemoths to actually commandeer them for themselves.

Cap ships are currently oppressive because they serve as massive HP pools equipped with automated PDCs that easily handle anything smaller than an MSR. Also, their (expedited) claim timers are still quite fast, so they're almost always more present than not. As far as we know, engineering doesn't do anything about those aforementioned points either; instead, I foresee a much more brutal reality for solo bobs when CIG gets around to drastically increasing the claim timers on all ships proportional to their size/role and the introduction of tiered insurance preventing easy restocking. Although they've tried to do that twice in the past, the buggy nature of this tech demo always made them reverse course, so I don't expect that anytime soon.

For now, we have the Perseus releasing in less than a month for IAE, and if you own one and can get a couple of tards to man the twin S8 turrets, I believe it will make any solo bob think twice before bringing out their Idris/Polaris. Atmospheric flight (coming sometime in the next decade), killing the cancerous nose-down meta, will be another blow to solo ships camping ground locations, and so on.

TL;DR: While I believe engineering won't change much for cap ships in their current state, introducing an aggressive insurance mechanic at some point will invoke more seethe on spectrum than engineering ever could.

>>2037385
>>2037392
Single seaters and older ships that won't have physicalized components when engineering makes it into the live environment will have a "temporary" repair mechanic they can use at the press of a button on the MFDs. How it works as of the most recent tech-preview is that a ship component has to be completely dead before it lets you repair it via the MFD, but only up to 20%, and you can only do it once per component.

>>2037450
"nose down meta", please explain to me why thrusters capable of >1g+(w/n) where g is the gravitational force of the planet, w is the weight of the ship, and n is the number of thrusters firing. Please explain why a ship wouldn't be capable of facing downward. (Hurr durr big thrustas on da back) if you knew anything about rocket engines and thrusters you would know those "Big thrusters" area actually meant for a vacuum and LESS effective the closer they get to sea level.

Let me help you, you DONT LIKE when ships face down because it LOOKS DUMB. BLAME CIG for not allowing any tools for landing cameras, controllable pilot directional weapons and cameras, etc.

Players have different ideas of what looks good and what looks dumb, my friend thinks its "ridiculous" when big ships point straight up into the sky and take off, but isn't that what current rockets do? Point their most powerful thruster package down and fly "up". The would rather every large ship have a VTOL animation where every ship pivots its "biggest thrustas" like the reclaimer. But he doesn't seem to understand that the thrust could equally be applied if the ship was facing straight up.

What you people want is compromise, I believe ships should be able to nose down but at extreme cost depending on the gravity of the planet, atmospheric conditions, weight of the ship, and quality of the thrusters. It should burn fuel at an incredible rate, and risk overheating the thrusters.

Sound fair? No? Go fuck yourself, this is the only way every is kind of okay with the outcome.

>>2037525
Calm yourself faggot.
>I believe ships should be able to nose down but at extreme cost depending on the gravity of the planet, atmospheric conditions, weight of the ship, and quality of the thrusters. It should burn fuel at an incredible rate, and risk overheating the thrusters.
This is exactly what the atmospheric flight model does and was even demonstrated in engine a couple shitcons ago (find it yourself), and If you have knowledge of tinkering with the engine, you can even enable an early version of it in arena commander.

that, and if they introduce 20 scu boxes

Hey bozos why can't I change how many steps the velocity/acceleration limiter does when scrolling my mouse wheel, I can't go as slow as I want any more because every scroll is like 19 m/s and the mouse sensitivity option (rel) does nothing when changing it, no difference between 0.10 and the maximum which is 3 or something

Idris can oneshot most ships from pilot seat.

>>2037748
Yea if retards put themselves in that position, but either way, that's not gonna change unless they remove the S10 from the pilot and make one of the 4 copilot seats the designated button monkey, which opens up its own can of worms.

monthly fomo events where we suffer through the bugs that make it barely playable and then turn around and grief the people trying to get it done after they patch it because 'back in my day [a week ago] this was a lot harder'

>>2037534
Griefing because it has literally zero consequences.

>>2038026
Is it truly grief when there is no actual loss in SC, then?

>automated PDCs that easily handle anything smaller than an MSR.
Looks like they are already addressing that with the pdc nerfs in today's 4.4 evocati patch

It wastes people's time. Ultimately that's all griefing does in almost any game. How that matters to you depends on you value your time/life.
Eventually people find something better to do with their time and quit.

Yeah its not a problem when its just 1 retard in his idris, he'll get QED'd and torn apart in time, its when theres 2+ solo idris covering each others blind spots or solo idris bounty hunter sat outside pointing his laser beam at your god marker for 2 days

So a friend gifted me a Cutter and it's pretty neat. After spending some alone time with the game , I just don't get it. What's the appeal of the game? Why do you guys play? Not trying to be an asshole but I'm genuinely curious, I want to know as an outsider. Especially for the people that have been playing for awhile. I think this game has been worked on for 10+ years but it feels like the bare minimum. Ship detail is cool but that's kind of it? Stations feel copy and pasted. I was excited to find out Ptro and it's gangs but each station feels the same. It has no personality. The combat feels bland because it's nothing really feels like a threat since npc ai doesn't seem to function. Yeah the space ships are cool but after reading the history of Chris Roberts and his history with game development and movies etc, it feels like it's basically the hook to keep the money rolling for all the kids that grew up on star wars back in the 80s and now have disposable income.
Also, it's kind of fucking weird that all the random people I met in that game have those big capital ships are way too eager to invite you and then ask you to fly their capital ship. I mean the community is nice but something just feels off with these capital ship people.

We're due for a server reset sometime this week which should resolve that. They're extremely lethal on server resets because the server isn't bogged down with trash that slows down their response speed. Ultimately what do you do in Star Citizen? Whatever you want. You need to find what loop you really like to do, for me it was salvaging ships until they ruined the gameplay loop last patch but I'll probably get back into cargo now that the Tractor guns actually move shit. Taking pve bounty hunter contracts and then looting their disabled ships while not particularly profitable is something I find pretty fun.

1. Make your own adventure as different "careers" (eg. Combat pilot, Soldier, Trader, Hauler, Miner, Salvager etc.) [main progression is money]
2. Do the "current" content, so effectively the FPS content (cz, Hathor, farro, Lazarus, onyx) [main progression is gear]
3. Optimal money making through uex
4. Grief other players trying to do any of the above
5. Roleplay

These are your options with the only added flavor that you can do them in a group.
I wish I knew some roleplayers - so I don't know if they exist, but the game is pretty perfect for it (outside of bugs which are a problem any way you play)
