OhDearGodNo posted:I have a very solid feeling that the mechanics will change to where every ship can be fully crewed by NPCs except for your character, and will add to the costs of running the ship. Your friends will be able to possess them when needed, then back to where they were after. Actually multi-crewing is the main reason my fiancee and me are interested in this vapourware. While War Thunder wants to have multicrewing in "sometime in the future". SC is planned with it in mind. If it becomes as good or (hopefully) better done than in WWIIOL, then we'll fly 90% in MC ships. Preferably the Super Hornet or Cutlass. Semi-agile ship + competent turret gunner = Teamwork is OP. Bonus: If the turret gunner gets the kill credit; extra pubbie tears will be extracted by "randompubbie has been killed by Tank Girl Barbie".

Considering this is dogfighting in SPACE, we can assume that pubbies will act similar to their behaviour as observed in War Thunder. Just with less gravity and drag involved. One thing is certain: while CR might still decide to run for the Bahamas, pubbies will always be pubbies.

Well the Citizen Cards were sent out at least once now. There might have been a second wave (or more) up to this point. There have been used as "access cards" for events (offline naturally). I guess their support might be able to tell you when the next wave will go out. Most physical products (USB sticks, game disks, soundtracks) will only ship once the game is "released" - NEVER.

notaspy posted:You can do that? Yes, you can "melt" anything down and use the "store credit" to rebuy higher tier packages. Until they disallow that, but that will be announced before it happens. They do have a good customer support. So buy the cheapest package and wait for the dogfight module. Keep in mind that ALL package ships will also be available with ingame currency! You don't need to buy any ship for real money. You just need to "buy" into the game. Or pre-pre-pre-order it; and the cheapest package is a fair deal in that regard.

Keep in mind that (so far) playing through Squadron 42 (Singleplayer) will net you some starting money and in addition to that you'll be able to take a loan for your first ship. (This might change over time). This makes ownership of any ship a sweet bonus. It ain't more than that, though depending how good/bad you're at videogames this might make it easier to get a better ship/equipment. Anything beyond the most basic package is just Pay-to-Advance.

Well in MWO the opfor had Alphabetical identifiers (from A to L). Calling targets in mumble with the Nato alphabet was actually helpful, though not a requirement for relaxed play. If a game doesn't have an easy way to assist each other this can be used to designate targets. War Thunder on the other hand has an easy to use radial menu to designate targets/communicate. RSI mentioned that they want to have some Command & Control options for bigger Ships (or as a role for the second person in the Super Hornet). This could be a nice way to "organize/coordinate" fights. Though if you don't want to fly with that hassle that will probably fun too. They did mention in the newest WMH that small groups/solo players will have their own role/niche as will bigger corps. Unless RSI fucks up  .

Well I personally expect them to hit 50M at the end of this year (or earlier) and this game will certainly also sell "regular" copies. IF/WHEN if goes "gold". A price between 40 to 60$ and at least a million copies sold would but additional "gold" income at about 40 to 60m $$$. So their overall budget should cover the cost of 200 employees for some time.

Stuff about the HUD: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/2083500/#Comment_2083500 This section contains threads in which Developers from SC answer all your lovely questions: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/ask-a-developer quote:I think you're underestimating how much information there is to display. E:D's cockpit isn't "realistic", it's drastically simplified so that they can fit it into that tiny space, and even then they didn't - you have more screens you have to look away from the action to use, which is decidedly UNrealistic, as no modern fighter (or any fighter in history I'm aware of) would display information in such a drastically inconvenient way. Remember, my last job was actual future military UI, I'm here because I know how these things work.

Current exmaples of E:D UI - also Multiplayer video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDWnBJYTFgs That is a basic HUD, similar or less than most shooters have. That's not hard to beat in terms of information presented. Neither the CIG Dev nor I said anything about a minimalistic HUD being BAD.

Yeah and the "invite a friend to your hangar thing" is part of the Social Module. I wonder if that will be locally hosted or on a RSI-Server. Considering that you'd be able to eventually enter and lift off with someone else ships (with permission of course), it would make sense to do it on their server. Planetside would simply be an extension of that, just a different map and more people. Apartments will hopefully a crossover of Star Wars Galaxies functionality with Anarchy Onlines system of instanced housing. So you'd be able to rent a room/apartment in a Tower overlooking the landing area. So they'd only need to do one map to service both aspects, at least for starters. And being able to freely place stuff in your personal mancave. It would only be necessary for them to create the empty rooms and leave decoration to the players. Less draining on the art team. They'd just create the assets and CiG would "just" have to develop a soft core toolkit (place and move stuff) for players.

MagicBoots posted:Shamelessly stolen from the War Thunder thread: Both modes are actually viable in the middle game mode in War Thunder (Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles). It's just that mouse aim is a lot easier to use, but the Joystick is better for fine movements (don't confuse it with aiming) and offers more control over the plane. Albeit Joystick user face some risks (stalling) which mouse aimers doesn't have to contend with. Though the advantages of Joystick use come only into play in the upper "skill" range. Playing smart + Teamwork have a greater effect on your win/KD ratio than the control method. Teamwork will probably OP in SC. Install it, if the game comes out.

Also he does have a history of abandoned projects in both the film and video games industry so it is probably prudent to be skeptical about him. My fiancee did actually play the old Wing Commander games and according to her they were subpar compared to the X-Wing/TIE games. So maybe SC might be bad too. Though SWG- Jump to Lightspeed wasn't good either. But at least they managed to have multicrew vessels.
