Windows Star Citizen

Oh why did I just buy myself a Cutlass and the wife an Avenger? Did find it funny that the Cutlass is a small statue in the hangar, looks ridiculous.

So, my ship list is now: (All LTI)
- Aurora LX
- 315p
- 325a
- 350r
- M50
- Avenger
- Hornet
- Cutlass
- Freelancer
- Constellation

Chomping at the bit for a military spec Hornet, and the Constellation variants. Wondering if there's going to be a CIC model? Would somewhat like a Scythe, but I'll just have to get one in game somehow, as well as a fat-ass capital ship - the Idris is lovely and all, but I want something bigger that can fit all my ships in! (Idris' hangar is a mere two Hornets).

Also willing to buy/gift LTI ships at cost price for those who need them.

 

Cool, thanks Parge - we may do this in near future. Right now to do that I would need to buy a package, even the cheapest one is $30, then pay you $70 for 325A, that's $30 more than a Arbiter package (right now we don't know how much insurance is gonna cost). So I think I would need to wait til game is released and then earn some UEC money enough to buy it from you, so we wouldn't spend real money on it.

Do we know if players transfer will be allowed?
So lifetime insurance comes/transfers with ships, not account asigned?

 

Feel free to message me if you want a LTI package (anyone, that is) too. Happy to purchase and pass over as a gift.

The LTI is applied to the ship, phinix, don't worry.

 

LTI is assigned to the ship/package, which in turn is dictated by the account of the purchaser. Those of us with original/veteran backer status can still buy LTI ships/packages, but nobody else can now. In turn, we can then gift them to anybody else.

Transferring money between players is going to be guaranteed, ditto other items including ships.


EDIT:
Newest hangar patch has improved the fog in the deluxe hangar, no longer looks like a urine cloud!

 

I'm just looking forward to them enabling 2560*1600!

 

Well yes, higher resolutions than 1920x1080 would be nice! Also the dogfighting module, so I can actually fly something.... which reminds me I still need pedals!

 

Adding two lines to StarCitizen\CitizenClient\Data\game.cfg allows you to change the resolution yourself.

r_width = 1920
r_height = 1200

Obviously replace with your required resolution.

 

I may very well take you up on that very kind offer.
Does the LTI raise the real money cost of the ship or is just a perk you have?

 

It's a perk for original backers, that's all. Just part of the usual package. In fact I think the original backer packages cost less than the new ones.

 

Just done some reading and they can suspend Insurance if you're wanted

There are so many intricacies to this game, it's wild.
I was reading about boarding over the weekend. It's insane. Blow their shields, disable them, dock with them, burn open the door/hull. In the meantime, they get to to setup and wait for you. Potentially with miniguns in the cockpit.
Oh, and even if you manage it, you'll need to repair it to fly it away. And if you aint quick about it, someone else can come and board it......

I've been riding the hype wave from my two friends prior to this, but I think I'm fairly well invested now ¬¬

 

You know they've confirmed adding a Planetside module in now. Like, you can actually land on a planet and fight on the planet itself, them seamlessly get in your ship, fly into space and carry on fighting there. Intra-atmosphere transitions included, and also affects the ship on the way in/out.

I mean... can you imagine if something like a Bengal carrier or an Idris corvette gets stuck in the planet's gravity. The impact would be out of this world.

Not to mention the ability to run your own space stations and have boarding actions around/on them too.

 

I've been watching different movies about economy, physics, etc on main page.
Question - is there an ordered list or sth like that so I could watch it all in order like it was published? I don't want to jump from one movie to another, and find out later that I skipped something important. Is there a history list?

 

Just go on the Star Citizen youtube page and go through their by date.

 

i signed up for this because it looked promising, but there seems to be far too much involved for a game that hasn't been released yet.

Am I missing out by not doing stuff at this stage?

 

If you haven't pledged, you might miss out on some stretch goals, yes.

In all fairness, this is Chris Roberts. Wing Commander, Privateer, Freelancer... He knows space games. I fully trust him to deliver what he says he is going to, and judging by the videos and what we can see and actually use, he's doing just that.

This is a pretty good summary of all things SC.

 

^Yeah, All this

As much as I'm looking forward to this game (and dear god am i ever looking forward to this game) I will hold full judgement until the Dogfighting module and the Squadron 42/Persistant Universe betas have been seen.


I didn't even know of the whole controversy regarding Freelancer (was only just getting into PC gaming then, and with no 'net till I move here in '06) not living up to the hype and missing a lot of the features promised, I still love the game... It will forever remain in my top 5 list (Along with MoH:AA, AoE 2, Starcraft Broodwars, Diablo 2).

Chris has had 10+ years to look back on what he wanted for Freelancer, what was possible, what is NOW possible, waht the industry was like then and now, and how much his dream game has evolved with time, effort, and a mass influx of opinions both from users and designers.
This game is already a groundbreaker in regards to the crowdfunding, once it is released it will be another groundbreaker.

My biggest hope is that this will be a massive kick up the arse of other developers / publishers to get their act together and not release the same rehashed ******** year in and year out.

*Rant/Praise over*

 

Wow! Thanks, now I have lots to catch up!
I hope all the stuff I got for sale will go so I could buy an account.

 

I'm liking Elite: Dangerous more. *runs*

 

The fudge you say?
