I think you're underestimating the power of the brown force, my young padawan. That pic was taken from the TCAP thread in the brown sea, which was actually a screenshot from the WMH

Having had some time to play Arena Commander, I kind of wonder the point of Star Citizen is. They've sacrificed too much of the "realistic sim" stuff to satisfy people looking for that sort of thing, but at the same time the game is so jam-packed with managing bullshit minutia while you're trying to shoot people that is doesn't look like the gameplay is going to be that fun. The black out system seems pointless as well, you can still see the targeting circles in the hud clearly so all it really accomplishes is keeping you from seeing the nice graphics of the enemies exploding while you're doing reckless g-force maneuvers.

Actually the g forces seem to be a deliberate thing to stop endless turn fighting. It would in theory make you carefully chose what you want to do or gently caress yourself. It should add an extra layer of complexity so that there is a mitigating factor to very maneuverable ships that usually rule these games. Or they will gently caress it up and they won't who knows.

If I wasn't already backing The Hull Truth, I'd pitch in on that. But given the choice, I'll happily keep paying for the "summarizes all Star Citizen news this week while skipping the bullshit" show, and The Hull Truth has been doing a loving amazing job of it so far.

Got a chance to play this at Dreamhack, and quite a few things became clear to me: I absolutely need a graphics card upgrade because this looks awesome. I also need to fly with a mouse and keyboard because I loving suck at using joysticks, apparently. And after hearing the amount of money put into the setup they had at DH, I'm fairly sure buying virtual ships might not be the most expensive thing backers of the game can do, after all.

A lot of the HUD can be minimized and trimmed. There's a lot stupid crap on there that doesn't need to be there. In addition to this, the Bitching Betty does a pretty good job to ensure that you are eyeballing the actual important thing: the target. But above the suggestion of minimization - the control schemes have to be tested further, and made tighter for a variety of control surfaces. Right now, flying on a mouse and keyboard is like trying to steer a space barn through corn syrup. I'm interested to see how CIG weighs the differing viewpoints of people using different peripherals, and whether they are used to a more arcade style of space combat.

The hornet and 300i control pretty well with a joystick, feels much better than just mouse & keyboard. I guess what I'm saying is that the joystick deprived and aurora owners can get hosed.

I've been using a joystick and find it pretty viable. Frankly I wouldn't trust the feel of any of the ships at the moment because everything is almost certainly going to change. Also if you didn't watch him at E3 last week he was interviewed by GameSpot and says that AC was released "prematurely" because people were impatient. Gee, I wonder why anyone would feel that way.

JayJay posted:I have been stupidly thinking about Yes, all the other backer stuff is still there. In fact, the image in the hangar still shows the same ship it was originally, but with an "upgrades" button to show what it's changed to. I did an Aurora LN LTI up to a 300i chassis upgrade, then to a 325a to make a trade with someone who was after one. All of that applied under the upgrades, and when you expand the details section, it shows the new ship. For what it's worth, this is all also tradeable and does correctly show up in the hangar.

All of this stuff is so far out time-wise from being something CIG has to worry about that anything they have said no the subject is completely meaningless. Once they have to deal with it (~1-2 years out) they will set something in place that has implications for people who are going to play the game.

46.5 million. A space truck with a missile launcher raised another 2.5 million. Maybe it was E3 too? Whenever I see these numbers, I just think of starving children or at least all the other thousands of indie games out there that could have been funded instead and I become a little melancholy about it.

It is crazy. I went from being very  until the mid 20's. Then it started to be rather  at the rate it was progressing. Now its just  Why are people still throwing millions of dollars at this. The citizen count isn't jumping that much, so its a lot of current backers buying even more imaginary pixels. I mean drat, I want this to be amazing but holy poo poo. There needs to be a point where people just stop throwing mountains of cash at this until it gets a lot farther along the dev track. Once we get PU beta out or something, then at least I could see more people signing up.E; I like how they're replacing TNGS with an "Inside CIG" show, with the caveat that it will only air, "When Available." At least I know I'm not the only one who isn't expecting to see this but like once a month, if we ever get past episode two. Just look how the "daily bug report" thing lasted leading up to DFM? Two days, skipped a day, then never came back for the 2 days leading up to its release. Hobold fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Jun 16, 2014 |

But there are people who actually have a problem and are giving way beyond the threshold of 'I want this video game to be a thing,' and it is sort of sad.

Chris(t) just spent the first half of the 10ftC today, with a really overly verbose way of saying, "The flight model is 100% physically accurately simulated that is why it feels strange to people. Its not fudged at all." Any changes made to the system in terms of how ships control now is by adjusting the IFCS system, not changing the calculations behind it. This should stir up tons of angst in the brown sea, and hell likely here as well.  E; A couple of 'modes' for the joystick/hotas setups that have not been implemented yet, are going to get added 'soon', to bring them up a bit more balance wise against kb/m. Also mentioned that custom keybinds are 2-3 weeks out at this point. Thats gonna piss some people off I know. Hobold fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jun 17, 2014 |

I don't have a problem with their physics system and only with how the IFCS fucks it all up to lesser (300i works almost flawlessly) or greater (Aurora what the gently caress) degree. Unfortunately it seems they use "we'll tweak the IFCS" as a way of saying "we'll do something later maybe eventually". Tweaking the IFCS is simply another thing they push until eternity because they can use "the underlying physics system is fine" as a dodge.

Yeah seems that way to me as well. He spent a long time talking about the over steer effect that everyone complains about being realistic part of how the flight system works, and people are just going to have to get used to it really. I can see where he comes from, but at the same time, most people won't just accept that, they want Wing Commander, not realism. E; Another big website upgrade coming towards the end of this month, first part of next. Some sort of 3d overhaul for the store and some other things, as well as laying the ground work for the Galactipedia. E; This 3d upgrade is sounding like a web based asset viewer for ships, ect.
