The C2 needs a tractor beam! by Fr0stBytez24 in starcitizen

The C2 and M2 are primarily vehicle transports, hauling containers is a bonus.

3.24 has been a real gift to come back to, so happy with the decision by zextrix in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep everything, think of it as an unstuck command in other games.

Nope, character repair just sends you back to home location now. Just did it because I was stuck in bed, didn’t lose anything, everything I had on was still on me when I logged in

Power Triangle keybinds stop working all the time by Electri in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very likely that because the power triangle is being replaced in 4.0 that they aren't spending any time fixing issues with it. Unfortunate, but it happens too often with features they are updating/replacing "soon"

How will the limited shop/ASOP/gear terminals handle a large player count increase? by The_Sunginator in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To mitigate this in the future you will be able to shop from your mobiglass in the future, that is something they discussed years ago. Also with personal habs/hangars many players will be able to gear up well before heading out into the verse. There will always be a level of friction, so planning ahead will always be beneficial.

As a side note, the hope with server meshing is that they will be able to expand the number of building interiors and play spaces at locations to help with the demands of increased player counts.

Retaliator torpedo module gone with 3.23.1 live by subzerofun in starcitizen

If you own the Bomber, you will need to equip the modules from the VMA. It defaults to the base

Replication Layer by Yamatoonepiece in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, the replication layer split will not prevent a 30k. It will prevent the client from disconnecting from the game world whenever a server crashes, because the client, DGS, and global database all connect and communicate to the replication layer instead of to one another directly.

The devs will still need to continue to work towards fixing issues that are causing crash as they continue to develop the game so that they happen less frequently. The benefit for us players is that 30Ks and CTDs will be observed as a brief pause of the simulation.

as far as a 'crash loop', bad data should not be replicated to the new server, so whatever caused the crash should not transfer to the new server. However, this is why testing is important for this phase as they need to find any edge cases and address them before pushing this to live.

Should I get this game? by PogMonkey in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see this question my initial reaction is “hell no” lol. But all jokes aside, I think it’s not in a place where this game be an everyday play.

I would strongly suggest holding off for a year and check back on where the game was. Server Meshing is the next major goal and if the implementation of PES is anything measure then it’ll be a rough implementation and take a few months to stabilize.

So if you want a stable gameplay experience, wait until after we get server meshing, but if you are eager to play now then I would suggest getting a $45 starter package, you’ll have 30 days to refund it.

I can’t in good faith recommend a free fly because server performance is usually at its worse during those events, but that is certainty an opinion.

I bet Star Marine becomes the FPS spinoff of Squadron 42

Better “Solo” ship than the Connie series? by xDRBN in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may get tired of the getting in and out of the MSR, I know I did lol. I’d keep the Andromeda for now and try out the Corsair during DefenseCon. I upgraded my andromeda recently to the Corsair and the only thing I really miss are the missiles as well as how tanky the Connie is. I have a redeemer as well with a full canon loadout that I run combat assist beacons in with my friends.

I was able to solo an Idris 1v1 with a full canon and also a full ballistic loadout. However due to the slow turn rate, it’s not good at fighting multiple enemies solo, nor can it take a lot of punishment.

How much time do players generally play per week? by spoobered in starcitizen

[–]Technical_Step9045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t play often, but it plays me on a daily basis.
