Renting the mining ship for 7 days costs 865k UEC: That's half the price of outright buying the ship in-game, at 1.6m UEC. Better than spending $140 though

Star Citizen posted:"Time to go spelunking! We have added 15 caves to the game, 5 on each of Hurston, Aberdeen, and Daymar. One of those bodies can be located using a missing person mission (Aberdeen) but we want you to try and find the rest on your own. A big part of assessing caves is assessing how difficult or easy they are to find. Find some caves and explore them thoroughly. Let us know if they are too easy or too hard to find, how difficult you found the traversal paths through the caves (Many involve jumping and climbing) and how valuable resource collection in caves is relative to the time needed to find and explore Okay thread, here's a math problem for you. There are 5 caves per entire loving planet. They are not sign-posted in any way. They are approximately 10 meters wide. Let's assume that the entire server population, like say 1,000 players, was all simultaneously on a single planet searching for caves. Each of them can search an area that is maybe 500 meters wide, at a speed of ~200mph. The planet is roughly the size of the moon. What is the probability that they would find even one? What is the probability that CIG didn't even release this feature?

Sarsapariller posted:Okay thread, here's a math problem for you. The single-minded focus on this "feature," which wouldn't even be worth a mention for any other game featuring caves (roughly all of them), is more suspicious to me than anything else. I think that "caves" and the new "FPS level" are interesting in that they've received heavy focus, are PU specific, and are built into the engine or at least can be quickly extrapolated from bullshit they've already made. I think it's to create the illusion that the PU is "coming along." We know that Chris is only working on, and only cares about, Squadron 42. Citizen-Conned is coming up. My guess is they're going to use the con to go hot and heavy with SQ42 in order to assuage the Calders, and any blowback along the lines of "what about Star Citizen, nobody gives a gently caress about your single-player game you frauds" CIG can say "WHOA, whoa, settle down there, haven't you read about CAVES? Haven't you read about FPS LEVEL? The PU is on 8.4.3.0 now and bigger numbers prove progress, even if the game is regressing!" This will work. In fact, everything works, which makes me wonder why CIG bothers strategizing in the first place.

The scam looks different from each vantage point. For example, this intrepid commando thinks he's helping to "test the game." The passive-aggressive tone, combined with his laid-back attempt to "educate" the less-informed, runs through this post like marbling through a fine steak. Commando, take your time getting that coffee. When you get back, sit down and try to understand that you got conned by a career fraud. It won't be fun to hear, but fun isn't the primary goal right now.

"emergent gameplay" - because there is no other content "unedited footage" - but conveninently started after the half hour or meeting up and travelling "when are they adding parachutes" - well, now you've said it, its on the to-do list, along with everything else "There are doors in the bottom of the vanguard" - NO! DONT USE THE DOORS! Ah, landed and now... and now we have a bog standard FPS arena vs bots... except, these bots look, erm, crap. They barely react. Oh, look, friendly fire is on.... shame. He blames server latency, he didn't mean to shoot his teammate. Back to the ship, because of totally organic and not at all staged attack. Am i being too skeptical? Janky movement ensues. Now flying, fighting back... combat is still turrets in space. Still, its not all bad. I mean, i do like the damage model and erm... well, graphics are ok. I'm sure there are other things to like.

They just need a bit more time to theorycraft. What extras are going to come on a rental ship? Maybe rentals are mega-insured and you get an instant new one when it gets destroyed since the rental companies have a huge stock and don't need to wait for a new one to be manufactured, which is better than LTI and what if you can get a deposit back and

I'm one of those sad saps that backed a concept ship. The RSI Orion. I had the opportunity to go for a refund, and decided not to. Hell, i keep the Orion as my desktop wallpaper to remind me NOT to invest that much money in kickstarter games and the like again. (Ironically, the one time that it convinced me NOT to invest was the BATTLETECH kickstarter. Was going to invest and get a House Steiner flight jacket. Thankfully the game came out and is great). Ok, that aside. So, if we assume for the moment that the PU will eventually become a thing. Early in the game's stretch goals, back when Stretch Goals actually unlocked new ships rather than being driven by new ship sales, each ship when unlocked had a separate stretch goal for being usable in the PU. (Example: Bengal Carrier unlocked at 5.5 mil. Added to PU at 6mil) So, if the PU does eventually become a thing, do we have ANY guarantee that ships we've purchased will actually be usable in it?

skeletors_condom posted:Summary of leaked rental prices: To put this in context for people not playing the game: The average mission earns about 5k right now and takes 15 minutes. It is not possible to compound this with harder missions, or big trade runs, because both of those things are permanently broken. The most I've ever earned in-game is 100k and that was during the brief era when drug running was an option. The money in your account is reset every 3 months. These ships are effectively un-rentable, which is what was expected after the in-game purchase prices became known. Renting a cutlass for 24 hours would require a week of painstaking work in ships that were already substantially better. Renting a 600i is flat-out impossible.
