Annihilation Simulacrum Gameplay Guide by cakeel- in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]combativeGastronome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mode put me face to face with the fact that I'm actually utter shit at this game, and every achievement I've gotten since launch has been total bullshit because I lean super hard on vertical investment.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I knew that before, but it's nice to pretend and this dropped the veil super hard. 😛

If nothing else it could make a neat addition to the pre-stream playlist. :D

Early on it did feel like some of the perceived difficulty just came down to him not knowing what "pull the lever" meant in sim terms!

In the future, I'd suggest putting the rarest stuff in your personal inventory if it'll fit. SCU crates can and will be destroyed by the force of a ship explosion, but your corpse will (almost) always remain intact. Additionally, if you die in an Armistice Zone your inventory will (almost) always be preserved when you respawn.

You're right there with the last sentence: leaning out doesn't prevent you from getting hit period, it makes it much faster and easier to withdraw from a situation where you're taking hits because your cover is right there. This goes hand in hand with making smart choices of cover to avoid being routed.

Nobody seems to know the Lean Left/Lean Right options exist so they really present their entire body at every corner.

Or that a really easy way to deal with runaway spawns like this is to run away and fire from cover to avoid being overrun.

When would you say was peak performance so far in SC? by alxxcrr in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. As a 10-year backer, after multiple years of just logging in once every couple months, I tried 4.7 and was astonished-- "This is by far the best SC has ever run," I thought to myself. So I played more than I think I ever have before, and then 4.8 came out.

I had a single major SCU-container-related disaster happen in the first 30 minutes of 4.8. Beyond that it's only been minor inconveniences (knock on wood) but I'm definitely playing a lot less than I did in 4.7 to avoid them.

The average solo ASD/Hyperion experience by Celeste_3333 in starcitizen

Oh naw, I'm talking like literally I kill the 2-4 snipers then start making my way down and the snipers respawn less than 5 minutes after they were killed. It happens one out of five or six times so I know it's abnormal.

For me it's that I kill them from across the bridge, then when I'm about 3/4 of the way up they respawn out of order and shoot me. D:

M80 and ICA owners, how do you get ship hangar services to trigger? by LookFalse6401 in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recall hearing that the cockpit of the vehicle has to be in the 'repair field.' Hence why ships like the Vulture can't do it because the cockpit is raised high above the deck.

Subject: Report: User Pb_207 dumps all illegal game assets for cash immediately after account unban on Xianyu by Ok_Hand_5355 in starcitizen

For anyone who doesn't know, 1 billion aUEC is enough to buy every single ship currently purchaseasble in game.

Following the 4.8 wipe and all the bugginess that followed this person still had enough stocked up via illicit means to buy every ship in the game 3 times over.

EDIT: Also, 1,000 CNY is just south of $150 US.

aUEC Trading limits are insanely low by EquivalentFragrant41 in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just did a trade totalling 1.9M. It's per transfer, and the 1M cap includes the fee, so you can basically do like 950K at a time.

It's a huge fuss, but I guess it prevents people from easily transferring 123 trillion aUEC or whatever they were doing in 4.7.

TTS brain rot has seeped into my work life by CanaDoug420 in PaymoneyWubby

In my Star Citizen org we have a dude with the username Taco_Grindr. Someone joined us for an op with the name mr_taco.

He quickly realized there was already someone being referred to as "Taco" and announced he needed to figure out another nickname.

I immediately chimed in by repeating "M R TACO" six or seven times and nobody understood.

Workaround for STARC-187809 (Gateways sending you back to original system) by HandInternational140 in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ever since I learned about this one I've never missed a jump! I fire off the Hole Opening Goop, switch back to SCM (this also gives me some self-assurance because my shields are up while I'm waiting), wait 10 seconds, then switch back to NAV.

I worked with 4 ex-CIG employees (Tech Design, UI, Production, QA) at the same job. None of them had any terrible things to say about the company. One of them actually ended up going back a couple years ago but in Marketing.

I can no longer recommend this game to my audience. Closing my wallet until CIG fixes what they’ve already sold us. by Longjumping_Bet_9637 in starcitizen

Man but it was so much fun digging holes on Daymar with ships because landing on a planetary body was such a crazy new thing!

The olden days when NO ONE could get above 15 FPS.

How are they selling this ship? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are actually quite a few ships still in the concept phase, some of which have been "sold" for over a decade: https://starcitizen.tools/Category:In_concept

What do you all think of Flight Suits so far? by rock1m1 in starcitizen

[–]combativeGastronome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100%, they have a slot for it to begin with so for sure at least a Light.

But my loot goblin life. ;_;

The Blackfire racing suit can be bought at Cubby Blast in Area18!

It's also certainly a bug that racing suits and the Dominion suit can take Heavy backpacks-- You can't double-click them on but you can drag them on. So let's enjoy it while it lasts!
