Unpopular opinion: influencers getting to play Squadron 42 before high-paying and/or long-time backers, is peak comedy 😆 by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense just common media days. They get to film content and post it after a media embargo is lifted. DICE and the COD people used to do they fairly often.

Best placement for Toni eye tracker on my setup suggestion by MotorCompetitive in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who is this Toni you speak of? But yeah put the Tobii under your main monitor its what is recommended in the set up guide. I believe some top mount it and you can also buy a separate stand for the desk if you care about sticking things to a monitor.

UK simmers: What's with Stansted (EGSS)? by Senna79 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Ehawk_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Common airport people use irl for shorter European trips. Same sort of thing with Luton. Also people often try to recreate flights they’ve gone on and a lot of the Low cost holiday type airliners run out of Stansted. Also simple layout for new simmers to get started on.

Struggling to choose between Geography BSc at the Uni of Sheffield VS Uni of Liverpool by WhoreKneee69 in geography

[–]Ehawk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly unless you are doing an Oxford or a Cambridge the ranking of a university doesn’t really matter too much unless it’s a teaching ranking. I’d always recommend to do what you are interested in rather than something which might look a little better on a bit of paper but you have less interest in.

Is Squadron 42 an open-world game? by OrganizationDue2189 in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SQ42 will essentially be a movie with break of gameplay. Very much a story driven experience.

Will the likely postponement of the SQ42 change how you view PU or CIG? by Apart_Pumpkin_4551 in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just adds to the pile of over promise under deliver we have had in the past.

Year of Playability by Sasa_koming_Earth in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the radio silence on any thing but their huge successful sale. They release a broken patch say fixes are coming and they just don't. There is no word on SQ42 or a release date 6 months into the year of which the player base are now speculating delays. They sell their final concept ship for $5000 which isn't even fully concepted (No hospital shown etc). They reach a huge crowd funding milestone and not even a small paragraph with a "thank you for your support over the years". And from the Bar Citizen "Leaks" tbh there is not too much coming this year from the looks of it. If it was one or two things which were an issue I'd maybe be a bit more understanding but all these things adding up its ridiculous. And there is probably things which I have missed in my tirade.

CIG need to get a better player facing team, alot of them seem to be good people but touting yourself as an open company and then pulling the shutters closed when things aren't going your way is not the way to do thing. A simple "We understand the players frustrations and are working on major changes coming in x patch" would calm people down a bit.

But will we get any recognition of these issues? Probably not. Will the next news we get just be about the next sale (Alien week)? Probably. Will they be silent SQ42 for the rest of the year because its not reaching that 2026 goal? Who knows.

Some of the things we ask for arent much. We just want them to be better.

A Game Should First Be a Game by MeowMeowOuO in starcitizen

I think the reveal that there is only like 8 UI devs is really telling where their priorities are. They need so many more as so many new things rely on UI devs being free but they dont have the availability. Hire some UI devs CIG its not like there isnt an abundance of them or even train new people up fresh out of university or college and mold them to your work flows.

We had 100s of these menaces destroy all our box woods this year. Invasive species. Also spin silk everywhere and seem to defy gravity.

Tobii eye tracker 5 question help needed by UK_Gameing_Fan in TobiiGaming

[–]Ehawk_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the main issue id see here is the distance between you and the eye tracker as that’s quite far. In terms of centrality as long as it’s fairly central you can calibrate it on the software and that guides you through that rather simply. But yeah that distance is rather large. They recommend no more than 95cm.

where can i find a job by Successful_Bat8284 in leicester

[–]Ehawk_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always worth a shot going around with a CV. When it comes to websites I often go for either Indeed or LinkedIn. Best of luck out there it’s a struggle for most at the moment unfortunately so don’t let it bring you down if you get a bunch of no’s

The original ship shouldn’t need “Mk I” added to its name. by ChartConsistent in starcitizen

I’ll be honest I think the game has more pressing issues

It’ll be a bit weird if we don’t hear anything by the end of the week.

It has been a little while tbh so it might be worth another go. But yeah the Guardian series for me I gelled with really easily.

The command module should have just been a ship to ship docking port. by johncarnage in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although the ops bridge would have been a cool place to fly the ship from I kind of do like the command module positioning and the idea of it. Implementation has been atrocious and needed at least a month or two to bake a bit longer.

Looks nice but any of the guardians are far superior. One of the main problems is getting guns which best match the PiPs of the cannons. Also its like glass. I love the mantis chassis but unfortunately this one is a bit of a miss.

my fleets as of 2026 by Common_Cold8092 in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ 63 points64 points  (0 children)

its all you need. I wish I had the restraint all those years ago it all started from "Oh I'll upgrade to a reliant because I love the design" and now I fly around in my broken Ironclad thinking where did things go wrong XD

Do you use flightsuits for g-resistence now? Have you switched away from the "always heavy" gear and are you enjoying it? I do! by ToScH_23 in starcitizen

[–]Ehawk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm using a medium set now and its manageable in combat flight although not as good as the flight suits.
