Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

[Sabrewings]

I'm guessing the repair bots at the first CryAstro landing pad you landed on were on break?

I don't think those pads will work for Connies or Talis. Too small. I had never used the landing targeting and auto land before so it was all new to me and you were watching as I was figuring it out. The way the auto land wouldn't set it down once in position was a clue, but I figured I would get out an walk around anyway. Once they came out at the larger pad I figured that had to be what it was.

Or, a break. That works too. Silly robot unions...

I'm sure you're right....but I found that funny. Repair bots on break!

Thanks for posting that video. I enjoyed it. You fly that Connie very well. I liked how you effortlessly pulled up next to the comm array entrance and stop her on a dime.

I tried to play in 2.0 Universe tonight, but I kept getting the dreaded FPS drop bug (which is weird....I've never gotten it before).

Server said Rivet was in there - I crashed before I could find you (a guy got stuck in my engine and everything started shaking terribly).

So I messed around with a Hornet and put the big Vanguard gatling on the top. It's functional (not animated yet) but it has the same instant overhead problem that the Mantis does.

Nice! Glad to see 2.0 working for more and more people.
I also got a chance to play around tonight. I got to mess around for about an hour and for the most part it went smooth. I did have to turn the graphics setting to low though but my system is um...older. haha

I got to test out my 325A a little more and for the first time I took the little Aurora out for a test spin. I was really surprised by it. It managed to hold its own in a small skirmish and it seemed a little less buggy than my 325A.

I crash any time I press X, and the ship summon screens don't work for me. Amazing to walk around Port Ollistar though, it looks incredible.. I'm managing a solid 45fps on very high 1080p, and though I haven't been in a ship yet I think I've getting better fps than 1.3. I'm thinking of trying for 1440p with DSR.

Also, how do you disable motion blur? It makes me sick.

Been meaning to jump in on this.

I think I'm going to treat myself to an early Xmas present and get the Aurora LN package.


Anyone want me to use their referral code? offer expired

You can use mine: STAR-KP3S-XZ4M

Thanks if you do.

Server said Rivet was in there - I crashed before I could find you (a guy got stuck in my engine and everything started shaking terribly).

Yeah, I gave it another go. Got right into Port Olisar. It ran very smooth. Walked around with only the occasional FPS drop. Called up my Titan, got onboard no problem (they appear to have fixed the Avenger ramp bug). QD'd over to Karesh. A smoking Connie was there as well as another ship. I landed and then....as soon as I crtrl f to exit.....crash to desktop.

It was fun and encouraging. But strange in that I encountered very few issues (only a few FPS drops in Olisar, no freezes) but crashed to desktop just trying to exit my ship.

After that, I tried to play through the tutorial. I freeze for like 10 seconds every 10 seconds! But the audio keeps playing. It sounds amazing.....I think they've added a bunch of enhancements to the tutorial because the sounds were noticeably better/different. So if you haven't bothered with the tutorial lately....you should give it a go (assuming you don't have the freeze issues I encountered).

They're making progress for sure.

I think I'll try some of the config file tweaks to see if they help (I keep reading that turning v-sync on is a big help).

I pretty much always go by Jaepheth. It's been a pretty unique handle wherever I go.

I just watched a bit of this week's 10 for the Chairman....didn't realize they're planning on patching to 2.1 before the end of the year.

Things are really starting to move.

Looks like there are going to be quite a few enhancements to the FPS and EVA mechanics in 2.1.

I was kind of hoping for a flyable Freelancer, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait.

Thanks! It's my favorite ship to fly right now. Feels weighty in flight except for landing maneuvers. Once they nerf thrusters in precision mode a little more I think it'll be fine.

2.1 coming so soon is pretty exciting. It was quite funny in the last RtV when Chris said that and everyone's faces were like "Oh, shit..." or "Chris, what did we say about dates?"

I heard 2.1 will have Merlin docking mechanics. I can only hope.

That would be awesome! It would be a big help for Connie's under attack as well.

Hopefully they will also do some balancing on the Connie and Retaliator soon. I had both attack me last night at Kareah in my Avenger, and I was able to take them both out. I think the shields need some work there, and the turrets need a LOT of work (I was never hit once by the Tali gunners...they were shooting all over the place trying to hit me).


I also love flying the Connie. It's actually a bit more maneuverable and faster than I thought it would be. Those big nacelle guns pack a serious wallop, but keeping them on a small quick target is not an easy task.

Having someone onboard to jump in the Merlin and do some harassing would be a big help.


I think an interesting part of the PU so far is the player dynamic. You never know if someone is going to be hostile or not. I personally haven't initiated an attack on any other player ships - I usually wait for them to make the first move (I'm a peaceful explorer at heart). But you always have to be wary of all the ships around you and try to determine their intentions. It makes for some tense, exciting gameplay IMO.

I was flying a Hornet some last night and another Hornet QD'd nearly at the same time I did to CryAstro. We pretty much faced each other and strafed over to the pads most of the way - - I think we were both just wondering the same thing and waiting for the other to make a move.

Sometimes people act peaceful to get into an advantage. I had a Connie behind me while maneuvering to a landing pad, and suddenly I had about a dozen missiles locked on me while dropping my landing gear. I was screwed because I didn't realize IFCS had automatically kicked me into precision mode (I absolutely hate that), so I ended up splattered all over CryAstro. lol

^^^thanks Worthington... You've got people skills

 

[Worthington]

haha I see what you did there.

I still haven't had time to download the PTU and won't for another week. I heard that the Retaliator was kinda weak and disappointing from some people... is this true? That's my premier ship and it would make me sad face

Forgot to ask, I used your referral code when I joined during the anniversary sale. Did you get the 5,000 credits?

(Sorry if not in the spirit, but I was somewhat lazy and in the middle of getting the account setup and yours was the first I found in the thread)

Are you Star Citizen Wide9?

If yes, you should have received 5,000 UEC for using my referral code.

I received a Badger repeater gun for your referral.

If Wide9 is you....thanks for using my code!

The PTU is closed. We're now live with SC Alpha 2.0.

I haven't read anything disparaging regarding the Retaliator. But remember, this is still alpha code with lots of bugs and unfinished business.....

Yeah I wouldnt expect any current balancing to be the same when we launch, so dont be discouraged by subpar performance on your favourite ship. It's pointless to even think about that when we are still months and months and months out from a "real" release.

They keep messing around with the ships, don't stress you can always trade it in for something else. Other than looking cool my Cutlass seems pretty useless right now but if it sucks I'll trade for a different ship when its closer to release.
