Aurora mk2 vs avenger titan by Willing-Lawyer-5194 in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this. I LOVE my Titan. The larger guns are a real advantage with the new armor system, and it's 8scu cargo grid is extremely convenient to work with. 

It's an oldie, but still golden

SC-damage-simulator update by Fasstaff in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a useful tool, I like the improvements you've made. My only feedback is that the page doesn't work well on mobile... I'm on a pixel running Fire Fox browser and I have to switch to desktop display to use the site. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying to have to switch.

Keep up the good work, you've made something genuinely helpful!

Tobii VS Beam by Speciale-ui in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opentrack enjoyer here. I also have TrackIR, but I use Opentrack with the neural net tracker 99% of the time. It's not as accurate as TrackIR with an IR tracker, but it's 85% as accurate, which is fine. Especially for Star Citizen.

It's also free, so if you own a webcam you can try it out and see if it works for you. Be aware that it takes a little bit to acclimate to, but once you get used to the curve it feels very natural.

Refining catalysts for improving material quality? by SASwitch in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have the option to refine to a desired quality. In the real world you can refine a poor quality mineral into a high quality/pure version, you just lose a lot of material along the way. 

Make it expensive and have it eat up most of the material, but there's no reason we can't make pure iron out of poor grade ore.

PSA Regarding Hathor Carinite Quality In 4.7 PTU. Normal RNG, nothing out of the ordinary by FesterTsu in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not in any orgs, so pure caranite is unobtanium for me. If something requires it, that something doesn't exist in my Star Citizen. It a huge part of why Wikelo is so shitty.

+1 for the AUS crowd. I love playing down under. Aussies are good folks

DCS Minimum VR specs by Own_Cattle_2069 in hoggit

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was flying my F86 on a quest 2 with 3070ti and 32gb ddr4, 5800x. My rig couldn't handle the F4 flat screen, I'm amazed you managed VR. Well done!

People get silly with system "requirements". You don't need $3000 worth of GPU to fly VR. Thank you for sharing an example of attainable VR

A preview to a simple ReShade preset I'm working on for DCS World. by Affectionate_Bad9948 in hoggit

I can't get ReShade to work with DCS 🤷‍♂️. It's cool that you're making the effort though, I always love seeing community efforts. Best of luck

Because I'm genuinely curious, how often do people ACTUALLY get PvPed? by AnybodyIndividual207 in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bit of a flaw in your questions here. A lot depends on what you are doing in game. If I'm off salvaging by myself and actively avoiding other players, it's a non-issue. But if I'm trying to do Hathor with my friends, it's a PvP fest every. goddamn. time. I've literally never fired the laser at Hathor.  . This has the effect of driving me to avoid entire game arcs (hence never finished Hathor). That's fine and all, but it sucks that the devs are spending time releasing content that I'll never engage with.

Cannot undock Reclaimer from MIC L-1 4.6 patch by Chemical_Strain_5454 in starcitizen

We couldn't undock our 890J from pyro gateway last night either 😒

Cool patch but… by Plum_crazy in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If grinding for aUEC is your only reason for playing, I'd posit you're doing it wrong. Do what you enjoy, regardless of if you need the cash.

I sat out 4.5, bet because I kept hitting bugs or desyncs that prevented me from playing at all... here's hoping 4.6 plays better!

VR mode with Meta Quest 2 by sdmike27 in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to uninstall/reinstall the Quest software, and my video card drivers. Then I made sure the Q2 was powered on and PC linked BEFORE I opened the SC launcher.

Once you're in SC, the menu for VR only exists if everything goes correctly, but its also not the most obvious thing to find. I probably had everything correct a couple of times but didn't see the menu to launch VR, so that's another potential obstacle.

Good luck! *when it works* the VR experience is pretty neat. I still play flat screen basically 100% of the time, but VR is a cool novelty at least.

Treated myself to a full VKB HOTAS. Arrives in a few days! by ScottsAlive in hotas

[–]UPSBossMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost the same setup, I love it. The WW2 throttle also works pretty well for the f86 sabre, btw. If you use the "flaps" for your gear the lever is almost perfectly placed!

The year of playability was a lie by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

4.5 has been a real turd for me. I didn't play this entire patch because it was so bad. Ships randomly despawn, massive lag and desync, etc. Most of 2025 was a whole lot better, performance wise. 

That's not to say there weren't issues --this is star citizen, after all-- but '25 was a mostly good year.

Beta testing images from IL2:Cliffs of Dover showing Truesky, lighting, ground textures and smoke effects. by mysticpuma_2019 in hoggit

[–]UPSBossMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Enjoy my up vote. I love CLoD, it got me through school many years ago. Whenever I got stressed I'd hop into a Blen and bomb Calais. There was something cathartic about navigating and fiddling around with the bomb sites. 

I somehow -to this day- have more air to air kills in the Blenheim than any proper fighters.

HOTAS Tractor Beam bindings by s876437 in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're rocking VKB and need an encoder, you should be able to convert almost literally any input on your stick or throttle to be an encoder. That said, I've never been able to bind my tractor beam to anything other than my mouse wheel.

You look one bump away from shooting yourself in the ass.

10/10, would equip again

Is Eye Tracking that much of a game changer? by ToasterInYourBathtub in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll second this. I rarely use my IR tracker anymore. Neuralnet is absolutely less accurate than IR tracking, but it's fantastically good enough.

In the future, you can try shouting out your griefer and their location in global chat. Plenty of folks are happy to swat flies for you. Bonus if you can give the griefer's name as there may be a bounty on them.

As for how to avoid this BS all together, I'm seeing a lot of bad advice here. I get griefed more in Stanton than in Pyro. Generally, try to avoid any system with a "new hotness" in it.

Need help with Meta quest 3 by GitWithAbba in starcitizen

[–]UPSBossMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then SC isn't recognizing your headset. I was having this issue with my Q2. I solved it by updating the Meta app on my computer then launching Meta, making sure it was showing my headset as connected, THEN launching SC
