Ah yea, that thread.

I'm wondering if CIG really doesn't see it as an issue and wonders what we are all complaining about, or if they just simply do not want to spent the time and resources making the ships completely modular.

I'm not against the whole variant idea. Its not as cool as a base hull you can turn into anything you want, but it still would be a great game regardless. However if they are going down that route they need to explain why, apologize their asses off, and show how they can make it just as fun.

Honestly though, how many people bought the original crappy looking constellation because it was listed as being "the most modular". Now I just own a phoenix because of that class 9 hardpoint (Costing me $100 more).

Ben answered a few questions about the 890J.

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/3684233/#Comment_3684233

One of the best questions with a hilariously rage inducing answer for retaliator owners im sure :

quote:

4a) Where does CIG feel like this ship should fall in terms of max speed, compared to the other ships? Faster / slower than... a Constellation? Retaliator? Cutlass? 300i? etc

This is a surprisingly difficult question, given that the ships are modular in this respect; but from the stock ships, the 890 Jump should be around the same speed as the Retaliator. (With the design concept being: it should be fast for a capital ship, but slow compared to single-seaters.)

I'm honestly curious: to those who say that Elite is well-made but "boring," why do you think SC will be any different? They talk about being able to do exploring, trading, mining, etc in the PU, so I'm not really sure why the SC version of all that will be magically more entertaining. :confused:

I suspect it will be just as empty and boring, but it will be extremely detailed and empty and boring.

Star Citizen never had a funding goal of 7 million or was that limited in scope. Pretending that it did must be some sort of weird gaming hipster-ism or something where you only like Star Citizen back before it was cool.

In actual non-shitposting content, here's a big image from the latest Chairman's letter:


Despite CIG's attempts to rename the filename to hide the ship's identity, they left the Adobe metadata in place, revealing the original file as Carrack_WIPv4_004.

Given that the Carrack at least appears to have a multi-level bridge, I think it's safe to assume it's going to end up being quite a bit bigger than the original stats, like the Reclaimer did.

It's gonna be $350. It makes sense, they all are roughly on that level and size.

Phoenix (General) : $350
Reclaimer (Salvage) : $350
Carrack (Explore) : $350?
Hull-C (Transport) : $350?
Orion (Mining) : $350?

This. As long as the magic crowd funding money fountain spews forth cash and cocaine the game will forever be subject to scope creep.

Honestly I might feel a bit better if we see multi-crew stuff released in AC along with an FPS demo because at least then we'll know in principle that its all working together even if the content isn't there.

Im fine with scope creep. As long as they complete each part piece by piece instead of delaying the game for 10 years.

if there is leftover cash in our RSI account, does it get converted to space money, or does it vanish when the PU goes live if we don't buy some poo poo?

Neither.

You will still be able to buy vanity items and such on the store after the PU goes live.

I'd really like it if CIG actually released something new. Star Citizen has basically been MWO with spaceships for months now - they tell us about all this stuff that they are working on, but the only thing we actually get are new ship sales for stuff to look at in our hanger (or dream about really, with all these concept sales for things that don't even exist).

At least the FPS part of the game is coming out soon (it will be delayed of course), but I would kind of like it if free-flight mode was expanded to have the ability to visit a few different systems or something. CIG keeps talking about how all these separate games are going to magically come together to make the PU, but you would think that they would have a bit more to show for it by now. Even if it was just the ability to fly a ship out of the hanger and visit a few planets in a star system, it would show that the game they hype (the PU) is actually being built, not just Star Warrior Online. :shrug:

Its been three years... I'm no video game expert, but isn't that an insanely short amount of time for something this large.

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. :shrug:

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.

Star Citizen can't crash and burn at this point, even if it released right this moment, they could slap together multiship crew play and double precision and we'd still have the game that was originally promised pretty much.

Bullshit. You claimed if they slapped double precision and multicrew on top of what we have right now would fulfill the original promise. That is so far from true you're in loving china. We'd have a bad P2W World of Tanks clone with starships. No singleplayer. No PU. And sure as poo poo not the private servers they promised (that realistically they'll never actually release because they'd cut into their money machine).

Its all there black and white, literally phrase by phrase.

The original pitch wasn't so grand, its just been expanded one giant promise at a time.

Soooo the FPS module looks pretty cool.

That said, if this is a realistic shooter with short TTK, how are respawn mechanics going to work? According the CR you'll have your inheritors replace you or some poo poo, but what's the point of an FPS if you can't respawn at some stage?

Imagine you spend 30-40 minutes flying to this site to take it over or whatever. Game finally loads, get into it and some guy who's been waiting for you five mins headshots you from across the room. What next? That's going to be a serious gameplay issue that is going to have to be addressed somehow.

Don't quote me, but I believe the idea is to have "lives" in the sense you will lose limbs and be permanently damaged and such. This is also why medical bays are so important because they will prevent a loss of one of these "lives".

Someone should let them know they can't claim realistic physics when if you shoot a gun in 0-gravity not only will the bullet go one way, but your person will go one way as well, so all those people slipping around horribly would more realistically be doing back-flips and flying backwards. Using the actual physics calculation for an AK-47, each bullet fired would propel them around 1ft/sec backwards.

Honestly it would be have been a lot more entertaining to watch than whatever the gently caress that was.
