Javelin release on Aegis day or I ropemax

Ironclad is comfy
Also they gave kraken owners an ironclad assault loaner.

>>2465066
Better start practicing tying a noose now, you will be very embarrassed if you're too retarded to even kill yourself when the time comes.

Did they fix the godaweful quality system yet? Not touching crafting anyway.

>>2465148
I heard something about reducing quality amount.

>>2465066
Ironclad (a) is unplayably buggy and a true multicrew ship with only torps on pilot. But yes.

This has worked smoothly so far, granted I was on low pop shards.
Docking snaps very easily with my Aurora but the Perseus is a bit of a struggle.

>>2465148
Each type of mineral gem etc has a band of quality.
For instance. Iron mid band is 600 lets say. Top band is 800. Best is 1000. You will never find iron that's not 600, 800 or 1000 quality.
Meanwhile copper will have 650 mid, 780 top and 1000 best.
(not actual numbers)
The idea is that there's only 4 different quality numbers for a mineral so you can stack shit in your inventory. Also it means when they implement the ability to substitute minerals for other minerals, you'll be able to substitute a mineral that has a better quality band than the one the item uses by default that you may have more of.

The Tiburon is completely retarded, they should've just slapped on the fucking beam cannon on the current hammerhead with it's stupid-fuck "speed hole" or at the very least turn that space into a fucking barracks for marines, but no they went full retard instead with the Tiburon, also the fucking anvil odin looks like a retarded piece of shit with far too many of it's singular guns being extremely limited in terms of firing arcs and they're gonna fucking slap on a fucking 6000 dollarino pricetag on there if not closer to 7000 cause 'fuck you godless goyim meat animal, pay for the jpeg!'

They won't make that flyable till shitizen 1.0 now go buy another one.

>>2465320
To me its funny that their dogshit system is so bad they realized in 1 patch it doesnt work

>>2465441
They don't play their own game and are basically winging development.

>>2465330
Tiburon is unironically almost all the fixes that HH needs.. except still needs too much crew, now lacks a docking port (which is required for legionnaire)..
.. but then i saw the interior - how they used the space in the nose of the ship... god damn it how dumb.

That's closed door gayme development for ya!

>>2465445
I cannot understand what is so hard about copying eve.

They also already have three ways of controlling rarity (amount of ore in asteroid, amount of asteroid of type, amount of material required for crafting) so why the fuck would you add a fourth. Junior game developer stuff.

>>2465491
You could even make rarity by location of the type of asteroid. If all Xylitol ultra rare material astroids are in single poi in pyro, it becomes quite rare by definition due to being so contested.

>>2465491
>I cannot understand what is so hard about copying eve.
Chris and co are far too egotistical to copy Eve.

>Can't fucking rent ships at DefenseCon.

I went to DefenseCon, rented the ships, hit the confirm button, and ran all the way back to the spaceport like three times before I gave up.

>>2465649
And yet they're blowing everyone's money on creating a poor copy of Call of Duty:Infinite Warfare

>>2465651
Are you sure its not

Wow, this patch is awful straight off the rip

>>2465785
The first one always is

>>2465491
EVE is fucking boring.

>>2465942
100%.
But the systems in place work well. Especially the economy systems which are all player driven.
You need to build something? Put in an order for the materials.
Someone else goes out and mines the materials and fills your order.
It's delivered to you because someone has picked up the order and taken it to the station you're at.
And it happens seamlessly.
The fact I can't have someone deliver my shit from pyro to stanton after a decade of development is in itself a fucking travesty.
Why can't I fill out a delivery request, someone picks up my shit at checkmate, flies it to orison and drops it off for me to use?
If he loses it or steals it, he pays me whatever I've put as the insurance amount for the job.
Why can't we do that yet?
Why is it only the last patch a day ago that lets me scroll past 100 names in the fucking chat list?
Why does this game not even have the most basic fucking tools in place yet after a fucking decade?

>>2466074
>Someone else goes out and mines the materials and fills your order.
And then they create gay universe-spanning cartels that hike up the prices dramatically, gatekeeping certain parts of the game with their thousands of alt accounts and bots.

>>2466093
Sounds like you want to play a single player game. Maybe this isn't the game for you bro.

They canceled the free-fly

>>2466104
Anon, I played EVE from 2006-2023.
I eventually had to quit because I realized all the public access PVP events like FW were filled with chinese botters. If that's what you want the game to turn into then you can just play EvE instead.

>>2466093
sc is harder to multibox. Hence we dont have gunners on all ships, if it was easy, id do it right now.

