After playing Elite and ArCom for a while now, my x52 pro isn't really that much more beneficial than two cheap rear end sticks. I'll probably toss the drat thing on eBay or Craigslist. Hell, I could probably use my single stick and orbweaver to be honest.

Av027 posted:Even with all the buttons? I have a function mapped to every button, and each HAT position (all 3), excluding the toggle switches on the stick base, which I may use eventually. I even mapped functions to the mouse button and the mousewheel click on the throttle (you can do this if you leave the properties panel open in windows - the test tab). I have TrackIR, and the twitch functions for managing systems I'll just tie into Voice Attack. Anything not twitch related can remain on the keyboard. The only thing I'll miss is having a settable throttle, but I have some ideas on how to work that. gently caress, now that I think about it, a gamepad + voice attack is all I need.

There's a video from a guy who uses it to play ED, he was docking and about to land when his girlfriend came up behind him and yelled "boost!" Ao that his afterburner kicked on and he rocketed into the control tower.

Both will make it into the game. Christ said he'll put it to a vote, and who honestly would vote no? I'm hoping 3Dingo, IXM, Tallon, Shimapan and Cryo make it in as well, maybe not as a gunship but tweaked a bit. 3Dingo and IXM could be heaving fighters, Shimapan a gunship in its own right, and Tallon a giant space dildo. Cryo's would be a great light fighter.

DasKuend posted:Hello dear people, As someone who j4g'd long ago but never actually joined, seriously look around you'll find threads that are much more interesting (at least for now). I used to think this was all like GBS but I was pleasantly wrong. I'm struggling to keep interest but I've only played AC a couple times. Maybe when my absurdly high citizen number comes up that'll change. I have a feeling the retaliator will be up very soon. Until then it's a waiting game until the Avenger comes out.

The only thing CIG has going for it right now is a better org and multiplayer plan like the PU. And even that isn't even in existence yet. I was a huge defender of this game but watching Elite chug along with an economy, 50 systems, missions, double the ships, and multiplayer it makes SC's glorified game of space invaders look like poo poo. CIG is a large company, has other companies doing much of the work for them, and still can't actually show significant progress other than an occasional prepared video on concepts. Planetside? After 6+ months they have a parking lot and tiny room. But oh it has a CRANE. FPS? There was a leaked video showing 4 guns. That's it. Website? None of the org integration that was promised months ago to be done by now. There are 3 ships "done" and others still in concept for over a year. I can't believe people are still throwing money at this poo poo.

Knifegrab posted:Did you see the latest changelog for elite? It's absolutely massive. I did. And what got me is that this is a list covering only a couple months. CIG has exponentially more resources and is moving along much slower. As said above they're spending so much time worrying. About modeling towels, models, cranes, and MOCAP that they forget they are making a space game. It's like a guy who sets out to furnish a patio but ends up buying new furniture, a zen garden, pool, and grotto and spending all the time building something while the neighbor next door just throws some nice furniture out and starts to party. It means nothing to have amazing "fidelity" if the product isn't released.

Well I'm in the 300k so seems pointless. Hey, since they built a Scout and got it all snazzy, wonder if they'll do the drat Avenger eventually, or am I wrong in thinking that's too logical of a decision?

AP posted:I don't think it's relevant at all I just posted it as it's kinda funny that someone will spend the time to compare like that. But there is more pressure on Star Citizen delivering now and it's only going to build when they break 50 million. I'll have to admit, when I first saw ED's patch list (and the fact they have pathed 1.0 for 3 days every single day with a patch longer and more productive than 12.5 I compared the two as well. Thankfully I'm able to play Elite, and fly with other goons. right now Elite is insanely more fun to play, the controls are mappable, TrackIR works, and is more than two rooms. I will admit SC looks better graphically, but graphics only take you so far. I think CIG needs to really step up because the fact it is now August and most people still can't play online is hitting some raw nerves. We were told we would likely be playing online "within a week" of June's release. Yeah.

I'm trying to remain hopeful but with CRoberts outright saying "$50 million is not enough we will need more" because they have added in so much bullshit, it is very difficult. And given how yeah, the textures are great, the ship models collide like toys- gently caress, the landing gear doesn't even go up. On top of that it's "immersive" but bullshit to play the game and have one lucky shot send you into a spin that you can't recover from. The IFCS model feels very dry and I can't explain it but there's no connection to the ship. The thrusters might be accurate but they don't feel right. They feel like they act with too sharp of a curve between 0-100%. This is a module 2 years in development and what was touted as "almost ready" 4 months ago. They've had Behavior Interactive, Which has spent the entire year working on the asteroid hangar. Illfonic has done gently caress knows what, and there's nothing to show for a year'a worth of work. CGbot is STILL working on one ship, the Idris. These are all studios moving at a snail's pace. Compare the past monthly reports. Forget the normal Goon smug humor and really take a look at how little has been done (or wasted) and you'll start to see that there is a possibility that this game will end up stuck in development hell. Oh, it's a good thing they spent all that time on the m50, a ship that can't do a loving thing in AC since it doesn't have poo poo for weapons.

AP posted:I don't really have any expectations as I'm losing interest. If possible I'd patch fun in asap as that would buy them a lot of time. I've been playing Elite much more than AC. I have a feeling that CIG has noticed people essentially flocking away and to ED, that's why Capture the Core was released before Gamescom as opposed to during. I'm hoping this continues because the only thing that seems to make CIG actually move their asses and work are brown sea upheavals.

warcrimes posted:The gently caress does one have to do with the other? They're not supposed to tease future features until every single-seat ship is in the game? How stupid are you? because CIG doesn't put the cart before the horse. Ever. It's one of the base model pledge ships and has been broken and broken more before it once again gets a "do over." But you're right, it's loving ludicrous to think earlier steps should be done before dealing with more complicated poo poo.

double riveting posted:Elite doesn't count because it's just HD window-dressing over an old concept where Star Citizen dares to explore fully newtonian toilet physics. Scope! The problem with Elite is that rewards are skewed highly in favor of trading and the grouping mechanics suck, essentially driving everyone to be a space trucker.
