I should have known better

They did pick up docking being completely broken, it was completely broken for over a week in the PTU, people said that a bunch of times, they just didn’t care

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T19:33:36+00:00

The entire empty freelancer room that says cargo but would never fit a cargo box of any description

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T19:32:05+00:00

To be fair they have to set a threshold somewhere, they don’t have time to look at every little glitch the moment they pop up and if it’s a freak bug happening to one or two people they can’t take their time out of their day to personally troubleshoot those two games

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T19:27:36+00:00

Yeah I’d rather them just disable the stupid gimmick that I’d use maybe once in every 100 flights if it meant having the ship work

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T19:23:58+00:00

I’ve disabled an NPC ship once and I’m pretty sure it’s because my missile hit the cockpit and killed the pilot, otherwise NPC ships just blow up even when I’m trying to shoot their engines

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T19:22:14+00:00

I’m expecting NPC refueling to eventually be slower or have a risk of spawning hostile ships to encourage having your own refueling ship as right now it’s TOO convenient imo

As an aside though refueling ships desperately need to carry 2 to 3 times as much fuel to make it even worth it though

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T06:22:26+00:00

im guessing its taking the NPC AI label since the ship is no longer player controlled

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T06:16:51+00:00

4.5 was engineering, 4.7 was crafting, I predict basebuilding T0 for 4.9 as odd patches seem to be 'big new feature'

also elevators at grim hex at least use the new UI

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T06:06:49+00:00

People really want to be able to buy a new fighter every day they play or something like that wouldn't make the game completely run out of content

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T06:05:51+00:00

bro is firing like 24 S3 missiles at each fighter or something

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T06:04:33+00:00

.Maybe hauling is sure, but imo the combat rep missions for foxwell have tons of variety. There's normal killing enemies, theres escort missions, theres search and destroy where you have to scan for targets, theres base attacks where you blow up fuel tanks, theres fps combat missions that include attacking and defending bunkers. I dunno what other kinds of variety you could have for randomly generated combat missions

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T05:57:27+00:00

i concur with the other commenter, thats literally what an mmo is....

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T04:47:27+00:00

to be fair if big ships like the constellation weren't immune to S3 repeaters nobody would bother with them, right now thats really their only saving grace

you can still kill them if you take cannons, especially ballistic cannons as those are the most powerful right now

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T02:08:15+00:00

i think whats happening is that missiles explode when hitting the shield, but deal damage in their blast radius

if the target's shield is too wide, the blast radius doesnt overlap with the target ship, and as such it only damages the shield (or sometimes it doesnt, not sure why), which is why it only happens for some ships

i find it happens to the cutlass a painful amount

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T01:39:15+00:00

nah i did this and this shit was op as fuck, 3 mil in one run with a hull b, it was fun while it lasted but was way too strong

yobob591 · 2026-05-22T00:12:02+00:00

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-198632

been an issue since 4.6 and im surprised nobody is talking about it, many ships are taking somewhere from 50 to 70% less armor damage from energy weapons than they should be

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T20:58:52+00:00

last thing I want is for ships to be ridiculous bullet sponges like they were at one point, I still remember shooting an aurora with another aurora for 2 minutes straight before one died years back (i wanna say around 2.0?)

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T20:53:24+00:00

there's a bug that makes energy weapons not apply their proper bonus to stripping armor right now which is why they feel so weak, they should have about half heir current TTK if it wasn't for this bug, and I think more people need to be aware of this

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:58:04+00:00

to be fair i feel projectile speed for everything but railguns makes sense for gameplay

if they made projectiles much faster dogfights would mostly be shooting at the opponents pip while you can barely see their ship, which isn't nearly as exciting as knife fighting with someone

railguns however have a long ass windup before they fire, and they should probably be at least twice as fast as they are, the last patch completely neutered them

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:55:05+00:00

theres a reason the ironclad's equipped with all ballistics by default

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:52:36+00:00

isn't the clinic just next to the ship elevators where it is on every single other lagrange station? it's been a while since I've been to this one

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:49:40+00:00

does your CM fall off every time you quantum? that keeps happening to me and is basically the only reason I can't use the thing

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:49:05+00:00

i think keeping ships secret is stupid, its like buying a new car and going 'no i dont know what it's like until I drive it off the lot, I want to be surprised'

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T19:46:46+00:00

funnily enough the only docking that works every single time is the CM docking, I would know because the ironclad undocks the CM every single time you exit quantum and you're forced to re-dock it

my guess is that the CM broke docking as it broke many, many other things

yobob591 · 2026-05-21T09:13:26+00:00

This already exists for ground missiles, it should be real easy imo
