[editline]23rd March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=jonoPorter;47371263]Alright. Here's what me and elixwhitetail have decided to do. We're gonna start making posts like these every once in a while where people will able to join in on Star Citizen games. We're gonna follow [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1446202&p=47350619&viewfull=1#post47350619"]FPARMAs example[/URL] with this. So, the first game ever we are going to do is [B]tomorrow, Sunday 22th of March at 22:00 GMT.[/B] There are eight slots in total available for now. We're gonna play Squadron Battle, Capture the core and so on. Just post if you want to join in and say your exact SC tag so I can invite you. We're gonna be using the usual Facepunch Teamspeak server for this. (Connect with "prfn.se") People that are joining: jonoPorter - jonoPorter Xavith - Xavith elixwhitetail - orison Useful Dave - UsefulDave capgun - capgun Feral - treerat -open- (creec - creec_winceptor (maybe) - Dokbot (if creec doesn't show up)) archangel125 - Arthur-Locke I might add that if someone doesn't make it, you can still slot in I guess if you show up on Teamspeak.[/QUOTE] What room should i join on teamspeak?

I just gave the gladius a whirl and it's sort of weird. I don't know if it's just 1.1 but the only way combat works in that ship is if I use yaw to try and follow fighters/turn. Any hint of pitching and I just black/red out. Even if I slow the ship down. I also noted I wasn't getting any of the fancy new damage stuff, so I don't know what that was about.

I think there might be a bug with the damage states on the Gladius because I'm not seeing them, either. Slow down to half speed or less if you're gonna go for turn-and-burn dogfighting. P.S. try not to turn and burn, you're not playing an atmospheric aircraft flight sim. You're in space and you can hit tab to decouple your direction of travel and your facing direction. If a guy's on your ass, spin around and shoot him in the face instead of letting him put lasers up your main thruster. It's 3pm, Arch is AWOL and Dokbot's in. Fingers crossed the servers aren't still shitting the bed.

Sorry, guys, tried to join but my client kept crashing on me. Got fucked up. Another day, then. :/

You are not missing on anything tbh. [t]http://a.pomf.se/wthwbp.Png[/t]

Yeah, the servers just refused to do any matches, but we managed to get organized reasonably well enough. [sp]fucking jono selecting F7CMs[/sp] We could try for events this week, once the servers are somewhat intact. Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon/evening North America time good for anyone? (Yeah, Euro corpies might not be able to attend; feel free to arrange an earlier-in-the-day match, too.)

I'm from Finland (GMT+2) and the time was not bad at all for me so i could probably come during week aswell. (As soon as servers are fixed) Kinda interesting to notice how all the REC people spent now is kinda wasted (it's not going to pay you off because you can't earn REC now without servers).

Tuesday's ideal for me. Mondays and Wednesdays see me at college from morning to night.

I keep seeing a lot of people playing this game. Is it out in some sort of beta or what? I'd very much like to try it.

[QUOTE=Ax3l;47376835]I keep seeing a lot of people playing this game. Is it out in some sort of beta or what? I'd very much like to try it.[/QUOTE] Its in a pretty much pre-alpha state. You have to back it. [URL="https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge"]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge [/URL] don't let the prices scare you, those are only for funding, once the game is out, paying for ships should be gone.

Thanks. I'll probably wait till the game comes out in a more money-friendly form. Is it going to have some sort of subscription fee?

The most money friendly choice is the 30e~ something priced pledge that gives you game once it's released.

Have they mentioned if the price will go up at or around release?

[QUOTE=Dispenser;47376884]Have they mentioned if the price will go up at or around release?[/QUOTE] Yep. It's about 30ish to back now at the most basic level. Once the game's out, that'll double at the very least.

The game is pay-once-play-forever, GW2 style. However, future single-player campaigns (like Squadron 42, but new content and different stories) will likely be paid DLC, since, duh. There will be a subscription option for people who want to support the game, but it'll be like subscriptions are now; you get an extra little something in return for going above and beyond to provide monthly financial support, but it doesn't give you bonuses in-game. I guess a jukebox is arguably a bonus, but it won't help me in combat. A drinks bar is a definite bonus but [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsuTGI9uku4"]being shitfaced is definitely not going to help in combat[/URL]. Retail will be $60, IIRC. Keep in mind that package pricing will go up when they add the major module passes (fps, etc.) for non-alpha backers, and existing backers will be paying those unless they want to forego interacting with the module before PU beta. (AC 2.0 is included with AC, not a separate pass.) [QUOTE=creec;47376586]I'm from Finland (GMT+2) and the time was not bad at all for me so i could probably come during week aswell.

If it does count just by activating Arena Commander, welp, it's one day. FPCorp'll help you earn more.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;47377569]I never knew this was a thing[/QUOTE] Not too many people are willing to talk to other facepunchers directly.

[QUOTE=archangel125;47377003]Yep. It's about 30ish to back now at the most basic level. Once the game's out, that'll double at the very least.[/QUOTE] I know the prices now, I just couldn't remember anything about what the final shipped price would be. Do we actually have a solid price tag for when it ships? Just asking for future reference.

I got a decent bit of money in today. 1 question now: Aurora MR or Mustang Alpha?

[QUOTE=Daemon White;47381177]I got a decent bit of money in today. 1 question now: Aurora MR or Mustang Alpha?[/QUOTE] Mustang Alpha.

whichever one you like, you can switch between them freely using the CCUs until ship buying is disabled most people (including me) prefer the mustang though, its more maneuverable and faster (i think?) and the canopy and interface are a lot easier on the eyes

Alright. I'll start with Mustang. Does that mean that carrying capacity has no use right now? It seems to me that Mustang = flight maneuverability / mercenary while Aurora = Carrying capacity / merchant

[QUOTE=Daemon White;47381281]Alright. I'll start with Mustang. Does that mean that carrying capacity has no use right now?[/QUOTE] Correct.

you'll be able to buy a box in the PU to hang under the stang anyway really the only thing the aurora has over the mustang atm is the bed

My [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/2zznpc/wts_wtb_kanes_middleman_services_and_megastore/]Physical Freelancer LTI[/url] is listed now under #979 for $270. With the middleman fee, it'll end up netting me about $248 however. If anyone is looking for said package, I'll cut him something under $270/above $248.
