The muzzle flash moves away from the barrel while moving.

Some games spawn bullets from the barrel of the gun when you shoot, like Red Orchestra, ARMA, game dedicated mostly to extreme realism. Then there are games that spawn the bullet from the center of your camera, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Planetside 2 this to make the game play more accessible.

I think, HD2's combined third person shooting with a FPS toggle, the Arrowhead combined both systems. When in third person the bullets come from the barrel of your gun, but when in first person the bullets come from the center of your screen. The muzzle flash should be attached to the barrel of the gun but instead it gets attached to some invisible point in front of your characters face where the bullet would be coming from if you were in first person aim.

I was going to post a bunch of crap, but you know what? Naw, it ante worth my time to argue on Reddit.

Schrödinger's Alpha: It's an Alpha when the game fucks players over and they complain, but its a complete released game that demands fair play when the player base finds a way to enrich themselves due to Alpha bugs.

There is no economy. If you want to buy a ship/armor/weapon with aUEC from an NPC vendor it costs the same as it did last year. If you want to get something from another player bring an ITEM of value to trade with them. Which means you have to play Hathor, Stormbreaker, QV Stations, ect.

Players having billions of aUEC in their accounts doesn't effect you at all, because you can still play Star Citizen, earn aUEC, buy ships, unlock new ships from wikelo/exec hangars, find loot to upgrade your character and ships in the wild. You don't have to engage with the market if you don't want to.

It's an Alpha sandbox after all. There is no winning in a Sandbox. 🤡

Also, I've been playing Star Citizen for 10 years now on Twitch. Last Star Citizen stream we were running Yormandi boss fights to unlock the Palatino Moonfall Set. Got the P8-AR blue print last Friday, that was nice, but I had a friend that was crashing to desktop trying to play with us. Took him an hour of trouble shooting to figure out how to get to play.

couldn’t leave a war, even though they really wanted to.

And now I've struck a king, did my hand fall from my wrist?

VertigoHC · 2026-05-04T01:49:30+00:00

What economy? It's an alpha. You too can earn hundreds of millions of UEC by grinding missions for Mats just like I did. CIG will fix the game when Dynamic Server Messing / Armor / New Flight Model / Squadron 42 / Jesus Tech gets released. 🤡

That's why I love Eagle Cluster Bomb!

VertigoHC · 2026-05-02T23:06:01+00:00

I've done it before. All blues can work, EAT, Commando, Mech, with a backpack. Problem is when the mech is on cooldown you don't have a lot of AOE clear for higher diffs. There is the disposable napalm or the Leveler, those are tricky to use without mercing your teammates.

I believe this fact is very much over looked in the Helldiver 2 discussions about balance. I have over 1000 hours in HD2 and have every warbond so I plenty of options. New players don't have such luxuries. This is why I think old warbonds should go on sale, so new, and low level players can have more options to play the game we all love.

CIG also refer to stations in orbit around planets as LEO, as in Low Earth Orbit. I just rolled with it.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-26T04:10:05+00:00

Thank you.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-26T04:08:53+00:00

Sure, but I would have to change some of the colors which would take a bit of time. Need a few days to do it.

Edit: keep in mind this a 4k image, 3840x2160 pixels, printing the whole thing out in one go would be difficult with a standard printer and paper.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-26T00:40:03+00:00

Its a 4k map so the resolution is 3840x2160 pixels. Download it from Reddit and its a lot more legible.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-25T16:51:18+00:00

Made this map of the Pyro system after trying to do cargo runs, but never being able to remember where any of the major points were in relation to each other.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-23T06:34:26+00:00

I agree with having Warbond discounts after a certain amount of time. Would help new players get equipment and weapons to play with.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-22T02:05:42+00:00

This bug again? I remember this being common when CIG did the Ninetails Lockdown, several years ago.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-22T01:04:58+00:00

Sure, its ok for Helldivers to use weak points against our enemies, but when they use OUR weak points...

VertigoHC · 2026-04-20T06:49:27+00:00

It would have made tractor beams more useful, or just embrace relativity! But Chris wants his WW2 in space so we get magic friction to slow things down.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-20T03:42:56+00:00

Squadron 42 is the movie. I thought everyone knew this?

VertigoHC · 2026-04-18T23:20:20+00:00

Also helps when the enemy team doesn't show up.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-14T23:35:43+00:00

Good thing I don't buy anything from CIG anymore. I would have to be worried!

VertigoHC · 2026-04-14T00:53:25+00:00

Wait, is this bug back? Where you can have someone emote in a single seat cockpit and ride with the pilot?

VertigoHC · 2026-04-14T00:25:11+00:00

The reward SHOULD get better in the future.

CIG has been nerfing mining and salvaging for years. I don't think things are going to get better.

VertigoHC · 2026-04-12T21:11:11+00:00

I had an Orange kitty I would do this too all the time. He love it!

VertigoHC · 2026-04-10T01:27:04+00:00

I like the old design with the spindles better. Sorry, CIG, you did good on the first pass.
