This community is one that had a major space guild self-implode in 2013, primarily thanks to the leader's paranoid goonfear making him forget to take care of his site. By this point no one should be surprised at the goonfear from SC's general community.

Apparently someone on reddit left the game running for 20 hours (with the offline hack) and successfully flew from one location to another with only super cruise. The station and enemies loaded fine at the destination. The players character model however went through some weird distortions, like the pilots hands growing bigger.

Truga posted:I love how the "flight model was garbage" when it's exactly as pitched: Newtonian with a fairly low speed cap to keep engagements fast paced - Freelancer 2.0. It's exactly what the people wanted too, right up until they could play it. I posted a bunch on this topic, and people kept calling me out how wrong I was. Now here we are The flight experience as pitched was shown in the opening trailer: WW2-style air combat in space with chases and staying on people's tails and everything else from the space sim trope. I disagree that what people have now is what was originally advertised. That said what they have is not a bad thing, especially if larger craft have to fly differently.

I'll concede that the flight model we have is nothing like the flight model they still keep showing in their cinematics, which is definitely a bad thing. That said, the flight model CR was describing since pretty much the start is just "straight up Newtonian with a speedcap", and it was really easy to see what kind of baggage that'd drag along with it. I think apart from some control issues, which might have been solved by now if anyone at CIG still cared, they even did a really good job of implementing a low speed 6dof combat. Hell, maybe they even are solved, I just don't have access to a hornet any longer, so I have no idea, because apparently consistent testing matters less than what level I pledged at.

MeLKoR posted:I still regret not having been part of that though, anything that created this amount of PTSD in spergs must have been worth it. One of my favorite memories was from when I first joined the swarm. I was sitting in a lot of low security sectors hunting a few pirate groups that dropped some fairly rare items that went for a nice chunk of change. A guy tried to gank my t1 destroyer with his t3 destroyer and failed pretty misrebly. His lasers didn't even scratch my drakes armor. Managed to kill him and a friend of his that jumped in as he died and went about my business. Went to the next sector and started hunting the npc pirates not thinking much of it. Bad choice on my part. The guys Corp decides to send like 30 guys to kill me. See them all blip in system and I proceed to high tail it to the nearest gate. They followed me through 6 or 7 jumps getting closer each time. And then a miracle took place. DBRB and a goon fleet of about 300 ships jumped in system just as I was about to hit the gate with the guys right on my rear end. They were shooting at me as the swarm appeared in ever increasing numbers and proceeded to rape the guys pretty badly. And that's the story of how I accidently got the swarm to destroy my stalkers. It was a glorious day for the SS Shitshow.

I want to publicly thank Jeff_K for sending me that CIG account with the PTU invite, this was the best money I've spent. The rage of these assholes whenever I ram them a new one is loving Biblical. If they are getting this worked up now just wait until it's no longer just a dozen goons only minimally organized. The wailing and gnashing of teeth when the full extent of goon presence becomes obvious and the serious permanent long term consequences trolling begins will be something for the history books.

neonbregna posted:Is it possible to have a coordinated ramming group or are you not able to play with friends? It doesn't even have to be coordinated ramming, it's enough that a lot of the time there is someone around ramming and stealing ships and ruining their immersion. I've made it my personal goal to see how far they can take it before they throw their hands up in disgust until CIG releases something new that they hope they will be able to enjoy. But by the time that happens it won't be just a dozen goons going mostly solo like me. Why wait for things to come tumbling down by themselves when we can easily troll the old timers and especially the newcomers out of the game with so little effort. The more ganking the less funding I always say. Hey Derek, have you considered making a donation for the Jihad fund? You could easily bank dozens of gankers and then poo poo would really start to get funny. MeLKoR fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Dec 7, 2015 |

Like most of Star Citizen CR's descriptions are intentionally vague enough that they can be used to describe anything. That's because he talks about the tech and not the actual mechanics. That said you're right about SC having a distinct (and often fun) flight experience. It's been months since I played it so I'm not sure how things have change. What bothers me is that CIG has created this really interesting and dynamic flight experience with fast paced action and then hosed it all up with their bullshit fainting and g-force mechanics. It's stupid, especially when you consider that your ship can be spinning at a hilariously high rate and you can walk around the inside like nothing matters.

The game already offers so much. One of my most exhilirating gaming moments of recent times was in PTU 2.0, getting onboard a Constellation where 3 friends tried to go and do missions, crawling in the shadows so they wouldn't notice me and rushing for the pilot seat the moment their pilot got up only to ram the ship into a station killing all of us.

It's not all brownian motion and some coincidences are not just coincidences. Where goons are involved you really shouldn't assume stupidity if malice is an equally valid possibility. But it is true that I'm still learning to fly... See you guys in the Verse.
