Lol this thing being the only ship that can do quantum interdiction is amazing. It almost makes me want to get one because griefing somebody 10 minutes into their 15 minute travel is loving  Too bad it'll be broken as gently caress.

Based on skimming that fawning Newsweek article (lol) it seems like its gonna be seriously undergunned but tbh you can pull people out of quantum in a 10,000-20,000 meter sphere and it's entirely passive (it charges up and deploys, like the EMP) so your victims cant do anything about it aside from find you and kill you. Its gonna be a nightmare lol.

Newsweek has all the exclusives...quote:"It's not just another ship. It's a ship and a feature coming together and being launched straight out there." quote:It launches in bleeding-edge Evocati testing later this week and is planned to be on live servers sometime around the game's anniversary on October 10. In the months ahead, then, CIG has many plans for the future of this ship and its hallmark feature. quote:As Crewe admitted, the sheer vastness of the Star Citizen universe also creates some curious snags. "One thing that people might see as a bug is the expectation that every time you fire this thing off you're going to get a hit," he said. "That's probably not going to be the case. We're going to try and limit those dead catches as best we can, but it is a very situational thing."

Gotta love the new "jpg" is proudly advertised as "straight to flyable" from announcement to live, so buy now. Meanwhile, you've still got ships bought years ago that have not been seen. I mean I know it's not new behavior, but seeing the "straight to flyable" advertised as a good thing makes me think of that. Oh, and this is the interdiction ship, because you gotta keep escalating to keep the jpb money flowing.

Once it gets fully released I'm sure the astroturfing accounts will start pushing it hard. It's "unexplainable" how the pattern is new ship announced, reddit complains, new ship released, everyone talking about how great the new ship is. It's almost as if all the people who pop up after the ship releases are just there to hype/sell the product. Odd I know.

some fan did a comic called 'anchor' a while back that was way cooler than just having one ship in the whol' galaxy that can do it.quote:This is especially true given that, as Tome described, using the Mantis' Quantum Enforcement Device is a huge drain on the vehicle's power to defend. "Because the activation and tethering of the Quantum Enforcement Device will require a lot of power and generate a lot of heat, you'll have to turn down other systems. That's the way we're going to balance it so that you won't have full shields, full thrusters and full weapons." If there's any solace in that at all, it's that others in your party will be informed of every ship you've captured. Ship is designed to be useless by itself. Your engines are crippled so people will just fly away from you and jump out. Though its not like you could kill them in the first place, since your weapons and shields are crippled too. For piracy you have to have some idiot to volunteer to fly the Mantis. They get to be useless in a fight while being the #1 target.

Making every gameplay system exclusive to single ships is such a weird design choice. I mean, I know why they're doing it - to sell ships - but it would make much more sense, from a lore and gameplay perspective, for these things to be attachable modules and such for other ships. Why would you get a bunch of these little interdiction ships instead of just putting that functionality on a bigger ship that can actually, you know, fight? The only practical application of this is piracy, after all.

To my understanding, if The Star Citizen's "Persistent Universe" wants to truly be a living, breathing, universe world, then there must have to be "countermeasures" to allow the defending player not to be disadvantaged by the ability of an attacking player to choose the engagement. That's, at least, how I see it. Wise Learned Man fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Sep 24, 2019 |

The idea that SCs servers will be able to handle a few of these bubbles in relation to ships flying around and determine when a ship is "snared" will be fun to see. I imagine the first time more than 1 of these on a server is up and running it'll crash the server.

Going back to Freelancer, the cruise disruption missiles seem like a better method of putting this into gameplay. Stopping someone from fleeing. The current method is to sit around in deep space waiting for somebody to come along, and then being blown up by them because your ship sucks?

Zaphod42 posted:~ METZEN ~ The SC2 campaign was so cringe worthy outside of the occassional fun set piece. Sure, Raynor thought Kerrigan was hot in the first game and was angry when she got abandoned, but we really did not need some weird redemption love story arc taking up half the campaign in the sequel. Beet Wagon posted:One of the biggest changes was how small the "universe" felt in the second one. The first one was written in a way that made you feel like something of a bit player in events, even though you were in charge of some "big" heroes or whatever. It felt like you were a small cog in a huge machine that just happened to pull through and save the day. By SC2 the game is more about the hero characters than anything else, and it loving sucks. It's hard to describe but it's sorta the same problem retail WoW has for a lot of people. Making the player a character in a big SC1 universe where the Protoss are going around glassing planets that the Zerg invaded was definitely a good move and the whole SC2 experience being focused on boring characters is just so uninteresting by comparison.

tooterfish posted:the best half of Fleetwood Mac... Woah there, while i love Mad Mick and John McVie is a god on bass, Buckingham is an awesome guitarist and responsible for many of their hits. And of course Nicks is one of the few people in music who is allowed to wear a top hat and get away with it, the other two being Slash and Noddy Holder. Also of course a shout out to Christie McVie for being responsible for Everywhere, one of my favourite Mac songs. They all are awesome. For those not familiar with Noddy Holder, another great, yet crazy British band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK2F7jjnuoM Now, after listening to that, light up a joint, and listen to one of the most stoner tunes ever, by the early Fleetwood Mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ_wA_EvOoo Oh, and also got to throw the great Jethro Tull into the mix as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0GAuexrVzo Agony Aunt fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Sep 24, 2019 |

Sabreseven posted:Sssshhhhhh, we must remain silent while the Kilrathi carrier flies over us in case they hear us in the vacuum of space and attack. I think the original series of Star Trek also had an episode where both sides in a battle went to minimal power and just kept listening on passive sensors like submarines. Finally, someone knocked an object off of a console and the sound from it hitting the floor somehow alerted the enemy kilometers away in space, causing both sides to go full power and fire again. It only hit me in hindsight just how dumb that is.

Popete posted:The idea that SCs servers will be able to handle a few of these bubbles in relation to ships flying around and determine when a ship is "snared" will be fun to see. My bet is the delay will cause one of two results: 1. By the time the capture is recorded the player ship will be far enough away that once it drops out, it will be in a location no where near the interdiction. Maybe as added fun they will rubberband back to the interdiction ship! 2. The ship will carry on as if nothing happened but every time they try to engage QT they will receive a message stating they are interdicted, thus forcing a hard restart of the game, at which point they will be flagged for combat logging! WINWIN!

quote:straight-to-flyable  Imagine having to clarify, with specific terminology, that what you just advertised and sold in your game for hundreds of dollars per piece is actually going to be usable in any capacity whatsoever by the people who bought it in any specific time frame. Imagine one of your highlights, part of the sizzle, is being able to implement the mechanic which that object is for when it ends up in the game. I can only imagine EA and Ubisoft and Activision execs looking on in sick envy.
