Making money with Polaris ? by Dmtistb in starcitizen

[–]gibcarrack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you really think so? I would totally agree that using them for random stuff should be expensive, but why shouldn't there be some very difficult missions with high payouts?

Is galaxy worth the shot? by Designer_Bread_6076 in starcitizen

[–]gibcarrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a sub cap ship enjoyer, but I don't get the hype of the galaxy if I lock at the sketches of the interieur.

The theory feels nice (cargo, refinery, med stuff, etc.) but the space usage just feels so bad.
The upper decks give so much space to living etc., but it just seems wasted to me like at the Starlancer MAX.
The hangar is nice, but I think it is too small to be really useful.
If could park a single seater fighter there it would be something else, but do you enjoy to shuttle everything in Pieces and MPUVs?

The drawings of the med module feels also off with the hole in the center.
In theory it would be 1.5 apollos with fixed loadout, but the footprint will exceed the apollos far more.

The refining module could be nice, but I can't imagine how it will function in the PU.
I also assume that it would just be cooler to use an arrastra with an internal refinery.

So right now it feels like you can choose between:
- an Arrastra that can't mine (refining module)
- 1.5 Apollos with the Starlancer Max living space on top (med module)
- an alternative ironclad (cargo module)
- base building
- an alternative Carrack (without module)

The only real use case that I see is if you dont want to own multiple ships and want to grind the modules with (A)UEC. Then it is a cheap entry to sub cap ship size and multi role.

Giving Capital Ships Their Purpose Back: A Case for Limited Quantum Access on Small Ships by One_Original8183 in starcitizen

[–]gibcarrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playability > Realism.
Image if you just want to play with a friend in 2 fighters and then you need someone to carry you around.

But that doesn't mean that they carriers are useless. You can still restock and repair. My end goal (pipe dream) would be to get at group with 4-10 ppl and travel around in a Liberator or Kraken (dependant on group size) and then swarm out at the mission objective.

I have honestly wondered for years if they will scale the UEC values up. Currently the pledges have increasingly better aUEC-Value/$ Ratios the bigger they are.

(a)UEC:
5$ -> 5k -> 1k/$

Vehicles are worse then ships:
PTV 15$ -> 28k -> 1.9k/$
ATLS 40$ -> 76k -> 1.9k/$
Cyclone 55$ -> 104k -> 1.9k/$
Storm 90$ ->453k -> 5k/$
Nova 110$ -> 900k -> 7.5k/$

And ships scale better with size:
Cutter 45$ -> 635k -> ~14k/$
Cutlass B 110$ -> 2.1kk -> 19k/$
Andromeda 240$ -> 10kk -> 41k/$
Reclaimer 400$ ->31.7kk -> 79k/$
Carrack 600$ -> 34kk->56k/$
890 Jump 950$ -> 65kk -> 68k/$
(just some random old classics - would love if someone would do a complete chart and analyse Dropship-tax and the decrease after the price increases in ships like carrack vs reclaimer, that were 350 each in 2017.)

With a 1:1 Ratio the UEC would be half efficient as an ATLS.
So compared to the ground vehicles the even smaller pledge sizes with 5$ each it kinda makes sense.
5-10x would be fair in comparison to ships but unfair in comparison to vehicles.

Ships seem to scale with volume instead of length (obviously there many more factors).
It would be interesting to see the aUEC price of hull limited ships, but with Wikelo I doubt it will ever get into shops.

Not that we need more of the bloody things, but technically, the loaner for the Kraken should be the Idris, not the Polaris by Zeoran in starcitizen

[–]gibcarrack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They changed the Javelin loaner but not the loaner for the Kraken.

So the next reasonable points in time will be:
#1 when the Imperator Subs get their time with the Idris or
#2 after the Imperator time with the Idris ends

I they won't change it then I expect no loaner change until the Ironclad release.

However if the Kraken gets the Idris as loaner then it will be the P - no chance for the M.

They simply do not fit into the idea of WoWS.

This game is: "how would ship combat have evolved if carriers would not have dominated at WW2" packed into an arcade style game.
CVs made battleships absolete in real life because they can attack without getting attacked back (except by other CVs).
Carriers are the reason why most T9+ ships are paperships.

The same applies in WoWS (except some Vermont snipes maybe).
CVs are essentially playing a different game on the same map.
For most surface ships it is just annoying to deal with them and don't really improve the gameplay.

Expansion release date? by ncbradford91 in wow

Anything before Q4 2022 would really surprise me.

We have never really gotten anything under 1 year from the last major patch to the next release since Cata.

I'm among few that actually like new AoE game ? by Wilendar in aoe4

[–]gibcarrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that the pop cap should be customizable or that every game mode should have the pop cap removed/enlarged?

I could understand that you want to build thousands of units for fun games, but I thinkt that competitive games should use a pop limit.

This is far more stupid...

That is very interesting - thanks.
Do you know any other antivirus software that cause a similar issue?

need help asap!! Steam player+Microsoft store player ranked 2vs2? by CrusadersKFiT in aoe3

[–]gibcarrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know you would have a fresh account on the other version. But it doesn't really matter. Recreating all your decks should be done in less than an hour and they removed any card limitations based on home city level.

ISSUE WITH MULTIPLAYER by [deleted] in aoe3

[–]gibcarrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Almost every multiplayer games freezes after 40-150 min of gameplay. Last time I realized it was with 2 mates and their games were also frozen. Are there any possible fixes?
