New patch is live, [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3u0uut/ptu_200b_patch_notes/"]2.0.0b patch notes here[/URL], and a very important note:
[QUOTE]The Hangar elevator is not working and will cause a client crash when users attempt to use it to go to Crusader.
Please go to Crusader via the new Main Menu -> Universes -> Crusader option.[/QUOTE]

New menu:

Apparently, one of the comm relays gives you coordinates to an asteroid cluster. [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3u0vxd/its_lonely_out_here/"]A Redditor took some screenshots.[/URL] Naturally, when one is taking awesome screenshots, one must be fabulous.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;49174726]I've never seen the Connie look as shitty as the top one, and the middle one is what I'm more familiar with, but I also wasn't a backer at this stage in development so I wasn't there.[/QUOTE]

the middle one is the rework that came with the variants, merlin got moved to the back with an engine room, and the beds got moved to in front of the cargo

[Archangel125]

The new patch any better? I hear they're mostly client crashes now, not server ones.

[dai]

my crashes still seemed to be timeouts. Could be the client-end losing connection but still

Is there a way to do the CCU trick with any of the Vanguards or would one end up spending more money?

The new menu looks amazing, those Idris ships are quite massive too bad we don't have a new close up on that bengal carrier.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;49176615]Is there a way to do the CCU trick with any of the Vanguards or would one end up spending more money?[/QUOTE]

you can get a redeemer > Vanguard Warden CCU for free, redeemer is available any time. The sentinel and harbinger models have equivalent price upcharges for their CCU from that point. Same as the last ones, you can purchase a cheap LTI Archimedes this week and CCU that up into that redeemer whenever.

The CCU trick will cost you exactly as much as it would if you just bought the final ship outright, with the only exception being if you start with a game package ship for the CCU, since game packages have a few bucks on top.

[Viper123_SWE]

I think I'll stick to the Arch/Tau/Sabre CCU tactic then. Also, are the tokens avalaible for purchase at all times alongside the Archimedes?

Upgrades [I]to[/I] limited ships are only available when they are. The Archimedes is on concept sale right now, that's why it's got LTI. The next time it'll be available, it won't have LTI.

The upgrade token [I]from[/I] the Archimedes (limited for the time being) [I]to[/I] the Taurus will be available anytime because the Taurus is permanently on sale.

[Viper123_SWE]

Aight, thanks for the info guys.

[darkgodmaste]

Is the PTU more stable with the update?

I haven't actually had a chance to get into the PTU since 2.0.0b (first attempt gave me a timeout, then I tried later before bed and actually got "kicked" as the connection error), but from what I saw from dai's streaming, not by [I]much[/I].

Also, a dev comment on the RSI forums indicates that available hangar tier is tied to the most expensive ship on your account, whether or not it is an upgrade or was directly purchased at original price. I upgraded a P-72 into my Khartu-al and I have the R&Y hangar again.

So, what I've been saying about hangars being attached to the package and how upgrading meant I'd lose it? Ignore that shit, it was incorrect.

i just "bought" 10 titan to reliants, taurus to khartus, and redeemer to mms

The upgrades to the Reliant may not be necessary since the Reliant's going to be the third starter ship and they're working to get it flight-ready ASAP. As for the others, worth hanging onto; I picked up extra Taurus->Khartu and Khartu->Taurus tokens so I can swap mine around (and, in theory, LTI Connie Taurus would be fun too, maybe).

And, you never know when those will be handy, and they ddn't cost you anything. Only downside is your My Hangar list being cluttered.

[QUOTE]the component of g-force from rotations about a ship's center of mass is not yet functional. There is a bug in the reporting of the position of the player relative to the ship that can cause it to be out of sync, and this can cause extremely high g-forces during rapid rotation. In practice, a rotation that is normally in the 10-20 gee range can spike up into the 1000 gee range. Once that's fixed we'll turn on rotational gees and start to account for them.[/QUOTE]
God, I love alpha bugs. :v:

Before each attempt to play delete your entire test user folder, it will fuck your bindings but out of 10 tries the 3 ones i deleted the user folder before were the only ones that lasted over 3 minutes, one even lasted about 20

[Mr. Khorn]

Managed to get to the security station and grab a gun. It started to get laggy though, so didn't get to enjoy FPS with smooth FPS.

Hopped into my ship, flew off to a comm array, saw fights, but so no ships. Crashed.

Also, as an FYI on the guns, they are in weapon lockers in the areas with windows to the outside of the station. Only found an AR.

[Techbot]

I don't have access to the ptu, but does any of the ships use this ai voice?

The new patch made the experience much more stable, still crashes but much better.

Welp, time to forget all about getting to play 2.0 for a couple of weeks.

[DokVis]

Damn, I've already started on my other foot.

[Mr. Khorn]

There might be a way to play "2.0", if you weren't invited.

You could try getting the files from a torrent or someone here and replace your public folder with it.
You'd have to replace broken moon with crusader map and play through drone sim.

No quantum or cruise modes though, so you're gonna be stuck at Stanton.

[Capgun]

well there goes any thanksgiving play hopes

Why can't I find the Taurus to Sabre CCU?

[elix]

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;49180472]Why can't I find the Taurus to Sabre CCU?[/QUOTE]

:speechless:

Because, once again, [I]the sales are one-day-only, each[/I], until the weekend when everything comes back in.

For anyone who doesn't have PTU access, let me tell you what you're missing.

A minute and a half to load the new menu, and then 4 and a half minutes attempting to load the baby PU, only to be greeted with this, every single damn time if I don't instead get Error 0 Timed Out or just the black screen of hung death:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Z1aqYvz.jpg[/t]

Every time. Full client restart to try again. I'm moving my PTU install to my SSD to see if that solves it, because jfc I have not even been able to play since 2.0.0b except in SP free flight and QDrive doesn't work there.

wtf 45 minutes to transfer 30GB, this SSD and 1.5TB drive are on 3GB/s SATA, what's this 9MB/s shit.

[dai]

Sales are themed sets per day, missed the initial grouping for sabre. You can find it again on the 29th though

[editline]e[/editline]

finally, elix ninjas ME

in the meantime, I've picked up 2 more P-72's, either to sell off to friends or maybe do a giveaway way later on to garner some attention from prospective citizens

[elix]

Holy [I]shit[/I] the SSD made a big difference.

HDD: Server kicks my too-slow-for-life ass during loading at 4 minutes 30 seconds
SSD: Port Olisar wake-up animation in 50 seconds

holy fuck everything is like three times better. Hasn't crashed yet but give it a chance, I haven't called up a ship yet.

I met Korro by chance. And he got left behind as soon as I jumped away in Q-Drive, and I had no idea.

Via Reddit, someone took the Connie racing. 10/10
[video=youtube;86OI2Rr6qxg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86OI2Rr6qxg[/video]

Korro decided to test the science of jumping out the back of an Avenger during QDrive.
