The Super-Id posted:I've made it to Aberdeen but I don't have any idea how to find anything on the surface. The maps and navigation tools in this game seem completely useless. Yeah this too, for some reason you can only see distant destinations after you spool your quantum drive. Good luck guessing what any of the random strings of characters actually represent. Is it a planet? Is it a space station? Who knows! Prepare yourself for 10 minutes of swirling blue warp effects until you find out. Oh also I couldn't figure out how the nav map works. Apparently it's F2 but I tried that and it appears to show nothing. I tried zooming out with mouse scroll but that did nothing.

Good news everyone! I finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of being incarcerated in Star Citizen. It turns out trespassing at Klescher was enough of a crime that I got a real crime stat. The turrets at the prison started shooting me but did not seem able to damage the shields of my mighty freelancer before they regenerated so I rammed myself into them and blew up. Upon waking in prison I finally felt a sense of accomplishment. I got a mining tool and mined a rock. I was not expecting there to be a little mini game for mining, but I had to use my mouse wheel to keep a line in a little green zone so that I could successfully mine the rock (yay). Then I made a friend and followed him into the escape tunnels where he was shortly forced to abandon me when I became stuck in a rock face and could not get out. 10/10 I'm off to buy an Idris now and I'm afraid I'll have to stop posting here because of all the FUD. See you in the verse!

Greenplastic posted:Wait a second, what happened at the end there? Did he get teleported back into prison? Do you just immediately teleport to prison if you get commit a crime? I thought you had to die first or something It seems it's dual bugs. The trespassing one giving them a new crimstat the minute the old one runs out, and then the lift bugging (and killing them?) as they try to get out. There are other fun ones too. A regular one is the lift teleporting them to the middle of space instead.

Oh, that's going to be good! The more money CIG makes the bigger the farce it becomes. At some point even the most deluded backers aren't going to be able to compare the cost of SC with any other game. Its already funny as hell when they try and compare the cost of delivering a full product with a buggy alpha.

Speaking of flight models, I recently completed an air-to-air refueling in the DCS F-14B for the first time, and I'm so happy. My hands were cramping, sweat was pouring down my forehead, but I was smiling like an idiot. It's so many things to take into account, the turbulence from the tankers engine, the wind, the small but crucial delay in translating your throttle movements into actual mechanical engine parts movement, the constant altering of your nose attitude depending on small airspeed changes, and so on. I've never flown a real F-14, and never will, but goddamn it's a good flight model that really sucks you in. And then I look at that Idris video, or for that matter any SC-video with space ships in them....

colonelwest posted:Yeah all of the years of work that go into just creating these landing zones, and they all just boil down to the same small maze of metallic corridors and a space mall. This is supposed to be a fascist and plutocratic Space Roman Empire, ruled by giant interstellar corporations, but it’s all played completely bland and straight like it’s a good and normal thing. None of it has any imagination or edge to it. It’s like watching a 90’s instructional video about investing in the stock market. it comes across as the arse end of the empire. like some forsaken mall in rural america. irrelevant to the rest of the universe except as a few lines in some corporations spreadsheets.

God, I loved that ship so much during the concept days. Finally getting it in the hangar and walking around the completely stupid inside parts was one of the first things that made me go "I'm not sure these guys know what they're doing." It's nice to know CIG continues to disappoint. Look how they massacred my boy.

Dwesa posted:This is hilarious yet painful to watch. All those useless signs with names of imaginary corporations or whatever and no clear directions. It reminds me of Tel Aviv central bus station, which was designed to get lost inside. This is extremely appropriate when you consider that the Tel Aviv central bus station was supposed to be completed by the late 1960s and was such a clusterfuck that it only opened in the early 1990s with half the planned features missing, and since then it was pretty much abandoned

Sarsapariller posted:You were at another surface vehicle spawn pad- that's why your ships weren't available. I don't blame you the layout of the spaceports is confusing as hell and there is absolutely nothing to differentiate the surface vehicle spawners from the space spawners. So if you go to that place you can start killing people? Like half the tutorial messages I got was about weapons, killing, silent takedowns, etc.

The Titanic posted:So if you go to that place you can start killing people? Like half the tutorial messages I got was about weapons, killing, silent takedowns, etc. Well... no, it's still an armistice zone. I don't know why they spam a bunch of tooltips about how to kill people on foot, the closest "Kill people on foot" zone with actual killable NPC's is probably going to be that one security station where you reset your crime stat, but it's a substantial flight away from any spawn point. I think the devs just got so proud of how you can maybe choke somebody now that they forgot that they'd built a game where it's basically impossible to get in a situation where you might ever need to.

So I hadn't checked this thread in about a week and I saw that there was a SQ42 video that was supposed to be released, but had been delayed. I went through 20 pages to make sure I didn't miss when it had been released and posted here. I should have known better.

That, too, was delayed, but I expect a video explaining that to come along shortly. Meanwhile you can hop into the bad model viewer and noclip around the physics-free really bad "spaceships" like lots of others here. It's like an "org!"

Umm, they don't want to release the video during Invictus, because if the video sucks or is bad news (which let's be honest, is most likely the case), then it will hurt Invictus sales.

Do you remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind, when the aliens spent forever just screwing around with people? Stealing their poo poo, beaming dreams and visions into their brains, conditioning them to answer the call, to the point where they ignored their families, obsessed over stupid stuff, filled rooms with replicas of poo poo the aliens had shown them, until their families left, and they were all alone? That is the way you need to think about what CIG is doing.
