Had some sound issues (no sound when getting hit ? no gatling firing sound) and a disconnect (in singleplayer) but otherwise seems to run good. Mouse controle is pretty lovely and i need to get a joystick asap. Good stuff. what pisses me off most so far is that their uncoupled flight mode. Which just means that you can look around but the flightcomputer always forces you back on the vector you where on when you enabled that mode. To be of any use you have to spam that poo poo on and off. GreenLight fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jun 4, 2014 |

SwissArmyDruid posted:The point of decoupled mode is to let you do crazy poo poo like travel along one vector while your nose is pointed in another. Say, flipping around in place to empty your guns into the rear end in a top hat on your 6. the Problem with it right now is, that it doesnt let you really change the vector you are on while in decoupled mode. Sucks, but as with the arcady gameplay in general i have have hopes for improvement.

I read in an article in the gamestar (beware of german language: http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/star-citizen/artikel/star_citizen,48820,3056240.html ) that chris roberts biggest worry is the development of the new netcode because he has no experience there.quote:Deswegen ist derzeit das zweite Cloud-Imperium-Team in Austin damit befasst, eine völlig neue Netzwerksoftware zu schreiben, die für ihre Berechnungen auf eine ganze Serverfarm zurückgreifen kann. Es ist dieser Teil der Entwicklung, der Chris Roberts als einziger ein wenig Sorgen macht, sagt er, weil er sich darin selbst noch nicht so gut auskennt. I share that and my guess is that netcode/multiplayer is where the game breaks or makes it.

what makes me so far not really play this game is the absolute clusterfuck that calls itself UI. It's impossible to navigate in the UI and change stuff when there is 0 explanation and nothing works. At this point i guess i am experiencing a bug because i saw youtube videos of at least a bit of functionality in the UI. Also not having a proper joystick and mouse control which i dont like. Radar symbols are way to big and lacking any kind of asteriod or building indication. I really hate the decoupled mode because it is not what i hoped for but is sooo close. What i am talking about is that in decoupled mode you can strafe and influence your direction of movement by firing thrusters, but your are all the time forced back on the movement vector your where on while entering decoupled mode. WTF really. I am pretty sensitive here i guess, because a decoupled mode without that forced vector would be pretty much the flight model of a pretty unkown Space MMO from 2001 called Jumpgate and it was the best space game i have ever played. The offical thing shut down already but there are some russians hosting a server which captures the old game. Beware of Ugly graphics: http://jumpgate-tri.org/ Back to SC, while also the ships turn too fast and accelerate/decelerate too fast for my taste, these are all things that can be tweaked. So far so good.

After reading that IFCS post i just need one thing ... As much control over this as possible. Looks like you could build your own "flight model" in their space physics model.  daaamn... gimme more.

Wulfling posted:They just posted a video up, interviewing a Tony Zurovec, who is going to be leading the PU development team in Austin. Not watched it yet, but maybe someone will recognize the name. I sure don't. Sounds like a good guy. He thinks the scope of the game is crazy. Worked at Origins on the Ultima Games and then made Crusader. Didn't like publisher loving around his work and made financial analysis trading software instead and has general interest in economic theory. Chris Roberts picked him up to direct the PU for him including the economic system where his former work will come in handy. Balance and consequences are important for him. Playes BF:DC and Starcraft 2. was the stuff that stuck in my mind.

are you really talking about a different camera angle as "feature" ? what we see is what they created probably from the start since when u want to walk in ships they better look good inside. Why do it quick and dirty first to have to try to fix it later? To be honest that would be something to poo poo about... not the other way around. pretty sure actually that cr tried to show in some first videos of ac how the pilot moves in his chair.

it's not like people in RL appreciate much of their purchases very long. Seeing it once and then knowing its theirs is enough. In Rl like in fiction. Sooo much stuff bought in RL serve just that purpose. You know you could see every little poo poo in your hangar and ships in full detail if you zoom just close enough. Maybe you will do it once and then never again. Knowing that you still COULD do it is enough to make a difference, even if you never do. that 20 minute close detail video of the gladiator btw... boy no. But enough bullshit, it's loving stupid when your already have overblown ambitions for that game and make it even more unrealizable.

i don't think scanning jumppoints is something explorers "do". maybe some will do it once or twice when they are very lucky or have much help. Just because how rare it will be to find and/or do it when cig is ready to add another system. Exploring i think will be more like what octopode said. Looking for the needle in the haystack. More common stuff will probably finding mineable asteroids/special resources. Endgame exploring more like finding abandonded ships/space stations to clean from whatever lurks in them. If they are able to make it.

I am all for that just get your money from the insurance. At least for all the equipment. Would make traders/haulers viable if they can sell equipment to players at respawn locations. I played a space MMO 10 years ago that worked exactly like that. For me the exact right type of death penalty. If you knew which player owned shop to look for you where up and running in minutes with the gear you wanted. But it was dependant on ig action. Sometime the best poo poo was out of stock and it took longer or you made compromises... whatever it was living. Haulers had to supply the factories with stuff (hauling them to a planet) which made stuff that traders hauled to their stations to sell from to make it work. And they made a shitload of money if they knew when and where to sell. None of that poo poo i get in Elite where its just meaningless missions. I hope someone at CIG did play Jumpgate and brings some good ideas in from that time. GreenLight fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Nov 24, 2014 |

Gerbil_Pen posted:With a max crew of 8, it's not really far off from an Idris in crew requirements. Not many people will have properly crewed ships of all sizes, and single-seaters will rule the day. max is not required. They even write in their update that you can have all NPC crew. Doesnt need to be proper, but having two, three, four of the same instead of 1 that is "properly" crewed will be a non issue to choose if funds are out of the picture. But what i am saying is that i hope that the retaliator will limit the viability of capital ships as much as single seaters will limit the viability of the retaliators, so yeah single-seaters will rule the day. But not because they can't crew them properly, moste won't give a poo poo and be captain instead of crewmember even if they have retard NPC as crew only. These guys will be shot down until they can't or want to afford this. If you read this, this is where i think we say the same just different and could just not post. But i won't and click post instead.

If this game is made in all its glory it will remain for a very long time a very unbalanced sandbox. The only way it can resamble balance is by having enough unbalanced options.
