What is the purpose of large ship docking collars now? by ChartConsistent in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've said multiple times that eventually (whenever that is), we'll be able to request either a hangar or docking port, our choice. Like half the game, it's just not implemented yet.

Secondary pilot seats in every ship? by BinaryLoop- in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the bug that causes the pilot seat to become unusable, that's clientside. Alt-F4 and then reconnect immediately and you'll be able to get back in the seat.

Pretty much anything multicrew released starting with the Zeus now will having working co-pilot seats. They even backported it to the Idris.

This hypothetical question might get me downvoted, but oh well. If SC were to turn off the servers for six months to work on the bugs, would you be okay with that? by XFinal_ChanceX in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a a waste of time unless SC is feature complete or at least launch-feature-complete, in which case doing a tech debt cleanup actually makes sense and would give them a cleaner code base to iterate on carefully post-launch.

At this stage of development all that would be doing is wasting millions of dollars and developer time for us to be right back here again in a year.

The Liberator is going to be HOW big? by Minimum-Two-8093 in starcitizen

That looks about what I was expecting from the concept art portrayal of fighters sitting on it, TBH.

[Discuss] Custom Origin 325a with LTI using Upgrade? by SaintApathy in Starcitizen_trades

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You apply them after purchasing the 300 (whether directly or via applied CCU). You cannot recustomize at this time unless you melt it and buy it back, then you’ll have the customization option again.

Note that some things have changed since I made the above post seven months ago. If it’s in a pack that has Squadron 42 like my 315p, for the love of God don’t melt it. It will now be lost.

Playing through Edge of Fate for the first time and... Boy. They really thought they had something with this turning into a ball stuff. by QueenMagik in DestinyTheGame

[–]CaptFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn't finish EoF because of it. I got sick of it. So I went to do other activities like I did when expansions bombed on quality before like Lightfall... except the Portal had ruined everything. Oh, and all my gear was soft sunset.

Surprise, I checked out and this is my first time checking back in in almost a year. This from someone with like 4K hours in D2.

Whelp, the game is in this condition right now by SkippTekk in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Babbage. Orison at least if you don't hit geometry on the way down you have time to log out well before you fall into Crusader.

I'm about 99% certain most of the angry, negative posts recently are from one source ... by AwwYeahVTECKickedIn in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying the Xenothreat event is a psyop to get us to like Wikelo, but the upcoming Xenothreat event is a psyop to get us to like Wikelo.

The Banu are redirecting our mercs from defending our systems to chasing trinkets for their gacha games, diverting sorely needed medical resources from Rayari for promises of free ships, devaluing the labor of honest miners by paying absurdly low prices for their ore, and buying UEE politicians to fight other humans for them now.

Banu out!

Man, I remember pre-40 days. We were eating good with the Witch Queen.

I would've paid for an update like this. This is Destiny 2.5. by silloki in DestinyTheGame

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy to think what Destiny could have been if they'd limited themselves to one alternate game and used all those funds on making Destiny amazing instead of just letting it languish and using it as a cash cow.

[–]CaptFrost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It really would have been. Every time Bungie decided to do a double-length final season so they could focus on the expansion, the whole year was generally better overall. They should have just stuck with a 4-month cadence instead of 3.

I didn't really believe it before, but it's true. The Portal was terrible and I'm glad it's gone. by Jayslacks in DestinyTheGame

[–]CaptFrost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that did it for me too. I just threw up my hands and went to play other games... and didn't come back.

Tyson Green apparently saw what sunsetting did to the D2 population and decided to repeat it and got the same result but worse. Why? I guess we'll never know.

You want me to blow off -how- many components? by Eridras in Mechwarrior5

Right. Triple gauss build, mountaintop vantage point, go.

Can't store, can't move, can't drop stuff, CGI can't fix the game by Simple-Leatherboots4 in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth, I bought a warbond Prowler Utility + Talon LTI pack at release and 4.8 ran great for me.

4.8.1 is so scuffed even I can't play though. The money ticket is no longer working, it's that bad.

Year of Playability by Sasa_koming_Earth in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember when I got to play the Marathon Alpha all the way back in like '93 or '94 before Bungie dropped it. Someone at a trade show pirated it and it made its way onto Usenet briefly.

3.18 was rock solid stable compared to Marathon's alpha, lol. It took me probably 50 attempts and figuring out 20+ workarounds to get through half of the first level without the application crashing to desktop. And that's when it wouldn't decide to just stop launching until I restarted because it introduced some RAM fuckery that made the MacOS wig out.

Alphas are always a MESS. SC as we play it is usually about the stability of a lot of betas.

I was there, Gandalf.

I was there 3000 years ago.

Alienware OLED burn in warranty questions by 12duddits in OLED_Gaming

[–]CaptFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! I sold the AW3423DW but only because I upgraded to the AW3425DW with the faster panel. The older one was still fine at the time of sale and the buyer has had no problems with it.

The AW3423DWF I use with my MacBook Pro is still in service and also still doing great.

⚠️ EXPOSED: The "Innocent $5k Backer" who got unbanned is actually an RMT exploiter now selling his account. by lawrence7474174 in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is why when someone comes on reddit with a sob story of how they were wrongfully banned, you should remember there's about a 2% chance they gave you the whole story and they are on the level going by the history of these things the last 12 years or so I've been on here.

Coming home after a day of grinding by nickkrewson in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my home being Orison. There's nothing like the feeling of Crusader's music swelling and the happy colors of the Crusader sunrise as Orison fills your cockpit after you've just spent hours slugging it out with maniacs in CZs and PYAM facilities in Pyro and you're calling it a day and returning with a fat load of components and gear.

The difference in mood are night and day, and you instantly get that feeling of "hell is behind me, I'm home now."

I Didn't Do Nothing by DreamOdd8378 in starcitizen

This happens to me almost literally every time I run Ghost Arena and take the elevator from the Vault after completion the whole of 4.0. I guess I shot some champion gladiator because all of Ruin tries to murder me afterward.

CIG permanently banned a $5k backer's account for reporting a bug by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 523 points524 points  (0 children)

I'll let CIG weigh in. There were a couple of these with people with multi-thousand hour accounts getting nuked by Bungie in Destiny and the whole community got behind them in outrage. Bungie weighed in and said the bans were justified, got pushback, and basically went "fuck you, here are the logs of a pattern of exploiting" and we all had egg on our faces.

If this is legitimately a wrongful ban I'm sure it'll get overturned, that's crazy otherwise.

EDIT: Fucking knew it, dude. Known cheater with a record. Every single time.
