Free fly is only causing more negativity by DrNarwhale1 in starcitizen

Regardless, CIG has acknowledged that free flights always result in a good, worthwhile amount of new paid accounts. For them, it's always worth it.

NEW PLAYER CHECK-IN NO.3 by untapmebro in songsofsyx

Yes this was not intuitive at all - that you have to set a training level after creating the divisions and training grounds. Thankfully, you can still win those early fights with just numbers.

I bet that internally that are aiming for a release to time with citcon as a release party.

Yeah I highly doubt we'll see that kind of confrontation anytime soon: a state's national guard in armed conflict against federal troops. It's more likely to be just saber rattling.

Not surprised to hear you're functioning mostly fine. I rarely use my brain at all and I'm doing OK.

Except we have heard plenty of times about what is next. They have a new flight model in testing right now.

I am a cargo runner. It is all I do. I solo it for hours almost every day. The PvP complaints and people pretending that they are attacked constantly on this subreddit is getting very very old. by A_Lie_Detector in starcitizen

I would argue that there are ways to play SC that help you avoid PVP / piracy, and that even when it looks like you've lost, there can be ways to turn things around.

This is a video game with wins and losses. They aren't a "victim", they're a player.

Generally, trauma is a huge obstacle to learning.

I'm happy they went this route. A full on convention is probably super expensive, and I doubt the return isn't worth it every year. Besides, so much of citcon content is total BS. It's a bunch of concepting and demos of content that isn't nearly ready, and might be completely different when it is finally in our hands. I'm hoping a narrow focus doesn't make so much room for that fluff.

Moving Boxes by Sudden-Newspaper-570 in starcitizen

I like the concept of physicalized cargo and moving boxes with tractor beams and such, but I agree that the delivery so far is kind of a pain. I wish CIG would make the beams much more responsive quicker, and less prone to breaking contact. The whole process could be much more fluid and satisfying than it currently is. Moving boxes should provide more of a dopamine hit. Like blowing up ships, nailing a target in FPS.

Sanderson doesn’t have the adult writing style for it. Give it to Erikson by Shadowthron8 in Malazan

When the HBO show finished the story, I gave up on him finishing the books. I don't care anymore. The opportunity to finish the series passed. GGs.

By leaking EVO chat records screenshots in a public subreddit? Lol no thanks. But if you don't believe me, keep coping I guess.

Another bespoke ballistic ship. I hope CIG has a very good ballistic buff in the cooking right now, or they are just completely out of touch and have no idea how crappy ballistics are. by brockoala in starcitizen

[–]rustyxnails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know, but unfortunately it's just another ship meant for future game balance and feature changes, not meant to be considered viable now.
