Personally I don't think having a throttle for the left had is all that important, or even preferable. You won't need to make fine adjustments to throttle much like you do with a flight sim. Instead it will be mostly 0% straight to 100% and back again, and you can do that with the W and S keys.

Having a keyboard for the left hand is also useful for the larger number of key needed, and that list is only going to get bigger.

When dogfighting a throttle may not be necessary, but it's drat near impossible to dock or scoop cargo in Elite: Dangerous without making those fine adjustments. I believe Chris stated that docking will be done manually.

has there been any more information released about how long it will take to get your ship back after it gets blown up? i remember the devs saying that it depends on a few factors such as the number of ships the economy can supply.

this spawned a lot of threads on the rsi forums taking this to mean an aurora should come back instantly while a hornet should take a few hours. that would be bullshit though, nobody wants to sit out for a few hours after dying.

played a few rounds of multiplayer and there was lots of ramming. if you don't kill each other in the initial joust both players tend to whip around and smash into each other. really digging the fast time to kill and acceleration though.

netcode seems fine even with all the destructive bits flying everywhere. just need some more gametypes now to keep things interesting.

There's a bug where kills don't get attributed. Was playing 1v1 late last night after a bunch of people quit the server (or more likely crashed) and we both ended up going 3-10. Maybe when a ship disintegrates from too much damage you don't get credit for the kill.

Thanks but this actually makes my x52 pro even worse - something I didn't think possible. So the game is unplayable either with mouse/kb or my joystick, perhaps I'll have better luck with my haptic cockring and headmounted keyboard tapper

I had been playing the previous AC release with a 360 controller. When 0.9 released I tried m+kb and found the default controls to be very good. Got to wave 14 on my first try, despite not playing for months

I find performance to be as good as can be expected for being in alpha. My computer hiccups right as the vanduul waves warp in or if there are 6 guys on screen really close to me with tons of explosions and lasers going on.

By the time the PU launches, a 980/390x will probably be considered mid range

Injuries

quote:

Absolutely, your limb damage will have severe impacts on how the mechanics work - and it is limb specific too, not just an overall of 'oh youre kind of hurt'. For example, if your left arm is hurt but you throw grenades with your right, your right throw won't really be impacted.

it is planned for players to choose their dominant hand it will have a direct impact resulting from limb damage.

It's a mixture of all 3, your limbs all equal a total health but those limb states will have an impact on how quickly your overall health dwindles and bleeding out is a state that can happen if any limb is 'ruined', which can make you die rather quickly.

I dont know about limb severing as that enters gore territory but your limbs will certainly be 'ruined' and therefore useless and need to be replaced with a fake limb.

There certainly will be some gains to having a cybernetic limb for certain elements. This puts you at risk in other areas too, especially from EMP type damage or radiation/laser weaponry.

I still don't really get the perma-death thing. Who gives a poo poo about your character model, and couldn't you just transfer your gear to the next in line to die, AND customize his appearance ~~with only high heels available as footwear~~ to pretty much match the one who died? Yeah there are Mary Sues all over, but it seems like an empty threat, I dunno.

They did say hired NPC crewmen will gain EXP, so it's good to protect them, but I don't see the draw for player characters. What am I missing?

you can only get back your base ship hull, all the upgrades are lost which is pretty significant. upgrades can also be insured, but it will probably get expensive if you die a lot

Do you even bother to try to find information before you go into a frothing rage and accuse someone of lying? If you're not going to bother trying to keep up with information, why get so hostile at those that do?

New Corvette? Cool. Hope its military oriented, there is a big corvette-sized gap between the Retaliator and the Idris.

I am feeling really good about my Core i5 2500k/8 gigs (yes, I know it needs more) / 750ti.
It's still pretty functional for a 2011 PC. Going to be replacing it come tax time.

I'm thinking i5-4690K / 16 gigs / GTX 980. Any opinions?

CPU wise that is hardly an upgrade. the only reason to upgrade the CPU would be to get some new chipset features from a newer mobo and there aren't that many jumping from z68 -> z97

get the 980, OC that 2500k and wait for skylake

wow, elite certainly has many issues but it's nowhere close to being a bad game. 90% of the criticism seems to be coming from people who haven't even played it but feel the need to parrot whatever problems they've read about.

also the "there's nothing to do" line coming from people who have already managed to play for hundreds of hours is pretty drat funny

PvP is a blast and the outrage it causes is well worth the $50

Ok most of the article is ok, but the start is really bad, so that's why I stopped reading the first time. The title is also really dumb.

I got down to about :

The only thing Watch Doge was a top tier game in were the pre-rendered videos at E3 and hype surrounding it before release, and the actual game was rather shallow, buggy, and ran like absolute poo poo on ~epic gaming rigs~, despite being in development for 5 bloody years? If that defines top tier, I guess SC really is top tier

watch dogs wasn't that bad. maybe i liked it because i hadn't played an assassin's creed game since the first one.

the gunplay felt good, better than gta iv even. the cars and car handling were poo poo though. the multiplayer was novel and fun. it looked pretty good, though not as good as e3 videos. but most games don't look as good as bullshots so it's strange to single out watch_dogs.

This is just a pet peeve of mine but I'm pretty sure Chris didn't want to create a game. His dream and mine is so much larger, yet I start up Star Citizen and what do I get - "Loading Game". I really believe that this simple message as and introduction to what lies ahead should be changed to something more worthy of Star Citizen. I would suggest something along the lines of "Expanding Verse". Chime in, what do other citizens think? Yes? No?

Did you ever play with the ARMA goons, back when people still used that "ACE" mod or whatever it was, the one that made ARMA even MORE brutally realistic? Holy hell. That one actually made you equip earplugs, or you would go deaf without them.

It's always been a niche title, and it always will be, because the people who want the kind of hard-core realism that it specializes in are a small, niche audience. Survival horror, by comparison, has a much wider audience which is why you see things like DayZ gaining such a huge playerbase compared to the core game it's modified from.

Except more people play Arma 3 than H1Z1 and DayZ combined
