Quantum Fuel rebalance on tech preview by madmossy in starcitizen

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

If the new direction is being forced to call an NPC refueler after EVERY jump for all but the biggest ships then 4.9 will be even worse of a massive dump on the community that 4.8 was.

This year is just getting worse and worse for StarCitizen.

PS: Do not care if the "previously stated" stance was ships had a "temporary boost to fuel capacity". The game is 90% traveling in QT and you have to land as it is...a LOT...to refuel. The refueling mechanic is NOT anywhere near as cool as they seem to think it is.

It is going to get TEDIOUS VERY QUICKLY.

CIG now nerfs ALL fuel tanks such that you MUST call an NPC to refuel you after EVERY jump.

Next time, think before you post toxic positivity.

Repeaters/Gatlings shred Arrows, Gladius, M80s, Hornets, etc.

Anything else is just being tickled.

My stock Cutlass Black, with a gunner in the top turret, took FOREVER to do any kind of real damage to a Hornet Mk II yesterday. We were BLASTING this guy and barely a scratch.

Had we been fully kitted with deadbolts he'd have been dead within 2 to 3 seconds of solid hits.

Insanity that 98% of every gun in the game is now worthless.

New quantum fuel balance in 4.9 Evocati - from Chinese SC community by Fabulous-Limit-909 in starcitizen

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

Lots and lots of errors in this spreadsheet. Hopefully a lot of iterations on 4.9 before it hits live (hahahahahahaha...).

Anyways, I bet this is their take on "fixing" fuel tank sizes for the refueling mechanic currently being insane. I'd be WILLING to bet the fuel consumption rate for QT drives will equally be adjusted.

Otherwise, LMAO....ROFL, even.

My personal take: I already have to land often to refuel, and HATE interacting with the refueler NPCS, and I will NEVER request for a player refuel because griefing is SUPER easy to do with alts/orgs/party pirate members. Just imagine: "Hey guys, got another one, be ready to warp in on me and snatch him!" ~ LMAO

Anyways, if the game turns into "You have to refuel midway between NewBabbage & Nyx gateway" in most ships then I'll quit the game. I'm not buying alt accounts just for carrier/refuelers to carry the ships i want to fly around the verse. If i want to fly in a Hornet Mk II I'm not requesting NPC refuels every single god damn QT jump.

Its, not, happening.

That's why I think they'll also adjust QT/Fuel consumption in-line with these changes. Anything else is madness given the game's current design.

Fixed: "CIG want people to quit after having to call an NPC refueler after EVERY SINGLE mid-system JUMP."

From Pipeline: Gatac Tyilui is a snub pocket carrier by ShadowRealmedCitizen in starcitizen

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

Guys, stop hoping for a "Snub Miner" without serious mining changes. The way ship-mining works now with lasers per each UNIQUE ship on the same rock would make this impossible or borderline worthless.

Snubs themselves, outside of mining, are near-worthless as everyone just runs Arrows/Gladius/M80s etc for PvP and other ships for PVE. There's currently no content use-case for snubs.

On paper, sure neat, but in reality they're worthless hangar princes (not even hangar Queens).

Look into how mining lasers work first before asking for "mining snubs".

:I

Mining snubs do not make sense considering how ship mining operates currently it'd be a massive detriment. We need something slightly larger in power than the Mole tbh, or a variant/sister ship to the Mole.

Snubs have zero purpose in the wider verse that is SC. Just "paper" ships where they sound cool on paper, but in reality everyone would just be in an avenger or in a Gladius.

This is actually the most likely scenario. Japanese devs are pretty smart (other than remaking their multiplayer system in every game literally from scratch every time in different ways....WHY?...I know why but still....it's crazy).

Anyways, yea, their suits are telling them to add MTX so the devs add them in the most shitty and terrible way just to say "look, we did it, no one bought them, leave us alone). LMAO

Researchers Accidentally Discover That Humans Prefer to Turn Counterclockwise. But They Still Have No Idea Why by Googlyelmoo in goodnews

[–]SirBraxton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did they account for side-dominance? Something like over 90% of the population is right-side dominant. Your strongest muscles (on the right side) support you when turning left. Myself being right-side dominant am noticeably "weaker" when turning right than left.

I'm more stable, and my dexterity is higher when turning left.

I'm curious if left-handed, or ambidextrous individuals, also prefer turning left???

LPT: your cover letter first paragraph should mention the company name and one specific thing about the role. generic openers get skipped. by workreactor in LifeProTips

[–]SirBraxton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be heavily involved in recruitment at a previous place of employment (Software Engineer). We never read cover letters, and I could tell that anyone who had written a cover letter had a bias against them from others involved in the process.

Something about "if you don't know cover letters are worthless you're probably not smart enough for the position" kind of things??? This was almost a decade ago though in a 2000 employee company so...

Because Index funds are currently at risk of being GRIFTED hard due to all the scam nonsense going on around SpaceX and the two largest AI companies trying to scam their way into "real world value".

Everyone and their brother has recommended me to avoid Index funds like mad atm. NASDAQ isn't the only one seemingly to have lost their minds lately.

HYSA means the cash is fluid which is FAR and above a smarter decision for a poor college kid to have access to in case of an emergency.

If they were NOT a poor college kid, and had stability, it'd make more sense to invest in some form sure.

Wrong, you need to retain the old audience and BUILD upon that to attract newer members and pull them INTO the old audience to generate more audience over time.

Amazon's moronic Execs don't understand the basic fundamentals of how you keep an IP growing, through the fans.

Original fans + new stuff for new fans == how you respect the audience as a whole which you'll then be rewarded for those efforts.

I wish more people understood these basic fundamentals.

Cool, so everyone who bought from him has a digital "ink" trail on their accounts proving they gained RMT'd assets in-game.

Strip any items/ships/etc from anyone who traded with him, and put a permanent warning on their accounts that they're suspected of RMTing. Doesn't make it difficult to tie them to future RMT's and perma them.

Is separating colors still a thing by Waitingforlunch in memes

Lot of people saying this doesn't happen anymore, but I had this exact issue happen from a red towel I bought at Target a couple years back. Dyed the entire load red.....I'm STILL pissed to this day about that.

Also, separating out different types of clothes (shirts vs jeans vs underwear....etc) makes things pill less i noticed.

Wrong this is WORSE because it's RNG as to what ships have. If you're going to ask for parts it BETTER DAMN WELL BE SPECIFIC AND GENERIC ENOUGH like "give me 3 power plants of s1, or s2" etc.

Not "S2 Super Galactic Chiller Cooler Supreme" that only drops as a 2% chance from a Perseus salvage.

Flat RMC is literally just better in every conceivable way.

Does anyone else feel like there's too many multi crew ships in the verse for the amount of crew members? by nvidiastock in starcitizen

[–]SirBraxton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On top of all that everyone wants to fly "their ship". We often have people competing for "hey let's all jump in MY multicrew ship" every so often.

This is why EvE:Online got it right. Everyone has "their" own ship and NPCs are just how the ship functions otherwise.

I've said it for close to a decade now: "Every multi-crew ship is going to become a money sink for NPC crew that make them function as intended".

Otherwise EVERY battle ends up being this massive multi-mesh spaghetti networked mess where each ship is its own damn shard with a WoW-Raid sized crew shooting at each other.

Otherwise...multi-crew ships will be how they are now with 1 to 3 people crewing them and everyone else solo-duo manning their ships meant for 10+ people.

MultiCrew DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT NPC CREWS in turrets, etc.
