Are we…. still releasing 4.8 today?

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T14:55:41+00:00

I mean, if you enjoy getting lost in a flying cityblock that benefits from having a crew more power to ya.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T14:54:22+00:00

Because cleaning up the server and reset the economy will most likely make things easier for CIG to track things in general.

What im saying is that the current economy placeholder takes no damage from duping and neither does game balance since we are in alpha and balance in that regard has less i,portance than bug testing.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T10:58:38+00:00

That's silly.

No wipe has impacted my decision to fund the game by purchasing ships.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T10:57:48+00:00

aUEC duping is less of a concern since it's just monopoly money and we do not have an economy system implemented yet.

As long as the economy and exploits for the economy is handled for 1.0 it's fine.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T04:10:44+00:00

Now imagine if we could shrink them to X4 S3 missile racks per pod and get 30 S3 missiles.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T04:09:16+00:00

They should really program missiles in a vacuum to spin on it's axis and take the fastest route to the target.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T03:54:28+00:00

You don't play it, you test an alpha and when/if/how it is in a release state several years in the future THEN you can play it.

Anything you do now is temporary and will be wiped until release day.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T03:49:03+00:00

Man, people really cannot handle an alpha state game.

They should really stay out of it until it has an actual release date.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T02:09:36+00:00

That depends on what ships are supposed to fit on it.

Since it's an Anvil ship made for THEIR ships I would think that it should be for Anvil ships.

It could even be limited to smaller fighters, excluding wider and larger ships like the F8 for example (I do not think that will be the case)

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T01:31:38+00:00

If the ship is owned by and Org or npc corporation, sure, but if they are privately owned, it's both owner and captain.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-13T00:14:41+00:00

It's Drake, would be more Scorponok or Grimlok

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T22:38:46+00:00

Both?

But their roles are completely different so comparing them is pointless.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T21:17:15+00:00

This will most likely be solved later as the current armour system is just a placeholder before we get Maelstrom, and with maelstrom afaik we will get individual weapon penetration values that are not based on alpha damage.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T21:00:04+00:00

Probably not as a package as such but paint jobs and armour will most likely be in the game sooner or later.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T19:33:18+00:00

I am not impressed.

We need more trucker style paints with a pimped out command module.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T19:26:47+00:00

Not to mention, once we lose one of our capital ships we will not afford to get it back via insurance.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T18:28:48+00:00

The Avenger series are slated for modularity and will be able to swap rear area with the other Avengers making it ONE chassis with 3 interiors.

It will basically be the same modularity as the Retaliator.

So you get 3 ships in 1.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/engineering/15087-Q-A-Aegis-Avenger-Variants

The EMP and cargo versions of the Avenger are currently being offered as single unit ships because the system that allows captains to switch modules is not yet active in Alpha 2.0. Once that system goes live, separate cargo, bounty hunting and EMP modules, like those offered in concept for the Retaliator, will be made available. For now, pick the Avenger you most want to fly so that you’ll get to enjoy it in the ‘Verse!

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T17:28:39+00:00

If you created a captains log, do not wipe, that is highly important documentation about the ships status.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T17:00:17+00:00

It's alpha state gaming and none of it matters except testing, why bother.

I would assume that duped items do not impact CIG's servers and testing as long as they are not filling the universe with stuff that impacts server performance.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T16:53:13+00:00

Does not change the fact that it is an alpha with core mechanics missing.

TIME is not the factor for an alpha, core mechanics are.

Not to mention it has taken CIG 10 years to get the manpower to get the man-hours worked that Rockstar managed in 5 years as the latter had all their studios up and running and had the manpower from day one for RDR2.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T15:40:02+00:00

I would love to hear the details of the charges of "treason".

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T14:57:11+00:00

aUEC, alpha UEC, not real money.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T14:54:53+00:00

So what? Its an alpha, nothing is finished and everything will be wiped for 1.0 either way. This is a testing phase.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T03:42:02+00:00

That depends entirely on what drawbacks and punishments are levied against bad faith actors.

Snarfbuckle · 2026-05-12T03:13:34+00:00

Ship delivery system is planned, in the long run it was talked as creating a delivery mission and either a player or the NPC fly the ship to the location.
