what's the full download size of 2.0?
[QUOTE=Lamar;49207662]Alright, I'll just do that. The difference should even be less than that because of the Titan upgrade.
edit:
It was only a 15 dollar difference. Is there any point in using the upgrade feature at all? It seems like melting ships is always the better option because it doesn't limit you to your older packages features.[/QUOTE]
Upgrades let you keep your package benefits, including LTI (discontinued old package benefit) or alpha module access (obsoleted old package benefit, module passes are no longer needed). Additionally, for the more expensive packages that have multiple ships, you cannot break up the package; if you want to melt one ship, you melt them all, but you can upgrade individual ships within the package.
Also, old packages with physical items [I]cannot[/I] be melted (guess why) once any physical item has shipped.

PTU 2.0.0e is 30GB.

29.5gb going by the [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3uj93k/no_ptu_access_play_it_solo/"]No PTU[/URL] thing
someone on reddit is claiming they can access the pledge skins on aurora in the PTU holotable, NOT on the modified offline version
if I could get past the login server for PTU right now I'd be able to test this

I should check the other skins out while I have spare credits floating about
[editline]e[/editline]
I've checked and there's 4 total skins working, all of which only on aurora, out of my testable selection of aur, hornet, cutlass

the game bugged and let me choose to spawn ALL the ships
sadly, I was only able to get in a glaive and jump to a comsat before crash
[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;49208107]I'm not sure what I bought exactly for 30$, but basically some time in the future, I'll be able to shoot things in space in first person as well as explore with a spaceship right?[/QUOTE]
You could do that right now, technically.
Well, in 1.3, you can explore the confines of a 20km^3 asteroid belt with your choice of set decoration. But, yes.
This was possible in April.

This (excuse the terrible music for the first minute and a half) is in stress test on the test server right now, with the intention of going live to all soon.

I imagine there would be more people for this person to encounter if the main issues the patch wasn't having were stability and matchmaking ones.
BTW, dai, only the Aurora is alternate-skinned at all right now, and it's only the four skins with previews. Technically, the buggy is also skinnable, but it's a special case. And the skinning system is definitely in use, I mean specifically for the skins in the store.

Soon, everyone will work at CIG.
Two more Archimedes with LTI and a new graphics card. Help me, my wallet is dead.
Is there any free CCU's I should grab now while I still can? I'm interested in having a Spectre and Retaliator eventually, dunno if they're normally purchasable ships.
i forget, the khartu-al will be available in PU to hangar right?
I haven't heard but I'll ask around. My guess would be 'no' though (edit- assuming you meant 2.0)
edit-
[quote]Yes
It is in Tech setup
Will be in hangar in 2.0 soon[/quote]
nice!
what
if you're asking if it'll be a legally purchasable ship when the full game launches, yeah, since it's an export model marketed to us filthy apes
if you just mean "is it hangar ready" then no

Good thing Adam still works for FP and can only cancel Rust.
[QUOTE=dai;49210456][vid]http://i.imgur.com/JbEgfGG.webm[/vid][/QUOTE]
Incidentally, that model is explicitly the Khartu, the non-export version that Xi'An keep domestic-only. The way I can tell is that its primary turret (above the cockpit) is fitted with dual twin-linked guns - the Khartu-al they sell to humans is less well-armed with only two single turret guns instead of the twin-linked setup.
The Khartu-al is actively being worked on for hangar-readiness and flight-readiness, so I'm glad I didn't melt it (and everything else) for a Connie Phoenix.
I don't know what 2.0.0e did, but it's added stability in exchange for the return of the hardcore stuttering pauses I was experiencing in 2.0.0b before I added the thread-forcing lines to my user.cfg - and my user.cfg is [I]still there[/I] so I don't know what the problem is now.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;49210612]words are hard
i meant "will it be a legally purchasable ship"[/QUOTE]
Yes, very yes. The Khartu-al is the export version produced by the Xi'An for legal sale to humans.
You'll have to "liberate" the domestic version from a Xi'An owner yourself.
Any recommended guns to add onto to Avenger from the rec shop? Perhaps something gimbaled to go along with the tiger-strike?
GT870s (fixed but with the amount of firepower they put out it doesn't matter) are the current meta, try em before the 2.0 nerf
if you want gimballed, get gimbals for the wings and slap on some bulldogs. You'll melt shields down pretty fast and can get more punch out of laying in with ballistics
[QUOTE=the_killer24;49211434]GT870s (fixed but with the amount of firepower they put out it doesn't matter) are the current meta, try em before the 2.0 nerf[/QUOTE]
ew mixing fixed with the gimballed t-21
bulldogs seem to be the suggestion for everything, but I've found they're horrendously weak in 1.3 and overheat really quickly
my suggestion is longswords, amazing damage for size 1, and they hit the same reticule as the tiger. only downside is the limited ammo (but it's not as bad as the tiger)
[editline]30th November 2015[/editline]
also don't you need to own or REC [I]x[/I] gladiuseses to equip [I]x[/I] GT870's? you can't buy them in voyager
Does gimbal aiming thown you guys off or have you grown used to it? I feel very disconnected from my "aim" with the gimbal-ed tigerstrike on the avenger, I find it alot easier to hit people with fixed weapons.

in 1.3, you can hit the left-side ALT key to deactivate gimbal and fix the tigerstrike straight forward.

you'll never have ammo problems with the tiger if you utilize laser weapons for your wings to buzz off people's shields before using it. Picking your shots instead of spraying and praying is pretty empowering to the set.
The distortion cannons might actually be viable now that their range is increased but I haven't tried.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;49207422]Okay, well, the good news is, you're set once 2.0 goes live.
The bad news is until then you kind of have no flyable ship, and, in their infinite wisdom, CIG either forgot or did not assign loaners to the Avenger variant concept SKUs. They'll either fix this quickly, or they'll fix this by releasing 2.0 in a week or two.
However, if you follow[URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3uj93k/no_ptu_access_play_it_solo/"] this guide to trick the PTU files into working[/URL], your Avenger Titan should be accessible and flyable.[/QUOTE]
I've tried that PTU trick but i only managed to load the hangar and free flight. Whenever i try to do the cheat engine thing to get the persistent universe working i get stuck in an infinite loading screen. I wanna fly my Retaliator damnit :/
Also this guy seems to have some nice double standards, reporting the OP for "piracy" and "hacking" after realising he can't get the PTU "hack" working himself :v:
EDIT: Fuck off ShareX, my cursor was nowhere near the screenshot area.

lol at that guy getting ultra butthurt because other people got into the PTU files and he can't.
I would not be surprised if CIG broke this from working simply because the extra tens of thousands of people downloading the PTU from them was not in the plans when they ran the rollout. The infamous Disco Lando leaked build stopped working after a while, too. It may also have been messing with their reporting.

Baron is producing some good content and has a generally nice attitude on his streams.
On the other hand, the Captainwhatever guy that looks like billy mays drives me up a wall. He's really pushing the pewdiepie style where he overacts and makes a constant stream of dumb off-color jokes at every moment like his entire demographic is 12 years old
and it's working
I recently started hanging out with TEST peoples (including baron and captain) and the group overall is a fun lot. Their primary goal is drunk driving auroras in space so I mean who wouldn't be on board for that. There's just a few things that wig me out, primarily the guy running the show, 'CosmicTrader'. Dude has bot-like proficiency in spamming their group thread with advertisements every few hours, and talks SUPER enthusiastically on discord, sounds like a voice actor trying to sell you a product at every turn
