Star Citizen Megathread - Star Marine isn't doomed after all! - Games

[QUOTE=dai;50645098]have you tested it with some more controlled play, IE freeflight or even just VS?[/QUOTE] No, it'll work then. The problems with the Vanguard's weapons systems occur only in Crusader. Which is annoying, because prior to 2.4, they weren't there.

I really wanted to watch the video on the Terra system, but the roleplay of Earth vs. Terra was too cringe-inducing, I just couldn't do it. Even Adam Wieser at the very beginning is like "Do we really have to do this?"

If they moved the capital, would they even call it the UEE? Since well, United EARTH Empire.

This means 2.5, if it includes GrimHex, is likely to see an expansion in play space. Or possibly not, lord knows there's fucktons of unused space in the existing Crusader map.

Ready for sale "Lightning"? What the fuck? I'm going to be annoyed with them if they put the F8 lightning up.

terrapin i hope whatever a origin 600 is is a jump 890 lite, i want a space yacht or a carrack

it says 'terrapin', one of the alternate starters [QUOTE]A literal tough nut to crack, the Terrapin is the most heavily armored of the base-priced spacecraft on the market. Originally designed for long-range survey missions in dangerous star systems, the Terrapin’s design philosophy involves wrapping the ship in additional layers of armor and reserving a significant amount of engine power to host the largest shield generator in its class. Terrapins are popular among private miners, with an equipment mount and a small storage hold that can be converted for valuable minerals.[/QUOTE]

not sure if it was mentioned but how much bigger is the bengal compared to the super old models we've seen? Looked massive and cavernous also Aegis Eclipse, why does this sound like some sort of star destroyer, or the big stealth/military JJAbrams starfleet ship

Check out the finances of Star Citizens biggest studio, Foundry 42 [url]https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08703814/filing-history[/url] spoiler alert [sp]they are very financially stable and theres no sign of them spending all the backer bucks already[/sp]

[URL="https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15408-Monthly-Studio-Report"]June monthly report is up[/URL], haven't read it through yet. Long as balls as always. [QUOTE]What comes after Alpha 2.4? Alpha 2.5, of course! 2.5 is going to add a major point of interest to the Crusader area: the GrimHex pirate base. As we continue to develop our reputation and faction system, we need a place for pirates to call home rather than having everyone on Port Olisar together. So we’ve built a very cool station with some exciting features you’re going to enjoy. 2.5 will also feature the flyable Reliant and a number of other updates we’ll be discussing in the coming weeks. It’s also full speed ahead for Gamescom! Cloud Imperium will have a booth on the showfloor to show off Star Citizen, and there will be several chances to catch up with the team outside the convention. Expect to see more details before the next Monthly Report is due![/QUOTE] [t]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/i6k3vm4xvtxb8r/source/MR_UK_Header_June2016.jpg[/t] This is the full version of the UK's header. I'm guessing that's a ship explosion from a landing pad impact or something, but ??? [t]https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/whfeoi119k99hr/source/Levski-1.jpg[/t] Nyx/Levski's looking exactly as rundown and shitty as I think it should be.

Look at that last one, it's clearly got "Green Imperial" on there.

I don't play or follow this game much but that pirate base in everything I want a pirate base to be

anyone else noticed this? [t]http://techbot.xyz/ShareX/screenshots/2016/07/09/Star_Citizen_Megathread_-_Take_a_shot_everytime_so_10-40_1568.png[/t] what is the station's original name?

some other signs said 'green imperial hex'

I'm trying to set the graphics to "Very high" from "High" but it doesn't seem to save. Why is this?

there was a bug once where it was actually set to very high, but it just displayed it wrong. Maybe it's back.

[QUOTE=Techbot;50684425]there was a bug once where it was actually set to very high, but it just displayed it wrong. Maybe it's back.[/QUOTE] Not sure, i can't seem to set it to Medium either as it just shows "High" Also is there a way to set certain graphic options individually?

At the moment the only way to toggle individual graphic options is to force them manually with a .cfg file. CIG intends on building out the options menu proper once they've got things all sorted--remember that entire sections of Cryengine have been rewritten and others are still being rewritten, including a lot of graphics dev, so vanilla Cryengine's settings aren't all even relevant or accurate anymore. Do you have a user.cfg file sitting in your (path)/Star Citizen/Public folder? If so, it might have a line at the top marked sys_spec = x (a number), and if so, that's automatically forcing you onto a certain graphics default. Take it out or change it to 3 (for high). I haven't tried changing the settings in 2.4.1 so I don't know if it's actually borked in the client or not.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;50686065]I don't know if I could feel comfortable piloting a ship the size of an african village I mean it looks like the entire current population of Crusader players could fit in there If FP ever gets hold of one of these there will need to be strict regulations to prevent infiltration and loitering[/QUOTE] That thing's way bigger than an african village, try several city blocks layered on top of one another. And yeah, communication and coordination would be the biggest challenge of running a ship that enormous. Quick question for those inclined, I saw that the Lightning was up on the concept sale board in the video. I thought they weren't selling any military standard ships other than the Idris variant?

[QUOTE=Daemon White;50669577]I think the Lightning is supposed to fall under "In Concept" Ready For Sale point looks like it says "Terrasa"?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=the_killer24;50686473][/QUOTE] The Aegis Terrapin, confirmed on RtV, although apparently the ship concept has changed since it was presented to us in the starter ship poll. The Hurricane's also in there but has likely role-changed as well. The first challenge an org will face once they repair a derelict Bengal is figuring out the logistics of actually flying the fucker and not being a sitting duck that anyone with a Cutlass can capture.
