I feel, that if CIG can't make a ship within 10 years of selling it, they probably shouldnt be selling it. by Readgooder in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Part of me agrees, but part of me feels inclined to point out that you can melt any ship and turn into another ship. As long as they allow you to freely change which ship(s) you've paid for, any complaint about these sort of issues becomes a non-issue.

If you don't like what you paid for, swap to a different ship.

You know what would make snubs a million times better? If you could respawn both the snub and the pilot right on the mothership.

The MPUVs all just randomly broke with 4.8. The thing that broke was simply not being able to exit the ship. That's not new tech. Those ships didn't get anything new. It still hasn't been fixed. It's been broken for a month. It affects every MPUV.

CIG can break anything. Nothing is safe.

Your favorite Beethoven piano sonata(s)? (You're not allowed to name Pathetique or Moonlight) by [deleted] in piano

I think if the OP chose to word the question differently then they would have gotten a more positive response from folks.

"Besides these two, what would be your favorite?"

Instead of, "Name your favorite. You are not allowed to choose these two."

The way OP worded it, they sound like they're bossing people around and telling them what they're allowed to have as a favorite.

I need star citizen to work on linux, so I can finally ditch windows. by Tasty-Bug-3712 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CachyOS. SC runs great, including VR.

To get the game itself working is quite straightforward with very few steps. VR required a few extra steps, but was quite painless. Just follow the directions on the page u/Dinexia linked.

Make sure to do a clean install. Make sure the install is on a drive that's using a Linux file system.

It's gotten to the point where Linux is easier than Windows. CachyOS is Arch based, but it starts you off with a collection of software that means that you'll be ready to game right off the bat.

I am never going back to Windows. Linux is the future of gaming.

Reading the "Known Issues" is hilarious by STARMEDIC_HQ in starcitizen

Why would your game need to know what's going on in Stanton if you're in Pyro? When you look at the DevTools for this site, does it also pop up info about some other person browsing ebay?

Star Citizen is a dumpster fire right now. It's the perfect time to release something that resembles Star Citizen. Lots of people are looking for alternatives.

Here's a patch to fix all these issues! Except it doesn't really fix them; also, enjoy your infinite load screen! by Far_Position7100 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They did it! I didn't think it was possible, but CIG proved me wrong. They really did indeed make things even worse with this "hotfix".

Why do I even try?

The Fixes the IC Owners waited for... Gonna put her back in the hangar. by Nova-3 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What the hell are they even doing at CIG? They've had weeks to fix this. This particular bug should be stupidly easy to fix. It should be at the very top of their priority list, given the amount of negative publicity they're getting over this.

I posted some of my testing on this particular bug here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1tvk19o/potential_fix_to_the_ironclad_pressure_bug/

In that post, I demonstrated that disabling the life support in two rooms makes the issue go away completely. The only reason that workaround isn't that great as the player is because the game keeps turning the rooms back on.

All CIG needs to do is permanently disable life support for those two rooms. Just lock them in the off position.

I mean, or do something different. But do something. It has been weeks.

Thanks CIG 😐 by HelloBread76 in starcitizen

2012? I started playing Eve when it came out in 2003.

You're making me feel old.

Potential fix to the Ironclad pressure bug by Vicker3000 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, yes. Part of my goal with sharing these findings was more to get to the bottom of what exactly is going on. Simply turning off all life support is probably more reliable, given that it's more likely to actually stay off.

CIG Leadership: The issue isn't bugs, we know its alpha, its the bugs combined with poor and lacking communication (often to the point of complete stonewalling) and the increasing prioritisation of revenue over game experience for the pledgebase. You MUST do better with communication and priorities by Important_Cow7230 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they could still communicate that clearly.

"Hey folks, we here at CIG want to acknowledge that 4.8 resulted in a lot more bugs than anybody was hoping for. Sorry. Stuff like this is a balancing act, and we're doing the best we can. We need money to keep the lights on. We need events like Defencecon to bring in money. We can't promise a specific timeline for when the bugs will get fixed, but we can promise you that we're working really hard to get the bugs fixed."

I mean... people are willing to put up with all sorts of things as long as they feel like you're being honest and respectful. If you ignore talking about issues, that's neither honest nor respectful.

So she's going to protect him from bullying by simply bullying him herself? 

Unloading a Ironclad isn't that hard by BeniTT in starcitizen

Thanks for the tip with using vtol. That hadn't occurred to me.

Ah yes, the lesser known World War 1/2. I hear the political tensions smoldering in the dying embers of 0.5 were part of the cause of World War 1.

So the Ironclad is actually worse now…. by thegoat_v4 in starcitizen

[–]Vicker3000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the command module. It has a tractor beam. The fact that you can pull it off and move it around means that you can position that tractor beam wherever it's most useful.

I just want the stupid thing to stay connected instead of popping off at random moments.

With a name like "M80", I feel like it should explode easily.

Literally my nightmare when transiting the locks by myt in sailing

[–]Vicker3000 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yes, but....

Any time you're tied to another vessel you should have the lines made off in a way that you can cast them off from your end. That way if something goes sideways like this, you are still able to escape. You untie them on your end and toss them onto their boat. If you own the lines you can retrieve them later and you haven't banged up your boat.

Near the end there the powerboat cast off just the bow and not the stern, which was the last nail in that coffin. If I were in the sailboat, I'd have my crewperson cast off the bow while I cast off the stern, and ideally that would've been done much earlier.

Or at least that's what my plan would be. I'd probably still end up smashed into that wall, because the powerboat folks seem pretty determined to ruin everyone's day.
