From Spectrum: There are a multitude of reasons for theaters of war starting with the most relevant to star citizen in its current form, optimizing ground, atmospheric and space combat while further blending them together. The PU in its current state consists of small sections of gameplay loosely linked, with the 890 jump mission covering the most bases. Having a test bed for these types of missions allows for further missions to be developed utilizing more forms of combat. Additionally the Theaters of War game mode would allow the developers to hone in the combat within the PU and more importantly at this point in time, Squadron 42. Currently gunplay feels weak, the weapons don't feel powerful or responsive, the grenade toss feels weak and unsatisfying, moving in general feels cumbersome, regardless of armor type. Atmospheric flight doesn't feel atmospheric and space combat feels like jousting, zipping past each other at high speeds and hitting targets less often. All these mechanics can be polished with an all encompassing game mode solely focused on combat and not diluted with cargo runs and box missions. This is especially important for Squadron 42, which is supposedly reaching beta later this year, where all systems should be complete and just be for testing and resolving issues, not redoing the flight model. ToW is not however solely for testing and optimization purposes, but a fun game mode allowing players to easily join and play more intense and complete scenarios where they don't have to worry about their ship blowing up, or having to spawn 40 million kilometres away, or having to play with only the limited ships they own. These types of situations outlined in the scenarios are not very common and probably will never be very common in star citizen. In the PU they have to be planned, organized and managed, with even the most natural large scale interactions most likely being hit and run, or 1 significantly larger force. People won't play in the same way when they have in game money on the line. Therefore, a major purpose of ToW is to provide easily accessible versions of space battles we've been watching for years, like the battle over coruscant, which can be javelins and swarms of fighters above arccorp, or Hoth, set on microtech with novatanks and arrows. These types of scenarios seamlessly blending ground, air and space combat are perfect for star citizen as you can currently do lots of these types of scenarios in the PU, albeit with significant effort. These large scale scenarios are obviously the goal of ToW, providing fidelity never before seen in a video game. I believe that Sean Tracy is doing a great job, providing gameplay, setting the stage for similar gameplay within the PU and optimizing combat to make it a clean experience that will allow not only Squadron 42 to succeed, which is heavily focused on combat, but the PU as well. I sure know what I dream of when seeing these massive capital ships, expansive planets and detailed locations. Top-rated comment: Waste of resources in my opinion. No disrespect to the devs. I just think that manpower would be better spent on the PU itself.

How did they gently caress up the gunplay in this game so badly? It's a Crytek engine game, it's designed to make shooter games. It takes approximately 100 rounds to kill anyone and the AI is completely brain dead.

So where do we go when a moderator abuses their power? https://imgur.com/a/esrTUwJ My apologies, I hope this is in the right place. I tried looking at the FAQ but saw nothing about this topic. I'd like to start by saying maybe this is an honest mistake but I have a gut feeling it's not. If it is, then my bad. About 3 years ago I was lifetime banned from the forums due to what I still feel was an abuse of power by a moderator. I had been given warnings and I heeded them then I had a small disagreement with someone and bam, lifetime ban. I didn't even use profanity or do anything I felt was overly negative. I have tried making concierge requests to speak to someone but that very senior moderator who banned me took over my concierge even though they weren't initially assigned to me and I find it hard to believe they gave me a fair reconsideration. I was told my ban would continue, so I thanked them for taking the time to reconsider me and went on about my business. Such is life. However now that this moderator has control over my help requests they have started to take their time getting back to me, mark my problems as "awaiting my response" without even responding and seem to go out of their way to ignore me. I barely even make any concierge requests and only ask for help when it's absolutely necessary. Like for example , curently I am not getting any of the UEC I paid for in the PU, so I made a request about it. I spent a lot of money on this game and while I feel my lifetime ban was excessive I delt with it and let it go for 2 years then made that reconsideration request and apologized. I get it, I screwed up and I was banned, that's fine, I can admit I could of been more understanding and less abrasive but I was and still am passionate about the game, even to a fault.. However, I at least feel I should get the concerige service I was assured I would get. I have not been aggressive or rude to anyone in my requests. I just feel there should be someone we can seek help with that is above a moderator, otherwise as we all know, power corrupts. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.  Nice. Admitting there is a problem is the first step. welcome back and lets hope you and them can resolve this peacefully.

