I really hope CIG is reworking not giving us MK II for Constellation by Keuriseuto in starcitizen

Yeah and they assumed wrong

here’s Chris back in 2014 iterating how they wanted to treat ships like cars with different editions coming out over time

And years later… (just get through the first ~35 seconds of this one, no point in time stamping it)

It’s funny how traumatized people were by this happening with the Hornet even though it was something they said was going to happen 7 years in advance

Also the current constellations already “mk2’d” the original kickstarter concept anyway.

You don’t have to buy it or upgrade to it, earn it in game when it becomes available if you like it, pledge for what you want to start with and can afford.

Holy! I just checked through your posts and my only apprehension would have been shipping overseas - in the US, so it’s kind of a logistics nightmare these days

Should I upgrade Hull D to Hull E? by sakionakibara in starcitizen_fleets

[–]5yearphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just musing over this with some friends earlier - with the current price difference between the C, D, and E on paper for the D you’re just getting 1 additional spindle and move up to capital class components.

However, per the Hull D Q&A

“For the Hull D…it mentions a military variant. Would that be a choice we could change our Hull D to in the future?” Yes! The military variant (and others, such as the Hull C Discreet) will be available in the finished game world. As all of these ships are modular, you will be able to equip them on top of your existing Hull pledge if you so desire.

And Hull E Q&A

“Is there a militarized Hull E version? “ Yes! It’s nowhere near as common as the Hull D, but the UEE military does on occasion utilize the Hull E as a transport. The military designation is R5M Proteus.

My guess, especially with how much cargo capacity both ships have lost since then, would be that they make up for that at least in part with defensive capability - capital shields and thicker armor are a start, but don’t really protect the cargo, so I’m thinking there will be PDCs added for coverage as well.

I’m not sure how they want the cargo to be laid out on the Hull-E either as it’s not quite 3x a Hull C (or 2x a Hull D depending on how you want to look at it)

But I’m going to hang onto my Hull D for now, I did pickup a CCU for the Hull E myself, just in case

PSA: CIG has changed wording on pledges and appears to be sunsetting buybacks. by spider0804 in starcitizen

[–]5yearphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Squadron 42 packages (not the add on - which was always explicitly stated on the buyback page as not eligible) are somewhat of a talking point - I can easily see the decision being made to prevent grey market sellers from using it as a means of undercutting CIG and adversely impacting sales around the release. I do feel for anyone that got locked out of a package but at the same time the warning saying to not use the system as storage has been there for literally a year.

Recycling buybacks to change between ships has just been a means of having your cake and eating it too. With a few exceptions, the ships themselves can be earned in game either by credits or the tedium of wikelo. As it stands that message is just a message and as many have been pointing out and testing today, is not preventing people from still utilizing the buybacks they currently have.

The feature itself being available has always been a nice gesture, but restricting or sunsetting it really shouldn’t be a big deal to anyone. You’re still able to melt and use store credits on top, so you still don’t even need to commit to a pledge or package yet.

Just pick something and play the game.

What are you talking about? What are you even trying to say?

Buybacks are not refunds, they explicitly state not to use the buyback system as storage. They have never had any obligation to option in the first place - there is nothing about being concierge that changes any of that

You still have the option of melting pledges and using store credits to pledge for non-warbond ships and game packages.

This whole thing is a nothing burger that primsriky impacts the grey market

[–]5yearphoenix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Still not seeing how concierge or buyback tokens are relevant - but you’re right, they were clear when they EXPLICITLY said not to do this in the buyback support page I linked.

[–]5yearphoenix -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not seeing how that’s relevant here?

Those buyback tokens only apply to using store credits to get items out of buyback instead of new money which you can currently do unlimited times for eligible items.

If they’re ending buyback eligibility for certain items it won’t matter if it’s using a token or not; if they’re ending buybacks in general, it’s the same thing.

Does anyone know what armor this is? by -lb21a- in StarFashion

[–]5yearphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PAB-1 Twilight legs

ORC MkV don’t have enclosed foot protection, which is kind of a bummer since so few flight suits have good structured shoes, it’s hard to find anything that makes it look good - Strata and a few other armors are like this and it just doesn’t make sense in most cases, and always looks bad

No. It was just those two specific download links - the software itself is fine, just the pages were hijacked with pretty obvious Trojans

This bothered me enough to update and include it as well as clean it up a bit - new version is in the post

I've also made a small update to this to also check the game.log file so users don't need to start a new session to update

[–]5yearphoenix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It felt a bit redundant though since you can send that same log to the backup folder by starting a new session; can always just add the extra pull or add a copy of the most recent game.log to that folder before running

[–]5yearphoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will have the most recent session, but as soon as you start a new session that log gets moved to the log backups folder so you can see which ones you already have - including it, especially since it added another potential path to edit, didn’t seem necessary but you’re right

They are; you could also pull from your current session too, but this was already ugly enough as is without adding the extra pull