The base idea of eve resource -> crafting is completely fine. Not everything should be copied from eve naturally.
But copying ore quality from rust-style games (like last oasis) is really dumb.

Q: What about the Idris laser and current bugs?
A: There were hit improvements but then also there was a bug with how some of the damage was passed on. An elegant solution is being worked on. These bugs are unfortunately also present in the Tiburon.

>>2466203
Yeah I think this just isn't the game for you bro. Don't be upset. There are plenty of other games for people like you that get upset at player interaction.

>accept sociopaths cornering the market or leave
No thanks

>>2466746
Doors over there chud.

4.8 is running so bad it feels like a Vanduul took a big shit into the servers and then set it all on fire. And i cant even upgrade my rig because fps are mostly dependent on the server.

>>2466830
not related but im a stranger to the vanduul fanaticism a lot of people have. They look boring, they are boring.

Maybe I'll get excited about them if I ever play sq42? Is vanduul something from the old games or why is it such a big thing? Why are the aliens on SC so boring?

>>2466830
Aside from contracts lagging I've had a good time in Nyx. Its probably because of everyone setting their homes in Stanton and visiting Arccorp, and overloading the servers for those areas.
Given that a shard caps at 600 and Nyx/Pyro server pops are 20 at most, there's roughly 400-500 in Stanton. They'll be hitting 100 per server easily and thats never been playable even before server meshing.

>>2467013
I was trying to figure out where to settle in, might go Nyx this time. Are there multiple stations yet?

>>2467023
There are four service stations that you can choose as home. AFAIK no amenities at these except basic armor/guns shop.

>>2467023
Remember to be careful with using Levski though, they haven't fixed ships disappearing out from under you in the hangars.

>>2467023
Nyx service stations if you want to be close to all new content.

Pyro if you want peace and quiet. Easily the least pvp and if there is pvp - law of the jungle.

>>2467023
I would also mention that if you care about doing mining/crafting nonsense, Levski has all the best refinery bonuses. Makes it much easier when you can just drop everything at the same station instead of having to consolidate refined ores to whatever station you want to craft at

>leave hangar to go buy some basic gear after spawning in for the first time
>return to spaceport after buying gear
>lift refuses to take me to my hangar, just loops back around to the spaceport lobby
>look at asop terminal
>ironclad that was on the pad is now showing as unknown
>costs more than I have to claim it with the paint
And that's enough for me until they fix this pipe-cloggingly shit patch

>>2466926
Kilrathi were way cooler desu.

>>2467205
I lost polaris much the same way. 200k cause of paint, and remember - no ammo.

>>2467013
A reminder Chris has said he wants 10k player cap lol.

Thanks bros, I'm sold for this patch. Having everything in Nyx should make the Stanton Gate <> Nyx pirating loop easier.

>>2467090
I like Pyro, but between its size and the ironic peacefulness of it, I don't enjoy playing there much. Contested zones are nice on the stations and have lead to a few 11/10 pucker situations, but it's so hard to run into other players in organic situations I prefer Stanton

Pyro has the best planet ost tracks in the game though:

Pedro is actually a decent composer. I like that he is actually making BGM-tier melodic music rather than all the ambience slop we've been getting in games lately. I wish they'd pick up Jeremy Soule to compliment him.

>>2467269
Uhhhh... based department?

>>2467269
Its a nice goal to aim for, it depends on how small a server-area can be under DSM. Even QDSM could get a cap over 1k if the areas are smaller than currently.
He's also stated that if they can't do it then they'll move on without it.

>>2467205
This is why I stopped logging in on x.x.0 patches:

>mfw ragequit and contemplate going outdoors

>>2467409
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
We will NEVER reach 10k player servers. NEVER.

>>2467420
The game is ass. Everyone knows this. And everyone keeps on spending on jpegs.
Because the game isn't important to spenders. It never was.
What's important is saying you've got an idris and playing captain picard in your head.
The actual real game is secondary to that.
So they keep spending.
The game keeps getting worse.

>he thinks the game is even releasing

>>2467461
tbf, they fixed most of the bugs from when this greentext was made, this was from an old patch, 3.x, I believe. Or at least I hope they did. I might just be avoiding ingame prison at this rate. Either way, I perfected a system of getting out and back to Hurston orbiting station in 15 minutes (you can spawn 100i at the nearby emergency shelter that is supposed to only spawn ground vehicles)

>>2467483
>Or at least I hope they did
They didn't. You can still get a crime stat from that action. Your ship can despawn from anywhere. Bounties are broken as fuck. Killing guards nets you high crime stats that you cannot get rid of. You can only lower your crim stat at one place and it's often bugged to fuck. There are plenty of 24 hour jail sentences going around for high crime stats. 30k's were happening a lot last patch and you'll lose everything. Oh and missiles sometimes still don't work and won't lock.
>they fixed it
That's the point. Nothing has been fixed as of the last patch and there's no indication any of that has been fixed in 4.8.

