imperialparadox posted:These kind of threads always amazes me, because I have a hard time understanding people that are so invested in this game, and spend so much money on this game, that don't even try it - and in some cases don't even like it. I know that everybody doesn't like PVP, but you would think that you would at least want to see if you liked the basic mechanics of the game before you buy the next $300 spergboat. We wouldn't even have what we have now if we all thought that way. Someone has to assume the risk. Just enjoy your cheap ride to gaming bliss I always say. Why discourage those of us who are willing to drop over a grand on your behalf. *edit* Misread apparently. My bad carry on spergs.

Hangar ship sales on Saturday will likely be the Mustang and the Retaliator or Redeemer. Edit, apparently one of those ships will include lti but it's never been sold before (they previously said mustang wouldn't be sold with lti). Anyway, be aware two lti ships this weekend so keep that in mind before doing something stupid and buying a herald. AP fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Get the Constellation Aquila. You and your friends want to be true poopsocks and have a 24-hour Monster Energy Drink and Slim Jim-fueled exploration binge session? Get the Carrack. Wulfling posted:They seem to be moving away from the whole idea of "Small and Nimble" as it makes them less money. IE: the Herald being what, $85? These ships were voted on by the players, so... Naturally Selected posted:Sounds about right. In their current incarnation, missiles are deadly as all gently caress, so it will be interesting to see how things progress once straight out missile boats are in. Come to think of it, this might actually give a use to AWACS-give the big fat slow fucker an ability to use some kind of EWAR/jamming/hacking system to protect your fighters from the massed missile salvos/paint and guide friendly salvos. I picked up a Hornet Tracker for this very reason, pending fun CnC and scanner mechanics.

I know the Retaliator is probably going to be USD$400 or something ridiculous. Wonder if people realize that they are shelling that much money for the Civilian-variant of the Retaliator, which has the bomb bays removed for added cargo space.

I could see them doing that, and the Brown Sea has speculated as such, but it wasn't part of the existing description: quote:The Anvil Carrack has been the vanguard of every UEE exploration effort in recent years. Featuring reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, a highly advanced jump drive array and a dedicated computer core room that allows it to put the maximum processing power into jump charting operations. Originally a military exclusive, the Carrack is now available for civilian use as a pathfinder spacecraft. Features on-board accommodations to allow for truly self-sufficient flight, including crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite capable of always charting a route home!

Rastor posted:Hmm...

That probably umbrella'd from 'jack-of-all-trades' in the description to what we have today. Which opens many details up to interpretation, much like putting a bunch of the charting equipment into a manned probe intended to chart jump points. Banano posted:
God that's one asymmetrically ugly sonuvabitch. Definitely fits the bill, doesn't look like much past having space for a cockpit, engine, computer core and satellite dish for sending/receiving. The entire bottom-half of the ship looks to be the engine, which looks big enough to accommodate a TR4 still. If it still has one, that's an instant-swap with the M50.

Jegan Ace posted:So the Drake is probably going to result in another accelerated Letter from the Chairman again, isn't it? Based upon the demand purely for a cheap (relatively speaking) concept-sale ship to use for the purposes of CCU and get LTI on more expensive ships that have already been launched, this weekend will bring in another $2 million easy. I haven't even mentioned the rumor of two ships going to hangar in the next patch that should be releasing this weekend, which will generate even MORE sales and demand for whatever ships are added to the hangar. And then there's the plain, simple demand for a silly looking asymmetrical ship that functions as a fast delivery ship for space-email. One interesting thing of note so far is that some people have picked up on the fact that, the ship being a Drake ship, it should theoretically have an ulterior motive behind the design that appeals to pirates. So, one going theory is the Herald will be able to turn it's sensor suite in reverse to act as a powerful ECW weapon. Jamming, hacking into other ships systems remotely, scouting for targets, potentially disabling much larger ships. That last one draws some significant similarities to certain Goon practices in EVE, I wonder if CIG will actually give a ship tethering capability like that in this game. I really hope so  .

I love how wish fulfillment is an actual source of value for some people. All CIG would have to do is coyly remark on something like an ulterior motive and people will go apeshit. The best part is that CIG would be under no obligation to follow up because they reserve the right to change their minds for the betterment of the game. Just look at the Cutlass variants.

This is getting insane even in casual conversation, "$85" and "cheap" should not be in the same sentence when discussing a vaporware spaceman game. I can easily see Star Citizen reaching $75+ million dollars over the next two years and the fallout from the crash and burn will be tremendous.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but isn't all this 'saviour of pc gaming' bullshit, really the opposite ? Now every developer and publisher will think it is A OK to charge for every little thing, and jack the price up to boot, they see the huge tidal waves of money being made, of course they'll want some of it All CIG has shown is nerds will pay money for anything, this will only hurt the future of pc games Thanks Croberts!
