I encountered a bug where my stored ships do not appear, so I can't sell my T9 to try out the new big ships. On the official forums there are lots of people with this issue. I hope it gets fixed soon!

ManicJason posted:Those Lakon freighters are hilarious. I briefly had a Type-9 before I could afford an Anaconda. That thing started melting itself with alarms blazing for every single jump. If you overshot the station in supercruise, it was almost faster to high wake out and back in than to turn that cow around. I have a lovely-fitted Type-9 and I almost never get the heat alarms and I boost nonstop. Maybe they changed it since you last flew one or you had an extra small power distributor or something.

Adult Sword Owner posted:I know that it's not science and it can be handwaved with "it doesn't follow physics" but usually things don't slow down when going INTO a gravity well It has to do with the drives, which work by compressing space in front and behind your ship. Gravity makes the drive less efficient so you slow down when in gravity wells.

64 bit also locks out macs as a platform, so the small percentage of Mac users who play Elite would be poo poo out of luck if the base game upgraded to 64. And the rest of us on PCs would see virtually no discernable difference.

I need help making a custom key binds. I have an x52 Pro that I've been using for a year, but using it to drive on planets is a real chore. I have an xbox controller I want to use for that purpose, but I have some questions. First of all, is there a button to clear a key bind? Second of all, why can't I set up the xbox controller triggers to be accelerate and reverse? I tried out the xbox binding that's available while on the planet, and it works great! But when I tried to copy that over into my x52 settings, the triggers 'stick' to a speed which is a very annoying way to drive instead of 'letting go' and coasting to a stop. Is this a setting outside of the driving section that I'm not seeing? I love that they put a million settings for you to fiddle with, but man is it a headache.

Pilots federation rules mandate that you shave your head. You gonna sell your spaceship or shave your head? Your choice. If you choose a character with long hair it's a text box and then game over.

So the Data Scanner is just straight up broken for me. I set a key for it, turned on fire to deploy hardpoints (which I hate), have it set for secondary fire in the fire group panel, and try to use it in turret mode. Nothing. Fun.

Ever since Horizons I'll occasionally be playing for an hour or so and the textures will get really really bad. It kind of feels like playing TIE Fighter. I've heard that maybe it's because my graphics card 'only' has 2gb memory and Horizons will use over 4 if you let it. It doesn't happen on planets though, so I'm skeptical. I have an R9 270x and I've been able to play on custom ultra settings previously (actually play ultra on all games including Witcher 3 with hairworks off lol). Anyway, here's a funny picture of what I mean:

RVProfootballer posted:I'm not a space game grognard and only just looked at the Star Citizen thread because I bought Elite and have had fun with it so far... Pretty happy with Elite so far, ha. Calling Elite an alpha or even beta is dumb, when it's clearly a complete but shallow game. No one denies that, I don't think. But I'm going to keep playing it til I get bored, stop playing, and probably try it again sometime down the road if/when more stuff gets added and fleshed out. Also I'm excited for future updates, not upset that they are not out yet.

Shine posted:You basically nailed it. Powerplay would be good if it wasn't such a massive grind requiring excessive commitment to build and maintain rep. It would improve PP immensely if they slashed the requirements by a large percentage and reduced the decay. and they can nerf the paycheck for all I care. Make the bonuses and special items better and remove most of the decay and I'd be happy.
