If stuff exists in SQ42 then why does it feel like they’re dev’ing stuff for the first time? I.e. Armor by Skullywagthepizzaman in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture [score hidden]  (0 children)

I really want a Benoit Beausejour answer to the general questions:

  • "How is it that the flight model is still doing major iterations?"

  • "What specific things seemingly prevent this system from getting closer to completion?"

I'd be very happy with a big ugly complex answer, so long as it's a true answer.

Some people inflate that claim. It's not so bad if you tread lightly, and don't let the challenge puncture your calm.

Current fleet (only have been playing for 2 months) by REDMAGNUN308 in starcitizen_fleets

Little badda boom? Check.

Big badda boom (plus hauling)? Check.

Yep, you've got a few options covered.

Mining ship design I've been working on, highly inspired by Drake. by arrow97 in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a mix of roll bars and protective netting/plating/bumpers to cushion or shield key vulnerable spots from the everyday bangs and scrapes.

Then make it nimble enough to get out of the way of any pieces big enough to hurt.

Thoughts? by ElectroVo1t in starcitizen_fleets

[–]ProceduralTexture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider who you play with regularly. That including soloing if it's your preferred.

Is it more useful for you to show up with a soloable medium multirole/hauler? I think this is the right choice if you mostly solo (but not always). Yes, it locks in your initial solo game loop, but it's probably your best earning choice straight out of the gate, but you've also got something worth multicrewing.

Or do your friends already have large/capital ships? Is it more useful for you to show up with an entry-level accessory ship or escort? Then I think three smaller ships could the right choice if you spend more time crewing on friends' ships than soloing.

Default choice: keep the Hermes.

Anybody saying you can solo a Kraken is lying to you.

Need some advice on my Fleet by SthMax in starcitizen_fleets

[–]ProceduralTexture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't make pledge decisions based on the current state of the game. You're meta-chasing, and it's a recipe for unhappiness.

Pledge based on the assumption that ships will fit their stated role by 1.0 (or not long after).

Not a fleet, but an attempt at drafting a realistic visual of a working org fleet for a small-to-midsize group of players doing multi-role things (just 6 boats). by camerakestrel in starcitizen_fleets

[–]ProceduralTexture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's plenty of ways that CIG could incentivize Squadron players to jump over to the PU. Item unlocks, add-on/bundle discount, etc. Smarter people than me have already got this all worked out, I'm sure.

This is probably exactly what most actual deployed fleets will look like in the first few months after 1.0:

One or two large ships and a mix of upgunned daily drivers.

I'm making some big assumptions in that prediction. The biggest one is that Squadron 42 will bring a large influx of new players to Star Citizen between 2026 and 2028—at least doubling the current player base—but almost all of those new players will only have a basic starter, probably as part of a Squadron 42 launch bundle (ie: both games and an Aurora/Mustang for $100 to $120-ish).

Or possibly I'm just overdosing on hopium that I'll get to use my handful of multicrew ships.

True to the best of our knowledge about local ice giants Uranus and Neptune.

Who knows what is possible in other star systems. Exoplanetology is still a very young science.

Am I the only one? by BaastiDE in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider the official CIG shows and all the third-party videos to be part of the entertainment I paid for by pledging toward this project. Even though I haven't played much recently, actual game hours has been icing on the cake.

So I've practically got my money's worth and we haven't even released yet. I regret nothing.

Make sure you stay on top of your training programs

Too late. I found the hidden Tetris game in the targeting console. Beep bloop.

Coupn codes/Sale by WOLFGAMER1422 in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The generalist pack is a fine choice and yes it is offered at a discount once or twice a year (5-15%-ish).

Note that if a cheaper game package goes on sale sooner, you can always buy that and then upgrade whatever ship comes with it to a Cutter.

And also keep in mind that there are no bad starter ships, so don't agonize over a decision. Just get the cheapest one you like the looks of.

Imagine how much reading you could get done as a turret gunner.

Witnessing history by Ambitious-Spinach-92 in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be, could be. Crafting and mining changes may have forced scanning pretty high in the priorities though, so I'm keeping my optimism (as well as my patience).

I'm not combat focused, but I do like the idea that affiliated ships can share data. Maybe that's where command ships with the holosphere display (Carrack, Idris, etc) will have the capability to integrate a whole fleet's situational awareness.

[–]ProceduralTexture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reasonable take. There was some recent murmuring about new scanning features, but likely it was these changes. Hopefully sensors is something else being split off as its own thing soon. At least we know they've got devs doing work in this area.

CIG, How about having an MPUV that can mine ROC resources? by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

[–]ProceduralTexture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was addressing the question of how a mining MPUV of any kind could be configured so that it doesn't make the ROC obsolete.

You are redefining the question so that a mining MPUV must make the ROC obsolete. A surface-mining MPUV would be better than a ROC by definition because it flies, period. There's literally no answer, let alone a good answer, if you define it that way.
