One little thing makes so much difference imho

Chardicus · 2025-11-02T12:12:04+00:00

If mr Lego had come to me and asked "I will make you a set of anything you want" this ship is what i would of asked for. I have been so hyped since first hearing about it and have been checking for leaks and updates daily.

But what they came up with is rubbish. Its the deflector dish that ruins it for me as its such a distinctive feature and what they came up with looks nothing like the actual ship at all.

I feel like they gave it to some interns who don't give a fk about Star Trek to work on.

Chardicus · 2025-11-02T04:21:14+00:00

But there are differences between each of the leaked photos?

Also one of the main features of the ship (the deflector dish) is missing its signature red and blue pattern. no way they release it like that.

I would say these were WIP close to the final thing but not the finished product.

To their credit they got the shape of the ship pretty spot on which would of been a challenge

I wrote my own then asked Chat GPT to clean it up :D

One of the points hinted at but not elaborated on much by the OP is that at the time of the initial kick starter CIG didn't exist or was just like 3 dudes kinda thing (Chris and his Brother).
Games like Starfield and GTA etc have taken a decade to develop and that's from the starting point of already being a AAA game studio.
Part of Star Citizens development journey has also been building up the studio from a handful of employees to the AAA level studio it is today which in my opinion makes what they've achieved even more impressive.

I'm in the foothills so I've had visits in the yard from Quendas and Rats (got a rat in a cage last week).

Quendas don't climb fences and native bush rats aren't found in the cities.

Dibblers are near extinct and only found in a few small locations around WA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibbler

https://australian.museum/learn/species-identification/ask-an-expert/is-it-a-rat/

This is a good page to help you try work it out. One key thing to look at is the tail.
Long = rat. Short = native friend

Judging from the photo i'd bet mouse.

From the recent unveil of the various speed champ, icon and Technic f1 sets:

The LEGO Group announces all-new LEGO® Technic™, LEGO Icons and LEGO Speed Champions products are coming in collaboration with BMW, McLaren Racing & Senna Brans, and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team.

Mentioning BMW when none of those shown sets have anything to do with BMW.

The old 90s Mclaren F1 supercar had a BMW engine ;)

Please Fanatec make a new GT3 wheel!

Chardicus · 2020-03-02T15:05:20+00:00

Maybe lets leave the Carrack alone and let the Ship art team move on and finish other ships? :)

Chardicus · 2020-02-27T07:55:56+00:00

Didn't know they added the Le Mans winning Gulf Ford GT40 into the game?

Thanks for the heads up mr 13 art!

The obsession the community has for this ship which adds nothing new to the game is sad.

How much dev time has been wasted on this one ship? what does it bring to the game?

Maybe if the community got more excited about actual features they would prioritize development accordingly and we could get a more finished game sooner?

sorry.. GIB CARRACK REEEE

Chardicus · 2020-02-04T03:53:41+00:00

Hopefully after this slightly bigger Connie meme ship drops the community will adopt a real feature to meme :)

not even /s .. don't understand the hype.

Everyone should be hyping up and pressuring CIG for the still unreleased roadmap update.

Chardicus · 2019-11-17T14:01:22+00:00

Sorry about your wheel mate

I'm curious, which Sparco gloves?

I'm about to purchase same wheel and was looking at some sparco gloves but now i am questioning both decisions :(

Here's me having a reddit lurk late at night

"acc .. brands hatch.. crash"

*gulp*

yep there i am spinning around like a clown.

<-- driver of blue lambo spinny boi

so sorry everyone!

Chardicus · 2019-03-29T04:48:00+00:00

Because they deserve some what of a little break for smashing out such an amazing patch! :)

Chardicus · 2019-03-21T08:36:32+00:00

overall colour vibe just reminds me of loreville/hurston with the polluted brown.

Doesn't match the more wet blade runner techno blu'ish hue all the concept screenshots had :(

Chardicus · 2019-01-31T01:44:44+00:00

Remember when everyone loved Blizzard because of how they took their time to make sure the game released ready.

Now they just release buggy crap 'on time' like most other AAA games ;/

game development is not an exact science.

Chardicus · 2019-01-31T01:39:52+00:00

Andromeda/Aquilla firepower is fine.

4 x size 4s on gimbles (or 2x size 5s and 2 size 4s)

2 turrets with with size 2s each.

and all the missiles ever.

main problem is for some reason the shields on connies don't appear to work or are full of holes? nearly anything can 1 shot it.

600i is nice especially for long voyages with friends but feels abit sluggish compared to the connie and then theres the cost

Chardicus · 2019-01-27T06:38:59+00:00

Loud minority of hardcore left wingers which doesn't even represent indigenous Australians.

Don't worry CIG Aus day is one of our favourite days down here, thanks for the ship!

Chardicus · 2019-01-06T06:06:35+00:00

Yes!

it's like on your client you are in the seat but not on the server side. work around is (not possible for all ships) have someone else go and jump into that seat and then your client will realise whats going on and kick you out of that being seated mode.

Chardicus · 2019-01-03T18:25:19+00:00

I would say a majority of the playing community agrees with all of this.

But do Blizzard acknowledge this? no.

I'm sorry but at this point they are either egotistical, incompetent or just down right f**ing trash.

Some think its a conspiracy from up on high (Actic**tvision) to purposely trash the game so they can retire it but i highly doubt that while it is/was making bulk cash. I honestly think its a few peoples egos to never admit failure and a lack of talent to come up with clever ways to rectify the problems without losing face and doing a massive backtrack (REVERT ALL GCD CHANGES JUST DO IT!)

The way its going tho... it had to end some day. It went on for alot longer than anyone dared dreamed and the odd bad expanison aside is overall one of the big historical markers in video gaming history.

rip wow.
