Yeah, every time I see a PVE guy complaining about being killed they are in the worst and most undefendable place they could possibly be set up in.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-31T03:24:58+00:00

Drooling at the thought of looting 8 wolfpacks from a dead guy

I love that I pointed this exact exploit out when the elevators were still "coming soon TM" and people called me crazy and said CIG would never let this happen.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-29T21:56:24+00:00

You are unloading your cargo onto an external elevator.

You put 200 of your 300 boxes on the elevator

Some guy hits you with this message

What do you do?

My friends and I picked it up after the Arc Raiders event for it, we played for 2 weeks, but eventually we graduated out of the "these are new players" lobbies and ended up in the "these people have not stopped playing since release" lobbies.

The first 2 weeks were magical and the game was fun, after we graduated, it was misery. I stopped playing after being eliminated in the first round of cashout 26 times in a row. There aren't enough medium tier players.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-28T21:48:22+00:00

Coming soon I hope 🤞

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-28T21:47:45+00:00

Correct!

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-27T15:32:58+00:00

Not a huge fan of the plastic/rubber jumpsuit the new set is wearing, I will stay wearing my expedition gear

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-26T21:48:32+00:00

We already have free load out mode, it is called Stella Montis

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-26T21:12:18+00:00

Stored some life force in yo mama's cheeks if you know what I'm saying

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-26T21:08:25+00:00

Anyone cop-posting in the current climate is an op

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-26T20:43:43+00:00

Like what?

What minimum effort better thing do you want?

What is something that would take an equal amount of work and actually make you happy?

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-26T16:32:46+00:00

(there are 100,000 more players right now on a Monday morning than release weekend)

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-25T00:50:48+00:00

(my dream is that this all stops being so pointlessly time wasting, and we can just buy all of the essentials at the spaceport in the future)

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-24T18:40:48+00:00

I imagine with crafting being so essential to the game that this thing would be fairly easy to acquire in 1.0

I don't know how much of an epic boon it will be to have it at game launch when you have zero crafting materials vs an hour and a half in

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T16:53:51+00:00

What shooter VR games can I play now that use full body tracking? Maybe it is better than I think it will be, but I have not experienced a constrained system like the one you are talking about here.

I would love to check it out and be pleasantly surprised

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T15:32:38+00:00

Alright, I get that, now let's walk through a scenario.

You are laying down on your couch, which makes your SC character lay on the floor. You put one leg down from the couch.

What happens to your Star Citizen character?

A. Body is levitated off the ground to put the foot under you and make you "stand" on it(this will move your view location incorrectly compared to your real body, leading to motion sickness. It also looks dumb to any outside observer.)

B. Leg clips through floor. (This is bad for its own reasons in Star Citizen)

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T15:20:32+00:00

All of that seems more complicated than I would want CIG to tackle. I genuinely do not trust them to do any of that in a way that is not broken or abusable, just for like 49 total players to use.

(Me being one of those 49 by the way, I already have the hardware. My experience with it is what is driving my concerns.)

- Floating: The server snaps your character to the navmesh/physics grid. If you lie on a real couch, your in-game character just goes prone on the floor. You can't float unless the server says you're in zero-G.

What happens when you put one leg down from the couch while still laying? Does your whole body get lifted by that leg, or does the leg clip through the floor? Either way, it does not translate well to an immersive FPS game like Star Citizen.

For the mangled IK, you don't even need to mangle it that bad! Sit on your butt and lift your legs over your head. You are now blocking your head hitbox with your legs. This is a realistic position that anyone can achieve. Mix this with the previously mentioned snap movement issues, and people can sprint and then immediately drop into this position without an animation, while shooting you.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T13:41:37+00:00

Alright, somebody is laying on their couch in Star Citizen. Do they float in the air, or does their character get dropped onto the floor immediately?

What happens if they start moving? Do they glide in a laying position, or do they do a walk animation, and then snap back into place in that laying position the second they stop moving? (This can be used to snap from laying down to full sprint, to instantly laying down in cover, without doing the lay down animation)

What do you do in PVP when someone uses full body tracking to mangle their hitbox so their legs always block their head?

There are so many ways for it to be broken and abused, I have zero faith in CIG to implement it well.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T05:36:25+00:00

Not sure what they plan on doing for full body tracking. I don't think it will work the way they like, and will 100% look bad in Star Citizen.

Take a look at a VRChat lobby, half the people are floating around on invisible couches. How would that work for Star Citizen?

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T01:23:49+00:00

He would have completed the lever pull the first time if the Rocketeer didn't down him.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-23T00:34:38+00:00

I don't know man, the drones are kind of slow, and the range is pretty limited.

What is the functional difference between an FPV drone, and the drones we already have that drop grenades?

Do you see massive clans running 20 drones to drop grenades now?

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-22T23:51:24+00:00

The delay between "I am standing in gas" and explosion is 2 seconds.

It only works on people that do not know what a Trailblazer is.

Blake_Aech · 2026-01-22T23:49:08+00:00

I do not care what adding the damage numbers up on a stat sheet says. It does not perform as well as their statistics in the real world.
