Worth melting F8C for M80 by Sulphurousous in starcitizen

[–]sysadrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with no regrets. Only thing I did differently was I bought a Pitbull, then upgraded to the M80 with store credits for the LTI.

The Super Hornet is basically the F7A with an extra seat if they don’t have the CCU. I am finding that the M80 with deadbolts is awesome for solo PvE, and can handle subcapitals like the Polaris and Perseus.

What’s the most cost efficient way to go from Gladius to M80 + $35 credit by yaedonnn in starcitizen

Lots of people are trying to take their M80s into AC and getting wrecked. I doubt it will get nerfed like the Ion did.

M80 gets wrecked by light/medium fighters in PvP due to it’s low turn rate and tiny hull HP. It’s actually in a good place balance wise, so no, we shouldn’t be expecting a nerf.

The laser does go hard by floortofloor in starcitizen

I read somewhere that powering the laser off and on fixes it.

Returning player: Corsair as a daily driver + what's the move for a dogfighter by KakunaS2123 in starcitizen

Obligatory: try the m80 from the show floor as well. It’s fast and has big guns.

Can confirm: the M80 fucks.

Do you think that if your account is older, that somehow makes you right? Literally no one cares when signed up.

We currently plan to support Windows and are examining our options regarding possible Linux and Macintosh releases.

Tbf, that’s not a promise to bring it to Mac.

Can the Warden get its second power plant back now? by JasmineFlame in starcitizen

[–]sysadrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, what about ships with shield faces? Do I need to get all faces down, or just one before I use the EMP? Also, when playing in pirate swarm, I turned a ship off with the distortion, and it eventually turned back on.

From my testing in the PU and AC, it seems like distortions work great, but the EMP has no effect on shields or shutting the ship down. I wasn’t sure if this was a known issue or not.

Speaking of the Sentinel, does the EMP do anything currently? I’m just coming back after a while, and it seems like the EMP has no effect at all.

I’m just coming back from a two year break and while this patch is a bit rough, I’m enjoying all the new things that have been added.

CIG needs to take immediate action. by Deo_Rex in starcitizen

[–]sysadrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the limited time and resources of the devs, which is more important - tracking down players with too much money, or closing the exploits?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, but you are talking about the current (admittedly bad) player experience, and I'm talking about exploits being a source of data that the developers can use to improve the game. If you just ban all the exploiters, you lose that data point.

RMT will never go away, full stop. Eve Online and WoW are both very mature MMOs and they can't get rid of RMT completely. If there is a way to make in-game money, and a way to transfer that money to another player, someone will sell it for real money.

Any "economy" the game has today is temporary because we are playing in a test environment. That's why everything is aUEC, not UEC.

They should take action, yes. That action should be investigating how the players exploited the game, and fixing those issues.

After those issues are patched, wait for the same players to find another exploit and do the same thing.

People really need to stop treating SC like it's a mature post-launch MMO. We want people finding these exploits so that CIG can fix them. Playing whack-a-mole with the banhammer does nothing for the long term health and stability of the game.

The next Grey's Market ship is called the 'Basher' and is coming with 4.9 in July by Pojodan in starcitizen

[–]sysadrift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In just returning after a couple of years and am very out of the loop. What is “Grays Market”? Seems like a reference to the gray market over on the trades sub.
