Will it get medic / engineer / support roles ?
Certainly something we'll want to incorporate eventually, but right now our priority is getting the combat feeling good in a combined arms scenario before moving onto more specialized roles. EDIT: As medical gameplay and other systems come online in future quarters for the PU, we'll be looking closely at how we can incorporate them into Theatres of War.

Sandweed posted:post a 15 minute vid of you having fun instead. sebmojo posted:Please do. Okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zArmlmMeedE I take off from Delamar with a stock Drake Buccaneer, do a CS3 rated bounty hunt, and then fly back and land. The only bug I encountered with this video is that the enemy AI broke at the end and they stopped moving. It can happen sometimes during a fight and it spoils the fun. This problem has existed for quite a while, though, as I remember seeing it back in 3.6.0. It probably existed before that too. I forgot to throw my good components on my Buccaneer this patch so I was constantly dealing with overheating issues. The stock Buccaneer doesn't have adequate coolers to handle its powerful engines. I have fun doing combat missions with the Buccaneer because it is so incredibly nimble that you can maneuver yourself behind the AI and chase them, but I couldn't really do it that much in this video because of the overheating problem. If you overheat and blow your power system you basically die so I had to take it easy. I also don't really do these bounty hunt missions anymore as the pay is worthless. I got 2500 aUEC + a 1500 aUEC bonus for that. By doing an unlawful claimjumper mission I could make 15000 aUEC + ~4000 aUEC in bonuses. My OBS settings were also hosed up so it downscaled the video and added a black bar. I have a 16:10 monitor but Star Citizen's UI craps out at that aspect ratio so I have to play in 16:9 borderless windowed mode. OBS was set to 16:10 so you get a black bar and I didn't want to re-record the whole video just to fix that.

I can't get over the way this frost effect or whatever it's supposed to be makes the character look like they're wearing a hazmat suit to do bukkake cleanup. Who the gently caress thinks that looks good? 20 years ago maybe.

Man that bounty hunting video looks so cool. First it takes like 4 minutes to get to any combat and then you park your space ship and let the AI fly around you while you shoot at them for minutes at a time rotating your ship left and right while some white tect obscures a third of you horizontal space.

So other than the: * AI that broke * Default systems on your ship that aren't set up to work together * Punishment for overheating being instant death * Payout for the mission being worth so little as to discourage you from doing it * Window not rendering correctly at your chosen aspect ratio It worked perfectly, bug free! I mean if you're having fun, by all means you do you, but I would not say this was a bug free performance, just bugs that have grown so routine they've become background noise to you Sarsapariller fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jun 8, 2020 |

sebmojo posted:thanks for posting this, it's good to see what the almost working version is. If you squint you can almost see, were there no bugs, the outline of a solid 6/10 derivative space game, which is just about Roberts's sweet spot. This is assuming he can maintain a team that is better than he is, which is every team. Once they're done stripping the game back down to barebones flight, and open up the game to modders that can fix the visuals, there's very nearly a game here that can proudly take its place right behind Star Raiders for the 2600.

I had a surprisingly bug free (besides the constant jittering and broken NPCs) few hours during free fly week and even then I found it just incredibly boring. The game is designed to waste your time and when I finally got to do something fun (combat) it felt like a boring and confusing slog until the AI ship just decided to explode. There was almost no feedback on how much damage I was doing or if I myself was taking damage it was just a bunch of icons most of which seem to do or display nothing. Luckily the AI is brain dead so even my first time playing SC and fighting it was trivially easy to win. I quit pretty soon after because I just had no desire to see what else Star Citizen had to offer, the very basic loops it has are a complete bore.

