My framerate's also dropped semi-randomly, when doing missions I've done before. And my computer's crashed once, so it might just be a problem no matter where you go.

My beams disappear in cce now. Switched over to the dx9ex driver to be safe. Also earthquake just hit my province. If I die, just remember that Dukat was right.

The issue is apaprently due to some changes in the effects code that went in with this season. Most people only notice it with Undine because everywhere you fight Undine involves a metric shitload of particle effects.

http://imgur.com/a/x7ryi Here's a round 2 gallery of getting outside of ESD and exploring it. Unfortunately pubbies have also figured out how to get into the shuttlebay and so on, meaning we won't get as many comedy tells about denalt hax. Edit: adding another 2 tiny galleries for the interested. http://imgur.com/a/ZOrSI http://imgur.com/a/gmPIP In case pubs ruin this and Cryptic for once fixes something due to the frequency of people doing it, you can see the hidden ballship and Steamrunner in the back. The second gallery we tried dropping onto the Vesta, which sadly like the Nova there is not a solid model so you simply drop through it.

Check out the mini-map in the screenshot. That's how far the map geometry goes outside of the ESD interior. Also found out that the starships floating in the core dock area are all fakes (no solid geometry). Managed to get above one, leaped for a warp nacelle and well... Good thing I had an environmental suit on .

Going to pitch in my own new ESD exploration pics: http://imgur.com/a/PWQXv Me and Goat Pillager were trying to make a nice looking post card kind of shot from the shuttlebay area, here are some of my abortive attempts: http://imgur.com/NcEmkn6 http://imgur.com/NjDREED http://imgur.com/duOk0IJ So far it seems the pubbies have worked out how to get into the shuttlebay but no further than that, we've pushed further than that and now I'm kind of interested to see where we can apply what we've learned. Neither of us are any good at captioning poo poo however so this is the final product: And here's the original in case someone would care to make a better effort. http://imgur.com/a/elK1K CheeseThief fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Apr 24, 2014 |

Archonex posted:Edit: I also appear to have a large number of items in my inventory that are in stacks, have no icon, no description, and cannot be discarded, taking up slots. Which means a chunk of inventory space is being locked off by this bug. The gently caress did they do during this patch? Did you ever install that old UI mod that changed the icons for Data Samples to something more easily distinguishable? Its old, but if you had I wouldn't doubt it would result in this sort of bug, what with all the changes that have been made.

Provided you have the lockbox trait that gives mines +100% seek radius, they're quite good now.

It's a fresh install to boot so that couldn't be the cause. Between it, the texture bugs on the ground, and the random slowdown i'm getting fighting some Undine, it's really starting to make me grind my teeth though.

So Sensor Analysis now puts giant circles around your target so you can spot them easier in a crowd. However that was obviously too subtle, so there's also a giant arrow above your ship pointing at them as well.

Regrettable posted:There are some bots but that's all I know of. Is SweetFX an ENB? Not quite as involved and deep into the engine as ENB; it works as a post-processor after a game has rendered, doing fullscreen operations like colour curve adjustments, vignetting, antialiasing or other filters, including some alright HDR fakery. It's similar in concept but more generic in implementation.

Functional stuff breaks whenever they update the UI, so they're largely broken and forgotten. Cosmetic stuff that has been made has largely been adopted by Cryptic over time (color coded power bar icons, optional UI colors, etc) so that's mostly abandoned now too. You could always go find out what Skybuck's peddling nowadays.... if you've got the Bitcoins to pay for it!

A couple questions - I got promoted to Centurion which came with a free ship, and I assume I'll get/buy more later. Will I ever need my old ships or can I chuck them once I start running out of space? Once you're at the top tier is there any reason to fly the lower tier ships? Should I put points in bridge officers at this point? It seems that the points are not refundable and I guess you lose it all when you replace a dude with a better dude.

Regrettable posted:I use basically this but I take the points from threat control & put them in weapon performance. I must be a pretty cool dude cause I didn't even know it was a preferred layout & did it without a guide. Mine is pretty close to this in that I avoided any skill that 'enhanced abilities in sector space' or that involved batteries. People use batteries? I don't think I've ever done that. Has anyone else done the Peanut Labs surveys to earn Zen? It seems like a pretty shithouse way to get it, but if you're on a budget and have an excess of time and don't mind answering the same questions a billion times it's not bad I guess. If anyone else has any better suggestions I'd be willing to hear them!

Also another good question would be what's the best (least effort) to farm EC? I'm doing Qwark the Farmer in the foundry but it runs out of loot halfway through the mission.

Melchior posted:Also another good question would be what's the best (least effort) to farm EC? I'm doing Qwark the Farmer in the foundry but it runs out of loot halfway through the mission. There's a daily cap on how much loot you can get from foundry missions. I can't remember which one I used to use, but if you start running out of loot then it's time to switch to another character or be done for the day.

Solo-queueing Starbase 24 is an option for Feds who hit the loot cap.

Go run the Undine space battlezone. You can get a ridiculous amount of loot in a short time while building up undine marks. That's assuming you have reached 50 already.
