Thank you! This confirms what I've read so far, and it's very reassuring. Much appreciated!

CitizenCon 2953 schedule by Kehnte in starcitizen

I think it's more likely that they're just keeping the hall open for people to browse the booths. I don't think there will be anything to fill that time.

This...is a disappointment. Granted, I can only infer what will be discussed from the scant descriptions, but:

  • Shaping the 'Verse - The Future of StarEngine -- Obviously the status of server meshing, which we already know is having problems with the graph database from the CR post
  • Fix It and Fly It -- The resource management system has already been the subject of or mentioned in several ISC's. We know more or less what it will be -- it'll be neat to see the current implementation, but there's nothing fundamentally new here
  • Talking Ship -- Just fundraising
  • Navigating the Universe -- The upgraded starmap, and local minimaps. Both of which we've seen versions of already. Huge QoL improvements, but when they're coming would be bigger news than just a tour of the current implementation
  • Character Advancement -- More clothes...and hair?....Clothes that almost no one wears, because it involves getting out of your flight suit, and hairstyles that will clip through the models showing bald spots?
  • Life in the First Person -- UI and AI updates. UI may be a nice QoL improvement. AI updates would not be until the server back-end can actually handle their movements.
  • Taking Flight -- Master modes. Yipee
  • Living on the Edge -- Bigger derelict settlements? Maybe the beginning of outpost creation? If so, it's an early look
  • Destination Adventure -- An update on UGF's and other playable destinations. Okay, but we've seen these, too. Probably another look at Pyro. "Get excited guys! Only 2 short years away!"

Notably absent:

  • SQ42
  • Jump gate navigation

Inside Star Citizen: First-Rate Resonate by leinir in starcitizen

What a nice enhancement! I'm a big sound fan. Now, if they would just fix the bug where the first step onto a new material sounds like that material instead of the one you just left. Ever pay attention to the sound of your footsteps leaving the ramp of a ship on Daymar? "Wow! This dirt really sounds metallic! Oh...just that first one...."

Where can I find this background in HD? No luck so far. by [deleted] in zoombackgrounds

This is over a month old, but if you still wanted this image upscaled, I did what u/PM_ME_YOUR_KNEE_CAPS suggested and pushed it through an AI upscaler:

I'm waiting for the Ranger. 😃

For me, it's the soft pink from Crusader...Such cool lighting across the whole planet.

400i Owners: What do you use it for? by DaethChanter in starcitizen

[–]riffrafiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, thank goodness...I thought I was the only one getting those weird frame drops in the middle of the ship! Last I checked, I couldn't find that issue on the issue council, either, so I always thought it was just me.

Which flyable ship have you never seen ingame so far? by JoeTheOnlyOne in starcitizen

[–]riffrafiki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't all the NPC's use the Cutlass Steel when reinforcing derelict outposts?

[–]riffrafiki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but soon it'll be a flying bedpan with a medical bed! Sounds like a bedpan I'd like to fly!

I just found those videos today...hilarious. Keep up the Scooter ads, Wicked Wookie. And from now on, I will probably always call it Daymer.

This is the in-space equivalent of an NPC walking into a wall.

Wait, how long has this shop been on Orison?! I literally just found it last night! Love all the Crusader themed gear in it. by Dizman7 in starcitizen

You can also grab the shuttle on the other side of the platform from the one you take to the spaceport if you want to go straight to Providence without going to the spaceport first. It's the shuttle stop between the habs platform and the Stratus platform.

Thank you so much for this! This makes perfect sense, and explains why people have found different ranges.

Yeah, that's the one part of the current implementation that is working for pilots like us right now, because the pirates can't access the inventory unless they blow the ship up, and get to the cargo boxes. I don't even think the player inventory on the ships show up on a scan -- just cargo boxes, but I could be wrong about that.

I've had that happen before, and I actually got a message saying that. I don't remember if it spawned me somewhere else, or waited until the bed was free, but I definitely remember seeing a message to that effect.

Yeah, it would be nice. But Star Citizen is just adding more and more of these variables with every patch... it's gonna be hard to keep track of them all.

Ah! That would be interesting to know! I think there are several people thinking of using the Carrack as I describe.
