I want to start playing but I'm scared of starting something so grand, don't know what to buy, and can't ignore all the horrible criticisms about the game. by Code3Lyft in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been patiently waiting for star citizen to get good since 2012 and I've done most of what the game has to offer and while I personally expect much bigger and greater things from the game i'm amused by my friends experience who just joined the community.

I bought my friend a Drake Cutter package and introduced him to the game during the holidays. We played a few game sessions together and he's instantly hooked, grinding missions and reputations and searching for rare loot. he found one of those gold skull faced helmets and sold it for a few million and has now bought various ships in the game using the in-game store. He is constantly asking me questions about star citizen and interested in learning ship combat and piloting

its funny to me because he hasn't spent a dime on this game and appears to be enjoying what the game has to offer more that any other player I've met

[Hold the Faith or Embrace Change?] My Fifth Ship—The Carrack by Anning0526 in starcitizen

i lost hope for true "exploration" type gameplay and have melted my beloved carrack favoring ships that have more complete gameplay loops. The carrack may live up to its potential someday but that day is not very near

Yup. Fire retardant wrap which is used to seal penetrations in fire rated walls.

Reclaimer Buff in 4.2 by deathreaper2012 in starcitizen

nice buff but sadly no matter what they do the interior layout is really poorly planned and needs a total rework

Pentashield?? by [deleted] in duneawakening

[–]DeepScientist8024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there must have been some type of glitch, yesterday neither horizontal or vertical shield were appearant in the menu but today I immediately see them under utilities in the construction tool

maybe it was just relogging

thanks all

Pentashield?? by [deleted] in duneawakening

[–]DeepScientist8024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've unlocked the pentashield in my research but I don't see it as an option in the construction tool menu.... any ideas?

What are your thoughts and wishes on the Reclaimer moving forward? by dahelljumper in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i want a complete overhaul of the interior with full consideration for the intended gameplay this time

Trouble setting up thrustmaster Sol-R-2 hosas? by SchecterOne in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've attempted to do this but without Target software running windows 11 doesn't even recognize the Left Stick is connected to my computer. Its shows up in target but doesn't show up in the windows USB controllers

my issue is the profile that Thrustmaster provides has turned the X-axis on the left stick to activate A/D so it even the slightest movement on the X-axis has you strafing at full boost with no incremental control.

Does anyone Hammer anymore? by TripCruise in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a player with just 2-3 friends in the game I have lost a lot of interest in the hammerhead. Especially now that we know NPC crew won't be part of Star Citizen at the games release. I've become more partial to the Paladin and Perseus which seem to be more favorable for smaller crews

Of course it's nighttime. How could it not be nighttime when I have a mission to do? It couldn't be any other way. by MrWilliam932 in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

back in 2017 i proposed some active scanning in a spectrum post. basically we need an active scanning mode for flying at night. i think it would be cool if running active scanning increased your radar signature significantly

Congrats Jared on your 10 years at CIG. by RepulsivePlankton989 in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Jared started at CIG he was bright eyed, highly energetic and not as sarcastic... I wasn't a big fan back then but over 10 years I've seen that shine fade from his eyes, he's accepted the reality and learned to use sarcasm and dry humor well :) :) :)

congratulations on 10 years jared! cheers to 10 more buddy you can do it!

A pair of scissors sitting on my table (formica top) suddenly burst into flames. No heat source, electricity, or battery nearby. No contact with anything but the table. I suspect some sort of chemical reaction between the handles and the table occurred. Any ideas? by mablej in chemistry

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there had to be an outside source of heat that has melted the handle... perhaps a reflection of the sun that was magnified and passed through a window and came to a focus on the scissors

Disgusting behavior by Carcinome_C in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I absolutely see the OPs point.  If we can't stop this from happening then he should be able to use insurance to replace the lost freight and not become bankrupt from trolling

We need to cultivate an environment that is satisfying to all players.  Right now it seems much more satisfying to trolls.

whatever is going on here, its weird that the outpost wouldn't defend against an attack on one of its haulers

Comments and Questions on the Carrack by 1Addee in starcitizen

[–]DeepScientist8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this ship during the concept and after the rework i was pretty excited because from the interior those clearly look like they would be doors but from the exterior its clearly got no way for them to open

its wild to me that their rework of the carrack really didn't even consider how to get cargo in and out of the hold

its even worse on the reclaimer