 Some top-voted comments from two official threads on Spectrum  Roadmap Roundup - January 31st, 2020  Roadmap have Been removed from Roadmap : - After a review with leadership during planning week Why even bother putting in the column for 4.1 and 4.2? Every 3 months you guys remove most of the stuff from the upcoming patch. Just look at last week. Over 27 entries have been removed from 3.9. Shouldnt with staggered development most of the stuff for 4.0 already be going full steam ahead? If you put 4.1 and 4.2 in we know right before the release of 4.1 you guys will remove most of the stuff from 4.1 roadmap I personally don't want to have the cards for 4.1 and 4.2 anymore. It's only frustration how you handle and communicate the public roadmap. Just CIG why do you guys just keep murdering the roadmap?? WTF more stuff removed, the PU will have like 1 feature a patch at this rate., I think I should just honestly take a break, do not spend any more money in pledges and come back in a year to see how it is a year from now. All the things that i was excited about in 3.9 are nearly gone, only thing left is prison gameplay and that looks like is delayed and may be getting moved to 4.0 as well. They must not like money, people excited about the PU and having fun in the PU=ships sold in the SC that can help development. Completily neglecting the PU is only going to bring revenue down ...I hope they have a lot of money saved up... Same procedure as last week? Same procedure as every week (this year)!Calling All Devs - January 2020 Question Thread (hasn't happened, even that's been delayed  ) What's up with SQ42? Why are so many chapters so far behind on the roadmap? What is the state of Dynamic Economy that we saw with TonyZ is it still on time for 3.9? What are the plans to improve/finish the current flight model, specially for atmospheric flight? Tell us about your plans and current progress toward bringing the hangars on our accounts persistently into the game. What's the current status of the wildlife/animals? Is deeper multicrew gameplay planned, e.g. that a scan officer can scan objects independently regardless of the orientation of the ship, or that the weapons officer on a freelancer MIS /Conni Andromeda can independently target several targets and fight them with missiles? Games like The Witcher or Cyberpunk are showing how important the appearance of sexuality can be for the authenticity of a game world. How “sexy” will the world of Star Citizen and Squadron42 be? Will it be more like Skyrim where sexuality not really happens or will we get a “Witcher in Space” with red-light districts and explicit presentation of sex (or something in between like in Mass Effect)?

Dropping "old favorites" in make it sound like they are tv producers who a struggling to find new content so are throwing in cheap re runs and remakes for filler air time. So many golden moments to rehash they can re do the kck starter as a throw back special!! Kick starter V1 Maybe we can get some real game devs to do a bunch of cameos on the show! Maybe they could do a new version of bug smashers with no code on the screen but play canned laughter everytime something goes wrong. They could call it two and a half alphas. So much scope for cheap ripoffs they might as well embrace what they can do instead of pretending to make games

But they had Space Marine and they had Space Arena. These were both self-contained things that they could have used to perfect both shooting on foot and flying in space. Why do they need a new mode to do what these already did?

They still can't decide on how the flight model should behave and the shooter side is still crap compared with the real FPS shooters out there.

1:100 Anvil Aerospace Arrow Model Kit — JRD+F - Now released!  What the hell is that pricetag?? 110$ for a 1:100 model? Are they out of their minds? 110 pounds.. ouch! I can own a whole bunch of Cutlass Red pixels for that kind of money! Nice model though IKR, if it was assembled and painted maybe. Like the Constellation model that came out a few years ago. That thing was nice, and worth the money.
