Star Citizen Megathread - Fly FREE thru Dec 14th! Link in OP - Games

pretty much since the start of hangar module actually :v: [editline]15th March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Alsojames;47323748]How agile is it?[/QUOTE] I haven't had a chance to try it but I understand it's pretty much the most agile non-racing ship

[QUOTE=the_killer24;47324224]you've been able to change equipment for like a year and a half, use the holotable[/QUOTE] Uhh, what is holotable and where can i find it?

[QUOTE=creec;47324375]Uhh, what is holotable and where can i find it?[/QUOTE] It's the black desk infront of your ship in the hangar. [editline]15th March 2015[/editline] You can navigate it by using the cursor that shows up when you press Tab.

I wondered if you have to use site or something and couldn't find anything.

[QUOTE=krail9;47324256] I haven't had a chance to try it but I understand it's pretty much the most agile non-racing ship[/QUOTE] I'll have to check it out once 1.1 goes live. Gonna put a pair of badgers and a bulldog on it. Another question: has the Ghost's signature-reducing tech been implemented yet?

yes, currently there's an optional hidden slot for 'armour' which adds multipliers to both damage taken and emissions the ghost has this 'void armour' which reduces IR and EM missions by 50% and reduces cross section signature by 75%

How effective is it?

I think cross section is the whole targeting thing. In other words, if your cross section signature is lowered by something, you're harder to detect on radar and target.

Cross section is basically good old low tech radar. All it means is that the Ghost's armor absorbs radio waves.

Damn, now I'm tempted to get a Ghost. SO MANY CHOICES. I NEED A JOB.

mm, i thought it was maybe visual cross section. arent there visual seeker heads as a third option from IR and radar? [editline]15th March 2015[/editline] lets talk about how buttfucking huge 75% is i have a feeling SC is going to be a strange game

[QUOTE=Alsojames;47328050]Damn, now I'm tempted to get a Ghost. SO MANY CHOICES. I NEED A JOB.[/QUOTE] There's the free flight on currently at least, so you can give it a try first, also there's the Vanguard concept sale coming up, an escort fighter.

I can't pick any ship but the Aurora in the game, how come? It's free flight after all.

[QUOTE=Fussy!;47329708]I can't pick any ship but [B]the Orion[/B] in the game, how come? It's free flight after all.[/QUOTE] what game are you playing???

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline] lets talk about how buttfucking huge 75% is i have a feeling SC is going to be a strange game[/QUOTE] it's probably just very high atm since the mechanics aren't that fleshed out, it's really impossible to notice the differing sigs atm unless you fully lose track of your target, so the massive decrease is required so it's at least obvious the ghost is different [editline]15th March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Fussy!;47329793]I fixed it, I was thinking of something else :v:[/QUOTE] do you know how to select other ships? they wont show up in your hangar unless you clear it, you select them from a dropdown before starting/joining the match

I fixed it, I was thinking of something else :v:

[URL="https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14525-Galactic-Guide-Helios-System"]The Helios system lorepost is up.[/URL] [QUOTE]The star itself is partly to blame for this unusual variety of purposes. Helios is a Helium Strong type B star that produces an unusual astrophysical phenomenon: long bands of non-ionized helium. These bands result in strong magnetic fields in the photosphere, which in turn wreak a peculiar type of havoc with ship sensors: even large capital ships are capable of 'hiding' in the star's EM wake.[/QUOTE] [t]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/6luegb4kz4lntr/source/Tangora2.jpg[/t] I hope this planet gets underwater surface-exploration activities eventually.

I was checking out Star Citizen streams last night, came upon this guy, he fell asleep :v: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/C5pcisz.png[/thumb]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbZLbb0_RBI[/media] SXSW presentation montage. Some amazing new Planetside Module and FPS module footage. Holy shit.

Wow planetside looks really nice

As long as FPS and the PU isn't as slow or laggy or clunky like the hangar currently is, I will be a happy panda.

I can't stop grinning. Arccorp in the rain looks awesome. Gonna be great watching the backpedals from people who called Star Citizen a scam even as recent as this year as update after update makes the game more real and the long production chain begins to push out the big stuff.

Do we know anything about mining yet? Will we be landing on barren planets and deforming terrain? Will it be a first or third person ordeal? Will it require multiple people? I haven't really seen a lot about it, other than the ships. If any of you guys know about this I'd love to hear it.

I don't plan on buying any ships until the game has most of its features implemented anyway, so any sales I'll probably miss till then.

I only hope that the devs can make all of these separate 'modules' work together right in the final game, and seamlessly.

since we can fly all the ships i decided to rip the engine from my 315p and mount it on a super hornet and then replaced the two behring guns with another pair of bulldog repeaters [editline]16th March 2015[/editline] geneva conventions can kiss my ass

update: bulldogs are for pussies I found some badgers on the other hornets [editline]16th March 2015[/editline] SIX. BADGERS. [editline]16th March 2015[/editline] and the Avenger's engine E: upon relaunching I discovered the square engine won't fit a round port [editline]16th March 2015[/editline] except I crashed using the hanger table :(

Wait. Six badgers on the super Hornet? You're running the current stable build and not the PTU, right? Just to be sure. That's fixed in the PTU build, the canard only takes size 1s max now.