Sarsapariller posted:* Default systems on your ship that aren't set up to work together Yeah. It is all very, very weird. The Drake Buccaneer is like the only ship in the game that doesn't come with stock components good enough to fly without running into problems. It's probably because CIG made it as a big "gently caress you" to all the Cutlass Black owners who were complaining about how much of a trash ship it was which didn't conform to its advertised role at all. People gave Ben a lot of poo poo over the Cutlass to the point where CIG created the Buccaneer and let people CCU to it for free. Kinda funny how it is the one ship in the game with inadequate components. Oh, and it has massive shield holes in the front and has one of the lowest hull HPs in the game. Sarsapariller posted:* Punishment for overheating being instant death You don't die, but if you overheat your power generator it shuts down and you lose all power, which means you stop moving and your shields disappear. In the middle of a fight this usually means the AI will promptly blow you up. I've complained about it before as it is way too punishing. You shouldn't be allowed to overheat your power generator. Sarsapariller posted:* Window not rendering correctly at your chosen aspect ratio Well, I mean, it renders correctly, but it suffers from the problem that many games nowadays suffer from: UI gets cut off the screen. Many game devs end up designing for 16:9 and wider and don't think about how their UIs should scale for more square-ish aspect ratios. For a couple weeks after Last Oasis launched I couldn't even use the trade stations because of 16:10 UI issues. Sarsapariller posted:I mean if you're having fun, by all means you do you, but I would not say this was a bug free performance, just bugs that have grown so routine they've become background noise to you It's rarely a bug-free performance. I was originally asked to give a trip report and I said it wouldn't be that interesting because by now I know how to avoid most debilitating issues that new players run into. It would just be a trip report about spawning in, doing some missions, and ending my session making money. Maybe upgrading a ship with my earnings. I'm not saying that the bugs don't exist, nor am I excusing CIG for them. I've been very vocal about CIG needing to focus less on features and more on squashing bugs.

If spending 4 minutes to get into combat is so off-putting for you, I would suggest not playing any games in the space genre. Even games with good reputations like Elite Dangerous have downtime where you have to browse missions boards, accept a mission, and then travel to the location. I also did not park my space ship. I was flying around a lot, boosting and turning and stopping. The Buccaneer is a glass cannon and I would have exploded very quickly if I wasn't avoiding shots. Plus it has shield holes which make it even more of a death trap.

Slow to a crawl and then do an long and awkward circle with your enemy as it blindly fires away from you; thrilling combat, 10/10, give Chris another 100 million! I mean if you think that Star Citizen is good, go for it man, buy an Idris or two. I’m not here to convince any of its supporters to forsake it, but conversely it’s wayyy too late in the day to try to convince anyone here to change their minds. I’ve played the game, I’ve experienced it’s combat, and it’s total poo poo. I mean I think Elite’s combat is boring, but it’s light years beyond this. Go play any modern space sim and you’ll have a much better combat experience and it won’t be buried within a broken pre-alpha in development hell.

Nalin posted:Okay. Thank you for posting. I have several questions: Bucanner is generally one of the better ship for PvE bouty hunting? Mission on youtube frankly looked long and quite boring. And 2500UEC looks like nothing. How many such mission you have to take to upgrade to next better ship? Components upgrades to ships have insane prices in UAC? And if I have only starter aurora, it is realistic to buy avenger/bucanner doing only missions/trading? Otherwise I agree with other posters it can be 6/10 if they focus on space part, and iron out bugs, fix awfull map etc..

How much does the Buccaneer cost? Because I can understand you having a bad time taking an unupgraded Sidewinder out hunting, but not having something costing a lot being unusable out the box for a basic mission.

I think the trash fire that SC has become isn't due to the parts where things work. They're the things that CR micromanaged to the point of smeg. Stripping out all the FPS portions, the entire PU, and leaving the Hangar module alone with maybe a simple social hub. Then expanding on Arena Commander and making that a dynamic mission generator with varying maps and scenarios would make Star Citizen an extremely playable experience.

And the best part is that Chris just keeps repeating, over and over, 'fidelity' or 'realism' but when the rubber hits the road, his "game" is the least fidelitious, least realistic game it can possibly be, and it feel absolutely terrible. Even an unrealistic game can be OK if it feels real or moves in an intuitive way, and of course SC does not. It truly is the absolute worst.
