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

[QUOTE=Techbot;48408791]you need to "apply" the upgrade first, it doesn't automatically do that after you buy it.[/QUOTE] Oh that was it, can't believe I missed that. Thanks.

Okay, kids, two hours from now, [URL="http://time.unitarium.com/utc/8pm"]8pm UTC[/URL], TS3 prfn.se in the Spacepunchers room. At least one Glaive, two if Khorn can show. Nobody showed interest for a later-day session so I'm going with this one. Drop-ins welcome as always but try to get there on time. We tend to have an hour of futzing and tech issues and it'd be good if we got that down to under 15 minutes of gaggling about and cat wrangling before we get in-game, especially once fps and multicrew hit and interest presumably increases a lot. Make sure you redeem the Gamescom code first for extra variety. ScottyWired, report in with a time that'd be good for you that hopefully isn't 3am for the rest of us because I want to arrange an event I know you'll be able to make it to. Tomorrow overlaps with fparma's usual weekly events, so timing might be tight there, but the rest of the week's ahead of us too.

Half hornet, half aurora, all deadly!

yes it can be done as a group it's not free, you can rent it for 35k REC or buy it from $350 (531 left at time of post)

Will the subscriber version of the Gamescom Trophy still be available after it's over? I'd like to get both versions at some point but I'm not a subscriber at the moment.

It's been a month or so since I last played, but I booted up and patched all the new stuff and I'm getting horrendous input lag with the mouse when I try to fly stuff. I guess I've caught some weird bug?

caved and traded the cat for a retaliator with dropship seating up front, living quarters in back, and options for cargo to swap out for front or back. Large ops, small ops, pirate ops, exploration, travel and transport, all in the comfort of the sleek aegis style, with self sufficient armaments to hold its own. Everything I wanted from the cat for the same price, but more turrets!

I guess there's no way for me to get both versions then.

Ordinary subscriber-exclusive items hang around for purchase afterwards, event trophies are always limited-time. When they added a subscriber-exclusive variant to each of the trophies for this year, they didn't change that policy (which would've been nice but hey). Also, VD means it isn't giftable (until the PU's up, then it's tradeable like anything else) and you can't see the subscriber version in VD unless you're a sub.

So I did something bad... [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/433821946839415898/42AADD7BD3BA8759B525BF98BFFAF96B8E1A8F7C/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/433821946839417232/FA0CAD0396C32C6D94ACEE76C077BF9E087DFB87/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/433821946839417373/1DF869ABCAC70ECA94A8A6597F71BAAE3F87DF59/[/t] Afterwards I managed to get the Mustang nose turret onto the wings, and had 6 badgers... but my PC crashed hard and now SC has to 'update'

My father and I are going for a Retaliator later today, ideas on the module loadout? I'm thinking either two torpedo bays or a torpedo bay and a dropship module. Thoughts?

Welp, I'm late. Just woke up finally. If anyone wants another round with a Glaive, I'm gonna be sitting in the FP TS.

[B]BEHOLD! THE SUROURA![/B] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11742779/Star%20Citizen/ScreenShot0015.jpg[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11742779/Star%20Citizen/ScreenShot0016.jpg[/t] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11742779/Star%20Citizen/ScreenShot0017.jpg[/t] Contemplating replacing countermeasures with Hornet missile racks, and the original missile rack with a hornet ball turret...

After using the Glaive, I have to say, love the turning. But the ship itself isn't worth it.

[QUOTE=Ithon;48410477]then you find how modular the cat is and find it could have staked turrets on it.[/QUOTE] the cat I had came with 6 months insurance [i]it turns out the new tali and modules all have LTI[/i] :incredible: [editline]e[/editline] BUT it's not technically hangar-ready. I hear leaving hangar config empty will show it though, patching at the moment

I was under the impression the Caterpillar was supposed to be super modular. Like each segment could be swapped out for something else. Not that the little Vanguard shmup is an official source or anything, but in that some segments had turrets and others had missile launchers. If that ends up being the case it'd be fun to turn the Caterpillar into a broadsiding gunship or some kind tiny missile destroyer with missile hardpoints everywhere. Like this basically, but I forgot it was completely fan made. [t]http://i.imgur.com/pjoorEa.jpg[/t]

update: I've found out what it's like to chew 5 gum [t]http://i.imgur.com/0LfWPVg.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RvBldrG.jpg[/t]

This is a rather petty thing to say this late in, but I'm seriously hoping that the character customization on the finished game is extensive enough to let me create a character who looks like me, even if only superficially or idealistically. I've seen loads of games that appear to be ethnically diverse, having Asian, African/Carribean, Hispanic and Caucasian characters, but none that look Indian. Which is a little sad considering my people make up a sixth of the world's population. The only game so far that's had characters that appear South Asian is DayZ standalone. Can you believe that shit? So that's my little hope for Star Citizen.

I suppose that means i missed out on those, i don't remember there being any before this one. Any idea if the subscriber trophies will be trade-able once the PU is up?

So I'm trying to install using the new launcher and I get this: [t]http://puu.sh/jturF/5196ac1ce0.jpg[/t] And then the speed just drops to like .01 kb/s Anyone know how to fix?

Note, this is basically the same kind of file that Disco Lando accidentally leaked that was pointing to the fps build that was leaked. I'm not sure [I]where[/I] in the SC folder structure the file goes, though. Also, reinstall and give it another try, and it's possible CIG might've fucked up or something's wrong with the download/launcher. [QUOTE=nightlord;48415333]There are other trophies already then?

There weren't any for events in the first half of this year (PAX East/South, SXSW).

Anyone wanna fly? Add me on steam [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/sgt-spartans[/url]

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48419769]anyone feel like playing a bit right now [editline]9th August 2015[/editline] doesnt work[/QUOTE] Ding dong dang.

Just watched the FPS part of the stream It looks even jankier than Arma. I love arma, but... :(

If you want to fly, get into TS3. pfrn.se, Space Punchers room.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;48419844]If you want to fly, get into TS3. pfrn.se, Space Punchers room.[/QUOTE] I get an error when I try to connect

prfn.se, I fucked up typing four letters in the right order. :hurr:

[QUOTE=Mbbird;48419807]Just watched the FPS part of the stream It looks even jankier than Arma. I love arma, but... :([/QUOTE] for some reason the fps part looked like absolute shit as in, check out the animation preview vid from a recent update post, it looks way smoother
