Colostomy Bag posted:One ship that I feel clipped through cracks is the Herald. Basically a ship wrapped around a giant engine to transport "info" quickly. Yet how does it compare to the megaships as far as speed? It can "accelerate" faster and has a higher top speed when in normal flight- like, 1200 m/s vs 900 m/s for the big cap ships. But during actual travel, i.e. interplanetary, i.e. the part that eats up the most time, it is far, far slower. It takes about 15 minutes to cross the solar system right now. The biggest ship takes less than 3. They justify this by saying that quantum travel time is based on the size of your drive, and capital ships can carry bigger drives therefore will move faster. Of course they ignore the part where this completely undermines the very concept of running around in single seat spacecraft. They're trying to reproduce a WW2 war-in-the-pacific feel, with carriers that travel five times faster than airplanes.

Sarsapariller posted:*stuff* Since you are a brave soul that sometimes actually plays this debacle, I have a question: On  they post lots of screenshots (lol what else to post) of sunrise/sunset and sometimes timelapse videos of some location on one of the moons as it goes through a night/day cycle.How does that stuff currently work in PU? Do the moons rotate around their axis but stay still in space (in relation to each other, the station and the gas giant?), or do they revolve slowly around the gas giant? Do the QT destination points rotate with their parent moon? What happens when you transit from "deep space" to a moon's airspace (you get magically yanked to the now rotating frame of reference?) or vice/versa. Just from casually browsing some SC twitch I cannot figure out how their current implementation works.

The biggest ship takes less than 3. Yeah, but consider the triangle of power in SC: 1) Big ships beat small ships 2) Expensive ships beat cheap ships 3) Newer ships beat older ships. Therefore there is nothing weird with a carrier being faster than a plane.

Sectopod posted:Since you are a brave soul that sometimes actually plays this debacle, I have a question: On Okay this is my brief summary but please understand that this may be wrong and I really don't give enough of a poo poo to correct it anymore: * All planets and moons in the system are stationary relative to the sun and each other. There are no orbital mechanics. * They do rotate in place, however, which is what causes sunrises and sunsets. But you'll never see, for example, eclipses or travel times changing because planets are coming closer. * Space stations are definitely locked in geostationary orbit around the planets. Grim Hex is always in exactly the same place relative to the drug spawn areas, for example. * I don't know what would happen if you turned off flight assist and came to a halt above a planet. Eventually gravity might pull you down? * Atmospheric re-entry is entirely a particle effect that is triggered when you travel past a certain speed in-atmosphere. The speed cap was raised to the point that you rarely see it anymore. * QT points around the planets might be locked in place relative to the surface. Some people assert that that is the case, and give directions based on them? On the other hand, I've had moments where I left a QT point to go to the planet and suddenly the QT point zoomed off away from me at thousands of miles per hour. I'm still not certain. ---------- TLDR: Planets in this game are big stationary objects that turn in place to produce day/night cycles but do not otherwise have any form of newtonian motion.

They rotate but their waypoint system is not designed to handle this. So if the destination is on the other side it will drop you in the wrong place. At least it doesn't try to ram you thru the core of the planet, as it did before. Oh, and there are no orbital mechanics (outside the stations, which rotate with the planet), so after a jimp you're just moving at stupid slow speed while the planet rotates, take that into consideration to reach your objective. But don't worry citizen, they are planning to begin thinking about how to start work on it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVR3Z-e6yIM&t=1036s

Citizens can't talk about the stuff that's faked because that would cause a rift in the spacetime continuum and mean the BDSSE is just a hacked together CryEngine mod. So they just ignore all that poo poo and - ooh look, sunset on Daymar with a citizen posing heroically.

Probably, I know you used to be able to hit it just from falling. TBH I can't recall seeing it in the last three months at all, but then I've only booted the game up like once in that time frame.

Leaks about this year's CitizenCon based on some images from the SC Leaks discord. There's going to be another long in-game demo with tons of long, pointless travel but some new tidbits for Citizens to lose their minds over: * A new ship will be debuted, the Anvil Pisces- what this is, who the gently caress knows. Given how they've been trending, probably another Hammerhead-sized ship in the 700 dollar range. * Debut of the Anvil Carrack which is/was supposed to release in December, who cares, exploration ship in a game with no exploration. * Travel to the "Jump Point" which could be the first hint that they are actually going to try to stand up a second solar system in the game and try to use the single new wormhole as some kind of prop to sell "Exploration" gameplay. It'd basically be like exploring the tram from Ironforge to Stormwind. * Supposedly it will be the "Pyro" system on the other side. Given how terminally poo poo they are at producing planets for these things, I wouldn't bet on it containing new assets produced in secret over the last year. Likely they will move Delamar there- they already pulled that planet out and away from the gas giant to kind of get it "Ready" for the move.

It's important to note that absolutely none of this jump point or new system poo poo is on the roadmap, once again. Not that that really has any bearing on whether or not they were working on it, but it amuses me that they continually obfuscate what they're actually doing. Chris's insistence on having some big "Wow" moment at the cons completely fucks the public scheduling. Citizens are going to herald this as the big change that finally makes Star Citizen a real game, forgetting that CIG already said they'd be limited to what, 3 systems at launch? This is probably as big as the game world's going to get. The second it can play stably for more than a couple hours Chris is going to start eyeing the "Final release" button, you idiots.

monkeytek posted:I don't get why they use this example to brag about how amazing the game is. I mean it sounds like an extremely small zone with very limited interaction. There was a a lot of disappointment among the Citizenry when it launched. They had dreamed for years that CIG's amazing procedural planet tech would generate limitless playable areas with millions of life-like NPCs generating endless amounts of game play content. They would spend hours on Reddit arguing about which planet would be their video game forever home. Hurston and ArcCorp launched to a pretty big thud and much of what's left of the community is still wallowing in that disappointment. But the Cultists will still shout them down and claim that everything in still "early days" and "tier-o" and all their dreams will come true in current year plus two.

skeletors_condom posted:3.5 years Like you can twist yourself in knots trying to say development REALLY started in current year minus three, but that just makes the project look even worse. It means they blew through 100+ million dollars "building a company" and "refactoring" with almost nothing to show for it. Of course the reall answer is that Chris went wild right of the gate blowing millions on mocaping A-list actors and outsourced most of the development to third party studios; and most of the work had to be thrown out due to poor oversight. He didn't spend four years picking out office furniture at IKEA. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Sep 12, 2019 |

Klyith posted:This is why star citizen has become pretty boring as a spectator sport. Crobbler is Chris and especially Sandi are in hiding now. It’s not in question. Sandi has appeared twice in 2019, and on both occasions in bit parts. She used to co-anchor a weekly show AND have her own weekly sketch infotainment like “Sandi goes to Flight School” and “Empire Report” (starring Beck Rossum!) Plus she’d do walk-on appearances on Reverse the Verse sometimes too. Chris had “10 for the Chairman” and all his other appearances. He’d do Wing Commander Q&As with Ben. He’d do “meet the developer” sit downs and show those golden fingertips through which godcode flowed... Those days are long gone. Chris may show up once a quarter for a show. He puts in the absolute bare minimum time he has to to keep fans from assuming he’s flown to his own non-extradition island escape. But ever since they talked Calder into writing that nearly $50 million check for Squadron marketing, they’ve all but vanished. This is good for Star Citizen. eonwe posted:is there a goon guild for this game yet
