I don't know how Starenginetm will cope with a Caterpillar loaded up with three Dragonflies. A person glitching through a ship is bad enough, but a Dragonfly bouncing around and glitching through the hull is a whole different beast. How many years will it take to fix the Caterpillar's penchant to spontaneously explode with a Dragonfly in the hull? I wouldn't be surprised if the Dragonfly is treated like static cargo while loaded on the ship. You use the control panel on the catwalk to load/unload Dragonflies. You park one next to the Caterpillar, press <<use>> on the panel, it warps inside the hull, and becomes non-interactable. And visa-versa for unloading it. Having to fly and park one inside the hull seems like it will end in disaster 99% of the time due to the superfluous fidelity of the Starenginetm. Also, if the Caterpillar holds fifteen Dragonflies, why do they only sell single and double packs? Is this a hotdog/bun situation where you need to buy two Caterpillars and fifteen Dragonfly twin-packs in order to have enough Dragonfly for your Caterpillar? CIG is probably the only developer in the industry trying to solve these 'complex' problems. It might set back the game release by 3 years, but goddamn if they don't discover a convoluted method to solve what would otherwise be a trivial problem.

Well then, I can't wait for the people who proudly proclaim that they have a Caterpillar loaded up with 15 Dragonflies.

AP posted:So apparently in this sale the Caterpillar with LTI will be sold again, first time since November 2013. Another LTI promise broken. If I understood the rational for it CIG says that the 2 DF + C pack would have a mix of standard insurance and LTI, but their "system" can not handle that. So they give LTI for every unit in the pack. So generous, thanks CIG. LMAO. So far it seems to be working, LTI is what really sells... They are going to have to make it really matter in the game, or be perceived as such, for it to continue selling. MedicineHut fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jun 18, 2016 |

All ships that are purchased through the store will have LTI by launch. If they don't then the first month when insurance runs out on non-LTI ships, customer service will have a nightmare on its hands. It also makes sense to have LTI on your starter ship, otherwise you'd end up in a situation where you might not have a ship nor the money to buy a new one. It will probably make more whales happy than mad, but maybe they should hold off on the announcement until close to release so they can milk the maximum amount of money off them.

Most shitizens have already been conditioned and hardened to accept that. This has been a running campaign in the SC reddit and official forums for some time now, by most white knights.

AP posted:It seems like you can upgrade the LTI jetbike immediately to any other ship currently on sale. Used to be they'd say wait till it's flyable. So basically LTI is back on sale for pretty much everything + caterpillar, the scythe, javelin, 890 jump, idris etc excluded, the other "semi limited" stuff like the other vanduul they'll make upgrades available next time they sell them. Indeed. LTI for all at affordable prices. Meanwhile over at the international community... Random Cultist posted:Starfarers, Reliant, Caterpillar, Dragonfly, Packs, CCUs, ... It is just unbelievable how the word "opportunity" is thrown around on these sales. And also mindnumbing how oblivious some cultist are to the risks of this project. Kuddos to Ben and Co. for pulling the best sale of the year so far. Good hunting guys.

I've already seen Citizens telling each other that Sq42 hasn't been promised for release in 2016 at all. Like, the year in the trailers? Just means the trailer was made in (or meant to be watched in) 2016. The date in interviews? Misunderstandings. CIG will proudly announce Sq42 will release in 2017 and Citizens will cheer

But but but there's no limits to what SC can do (except limits that mean they need more money I guess) e: "They could have hacked together some frankencode for it, but didn't really want to, which is generally smart" That doesn't sound like cig at all Maw fucked around with this message at 11:08 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Goons got that change made, previously they used to delete stuff then ban people. So nobody knew what for and the mods didn't like some people (goons). I love that the concern forum where they hide things they don't want people to see, https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/concern , has a sticky from someone who hasn't worked there in absolute ages. Just so it's reinforced how little attention they intend to pay to you if you post there. quote:Ben explained it yesterday. They wanted to do a pack that had the Caterpillar and two Dragonflies. The way the Turbulent stuff works is that either the whole package has LTI or none of it has. They could have hacked together some frankencode for it, but didn't really want to, which is generally smart. The whole thing is a carefully crafted tax for being stupid at this point.

Toast does have a point. If you want a hack look no further than Tolstoy, he had the whole history of the Napoleonic invasion to draw from and look how long it took him to write War and Peace even without any backers demanding he adds extra chapters.

SHIP SPAWNED WITHIN ANOTHER SHIP 1 I had just died after crashing my Avenger into Security Port Koreah. 2 I went to the ship panel in Port Olisar and spawned another Avenger. 3 When I went to the pad to get in, (sorry I cant remember which pad number), there was a F7C Hornet on the pad. 4 I entered the Hornet and noticed my Avenger hud was showing within the Hornet. As you can see in the images, I was not centered correctly and things looked a bit off. I was able to fly and travel around and even shoot. The only problem started when I landed at Security Port Koreah and the 2 ships seperated. ACTUAL RESULT I had the visual of being in a Hornet but with the hud and weapons of a Avenger. EXPECTED RESULT I expected to see my Avenger on the spawn pad not a Hornet.
