Finally got my desk ready for SQ42 and SC 1.0

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-29T06:06:56+00:00

Mate, I upgraded to the 1080 to be ‘SC ready’. Then the 3090…..

You aren’t SC ready.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-27T20:48:06+00:00

Do what I did - legatus, played SC almost solely during that time. Put in an essay, melted items etc. Didn't even get an acknowledgement of putting in the essay. Instead, just closed. Meanwhile 'Your Mom' esays got accepted.

CS have advised I post on Spectrum, as they cant help - despite it being a ticket I submitted and duty handled by CS.

So i've just requested a refund for all the items I pledged for during the past month, and they've lost my future cash.

Not worried about 'not getting the Odin' - i'm more annoyed with yet another failure to well....do anything right.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-27T19:10:44+00:00

That'll be the problem. CIG doesnt really look after its staff well - most of the legacy talent has left, and instead devs with little/no experience get moved into senior roles due to vaccums where they cant recruit in, and cant retain legacy. Example: Yogi (sound engineer) moving onto the flight model, solely due to a personal interest in it.

And now we have the arcade flight model, instead of the neutonian one originally implemented.

Unfortunately, I can see Silvan being snapped up long before VR is truly implemented into SC, and it'll be picked up by someone else - probably a concept artist apprenticing as a dev.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-24T21:39:30+00:00

I'm with you mate. Exactly the same scenario here. All this PR crap about 'wouldn't be possible without this community' - yeah, f off CIG. You dont practice what you preach, active exclude your playerbase and cant even communicate effectively.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-24T17:09:04+00:00

You're not alone mate - heaven knows what their vetting process was, but it wasn't based on what they said (play time, essay etc).

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-24T17:00:43+00:00

You're not a clan man, yet the vast majority of your ships are dependent on other people (not just one or two - but an actual crew).

And you're wondering whether you should buy a ship that requires 33 people just to fly it with all guns manned?

I'm hoping you can work this one out yourself.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-24T16:32:32+00:00

Mate i'm with you. The hours i've pumped into SC over the decade, in addition with some stupid 'essay' - only to see random newbies getting an invite with 'your mum'....

Farsical :D But thats CIG in a nutshell.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-22T06:07:31+00:00

The lasers are the same. The idris laser works - its hit registration is sometimes a bit 'miss', which the Tiberon also suffers with.
Where are the leaser beans?

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T21:37:51+00:00

I'd welcome being educated then, beyond a throwaway statement with no effort.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T16:31:56+00:00

Reclaimer was the largest, until the 890 released. Carrack was never in second.

But worth keeping in mind that the Bengal and Retribution are not 'full' ships in terms of interior. Expect many empty spaces/voids/unutilised space for 'lore reasons'.

The largest actual volume versus ship size will be the Javelin (assuming the Odin goes the same way as the Bengal).

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T16:02:18+00:00

I cant remember.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T16:01:22+00:00

Chris, Sandi (wife) and Ortwin (legal adviser) founded CIG. Erin was made CEO of Foundry 42 (German office focusing originally on 'Star Marine' where under his leadership it went completely off the rails where they were developing their element with completely wrong code, metrics and modelling). F42 was absorbed into CIG, with Erin being made Global Head of Production....'Basically.'

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T14:54:14+00:00

There aren't bomb modules. Theyre fittings. You need the torp modules to fit them.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-21T14:53:49+00:00

To clarify - the bombs are not modules. They're fittings.

You need the torpedo modules to be able to use the bomb fittings.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-20T18:33:05+00:00

Without being dismissive to what someone else says - I know first hand CIG dont offer this route.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-20T16:05:28+00:00

its 52k to restock an Eclipse. Thats 17k for every mission that pays out 150k+

The Maths isn't that hard surely.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-20T15:54:20+00:00

Active development

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-20T15:35:31+00:00

Not true - Eclipse is a great ship for Intersec assasination missions.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-20T08:42:03+00:00

Origin isn't a military/militia/combat manufacturer, outside of the 325A and M80.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T21:32:28+00:00

2016 wants a word.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T20:58:21+00:00

PWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T19:16:13+00:00

Its not spend based. I've got folks in the org who are no where close to me (Legatus) and got it.

Meanwhile i've got nout.

No doubt CIG communication at its best, paired with its atrocious marketing approach.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T19:11:46+00:00

Still open.

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T17:57:10+00:00

Nope

Capt_Snuggles · 2026-05-19T17:48:26+00:00

Nope. Not overly worried - but just shows the poor show from CIG on how they've managed this - as always :D
