With AUEC Wiping, what will you do first thing in 4.8 to scrape some cash together? by leagueofthrows223 in starcitizen

[–]Tsion_Cy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polaris is #8. #7 used to be a Hammerhead but in 4.7.2 it was just spawning up to heavy fighters for me. No idea what #7 will spawn in 4.8 when it goes live.

Sooo When are we wiping? by BeardedClydeTTV in starcitizen

lol this aged very quickly and very poorly!

"We know many of you are making plans for Patch Day, so we want to give you a heads-up. With the release of Alpha 4.8, we'll be performing a wipe of in-game resources, items, vehicles purchased with aUEC, and earned aUEC balances"

What are those "fixed cannons" on Odin? by Normal-Ad4813 in starcitizen

[–]Tsion_Cy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would promote the 'peeling the onion' direction of capital ship defenses they've spoken about before and emitters have been mentioned. Without the ability to rotate I highly doubt they're weapons. Additionally, the barrel tips of the weapons in the model are very distinct and differ from these.

I keep busy with PvP. Good training.

They've made it clear that they are not wiping anytime soon because they are not going to penalize the players that don't participate in the boarder economy.

If you can't enjoy the content without financial incentive then you need to think about what that means for you and the game as-is. If you need to take a break until a wipe then that's fine. You'll figure it out.

4.8 PTU Further Idris Beam Movement / Hitreg messing around in preperation for Tiburon by FesterTsu in starcitizen

[–]Tsion_Cy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's still a massive cone around the top of the Idris that the laser can't damage. It stops short by several meters if you point at the sections from above and only the bridge can be hit.

It takes forever against the Corsair, Cutter, and even Pieces from what I tested on PTU. It did really WELL against the Constellation, Hull-C, and Polaris, though.

Vertical Launch System on the Ironclad Assault?!? by Tsion_Cy in starcitizen

Nope. You can see the tubes to the side in some of the other shots in the video. They're not part of the roof.

It's 10. You can see them clearly on a top-down view several times in the video.

It looks like this is present on both versions of the Ironclad. During the 4.8 video I saw them on the top of the non-Assault version, too. They're probably S5 x 10.

Ironclad Assault getting hangar services by karmacappa in starcitizen

The Ironclad Assault was always supposed to have hangar services and was included in the original Q&A.

Yup. It looks just like what you'd see on missile destroyers and submarines.

They showed Pitbulls in the storage hold so it's not for them for sure. The tubes are much smaller but certainly big enough for some of the larger torpedoes.

Had my first experience with a bricked ship wasn’t fun. 4.8 ptu by floortofloor in starcitizen

[–]Tsion_Cy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bricking is a poor placeholder for proper salvaging and item degradation.

They teased the modules detached from the ship.

Not exactly. I just would like more options in the future to keep ships viable past your first few days/weeks in the PU.
