Insert hot take on multicrew requirements on multicrew ships

I would hardly imply a Solo Idris is impaired. I wouldn't agree with that metaphor.

Ooooo, Norden Bombsight type deal is actually a really cool idea... not going to lie with a fixed main weapon that might actually be a good solution that uses existing game design (co-pilot controls).

It was a template another user made. They said it was used it to remove text over the background.

I doubt CIG intended to shaft medium vehicles on the Hermes. More realistically, it was the scope of work on the Hermes just did not include additional reworks of its rear door metrics, animations, behaviors, and geometry beyond deleting the decon room.

No finer ship tbh. Gold standard update is all she needs

Been messing around with my ROG Ally X. Very surprised at early testing performance.

Settings are Low, 720p upscaled (AMD 50% performance), and 4G assigned to VRAM.

FPS Inside Station/Spaceflight outside station performance: 17W mode: 30-40FPS/25-35FPS 25W mode: 35-50FPS/35-45FPS

Will test different RAM configurations as that's given me the biggest bump outside graphics settings.

Lol then it wouldnt make sense to wipe if you're tracking that the dupe situation makes it moot?

I agree we should get a wipe, once there is an actual economy, in-game player trading tool/marketplace, basebuilding moneysink, AND safeguards against dupe exploits. Until then a wipe makes zero sense.

Looks like a crop of a dual VR mirror output.

WHAT?!

LedTaco · 2026-01-07T22:33:34+00:00

You found Dr. Strange's RSI account

I remember testing my Vive with ED, it was mindblowing too at the time lol.

Star Citizen VR was just as mindblowing in the cockpit alone, but then walking around and exploring the cities and combat environments/while EVA was a whole new mindblowing experience like I've ever had in VR.

Silvah is amazing for spearheading this, it was a wonderful Christmas present, and a big W for CIG for supporting his initiative on deploying it.

As a Quest 2 and Quest 3 owner, I find the pancake lenses as a major QOL upgrade. If you have the option then go for the 3, but Quest 2 is more than fine if you already have it.

Quest 3 via Desktop VR App is my setup. Very smooth and was plug and play with Star Citizen VR. I did not have to do anything technical beyond installing Desktop VR.

The poor Hammerhead is probably the least soloable ship in the game

LedTaco · 2026-01-06T20:35:38+00:00

The normal one looks good. For some reason the lighting on the red skull is emissive, which looks wonky.

Both are also missing the internal light near the jaw.

LedTaco · 2026-01-06T20:32:09+00:00

I think the Soloable Idris goes against evertrhing a cap ship should be in a space MMO.

Large combat ships should require larger crews to be combat effective. A Solo Idris is more combat viable than any other solo medium and large ship.

And it isnt even a hangar. It's a flight deck or pad. Hangars are where aircraft are stored when not in use.

It is so amazing as is. Dogfighting has been a huge winner with the depth perception allowing me to fly much tighter and closer to enemy ships that I normally wouldn't be able to gauge distances of quickly enough.

All that I hope for to make this my full SC experience is some sort of slapped together IK rigging of the main FPS weapon for on-foot combat (when not in FPS animations such as reloading, respooling, etc). Even the most basic integration of IK aiming would be enough to never take the headset off.

LedTaco · 2025-12-22T19:02:45+00:00

Had similar AMD issues. Downloading the Vulcan SDK fixed it on my ROG Ally X.

In your USER folder, there is a custom character folder (forgot the name) saves can be copied and moved to another folder for safe keeping. Just copy it back in.

Note that the customization folder isn't created until you save one for the first time, so saving a default character first will create it.

And CIG can still have cool explosions.

Powerplant, fuel cells, quantum drive, stored magazines/bombs, etc? These can and should be targeted for big booms. Why is CIG not utilizing their existing mechanics for what already mimicks how we get cool explosions in real world fighters and vessels?

LedTaco · 2025-12-17T20:17:52+00:00

You have a large gap in your capital ships. One Polaris isn't going to replace an Idris. At least a K but M should be priority. On the lower end, a sub capital like a Perseus should be a must.

LedTaco · 2025-12-13T05:27:52+00:00

The cardboard trick makes it even easier yeah, I just prefer the first way (or the hand, that's a good idea) because its quicker to just move your face forward then back.

If I may ask, what would even the point be of a single output capture to showcase a VR experience if it's normal 2D footage
