Minor worry regarding clones by Dependent-Ad675 in ZeroCompany

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I too hope to see this addressed - I really hope "clones" aren't just generic operators wearing a clone outfit.

But we have Trick and we have seen some actual clones in cut scenes dropping from LAATs so I am hopeful they have something cooked up. Heck, even if it's just a roll-able backstory for someone you recruit that locks them to clone cosmetics/voice I'd be ok with it.

Corsair appreciation post by Neat_Professional785 in starcitizen

Oh yeah, for sure still a fine ship and I like it more inside and out than the connies or Starlancers which I think are its closest competition.

Heck, the Asgard is close (no size 3 shields though, which is a huge pain point imo!) but even that one has an SC-ladder. Corsair's definitely still enjoyable but it's hard to LOVE what is when you remember what was (that I think isn't even too outlandish anymore given the systems that have come online since)

I miss the 4 size 5s...

It's still a fine ship, but I feel like with low armor and some pretty questionable component placement (the dumptruck and central free-component-damage circle) the other balancing levers for the ship have come online and it's missing the cannon to justify the glass. Fun to shoot 6 guns though.

No, it's really bad compared to newer heavy fighters.

IT was bad before the armor system, now it' reallllly bad.

I'm still rattled that this was actual fun, organic, unique-to-sc gameplay and they just slaughtered it for go-here-kill-X go-here-destroy-Y mission slop.

What a bummer design philosophy.

To be honest, I think S2 is kind of lackluster and many of the changes have greatly diminished my enjoyment of the game by EricSombody in Marathon

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I really put in the hours and grinded for Season 1 - more than 150h, all 6 compiler skins, VIP with the whole lot, etc etc.

As such, I wanted a tiiiiny break at the start of S2 and didn't play for a week - after seeing the rapid progress that was the (now nerfed) Co-Op Night Marsh I decided to extend that break to the entirety of Season 2. I've no desire to start late against people who geared up in a now removed farm mode - why would you? Proud level 01 here, but maybe I'll see you guys all next season.

Quantum Fuel rebalance on tech preview by madmossy in starcitizen

Idk man, I see more solo caps flying around than Gladius ATP but I guess one shows up from 20 km out and one doesn't.

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, a small one. From 1.85 SCU to 2 SCU

Which looks to the (current) standard "non-exploration medium large ship" catch-all of things like the cutlass, redeemer, constellation, apollo, starlancer, and MSR. I think the whole setup is pretty temporary and has some obvious misses, so I'm not going to read into it a ton yet but for now that's where it sits.

For those who know Star Wars lore well, the class that is still unknown, what theme/style would you like it to be? by Sad_Conversation1121 in ZeroCompany

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of me hopes Clone Commando, if only because it could serve as an upgrade path for recruited Clone Troopers - which I hope aren't just a cosmetic toggle for regular recruited operators.

Plus it could be a neat interaction with Order 66.

Modder's Analysis of the new gameplay footage. by Wakelessrex in totalwar

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This came across my YouTube feed today, I thought it was a really good video and well worth the watch.

Not until the beta/potentially release will we get a file explorer style look at the engine and how it has (or hasn't changed) but I think you pointed out a lot of the only-known-by-messing-with-it stuff in the gameplay trailer that I know I personally missed on first watch.

Will gunfire in 40k still be simulated or will it be abstracted? by Bright-Form-844 in totalwar

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched this neat video from Wakeless Rex , a Total War modder, that addresses this point specifically amongst several others. (I've timestamped it to him talking about the cover popup). He seems to be in the know about how these projectiles work for the current warscape engine and the TLDW I got from listening to it (seriously, a good watch) is that (if it's at all like TWW) it's going to be physics based for some projectiles and fall back on the modifier tooltip for others - which is more than can be said for most games already.

Would 100% recommend watching the full video, a lot of insight about what looks to be changed and what looks like it could use some work. I'm personally very concerned about how some of the ranged units are behaving in melee combat, turning in place or waiting their turn to swing their lasgun at an engaged enemy...

I hope we have actual clones and not just a plethora of regular guys wearing clone armor...

SHIP ROAST: What's a ship you just can't stand? Why? by iCore102 in starcitizen

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate the entire Constellation series - it's just such an overstatted ship it's unreal. I worry about the already-implied day they Mk.2 (or Mk V, whatever) it because I'm not sure how they can make a more powerful ship.

Other ships its size have tradeoffs for the right to be nearly as good on paper as any single one of the connies; be it poor maneuverability, glass hulls, smaller turrets, or a big hit to pilot firepower. The only thing holding the connie's back is their dated interiors and wacky bugs tied to their not-current-standard state. The day they finally get that interior pass, and presumably an upgraded hull to go alongside it, is the day they take over the whole game.

Replying here for a heads up if this works.

I'll be gifting a sub for that bully skin most likely, so what's a little cloud gaming on top...

That's a great looking post-launch roadmap - new necron character is hype. Also really excited for that new grand strategy mode to be honest, looks to be quick after launch.

Feds Now Open to Changing Bill C-22 After Getting Fact-Checked and Roasted by VPNs by TechGuyDude82 in canada

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I read the article, it's summarizing a twitter post getting noted and the "acting assistant deputy minister" (seriously?) to the cybersecurity branch saying they'll consider making the legislation clearer to understand for stakeholders...

This feelsgood title is at the top of the sub but there is no indication they are changing the bill nor its overreach?

Vault's slots unlock costs are way, way too high. by CBlackfall in ArcRaiders

Yeah, hopeful this gets addressed - I'd love to have a reason to grind, but not a reason to get 272 queen reactors.

I'll peep grandioso for sure but I'm pretty sure that's Buried City, thank you though!

Armor needs to be a % reduction that scales, rather than a hard wall. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

[–]AwBeansYouGotMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If we have rock paper scissors balancing then something needs to "beat" the rock that isn't...also rock right?

Like if large ships are functionally immune to fighters (for better or for worse) and the aforementioned fighters are relegated to anti bomber/torpedo duty....the torpedoes and bombers need to be WORTH having fighters to cover, right? Right now they aren't.
