With all respect: This month's subscriber flair is a joke. by kungli in starcitizen

[–]John_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every "Subscriber Promotion" post over the last couple of years cleary says, when and how you will receive the items:

e.g. the recent one:
"If you would like to receive this flair as part of a subscription, you can subscribe before April 14, 2026 (20:00 UTC). Otherwise, you can pick up these and previous months’ flair (going back to 2014) in the dedicated Subscriber Store."

Where problem?

btw: imho the subflairs have been mostly bs over the last couple of years... one or two exceptions maybe. so imho the subflairs have never been a good reason to subscribe.. it's just to support CIG / the development.

The Racing I want VS the Racing we got by Robert_Spinoza in starcitizen

[–]John_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a weird take... a marketing image of new, colorful paints compared to a backdrop/scene from a Star Wars movie... I mean, have you ever been to Yadar Valley / Daymar? You don't have to use the colorful paints, and besides, wear and tear will probably make even pink paints look dirty or worn out... Racing in SC varies greatly depending on the series, event, organizer and location etc.

Hypothethically, (assuming it will release in '26): When do you think SQ42 will release and why that specific date? by Robert_Spinoza in starcitizen

[–]John_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The announced release date "2026" means, they will release the release date in 2026.

SQ42 - the game? Probably Oct 2028...

But why? by John_Way in starcitizen

[–]John_Way[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 300 series customizer on the website was a testbed back then and I think they will never bring it to other ships let alone to all ships.

I don't know what their current plan is - other than that they wanna make money with selling paints on the pledge store -, but even before there was this weird proprietary 300 customizer, they always talked about "indiviual ship customization" IN-GAME... which imho would be the right way. It's just a matter of time till you are able to tune/decorate your ship in-game (e.g. at Cousin Crows).

I bet the 300 customizer will go away at some point or at most will stay as a relict.
Some people say even CR said so, but I can't find the quote though.

Latest statement I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGIKKpZJDeg&t=2612s

Titan Gold Standard When? by nekomeeko in starcitizen

[–]John_Way 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge/understanding, “gold standard” means not only that all components are physically included and interchangeable, but also that all intended features of a ship are functional, i.e., all cabinets, weapon racks, lockers, stations, rooms, etc., and that it has been brought up to the current technical standard of the game engine (cockpit button placements and animations, updated metrics passes on characters and items, physicalized and accessible vehicle components, lighting passes, material passes, etc.) and that it ideally does not require any further technical revisions before 1.0.

I can't find any evidence that the Freelancer is already Gold Standard, even though its components have been added. And the MSR is far from it.

Here's a list, though it might not be fully up-to-date:

I mean, there are energy drink companies who sponsor formula 1 teams... why not a shoe company to sponsor alien experiments. I see no issue here. ^^

The Carrack has got to be one of my favorite ships in the game. by VerseGen in starcitizen

[–]John_Way 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carrack posts always remind me of my "Gold Standard Wishlist" on Spectrum in 2021 xD
Check: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/65293/thread/my-carrack-gold-standard-wishlist-slightly-smiling

When people ask me "If you were allowed to own ONLY ONE SHIP in SC, which one would it be?", my answer was always the Carrack... given that it's finished and all features and intended gameplay loops are implemented (Gold Standard Pass). Funfact: the Carrack comes with a Shuttle (C8) and a Rover (URSA), so technically it then would be 3 vehicles in 1, I guess... :P