>>2467370
Pyro is the real PvE area as I said earlier.

I dislike the shitty fantasy mad max aesthetic. Nyx is better in looking like a place people actually live in.

as for piracy, best thing is to look for whatever exploit or moneymaking scheme comes up and people swarm that. Gonna be a lot of traffic there.

I'm sympathetic to pvp fags so I'll give a potential exploit to check out if you get bored.
Places like QV stations and QVB stations exist in specific spots...
so, say - if you were to drop ships there, - like pulse that is small and cheap.

You could theoretically go check each one out to see if there are any friendly interactions to be had.

>>2467581
Dropping pulses sounds like a good idea. What ship are you vulturing in? I usually switch between corsair or connie for solo opportunistic pirating since you can load loot and head out.

>>2467650
Im a your regular pvevp. Call me a bob that figths back.

I just see opportunities I don't take. Also my larp is to be totally neutral party.
Ship I'd use depends completely on what im doing and how many people I have with me. Remember that Mantis eats up one guy if you want to do the traffic lanes.
All the pvpfags fly fighters, last time I got fucked I was on 2 man polaris against 6 fighters and perseus. (pirates like perseus to open caps)

Before that I was in 3 man polaris and we got away from similar gank by 360 noscope torpedo to the mantis trying to keep in range. Got away with 1 engine.

A lot of polaris really, its just too fucking convenient. If it didnt exist or it wasnt a loaner for me maybe id fly corsair, its probably my favorite ship overall.

>>2467283
Amplitude Studios are owned by SEGA.
>>2467262
But are they cooler than the Kzinti or Kzin
Who even owns the rights to Wing Commander.

>>2469029
They are not owned, just published a few games.

Managed to play a session today, grinding intersec. A lot of bugs.

Been playing a few contracts in nyx. Server is a little laggy, but have completed all contracts so far. Pulling up to a service station to rearm and repair

>>2469846
>>2469674

Docking didnt work on service stations, saw a lot of ships parked on landing pads and had to do the same.

>>2469898
I've had no problem using landing services for hangars, but I've never been able to use docking services successfully in Nyx. The docking port extends out, but never connects.

>>2467503
4.8 didn’t fix shit, it just broke more shit. Game runs worse and worse each patch. The raw server input output for the amount of players is fucked. They need all hands on deck to start at the beginning and fix the fundamental systems.

>>2470003
Try restarting docking

the player numbers must be fucked right now.

>>2470626
Everyone wants to see the new shit and to get a leg up on everyone else by making money

The new claim system made it so that polaris with just paint and full ammo is 260k to reclaim.
Considering torps used to be 500k, its nothing.

Claims also seem to be instant.

>>2470626
>>2471076
Oh and forgot, ofc also to grind intersec to open the strike group mission.

Gib m80

Do you guys think it'll be an interdiction heavy fighter? I'm grindan for a mantis, but would upgrade something to the m80 if it can outrun anything in dampened field

i am going to buy a perseus today, tiberon looks shit

i am also going to buy a TAC in 2 days because the ironclad is dog shit

>>2471271
You could combine your powers and get polaris.

Freefly cancelled

how easy is it to join this game as a complete noob and immediately kill ppl/blow ships up?

>>2471492
Its not hard, slightly tedious.
If you have someone show you the ropes its easy.
The main difficulty of the game is knowing all the workarounds to varoius bugs.

>>2471492
And most players are really bad, including most pvp players.

>>2471503
can you board a ship, kill the owner and steal ship?

>>2471508
Yeah.

>>2471508
Equip lasers and distortion, use lasers to get rid of shields, then use distortion to disable their ship.
Cutlass blue or mantis if you wanna keep them from leaving.
Not sure how the emp works, could you use that.

Also you can sneak up on people wheb they are stopped. Most people are super oblivious to danger.

Haven't heard anybody talk about this, but they're selling body kits for the Shiv on the pledge store.

It has a near 600 m/s afterburner scm making it almost as fast as the dedicated 325a interdiction fighter. I think there is a 30 m/s difference with the m80 being slower. This thing will make an excellent addition for group piracy play with a distortion/laser load out. Getting out of the ship is pretty quick too for transitioning to boarding. It kinda feels like a bigger Sabre with the weapon layout and repeaters

>>2472335
>head canon fantasy wank post
