[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48923361]i really hope this isn't just a message that pops up saying "no, you can't shoot here! weapons disabled!!!!!"

i want to be able to say fuck it and attack people anyway even if it means i'll get ganked by a billion ships[/QUOTE]

Maybe there are police flying about, or automated turrets. One can hope it's not a forced passive mode.

Won't stop the Immovable Object from ramming them to oblivion. I hope...

Unfortunately, unless it's a forced passive mode, it'll never truly stay passive.

That's a good thing. To me at least.

[dai]

if somebody wants to ready their weapons and have automated defenses and aggressive security NPCs dig into their ship in the PU, by all means go for it

[Apocalypsewaffle]

I feel like miscalculated jumps are gonna be a bigger issue. You can only refuel at the base from what it seems, so getting stuck in the black might very well happen.

A lot.

I expected 2.0 to be released after Star Marine, but the latest dev update suggests like it'll be the other way around, with 2.0 first and then SM later. Wasn't Star Marine nearly done?

this is the kind of emergent gameplay shit sc needs[/QUOTE]

I just hope it doesn't equal Elite Dangerous where it's no supercruise fuel = you're fucked

[elix]

Well, we'll have fuel scoops, but it'll be kind of painful and slow, I imagine.

We could be fuel rats with a [del]stolen[/del]repurposed Starfarer, and if people don't pay we just leave them and relay the coordinates to known PVPers we secretly are friends with.

During CitizenCon, CR explained on stage that, rather than concentrate on just finishing Star Marine, the standalone fps [I]game mode[/I], they're concentrating on pushing the baby PU first, and that means needing all the fps stuff [I]except[/I] the stuff specifically related to Star Marine (scoreboards, points counters on the HUD) and merging it into the blended PU experience.

Star Marine, as well as AC2.0, are still slated for release. They're just separate from the baby PU/Alpha 2.0 because they're separate internal gamemodes. I think CIG realized they have a shot to try and deliver on their "PU alpha by end of 2015" promise, and that's a much bigger deal than releasing Star Marine's two maps ten months later than promised.

Backers are probably going to appreciate multicrew more in the baby PU map than an Arena Commander 2.0 lobby screen, if given the option. Multicrew AC is important, as well, but with the renewed focus on criticizing CIG for every tiny little thing because Shithead's on the warpath, they need to get the baby PU out and show that SC's tech design is not only not vapourware but like 75% ready.

[Cygnus]

I can only assume that refuelling in space (i.e with a Starfarer) will be done via the docking ports, which makes complete sense as a multipurpose connection that can transfer power/fuel/life forms etc but god damn imagine if we had to use traditional fuelling booms.

[editline]17th October 2015[/editline]

Although didnt early Starfarer concept art show two booms at the rear?

This... doesn't work for the Super Hornet.

[elix]

Ctrl+F in single-seater ships is bugged right now. Local physics grid bugs are fun. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the hotfix patches to the PTU removed the functionality until they can unfuck everything wrong with it.

Interesting. Smart DID issue a DMCA takedown on that video. Does he have legal grounds? If not, you can complain to Google. Oh, and tell SuperBunnyHop about it, he'll love that shit.

All they would need is an emergency beacon or something, like ED used to have (but got rid of for some reason...)

[Archangel125]

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;48924756]I just hope it doesn't equal Elite Dangerous where it's no supercruise fuel = you're fucked[/QUOTE]

Still, Elite is fair. You can check your Galaxy map and determine what sorts of stars are scoopable ahead of time by their letter designation (OBAFGKM), and plot your routes accordingly. It even shows you how many jumps on your route you can make before you run out of fuel, represented by a solid line and a dotted line.

If you go out into the black without a fuel scoop on your ship, then it's your own fault.

Thank god for the Fuel Rats.

There was originally supposed to be a system in Elite: Dangerous where you could hail a passing ship to get some fuel. It was even in the betas, but they never fleshed it out and eventually got rid of it. Now you've got to hope a player comes through with some fuel bots, or plot all your courses through red or orange star systems so you can scoop fuel.

Frontier's made a lot of stupid decisions regarding their universe. That game could have been so much more.

I'm sure CIG would be happy to reverse any gift transactions made to trolling Goons acting under false pretenses, too, if proof (SA post screenshots that link their bs to the ruse RSI account) was provided.

I saw those threads when they were active, and my bullshit meter went off hard. Something didn't seem right; especially the account openly volunteering the fact that it posted tit pics in /r/gonemild while posting like a mid-40s soccer mom. Like, too hard.

Wouldn't be surprised. That's chapter 1 of conning someone: Have undisclosed collaborators.

Here's something I've been a little frustrated on that CIG has not completed, ED did,
bobble heads in cockpit.

from reddit just a list of what's been accomplished and what's in progress or not in the pledges: [url]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hv9YAtPsltOAu84nwCKvUyYZdM6Kxl6e_8M_tRbYK5g/edit[/url]

I actually noticed this, and feel it should have been noted "in progress" with an asterisk saying "early concept". They've shown with the grabbyhands system that you'll be able to place things around your ship. Understandably it may be slightly tough to maneuver items in the cockpit depending on how you get in, due to a lot of seats being in the way. I'd imagine you could pocket some items then precision-place them after taking your seat
